be married now. The rain was falling
relentlessly. They were almost at her
street. He had decided what to do.
just before they reached Fifty
seventh street he bent forward.
"Miss Winchester, please take my
umbrella" and he held the silver
head towayd her.
How she startedl ooh, no, no;
thank you;" and she hurriedly pulled
the strap, without giving him time to
do it, and fairly sprang out of the
door. What could he do but follow?
AS he unfurled tho umbrella over
her head they were on the sidewalk,
and he said, namely:
"You mustn't spoil your gown, you
know"
"Oh, I don't care about that" she
said impatiently.
"But it's too pretty to SPOIL" he
went on. 81 like that color particu-
larly."
She looked at him curiously. Her
eyes said. 81 wonder if you remem-
ber?"-but her words were:
'Do you always notice the color of
gowns?"
81 always have of yours, he said,
simply He thought he was getting
on beautifully in his role of friend.
They were walking along Fifty y-seventh
street. She was very near him under
the umbrella. He hoped he would be
saved from saying anything that he
that he would regret afterwurd. For
tunately, it would not be much longer.
"This is very kind of you after"
She hesitated, and her voice was very
low.
"Not at all, he said in cheerful
tone. "No one could have done any
thing else"
There was a moments pause, and
then she said hurriedly:
'I'm glad of this chance to tell you
that have reproached myself a great
deal since the other day. because--"
"Oh, you needn't think of that
again; you were as kind as you could
be-" Why would she talk about it?
She went on: "You took me SO by
surprise that I'm afraid / was abrupt,

that meant to. Perhaps man never
does"
"You know" she pursued, ''you
had never given me any reason to
think you cared for me in that way,
and-I had a feeling you were speak
ing on impulse"
"Impulse !" he broke forth. ''How
could you think that? Why, I've
never had thought for anybody else
since that day we first met. Every
case I've won has been for you. I've
worked and lived just for the day when
I could speak. Impulse! Can man
feel like that and not show it? L

your pardon-I ought not to go on in

was all. You couldn't help that, of
course. 1t was my own fault. But
you needn't worry any more-it's all
right"
They were going up her steps now,
and he was holding the umbrella so
that little stream of water was trick
ling down her back. She did not
seem to even notice it. Neither OF
them spoke as he pulled the bell.
Then she turned face in which shy
ness and despair were mixed.
"But it isn't all right for mel"
He looked at her with such be-
wildered gaze that she laughed tremu-
lously. "You don't understand now,

Facts and Theories Lucidly

RancherS
EDITED BY S. NJ WOODBRIDGE, PHI. D.


. In procuring fertilizers the consumer
must consider them in dual light.
First, their commercial value, and
second, their agricultural value.
The commercial or market value OF
fertilizer depends upon the amount OF
plant food it contains, i. e.. the per cent
of nitrogen. phosporic acid and potash.
The prices of these elements depend upon
the laws of supply and demand. q s do
the prices of other staples, all OF which
vary from time to time. s-
The agricultural value Of fertilizer de-
pends upon the benefit derived from its
use-its crop-producing power. Some
times the highest priced fertilizers are OF
little or no value to particular crops and
lands. Nitrogen, the most expensive eie-
ment, consider ed from a commercial
standpoint, has been used at positive
loss, while potash, the cheapest element.
has often been found to be OF the greatest
agricultural value. From the commercial
value of fertilizer therefore no iIlation
as to its agricultural value can be made.
Professor Cook said as far back as 1854,
"Reliable Information concerning agri-
cultural values must be sought upon the
1arm-not from the guesses OF the farmers
only, but from the actual weights OF
crops, grown under known conditions
upon accurately measured areas.
when it was definitely settled tnat
plants invariably removed certain ele-
ments from the soil and certain other
elements from the air; further, these
The herald., 1895-05-26

