No RoTnsoH1hDs present: Some dar-
kies started a faro, bank in Kentucky
town short time ago, and no one was
allowed to bet over 10 cents at time.
A man from Allen county was in to see
what he could see, and in his rambles
came upon the darkey faro bank. He
pulled OUT a $5 bill, bought its worth
IN chips and put them on. the jack.
The dealer was busy, and at first did
not see the big pile of chips and com
menced dealing. He all ut once looked
up, saw Allen county's pile, and inquir-
ed: "Who's dat got peoamed on dat
iaok2" Allen county, not knowing the
rules OF the game, very sternly remarked :

him for moment and replied: "Puil
hor down from dar. Pull her down

AGRICULTURE,

elements OF plant food that make the
soil SO productive. When properly rot
ted this material makes one OF the best
lnvigorators to be found for trees, vines

iy and chcaply obtained fertilizers in
use. Sods may be gathered from tho
fcnce corners of titled fields from the
surface aftcr plowing and narrowing

tho roadside whom the highways are un-
dcrgoing repairs. 10 utilize sods and
secure from them thoir bost fertilizlng
effects, they should be gathered and
piled up Ill somo out of the way place,
and tho whole covered with ashes or

from growing. A year or two Will be
required for them 10 thoroughly decay
unlt ss cut down and shoveled oyer after
laying long enough for tho grass to be
entirely killed out. Water should be
applied ut intervals, sufficient to keep
the pile moist and prevent dry, moldy
rot. Tho bcst way to provide for the
wetting down is to leave the top cupbing
and apply tho watcr abundantly in q
dy timo. 10 got such lot of good
material in the best shnpe for applying
to crops we would advise mixing it with
good we'll rotted barnyard manure. Say
about two loads OF 1T to ono o the ma.
nure, then spread it broadcast on grass
and crops of small gram; for corn or
vegetable apply i'll the hills or drills.

IT hos been discovered that potash
for potatoes does little good unless ap-
piled early and thoroughly mixed with
the coil. This may indicate either that
the potato plant needs the potash in its
earliest stages OF growth or that the al
kali serves other purposes in developing
plant food in the soil, which requires a
longer time. 1t Is probable that crude
potash is rarely or never used as plant
food. AS it absorbs nitrogen and be-
comes n nitrate of potash it's virtues be-
come. available foT plant nutrition.
