PERMLINTAT.ION IN MANURE.
The nature And extent of. fermenta-
tion in manure is eovernett largely bY
the eompoeltion of the manure, more
pertieularly upon the 111110Ura o 111.1.1.••
Ken in n. seluble form which it contains.
The mere soluble nitrogen, the nOre
apid the fermentation, Urine is rich
in soluble In't1Oge11008 COMPOUlubl• and
consequently uecompoges rapidly.
Manure decreases rapidly in bulk by
fernieni talon. The coarse materialare
gradually decomposed, and are dissolved
to a lame extent, in the black liquid
which oozes out of the manure pile,
Vroperly controlled, fermentation Is a
viduable manner or inereasiag the avail-
ability of the fertilizing constituents of
manure, although it decreases the bulk,
but \then not proeerly controlled It ser-
iously reduces the value of the manure.
LE.A.CHING UP MANURE.
Deterioration of manure is also caused
by leaeldng. Manure exposed to the ttc•
vett of the elements loses about one -halt
of its valuable fertilizing constituents in
tht . course of six months.
Solid eow dung, exposed to ordinary
lettehing for led days, aeording to an ex-
periment at the New Jersey Experi-
ment Station, lost 37.6 per cent. of Its
nitregen, 111.9 pee cent. of its phosphoric
acid and 47.1 per cent. of its potash.
Mixed dung mid urine lost during the
etene time 51 per eent. of its nitrogen.
61.1 per ceet, of its ehosphoric acid and
61.1 per cent. of its Potash. More than
one-half of the constituents in the total
animal manure product of the cow may
be lost by an exposure of less than four
months.
The -amount a litter required for any.
given animal depends largely upon tha
cbaracter of the food. A safe general
rule le that the litter should amount to
at mast one-third a the dry matter of
the food consumed. The following
amounts per day for different animals
Is about right: Sheep, three-fifths pound
of litter; cattle, 9 pounds; horses, 6 1-2
pounds.
It is not advisable, as a rule, to use
au excess of litter beyond that needed to
keep the animal clean and absorb the
liquid excrement, since the materials'
ava:lable for beading, are generally poor
in fertilizing constituents, and so extend
and dilute the Manure unnecessary.
METHODS OE APPLYING 1...1AxtriM,
Whether manure should he applied
fresh or rotten depends largely upon
the character of the soil. Where improve.
ment of the mechanical condition is the
main object sought, the best results will
be severed by applying fresh manure to
the heavy clay soils, anirwell-rotted. ma-
nure to the light soils. lf, however,
mompt salon of fertilizers is deeired,
In a favorable season light solle telizo
coarse nuenire to better advantage thee
do heavy soils. In heavy SOUS, decem-
position takes place slowly, and the eon-
istituents of the fresh manure becomes
available very slowly. On the other hand,
In light Soils, unless there is a. dry eon -
son, the decomposes readily, and the fee -
Meng tonstituents are probably len-
, <Med available as fast as the elant re-
quires them.
On clay soils it frequently happens
that manure produces no eftect et. all
during the firet year, on account of elow-
ness of decomposition, but as the clay
poesesses very powerful absorptive pre-
erties the manure is not lost. There
is, therefore, practically no danger of
loss in apply manure to clay soils a long
while In advance of planting time.
Fresh manure has a forcing effect and
tends to produce stems and leaves at the
expense of fruit and grain. It Is, there-
' fore, better for early garden truck,
grasses and forage plants than for cer-
eels or fruits.
Spreading* the manure and allowing; it
to Ile on the surface should be practiced
only on level fields where there is no
danger from surtace washing, There Is
no danger of a serious loss of ammonia
into the ale; where the manure is spread
broadcast and allowed to lie on the sur-
face. Experiments have proved that the
loss from this came is very small.
There can be no fixed rule as regards
the amount of manure to apply. About
17'to 18 tons per acre is an abundant ap-
plication, 14 tons good, and 8 to 9 light.
Twenty tons Is a frequent application in
New Jersey, as well as in other regions
where truck farming is practiced, and
still larger amounts are 'often used.
FA.Ral NEWS AND VIEWS,
The dairy dow often suffers the most
front exposure to the weather before real
winter has begun. After steady ' cold
conies the cow is generally stabled, Ex-
posure to cold. rains is often inore injur-
ious to the animal that the colder but
dry weather later in the winter. The
dairy cow is not like the fat steer, pro-
• tected from cold by a layer of fat. As
a result bad weather causes a big drop
in milk production, so long as the
weather is dry it is just as well to leave
the cow outside nights for some time,
but every cold rain should find her pro-
tected. The main thing in barns is to
have tight walls, so there is no draft or
wind .and a good roof. , Care should
be taken in arranging the stalls length
and a gutter of sufficient depth to hold
the manure. The cleanliness of the milk
depends to a, considerable.. extent upon
having the barn built so the cow will
keep herself clean.
Ounces of grease save dollars' in re-
pairs.
Tomato seed is good for three or four
years.

with perfeet drainage.

