Pigs and Bedding.

Pigs and the manure heap have given
rise to considerable discussion Of late.
The average farmer cleans his pigpen
but once a week. If he has the time, a
handful of bedding Is tossed in one
corner after cleaning. This is quickly
worked over by the pigs. so that by the
second day they have a wet floor for
bed. So the filth increases until that
convenient day when the pen can be
cleaned sgain- The up. to date farmer
throws bedding from his cows and
horses into the pen. This gives the pigs
good bedding twice daily. SO that they
always have supply. The man who
throws his manure without the bedding
into the pen has certainly missed his
calling as first class farmer.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Fertilixer. For Garden Crops.

Eertilixers For Garden Crops.
Upon tomatoes it was found that the
use of $50 pounds per acre Of nitrate
of soda gave an increase Of $160 worth
in the crop, or $53.33 for every dollar
the soda cost. One hundred and TWEEN
ty pounds of sulphate of ammonia in
creased 1t $44.26 for each dollar Of
cost, and 200 pounds of dried blood
gave $22.55 for the dollar Of cost. On
muskmelons the same quantities Of
each were tested, and nitrate of soda
increased the yield lis per cent over
plots that had no extra nitrogen, dried
blood increased it 81 per cent and sui
plate Of ammonia 81 per cent. When
larger amounts were used, the yield
was less, as the vines seemed to grow
too rank and bore less fruit. The same
kinds and amounts Of fertilizers were
tried upon sweet corn, and the average
increase of ears was 21.1 per cent with
nitrate of soda, 25.f with sulphate Of
ammonia and 34.9 per cent with dried
blood. In this case it was thought that
much Of the soluble nitrogen in the
chemicals was leached down below the
corn roots before the development of
ears began. Increasing the amount
used generally gave better results on
the corn

Growing Table Beets.


Upon a sandy loan land which had
been for ten years heavily MANFRED
and cropped with table beets and Gel
cry it was found by the New Jersey
station that the use Of nitrate of soda
in amounts varying from 400 to 700
pounds per acre, in three equal appli-
cations, fastened the maturing of the
crop. At the first pulling and making
of two pound punches there was 63
per cent more on nitrated plots than on
those without the nitrate. At second
pulling, four days later, the nitrated
plots gave 135 per cent more punches.
and at third pulling. three days later.
there was Ia per cent more. after
which they produced about equal
amounts. The greatest gain per acre
by use Of nitrate was where they used
700 pounds per acre, $27.10 more than
where nitrate was not used. This was
due to the higher price obtained for
the earlier pullings and amounted to
about SO for every dollar the nitrate
cost.

RATCHET AS A WEAPON
DAVID LANCASTER, A CITY DETEC-
TIVE, HAS NARROW ESCAPE.
He Was Attempting to Arrest Walter
FIack When AssauIted-A
wOman's Part.

David Lancaster, a member OF the city
detective force, narrowly escaped serious
injury and possible death last evening
while arresting Walter FIack, of 1902 West
Washington street. Flack was at Dr.
Fletcher's sanatorium, where he was being
treated for excessive use of liquor. He
escaped from there about noon, and was
located at 126 Muskingum street.
Lancaster, by direction of Superintendent
Taffe, went to the house to escort him to
headquarters. When he knocked at the
door a woman, known as Nellie Bennett
opened the door, and upon recognizing
Lancaster tried to prevent him from enter
ing. Lancaster went across the room TO
were F'lack set and told him the police
superintendent wished to see him. Flack
replied that he would not go unless Lam
caster had papers"
After a few words Flack arose and at
tempted to strike Lancaster, who grabbed
for F'Iack, but was prevented from reach
ing him by the woman. who came between
them. She interfered with Lancaster, and
at an opportune time opened the kitchen
door and told F1ack to go out that way
Instead Of doing so ne grabbed Ratchet
or other sharp instrument from the cor
ner Of the room and struck Lancaster over
the head with it. Lancaster. while engaged
with the woman, did not notice the action
of Flack in picking up the weapon, and
when the blow came was hardly prepared
for 1t. He threw up his arm and partly
warded off the blow. The weapon, how
ever, struck him on the head, cutting
cash about two inches long. The blow
stunned him, but he able to grab
Flack by the throat and throw him against
q stove, which was overturned, and then
get him into the yard. When Flack fell he
kicked the detective in the face, and bad
ly discolored eye is the result
The men wrestled in the yard for some
time, and Flack finally told the Bennett
woman, who came out, TO get revolver
which was in the house and take shot
at Lancaster. She disappeared quickly IN
TO the house and shortly after reappeared,
at which time Lancaster released FIack.
He was nearly exhausted at that time, but
watched them so down the alley together
to Thomas saloon, where they were 1ound
later by Detective Kinney, who was sent
for. Flack was sent to police headquar-
tiers and charged with assault with intent
TO kill. The woman was later sent 10
headquarters on a charge of interfering
with an officer. She was arrested several
weeks ago in company with Flack and
fined 800 and costs and given $50 days in
the workhouse, but sentence was suspend
ed by Judge DAILY upon condition that she
at once leave the city and never return
Her home is at Upton, but she has been
in the city for some time, working at

DANGEROUS OLD BRIDGE.
Works Board and City Engineer Pom
dering over the Matter.

The decrepit Washington-street bridge
over White river furnished a prolific sub
ject for conversation around the office of
the Board of Works yesterday. After City
Engineer Nelson and Major Megrew had
had another look they came back to the Of
flee and talked the situation
That it is critical no one attempts to
deny. The situation is simply that the
board must repair an old bridge which en-
gineers declare is not worth repairing, will
not last more than a year at most, even if
ii be repaired, and is liable to fall into the
river at any time.
An apparently simple way out Of the
troublesome problem is to order the con-
struction of a new bridge. That solution is
declared to be absolutely impossible be-
cause there is no money in the city treas
ury which can be used for bridge improve
ments. A new stone bridge would cost
$4,000; a concrete bridge $1,000 and, since
the city is endeaVoring to stagger along un-
der the burdens bequeathed il by the Dem
ocrauc administration, 1t hardly looks as II
it could spare that amount in bridge build
ing.
City Engineer Nelson suggests way out
of the difficulty. He thinks that the city
ought to increase the tax levy next Septem-
Der and thereby provide funds for building
bridges. He points out that the West Mich
igan-street bridge and the Morris-street
bridge over White river are in bad shape,
and will be in the same condition as the
Washington-street bridge. To attempt to
repair the old Washing n-Street bridge for
permanent use would be useless, he thinks.
Major Megrew has no hesitancy in saying
that the old bridge is dangerous and that a
new one is badly needed, but he asks where
the money is To come from. He considers
that the old bridge can be patched up until
means are raised for new one. He would
not state what the action of she board
would be in the matter, but it is believed
that an attempt will be made to make such
general repairs the bridge to put it in
shape for year at least.
The bridge gang from the works depart
ment helped repair the broken rods yester-
day and with employees of the street-car
company got the structure in such shape
that the running of empty street cars over
IL is deemed safe for the present. No loaded
wagons or cars are allowed to cross.
Mayor BOOkwalter. on his return to the
city Monday. will look into the matter. and
the result of his inspection will determine
largely the action the board will take in the
matter.
