AL-ABASTINE
a Superior Substitute
for Kalso1nine, etc.

Alabastine Is the first and only preparation
made from cnlcined gypsum rock, for app.
cation to walls with brush, and is fully COW
cred by patents and perfected by many years
of experiments. 1t is the only permanent
wall finish, and admits Of applying as many
coats as desired, one over another to any
hard surface, without danger Of scaling, or
noticeably adding to the thickness of the
wall, which is strengthened and improved by
each additional coat, from time to time. 1t
Is the only material for the purpose not de-
pendent upon glue for its adhesiveness.
Alabastine is hardened on the wall by age,
moisture, etc, while all kalsomines or whit.
enmg preparations have inert soft chalks
and glue for their base, which are rendered
soft or scaled in u very short time.
In addition to the above advantages,
Alabastine is less expensive, as it requires
but one-half the number of pounds to cover
the same amount of surface with two coats,
is ready for use by adding water, and easily
applied by any one.

The Fertilizer Puzzle.

Experiments at the the Pennsylvania
Agricultural College with the three
plant nutrients -phos phate, nitrogen
compounds and potash-on a limestone
clayey loan, indicated the first as the
most efectual on wheat, and that of
the other two the nitrogen com pounds
were more useful for the production of
grain than the potash salts; only when
tho yield of straw was also taken into
account did the effect of potash appear
noteworthy, Commercial manures
compared with yard manure showed a
very little difference in favor Of the lat
ter. Nitrogen in the three forms usu-
ally sold in commercial manures, nj
trates, ammonia salts, and organic nj
trogcn as is dried blood, was compared
without showing any notable difference
In favor of one or another. AS show
ing how easy it may be to waste ma
nnre by applying too much, there were
experiments in which DO cS containing
"a, lS and 70 pounds of nitrogen were
applied to different plots, without any
increase Of crop in last two cases at all
proportionate to the increased cost OF
the application.
Experiments were also tired on corn
with the same mixtures of fertilizers as
on wheat; and it was very strikingly
shown that while in general the ma
nuring gave an increase of crop it was
by no means enough to pay for the fer
t:lizers used; the wheat gave much bet
ter returns, for in every case where the
experiment could be called a successful
one, that is to say, where it gave any
increase of crop over the unmanu ell
plots, this increase was not less than
5.4 bushels per acre, and in some cases
it reached 8 or bushels - in all cases
provided that the fertilizer contained
both phosphate and nitrogen com
pounds. On the other hand, with the
corn the increase was in no instance
over $50 bushels for mixture of these
ingredients of commercial fertilizers or
putting it another way, while the yield
of wheat was in some cases increased
by half the yield with no manure, the
Weld of corn was increased by only a
little over one-tcnth Of the yield on the
unmanured plots in any case.

Deering Irvine Binde

The first thing that a wise man wants
when buying any piece of machinery, is to
see it work; when he sees it work he wants
to eramiEe it, and see if he can understand
it; if he cannot he naturally feels little
dubious and concludes that while it may be
all right, yet he prefers something in which
the why and wherefore of every operation
is plain; but when, on the other baud in
trying Binder, he finds one that is so sim
pie that he cannot fail to see the cause of
every effect, he says at once, This is the

