Tankage Fertilizer.-Tankage from
slaughter houses makes an excellent
fertilizer for grasses. but it should be
applied in the spring rather than the
fall. since it is rich in nitrogen, espe-
cially when the blood is included in the
mixture. The two great essential in
gradients in furnishing the materials
for plant growth are present in such
tankage in marked degree and potash
in very small amount. Where mixed
fertilizer is wanted, such tarkage is
one of the best. When nitrogen is the
chief essential wanting in the growth
Of grasses, it can be supplied in the
form Of nitrate of soda or sulphate of
ammonia. When these are applied it
should be in the spring and not until
growth has begun. From so to 200
pounds per acre are usually ample, and
rather than SOW the whole amount at
once. 1t would be better probably to
SOW half just when growth is begin
ming and half at a later period. saw
from four to six weeks after the frat
application.-Ex.

In fattening old steers it should be
borne in mind that the days of growth
are past in that the steer has fully
matured his bony frame, hence does
not require as great supply of nitro
genous food as would young, growing
beast or dairy COW. So long as he is
getting the food of maintenance he will
neither progress nor retrograde, but to
fatten him it is necessary to provide
him with an abundance of carbonace-
GUS food, of which corn is the greatest
and cheapest example, and to aid the
fattening process should have compare
lively little exercise in a comfortable
barn rather than out of doors in the
cold where food is wasted in raising
the temperature of ice water and
warming up the body against winters
billiards.. It is throwing good feed
away to pile such heterogeneous foods
as oats, wheat, rye, etc., into old steers
when corn, oil cake, hay and fodder
will do all that is required: Save the
heterogeneous foods for the growing and
milking beasts and feed the corn to the
older fattening animals.

Jacksonville News.
The graduating class of the Mel
sonville High School have finished
their education, and are in a man
ner proficient in matters aducation-
al, according to their views of mat
ters and things. But in some things
they are woefully deficient, and
that is in the matter of apprecia-
tion of what the people have done
for them. Some of the class did
not possess the meat s to put on all
the airs they thought necessary at
their graduation, so they gave an
entertainment to raise the funds,
and the people patronized them
very literally, much more so than
they ever expected. The money
thus raised was spent in buying
class rings. But instead of going
TO one of the Nelsonville jewelers.
for their toggery, what did the class
do but send to New York for their
jewellery. Then when it came time
to get their class Invitations print
ed, they apparently did not know
that Jacksonville possessed well
equipped printing Offices capable of
turning out any class of letter press
work, so they sent to New York
and paid $50 for an alledged steel
engraving that was nothing but a
cheap copper plate that would not
cost more than $6 or IS, and the
printing about that much more.
Had either of the Nelsonvile Of
fees charged them SIS for the same
Job of work they would have died
standing still, but they never even
asked any questions about the mat
ter. They wanted to do their buy
ing in New York. That sounded
big. The only thing they were con-
tent for the people of Nelsonville
| to do was to contribute the money
to enable them to purchase what
they wanted in New York. When
they graduate they will want from
two to three columns of write up
but we are just liberal enough to
allow them to send to New York
for that also, provided the people
will furnish them with the money
We are not devoting our time and
money to people who have not got
sense enough to appreciate it.

Poultry Notes.

Rapid eating is one Of the worst
evils in young fowls. Wet meal is
thrown to them. they gorge them
selves until surfeited and then die.
Mark the chickens each year so
that you can know their age. Kill or
sell them after the third year.
The food trough that is kept full
is the lazy mans method of feeding
poultry. 1t is not only expensive but
unhealthful.
When feeding grain to hens scatter
It. This not only keeps the greedy hens
from getting more than their share,
but compels ali to hunt for it
Turkeys are capable of rapid di-
gestion and are apparently always
hungry. If allowed to forage they can
be kept at small expense; if confined
they will eat more than hens.
One advantage of the woven-wire
fence is that it need not he so high as
fences made of other material. For
some reasons fowls will rarely try to
ly over 1t.
Too much stimulating food causes
over-egg production. The result from
such treatment will be poor Matching,
weak chickens and inferior fowls. A
good variety of sound, nourishing food
is much better.

Raise One Breed Only.