OLD VUBLIN,
Irish Capital Indissolubly Linked
With Country's History.
Whatever other good thing may be
said of Dublin, which has bulked so
large in the world's eye in the days
just past, it is beautiful for situation.
The sweep of Dublin bay and the rug-
ged outline of Howth head and Kings-
town harbor and Kinney hill have all
found many to speak well in their
praise. Like so many other Irish
cities, and indeed like, most old cities
the world over, Dublin, for its early
history, draws largely on tradition.
The men of Dublin appear suddenly
erom nowhere, ane they defeat the
men of Leinster. These is dogmatically
stated to have been the year...CD, 291.
They then return, tovered witli
achievement and filled with satisfac-
tion, into the un,known, and no more
is heard of them for about a, century
and a half. In the year 450, however,
they suddenly emerge again from ob-
scurity as converts to Christianity.
Thereafter, they have still a way of
retiring -on occasion into the unknown,
but the occasions are steadily more
rare and the periods shorter.
Then the Danes begin to be heard
of. For centuries they were a sore
trouble. In the ninth century they
attacked Dublin and took it, and in
843 Thokel, the Norseman, proclaim-
ed himself king, and established him-
self in great strength at .Armagh. The
Irish, however, never for long acqui-
esced in the situation. There was no
more peace in Ireland of those days
than there was in all the centuries
that followed, but it was not until the
year 1014 that the Trish rose to a su-
preme effort, In that year, however,
13rIan Boroihme, king of Munster, de-
termined to attack in Force, and.his
enterprese culminated in the famous
battle of Clontarc, in which Brian
himself fell and his son and many
thousands of his followers. The
Irish won the day, but the Danes re-
occupied Dublin, and ,the great back -
and -forth struggle went on again with
varying fortunes.
It was not, indeed, until the middle
or the twelfth century that the Danes
were finally driven out or the ,110111.1LE,y,
and then it was not by the Irish, but
by the Anglo -Normans. Strongbow had
by that time sailed from England and
landed on the banks of the Waterford
river. No weapon the Irish had could
pierce the coats of mail °fib's follow-
ers, and with the Danes, too, he car-
ried all before him. That was the
beginning of the Englesh conquest.
Henry II. landed at Waterford in 1172,
in great state.. He moved to Dublin,
and 'there held court in still greater
state. In a pavilion of wickerwork
he received the Irish chieftains with
much pomp and circifmstance, entered
into alliances with them, and so de-
parted. Dublin was now practically
a Norman 'city, and, all alliances and
agreements notwitnsta,nding, there
was no peace between the inhabitants
of the 'city and the native Irish of the
surrounding country. The slaughter

We'er Going to tI,
illtng a child
(With Apologies to Luke North.)
By Robert Bickerdike, M, P.
We're going to hang a child in Can-
ada—
Twelve men, a regular phyeician,
schooled jurist, and a Dominion /all
of righteous people have condemned
a little boy of sixteen. •
Whom the wisest on earth, its Sav-
iour, prophets and sages:, have re-
frained from judging; whom the
Central Figure of the 'era (In whose
name the nations are filled with
churches) admonished the world to
"Judge Not"—twelve men, a regular
physician, a schooled jurist, and a
Dominion full of righteous people
have not only judged but condemn-
ed a little boy of sixteen.
We're going to hang a child—
Not in passion's blinding mists, or
youth's high fever that riots through
distended veins and overthrows the
Inner God;
Not in lightning 'spur to lust of blood
—the quick flowering of atavistic
germ from cave to forest;
Not for a sudden clot that burst a
tiny vein and floods a lobe and
clouds the mental vision:
Not for flashing impact on the nerve
that reaches from the spleen and de -
throne's the clay's master.
We're going to hang a child—
To uphold the majesty of the law,
maintain the dignity of the country,
a little boy of sixteen, to prove that
Canada its a lawsabiding state;
Eight million people against a little
' boy of sixteen,
We will hang him to prove our cour-
age, our virtues, and our civilization.
And the church and state are approv-
ingly silent.
•
We're going to hang a little boy—
A jury, a doctor, and a "Daniel come
to judgment" have condemned a lit-
tle boy—read his heart, searched his
soul, pierced the secret chambers of
his mind, laid bare the human ego,
and found it all had.
A jury, a doctor of physics, and a
Daniel have measured the surging
impuses of hot youth, balanced the
force of impact and impulsion, read
the record of the motor brain areas --
And found the little boy sane and bad
—quite sane and all bad, and have
ordered him hanged.
We're going to hang a little boy—
Se bad boy. Why is he bad, because
he murdered? Then is he sane be-
cause he Murdered? Or did. he mur-
der because he was sane?
Did the doctor Measure the boy's san-
ity by his own? Would the doctor
do murder? Is it only fear of hang-
ing that keeps the doctor from ,mur-
dering?
Than the little boy was a braver sod.
If the doctor will consider why he
would not murder, he will reach a
truer measure of the little boy's san-
ity.
If the doctor has a better test of san-
ity than murder is, he is wiser than
God.
We're going to hang a little boy—
Unless the people or the Governor-
General intervenes.
Why are we going to hang the little
boy? To show that murder is
wrong?
But we aro going to murder him. Mur-
der means killing him, We are go-
ing to kill the little boy --we hope—
We kill to show that killing is wrong.
We are not only a brave people—
eight millions against one little boy;
we are ale° a sensible, rational, in-
telligent people.
If it is wrong to kill, why do We kill?
We're going to hang a ehild—
Sixteen years from God, Take hitt
back, God, he's bad, all bad, not fit
to live with the eight million inhab-
itants of Canada—
Murder is right; we are going to mur-
der a little boy. It's the little boy
that's bad, not murder,
Why is the little boy bad? Because
he is sane; if he Were test sate he
would not be bed and we Would not
hang hint.
Take him back aod--We reject him;
he% all bad—a bad boy not fit to live
with us.

