The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg Co., Columbus,

Gentlemen-For years have been

SUCH IS FAME.
A Small Schoolgirl Gets the Here 81
Manila Into q Dad
MIX I'm.

One Of the most popular of the young pro-
fessors in the male high school tells an
amusing little story on a small, uP-to-date
schoolgirl. She went to one Of these dis
trict schools over which a cousin of the
professor presides. 1t is usual to have Wis
itors at the building now and then, who
ask the scholars questions and see that
everything is in good shape. One day not
so long since a party of callers came in and
requested the pupils to write the answers to
several questions propounded them. One OF
these questions was: Tell what yon know
about Admiral Dewey's grea: fight.
The children set to work figuring on their
answers, but the teacher noticed one OF the
girls did not make move to do 80.
''Why don't you write your answer to the
question:" she demanded of the idle pupil.
"'Taint no use," was the slow response.
II don't know nothing about it.
But" demonstrated the teacher, you
must try, anyhow; you must not sit there
idle while the others are doing the best
they can. See if You cannot think OF some
thing, my dear"
mo use," protested the pupil. "All know
is that Dewey and Corbett fought, and
don't know which whipped, and don't care
either"

HE DID NOT HAVE IT.
How 4 Joshing Judge Sailed Down
q Delightfully."- Fresh
Young Man.

William Lightfoot Visscher tells this char
acteristic story of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be ex-
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was SO
unrelentingly severe, but because lie had
the hardest and most numerous lot Of GRIM
inals to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch of
culprits to be sentenced, the judge looked
compasisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said:
In consideration of the youth and in
experience of this prisoner shall let him of
with fine of $50"
Before the Judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man cooily stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remarking nonchalantly
Is he did so:
That's all hunky, judge: I've got that
much right here in my jeans"
And one year in the penitentiary," con-
Guided the judge. Then looking over at the
convict in quizzical sort of way, he added:
do you happen to have that in your jeans?"

THE MANURE QUESTION.
Cottonseed ny ITSELF, Though = CompIcts
Manure In One Sense. Not = Well
Baianced Manure for Cotton.

Cottonseed by itself, although in
one sense complete manure, is not a
well-balanced manure for cotton. 1t
contains a large excess of nitrogen as
compared with it's phosphate content.
Hence the practice of combining acid
phosphate with cottonseed. The kind
of manure to be applied to any given
piece of land must be decided by the
quantities of different kinds of availa-
BILE plant-food present in it. Thus it
it contained an abundance of phos-
pilates. rs is the case with some of the
limestone, prairie soils of Alabama
and Mississippi. it would be useless to
add acid phosphate to a fertilizer in
tended for it. But such soil by long
cultivation might be deficient in avail
able nitrogen, and then heterogeneous
manure, as cottonseed, might be APP
piled freely with very profitable re-
suits. Hence we conclude that cotton
seed may be used in large or small
quantity according az the available
content of nitrogen in soils is less or
greater. Investigations have shown
that nitrogen is one Of the first con-
stituents of soils to be exhausted by
cropping. Hence old lands may re-
ceivc large quantities of cottonseed to
advantage. Very rich soils. such as
good alluvials soils, will be injured Dv
large applications of cottonseed, the
effect being late maturity and excess
sive growth of weed. If applied to
such land it must be in combination
with disproportionately large quanti-
ties of acid phosphate. On very poor
land as much as twenty to thirty ush-
els Of cottonseed may be applied to the
acre in combination with moderate
application of acid phosphate. On
medium lands ten bushels with an or
binary application of acid phosphate
will supply a sufficiency of nitrogen.
When meal is substituted for whole
seed 100 pounds of meal is about the
equivalent of ten bushels of Seed

Preparation for Summer Crops.

The time has arrived for active prep
aration for summer crops. So much
rain usually falls in February and
March. and the ground thus made too
wet for the plow, that advantage
should be taken of every day when the
land is in good order for plowing. On
q cotton farm the rows should be laid
off and green cottonseed and barnyarti
manure or compost be put in and
listed on at once. Especially is it inn
portant to do this when green cotton.
seed is to be used as manure. in order
that the seed may rot and lose their
terminating power. If delayed, the
seed used as manure may terminate
and come up with the choice seed used
il planting and give much trouble by
making the plants so thick that they
crowd each other and become weak
and spindling, so say nothing of plants
being left in the final stand which
come from poor. imperfect seed in
tended for manure. While it is inn
portant to hurry this work forward
now. it is equally important not to dis
turb the soil when it is too wet. One
can not be too careful on this. point.
Nothing is more destructive of good
filth than blowing land when it is too
wet. and nothing is more conducive
to the growth and health of plants
than good filth of the soil. Every
thing considerable is better to do the
work indicated now than to compost
the material and do the work later.
1t saves one handling of the material.
and relieves the pressure of work in
spring when planting time arrives and
planting can not be delayed.-Dixie

begun now whenever weather and con.

impression among farmers that oats
may be plowed in when the ground is
quite wet. Possibly from the great
power of the oat plant to extract food
from the soil. it may not suffer ms
much from the lack of filth as some
other crops. but unquestionably il
would suffer some. and to get best re-
suits oats should be plowed in only
when the soil is in proper condition.
1t is advisable to begin sowings now,
