WHEN TO APPLY MANURE.
Winter Rains and Melting SHOWS
Carry Pnfaah Infn the soil

Winter Rains and Melting Shows
Carry Potash Into Soil.
After all that has been said and writ
ten on the subject of manuring it does
not seem to be we'll understood that it
should be done some time before the
crops are to grow. There are five things
that are especially needed by the soil
humus, nitrogen, potash and phosphoric
acid, with water to permeate and dis
solve them.
Humus is the decayed and decaying
vegetable matter in the soil. 1t gives it
that dark rich color, as we call it. It
makes it light and porous, SO that it
will hold large quantities of water, just
as the sponge does. And in it live the
little invisible friends the myriads
of bacteria which fix or hold the nitro
gen that certain plants gather from the
air and make it available for the COM
ing crops. Stable manure will make
this humus. So will crops that are
plowed under, such as the clovers, cow
peas and SOFA beans. And the nitrogen
which they at the same time bring to
the soil is much cheaper than that
bought at a big price in fertilizer bags.
Indeed nitrogen is far the most costly of
the manur when it is bought. The
tilizers more on the nitrogen they con-
tain than on any other ingredient.
Moreover, when it is in the structures
of these plants it is in a much less dan
gerous condition and is more easily ap-
propriated by the succeeding crops than
in the form of mineral nitrates or ami
NAL refuse. These latter really do con
siderable harm if applied directly to
tender seeds or r~ootlets and should be
we'll mixed with the soil at about the
time the plants will need the nitrogen
to stimulate their growth, for it is very
volatile when turned into ammonia by
union with water.
Phosphoric acid and potash must also
be applied properly. Many persons fail
to get the good effects from them which
they might reasonably expect. This is
one point that should be thoroughly
understood by farmers, fruit growers
and gardeners. The preventive measure
is to apply potash and phosphoric acid
in the fall or winter and let the rains
and melted SHOWS thoroughly dissolve
these mineral manures and mix them
with the soil. Then, when the crops are
sown or planted the next spring, the
potash and phosphorio acid will be in
condition to do only good work. If you
cannot have all the winter and early
spring to prepare them, have all that is
possible. We do not feed a horse and
have the strength from that selfsame
food ready for use the same hour. And
so with the food in the soil except nitro
gen, which is almost Immediately avail
able. Nitrogen in the soil is like a whip
to the horse-it acts almost at once or
is gone by evaporation as ammonia. So
says Professor HI. E. Van Deman, some
Of whose ideas on manuring, as just Ok
pressed in The Country Gentleman are
here reproduced.

He that lives upon hopes will die fasting

A man may dress as well as his own
good judgment and the assistance of an
artistic tailor may elect. He may take his
tubs" but if his digestive organs are out
of order, he will have an unwholesome ap-
p%earance. His complexion and the white
OF his eyes will have a yellowish cast.
His tongue will be coated, appetite poor,
his teeth rusty, his breath abominable.
He is one big, unmistakable sign of con
stipation. The quickest, surest, easiest
way to cure this trouble is to take DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They are made
of refined, concentrated vegetable extracts.
Nothing in the least harmful enters into
their composition. They hunt down all
impurities, and make them move on.
they are the product of many years study
and practice. DR.. Pierce cannot afford to
put forth a worthless article.

The Kansas experiment station has
found celery under irrigation one of the
most successful vegetable crops of the
season and expresses the belief that
with a plentiful water supply, such as
in Colorado, there are many localities
that will produce celery equaling in
quality the product of the famous Mich
igan celery fields. Celery is becoming
quite a commercial crop under irriga-
ton at Kearney, Neb., and, commenting
ON the fact, the Denver Field and
Farm is convinced that there are soils
of black loan or peat in the Colorado
river bottoms and in the old buffalo
wallows which cannot be exoelled for
this crop.

