Manure vs. Commercial Fertilizers. (From Wallace Farmer.) The experiment stations are furnish ing us with much valuable informatioi on the subject of soil fertility, the valut of baruyard manure, and the une ant abuse of commercial fertilizers. We know of no man who has done better work alone this line than Professor Hop kins of Illinois. Ια a recent emmu nication to one of our exchange· Professor Hopkins made a statement which should be of great interest no' ouly to our Illinois reader», but those ir other states as wol), which we give in substance: Potassium, usually ca'led potash, it not deficient in most soils. It is one ol the abundant elements in nature. Th« average surface soil of the Illinois com belt contains as much potash as the average commercial fertilizer, ton fot ton, and the subsoil is even richer than the surface. The total supply of po tassium in our surface soil is so great that it is practically inexhaustible, and in the average coru belt land is eufficieut to meet the needs of the corn crop for five thousand years, and with even a fraction of «η inch of soil erosion during a century the supply is absolutely per manent. Practically all the potassium in the soil is unavailable and if any con siderable amount of it were in solution, it would be lost. An important part of the business of farming is to make this potassium available, uot all at once, but gradually Practically not all the po tassium that lias been used for the pro duction of Illinois corn crops for the past seveuty-fivo or one hundred years has been made available from the im mense supply in the soil. The chief agencies for making potassium soluble are the products of decaying organic matter. Wherever farmers fail to re turn organic matter to the soil, the sup ply of available potassium will likely become deficient. This is true not only of potassium, but also of magnesium, calcium and other essential mineral ele ments. We call particular attention to the statements about the effect of decaying organic matter. To make this supply of potassium available, we must apply de caying organic matter. This is true with reference to phosphorus as well. The whole drift of Professor Hopkins' statements is to the rtï-ct that phos phates in the shape of fl»ats or rock phosphate need vegetable matter in or der to make them available. We come now to the main point, upon which we have insisted, lo, these mauy years. If the farmer will maintain the phys ical condition of his eoil, be need give himself little concern about the miuera: elements, except in sections like South ern Illinois and parte of Missouri, where the scienti* s have told him that phos phorus is d« ticient There are sections both in Illinois and Iowa where potash is deficient, but they are limited to peat lands, where, by reason of the method of peat formation, the supply of potash and sometimes of phosphorus in de ticient. Here they rausi be supplied; bur outside of these districts, and inside of the black lands of Illinois and the great bulk of the soils in Iowa, Mim e sota, Kansas, Nebraska and South Da kota, tiie main point is to maintain the ph ysical condition. Th.scan be maintained for a time by good tillage, but tillage in itself ex hausts the bumus of the soil sooner or later The better the tillage the more rapiuiy ιι exnausi* u, anu mrw «»«"■ a time when tillage itself will uot tuain tain the physical coudition and there must be a supply of vegetable m titer. Oue is by growing it in the shape of clover and utiliz og the weeds oti the farm, and the other is by turning the farm more or lees into a live stock farm, utilizing this vegetable mattpr for the production of meats for the world1» market, and then carefully restoring the vegetable matter in the shape of manure It is for this reason that we have em phasized to such an extent the neces sity of maintaining more or less live stock on every farm, of conscientiously giving to the land its own in the shape of maDure; aud to do this cheaply we have maintained that no farmer can farm properly without the intelligent use of a manure spreader. We are quite well aware that this involves a revolu tion in the methods of farming in a good deal of our territory, a revolution that must come slowly, for the simple reason that it requires an education along live stock lines, which is much more difficult than the mere matter of growing grain. We take off our hat to the man who can grow one hundred bushels of corn to the acre; but we regard as worthy of much higher honor the man who can utilize to the best advantage this one hundred bushels corn, stalks aud all, by convert ing it into live stock of such a quality that it commands a high if not the high est, price on the market. It is only a question of time when these lands that are sown continually to auy one grain crop, no matter what It is, will get out of physical condition. This can be restored only by the ap plication of vegetable matter, and it is ouly by the action of this vegetable mat ter that the pttash and phosphorus which the soils usually have in abun auee, can be rendered available for the use of plants. What Drains Will Do. I have bad the management of the un derdrawing on a number of so-called "abandoned" fields, and in every in stance the results have been eminently satisfactory proving these lands to be very valuable. The land that this article will mention came into the possession of the present owner a few years ago, and he was laughed at for buying such waste land, but we had looked it over careful ly, and I was convinced that it could be draiued, although all through the basin part the bottom was