Lieut.. K~islingbury's Remains
and Pound to'Be Denuded of Flesh.
The sickening details connected with the
sufferings of the Greedy party continue to alb
sorb public attention to the almost entire ex-
clusion Of politics. A new interest has been
given to the CHASTITY subject by the result of
the examination of Lieut. Kislingbury's re-
mains at Rochester. The doctor who exam
ined the remains, made the following report:
'sThe body in weight Appropriated, in our
opinion, about fifty pounds. On examination
Of the head, no signs of wounds or injuries
were visible. The skin was not broken. The
ears and nose were intact The skin and mus
cles of the interior portion of the face and neck
we're intact. From the upper portion of the
sternum and clavicle to the W portion of the
fifth rib on the left side the skin and muscles
had all been removed down to the ribs on the
right side. The skin and muscles down to the
lower border of the last rib were gone. There
were two openings between the fourth and
fifth intercestal spaces into the thOracic
cavity. The skin and muscles on the anterior
portion of the abdomen were intact to
the crest of the illium or pelvic bones.
The muscles and skin OF the anterior and pos
terror Of the thighs were entirely removed, ex-
cept the skin on the anterior portion of the
knee Joints. The muscles and skin of the left
leg were removed to within three inches of the
ankle Joint. On the right leg the skin and
muscles were removed to within five inches OF
the ankle joint. Both feet were intact, and the
toes all present There was no vestige of in
tegument or muscles on either arm, including
the muscles of the shoulder blades to the wrist
joints except on the right forearm and an in
terosseous membrane remaining of the flesh
and muscles; both hands were intact. The ex-
animation of the interior portion of the body
showed that the skin and muscles of the back
from the seventh cervical vertebra had
been dissected or cut completely away,
down to the bones, with the exception of
pieces of skin from two or three inches square
on each side of the upper portion of the sacrum-
The pelvic bones were completely denuded.
All the extremities were attached 10 the body
by %hgiments only, no fractures of body dis
covered. We found all the organs of the thorax
and abdomen present There was evidence OF
recent Inflammation of the stomach and bowels.
The large intestines were dlstended with
hardened Jumps of focal matter, in which
there was hair, moss or woody fiber. In our
opinion the flesh removed was cut away with
some sharp instrument That remaining on
the feet, hands and face showed no signs of
decomposition.

Destructive rire at AnoIa. MINI.

Nearly all the business portion of Anoka.
mlnn.s was destroyed by fire on Saturday
morning. The flames started abouttwo O'clock
IN a prlvy adjoining Van De Welde & Pages
roller skating rink, and when hrst seen were
spreading up the hill toward the high school
The efforts Of fremen and volunteers to mar
row the course of the confagration were I'M
ayaling. Every piece of wood, every box and
plank, fences, blinds and cornices were as dry
as a bone, and instantly caught fire as the
flaming current approached.
The fire showed no signs Of stopping as Icing
RS there was anything for it to feed on, and it
cut a clean swath to the river, taking in it's
course the magnificent Washburnf Touring mills
as well az the opera house, block First Nation
81 bank bulHing, and -four score buildings.
some OF them linen buildings than are usually
to be seen N such a small city as this. There
was no partial damage" except to one building
-fhe school house. Al the rest are total loss.
AS Anoka now looks there is a wide level gap
from the bridge north to the court house, ex-
cept the standing ruins of the First National
Bank, the Opera House block and the tall.
round chimney Of the Lincoln mill A rough
estimate of the figures foot up as follows:
buildings burned, Sc; loss on buildings, $341,-
$50; loss on contents, $277, $40. Insurance on
buildings sl9l $50; insurance on contents, $124,-
80; total loss, 1929, 100; total insurance, $780,
W. D. Washburn's loss was roughly estima-
ted by him at $4,000, with $145, 600 insur-
ance. The principal buildings destroyed, be-
sides Mr.. Washburn's are Jackson's Hotel,
Anoka Club House, Anoka Bank, r. Taylor's
store, Bean Il Guderain's store, A. L. Ticknor's
stores; ii. L. Plummer's stores; j. A. Foote'S
buildings, skating rink, Postofice Block. OF
these buildings destroyed, is were on Jackson
street; 1873 on Maine street; and others on
Monroe street and others, besides those on the
river bank.
Steam engines from St Paul and Min
neapolis were sent by rail to Anoka and
rendered effective service III staying the flames,
though the destruction had been accomplished
previous to their arrival. Tn Mississippi river,
crossed by a handsome wagon bridge, is one
mile west of the city and its tributary, the Rum
river, runs through and pretty equally divides
the corporation through the business portion.
Where the destruction occurred is north of the
Rum. Ia 1870 Anoka had not more than LOCO
inhabitants now a fair and low estimate is
5000, and with its street cars, electric lights,
and other metropolitan paraphernalia, the city
incorporated in 1873 has an air of activity i'm
pressive and surprising.
