Fertilizer For Corn.

QUEsTfoN. What are the best proper
tions in a commercial fertilizer for corn,
and how, at what time, and what
amount would you apply it,
ANSWER All things considered the
best fertilizer on our ordinary lands for
corn should be in about the following
proportion. Cottonseed meal 600 lbs. ],
acid phosphate 1000 lbs. muriate pot
ash 80 lbs, on POO lbs, Of kainit may be
substituted for the muriate Of potash.
On lands almost destitute Of humus.
that is, which have cultivated and re-
cultivated in clean crops, we would not
venture to use more than two or three
hundred pounds to the acre, applied just
before or at planting time. The corn
crop, more perhaps than any other, is
dependent on supply Of moisture for
its best development, and it has been
found that the direct application Of conn
mercial fertilizers does not result as well
as where these have been applied to a
previous crop, and provided the applica-
ton be sufficiently heavy If the ferti-
lizer has been broadcast, as for oats or
peas the succeeding corn cropis usually

MT. George w. Hoadley, who has lately returned from a trip to Pres colt, tells a good joke on himself. He WAS invited to dine with the officers at the barracks The bill of fare in- cluded such viands as soldiers are to eat. The meal was abun- dant, but not luxurious. MT. Hoadley ate heartily and after dinner felt called upon out of pure politeness to say something in praise of it. Said he: "Gentlemen, 1 have always felt sympathetic toward the soldier. l have pitied him for the hardships l imagined he endured in the way of imrlpper and ,scant food, exposure, etc. After this dinner I shall sympa- tkize with him no more. One who feeds on the fat of the land is not a proper object of commiseratiOn."
 MT. Hoad1ey would have said the same thing if the bill of fare had been pork and beans. But his re- mark got about the camp and was mis- understood and nearly aroused a mutiny.

Anyhow the committee was admitted and one of them acting as spokesman said without any preliminary talk: "We hes rG you had dinner at the barracks yesterday"
 "Yes," replied MT. Hoadley.
 ''We heard, too, that you said that you would never sympathize with soldiers any more," continued the spokesman. MT. Hoadley admitted the co: 1ectness of the statement
 'Did you make that remark?" asked the committee, "on account of the ex- ceilent character of the food?"
 "fes," said MT. Hoadley.

Mrs. Moore said she knew there was q
woman who travelled with Moore and who
claimed to be his wife. Mrs. Moore stated
that this woman had told her that she was
not Moore's wife. She thought Moore had
left this woman In South Africa. Mrs
Moore Indignantly denied that she and
Moore "badgered" Jules Alexanderovich
out of 1900 francs In Paris. She also de-
MED that Moore's papers of appointment to
the consulate at Durham were cancelled as
the result of any complaints made regard
ing their proceedings in Paris. She said
Moore had interests in the great lakes as
well as mining interests in South Africa,
and that she owned a two-story building In
Oregon Moore had desk in his uncle,s
office in Cleveland.
Mrs. Moore repeated her story of yester-
day of the meeting with Mahon on Novem-
Der L. She again described the details of
her conduct with Mahon previous to
Moore's sudden entry. She was sure that
Moore did not rob Mahon. She averred that
Moore did not strike Mahon with the revolt
yer, but with his fist.
The Defense Rests
After lengthy cross examination, Mrs
Moore was excused and the defense rested
its case. A motion to acqult was denied.
Late in the afternoon MIR. Hill began
summing up the case for the defense He
told of his professional services in Georgia
and said he had at one time resolved never
again to take part in criminal proceed
ing.
I'm this case,r he said, my sympathy
was so profoundly and deeply aroused that
I volunteered to come here at the request of
her widowed mother to help defend the girl.

indignation at the treatment received by

After reviewing the testimony, Mr. Hill
referred emotionally to the prisoner. whom
he termed "a weeping child" and made an

instances of the rare effects of landscape
gardening were given, one of which related
to the making of a ravine into an apparent

walton, the effect having been produced by
the graduation of trees in such manner
that the tops with their foliage were onsa

many little tricks of this sort in garden

When his hour was over the audience was
surprised that he had talked so long, and
would willingly have listened to continu-

Professor Morse was introduced by
Charles Dudley Warner, who presented him
as one who had lived everywhere and who
| knew about everything. After the lecture
Professor Morse, having to go again to the
blackboard, astonished those who remained
behind by his feats with the chalk. He
took a piece in each hand, and drawing
simultaneously with each, he produced a
picture of a butterfly altogether symmetri-
cal and as good as anyone else could make
with close attention with the right hand.
Indeed, all the illustrating that he did DUR
ing the lecture was with the left hand. AS
the feat of drawing the butterfly naturally
attracted much attention, he was urged to
show further his command of his hands.
For this he simultaneously wrote Hartford
with each hand, one time writing 1t back
ward and once forward with the left hand
showing he could duplicate or reverse as
he chose Then he spelled out loud "B-o-s-
tom and wrote "B-a-n-g-o-r." Those
who think that is easily done will do well
to try and see.
