Manure Pits Are Most Desirable To Retain Fertilizing Value to Greatest Extent It Is Best to Exclude Air. Manure pits or boxes are desirable for the temporary storage of manure, especially in towns and cities. These have been widely advocated, but the difficulty has been that manure often becomes infested before it is put into them, and tiles frequently bn 1 out before the boxes art- emptied and often escape through the «racks. To obviate these difficulties a manure box or pit, with a cone trap, attached, is desirable. In order to retain the fertilizing value of manure to the greatest extent It is advisable to exclude the air from it as much as possible and to protect It from the leading action f rains. It is not necessary nereforo. to cover a large part of the top of the box with a trap, but merely to have .holes large enough t at <ct 111*“' t'» the light, and to cover these holes with ordinal' .on: d r . t • legs cut oiT, so the bottom trap will lit closely to the box. - he same arrai.i.* nun -ai ' manure is , t a i< ; ' bins two or more holes overed with traps should b< pro-, hied for • ie es cape of the fl Make Bin of Concrete.

The nij) should be made of concrete. me bln may have a floor or It may be set In the ground several inches, and the dir- closely banked around the outside. For the admis< >n of the manure a good-sized door should be provided In either end <>f a large bin. A part of the top should be easily re movable for emptying the box, or one entire end may be hinged. On ac count of the danger of the door be ing left open fhrmigh carelessness, it Is advisable t- arrange a lift door which can be opened by phmln* the foot on o treadle as the manure Is shoveled In. The door should be heavy enough f close itse ' when tin tivadle Is released. Maggot Trap Described.

According to the United States De partment of Agriculture, the disease of baby chicks known us bacillary white diarrhea cannot be cured by any known method of medical treat ment, but It can be stamped out of a flock by other means. This disease is the most serious confronting most poultrymen during the spring mouths because most deaths a used by it occur within two weeks after the infected brood lots been atched. Usually only a few of an infected brood are left alive, and the>e are unlit for future breeding ]• i • <es, as they serve as carriers aim sources of future outbreaks. The malady Is so prevalent and destruc tive lu many sections of the country that various state** are taking active measures for its control.

Poultry’ With Dairying Is Profitable Practice Where farm dairying is practiced and butter supplied to the local mar ket. the raising of poultry combines nicely with the dairy industr\ and the i two go hand in hand in ;>!•:.-lining profit i from the farm.

Many of Food and Feed Necessities Profitable A plan that is suitable to many farmers who succeed Is to raise as many of the food and feed necessities as may he protitahle, estimating cost of production, and then grow a crop or two, or a few animals for cash. Such a plan will enable the farm man ager to meet his obligations for hath present and future, better than di versifying merely to live or for money without <>i -1 ierlng cash as well as food and feed. The money crop Is very important and care should be taken to plan wise ly for the cash. Farmers must have cash as wo'! as food for their fnmi.ies anti feed f*»r stock. Examine the Bees.

Now that the spring suit or wrap with Its accompanying fnjgk has be come an actuality, one is free to turn the attention to the delightful acces sories which do so much to add chic to the general appearance. Jewelry Is particularly attractive this spring, pearls being in great de mand, from the long 54-inch strand to the one which fits closely about the throat and which Is fashioned of quite large beads. The long strands usually are made of pearls of the same size, while the shorter lengths are gradu ated. These long strings often are worn knotted or doubled about the neck. The vogue for the short pearl string Is due to a great extent to the Influence <>f the Second Empire modes. Pictures of the fashionable beauties of - that day—Eugenie was one of the most famous show them wear ing Just such short strings of lustrous pearls. Tassel pearl earrings are smart.