Why are redheaded people less sub
ject to badness than those with fair or
brown hairf An English physician has
answered this conundrum.
The hair of the redheaded is relative
ly thick, n red hair being as thick as
five blond or three brown hairs. With
30, 600 red hairs the scalp is well
matched. With the same number Of
blond hairs n is almost bald. It takes

There are some curious facts about
u calendar. No century can begin on
Wednesday, Friday or Sunday. The
same calendars can be used every 30
years. October always begins ON the
same day of the week as January, April
as July, September as December. Feb
ruary, March and November begin ON
the same days. May, June and August
always begin on different days from
each other and every other month in
the year. The first and last days of the
year are always the same. These rules
do not apply to leap year, when COM
p~arison is made between days before
and after Feb. 80.

New stations In Arid and Subarid
Regions.


Congress last session made an appro-
priation for the purpose of increasing
the number of stations in the arid and
subarid regions Of the country and pro-
vision has already been made to estab-
lish stations at Kalispell, Mon. Boise,
Ida. Mount Tamalpais, Cal. Flagstaff,
A. T., and Fort Worth, Tex. Additional
stations will soon be located at Merid-
ian, Miss. Macon, Ga. Lexington, KY. F;

Cupid is sly.

Two months ago, In that month by
some thought to be the most delightful
of all, Charles Curtis, deputy treasurer
of Marshall county, and Miss Elsie
Walters, of Culver, both of whom are
we'll known and have many friends in
Plymouth, decided that their lives
should henctforth be as one. Ac-
cOrdingly they began their journey
the young lady went from Culver to
Warsaw where she made visit and
from there to Eikhart; the Young gentle
man went from Plymouth to Elkhsrt
where the two together listened to the
speech of w. j. BRYAN. From there
their journey is not known but to some
place in Mic, igan 1t was and thence
home again.
A high regard for the characters of
both of these young people is held by
all, and the Independent joins with
their many friends in wishing them as
much success in their future lives as
there has been in their past.

MAY BE MURDERERS.
MEN IN PLYMOUTH JAIL ARE
THOUGHT TO BE MURDERERS
OF OFFICER CRAIG
Riley RAIDER and JOcob BlOugh said Ia
BE Bad Characters Blough said To Have
for Murder.

Riley RAIDER and Jacob Blough are in
Jail at Plymouth charged with horse
stealing. They are the parties who
stole the gray horse of John CARRIER and
the buggy of another farmer near 10y,
at Honeyville, Lagrange county, last
week, and if the charge under which
they are now held proves insufficient
they will be held, and certainly convict
ed, for stealing the CARRIER horse, If they
are not first convicted of far more
serious charge than horse stealing says
the Goshen News.
1t is believed by men who know the
parties that RAIDER and Blough are the
persons who murdered Officer John
Craig at Sturgis a week ago Monday
night. A horse the murderers stole
In fleeing from justice after killing
Officer Craig was found at Honeyville.
The night after the murder the CARRIER
horse was stolen and taken to Walker
ton, where it was traded off. Another
horse was stolen by them, and they
were caught, and taken to Plymouth
and lodged In jail.
Some one wrote to Sheriff Elliott,
peculiarly addressing it TO Middlebuy,
and the popular official received 1t yes
terdsv. Tn. letter stated that the Gar
Der horse had been located in Walker
ton, and told of The imprisonment of
the thieves Sheriff Elliott this morn
ing telephoned to the sher fl at Plym-
Outh and was given additional informa
ton.
The murderers of John Craig fled
southwark from Sturgls. They were
tracked into Lagrange county, and as
has been stated, the horse stolen near
StuTgis was found IN the CARRIER neigh
borhOOd. RAIDER is worthless rOust-
about, with no known habitation. He
has for some time been assOciating with
Blough, who is a desperate character
with many petty crimes laid at his door,
and who is said to have been sentenced
to JetfersOnvile once for murder. They
have not been seen in the locality of
Schr ock postoflice i'll Lagrange county,
! where they made their headquarters,
since day or two before the Sturgis
murder. Yet they stole the CARRIER
horse after the murder and they answer
the description of the murders as furn-
ished by J. r Joslyn, the chimney sweep
who witnessed the murder. There may
be a hanging in Michigan for the muir
der of John Craig
