William l.. Strickland, claiming to be from New
York, was arrested at Chester Saturday night for
attempting to pass bogus checks on Merchants
Pollard and Hadley. He claimed that his mother
had just died at st Paul, and that he had sent IN
his money to the commercial agency which he
represented the day before He offered TO give a
check ON a New York bank. 1t appears that he
has been working the same game all over the
country. Several kilograms asking TO have him
held have been received since he was arrested.
He tried without succfss to operate at Pructors-
vile recently.

houses were standing in the town-one of
them in the garden of the place where the

Unleached Wood Ashes.

Canada unleached wood ashes are usu-
ally guaranteed to contain per cent. of
potash. AS stated by the chemist of the
New Jersey experiment station in bull
letin recently issued, the average compo-
sition of eleven samples Of ashes previ-
ously analysed is: Phosphoric acid, It's
per cent; potash, 5.58 per cent, and
lime $500 per cent. That ashes are not
a uniform product is evident from the
variations shown in six other samples by
an analysis that is given. The selling
price of five of these samples is stated in
the bulletin at $18, $3.50, $13, $14 and
$3.50 per ton, respectively. But two of
the samples were as good as the average,
nor is the highest selling price attached
to the best sample.
The amount of plant food elements
contained in an average sample of ashes,
according to the bulletin referred to, can
be bought for about 50 per ton. 1t is the
general experience, however, that in GER
tain soils the agricultural effect of the
phosphoric acid, potash and lime is
greater in wood ashes than in proper
tionate mixture Of the same elements in
other forms. This is believed to be due
to the special form Of combination Of
the ingredients in ashes, which, in addi-
ton to tlltir direct benefit, exert fa-
vorable mechanical effect upon the soil.

@ Increase the Supply Of Manure.

The supply of manure may be easily
doubled by gathering up the wastes Of
the barn yard and the swamps and other
coarse matters, which are increased in
value by mixture with the manure in
the yards, or by composing with lime.
Abundance of absorbent matters are re-
quired to hold the liquid manure and
prevent waste of it. The best of all abb
sorbents is dry swamp muck. 1t will
hold twice it's weight of liquid, and, if
properly used, saves the almost unavoid-
able loss of the liquid manure which will
occur under the most careful manage
ment without the use of plenty of abb
sorbents. Thousands of farmers pur-
chase costly fertilizers who might by a
little foresight and labor gather as much
fertilizing matter in the fall and prepare
it for use through the winter as would
amount in value to the cost Of the fertil-
izers they buy every year.-American

Benefits from Drainage.

BY removing superfuous water from
the soil a way is made for the air to aid
in decomposing the organic substances,
which become the food of the plants,
and ingredients which are hurtful to
plant growth, and which cannot other
wise be removed, are carried off by rain.
Not only does the removal of extra
moisture make the land drier, but it
allows the soil to have the full benefit of
the suns heat, rendering it warm and
congenial to plant growth and ready to
benefit by the least shower of rain, at
the same time raising the temperature
of the surrounding atmosphere. Drain
ing also makes soil of a stiff or tenacious
nature more friable and better prepared
to receive the fbrous rootlets Of plants,
and by the action of the atmosphere
hard pans or crusts are broken and pull
verified, so that the roots may enter
them, a result which could not other
wise be obtained without subsoiling or
trenching,
