Returning Manure to
Worn Soils Profitable

Return of barnyard manure to worn
soils has long been recognized as a
profitable farm practice. In France,
a farmers prosperity often is meas
ured in terms of the size of the ma
nure pile which he has carefully built
near his stable. He has learned so
well to utilize manure that this meth
cd of judging him is very good cri-
terion. Soil conditions and cropping
practices in the fertile cornbelt are
very different, for the most part, from
those in France. However, our soils
are losing their virgin fertility rapidly
and even now the most productive
lands usually respond well in crop in
creases when manure is applied.

Time to Lay

From the middle to the last of Sep
TENDER is the ideal time for your pull
lets to start to lay. If they start be-
fore, there are chances of mott. If
they do not begin laying until later,
they will not be in high production
for peak prices. This laying time may
be regulated by the protein feed in the
growing mash. Early-hatched chicks
should not receive as much protein as
those Matched in April and May. Prop
er feeding will regulate the number Of
eggs produced by the hen.

Hybrid Triumph

What is regarded as an achieve
ment in plant breeding has just been
accomplished in the production of a
cross between a cabbage and a radish,
says the Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The two are of remote rela-
tionship, hence the hybrid is con-
sidered far more remarkable than
those yielded by crossing varieties
that more closely resemble each
other.

Pasture for Hogs

Alfalfa is one of the very best pas
ture crops for hogs of all ages wheth-
er they are pigs being fattened for
market or brood sows which are being
carried through the summer to farrow
again in the fall. During dry sum-
mer, however, alfalfa does not make
enough growth to supply sufficient
pasture. For this reason, some other
crop, such as sudan grass, should be
provided. Sudan grass is especially
desired by hogs and furnishes supe-
rior grazing during dry weather.

Seven Ages of Woman

Women also have their seven ages.

they won't marry anyone except rich
man, when they won't even marry a

Plants in Order

A dairy cow may not be able to
compete with steam engine in the
production of power; on the other
hand, a steam engine would certainly
be out of place in COW stall. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that we feed steam
engine for the production Of steam
power, and a COW for the production
of milk. In both cases we must main
tain the manufacturing plants in good
working order.

Sell Young Ducks

Young ducks should be sold at the
age Of ten weeks or they will mott
and lose weight very rapidly. Find
ing a good market seems to be a great
difficulty with many growers but any
of our large cities want good fat
ducks most any time of the year and
with the commission firms and express
a good market should not be hard to
find. The demand for good fat ducks
was never better and as the demand
for chickens increases, so it will for
ducks.

"Gold Star Mothers"

There seems to be no official in
depreciation of the term gold star
mother" The Gold Star Mothers as
ISOLATION defines such a mother as
one whose son was killed overseas
during the World war or who was
killed on the sea while serving in the
war. The American War Mothers
association defines a gold star mother
as one whose son has died between
the dates of April 6, 1917, and No
vember II, 1920, from wounds or disa-
bility incurred in service during the
war.

Greeks Ate Asparagus

Asparagus has been for at least g,
600 years a favorite table delicacy.
The ancient Greeks are said to have
first become acquainted with it's use
and virtues when they came into con-
tact with their Asiatic neighbors. The
Romans obtained the succulent vege-
table in turn from the Greeks and for
centuries cultivated it as luxury for
the wealthy.-Gas Logic.

The use of red ink by many banks,

vent spoilage if the grain is Immature
or damp or if the grain contains
green weed seeds.
Watch Spring Wheat.
In the spring wheat area any wheat
which contains more than II per cent
moisture must be watched carefully
while it is in storage. Rely on ven-
tilated bins only for wheat that is
ripe, fairly dry, clean and sound, say
the investigators. If only one of these
essentials is lacking the wheat may
spoil even in ventilated bins. The high
er the moisture content of the grain
the greater will be the danger of
spelling while it Is in storage.

 With regard to your approving or vetoing the action of the council ! in fixing the salary of Mir.

The common council had right to fix that sal ary although under no necessity of doing SO If the common council had changed the salary, the change would have been binding. but the common council did fix it at s120o the same as the salary of his prede- cessor and this last word of the common council is valid It is diff ficult to see wherein the clty's finances are to be affected whether s1200 is paid by virtue of the ordi- nance. or by virtue of the common councils action of July 18th.

The fountain for the Walnut Hill park Wading pool will be in opera ton September Is, several days be- fore the memorial dedication, Charles F. Smith, donor of the fountain, has been advised.
 In addition to supplying cooling spray to the hundreds of children who daily use the pool, it will have a pumping arrangement by which the basin can be thoroughly cleans ed and a much better supply Of Wa ter can be obtained making more frequent changes of water possible.
 The fountain is 53 inches high With base 45 inches in diameter and 24 inches in diameter at the top The spray is l2 inches in d. ameter.
 The fountain is one solid bronze casting weighing something over | 500 pounds It is holted to a con- crete base, present concrete in the fountain not being strong enough to hold so heavy a weight a suitable foundation of reenforced concrete is to be laid thereon.
 In the base of the fountain are several openings so that dirt cannot accumulate.

To this hose connection Lo nn71i. provided as a part of the equip ment so that this can be used for flushing out the basin whenever the water is drawn off. At the present time the only way the basin IS cleaned is by brooms, and brooms do not get out the dirt. This is ar important part for the sanitation c1 the bowl.