quicksand; but this was overcome, and we went ahead with the drainage. The wheat on this laud that never before had produced a crop worthy of the name, yielded forty bush els of good, plump wheat per acre, and wjuld have produced many more bush els if the crop had not lodged so badly. The average height of the standing grain before it lodged was even with one's shoulders, and it bad mostly to be cut one way carrying the swath. There are pleuty of 40-bushel yields of wheat this year, but not on the class of land that this was before it was drained. This crop was not produced without other applied means. The owner believes in thorough cultivation, good seed and fertilizing, and when we get this sort of a combination there are sure, to be re sult·. The returned crops have already paid all the expense of reclaiming this land, and now it just requires (and will gel) right management. In my long drives over this part of the county there can be seen hundreds of acres of just such land, and few of these fields are so difficult to get good fail and outlet as was the land I have mentioned. Rsclaiming this class of lands means larger straw stacks to be worked back into the land, the keeping of more live stock, etc.—well, it means the turning from the old way of loes and discourage ment to the better way of encourage ment and prosperity. In tbto underdrawing is recognized to be the proper thing to do, and I·, receiving the proper attention because when people see that a thing pays they are not slow in acting—Cor. Country Gentleman. The fall season is here. The wilt farmer la already looking ahead to win ter. of care is responsible for moat oi the unprofitable tern poultry. Drank up HU Farm. What a frightful carte to raral lift rum is! We often think that it· blighi alone i· seen in the city where tb< drunkard ie seen reeling along thestreel or where a brilliant business or pro fessional man ia seen a victim to iti baneful influence, but in the language ol the street "there are other·." We receotly had occasion to visit ι well favored farm community and called upon a young man whose father had left him one of the best farms in the state. We knew the father well as an up-to-date business man who had suc ceeded where nine men out of ten would surely have failed. As he told us it wiw all dune by a lot of hard work coupled with some prett? close "figerin," both in the house and out. He had reared a good family and given them all a good start in life. The one who took the farm was considered the smartest of the lot, and he chose agriculture as his profession and settled down on the old farm. He was some thing more than "smart," he was bril liant and took great delight in the scien tific side of farm life. He had a good practical wife who would have preferred a location a little nearer the city, but who accepted her lot in life with the most perfect grace and performed her part in life without a murmur of com plaint. A little batch of children soon began to appear and they one and all received a warm welcome and all went well for a number of years until at laet the man began to be negligent in paying hi* bills. Then the word went around that a man at the city had a heavy mortgage on the fine farm that had been left to him by bis industrious father. The story soon became public that the mau had literally poured the farm down hie throat. In so doing be had grad ually undermined bin once vigorous health and even affected his strong mind no that when we called to see him we found nothing buta poor broken down man who had hardly reached his ma jority but broken and shattered in body, mind and purse. To our surprise he insisted upon tell ing uk the story of his down-fall. He declared that he never had been in toxicated xo as to be unable to mak· a presentable appearance in his life. No one nor even his wife had ever seen him intoxicated but still the damnable work had been accomplished and he was a sad and sorrowful example of a silent drunk ard. He bad bought his liquor iu secret and taken it to his home where he had practically lived upon it until bis ruin wan complete. We often think that the corse of strong drink is largely to be found iu the cities aud factory villages but those who know much of rural life can easily be lod to believe that the above is no fancy sketch or a solitary instance. We wish it was. —Turf, Farm and Home. Puu His Heart la It. We used to think that anyone could raise potatoes. They had onlv to plant the seed, hoe them and spray a little and then dig them and that was all there was to it. We have changed our mind decidedly. We called Co see a farmer the other day and when we asked hie good wife for him she replied that she supposed he wae in the potato field as that was where he spent hi* waking hours. Sure enough that wa« where we found him and nothiug would do but tl'at we must go through the piece with him. It was his baby and no mother w;«e ever prouder of an offspriug. As we walked among the tall tangled vines he plucked a weed here and crushed a bug there, all the lime dilatiug on the charm of the crop. At> we left he glanc ed back aud pointing to a tall weed or two he remarked with great earnestness "There won't be one of those pesky things in sight tomorrow night. We have been busy with the grain for the last ten days and a few of them bave stole a march on us but the boys and I will root them out to the morning in short order." Then taking one more fond look at the handsome field he re sumed his walk. Now the reader can think what he plrases, but we are sure that the man can raise a better crop and make more mone> out of it feeling the interest this man does than a man can who simply drops the seed heedlessly and cares for the crop in the same spirit. This field of potatoes was to this man what a grand horse or four-in-hand is to an ex pert horseman, especially if he has rear ed and trained them from colthood. The tield was a reality and he loved it as he did his family. It was a real thing to bim and to care for it was an easy task. This is the kiud of farming that tells in the enjoyment it brings as well as in the profit it gives the proprietor.