MIND POSSIBILITIES o
UNEXPLORED o
I
0 p O-0-n-o—o
(By Edgar Lucien Larkin)
No one is now able even remotely
a sense the coming advances, the
npernal heights and the exalted pla
es of mind. Those to be attained
re far and f beyond our hope
f sensing or imagining at present.
In the gigantic realm of mathe
latics the newly discovered inte
rals are on summits and heights
f pure mentation not thought pos
ible by the early explorers in the
lighty universe of number’s. Now
le question arises, what may man
ecome; is it possible for him to
Dcompass the infinite? The peaks
nd heights of intepration now rise
lrectly into the infinite. Can man
till rise to greater heights? Or is ,
man a part of infinite mind? The j
itegrals seem to say he is.
And in the new chemistry based
n atomic numbers the mind is ex
anding in the illimitable possibili
ies of new and still more complex
ambinations of chemical element*
peetroscopic analysis, the separation
f compounds into original elements
nd the detection by spectrum lines
f billionths, this achievement has
een attained. Synthetic chemistry
vast department of science, may
isume such proportions that foods
lay be made directly from their
asic elements. And every wheel
n earth may yet turn by the force
1 electrical induction, the force be
ig induced by the universal cos
lical energy.
Here is a good place to insert a
tying now going the rounds of re
?nt psychology mentation, “We
link by induction." If this is a
cientiflc fact—not scientific yet be
ause not proved beyond any trace
t doubt, then we are indeed mind
mits of the infinite mind. And this
> what good Master Hermes said in
bmp of the 3,000 rooms in that
n*nd Labyrinth of Arsinoe, on the
bores of Lake Meeris. For it is
®own that he was thrice exalted,
rnich means he had been initiated
J all the uspernal wisdom degrees
F the rites of that magnificent tern
®e- I have often wondered if he and
?® coadjutors knew what mind is.
t so, this wisdom has been lost in
*e rage of war, for none, of his
descendants now living know what}
it is.
And I have many times wondered t
what the effect would be on the
career of man on earth if he could !
discover what he really is. And
then make the next discovery how to
use apparently latent powers within
him. One of the most persistent
traditions of ancient Hermetic and
Osirian wisdom as taught for cen
thrones of mind. And the mind ex
pressing therein has power to isolate
and weigh one electron, next to the
infinitely small, and weigh 5,000,000,
000 suns, some of them being two
billion times larger than the earth.
How mind functions in these minute
centers of nerve radiation, and what
mind is—these two are enigmas so
completely inscrutable that mental
ists are battled; they cannot master
turies in the Labyrinth that has sur
vived until now is that there ex
ists in man very remarkable powers
for mentation, now latent, but known
to the grand masters then. There
may be something in this very an
cient idea. That is. has the supernal
calculus been latent in the deep sea
realms of the human mind for many
decades of thousands of years? If
other things are still latent, what
may not man become when these
mighty powers are awakened?
I have been projecting photographs
of brain cells or nerve ganglia in
brain tissues by high power lenses
on screens in my new science cham
bers to the complete astonishment of
my classes and of myself. These
complexes of nerve fibers are- the
one fact relating to either.
Only one thought that is new has
passed into, out of or through the
human brain cells so far in 1917, and
this was the discovery of a law of
nature by a young chemist named
Moseley in England. Then he was
ordered to the trenches in France,
where he soon was killed.
That is the way the case of hu
manity stands today. Yet every dis
covery of physical and mental sci
ence indicates that the entire side
real universe and all it contains are
rooted and grounded in mind, the
true base of all there is. The term
“mental base of nature’’ is appearing
in many places.

