Plot 4.
X. P. N. G. L.

These figures appear respectively
on the plot cards of the first four
plots of each series Of vegetables
atthe Experimental Farm. It will
be noticed that in plot l, potash,
(symbol H. is missing; in plot q;
phosphoric acid, (symbol P.,) is
missing; in plot 3, nitrogen,
(symbol N.,) is missing; in plot 4,
there is no standard element
missing, that plot being treated
with complete fertilizer. 1t is Of
course, needless to say that the
appearance Of plot 4 is in every
way much superior to that of any
other plot of the four. Plot l,
from which potash is missing, is
but slightly inferior to plot 2,
from which phosphoric acid is
missing but still the difference is
sufficiently marked throughout the
the five series, to show that any
one of these vegetables will better
thrive lacking phosphoric acid,
than lacking potash. Besides
potash has a decided tendency to
show its best effects in the harvest
ed product, rather than in the
foliage of the plant; its results are
substantial.
In plot 8, nitrogen is lacking;
and in the corn, artichokes, sweet
potatoes and asparagus plots, the
effect is amazing. The growth on
: these plots is extremely poor, only
little less poor than that of those
plots which are marked "No Ferti-
lizer." The foliageis scanty, the
stalks or stems of the plants are
slender and lacking in vigoT and
the colors are a very pale, sick]y
green; all tending to show that
these vegetables cannot thrive in
this soil without nitrate of soda, or
nitrogen. On the peanut plot,

TOOK HIS ADVICE.
A Veterinary Surgeon of Battle Creek

timely words of advice, he says:

phys drug store in Battle Greek one
day when a friend of mine came in
and asked for box of kidney pills.
After he had made his purchase / said
quietly to him: You have made a
mistake in buying those. His reply
was: How is that?' / said Doan's
Kidney Pills are worth all the others

sons for thinking so l told him that
my kidneys had bothered me for years,

where the kidneys are affected, that 1
had used remedy after remedy, includ-
ing box after box of the one he just
purchased, and that until used Doan's
Kidney Pills I might have taken as
many spoonfuls of water; in fact,
think some of them hurt me. A cou-
pie of weeks after this / met him on

Fled to the wolves.

For sheer melodrama the English
jewel robber Houghton's arrest would
be hard to beat. After his last big dia-
mond theft he was traced to West
Bromwich and thence led the detect
ives a dance over the country. At last
when the pursuers were hard on his
heels he dashed into a travelling men,
agerie which was exhibiting just out
side Birmingham. There he found one
of the attendants fastening up van
cage containing a pair of large gray
wolves He flung the man on one side
and opened the cage, shutting himself
in with the beasts and daring any one
to fetch him out. The strange thing
was that the wolves, which the propri-
etor had always considered the most
dangerous animals in the show, took no
notice whatever Of the fugitive, but
showed great i'll temper toward the
keeper and n constable, who had great
difficulty in dragging Houghton out.
