In a. heap and al

kept moist enough
to prevent a vo

ono of long con
troversy. Experiments by Professor
Voalkcr of the Royal Agricul
tural society of England, and of
others, have shown that tho fer
mentation of manure, when properly
conducted, results in its decomposition,
nod under proper conditions does not

of soils and the decomposition a rela
tion to tho warmth of tho soil and a
relation to tho chemical reactions in
ho minerals of tho soil. Tho question,
n, is whether this loss is compen-
ted by a slightly moro soluble man
uro at tho time of Its application.
On sandy soils this loss of organic
matter, it would appear, Is a serious
matter, for It Is already deficient In it
and the water-holding capacity that It
brings to tho soil Is of value to It.
In soils already overrlch In organic
matter and Inclined to retain moisture
too much and theso aro soils where
decomposition is likely to bo slight
another question will be presented.
Again, fermentation, unless carefully
conducted, will result In loss of the
nitrogen or ammonia of manure. It
may bo said that gardeners who seek
to produce very early crops generally
advocate tho fermentation of manure,
because It will give them an earlier
start, through Its greater amount of
avallablo nutritive or soluble materials
and because the manuro can bo spread
much more evenly and bo commingled
with the soil very much moro thorough-
Chinch nn In Oklahoma.
At the Oklahoma Experiment Station
Farm, at Stillwater, as well as In many
other porta of tho territory, chinch
bugs were nearly or qulto as injurious
to crops In tho summer and fall as was
the dry weather. Experiments at the
Station and throughout the territory as
well as In different states, in causing
the destruction of the chinch bugs by
trie introduction of diseaso among them,
wnro generally unsuccessful. The con
ditions under which tho diseaso rapidly
reads are not fully known, but It is
evident that dry weather is unfavorable
to such spread. Wilh present knowledge
It 13 unwiso to rely on tho Introduction
of diseaso as an effective method of de
stroying theso destructlvo Insects. It
lias been proved entirely possible to
prevent tho passage of tho Insects from
one field to another, except at the pair
ing season, when they fly freely, by a
system of barriers and traps. Furrows
with steep Bides of finely pulverized
earth, or lines of coal tar on a well
smoothed surface, have been found en
tirely effective. The insects will collect
in holes in tho furrows or at the side
of tho coal tnr line In vast numbers and
destroyed by hot water or a kerosene
ixture. Something can be done to
ako tho passage of the Insects difficult
by kecking the corn, sorghum and sim
ilar crops as distant as may be from
the smaller grain and millet crops.
Green Manuring. A report from tho
Now Jersey Station gives tho plan of
an experiment for tho Improvement of
light lands by the use of crimson clover
and cow peas and a statement regard
ing the method of cultivating cow pens
on n larger scale In New Jersey. Cow
peas, following crimson clover, yielded
at the rate of 14,400 pounds of green
' ntaterial per acre. Tho vines con
IWlned 2,278.1 pounds of organic dry
Lgflpatter, 70.G pounds of nitrogen, 17.3
pounus oi pnospnoric aciu ana 50.4
pounds of potash. The roots on ono
acre weighed only 1,080 pounds, .and
contained 295.2 pounds of organic dry
matter, 4.2 pounds of nitrogen, 1.5
pounds of phosphoric acid and 4.d
pounds of potash per acre. Tho roots
and vines grown on an aero contained a
total of 31.8 pounds of nitrogen, 18.
pounds of phosphoric acid and $4.4
'pounds of potash. Tho nitrogen in the
vines Is equivalent to that contained in
37V6 pounds of nitrato of soda and la
alued at about $11.
Propagating Raspberries. The prop
er way to propagate tho black cap rasp-
perry is by sticking the long, snake-
like tips in tho soli and growing a new
plant from these. If the soil has been
veil cultivated and the plant is very
rigorous a plant can be made not only
rom the tip of tho main stem, but from
lost ot the branches. So soon as they
Ire w41 rooted the new plants should
le separated from tho old stem. The
kind blowing the bush loosens tho
branches where they are rooted In the
all and uproots them. This Is pretty
Mro to happen If tho plant Is left with
iese numerous rooted tips In the
round over winter. Freezing and
jawing Is hard enough on any now
slant, but Is especially so to one at-
iched to another above It and con-
.antly pulling it upward. As the eoII
I loosened when thawed, up flies tht
inch with Its rooted tip, and a short
Rne In spring sunshine destroys Its
.vitality. Ex.

