Letter from Leslie Hamilton to John

 Lover Mine:
 am sitting in my drawing room It is very late. There is no more passing before my door: nothing as- sails my ears except the sound oi the pounding wheels underneath the car which keeps saying. "The miles are lengthening between you-the miles are lengthening between you the miles are lengthening between you.'
 The monotony of the refrain is maddening, even if the fact were not breaking my heart-my sad heart, which keeps trying to bridge those weary miles that are stretch ing out further and further from me to you.
 Hearts. you know, are never world ly. never practical. They do not reason. they only feel--and that is why perhaps they are bruised and hurt so often.
 Tonight my heart is crying out to that part of my brain we humans Go II IT 5dSUIl, lldt U lldb DdStiS pcI . suaded me to give up that which I know now makes existence life, for the sake of following out some silly convention of society.

 You know, John dear, that my mother would never have forgiven me had I slipped away and married you without letting anyone know, as you wanted me to do. Mothersi want to make the world think at least, that their daughters are go- ing to something better than they ave ever had before. and much of the compensation which will come to my mother for losing her daugh- ter will be the glory of sending me to you in the proper manner.

face. To eliminate heating it is only
necessary TO crow6 out the air In the
waste by moisture. Sometimes, how
ever, the amount of rainfall is not
sufficient to keep filed the interstices
of the pile. In such cases heating en-
sues and loss of ammonia takes place.
We have seen badly 'firefanged"
manure in open pits. However, this
was due to neglect on the part of the
owner and might have occurred had
the manure been held under cover.
The chief virtue of this last form of
storage is that 1t permits one to regu-
late at will the amount of moisture
that manure contains. In either case.
the result will be the same if the
manure is not permitted to dry out.
With the pit and the overhead shell
ter making for the same results the
choice between them lies in other fac
tors, chief of which is the matter Of

moved. Unless pit is provided with

is easier, also, to load manure into

elevated from pit sunk below the sur

are so constructed that the spreader
can be driven into them. some Will
see in the extra equipment Necessary
for handling of liquids an objection to
the pit equipped with cistern. On
the other hand the use of liquid of
this kind on early crops is sometimes
an advantage. All in all. while the
ends served are the same, the cnolce

MANURE STORAGE
IS BIC PROBLEM
Not Always Convenient to Haul
Fertilizer Directly to Fields
for Distribution
PLAN TO PREVENT LEACHING
No Material Loss Sustained Where
Concrete Pit Is Employed-ln
Gases of Heating Loss of
Ammonia Takes Place.

In providing for the storage of ma
nure during the periods when 1t Is I'M
practical to take it directly to the
fields for distribution the choice rests
between some form of shed, or over
head shelter, and some kind of pit,
or reservoir. 1t may seem that these
quite different forms of storage imply
different theories in regard to han
ding the waste, since one leaves the
manure exposed to the elements while
the other shelters and shields it from
rain and weather.
Temporary Storage.
In making provision for temporary
storage of manure two things are
sought. The first is to prevent the
teaching away of soluble portions; the
second is to eliminate heating in the
manure pile by crowding out the air
with moisture so that the bacteria
which cause heating will be denied
air from which they derive the oxygen
necessary for their work. Both the
pit and the overhead shelter accom-
plish the first of these. When n
concrete pit is used it makes no diff
ference whether the manure is under
cover or not SO far as teaching is con-
cerned. The soluble portions cannot
get away in either case. When an
overhead shelter is used, there will be
scant loss from teaching even If the
manure is not stored upon concret"
floor, since the litter will retain the
liquid portion of the excrement, while
the roof overhead will keep off the raiI
which would cause the pile to leach.
Control Heat of Pile.
As for the second objective-that of
controlling the heat of the pile-the
pit is supposed, theoretically, to take
care of this automatically through the
rain that falls upon its exposed sur