It is of the soft est mole, with inserts of Russian chip bordered In fur are a Mnnrt note of the season, while gypsy-like bandana turbans are shown to accompany bath ing suits of satin or crepe. Veils play an Important part In the smart spring toilette. They may be long or draping, coming down upon the shoulders. Or they may fall from the lint brim, partly concealing the eyes. Sometimes they are semi-circu lar in shape, then again they are long and senrf-like; in either case they are embroidered in silk, chenille or wool, the embellishment usually forming a color contrast with the veil Itself. For several seasons past, especially since the advent of the loose sleeve, gloves have been a prominent note of the costume. This spring they are of unusual interest, color contrasts be ing an outstanding feature. Insets, strappings, embroideries, fancy stitch ings and facings are the manner In which this effect Is carried out. The long eight, twelve and sixteen-button length glove Is a favorite, while the gauntlet and the two-clasp model are also in vogue. As to the smart glove shades, white is exceptionally good ns It goes well with tlie peculiar greens which are featured this spring. Beige, the dif ferent tones of grnv, mode, champaign and bisque are other desired shades. Effective Background for Use of Gay Ribbon Ribbons, being as symbolic of spring and summer ns flowers and fruit, are being combined gracefully on the spring and summer hat. The ever popular, wide-brimmed hats of lat ticed straw are an effective back ground for the use of ribbons. Red ribbon may be wound in and out of the Interstices, culminating in c bunch of red cherries just at the end of the crown under the brim Or violet shaded ribbon combined with a cluster of purple grapes is bright and gay for the summer girl. Many Use Gay Ribbon to Remake Old Frock* Hen Hur is said to have been fond of ribbons and to have appreciated ' their beauty. He had them streaming fmm his chariot; Ills white horses wore them In their manes and tails. Mule scoffers of today wear ribbon watch fobs, ribbon edging on their eve ning suits, ribbon hut bands and bows and ribbon sautoir* for their glasses, sometimes their pencils or fountain pens. Not to mention the little bow of ribbon inside every man’s hat. And think of the ribbons and ribbons that the boys who fought in the World war won from our own as well as from al lied countries. As to conventions ami large gatherings where identification is necessary or wise, look at the Mary's dress was old. She had worn It last year. Yes, the year before last. And Mary was tired of that one good dress. She had little money, an eye for the beautiful, and she longed with all her girlish heart for the new dress she knew she couldn't have. Every night when she had tucked herself into bed she lay and wished for a new dress and then, being a sensible Mary, she tried to decide how to make the old one new. At last she was re warded for her efforts, for on her way home from work she saw beautiful rib bons displayed In one of the store windows. Ribbons tied into the most Switching bows! “I'll make it over with a new -oh, such a beautiful new sash,” she decided, “with a bustle bow sash." And she did.

For the humble it provided warmth and was their only means of cooking; for the dwellers in more palatial resi dences it was the center of both do mestic and social life. So the fireplace of today has its significance in the home, and should have fittings as ar tistic ns any other corner of the house. There Is wide choice iu andirons, screens, grates and fire Irons, for they may be had in varied finishes—plain black, blight, rubbed <>r antique brass, brass and black, antique gray or old English finish, and tlifs variety assures the harmony of fireplace fittings with the other furnishments of the room. Use Soap and Water to Clean Lacquered Bras* Lacquered brass should never be cleaned with metal polish or paste of any kind. Rub it up with a leather, or if the brass Is much so lied'•wash it with soap and warm water, dry with a soft cloth, and polish with a leather. Never use soda in the water as it re moves the lacquer, but the brass may be washed with a sponge wrung out In vinegar and water. Should the lacquer wear off and leave brown patches, the only thing to do is to relaequer it. Should the article lie solid brass this is an eusy mutter. First boil the brass In hot soda water, dry in sawdust, then polish with any good metal polish. Spring Decrees Printed Silks Are to Be Mode •’Have you bought your printed silk frock?” may easily be the question of the spring season. For spring it is whispered, won’t mention printed silks merely as part of milady’s wardrobe. It decrees a season dominated by prints an there's no more argument. There couldn’t be because the printed fabrics are so lovely you would never care to r cl further.

The War System and the Gospel of Jesus Christ Diametrically Opposed WORLD ALLIANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP. J he church '»/ Christ was severely blamed for the occurrence of the last war. rJ hat the gospel should have been so long on earth and vet should not have prevented the great catastrophe with all its hideous cruelty and suffering was a charge against the church so serious that all thought ful ministers felt its force and were driven defensively to meet it. Even more will another war bring down upon the church of Christ the charge of moral cowardice and fatal inefficiency. We therefore urge all the people of the churches, and all ministers in particular, to an outspoken declaration that the war system and the gospel of Jesus Christ are diametrically and irreconcilably opposed. W'e urge that without delay this crisis of decision between war and Christ be unmistakably recognized and stated. W'e would have every Christian church the center of a frank and courageous antagonism to war and everything that makes war, until in our own country and in all lands we succeed in reinstating Christian loyalty to Christ where it belongs—far above all local prejudice, racial hatred and divisive nationalism.