The Kronomtcnl Cow.
As all successful breeders realize, tho
tlmo Is past when wo can wholly rely i
upon the pedigrco as a guido In select
ing tho animals whose characteristics
wo wish to perpetuate In our flocks or i
herds. Not that tho law of heredity Is '
any less true than formerly, but bo
cause wo aro coming to appreclato that
an animal pnrent la moro likely to
transmit Us own characteristics rath
er than thoso of some ancestors. So,
Instead of studying tho pedigree nnd
tho pedigree only, tho breeder of today
will study in Its connection tho Individ
uality, the typo nnd general conforma
tion of tho animal with special refer
ence to their economy of production,
appreciating tho fact that more nnd
moro will tho "cost of production" bo
tho standpoint from which nil anlmnls
Kept for production be Judged. Apply
ing this principle to dairy cattle, tho
question is raised, What sort of a cow
Is tho most economical and therefore
the best cow? That cow Is tho most
profitable which will produce a pound of
butter fat tho most economically, and
although It is conceded tht thcro is
moro dlffercnco in tho individuals of
tho same breeds than thcro Is In tho dif
ferent breeds, that breed which con
tains tho greatest proportion of most
economical cows Is tho best breed.
In order for a cow to produco a pound
of butter fat economically (which
should bo tho standard by which all
dairy cows should be Judged), sho must
be able to consumo a largo amount of
conrso fodder, which, of necessity, will
always bo grown In largo quan
tities by overy fnrmcr and dairy
man. All of theso coarso foods
contain the samo ingredients found In
tho grains and concentrated by-products,
but not in the same proportion,
and for this reason a cow is obliged to
cat GO pounds of corn stalks to get tho
amount of nutriment which sho would
obtain fromta few pounds of corn meal
and bran for example. Hence It fol
lows that If an animal can consume
enough roughage, whoso Intrinsic val
ue is a very fow cents, and get from it
the game amount of digestivb nutrients
that would be obtained In eight pounds
of highly concentrated food which Is
intrinsically worth that many cents or
more, sho will bo, by far, moro profita
ble than ono whose limited capacity
will allow her to tako but a few pounds
of roughage and the main part of whose
ration must bo highly concentrated and
expensive.
Considering the general typo of the
Holstein breed, is It too much to say
that as a breed it contains a greater
proportion of cows capablo, on ac
count of their largo storage capacities,
of making butter cheaper than any oth
er breed? I was very much interested
in looking over tho results obtained at
the Minnesota Experiment Station from
a herd of 23 cows composed of nearly
all breeds and their grades, to find that
In a year's trial the cow that produced
the most butter was a high-grade Hol
stein and that the next greatest amount
was produced by a registered Holstein,
the two making 49 1 and 453 pounds re
spectively, at an average cost per
pound of 8.06 cents and 9.0G cents. Of
course it Is unfair to draw any conclu
sions from so few figures, but they cer
tainly serve to Indicate that tho largo,
roomy Holstein, properly handled, has
before her a futuro as a large and
economical butter producer. H. Hay

Smutty Corn and Steeri.
There is scarcely a year that there
Is not more or less smutty corn. ' Wo
would be pleased to have the vtows and
exp-'jlencc of feeders on this subject in
the Farmers' Review. Having fed
thousands of steers In twenty-five years
successfully, without losing a Bteer
from this smut; we tasted It to know Its
flnvor; not using narcotics, or spirits,
we found It hnd tho flavor of cornmeal,
drv ground. Hence wo stacked tho en
tire season's crop and let it sweat. Wo
feared spontaneous combustion, but tho
wind changed daily, and cooled tho
stack to the windward, and thus pre
vented spontaneous combustion.

little hay, thus reducing coBt, buying no
ear corn. Tho average Bteer'B weight
was less than in other years. The pro

High-Headed Orchards. Every year
a great deal of fruit is lost by heavy
winds blowing it from tho trees. This is
beforo it has attained full size. This la
partly due to tho fact that trees are
generally headed too high, n relic of
times when tho high-branched tree was
cut up until a team could walk under It
to plow and cultivate. If the orchard Is
headed low there will be little growth
under its branch, which when loaded
with fruit will frequently be bent down
until they touch the earth. The fruit
on low trees is easily gathered from the
ground or with a short step ladder. If
thero wero no other reason for low
heads in trees this of ease in gathering
the fruit would bo sufficient to mako it
always advisable. No kind of stock
should be allowed in orchards except
pigs, Cnttle and horses will eat both
leaves, fruit and branches as high as
they can reach, and to get the fruit out
of tho way of being eaten' by stock
eeems to be tho reason for tho high
pruning and heading of many old or

