To the Public.

The Bituminons Lime Rock Paving and I'm
provement Company take this opportunity of
informing the citizens and property owners of
this city that the pavement laid on Main street
between First and Third streets is not Bitumi-
nous Lime Rock, butts an artificial mixture and
not laid by the company. We make this an
nouncement for the purpose of disabusing the
minds of those who entertain the belief that
this pavement was laid by this company and
are disposed to criticise our material as being
soft and not suitable for the streets of this city
The only Bituminous Lime Rock Pavement
here was laid by this company, and extends on
Main street from south line OF Third to Ninth
street, and on Spring street from Temple to
Ninth streets. Biturlinous Lime Rock does
not become soft and mushy under the heat of
the sun, but always remains firm and elastic.
We have already laid on the streets of this city
about five hundred thousand square feet of this
pavement to which we take pleasure in invit.
ing inspection. Very Respectfully yours,
BITUMINoUs LIME Rock PAVING AND IMPROVE
MENT Co.

who was recently taken to San Quentin
where he will spend three years for bur.

no doubt but that Glass was one of the

AMUSEM ENTS.
ssThree of n Kind, at the Grand
Last Night.

Salsbury's Troubadours had a change
come over the spirit Of their dreams last
night. The play which has been run.
ming all the week, and which gave such
eminent satisfaction, The Humminq
BIRD, was replaced by Three of a Kind
1t Is very broad burlesque, full of gags
and funny business. It affords ample
opportunity to Miss Nellie Nc.
Henry to make herself exceedingly droll
and also to disl lay her talent in the song
and dance line. The full house, the up.
roarious laughter and the deafening an.
plause from all sections of the audience
attest the popularity of the new play.
At the matinee the Humming Bird will
hum again, and the season will close to-
night with Three of a Kind,

Land and Water.

As the final results of his long 70.
search on the height of the land and
the depth of the ocean Mr.. John Mur-
ray estimates the mean height of the
land of the globe at 2 252 feet He
finds that 81 per cent. lies between
the sea level and a height of 5000
feet. The mean depth of the ocean is
H. $40 feet; only AZ per cent of its
waters lie between the surface and
depth OF 5000 feet. while Sc per cent
of the ocean waters are between
depths of 5000 and IS 900 feet, This
total area of the dry land Mr.. Mlr-
ray makes to be 55 900. 900 square
miles, while that of the ocean is lS1,-
POO, 900 square miles, The bulk Of
the dry land above the sea is %, 80
900 cubic miles, and the volume OF
the waters of the ocean 1928, 800. 900
cubic miles. The amount of matter
carried from the land each year in
suspension and solution he estimates
at 8 cubic miles; it would thus take
S $40. 900 years to transport the whole
Of the solid land down to the sea
Should the whole of the solid land be
reduced to one level the surface Of
the earth would be covered by ali
ocean with a uniform depth of about

N 'ANURiNG ON GRASS.
Two Tor mulas Which VIII Furnish An
Needed Plant Foods.

Ground bone is the most common
source of \ 'hospholic acid for grass.
Potash is usually obt;iined in ashes
and potash ats. Wood ashes are a
most valuable fertilizer for grass lands
and other crops, if supplied in sum
cient quantitias Unleached Canada
wood ashes contain s to 6 per cent Of
potash, II to p per cent. OF phosphoric
acid, 80 TO S5 per cent Of lime. be-.
sides small q uantiiies Of every other
essential mineral element required by
crops. Hence wood d-ashes are especial
ly fitted for use as general fertilizer:
To be sure, they contain no nitrogen,
but their lime favors rapid decom.
position Of the vegetable matter in the
soil, thus making some nitrogen avail
able. The good effect OF wood-ashes
is, therefore, greater on moist grass
lands rich in vegetable matter than
on dry lands. Dry lands are
benefited more by putting on some
potash salt, such as muriate Of potash
or kainit, with some dissolved phos.
phate. A good rule is to apply these
compounds SO as to furnish four parts
Of actual potash to one part OF actual
phosphoric acid for the grass crop. A
good quality Of unbleached wood
ashes supplies potash and phosphoric
acid in about these proportions. The
following formulas will furnish the de-
sired proportions Of potash and phos-
phoric acid:
FORMULA No. 1.
Common unbeached wood ashes 800 pounds
Fine bone meal 100 pounds
Contains-6 TO Z per cent. Of potash, Ia to p;
per cent. phosphoric acid.
FORMULA NO. ?.
Average cottonhull ashes..... ....l, $50 pounds
Fine bone meal. 800 pounds
Contains-potash Is to % per cent, phos.
phorc acid to per cent.
If dissolved bone is used employ
about the same quantity as of bone
meal. The phosphate in the dissolved
bone will be more quickly available
but there won't be quite as much of it
as in pure bone. The bone meal will
also supply 8 to per cent. or more Of
nitrogen. The grass crop usually
pays for an application Of nitrogen,
and the addition of 100 pounds Of
nitrate of soda, sulphate of ammonia
or dried blood will add to the value
of the above formulas or others. Fish
waste. tankage, refuse animal matter
of any kind, will also furnish nitrogen
and some phosphate, and composted
with ashes and bone meal covered
with loan to absorb any ammonia),
will make good dressing for grass.
The usual plan is to furnish much
more phosphoric acid and less potash,
but Dr. Goassmann and others believe
that this is wrong, and tits an opinion
that we coincide in. The potash salti
are better than ashes for dry lands,
because they absorb a good deal Of
moisture from the air and make the
soil more retentive. Farm and Home.

1t is laid down. says the author Of

horn grows more rapidly in warm, dry
climates than in cold wet ones; in
healthy. energetic animals than IN
those which are soft and weakly; dur
ing exercise than in repose; in young
than in old animals. Food. labor and
shoeing also add their influence, while
the seasons are to some extent coll

hoof In winter it wilons becomes
softer and grows but little; in sum.
mer it is condensed. becomes more
rigid. concave and resisting, is ex.
posed to severer wear and grows
more rapidly This variation is pro-
vision of nature to enable the hoof to
adapt itself to the altered conditions
it has to meet-hard horn to hard
ground. soft horn to soft ground.
In this way is accounted for the in
fluence Of locality upon the shape of
the foot On hard. dry ground the
foot Is dense. tenacious and small
with concave sole, and little but
firm frog; in marshy regions it is large
and spreading, the horn soft and
easily destroyed by wear the sole thin
and flat, the frog an immense spongy
mass which is badly fitted to receive
pressure from slightly hardened soil.
In dry climate we have an ami
NAL small, compact. wiry and vig-
orous. travelling on a surface which
demands a tenacious hoof and not one
adapted to prevent sinking; in the
marshy region we have large, lynn

requirements Is a foot designed to
travel on soft, yielding surface.
