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.

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.