0 WHAT MANURE IS WORTH o
1 I
■-0-0-0-o-o-o-0
The real value of farm manure is
hard to estimate. The chemist’s val
ue, based upon the plant food the
manure contains, ranges usually from
$2 to $4 a ton. This does not in
clude the value of the manure as
humus, which is considerable. From
a farmer's standpoint a ton of ma
nure is worth a great deal more
than the chemist’s estimate, because
experience teaches that land where
manure has been spread yields a
great deal more than land of the
same kind without any manure. The
principal value of manure, says
Farm and Ranch, is its beneficial
effect upon the texture of the soil.
When incorporated with soil manure
greatly improves the texture, loosen
ing a tight, heavy soil and binding
together a light, sandy soil, making
the soil warmer, more friable and
more retentive of moisture.
As a means of increasing the
water holding capacity of soil ma
nure is very valuable. King found
after three years experience that
manured fallow ground contained
18 tons more water per acre in the
first foot of soil than similar land
unmanured, while the total gain in
the first three feet of soil on ac
count of the manure was 34 tons.
There is one other benefit that
should not be omitted Manure car
ries countless numbers of bacteria
that are of benefit to the soil. When
the vegetable matter in the manure
decays in the soil certain acids and
ferments are produced which have a
decided influence upon soil fertility.
That is. a liberal application of ma
nure sets in motion a series of activ
ities that render more plant food

The amount of plant food in the
manure, as has been previously stat
ed. depends upon the kind of animal,
the age of the animal, the kind and
amount of feed and the. bedding
used. Horae manure is richer in
nitrogen than either that of the cow
or hog. An average sample of horse
manure contains about 6 per cent
nitrogen, 3 per cent phosphoric acid
and 5 per cent potash. Cow and
hog droppings contain more water
and are poorer in plant food. An
average sample of either contains
about 4 per cent nitrogen. 2 per
cent phosphoric acid, 5 per cent pot
ash.
Poultry manure is the richest of
the farm manures because it con
tains the semi-solid urine and there
is little waste. An average sample
of poultry manure contains about 12
per cent nitrogen. 9 per cent phos
phoric acid and 6 per cent potash.
It will thus be seen that it is es
pecially ritn in nitrogen and phos
phoric acid.
Estimating the manure of farm
animals according to the plant food
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash,
they contain, they are valued about
as follows: Sheep manure $4.20 per
ton; mixed farm manure $2.25 per
ton; hen manure $6.50 a ton; hog
manure $3.20 a ton; livery stable
manure $2.45 a ton; cow manure
$2.43 a ton. This does not, of course,
include the humus value, which may
be several times the value of the
plant food In the manure.
There are at least two fairly ac
curate methods of calculating the
amount of manure a definite num
ber of animals win produce during
the year. Careful feeders have found
that it may be fairly estimated that
a horse will yield 12.000 pounds of
solids and 3,000 pounds of liquids
during the year; a cow will produce
20,000 pounds of solids and 8,000
pounds of liquids; a sheep 760
pounds solids and 380 pounds liquids,
a hog 1,800 pounds solids and 1,200
puuuu» liquids, wun me average
analysis given above the plant food
may be estimated, n
Another method of calculating the
manure an animal will produce is
to multiply the amount of dry mat
ter in the feed for one year by the
following: For the horse multiply
the amount of dry matter in his feed
for one year by 2.1; for the cow.
multiply the dry matter in the feed
by 1.8. To the product of each case
must be added the weight of the
bedding. As an example suppose a
cow consumes 20 pounds of dry mat
ter a day in her feed. Multiply 20
by 3.8 and we have 76 pounds of
manure. To this we must add the
bedding. If this be 10 pounds the
manure will amount to 86 pounds.
Heiden’s rule for calculating the
manure of farm animals is to esti
mate by a ton of feed. For instance
a ton of green corn fodder is sup
posed to produce 1,590 pounds of
manure; a ton of green alfalfa
2,166 pounds of manure; a ton of
green cowpeas 1.260 pounds; a ton
of corn silage 1,605 pounds of ma
nure. Dry feeds: Corn fodder per
ton produces 4,439 pounds manure;
a ton of alfalfa hay, 7,035 pounds
manure; a ton of cowpea hay 6,858
pounds manure; a ton of millet hay
6,931 pounds manure.
Another way is to keep a record
of the feeding When one knows
the amount and composition in fer
tilizing constituents he can estimate
the amount of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash In the manure.
Cows in milk return only about 65
to 75 per cent of the manurial value
of their food in the excrement. Cows
that are being fattened return from
80 to 90 per cent.
How can the manure be saved
with the least loss and the greatest
profit? This is a question of great
importance, and suggestions will be
made along this line. Let us hear
from those who save, apply and
get increased profits.

