Walt For ller Boys!
The girl who is unkind to her
mother isnt worth a tinker's doggone
This isn't written in my part of the
Bible, but it's written in the history
of thousands and thousands of misfit
homes. If one of you boys ever run
across a girl with her face full of
roses; with eyes t^hr would dim the
lustre of a Colorado sky an4 with a
voice that would make the song of an
.angel seem discordant, and she says,
as she comes to the door!
"I can't go for a few minutes I've
got to help, mother with the dishes."
'Don't give her up. Stick to her like
a burr to a mule's tail. Just sit down
on the door steps and wait. If she
joins you in two or .three minutes, so
mtich the better; but if you have to
stay there on the door step for a half
hour, or an hour, you just wait for
her. If you don't somebody else will
and in the time youll be sorry. For
you'll realir*-what you have lost
Wait for her. boy. She's worth it
Slek Two Tears With Indigestion.
"Two years ago I was greatly bene- I

Indigestion." Sold by ALL DEALERS. ?
Every time a girl meanders down
the street leading a frolicsome dog by
a string the old baldheads in this
town begin to exercise the rubber in
their necks. At the dog, of course.

Manure -Wu>ted Each Vear Woulfl
About Pa) Varment* Taxes
"There 1? so much to agriculture
-which ne~aa ftyt understand. apd so
touch that we jgnore. that we cannot
uftord to ignore that part which ilo
understand."
For Instance. It is only lately that
we have come to appreciate what soil
is.tuadc of and how grains and plants
manage to live and how. We know
now that we must feed the roots of
growing crops just as we Iced growing
calves, and with about as much care.
Without going deeply in.o chemistry
of this food supply, we have learned
that the plant bill of fikre eonstst?
mainly of three thiugs. namely: Ni
trogen. phosphoric acid an'd potash.
Where these foods are easily available
we have good crops; where they aro
absent, or locked up In dry, heavy
earth, the plant starves.
Experience has taught us further
that we can set the table, from which
the planu will get their sustenance. ^
in two ways?either by buying their
food by the pound or by saving for
them our barnyard manure. Modern
chemistry has proved that for this
purpose half ton of fresh horse ma
nure contains five pounds of nitrogen
three and a half pounds of phosphoric
acid; and a simlliar amount of cow
manure cpntalns three pounds of nitro
gen and two and a half pounds of
phosphoric acid. This includes both
the liquid and the solid manures. In
fact, the liquid manure is the more
important of the two. Great care
should be taken so that the main point
of it can be saved.
The easier the farmer makes it for
his growing plants to gather this food,
the better crops he can promise him
self. He fattens his wheat crop, and
his other crops, just as surely as he
fattens his steers. It. in thus fat
tening his corn fields, he goes to the
store and buys nitrogen at 15 cents
per pound, and phosphoric acid and
potash both at 5 cents per pound, he
will find that the horse manure In
his own barnyard of this basis, if
properly conserved and properly
spread is worth $2.21 per ton. hU
cow manure. *2.02 per ton; and his
pig manure $2.29 per ton.
It seems, thus that saving the. pro
duct of the stable lowers the high cost
of plant living considerably, when we
consider that twenty 1.000 pound iows j
will give oneh undred and forty-six j
tons of manure In six months. To be
stri2? ly 4'f curate in the cash value of
a product, generally considered a little
better than worthless, for every 1.000
pounds weight of stock, whether horse
:c?r. or swine, the manure each year
is wf.rtlj.frqm a horse ?87.74, from a
cow Ii??7. and from that weight of
hufcs $6o.00.
That is however, if 1t is saved right
and used right. It has been estimated
that the way manure is handled bythe
fariM-'io of this country that almost
enough is wasted each year to pay the
taxes of all the farm lands in the
United States.
There are two main leaks or aven
ues of dissipation in connection with
this food supply of plants?first, at the
stable, and second tn the field. Just
as one can ruin an other wis good hay
crop by not handling it right, so one.
can damage a good manure crop.
Manure is at its best when freah and
is sensitive to several demoralizing
influences. 'It cannot stand rain be
cause water leaches the best part of It
away : It cannot stand drjm^ss because
it ferments and the nitrogen evapor
ates; In fact. It cannot stand at all.
Fresh manure should be spread fresh.
The manure found in the barnyard
in the spring or that found in little
heaps in the field Is only about half as
ngnnrr rur plant fuotfHPTlW a*OV OiF
nure would have been had it been
j pitched 011 u spreader from the,stable
! and scattered over the land as soon as
| the load was complete.
j?Next to spreading tt rreah, the Tm^
porlant thing is to spread it finely
pulverized and to j*4>c?ad it evenly
j This must be done with a mecliau
| ical pulverizer, because the hand that
I wields the fork from the wagon top
' can do 110' more than scatter it in
! chunks, t
So important is the manner of
; s-preai.iug manure essential to its
[ preservation that the University of
j Wisconsin in bulletin No .221 claipis
j tliat it is advisable to apply the ma
nure to a held as soon as it is made.
Even winter spreading is worth white.
It is equally vehement in regard to
pulverization. "To make itself worth
while, manure must come in contact
with the roots of the growing plants.
To do this it must be thoroughly pul
verized an,d evenly spread. The prac
tice of applying the manure directly
after plowing, and thoroughly incor
portant it with the soil by the use of
a disk harrow or cultivator (s a good
one."
Handling it by hand in the farm
wagon and haldling it with a spreader
is another story. The amount of labor
saved is one chapter of this story, the
amount of money saved is another,
and the increased bountifulness of
the crops is a third.
Everywhere it la acknowledged that
the spreader is a dividend paying
investment, and it would seem that
with taxes to be paid, and other ex
penses coming along inevitably, tha*
greater ca.o would be taken to pre
serve in its entirely the full value of
the barnyard refuse.
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY

met.
F. R. Pleasants is one of the first
progressive concerns to offer for sale
the new system of medicine that is
fast supplying the use of old-fashioned ;
calomel as a liver medicine.
Nearly every one knows how easily
the liver becomes sluggish in this
climate and how this sluggishness
effects not only all the other physi
cal organs but the mind as well.
The signal towers of this dread
condition, which some call malaria
are coated tongue, lack of energy,
dull eyes constipation, shallow com
plexion.
* Taken with regularity this proven
scientific liquid vegetable medicine in
the form of CARSWELL'S LIVER

all liver troubles.
