It has bjr far greatier value than th« plant foods it eontaina indicate and if thia other value were fully anderatood and tzn- ly appreciated more attention would be eiven to it. Unless a soil is made a suitable place for bacteria ^.o live, it wUl not be a fertile soil, and noth- big else seems to auit the fmndly and hdpful bacteria to live and thrive and work for the fanner quite so well aa a well-drained soil well siippUed with stable menure. Men like uar- n^e and Eoekefeller did not accu mulate their large fortuoies from thair own efforts aloi^. • got others to woric for them. It ia the same way throughoat «U human endeavor; ^ man «iio can bring most of the resources of nature to work for him succeeds best. Why should we not do more to encourage friendly soil bacteria to work for us by ^ving them the kind of food and home they like best? They are our greatest aid might at least give them someshrdlu in soil building and it seems might at least give them some en- behalf. Nothing ttlso will give them couragement in their efforts in our the encouragement Uiey need like a Zood application of atable manure. • * • Thera is little doubt but the best way to handle stable manure is t6 put it on the land as soon as it is made, when that is practical. It is true, however, that there are times when the land is so wet and soft that tiia manure cannot be put on tlie land ^ere wanted. This is the case very frequently, and still there is prac tically no winter when there are not opportunities to put the manure out in the inclination to do so is strong en>ugh. The truth of the =iatter is we have not appreciated the extreme ly high value of stable manure and consequently have allowed it to fire- fang and leach and waste in the barn yard until it became convenient to haul it ouL Some appear to have a great dread of stable insure, or the plant fooao iv contains, leching from the soil if put out during the winter as made, but these plant foods ar« not nearly so likely to be lost by leaching: from the soil its they are by leachiiig from the lots which are iroquently expos ed to rains and situat^ so that the drainage flows into ditches and the streams to be completely lost to the farm. It is true that a growing crop makes the best place for holding the soluble parts of the stable manure, but if this is not available the ma nure is better put on freshly broken soil, or disked into the top soil, or even put on the unbroken fields than left where, after every rain, the sol uble parts are drained oil into the ditches and lost. If the drainage from the barn lots was directed onto ter then the usual condition when af- the cultivated lands this would be bet ter each rain dark coffee-colored streams are seen running from the lots into .learby streams. But as a rule the sooner thu manure is put on the land after it is made the more gooii is obtained from it. If those who u^e cottonseed meal for feeding eot.id once be made to fully and truly realize that the ma nure—solid and liquid—contains ap proximately 90 per cent, of the plant foods originally in the meal and that this amocints to a value of between $26 and $30 a ton at the usual prices for fertilizers, they would surely take more trouble to save this manure. Why is it that many cattlemen will scheme and dicker—and some of them even indulge in misrepresenta tions—^to make a dollar or two in the 3ale of a cow and then treat so care lessly the stable matture of much greater value than ia made by this aame cow? lliis is the season when stable ma tte " wiMil tt ia thoogtt it ia ttot the iaoaed. If we grev wo** «ov«r i tibMM wogld alw«ya b« * good piaee fur the steUe u it is ande. * • • There ia a niataken ides that lU- ble ia*hure must ferment or ret in the bain, lot or compoat heaip before it Is safe or desirable to put it cn the land. Of eouTM, i^Mn laaiuire la treated in thia way, the plant food* which are not lost are in better con dition to immediately feed the crops, but it is ^so true that half of its value is frequently lost by such treat ment before it reaches the land. It is also true that if a very large quan tity of manure is put into the soil before it lias rotted the cobtm bulk.' nature of the manure man cause the y ■ « Htnrt XiO %wy crops suffer from lack of moisture. But all do not make it d««iiaMe to run the risk of lass in the bm Iota or justifying the labor of jeom- posting as a general practice. Most good is obtaiiied firom stable manure the sooner it is got on t^ land, siin- ply becaiiM th^ is less opportunity, for loss of plant foods. iac tha wlotar ia by tiM laqee eattle in those aeetieBS «h«M tta law ia enfn«ad acalna thep neUM is the smnmer, hot i|paur«d is th* wlstsr. We dui Imagina aoihlBC mw* ah' surd to compel ttyb ooatrd of livestod^ for a part of the ifear and idlow it to run at Isrte at MMtther seaaon. It means a sactiflee of the benefits from both stock Uw aad free rMige and loaves the evils of b^ largely in effect. The growing of two crops a year is the greateet agrienl- tural aaset posaessed by the South, but so long as livestock are allowed to run at large daring the winter, in a section which does not har« fences to protect its crop3, this great luivan- tage which' we hold over other sec tions farther north can never be rs- Livestock Should Be CmtroUed the Year Booad. A Kentucky reader who has notic ed our advocacy of the “stock law” seems to have a ntiscopcention of what is meant by the "stock law" throughout the South. But he makes a good poiiit wisen