DISTRIBUTING ROUGH

Last year I hauled several loads of we'll
rotted manure mixed with straw and
scattered it in piles at the head Of my
garden irrigating burrows. The water
was turned from the main into the
laterals and soaked through the manure
with the result that the strength of
those heaps was applied direct
to the roots of vegetables through the
irrigations. Tomatoes thus treated yield
ed one half bushel to the plant and
ripened nicely at an altitude of 6, 900
feet above sea level. Every experiment
made has demonstrated that liquid fer.
tilizers r valuable. and a vat will
amply repay the gardener and small
fruit grower who depends upon the
market. The products can be obtained
earlier, the quality is superior, and the
quantity almost doubles from judicious
fertilizing by some liquid applications.
If no other process is available, a
spray pump, which every gardener and
crchardist should have to fight insects,
may be satisfactorily used in connec-
tion with liquid fertilizers. The plants
are not injured or made unfit for use
by using liquid fertilizers, as there is
no odor faint left after a fewhours, and
the growing vegetables take up the ele-
ments desired the same as from
spread upon the soil.

Paste Gems.

The pleasure of wearing sparkling
stones is to a great extent the knowledge
that others cannot afford to wear them.
But this is a pleasure with which l
have no sympathy. Jewels should sim
ply be regarded as an ornament, ire.
spective of their intrinsic value. But so
little is this realized by the wealthy
classes that many ladies wear sham
diamonds exactly similar to those that
they possess, which are kept at their
bankers for fear of theft. This is much
like a person plastering himself over
with certified bankers checks. 1t is a
mere advertisement to all that the per-
is go wealthy that he or che can af-
ford to leave a vast amount of capital
locked up without interest. London

Varieties Of Spring Wheat.

To the many farmers who are asking,
''Shall I SOW Velvet Chaf and other va
rieties of late wheat this season p a Ne
braska correspondent of The American
Agricultural says: I have invariably
advised the seeding Of both early and
late varieties. a E the poorer returns of
the early sorts last year are no criterion
of results this year. This l think the
safer plan, and it also lengthens the
harvest time, enabling many farmers
to make the ''old binder" do for anoth-
er year thus keeping down expenses.
1t should be remembered that late vari-
cites generally make a slow start, and
therefore thrive better on new and clean
fields. If your soil is foul with weed
seeds, SOW early wheat. as that starts
more quickly and thus better keeps
down the weeds. As a rule one or two
pecks more per acre should be sown of
the early kinds, as these do not stool so
~abundantly as do the late varieties.
You will do we'll to carefully study the
growth and habits of each kind of
wheat sown in your neighborhood. It
will prove an interesting as well as
profitable study.

Cranky Vessela.

Even the best designers never know
how their ships will turn out when
completed. They may break all records
for speed, or they may be so slow as to
be entirely useless-a mere waste of
money.
Years ago two mud barges we're built
at San Francisco, exactly alike, con-
structed from M design. One of them
was quite commonplace, but the other
raced every barge in the bay and beat
them all; raced every yacht on the Pa
cific coast and beat them. She was SO
fast that yachts were built on her lines.
but turned out mere barges for sloth.
Nobody could see how this craft differed
from her crawling sisters or from the
yachts.
In 1851 the America went to Cowes,
England, and raced for a prize cup.
She won that trophy, and then an Eng
lishman bought her and improved her
hull, stiffening it with knees through
out. After that she lost every race.

Sowing Grain In the Mud.

Beyond the region of the Atlantic
coast and the influence of the chain of
great lakes farmers usually fall plow all
their land for spring grain in order to
get it in as early as possible. They say
that spring wheat, oats and barley do
much better when thus sown, as they
get an early start and mature before
the extreme summer heats begin. There
is another reason. The fall plowed land
has no spring blowing, but is sown on
The furrow as soon as there is enough
of it thawed out to make q covering
for the seed grain. In fact, it is usually
dragged in while the surface soil is SO
muddy that it often clogs the drag, and
the seed is hardly covered at all. But
on ths moist ground and with sunny
skies overhead the grain quickly sends
it's sprout upward and it's roots down
ward into the loose soil. If a freeze
up occurs before the grain is up, it is
all the better. It lightens the soil that
the dragging while it was wet had COM
pacted. A light freeze just as the grain
is coming up is also an advantage. It
checks leaf growth, and. if warm weather
follows, the root grows faster than the
top, causing it to send up additional
shoots from the same seed.-American
C%ultivator.

