SAVE YOl'K MANURE. The total value of manure produced in this country annually is about $2, 461,000,000. The investigation* carried out by the Department of Agriculture indicate that at least half of this great wealth of fertilizing materials allow ed to go to waste. We wonder if our farmers have ever stopped to think that every year, they are throwing away plant food to the value of more than $1, 000,000,000 and doing that when nitrate of soda costs them $100 per ton, when it can be had at any price and acid phosphate costing more than it ever has in the history of its use? Of this $1,200,000,000 worth of fer tilizing material which is beng al lowed to run off in the creeks and rivers, Virginia loses two and one half millions worth. Think of it! This State, with a little care in conserving manure, which is now wasting on the farms, could become two and one half million dollars richer every year. If additional taxes to that amount were placed upon our people for in ternal improvement or the education of our children, what a howl would go up over every hillside and valley? Yet, the same people quietly allow that amount to go to waste when it could be saved with very little effort. This manure could be easily saved by piling it under cover during the winter months and hauling it out in the spring on to the land intended for summer crops. Large quantities could be utilized during winter for top dressing the wheat, oats and rye crop and the meadows. If no sfied is available, the best method of keeping it in the open is by piling it in a compact pile with nearly perpendicular sides. The pile should be left flat on top so that it will absorb the rain water rather than allow it to run off. This not only lessens the amount of leaching, but helps keep the manure moist, and thus reduces the fermentation. Where it is necessary to stor? largo quantities of manure in the open, it will often be found profitable to construct a concrete manure pit or floor, having raised edges, where all the kachings from the manure pile can be saved. Any farmer can find some way to save all his manure, and it is just as im portant as saving the wheat and corn crops. ? Southern Planter. Gird Up Thy Loins. "He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face; keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightly ? Nahum 2: 1. The people of the United States may well take to themselves the words of the prophet, uttered some thousands of years agto. President Wilson's message to congress last week is an elaboration of Nahum's ad monition, an application of it to the conditions which are confrontng the United States. If there are any who are still un able to understand why we are at war, it is because they will not understand, in his message, President Wilson has spoken for r'ght-thinking people thru out the wot'd. "He that dasheth in pieces" is before us, and he must be driven back, beaten down, rendered powerless to repeat the frightful things he has done. As President Wil son put it: "This intolerable Thing of which the masters of Germany have shown us the ugly face, this menace of com bined intrigue and force which we now see so lcearly as the German power, a Thing without conscience or honor or capacity for covenanted peace, must be crushed, and if it be not utterly brought to and end, at least shut out from the friendly in tercourse of the nations; and when this Thing and its power are indeed defeated, and the time comes when we can discuss peace ? when the Ger man people have spokesmen whose word we can believe, and when those spokesmen are ready in the name of their people to accept the common judgment of the nations as to what shall henceforth be the basis of law and cf covenant for the life of the world ? we shall be willing and glad to pay the full price for peace and pay it ungrudgingly. "We know what that price will be. It will be full, impartial justice ? jus tice done at every point and to every nation; the final settlement must af fect our enemies as well as our friends." ' Farther on he says: " The peace we make must deliver the once fair lands and happy peoples of Belgium and Northern France from the Prussian conquest and the Prussian menace, but it must also de liver the peoples of Austria-Hungary, the peoples of the Balkans, and the peoples of Turkey, alike in Europe and and in Asia, from the impudent and alien domination of the Prussian mil itary and commercial autocracy." In this message the president has snoken the mind of the American peo ple. As time has gone on, it has be come more and more plain that there can bo no peace until Germany it beat en, until the god of war is dethroned, until the things the German people ha\e been fighting for are made im possible. Belgium, France, Roumania, Poland must be restored, and full rep aration must be made. Germany's domination over Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey must cease. Ger many must be rendered poworlesa to at-ain precipiate such a horror as we have witnessed for three years past. There was a time when these things might have been accomplished by di plomacy. There was a time when, had the United States been aroused to the danger which was so evident to many of her people, the forces of righteoubness and fair play in these