We were both stopping at a friends

asked the Engishman if he had one.
No, haven't, he said. Why don't
you use a towel9' "A towelq ! re-

Chirdwiok and His Trousers.

ing story; "Once travelling through
France / reached Grenoble, where
found out / was almost penniless. /
managed to go up to Thonon, a few
miles from Geneva, and on my way
there thought a great deal of how
to reach Geneva. Ipassed the night
at the Lion dor, and the next morn
ing when l woke up l called for the
garcon and asked him for my trou-
sers. 1t is the custom in French ho-
tells, you know, to put outside Of
your room your shoes and clothes SO
that the following day you find
everything clean.

could not find them ! insisted and
had the landlord called up. i am
sorry, he said, but no one can tell
where your trousers are. We'll, /

the house searched over and ove.'

fully also.
The absolute necessity of soluble nitro
gen for starting growth of the potatoes
was a great surprise to me, for where
potash and phosphate alone were used
without it, the result was very little bet
ter than no manure.
The nitrate OF potash was Immediately
absorbed, and felt at the first start OF
the potato rOOtlets, while -phate OF
ammonia was most slowly avail BILE.
Although nitrogen and potash produce
a good foliage growth, yet when tubers
began to form the presence OF phOs-
phorc acid was shown to be neces-
sary. could see very little difference in
the relative effect of dissolved bone black
and precipta Ted phosphate which gives
available butnot soluble phOsDhOric acid.
There was however a perceptible advan-
tage in the sulphuric acid OF the sulphate
of ammonia cOmbina tons compared
with those of nitrate of soda, making 1T
very evident that sulphuric acid is pro-
toplasm stimulant as well as essential.
The conditions and associations OF sui
phur in the soil are the least known
though among the most important ques-
ton of agricultural chemistry.
Il has been observed that in stables
ammonia easily breaks down sulphate
of magnesia, thereby producing sulphate
of ammonia and carbonate OF magnesia,
but as far as | know it is still an un-
determined question whether the mag
nesia performs the stimulating effect on
the starch and tissue forming functions
of the tubers and fruits or whether it
is due to the easily freed sulphurlc acid
of the mineral In conclusion, [ will say
all convinced that for winter crops it
will pay to use liberal quantities OF COM
pete fertilizers on peaty Or muck as we'll
as light sandy soils. That such fertl-
lizers must have liberal percentages of
the three leading plant foods, potash,
phosphoric acid, and nitrogen in the
order named. That in growing for
quality it will pay best to use
the so per cent. su]phate potash
or double manure salt that contains sui
phate of magnesia. That dissolved
bone black is the most reliable form
of soluble and available phOsphoric acid,
and that for nitrogen | would use two
thirds sulphate of ammonia and third
nitrate of potash, if [ were to buy and
mix my own chemicals.
In making these suggestions, do not
lose sight of the fact that plants OF q
marine habit, like cabbage, will grow
probably just as we'll with the somewhat
cheaper muriates and nitrate OF soda,
as chloride does not effect their stamina.
Also that to the grains and grasses
there is very little difference in the effect
of pound of any of the essential Ter
tilizing clements: no matter what the
form if the plant gets it all in proper
season, though | believe the chemical
grown grasses more nutritious and
healthful animal food, weight for weight,
than those grown on nutriently unbal-
anced organic refuse.
Yet, to grow high. favored fruits and
vegetables of mature cellular structure
and stamina it will pay to give high cul-
ture and high feeding, with high grade

and in fact know that there is wonder
full development going on in the part we

live in. The easy-going farmers in old
Florida are still ploddiDg along in the
even tenor Of their ways willie the far
mers in new Florida are hard at work
cultivatng the soil Oh the improved
plans and are making a success OF the
same in nine cases out of ten. They are
asserting to the world the strength of
new FlOrda's resources. This class of
farmers have awakened up to their many
opportunities.
70 those who had the blues before
cotton went up in price, we say be Of
good cheer, you are living in the best
State in the whole Union. In the tobacco
belt every farmer has gold mine under
meath him il he did but know it. We wish
every farmer when he gets these 'blues"
would think for moment about what a
fine crop ofcorn he has, how easy thesweet
potatoes were made, how well the pea
nuts turned off, all with one hall the
labor many a farmer in other states
have to give their crops.
In due course OF time we will have
better home markets and railroads will
be built nearer to us that will bring us
closer and make our products more
valuable at the more distant markets,
then good bye to the middleman who
has bled us so long. We read that the
Allia nee is about to be forced to form a
trust to root these fellows out, SO far as
cotton is concerned at least. These
middlemen in the shape OF cotton eX-
changes, commission merchants and the
''future' crops are the curse to the
grower and speed the day when he will
sell direct to the manufacturer or con-
sumner
We know of a cigar firm who turn their
cigars over to outside agents, they in
turn put them in the hands of drummers,
they sell them to the merchant and they
to the consumer, and the man who does
the smoking has to foot the bills OF the
agent, drummer and merchant, when, if
the merchant would buy direct from the
manufactures the consumer would be
able to buy "a good cigar at reasonable
price instead Of having to resort to the
stone pipe and doctOred smoking to-
baccO.
Not long ago we were i'll the Darkroom
of 81 pretended, swindling commission

they were sound; and at least hall peck
was taken out OF each barrel then they
were headed up, rolled into wagon and
sent off to the man who ordered them,
and he paid for something he did not

An Idaho Town in Trouble.

Residents who have built homes
and improved their property generally
in the towns of Fry and Eaton, sub
divisions of Bonner,s Ferry, may now
be obliged to shift their property else
where, as these two additions are in
cluded in the recent allotmens of $50
acres granted by the government to
Richard Fry.
Sidney D. Waters and a representa-
tive of the townsite company were in
consultation here yesterday as to the
best plans to ameliorate the conditions
of the settlers, if Mr.. Fry insists that
they have to go, and he undoubtedly
will. He is an old Hudson Bay trap
per who settled in the Colville coun-
try in early days and married an In.
dian woman. He has a family oi
eight or nine children. Under the
recent allotment law he came into
possession of $50 acres of land, par
of it including the townsite lands re
ferred to.
1t is hoped that some arrangement
will be effected whereby the interests
of the settlers in that part of Bon
ner's Ferry can be protected .-Spo
