ABOUT 1n11N MANURING.
When Hunaas Is Lacking, a Catch Crop

When HunaGs Is Lacking, Catch Crop
Plowed Under VIII Prove Satisfactory.
Green manuring is good thing un-'
der certain conditions. Wherever the
soil is deficient in humus it may be prac-
ticed to advantage. Usually we find d
deficiency Of vegetable9aatter in gravel
ly and light soils. As rule, no regular
crop should be rlowed under. Catch
crops of rye, buckwheat, clover and the
like may often be used to advantage.
For instance, field upon which corn is
raised this year, if the soil is light and
lacks humus, might be sowed to rye
| just before the last cultivation, OF, if
the corn is cut early for ensilage, wheat
| or rye may Es drilled in without the
ground being plowed, In some parts Of
the country very favorable results are
secured from sowing crimson clover aft
er the last cultivation. We notice that
in some localities this practice has not
been successful.
The best crop to pillow under is COM
mon red clover. Cut the first crop for
hay, leave the stubble to start, and
when headed out pillow it under AS
stated above, it is seldom a good prac-
tice to pillow under a good crub simply
for the nlanurial and physical benefits
received. On land that is already full
Of vegetable matter a large growth Of
rye or buckwheat plowed under when
green is very likely to sour the land,
but in case it is plowed under it would
be we'll to add dressing of lime to cor
rect the aeis1ity
Ii the green plants plowed under are
the result of catch or intermediate
crop, then pillow whenever the ground
has to be prepared for the crop which
has to be harvested, having no reference
to the maturity of the manurial crop.
In the last week or two of the growth
of plants vast quantity of valuable
growth is developed, while the per cent
of water is materially decreased; hence
there is less danger of souring The land
from blowing under fairly mature crops
than from blowing under immature
crops.
A liberal dressing of barn manures is
likely to DO far more beneficial than
crop plowed under, especially if it is
one that is not a nitrogens gatherer
Rye, buckwheat and the like bring no
plant food to the soil: They only serve
as digesters--that is, they prepare the
food for the other plants which are to
follow-while cloyer and other legumi-
nous plants not only digest and make
more available the mineral matter in the
soil, but they also bring positive addi-
ton of nitrogen to the soil through the
action of the living organisms on their
roots.
Any crop may follow after blowing
under green manures, although wheat
or rye is likely to succeed best. A sec
ond clover crop plowed under about the
LIST of September is most satisfactory
beginning for successful wheat crop.

matter of form; and so it was.
He was given two short hearings. No
one was allowed to plead for him, and
within two days of entering the fortress
he was sentenced to be sshot.
At eleven O'Clock on the Goth of August
his prison door was opened. He assumed
that he was to be set at liberty and start
Immediately to join his wife and children
in Nuremberg. Instead of this, however,
he was notified that he was to be shot at
two O'Clock, leaving him barely time to
write few letters to his family and
most intimate friends.
The three short hours between the an
nouncement of his sentence and the put
ting it into execution were of no use to
him, nor would they have been had the
electric telegraph been at his disposal
The court-martial decision was a sur
prise to his friends as well as to himself
in fact, to very one excepting the French
military authorities, who were acting
under instructions from Paris. The good
people of the town begged mercy for him
at the knees of the French commandant,
ignorant of the fact that this officer was
acting not as judge, but as executioner.
AT the appointed hour. John Palm was
placed upon peasant cart and escorted
beyond the walls of the town under a
strong military escort. The whole garri-
son of the place was assembled to look on
at the killing of this plain every day little
bookseller of Nuremberg. No people in
Germany are more kindly and peace-l low
ing than those of this particular neigh
borhood; but even these good people gave
the French officers reason to fear that an
attempt might be made to rescue him,
and that therefore it was prudent to
make as great a display of force as posi-
BILE.
John Palms wrists were tied behind
his back, and six French soldiers stepped
forward, aimed, and fired Five of the
shots missed him; the sixth brought him
to the ground with cry. of pain. He
struggled to his feet to receive another
volley, which again brought him to the
ground, crippled and helpless, but notyyet
dead. Two soldiers now ran quickly for