My appetite was poor, I slept badly and
notwithstanding the dodoes treatment
grew so weak that I had to leave my

ily growing weaker, and my friends
were all greatly alatened by my con-
dition. In this condition 1 was strong-
ly recommended to try Dr. 'Williams'
Pink Pille, and as the doctor's medi-
cine was not helping me I decided te
do so. But the time I had used three
boxes I could, tell that they were help-
ing me. When 1 had taken eight boxes
of the pills I telt able to attend to my
business again, and people were sur-
prised to see me out. I continued the
use of the pills until I had taken
12 boxes, by which time I was feeling
as well as I ever did, and. was being
congratulated by all my friends on my
full restoration to health. I feel now
that if I had used Dr. "Willtame' Pink

have saved much money spent in doc-

health sooner. I Cannot speak too
highly of this medicine, and would

More Beans,
Less Meat
In these go-fiungry days there are
thousands of families who find It a
hard task to keep neeaful daily outlay
within the limit of slender daily in-
come. Do these families know
beans? To say "he doesn't know
beans" used to be a very common way
of describing an ignorant or stupid
fellow -mortal.
In these times of dear bread, dear
meat, dear potatoes and dear living it
may not be out of the i'ay to ask
whether the masses who are long of
appetite and short of cash "know
beans." Ninety per cent. of the dry
matter in common shelled beans is
digestible. The bean Is so rich in
starch and nutritious proteids that it
serves as a tolerable substitute for
meat, There are as hundred different
ways of cooking and serving the earl-
ous kinds of beans so as to make mot
palatable soups and solids. Why not
give this finest of the legumes a more
frequent plkcing in our daily menus?
Here follow some bean recipes:
CREAMED BEANS.
Those who are using beans as a
substitute for potatoes will find this
a delicious variation. Soak a pint of
beans in cold water overnight. In the
morning put them on .in enough
slightly salted water to "cover and let

one of flotir, pouring a ltraes cup of
,milk over and stirring Instil thick and
smooth. Mix the bean pulp thoroughly
with this sauce. Lastly, add two Well -
beaten eggs, pepper and salt to taste.
Beat all hard for a moment, turn into
buttered pudding dish, sprinkle fine
buttered crumbs over top and bake in
hot oven until light brown. Serve at