other cju tries might have been in voked ag. Inst the common enemy. That time has gone by. The voice of the visionary was more potent than the voice of common sense. The blind ones were permitted to lead our way. And now we must pay in blood and treasure. The force of arms is the only way left. Germany must be beat en on the western front by the blows of mighty men who are willing to sac rifice themselves to make future gen erations free. Having made plain our purpose, the president calls upon the nation to de vote its energies to the war. We must organize ourselves to fight hard and long, for German ideals will die hard. We don't know how long; it may be one year, or it may be ten years. The one thing which is perfectly clear is that there can be no real peace, no peace worth wh )e, until our victory is won. The time f*>r prf.umcnt is gone by; the time for set ion is here. Future dis cussion should consider ,not whether we shall fight, but how we can best fight. The spirit of President Wilson's message must be the dominant spirit of our people. ? Wallace's Farmer. What Andrew Carnegie Told Me. Something like fifteen years ago I received a telegram frcm a southern newspaper asking me to interview Andrew Carnegie. On^ thing Mr. Car negie said that day did not get into the printed interview. It "had to do with the magic of the iron-master's life ? the very turning-point in his al most fabulous career. "When I was a telegraph messen ger boy dawn there in Pittsburg," said Mr. Carnegie, "earning br.t a trifling sum of money a week, the newspaper reporters would cc me every night to the telegraph office to copy dispatches. We had no associated press in those days, and the local pa pers would have to send their men to make duplicates of a limited kind of news service that would come in from other points of the country. I think I averaged about $2.50 a week from the pockets of those jolly, spendthrift re porters, who always impressed me with the idea that a dollar was made only to be spent with kingly disregard of its value. "Weil, that $2.50 each week irom the leporters I put aside. Small as my income was, my mother and I man aged to live on it. Anyhow I saved the money I got from the reporters for copying their dispatches, and when I had laid :.side around $200 I invested in a small lot of real estate, borrow ing the other money to build a heme. "Thai was the turning-point in my life. Th.it was the time Andrew Car negie the messenger became Andrew Carnegie: the investor. Of all the things I have ever done in my life, that was the greatest. If I were called upon today to explain how I came to possess a surplu of wealth,* I would say ? by purchasing real estate with money some news paper reporters threw away, as part payment, and going in debt for the rest. Debt stim ulates any honest man to his fullest strength of endeavor. Real estate is the best investment for a young man. Let him look at the soil and s ly to himself: 'It is mine.' "No man will ever know the feelings of infinite delight that came to the heart of Andrew Carnegie when, as a mere lad, he would go to the build ing and loan people and make pay ments cn that little piece of real es tate in Pittsburgh, and when, finally the debt had been paid and young Car negie had a home for himself and mother, the happiest moment cf his life had come." "Then your advice to young men, Mr. Carnegie, would be ? " "Read books and buy land!" ? Rein son Crawford in Every Week. Chicago statistics for the year show the commission of 14,000 burglaries, 20 payroll robberies, ten bank robber ies and a totalized thievery aggrega ting $2,000,000. Murders and other forms of Chicago activtity are not mentioned, but in that respect Chicago kept up with her record and also had the time to chew the rag about some occasional bit of deviltry in the South. ? Wilmington Star. From the Chestnut Tree. "My wife was to meet me down today and didn't." "Maybe it's a meetless day for her." ? Exchange. The Value of Graham Bread. During these war times when we are called upon to save in every con ceivable way and to conserve all our resources, we think it is timely to call our readers' attention to the whole someness and value of the whole wheat bread. Fads are working the destruction of the human race, and no fad has done more real injury to the health of the people than this white flour. What real difference should it make if flour is black instead of white? Do not take our word for it, but have some of the whole wheat ground into flour. Have some batter cakes made and eat with good syrup, or make some brown biscuits of it, put some jelly inside of them and eat while you drink a glass of cool, sweet milk, and see if you ever had anything better, cheaper, or more wholesome. ? Southern Cultivator. BOSCHEE'S GERMAN SYRUP. Why use ordinary cough remedies, when Boschee's German Syrup has been used so successfully for fifty-one years in all parts of the United States for coughs, bronchitis, colds settled in the throat, especially lung troubles. It gives the patient a good night's rest, free from coughing, with easy expectoration in the morning, gives nature a chance to soothe the inflam ed parts, throw off the disease, help ing the patient to regain his health. 25 and 75 cent bottles.