he states that 'At South will never be a great livestock country without fences. He might have gone further and stated that the best system of agriculture, where tiie most effective rotations are practice] and where he feed products are used to the best advantage, is impossible without fences. The Progressive Farmer favors a stock law that compels every man who owns stock to take care of it and to prevent it eating the feeds and tramping the lr.nd3 of his neighbors. We do not thing any man should be compelled to build fences to protect liis crops that grow on his own land and stay there, but if he does the best farming he will fence htess crops to keep his own stock in rather than to keep his neighbors' out. It may be a long time in the fu ture when all cultivated fields in the ; South will be fenced, but it will come in time, betause only in this way can the best farming be done. In the meantime we favor the leaser ex pense, that of fencing the livestock in, wherever there in any considerable land in cultivation. This view Is be coming so generally accepted that in a short time practically no livestock will be allowed to run at large during the summer. The most remarkable fact connect ed with the control of livestock in the South is ths custom of allowing it to run at laarge daring the late fall and winter months, veen in those sec tions having a law requiring the gen eral control of livestock. This cus tom has become sc well established in some sections that an attempt «o L..i;oFce the law against it meets with the same popular opposition that the enforcement of this law during the suinmer has caused in many sections, when attempted for the first tirae. We believe all the year round free range is preferable to the free rang ing of live-stock in the winter only. With free range of livestock all the year the cultivated fields are protect ed by fences, winter crops may be grown and the land escapes the in jurious tramping it receives in those sections where the livestock is only allowed to run at large during the winter. The man who is so shiftless that he will not prpovide feed for his livel stock during the winter deserves no consideration. He is not treating his livestock humanely and in the best manner for his own good, and if forc ed to provide winter feed for his ani mals he would be better off in every way. But false sympathy for the poor man has been used by the large cat tle owners in some sections as a shield to cover their own selfish ends. In HiUtaats IHed to Eiad Cahiaet Xcet- ■ '. ***•' : London, Jan. 28.—Militai^ suffra gettes toi^y made a bold attempt to break into a meeting of tjh« British cabinet councO, sitting at the official residence Of Premier Asquith, in Downing street. An automobile belonging to the Wo men’s Social and Political Union, with a woman chauffeur at the wheel and filled with suffragettes, washed into Downing street before police station ed outeide the Asquith residence re alized what was going on. When the women were arraigned the jwlice order to retire from the street the entire party of women was placed under arrest and taken in thw ear to Scotland Yard. The wooien’s automobile was decorated wi^ plac ards proteisting gainst the forcible feeding of suffragette prisoners and demanding that the cabinet cease the **tcrtsri5 of wcsseii m uiaghaiu jaila.'* When the women Were rarsighed three of them refused to give their names and were entered in the charge hook under numbers. The only one who had acted as driver said she was Miss Virtue and was the private sec retary of “General” Mrs. Flora Drum mond, a prominent suffragist. Miss Virtue is said to be engaged to marry a Montana rancher as soon as the wo man bave secured the vote in Great Britain. Conspirators Arrested. Hszico City, Jan. 2&—Police au thorities say they have broken up a conspiracy which had for its object the overthrow of the administration. Several prominent Mexicans, includ ing Col. Vito Alessio Robies, are among those arrested. It i» alieged that General Eugenio Saison,. Mili tary Governor of Oasaea and General Ferruuido Gonzales were in some way involved in the plot. They, however, have not been placed under arrest. Ceapata forces in the State of More los simultaneously attacked seven smaller towns today. They weie re pulsed in all but two.

WILSON. Charged With Wife Murder. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 26.—Two minutes in court, the time required to arr&ign the prisoner, started to day what ia expected to be a long legal battle for the life of John Gron- din, chemist and undertaker, charg ed wilh them urder of his wife. Zelia, under the guise of suicide. Grondi?s preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 3. Attorneys say the case will be a struggle between contradictory hand writing experts who have examined the “suicide note” which Grondin al leged his wife wrote to him just”be- fore she inhaled gas and died last October. Mrs. Grondin was found in her room with a box over her head and a gas tube inserted under it. Grondin has been under surveillance since and arrested when the district attorney announced that poison had been found in Mrs. Grondin’s body, which was exhumed today. •6B KGHUJRIT SuSSSS •f anaaglag tte details for OMh and! ev«sy taweral entruvt- ed to oat care leaves with Hwm upss whoa w« wait a •wltag of eeafideace and sat- MwMon tiiat the last oflbae w«M ipaifenaed with such p«r- Inrt harmony as, to greatly los.^ sea the sadnoss eonsected wiA saeh an eveat.