kets against his head, and finished the
task with disgusting thoroughness.
The story of John PALMS execution
went from mouth to mouth all over Ger
many, kindling into! patriotic fire the
smouldering embers of German nation
ality. Even the court Of Prussia was
made to feel that there was in Germany
such thing as public sentiment. There
were very many patriotic Germans who
had looked on with deep disgust as Ma
poleon encroached more and more beyond
the boundaries of France and dictated
terms more and more humiliating to
German states; but such affairs were,
after all, the business of a small number
of people, and but vaguely understood
outside of diplomatic circles. Napoleon
had upset many kings and raised up
many more; he had overthrown constitu-
tions and put new ones in their place;
but not even his statecraft could make
good in the popular mind the killing of

ecary-namely, the mortar. Arctic wom-

ance. 1t is found in Africa, where among
all negro tribes the work of grinding
grains devolves upon the women. In
the old plantation days in the United
States every farm had it's mortar and
pestle of wood for crushing hominy.
Ransacking the vegetable kingdom,
primitive womn discovered various drinks
furnished by nature. Thus the woman
of Angola is seen climbing gigantic
palm with huge calabash tied around
her neck. Tapping the tree, she suspends
the calabash so as to receive the juice,
and few hours later she takes down
the receptacle full of palm wine. In
many countries grow plants which in
their natural state are poisonous or ex-
tremely acrid The women of all these
lands have learned independently that
boiling or heating drives off the poison
Gus or disagreeable element. The remov-
al of the poisonous matter from tapioca
by means of hot water is discovery OF
savage women.
Women were the first butchers. 1t was
their business to skin and transport the
meat of the deer, elk, moose, bear and
buffalo slain by their husbands. They
invented pemmican and the process OF
preparing it, On the plains of the great
west the atmosphere is so dry that meat
may be cured without salt The squaws
cut the meat into thin stripes, dried it,
and beat it to a powder with sticks To
extract the marrow, they smashed the
bones with hammers of stone set in
wooden handles. Sewing up the pulver-
lied meat in sacks of buffalo hide, they
poured over it the melted marrow and
other fat. Thus was made the pemmi-
can, formerly used as rations for United
States soldiers; it was digestible and
wholesome, though ill-smelling.
PRIMITIVE COOKING METHODS.
1t goes without saying that women were
the first cooks The evolution of the Gull
nary art began with parching, as we pre-
pare popcorn or peanuts. Then came
roasting, or baking, IN pits, with hot
stones; next. mush or cruel, gridd1e
cakes and boiling in pots. Bread, except
as griddle cakes, was unknown in saw
agery One of the most important dis
coveries made by the aboriginal woman
was that of soapstone.
1t is a fact familiar enough that stones
in general crack and break when brought
into contact with heat. Soapstone is an
exception. This was ascertained by the
primitive female mineralogist. All over
Eskimo land both lamps and cooking
pots are made of soapstone 1t is rare
substance, and savages deserve much
credit for finding it. The earliest pots
had no legs, but were propped up by loose
stones One sunny day company of
savage women were chatting and chip

as necessary to happiness. In the aborigi-
nal larder it served for seasoning, but not
for preserving. No savage ever thought
of curing meat with salt; food so pre-
served is product of civilization. The
Indians dried their CLAIMS and oysters.
In Mexico, in ancient days, the best salt
was got by boiling water from saline in
pots; it was kept in cakes or balls. The
Aztec kings had monopoly of salt, so
that the Tlascalas, who kept their indie
pendence, were forced during many years
to eat their food unsalted

sometimes sEavers. Within a few hours

ESKIMO WOMEN.
Lieut. Peary on a trip across Greenland
saw an Eskimo woman carrying rough
stone for house foundation that weighed
300 pounds. 1t was slung in rope of
walrus hide across her back. The Eski-
mo women of Point Barrow carry heavier
loads than white men can. In Africa
women do all the burden bearing acting
as carriers of food and baggage on every
expedition. Prof Mason says that Atlas
ought to have been woman. If the
originator of the myth had not been a
man, we should everywhere now behold
an localized female carrying the globe on
her back in a basket.
Savage men, hunting and fishing, are
much alone and have to be quiet; hence

Prof. Mason defines civilization as "the

of unmarried females that might exist in
a community.
He tells a story of young Eskimo

