Sword and shield. (Clinton, Miss.) 1885-1888, 1885-03-07

One Of the methods resQrted to by
saloon keepers to attract custom is to
announce a "free lunch" In Chica-
go not long ago a hungry man with
out money availed himself of the
s'freelunch'' invitation, andproceed
ed to satisfy his appetite until the
proprietor noted that, while eating
heartily, he ''failed to order liquor Of
any sort to wash down" the food he
consumed, whereupon he was uncere-
moniously kicked into the street.
He had his liquor selling assailant ar
rested, and the Chicago court has
thrown a shadow over the ''free-
lunch" saloon business by deciding
that a liquor shop which advertises a
free lunch is to be taken literally at
its word. and that the partakers are
in nowise legally bound to order
drinks which are not free. 1t is un-
derstood that these liquor shop ''free
lunches" are usually so highly seas
oned as to create in the partakers a
thirst which would render a call for
drinks well-nlgh irresistible. If the
Chicago decision should lead to the
abandonment of the ''free lunch" an
nouncements altogether it will take
from the saloon system one of its de-
ceptive guises by which new victims
are ensnared.-Ex.

DO Not Waste the Supcrphosphate.

Farmers are not careful in the use of
superphosphate, rs they apply it, as
q rule, to the exclusion of many SUBJ
stances that are really more desirable.
Phosphates are sometimes moro i'm
portant than other substances combined
in fertilizers, but the phosphates are not
complete fertilizers when used alone,
and therefore il is wasteful to apply
large quantities in order to get good
results, such results often arising from
the heterogeneous matter which is usually
sold with the phosphates, especially
tho.e prepared from bones. Super
phosphate dissolved bones) seldom
contains over fifteen per cent. of phos-
phoric ao;d. and in order to procure
this percentage of phosphoric acid the
farmer buys, in connection with 1t,
about sevcnty-five per cent. of sui
plate of lime Ordinary land plas-
teri, which is n very cheap COM
modify. Phosphates are no more
suitable for tho growth Of plants, when
used alone; than would be n single ell
ement of food when exclusively fed to
animals. As it Is usually essential to
furnish potash and nitrogen to some
plants, as well as phosphoric acid, the
use of the latter alone is wasteful and
expensive. The plants may not re-
quire the phosphate, preferring somc-
thing else perhaps, and 1t is consc-
quently waste of superphosphatc to
apply it at such times. IL q given
crop, for instance, removes fifty pounds
of phosphoric acid from the soil, an
expense for greater quantity would
be unnecessary.
II the amount usually invested in
phosphates could be divided in such
manner as to supply not only phos-
phoric acid, but also potash and
nitrogen, the application of the
sum devoted to the purchase of
the fertilizer would be more
wisely invested, the yield greater, and
the returns more satisfactory. There
is no true economy in the method of
resorting to the use of aparticular kind
of fertilizer while emitting the use of
others equally as important. II we de-
sire heavy crops we must feed well,
aud TO feed we'll means not SO much in
quantity as in variety, and il we do not
use the same Judgment in carefully Sc
Letting plant food as we do in selecting
the food of animals we will learn that
we have been wasteful, while suppos-
.ng our efforts productive of the best
results. Now that the fall seeding of
wheat is in progress in some ct;ons
Inc use of fertilizers should be done

A story is told of the captain #
a steamer which in war times was
transporting some troops down south.
On board was an Ohio regiment,
NEST of whose members had never
before seen the ocean nor a full-rigged
ship, and to them the trip was full of
wonders. Perhaps the officers were
pestered with needless questions any
how, they began to hedge and gave
some curt replies to the inquiring sol
der boys. A group of warriors had
been curiously watching a flock of
gulls that were following the ship,
and among themselves disputed vigor-
ously about the cause. Finally a
young and audacious lieutenant was
deputised to ask the captain about il.
With some trouble he discovered that
officer in hiding, enjoying a cigar and
respite from his inquisitivo cargo.
Captain" said the recruit, "are these
gulls here when there isn't any vessel
around ?" 81 cannot tell you, sir"
volleyed the captain, 81 was never
here without vessel, sir."-Ex.