— Turf, Farm and Home. Birds as Servants. Few birds, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture, are always and every where so destructive that their ex termination can be urged on sound eco nomic principles; some, like the swal lows, swifts, wreos and chickadees, are so strictly insectivorous that they are exceedingly beneficial, while others may injure crops at certaiu times of the year, but the loss is exceedingly small, and if by its insectivorous habits the bird pre vents much greater destruction than it indicts, the farmer should be willing to bear the lesser loss. A reasonable way of viewing the relation of birds to the farmer is to consider them as servante employed to destroy weeds and insects, for whum sufficient food and needed protection is provided. In the long run, no part of the capital invested in the farm or orchard i* more certain to pay big interest than the small sum collected as toll by the birds that harbor near the premises. Deductions from the exten sive investigations undertaken in re sponse to numerous complaints concern ing depredations by birds in orchards and vineyards on tbe Pacific Coast show that the food habits of the seventy spe cies, whose stomach contents were un der examination, indicate that but four species common in California can be re garded as of doubtful utility. These are the linnet, California jay, stellar jay, and redbreasted sapsucker. There fore, when all tbe known methods of protecting fruit have been exhausted, or cannot be profitably employed, a rea sonable reduction of the numbers of these offending birds is permissible; but the more the food habits of birds are studied, tbe more evident is the fact that with a nornm distribution of spe cies and a fair supply of natural food, the damage to agricultural products by birds is small as compared with tbe bene fit. Are Raising drain. Maine farmers are not finding fault at the high priees which their produce is bringing, instead they are looking very well satisfied and having had an oppor tunity of finding that feed and other stuff of that kiud is high and likely to remain so they have raised more feed for their stuck this year than has been the case for many years. There's a whole lot of Maine raised grain which will be fed out to the stock this winter that never would have been raised had it not been for tbe high prices of the western product. Maine farmers are learning that they need not depend upon tbe west so greatly, they can raise their own grain and get the very highest prices for their poultry, lambs, beef and hogs as well as for their other farm produce. The Maine farmer was never more pros perous than he is this («11.—Bath In dependent Instead of rating the apple orop of Maine at 120 per cent aa does the Apple Shippers' Association it will be less tnan forty, if above thirty per cent of a nor mal crop.

"And what are you doing here this time of the night?" "1 am looklug for a kind of ghost, a specter in black that leaves the palace early lu the evening and returns late, whose destination has invariably been 40 Krumerweg." The vintner started.

"Let's dry our eyes: and thus far bear me, Cromwell: Say, Wolsey—that once trod the paths of glory, and sounded all the depths and shoals of honor—found thee a way out of hie wreck to rise in, a sure and safe une tbo' thy master missed it. Mark but my fall aud that that ruined me. Love thyself last, cherish those hearts that bate thee. Corruption wins not more than honesty. Still in thy right hand carry gentle peace, to silence snviotis tongues. Be just and fear not. Let all the ends thou aim'st at be thy :ountry's, thy God's and truth's, then if thou fall'st, O, Cromwell, then fall'st a blessed martyr I" We can think of no words so impress ive for both political parties, now that the battle is o'er and the smoke cleared iway, than the above from Shakespeare's play of Henry VIII. Cardinal Wolsey had been prime min ister of England and the possessor of <reat wealth and unbounded power, but in losing the favor of the King, had lost ill. Cromwell was a friend and a member of his household, who remained faithful to bis benefactor in his fallen fortune. The Republican party Is "beaten bat not dismayed", to use a stereotyped saying of the Democracy for the past 28 years. Not dead, only resting a little after the battle. Tbe cry of extrava gance, tbo' not well based, appeals strongly to tbe people. "Extravagance and Sturgis" has been tbe slogan of tbe Democracy, on tbe outside coating, but on the inside the liquor question has been the factor need to rally tbe faith ful. But it is comforting to know that Old Oxford came out of tbe conflict with colore dying. Like her granite hills, she is invincible. Well, tbe Republicans bave bad an inning for nearly three decades and now, outside of Oxford County, tbe opposi tion has tbe bat. Will tbey do better, la the problem; if so, tbe state will the gainer be. We are confident, hopeful that tbe party in power will strive to ahape their policy and legislation so as to benefit all and oontinue the prosperity, peace and order now enjoyed. Time will tell.