We all know the light in which it
pleased the Prussian Professor to pre-
sent the Prussian spirit to an admir-
ing world. It is adulated that the
State, a military and political abstrac-
tion, personified in the King, is su-
preme, and that the individual lives
only by and far the State. It is pro-
cleimed that the word "duty" is the
beginning and the end of the rights of
the individual, replaciug the words
"Liberty, Equality, Fraternity," which
more than a century ago seemed to
bring a new hope and a new dignity
to the individual human life, even in
Prussia. But, with a wealth of cum-
brous and metaphysical argument. the
Prussian professor maiutains that
duty is mot a bond if it be freely ace
eepted, that chains may be worn like
a splendid decoration. Moreover, the
Professor urges, the bondage of the
State covers only a part of life. The
State has to do only with the policy
of peace and the policy of war, which
as Clausewitz said, is a continuation
of the policy of peace by otber means.
For these the individual must surren-
der his conscience. his judgment. his
body and his life; in all other matters
he is free. He may revile God, even
the old German God, or worship bim in
his own 'fashion. He may hold any
theory about the authorship of the
Iliad, thenature of evolution, or the
constitution of matter. He may, un-
like the hide -bound Englishman, who
only thinks himself free, go to the
opera in a billycock, or eat odd meals
In odder ways, without incurring the
reprobation of society. He may, in
fact, in every realm of thought or
'eenduct outside the province of the
State, pursue any vagary of the all -
embracing, all -comprehending, colossal
German intellect. Is that not enough
for anyone? ls one not proud to be a
Prussian?
Unfortunately, even hi Prussia, there
are some enquiring minds who try to
analyze. What is the State to which
we are told that we owe. duty? The
question soon comes -to be: Who are
the State? Even in Prussia, where or-
ganization is so 'wonderful, it turns out
that the State is not, a living being
emanating wisdom and morality from
a 'superhuman soul It is merely a
set of individual human beings, wil-
ful and fallacious like other human be-
ings, but with the power at any par-
tieular moment of imposing theft will
and their ideas (possibly even fella-
• cies) as the eouceptions which deter-

IVIYRITH CURES MALARIA,
Isis Received Credit for Cures Her
Incense Worked,
MOD SOUP FOR
HEALTH, WEALTH
Dr, Aaron Jerfrey, of Newport 'Sews,
as the result of investigating the
therapeutic properties of myrrh, has
evolved a theory regarding the cures
effected among Egyptians who went to
pray for long periods in the temple of
Isis. Myrrh was kept burning contire'
uously before the altar, and he says,
those whotheprayed wcre 'benefited by
i
The announcement of this theory is
made in connection with some remarks
on what isapparently an effective
treatment for malaria, myrrh being
one of the ingredients. Writing in the
"American Journal of Clinical Medi-
cine," he says:
"Dr. William H. Ribble, sen., ot
Wytheville, Va. (who died several
years ago), said to me on one 0004-
sion that he would tell me how to
break up any attack of malaria and
then proceeded to tell me the follow-
ing story:
"As one day he was Jogging along a
country road in Nelson county, Va.,
some twenty years before, he was
joined by a Methodist circuit rider,
When the old preacher learned that
Dr. Ribble was going to visit a man
having chills and lever, and that in
spite of the large doses of quinine and
all his treatment the man continited to
have 'chills, the old gentleman said:
"If you promise not to tell anyone, I
will tell you what %ill cure your man.'
And this was his prescription:
"Mix forty grains of quinine, twenty
grains of myrrh and ten grains of ex-
tract of licorice and make into forty
pills. Take one pill every two hours
until all are taken. That was all.
"As the old man rode off he repeat-
ed: "The .chills will stop and your
man will have no more.'
"Dr. Ribble told me that he followed
the preacher's dh•ections, and, sure
enough, the patient promptly got well.
Ite now had been using the same pre-
eeription for more than twenty years,
and always 'with the same good re-
sults. He added that he supposed the
old fellow was dead by now, and that
he hardly committed a breach of•con-
tidence by telling his secret atter Men-
a; years had lapsed.
"After tbis conversation with Dr.
llibble I began the use of myrrlt and
quinine, wreng for forty capsules,
each containing one grain of bisul-
phate of quinine and one-half grain of
powdered myrrh, the patient to take
role capsule every two hours from the
time he awoke In the morning until
ieedame, And I always effected a cure.
The licorice, of course, has no virtue,
being used simply as a binder to hold
the myrrh and quinine together so as'
to make the pill mass.
"I was desirous to know in what way
myrrh could be of benefit in malaria,
so consulted a number of materia ined-
leas as to the action of myrrh but with
little or no satisfaction. Finally, in a
little ,book, namely, Bing's 'Elements
of Therapeutics,' I Lolled the state-
ment that myrrh given internally in-
creases the number of white eor-
puecles 'of the blood fourfold, Now,
we are told that the leucocytes are
the scavengers of the blood; en if
myrrh increases their number, the
malarial plasmodia. (the organisms
that cause malaria) are more readily
exterminated.
"I am convinced that small doses of
(Minim) given at short intervals are
more efficacious than large doses at
long intervals.
"It may beeetbough 1 .confess Itis a
rather far-fetched idea—that the rea-
son why the ancient Egyptians were
cured, by their various fevers and other
illnesres by going to the Temple of
Isis and praying a week or more to
this goddess was 'because of the fact
that myrrh was continually burning
on the altar. As a consequence, the
votaries 'plentifully Inhaled the fumes
of myrrh and thus received its physio-
logical effects." --New Voter Timee.
