thb crossroad with a change of up an old iron spoon losses in manuke in isod01 three series of steer feeding experiments were made at tho pennsylvania kspcrinicnt sta tion comparing the gains obtained from animals kept without tying in a box stall and from those tied as usual in ordinary stalls the former being watered in tho stall the latter turned out daily to water the re sults showed that by the former me thod a very large saving in cost of attendance is secured without any decrease in the gain of live weight or any disadvantage as respects tho quantity of food required to produce it the relative economy of the two methods is however not fully dem onstrated until the value of tho re sultant manures is kuown for these differ materially in the conditions of their preservation the manure from tho box stall was formed upon a cement floor and was kept under the animals compacted by their trampling until the close of the expirement that from tho ani mals tied in the stalls and watered in tho barnyard was on tho con trary daily remefved and stored in a compact heap under conditions close ly approximating those of a covered manure sued except that it was not subject to trampling by the stock the fertilizing constituents in food and litter less those used in form ing njw animal tissue were com- 1 pared with those recovered in the two manures the comparison is especially interesting because of the increasing use of the covered shed method in pennsylvania the trampled manure suffered little loss of fertilizing constituents though less than twofifths of the dry matter of food and litter wns recov ered in tho manure the covered shed manure lost onethird of its nitrogen onofifth of its potash and oneseventh of its phosphoric acid only onethird of the dry matter of food and litter was recovered in the manure tho potash and phosphoric acid losses must be explained by seepage of liquid manure into the clay floor the loss of nitrogen is howdver chiefly due to volntilization of carbonate of ammonia the money value of tho fertilizer constituents lost by the second as compared with the first method is equivalent to 250 for each steer stabled for six months therefore manure if prepared upon a tight floor and with such proportion of litter that it can be trampled into a compact mass loses very little if any of its fertilizer constituents so long as the animals remain upon it this method of preserving steer ma nure is therefore distinctly superior to that of the covered shed though the letter method may not always exhibit as great loss as that observ ed in this

modern fiction for strangely enough thcro exists nowadays a popular prejudice against such works yet some of our greatest reformers have been novel ists who have effected reforms by their books the chief of them was of course charles reade ami it is a striking fact that his four most successful novels were written solely with tho idea of educating the peo ple into a proper frame of mind as to four crying shames and in cach caso he was successful to a rcniaok- able degree jl will readily bo understood that any widesweeping reform needs the support of popular opinion and it is never too late

alarmed every one because they men aced overy one that not only oould a sane person be incarcerated in an asylum but once there stood small chance of ever being able to prove his sanity tho abuses of trado unionism were attacked by charles reado in put yourself in his place in writing which the author drew largely upon actunl occurrences trade unionism was at the time of tho publication of this
