Corn has been doing well and since
the soaking rain of last week is grow
ing rapidly.

The government report for August
for Redwood county makes wheat av-
erage 1913 bushels of oats and 81 5
bushels of corn.
All wheat examined is No. l, but
much less straw than last week. I
think oats to be generally plump but
some stood very low.
Harvest and stacking wages have
been from SIS week to 81 per day.
There are more men than jobs now,
and wages have come down with a
run. If a farmer pays 81 per day he
pays better wages than he gets him
self.

Once Was Enough.

There is q certain judge in Chicago
who rather prides himself ON his vast
and varied knowledge Of law. The 9th.
er day he was compelled to listen to a
case that had been appealed from JUS
tice of the peace. The young practition-
er who appeared for the appellant was
long and tedious. He brought in all the
elementary textbooks and quoted the
fundamental propositions of law. AT
last the judge thought it was time to
make an effort to hurry him up.
''Can't we assume" he said blandly,
'sthat the court knows little law it
self2''
"That's the very mistake made in the
lower court, " answered the young man.

Basic STAG.


Compared with Other Sources Of Phos-
\ phoric Acid.
It may be well to explain once more
what basic Stag is, since considerable il
being said about it. Basic Stag. other
wise known as .'odorless phosphate. J.
Iron phosphate" etc.. is product Of
steelmaking All iron ores contain more
or less phosphorus It tends to make
iron or steel brittle and ia therefore OBJ
jectionable. and one great problem Of the
iron maker is to remove it. The besse-
mer process of steelmaking is used chief
" on ores low in phosphorus. but about
Is years ago new process was invented
that upset all former methods. A auan.
ity Of lime is dropped into the molten
iron. This instantly unites with the
phosphorus and is held in the form Of
phosphate of lime while the liquid iron
runs off. The lime and phosphorus. with
the sand and other impurities in the ore
form thebasic Stag. It cools in the form
of huge clu1nps. and must be ground to
a fine powder before it is used as a fer
tilizer.
In this country opinions vary a. to
the real value of basic Stag Some IN.
sist that it is inferior to finely ground
South Carolina rock, while others con
slider it but little inferior to a reverted
phosphate. 1t has not yet come iuto a
very extended use in America AThe
price is high as compared with 4her
sources of phosphoric acid and our ex-
pertinent stations have not given it the
careful tests that it deserves. says The
Rural New Yorker, from the columns of
which the following is CLEANED: In
France basic Stag is valued as cheap
source of phosphoric acid the goud
grades averaging is to Is per cent Of It,
1t is especially valuable for meadows es-
tablished in low. damp lands. owing to
the 80 or 40 per cent Of lime contained
in it. Finely ground. it is scattered over
the meadows before winter at the rate
of 600 pounds per acre. with an addition
of 200 pounds of kainit. or, preferably
100 pounds of muriate of potash. In
case of deficiency of nitrogen in the soil
200 pounds of nitrate of soda or of sui
phate of ammonia should be added in
the spring. Basic Stag is principally
used on meadows However. some
farmers employ it on grain crops such
as wheat, barley. etc., and it is almost
always used in combination with pot
ash.
Basic Stag is highly regarded by Ger
man farmers. The consumption today
is about DOC. 1000 tons year in Germany.
and the price on an average $40 per ton.
analyzing Is per cent of phosphoric acid.
which means that two pounds of phos-
phoric acid in the Stag can be bought for
the price of one pound in superphos-
phites. German farmers value Stag out
side of the low price at which it fur
nishes phosphoric acid. on account of its
faculty not to be consumed too rapidly.
not to be washed beyond the reach Of the
roots in one season. but. on the contrary,
to yield most perceptible source of
plant food for two and three yeArs run
ming, which makes it's application inval-
liable in seeding down meadows. perma-
nent pastures, clover and luzern. and for
enriching the subsoil in the planting of
orchards.

The Hen In Perfect Health.

The Hen In Perfect Health.
A red comb and an active, restless dis
position indicate'a fowl that is in perfect
health and that will give good account
Of itself. The slow, fat, sleepy looking
hens if not in poor health are at least
not in good condition. A hen that lays
large number of eggs cannot afford to
be sleepy or droopy. Nature prompts
her to seek for variety Of food. Her
needs are urgent, and she has no time to
fool away sitting on the roost or lazily
lounging in q corner. The activity not
only promotes her health, but keeps her
in possession Of good appetite. She
works off the surplus fat and converts
the nitrogen and phosphates into eggs,
where she stores up all the elements
necessary to bring forth chicks. says