The trouble with most farmers who
follow the advice to stick to one breed
Is that they fall into the habit of per-
hitting too close in-breeding. Beyond
all question the man who sticks to one
breed of cows, swine, sheep or poultry,
until he thoroughly understand the re-
quirements and peculiarities, is the
one who makes money. This state
ment, however, needs the proviso that
he takes proper precautions regarding
the introduction of new blood suffici-
entity often to prevent a running out of
the race. The new blood may be either
male or female, usually the former is
more convenient, but it must not be
akin nor must it have a taint of any
other breed, but be as pure, or better
still, more pure than the flock or herd
to which he Is introduced. A good boar
at $25, or high bred cock at $10 will
build up the stock to degree Il at will
render the investmet for new blood
very cheap. Thoroughbreds are the
element of success farmer can hardly

vid Kennedy's Favorite Remedy
have literally had their lives saved
by postal card. They got the trial
bottle, and it proved to them that
DR.. David Kennedy's Favorite REM

eases of the Kidneys, Liver, Bladder
and Blood, Rheumatism, Dyspepsia
and Chronic Constipation. They
bought large sized bottle of their
druggists and it benefited or cured
them (the above is not Pm idle state
ment, but the result of careful inves-
tigation).
You can do the same thing. If you
are i'm doubt as to whether you have
trouble with your Kidneys or Blad-
der, put some of your urine in glass
tumbler and let it stand "a hours; if
it has a sediment, or a milky, cloudy
appearance, if it is ropy or stringy,
pale or discolored, you should lose
no time in taking DR.. David Ken
nedy's Favcrite Remedy; it can be
had of all druggists at $l.00 a large
bottle, or six bottles for $500. 1t is
without question the surest medicine
of the age to put a stop to such dan
gArous symptoms as pain in the back
a frequent desire to urinate espec.

an ambitious, happy girl. She per-

energy, and won the love and good
cheer of all with whom she came
in contact. But there was one who
brought to her shrine more. than
good cheer. He placed at her feet
his future life and hopes and am
biti0ns. He was noble fellow,
honest, and upright. Manager of
the company store at the place
and fit companion for any loving
lass. The school term closed and
the happy young girl returned to
her home; the company changed,
and the young man was pOsitioned

COED ADVICE.

Keep the hoe eharp by fling from
the inside of the blade, leaving the
side next the ground perfectly level.
Keep the corners sharp and square as
long as possible, and clean the blade
before putting it away. A sharp,
bright hoe is a comfortable tool to use,
and one with which a great deal OF
work can be done, No farm tool has
ever been invented with which so
many kinds OF work can successfully
be. done as with the hand hoe.
When the hoe ia bought buy file
to sharpen it with, and the first thing
give it a good filing and then rub lin
seed oil on the handle until no more
will soak in. II linseed oil ia not handy
any kind of oil, or even lard or tallow,
will improve it in dexlbility and dura
bility. Take pains to get the oil or
grease we'll worked in at the shank 80
as to prevent water from getting in
and loosening the handle. A hoe should
be good for several years, and after it
has been used for two or three years it
will be better than when new, as the
blade will become worn thin and it
will be lighter to handle, while just as
serviceable as when new.-Ex.

UNNEIGHBORLY ACTS.

It is not much trouble to be neigh
borly, which is simply practicing the
golden rule. But there are some things
that some people do that are not con-
sidered unneighborly and yet they are.
u is a most unneighborly act to per
NIT q scrub male animal to run in the
highways and break in among thor
oughbred stock. There is scarcely
anything a man can do that is more
vexatious. Certainly he will hardly
do anything that is more seriously dis
astrous to financial interests of his
neighbor. The chronic borrower is
not neighborly; far fr om it. People
do not like to refuse to loan things
when asked, but usually they would
prefer not to do it, especially it the
borrower is a chronic one. But it seems
that some people do not hesitate to
borrow anything from an expensive
piece of machinery to a rake or hoe.
As a rule this is not the result Of ina
bility to purchase, but an utter care
lessness to provide himself with what
he needs. 1t is unneighborly to live
otherwise than with regard for pub
lie opinion. We may not believe as
the rest or the community does in re-
gard to certain matters, and it is cur
right to dissent from their belief, if we
wish to, but it is unknind and un
neighborly to purposely wound the
feelings of other or to shock the com
munity' sense of propriety.-Francie
King.