Chicago Chronlclo: The treasury ;
Btatcmont3 for October show nn In
crease of ?5,3 11,108 In tho net debt and
nn excess of $G,601,C77 in tho expen
ditures ovor the receipts for tho month.
Theso facts, of course, nro closoly re
lated, since tho Increase of debt is duo
to excess of expenditures over recolptB.
On Its fnco tho deficit is unfavorable,
for tho deficiency Is nt tho rate of over
$79,000,000 for tho year. But upon clos
er examination it proves to be, on tho
whole, encouraging. Tho receipts for
the month amounted to nearly $23,000,
000, or at tho rate of $330,000,000 por
nnnum, exclusive of tho poslofllco de
partment, which is only about $20,000,
000 less than the actunl expenditures
for tho fiscal year 1894, also cxcluslvo
of tho postofllco department. It Is n
proper Infercnco that tho expenditures
were much above the monthly average
(n October. They, In fact, exceeded $34,
E '.0,000, which was $4,800,000 above tho
monthly average for 1894. It appears,
therefore, that in reality receipts are
.gaining on expenditures nnd that the
treasury estimate of a deficit of only
$20,000,000 for tho current fiscal year
is likely to bo Justified by the event.
A Republican critic of tho new tariff
states tho fact thnt during tho expired
fourteen months under that tariff tho
customs receipts hnvo amounted to
$189,818,390, nnd remarks: "This is
more than $13,000,000 less than tho re
ceipts under tho McKlnley bill for tho
twelvo months from July 1, 1892, to
June 30, 1893. Thus twelve months of
tho McKlnley bill produced an excess
of $13,000,000 more revenue than four
teen months of the Wilson bill."
This Is a fair example of Republican
distortion of facts. The critic, It will
bo observed, omitted the flBcal year
1894, all of which waB under tho Mc
Klnley law, and went back to 1893. In
1894 the customs receipts under tho Mc
Klnley law amounted to only $131,800,
000, which was at the rate of less than
$154,000,000 for fourteen months, or
about $30,000,000 less than tho amount
actually collected In fourteen months
under tho now law.
In view or tho fnct thnt the customs
revenue continued to fall off for five
years after tho Republican panic of
1873, this is n remarkably good show
ing. It Is the more so because almost
no sugar was Imported for six months
after tho passage of tho now law, and J
when importations wero resumed the
price was nbont one-third less on a
given quantity of sugar than had been
expected.
Tho now law would havo produced
revenue enough but for the decision of
the Supremo court ndverso to tho in
come tax. Evon as it is. with a balance
of about $180,000,000 in thu treasury,
the government can pull through tho
current year without the help of a
Reed-Quay Congress, and next year It
will bo plain sailing.
No Tlmo for lllrkerhif;.
For tho first tlmo in thirty years Re
publicans elected a governor of New
Jersey. Tho defeated Democratic can
didate, Mr. McGlll, was chancellor of
tho state, a popular Democrat, a consci
entious Jurist, a public-spirited citizen.
He raado a thorough canvass, but fate
was against him. Instead of repining,
complaining and visiting harsh criti
cisms right and loft, he walked into a
telegraph ofllco and sent his congratu
lations to bis successful rival, "vlth my
best wish for success and our state's
prosperity under your administration."
Party defeat does not mean the end
of the republic Evon the long period
of ascendency held without a break by
tho Republican party nnd tho unfor
tunato tendency of that party to care
for Individual interests rather than the
public weal, resulting as It did in
amassing tremendous fortunes in
America and leaving the mass with no
hopo of substantial accumulation,
menaced, but It did not destroy, repub
lican form of government. Intervals of
Democratic administration havo been
a check upon this unfortunate tendency
of Republicanism and will keep tho
party In bounds. Dofeatcd politicians
would do well to emulnto the cheerful
ness of Chancellor McGill. Some of
them are inclined to be waspish, crim
inating and incriminating, finding
fault with party associates, decrying
party management There Is n good
old proverb that the least said the soon
est mended. The party that baa lntcr
necino strife to heal is not I; position
to regain power as readily as a party
that accepts Its defeat cheerfully and
unitedly prepares for another trial of
strength. Before the Republican Con
gress meeting In December shall have
adjourned, the political sentiment of
this country will bo vastly changed.
Responsibility of legislation is now on
the Republican party. It Is no longer )
merely In opposition. It must do con
structive work, and with It encounter
criticism that falls easily upon persons
so engaged. Its mistakes aro likely
to be the greater because It Is now swol
len with the pride of victory, drunk
with success. The sooner all Demo

Chicago Chronicle: The Indiana Re
publican bosses held a conference at
Indianapolis a day or two ago. The
ancient Dick Thompson, who was pres

to sond forth to tho country the state
ment that tho lenders of tho Demo

It had been borno In upon him thnt
(his word described tho mental stale

warranted Inference from tho fnct that
the representatives of, the Republican
pnrty nt tho Indianapolis conference
dispersed without adopting nny reso
lutions or putting themselves on rec
ord as to a single public question. This
was unusual, not to say unprecedent

What Is this but a confession of be

In no attempt to conceal tho fact thnt

man may hnvo had reason to doubt
whether Harrison could bo trusted to

could not and cannot now bo trusted
on that question, nnd for that reason
he, may be art nvnllablo candidate next

and that Altgeld's Ideal flag Is blood