: sair' elements were always present ana
available, the conclusion was hastily
reached that a chemist by analysis alone,
could. without seeing or knowing any
thing about field, state positively which
crop would flourish upon it or what ele-
ment must be added to make it fertile.
= Experience has shown the fallacy of
this reasoning and today no agricultural
chemist would guarantee an average crop,
even if his own analysis of an absolutely
fair sample OF the soil made him positive
that the field contained twenty times
more plant food than any harvest could
possibly remove"
Another authority wrote in 1856: 1.-The
old idea OF the practicability OF analyzing
the soil to determine what plant food is
necessary to apply is exploded. "
Consider the matter. The average
weight of a cubic foot of earth is about
900 pounds. An acre of ground contains
1880 square feet. If, therefore. we take
the weight of an acre of ground one foot
deer- we would have 4, Bot. 900 pounds, or
2, 175 lens. Suppose we should add to this
five Ioks of fertilizer. This amount would
only b. equivalent to 23-l00 OF per cent
of the whole weight OF the soil under CON
sideration. 1t must be remem bered, too.
that as a rule the smaller portion of most
fertilizegs are plant foods therefore the
amounts which chemist would have to
find wsNlld be still less than that shown
in the above calculation. suppose the
fertilizer applied was ground bone, ,assum-
ing it contained "a per cent OF phosphoric
acid, this would show an increase over
the soil analysis OF $4,000 of per cent of
phosphorc acid in the analysis, and no
chemist but the merest tyro would at
tempt to guarantee any such lntinitesi-
maliy small amounts. Thus the whole
matter of making up fertilizer t, suit
soil fiom an analysis of it is reduced to
an abssurdity.
The only practical way of ascertaining
the agricultural value of fertilizer is by
actual field trials, tor the roots of plants
can detect and gather definite elements in
soil that the most sikllful chemist
would be obliged to report as traces.

A very pale blue will be the fashionable

One OF the most important features
OF the summer mans wardrobe snouio
be at least halt dozen pairs OF white
long, to allow for deep turn-up at the
bottom. In fit they should be much
looser than the trousers OF other material,
and it is absolutely necessary that they
are heavily creased down the leg.
Double breasted coats OF rough serge
should be worn with the white duck pants,
and a negligee shirt of pale blue. With
low tan shoes and light blue socks OF SILK

young man who wears this outfit can
count upon being strictly in form.
With informal dress OF this kind gold
jewelry should be avoided. Silver shirt
studs and silver link cuff buttons are the
proper thing. This should be welcome
news to most people, as Crnamentation
in silver costs but little, whereas the
gold is as dear as ever. There is no de-

The Army Worm

There has been no moIe exciting con-
test since DR.. Tanner attempted to starve
himself than the watching of the pro-
gress OF the army worm upon the citrus
trees that were immured with mixture
OF tar and glycerine. Indeed, excitement
would run to high fever when one would
watch them pass by the poisoned bait at
the base CT tree, crawl slowly up, per-
haps three feet OF the trunk, only to have
to recede because of the barrier OF every
day coal oil tar softened with q little
sweet glycerine. 1t was astonishing how
after their trip up and down the trunk,
they would attack the bait which they
had disdainfully passed by on their up
ward journey, and then keel ever and
give up the ghost. This preventive of
this pest has been successful IN the high

it is certainly time that the public should
know what it is going to wear.
There is happy delusion widely prev
alent that the Prince OF Wales. Il. Berry
Wall or some other person creates the
fashions. and apropos of this, the origin
of the colored shirt is attributed to the
prince in the following way: lie was
out hunting and. being caught in ter
rifle rainst0rm, sought the shelter of
poor farmer house. The prince was
soaked to the skin, and it was quite nee.
essary that he should have a change of
clothing. The farmer fitted him out as
well as he could and in the way of
shirt could only offer him what is COM
monty called blue and white jumper.
This the prince donned. and few min
utes later number of his attendant no
blemen rushed into the place in anxious
search for his royal highness. They all
noticed the blue and white shirt. and
the next day each and every one of them
ordered several dozen colcred shirts OF
their respective haberdashers. This Is
the way the fable ran, and whether 1t
contained any truth can only be sur
missed.
While the English people wear what the
prince wears, and the America people ape
the English styles to a certain degree
the prince is largely governed by what
his haberdashers and tailors say. They
tell him what the proper Thing will be.
