wOMAN'S INTUITION.



An old gentleman over seventy, came into
the city from his farm, without his overcoat.
The day turned chilly and he was obliged to
forego his visit to the fair.
To friend who demonstrated with him
for going away from home thus unprepared,
he said: II thought it was going TO be warm;
my wife told me to take my overcoat, but
wouldn't Women have more sense than
men anyway
A frank admission.
Women's good sense is said 10 come from
intuition; may it not be that they are more
close observers of little things. One thing
is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on
the head, in all the ordinary problems of
life, more frequently than the lords of crea-
ton.
According to DR. Alice Bennett, who re
Gently read paper on Bright's disease be

persons subject TO bilious attacks and sick
headaches, who have crawling sensations,
like the flowing of water in the head, who
are tired all the time and have unexplained
attacks of sudden weakness, may well be
suspected of dangerous tendencies in the
direction of Brights disease"
The veteran newspaper correspondent,
10 Howard, of the New York Press, in noting
this statement, suggests: POSSIBLY Alice is
correct in her diagnosis, but why doesn't

A Mistaken Idea in Regard to Fer
tilizers.


tilizers.
Homestead.
Occasionally we find farmer well
posted on general farm topics, and
very successful in his special lines of
farming, who is badly informed, or
rather not informed at all, in regard
to commercial fertilizers. Farmers
who own rich alluvial soils, or black
prairie soils, or even some Of the bet
ter clay lands, have an idea that ina
ture," as they term it, will preserve
the fertility of the soil if a rotation of
crops is pursued, and we put back on
the farm all the manure that is manu-
featured about the barnyard. Many
of them entertain the idea that in
growing a crop of clover for instance,
"nature" puts more plant food into
the soil than the crop takes out of it,
and that all we need to do TO MAIN
tain or restore soil fertility is to grow
crop of clover every three or four
years. 1t is not an ignorant class OF
farmers alone that are thus short
sighted, but many of those who SET
themselves up as authority on vari-
Gus farm topics, and even go about
the country to instruct farmers al
their institutes, have some powerful
ly erroneous ideas about the best
methods of keeping our lands pro-
ductive. The trouble is they don't
know or understand the difference
there is between the different ele
ments Of plant food; and because q
plant absorbs or takes up through its
roots one element, they conclude
without further investigation of the
subject that mature" will supply
everything needed if crop rotation
and cultivation are conducted as they
should be.
Now the air furnishes some ele
ments of plant food and the soil 9th
ers. 1t is all proper enough to assis
atmospheric fertilization, and thi
we do mostly by cultivation of plants
but the mineral elements of plant
must come from the soil itself, ant
no crop rotation or the blowing in 0
green crops will add an ounce O
mineral plant food to the soil. Blu
they then ask us why it is soil is rich
er always aftera clover crop is plowe,
in. Well, it is only richer in certain
elements, principally nitrogen or am
monia. 1t is true larger amount {
potash may be found in the surfac
soil after a crop of clover has bee
grown there before, but this potas
has been furnished by the soil-ha
been brought up from the subsoil b
means of running tap roots, and thi
process has not increased the amour
of potash in the soil a particle, it hs
only removed it from the subsoil an
deposited it in the surface soil. 7
