Economical Use Of Commercial Fertilizers.
The economical use Of commercial
fertilizers is one Of the most difficult
problems with which farmers have TO
deal. as in many cases these are the
Cheapest fertilizers that can be obtained.
while in other cases the money paid for
them might as well be thrown away.
saws Professor Tracy ina recent bulletin.
Commercial fertilizers contain the three
necessary clements Of plant food in some
definite proportions. but il is 50 seldom
that particular crop and field require
these elements in exactly the proportions
in which they are found in any one Of
she staple brands. that it is difficult to
decide which it is best to purchase.
While il IL simple matter to make an
analysis Of soil. and Of the crop which
we may wish 10 grow upon 1t. these
analyses tell us little as 10 what may be
the best fertilizer for us TO use. The
analysis Of the soil does not tell us It's
condition, whether the plant food it con-
tains is in available form. or anything
of the mechanical condition of the soil
Plant food in the soil may be availa-
ble for one plant while it is not so for
another. and. for some reason which we
are unable to explain. most plants grow
best in a soil containing certain available
elements far in excess Of the amounts
consumed in growth. 1t is known that
an abundance OF nitrogen is necessary TO
produce q vigorous growth: that potash
is necessary for the production of the
woody parts Of the plant. and that phos-
phoric acid is largely consumed in the
production OF the seeds: but in order to
produce the best results these elements
should be furnished to the soil in differ
enf proportions for different plants. and
these proportions are by no means those
which are found in the plants themselves.
What these proportions are the chemist
cannot tell Us. and we can learn only by
experiment.

Exciting Incidents In a Chair Car of
a WABASH Train.

KANSAS CITY, April 12.-One
of the chair car passengers of the
Wabash train, due here last night,
suddenly jumped from the seat
when the train was about forty
miles out, aud, after yelling at the
top of his voice that the car was
full of train robbers, dove headirst
through a window of the car. A
fellow passenger grabbed him by
the legs and held on Hntil the con-
ductOr came TO his assistance. The
man was all out OF the car, except
his feet, and it was with considera.
BILE difficulty that he was drawn in
again. To the conductor he said
that he was a preacher living at
Moberly. He had fallen asleep
about forty miles this side OF st.
LOUIS and dreamed that train rob-
bers bad taken possession OF the
train. His wounds were not seri
GUS, and he was able TO leave the
tram at MOberly without assistance.
In the same car were a farmer and
his grown son, bound tor Kansas.
After leaving the little station east
of Moberly the train began to run
forty miles an hour. The boy got
up in his sleep, walked out to the
rear platform, and stepped of the
train. He was not even scratched.

protests of the ministers, induced

Why do Working People Quarrel SO7

The active class of society may
be roughly divided into three parts
namely, the capitalists, the farm
ers, and that generally termed
working people. Capitalists as
rule incline to favor each others
enterprises, aud if they do not co
operate refrain from antagOnism
Hence their almost lnvarlable sue
cess.
Farmers, who as class unite
more than any other, both labor
and capital, are largely unitary
their most powerful organization
the Grange, adapting as their rule
Of action st. Angustlne's apothegm
of ain essentials unity, 10 non
essentials liberty, IN all things
charity" Hence they are general
ly successful In all their political,
economical, and social plans, such
as, for instance, the obtaining a
Cabinet Minister to protect Their
interests, the oleOmargarine law
and especially protective tariff laws
to foster their products, and CO
operative stores and mutual III
surance organizations TO ecOno
mize their Disbursements.
But those who are generally
known as working people seem to-.
much to adopt the opposite policy
of distressing their comrades and
cautiously to criticise every at

Influenced by selfish if not pre-
datOry motives, instead Of con

DANVILLE, VA, April ia
dispatch from Critz's Depot, in
Patrick county, gives a graphic &C
count of devastating forest fire.
extending from Patrick Springs ia
Critz's, covering an area ten miles
long and three to six wide. The
IRE commenced Friday afternoon
and burned until a heavy rain
aided the men Sunday night IN
stopping it. A slight rain Friday
impeded the flames temporarily,
but they broke out fresh Saturday
and ragged with increased vigor.-
The flames, impelled by gale,
swept through the fertile valley
called Wild Cat Hollow like u
tornado, preceded by sounds like
rolling thunder, and dashed up the
mountain sides, casting a lurid
glare over the country tor miles
around, and presenting an awful
spectacle, which many of the fright
ened, simple-mined monntaineers
believed was veritable "judg
ment day" Horses, cattle aud
hogs became parslyzed from frigh t
and fell easy prey to the devour'

they wore. A large portion of the
burned district is mountain coun-
Try, sparsely settled by poor peo'

ditiOn.
Latest reports say sixty to
seventy-fye head of cattle, eight
or ten horses aud over two hun
dred hogs we're burned to DEATH
1t is estimated that one hundred
dwellings were destroyed. Every
vestige OF fencing in the track OF
the fire Is gone. One man is known
to have been burned to death, and
four others are reported miss

yet to come. The damage cannot
yet be estimated, but it will
amount to many thousands of dol

A Remarkable Escape.

Miss LIZZIE Watt had a narrow
escape from Instant death In Nolde
& Co.'S stocking mandatory, Read
ing, Pa, just before the close OF
working hours Wednesday evening.
While leaning ont of a third story
window, looking at the clock IN the
sleeple of st. Pdul's Roman CathO.
Inc Church on North Ninth street,
she suddenly lost her balance and
fell out of the window. She was
savel by a hairs breadth, her toes
catching hold at the window-sash
and suspending her long enough to
enable several of the other girls
employed 10 the establishment to
come TO her assistance and drag her
back by her limbs. Afterwards
she tainted, and did not regain
consciousness for quite while.
Miss Watt seems to be peculiarly
fortunate, as she was formerly en-
pl0yed IN the silk mill and was one
of those who lett the mill about
twenty minutes before it was de-
stroyed by the cyclone of January 3.