TOO MANY LAWSUITS
It is the second great command
ment, love for one’s neighbor, love
for all mankind that I wish now
especially to emphasize, and to urge
our preachers and religious leaders
to emphasize. Ke have too manv
church members professing a re
ligion of love who do not speak to
some neighbor; who instead of for
giving some ancient injury lie awake
nights planning to get even; who in
stead of putting a charitable con
struction upon the words and deeds
of neighbors, live in a perpetual
state of suspicion and distrust; or
who belong to the same set or fac
tion in a community which cherishes
nothing but hate or bitterness for
some other faction.
Especially, it seems to me, are
such conditions likely to prevail in
country communities. It is not that
country people are worse at heart
than city people, , but simply be
cause the farmer, living to himself,
does not mingle with his fellows as
much as the city man, and it is
always easy to mistrust the man
you don’t know. It was a wise say
ing of a great man. “Know one
another and you will love one an
other.” 1 remarked the other day
that in proportion to property in
terests involved, 1 believe there are
ten times as many law suits among
farmers as among city business men.
No matter what your object may
be—whether it is to develop indi
viduals of noble, generous character;
or bring about greater business co
operation among rural people, or
bring about a more satisfying social
and community life—In any case,
there is nothing more important for
us than to get iur people to put
life’s emphasis on love rather than
hate, on trust rather than suspicion.

Most fires result from carelessness.
A great many are reported as re
sulting from accidents, but most
accidents result from carelessness.
Mr. Webster defines carelessness
as “not taking proper care; negli
gent; unconcerned. Without thought
or attention; unstudied.”
We read in the newspapers of
buildings being destroyed by fire
caused by the owner using kero
sene to start the kitchen fire. Or
from coals from an unscreened open
fireplace rolling out on the floor
after the family has retired. Again
the account states that the fire
originated from a trash pile in the
back yard, or from an electric iron
left with the current on while the
one in charge talked to the next
door neighbor across the fence.
These fires are termed ‘accident
al.”
They could all be prevented.
Fire prevention is necessarily an
individual matter. Each citizen must
look after and remedy conditions on
his own premises.
He can do this by taking proper
care; by not being negligent or un
concerned; by giving proper thought
and attention; and by giving some
study to the hazardrous conditions
that may exist.
He lan avoid sarelessness.
And by avoiding carelessness the
danger of fire on his ow’n premises
will be reduced to the minimum.

ARE LIGHTNING RODS ANY GOOD
A reader writes us about the
methods a lightning rod salesman
is using to make sales in his neigh
borhood. and ends his letter by say
ing: ‘Now if you will tell the
farmer what good there is In rods,
and where he can get them, and
about what they are worth per foot,
you will confer a favor on many.”
Lightning rod agents have been
given a bad reputation, not that
lightning rods are themselves not
worth while, but because agents
charge too much for them. Lightn
ing rods are really a great protec
tion to form buildings, and If bought
conservatively are worth many times
their cost. We hope before many
weeks to publish a somewhat com
prehensive discussion of the subject.
Meanwhile we would advise farm
ers to write the United 8tates De
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. O.. and ask for Farmers’ Bulletin
No. 367. "Lightning and Lightning
Conductors." This thoroughly cov
ers the subject our inquirer has
brought up.—The Progressive Farm

declare they have been completely
relieved by Lung Germine. lr your
cough and other symptoms are due to
weak lungs, serious developments
may follow neglect. NOW is the time
to begin on LUNG GERMINE and
build up and strengthen your lungs.
Lung Germine has relieved incipient
Lung Diseases, according to state
ments of sufferers themselves, as well
as statements from their doctors—
and the patients remain strong and in
splendid health today.
Tou take no chances when you try
LUNG GERMINE. It is not like cheap
cough syrups. It is a real lung and
bronchial medicine of proven merit.
Try one bottle and see for yourself
how quickly and splendidly It acts.
A full month's supply, which formerly
cost $5.00, can now be had for only
12.00. If you are not satisfied with
the benefit you have derived after
using one full bottle, ask the drugr
gist for your money back.
Good druggists everywhere have
Lung ilermine, or can get it for you
from their wholesalers.
