Wood Ashes for Orchards.

No more profitable use OF ashes can
be made than in apple or other fruit
orchards. 1t is estimated that every
bushel OF hardwood ashes is worth at
least twenty five cents, as they contain
slick, phosphate and carbonate OF lime,
magnesia, oxides of iron and manga-
nese, and variable proportions of pot
ash and soda Most OF tho alkaline
matter is in the state OF a carbonate,
while smaller proportion OF it is com
bined with the slick. On account OF
the scarcity OF wood ashes in many sec
tions to supply the demand they are
brought from long distance, involv-
ing heavy expense for transportation,
and the quality is often inferior A
mixture OF ~ pounds Of lime, 16 pounds
OF soda ash and ~ pounds OF fine ground
phosphate rock is equally as good as
wood ashes to use on the land, and acts
In similar manner; besides costing
less. Wood ashes OF good quality
are not to bo had in sufficient quantity.

do some fast running, and even then
some OF them suffered from saber
strokes. A man by the name of Rogers,
OF Craven's command, from Mcdonald
County, became tired out in running
and sought safety by hiding In some
thick underbrush. He had not been in
hiding long before one ef Roif's Arkan-
sas troopers sought the samo place OF
refuge. Rogers thought the man was
Union Homo Guard, and that he was
looking for him; therefore he brought
his gun to his shoulder Tho other
man did the same, but fortunately both
guns missed fire. Both men then ad-
vanced with clubbcd guns, which in the
collision were broken and fell from
their hands. Rogers then proposed
that they fight it out with their fists,
which Reif 5 man agreed to.
They fought until both of them were
completely exhausted, md while lying
side by side on the ground painting
from the severe struggle Rogers re-
marked that he could whip any Union
man in Lyon army.

take me for Union manp Why, be-
long to Captain Reifs company"
"The thunder you do" says Rogers.

we made nice fools Of ourselvesP"
OF course then they made friends,
and, waiting until night, made their
way to the main army on Crane Creek.
The writer OF this was at Rains
headquarters when they came in. Both
men were terribly bruised; their eyes
were nearly closed; their, faces were
swollen and OF purple color. o.
We were all sorry for the poor fel-
lows, but on hearing their account OF
the fight the thing seemed so ludicrous
We laughed until the tears rolled down
our cheeks. But the chief actors in
the comedy did not appreciate our
mirth; on the contrary, as they cx-
pressed it, it was far too serious a mat
ter for joke. st Louis Republic.

FARMERS TELEeRAPH.


How Some Ertcrprising Fricht htRanuera
Make Rural LIE fntercstings y =
We have something here In Lenawee
County, with which farmers generally
are not familiar. 1t is farmers tele-
graph line; not one OF them, but three.
The one known as the commercial tele-
graph line is the oldest and longest 1t
is organized under State charter and
runs through Holloway, & Tecumseh.
Clinton and to Adrian, and together
with its looping back and forth to farm
ers' houses contains about seventy
five miles OF wire. The line goes into
about seventy-five different dwellings,
stores and post-ofIices where tho farm
ers do most of their trading. 1t also
runs into three depots in the county;
two central telephone offices, and n
number Of doctors offices. On the line
are about 175 operators. The line has
been built and is owned by the farmers
who have the use of it. The line is un-
der the care of n manager elected at
the annual meetings of the stockhold-
!ers, and money for keeping their line
in repair is raised by tax on the
shares owned by the stockholders. The
expense OF building was light and the
tax has never been over two dollars n
year for each instrument. Theye are
from one to four operators in every
house. consisting mostly Of the youn-
ger members of the family, even the
children taking hold of it and becom-
ing expert in short time. 1t is easy
to learn, all except old people getting
so they can use it in few weeks.
Farmers, you do not know, neither
can you imagine what 1t is worth to be
connected with your neighbors and the
towns in your county by means of n tel
egraph wire. You probably think you
would rather have the telephone, but
that is mistake. With the telephone
you know little what is going on around
you, but with telegraph you have all
that is said, and it brings the farmers

the binder, the clock, or the sewing
machine. They wonder how any one
ever got along without it. You may
think l am putting this pretty strong,
but those along our line would part
with their clocks or their self binders
quite as quick as they now would with
the telegraph. There are two other
lines running through Tecumseh; one
known as the Ridgeway and Britton,
and the other as the Macon line, All
three lines are growing very fast, and
it will not be long before this whole

The Krupp Works at Essen.

From the last report of Krupps es-
tablishment at Essen 1t appears that in
1888 there were only niue workmen,
and in 1913 seventy-four. In July,
1883, the establishment employed 20.-
960 men, OF whom IS. 626 were at Es-
sen. Including the families OF the
workmen they support u population OF
70, 800 souls, OF whom "a, 1893 lived in
houses provided by the firm. There
are at Essen l,195 furnaces OF various
construction. 2S6 boilers, 92 steam
hammers Of from 100 to 10000 kilos,
$40 steam engines. with a total OF 27.-
900 horse power, 1,724 different ma
chimes, and 36l cranes. OF coal and

CHINESE BURIAL PLACES.
Queer Modes of Sepulture Practiced II
the Celestlal Country.

Queer Modes of Sepulture Practiced In
the Celestial Country.
The dead are for the most part
buried, not as with us, in ground set
apart for that purpose (though one fire.
quently lights upon cemeteries duly
chosen with regard to their lucky"
position). but they are simply laid
down anywhere and everywhere. Few
things strike the traveller more than
the Chinese mode OF sepulture. Burial
mounds and cotiins-the latter some-
times exposed in all their hideous bare
ness, at other times wrapped up in
mating, like large chests of tea-meet
the eye at every turn. The Chinaman,
as is well know, maintains sacred
reverence for the spot where his rela-
tives, and especially his ancestors, have
been buried, and for his native locality
as the eligiously-desired place of his
own ultimate sepulture. Whatever,
then, interferes with the sacredness of
the spot, and with the ministering SER
vices of the wind and water spirits"
is looked upon as anathema. Railways
There is no denying the fact. But
there is also no denying that the rever-
ence of the average Celestial for the
graves OF his ancestors is only second
to the reverence for the almighty dol
lar. This has been proved times with
out number in the neighborhood
of the treaty ports where the
foreigner has erected his own
'uneanny" abodes, which frequently
interfered with tho "Fongshuin
OF burial places, or, as was often the
case, necessitated the removal of the
burial mounds or coffins; but a few dol
lars to the representative OF the family
almost invariably smoothed the diff
Guilty. In country, then, like China,
where there are fertile plains of vast
extent, and which, therefore, present
| few engineering difficulties; in coun-
try where the cheapest labor in the
world exists in an inexhaustible supply
labor which, from the wonderful apti-
tude for acquiring proficiency inborn in
| every Chinaman, would soon become
skilled labor-the sum as which the
Chinese assess the damage to the graves
OF their ancestors would add but small
amount to the mileage cost of the iron
roads. 1t may be remembered that a
few years ago railway about eight
miles In length was laid down between
Shanghai and Woo-Sung, near the
mouth OF the ng-tse-Kiang 1t sue
ceeded extremely well,-so well, in
fact, that the provincial authorities be-
came alarmed lest the success might be
used MS precedent and an argument
for further construction, and it was
bought from the British house which
had constructed it; and then, to the
horror of the foreign community, the
rails were torn up and shipped to For
mosa, on the shores of which they lie
rusting at the present moment This
railway was carried through one of the
most densely- -coffined districts came
across in China, but the "Fengshui''
opposition was easily overcome. Be-
sides, 1t is not impossible that the YER