Women as creators of ideas
To show what the gentler sex has ac-
complished in the wsy of invention is the
purpose of an exhibit that is being pre-
pared for Atlanta by the National Muse
UNI. 1t will include no machines or
contrivances patented by women. The
object in view is altogether different
namely, to illustrate the part which the
female of our species has taken in the
creation of the arts and industries that
underlie the structure of civilization.
That she was actually the mother OF
most of them will be demonstrated by a
series of lifelike groups of savage women
engaged in their primitive occupations
such as weaving, tailoring, shoemaking.
pottery making, basket making, skin
dressing and farming says Rene Bache
in the Washington Star.
!. 1t is at the request of the ladies of At
lanta that this exhibit is being fran ed.
The groups are designed to illustrate the
subject matter of book recently pub
lished by Prof. Otis Il. Mason of the
National Museum, entitled Woman
Share in Primitive Culture. y" The pro-
fessor's opinion is that women are not
sufficiently appreciated in this world and
that they do not receive credit for tenth
part of what they have done in the build
ing of civilization. While men have
hunted and fought, they have been the
conservators of the elements of progress.
In fact, they are and always have been
the industrial sex.
Women were the first farmers. Even to
this day among primitive peoples they
do all the work in the fields. Before
they learned to plant they gathered fruits,
dug roots and collected seeds, especially
those of grasses, which were destined to
be transformed by cultivation and selec-
ton into. valuable cereals. Abundant
proof exists that they devised and built
the first granaries and storehouses for
provisions, to protect which they domes-
ticated the cat. Some at least of the ami
mails most useful TO mankind were origi-
nally domesticated by woman.
1t was the wife who, finding young
wolf pup in the forest, brought it home
for plaything for the children. From
the savage wolf thus introduced into
the family circle came the faithful dog,
not only guardian but beast of bur-
den, carrier of packs and drawer of
sleds. The Eskimo woman takes the
baby silver fox and feeds it until the best
time arrives for stripping it of its hide.
The Pueblo woman keeps eagles and hawks
in cages for their feathers. Every native
hut in Guiana is the abode of many
species of birds bred by the woman fol
their bright plumage.

And after that all soapstone pots had
legs.
Early women inventors were taught by
spiders, nest building birds animals that
store food, and workers in clay like mud
wasps. Their quick minds were on the
alert for hints from nature. Birds and
beasts are basketsmakers. The women
who made the first baskets were the earli-
est geometricans; the patterns they de,
| vised included triangles squares, poly
gons and cycloidal curves The designs
which they eonventionalized from nature
are eagerly copied by modern weayers
| and jewellers. From them the potter and
the architect have obtained thousand
ideas. They have become classic. The
whole body of deco ration that has come
out of the textile industry originated,
Prof. Mason says, in women's brains.
They invented colors in textiles, finding
out how to get dyes from mineral and
vegetable substances and how to fix them
by mordants. Until the discovery of coal
tar dyes the colors most commonly used
were those borrowed from savage women.
Women were the first taiIors They re-
moved the tough tendons from the backs
and legs of various animals, dried them
! in the sun, and split them into fbers.
| Thus they got thread for sewing On the
American continent they knew how to
cure and make up the skins of fishes and
reptiles, as well as of all sorts Of birds
and mammals. They prepared the hides
of crocodiles, torboises and whales. In
| Eskimo land they made an inner blouse
| from the skins of birds sewn together,
| the feathers being worn next the person.
| The only preparation through which the
| skins passed was thorough chewing on
| the wrong side These tailors of the
| gentler sex We're excellent cutters. All
over this country they understood such
operations as puckering, gathering and
| inserting cores.
| SHOEMAKERS AND ARTISTS.
| Women were the first shoemakers They
made beautiful Shoes with soles of raw
hide and uppers of dressed skin. Prof
Mason says that the woman who invent
| ed the moccasin should have statue
| by the side of Watt. The Eskimo woman
is a bootmaker. She carries part of her
equipment of tools in her mouth, using
her teeth to help various processes. The
reticule, tobacco bag, travelling case,
bandbox and packing trunk, all exist
among savages, and in North America
are made by women, chiefly from the
pelts of animals.
Women were the first ceramic artisans !;
they developed all the technique, 1.-THE