FERTILIZER TANK.

turned in at the top. When the vat fills.
the liquid rises to the surface and runs
away in the small irrigating bitches to
the plants requiring fertilization. In
some instances the water is turned off
when the vat is filled, and after two or
three days the colored liquid is dipped
up in tin or iron buckets and carried
to the particular plants the gardener
desires to make a rapid growth for the
early market and poured or the foliage
and around the roots. He uses tin cups
or dippers for this work. giving each
plant the same quantity, being careful
not to waste the least particle.
A German gardener and small fruit
grower has the most perfect system of
applying liquid fertilizers. His plant
consists Of a large homemade hogshead
built on a hillside, so that water can be
III in at the top and drawn out from
the bottom. This holds two or more
wagon loads of manure and is easily
filled and emptied with a shovel or ma
nure fork. The liquid is drawn off by
means Of a two inch hole supplied with
a hollow faucet. Some light trougbs,
made of half inch material, ~ feet in
length and about 4 inches in width.
put together in a V shape, carry the
liquid where wanted and empty it into
a larger trough, from which it is dis.
tributed. The large trough should be
and about ! foot wide. 6 inches deep
10 to ~ feet long, in order not to
be too heavy for carrying or dragging
about. This may be dispensed with en-
tirely by simply shoveling out a similar
sized reservoir to hold the liquid tenn
porarily while it is divided into the
small burrows. If the trough is used,
anger holes should be bored in one side
every foot or more to allow the liquid
to escape. These holes can be stopped
by plugs or by mailing tin lids inside.

The tables were turned upon a wom

whom she had been following from
counter to counter turned on her and
not only pulled her hair, but tore her
gown. To a policeman who was sum-

detectives espionage YVES en- insult No
ATTEST was made.
The female detectives are known to
the regular patrons of the stores where
they are employed. and it is not i'm
probable. when the shopper said chat it
was an insult to be followed by this
oman that she was thinking what
opinion the other shoppers might form
OF her. One store in this town which
obtained a lot of free advertising sew
eral years ago because of the energy of
its female detective has paid heavily for
it since. 1t was a store which by it's ar
rangement offered great temptation to
shoplifters, and undoubtedly it suffered
from them. The detective was
engaged, and,as she was the pioneer Of
her class she attracted so much atten-
ton that she became unduly ambitious
in her line of work. If a shopper hap
pened to pick up an article and walk to
another counter with it. a habit of
many women. the detective was right
beside her, and she felt that in the YES
of the sleuth she was a probable thief.
If no arrest was attempted.
The annoyance Of this woman's &C.

arrests made by her was so large that
the old patrons Of the store fell away. |

A. Remarkable Piano.

One Bouchet. who compiled a history
Of Acquitaine. describes a remarkable
pianoforte built for Louis XI by the
Able de Baigne. The king one day
hearing a drove of hogs tuning up pre-
paratory to a general rush for and pro
miscuous scramble at the slop pail,
l%aughingly ordered the priest to contrive
means by which these seemingly dis
cordant sounds might produce harmony.
x Tradition does not affirm that the
reverend gentleman scratched his head
thereat. but owing to the prevalence Of
the tonsure it is safe to assert that he
did not. Notwithstanding which. how.
ever. he managed to nicely grade the
drove, from the thin treble of the shote
to the bassoon grunt of the tusked boar
and. having arranged them in stalls I'M
der a pavilion. announced to his aston
ished majesty, who had not thought of
the matter since. that the piano was in
tune. .'
The king, i~ncredulous. attended, and
when the able struck the keys there
poured forth to the delight of the entire
court a burst of music such az Orpheus
never conceived. The explanation.
when the crafty prelate chose to expose
his plan, was most simple. The keys
being struck. a prong set in motion by
the action was stuck into the pig, graz

and temperament of the player. the re-

Stunned public appearances. ct when
Dickens came to New York, in 1912,
Irving could not escape presiding at
the great dinner in his honor. They
had already become friends through
correspondence, for Irving's delight in
Little Nell had to be expressed in q
letter to the author. and Dickens, in
his enthusiastic response. had said:
'Diedrich Knickerbocker' I have
worn to death in my pocket, and yet l
should show you his mutilated carcass
with a joy beyond expression"
The night of the public dinner came.
and Irving's dread Of the introductory
speech kept him murmuring throughout
the repast. II shall certainly break
down.
At the proper time he rose to his
feet. began bravely. but could only ut
ter a few sentences, and ended by TAX
ing refuge in the announcement of the
toast:
"Charles Dickens. the guest of the
nation.
The applause was generous. and IT.
wing took his seat.
''There!' he said. II told you l

he found himself called upon at the
dinner Of the Literary fund in London
to respond to tho toast, "Wash:ngton

that of the north side (A) will have a

A WOMAN'S HAND.

The dawn grew golden in the east,
The dancing and the music ceased,
The world, tire world of men, awoke
And then the guest who rarried spoke.
And as he spoke he took her hand
In his The could not understand
And held it, tiny, white and slim,
While she in silence gazed at him
Soft lutte tender, birdlike thing,
May time or toll. he murmured, "bring
No line to thee, poor glriish lland!'
ooh, he could never understandD
Then she, with one strange wistful look,
Drew back the hand he idly took
And, smiling, hid it from his gaze
While he bowed low and went his ways.
The little and renamed the same
Soft, birdlike thing, and no toll came
To take its tenderness away
Nor steal it's beauty day by day.
For in the world its only task
Was but to press a hayward heart
lAh, little hand, SO white and slimD
That ached with all her love for him.
