Occasionally he goes to St. David and Yap to look over his plants and his garrison, but does not slay there much any more.

Almost every farmer will acknowledg that them is a difference in manure tit has always been kept under cover an that which has been allowed to lie 1 more or less loosely constructed pile to the open yard where every rain an snow falls freely upon it. That the termer is the gest, and the latter is "burnt out" and less valuable as a ma- nure, all must agree. Ilowever the mere fact is not In many cases enough tc convince them that open yard stor- age should never bo had. While they do not dispute the fact that the one 's much better Than the other and In a way do realize that thee Is some differ- ence, they do not dee' ;t of sufficient importance to he sure end see that it l: either kept under cover or applied direct to the sell as soon as produced. For this reason many continue to allow much of their annual manure crop Io waste away by leaching. The difference in the value of mnunre handfed by these two methods amounts to about 60 per cent.. That La, manure which la thrown out hi piles In the open yard. by spring has lost one-hnlf or more of its fertil- izing value. It has given It up to the air and to the rain and snow that has passed over and through It as it lay In the pile. Then, when It is applied to • the soil before plowing in the spring. is 11 any wonder that the best results are not realized? Manure that Is loosely piled is bound to ferment and by so doing great quan- titles of ammonia are completely lost. Firm pecking will, to a considerable ex- tent prevent this escape of ammonia anal In that way help to preserve the food of manure. Thus we sed the ad- vantages of a covered stable or yard wherein the maunre may accumulate with little actual loss. Such storage 's all right where direct application to the soil cannot be had, the trampling of the stock packing it so web that there is no air adinitted, and, consequently, there is "no escape of fertilizing matter. The stock Ls no worse for standing on the layer of manure of considerable deplfi. provided they are kept well bedded with fresh straw and stable litter. Personally, we prefer the direct ap- plication plan wherever visible and es- pecially where a spreader may be used (pr the work. 1l is our practice to haul I the maunre as fast as It is made to the field where we wish It used. We\tic this with a manure spreader. and the plan works to perfection. We do not only keep the stables cleaned out every day and have no unlAghtly and wasteful. manure piles about the yards, but also get the greatest possible value from the maunre in the form of ferUllz- er. The spreader greatly reduces the labor and expense of hauling, and at the same time places it upon the soil in condition to give the very best results. 11 Is all finely and. evenly distributed over the surtaoe, going twice or three times as tar es when Itandspread, and right where all the plants can use it, for it cannot help Mut he thoroughly nixed through the soil after subsequent cultivation. We use practically all our mnunre as top dressing, much of it going out on grass and clover lands during the winter. Our summer manure crop—and being In the dairy httslness, and depending more u n soiling crops than pasture for the herd, we have quite a Targe one - we handle the same way, usually plac- ing upon ground used for soiling pur- poses. In this way these crops are well provided for as far as fertilization goes and we endeavor to supply the other elements of good culture, In about The sante proportion. cool. cannot be mads so thoroughly plastic as when completed at its firstfinish. Butter failing to come quickly Is of- ten due to a difference In temperature: using a good thermometer will avoid unnecessary trouble. One advantage with the separator Is, that it enables the dairyman to secure more cream from the milk and also more butter from the cream. As "hay Is made when the sun shines.' st is money Increased to that dairyman who managed so that his cows yield at milk abundantly when dairy prices art d high. n Some dairymen seem to forget that s the amount of pull! on a pound o1 but- t ler often depends as much on reducing the cost of production as in obtaining an enchanted price. When a cow is in full milk and full flesh. she will give her normal quo•-tv of milk for at least a limited time, even though the quality and puantily of food ba very deficient. The work of making butter is leas' when all the conditions for making the tuner are Just right. It Is easier. there- fore, to make good butter than had be- cause good butter is always produced when conditions are just right. INCOMF. OF $133 PER COW.

Onions to keep well roust be perfe:t- ly cured and dried, with top and root perished away. They will keep best in a dry, cool room, safe from freezing. or, when once slightly frozen, by belnr kept frozen. Never put in barrels, c r in deep boxes or bins. Shallow, opal crates are all right. If you have sone - dry room, not much subjected to sues den changes of temperature, it may be utilized for storing onions. Spread them on the floor six or eight inches deep. leave them there until frozen. then cover with straw or similar materi- al. and keep them frozen. Do not handle until they havo gradually thawed out again. REASON FOR LOW BIRTH RATE. Desire for Great Comfort. Not Poverty. the Principal Cause. Dr. Arthur Newsholme, Medical Offi- cer of Health of Brighton, England, and Dr. T. II. C. Stevenson, Assistant Medi- cal Officer to the Education Committee of the London County Council, are tak- ing the greatest Interest in the subject of the declining birth rate. They have prepared a joint paper in which two main Thesis are advanced that the In- habitants of the United Kingdom and other civilized countries are markedly Less fertile than was the cause but a few years ago. and that this slate of affairs Is due to other than natural causes. "Praire," said the joint authors, "hos anticipated the rest of the world, and has thus come near the consummation of Its social fel-do-se. But It is only a question of decades, in the absence of n great change in the moral standpoint of the majority of the people, before other countries follow In tate same direction. possibly even at the same pace. The outlook Is gloomy. and we cannot look with confidence to tate help which is i;kely to come e'lher from preaching of meets -id neiching." For tie purpn•+e of compnrlson tic birth rates of Sweden is taken as the standard of a,H of the European coun trica. in that comparison the only cnunlry showing a stationary birth rate tx Austria. Taking the countries as n whole. however, the joint authors con- clude that there cannel be any direct re lalionship either in 1881 or In 1902-3 be- tween the degree of nallonal pmsperlty and the Huth rale. Norway and ire lund. both relatively poor countries, have n high birth rate, but Bavaria end France which are relatively more pros- perous. have one n high and the other n Iov birth rale. The authors conclude Itint It Is by no means° certain that chil- dren would be better reared because lea numerous. 'Ith the decrensinee birth rate In England and Wales there had been no reduction of infant mor- tality. The whole field nt collected filets seemed to lead In the conelnsinn that the decline of the birth rale was not due to Inereascd poverty, but was nsso- r atee t 1 with '' et n C 1 raising i of t standard of vernier!. and it was nn ex. gression of the determination of the people to secure this great comfort.

Consumption Q There is no specific for consumption. Fresh air, ex- ercise, nourishing food and Scott's Emulsion will come pretty near curing it, if there u anythingto build on. Mil- lions of people throughout the world are livingand in good health on one lung. q From time immemorial the doctors prescribed cod liver oil for consumption. Of course the patient could not take it in its old form, hence it did very tittle good. They can take SCOTT'S EMULSION and tolerate it for a long time. There is no oil, not excepting butter, so easily digested and absorbed by the system as cod liver oil in the form of Scott's Emulsion, and that is the reason it is so helpful in consumption wive its use must be continuous.
