LIKE DEAD SEA WATER
liquid Ofan Abilene Well Proves to
be Very Ancient.

Lawrence, March 12-Prof. z. H. S.
Bailey of the University of Kansas has
analysed some water that bears a strilS-
ing similarity to the water of the Dead
sea. The water was obtained by the
Abilene OIL and Gas company at a depth
of 1850 feet, in Dickinson county. 1t
contains II 900 grains of mineral matter
in comparison to 1900 grains in the Dead
sea water, while ocean water carries only
about 1000 grains. 1t is the only strong
muriatic acid water in the state, and also
contains one and one-fourth pounds Of
salt per gallon, the strongest solution
Of any Kansas water. The water could
sustain no life, and in many particulars
is unusual to this section.
This discovery is OF much Importance.
If there is no gas discovered, Abilene can
bottle the water and sell it as curio,
or can do several interesting things with
the water

EGGS lake A FALL
Six Million are Received in New

New York, March 12.-More than SIX
million eggs were received in New York
Tuesday. mostly from the west and the
price dropped to 17c. They sold two weeks
ago at 81 cents. There is such a demand
at present. however. that the dealers say
they do not expect any further decline.
High prices for eggs were the result Of
the severe winter and the using up OF the
surplus stock held in cold storage. When
the weather began to moderate the hen
resumed business and large shipments OF
eggs were made from the far west and
southwest.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1902-12-23

All along the road-sides one sees
hedges of bush and brier which take
up room, and draw sustenance from
the fields where productive crops
should be cultivated. The removal of
these hedges would cost but little and
would add greatly to the attractive
ness of our farms, to say nothing Of
conserving fertility. In some places
the bushes have become small trees,
and large space is ruined by the
shade. The farmer CD gives back a
little each year, and in rare cases the
field has become a little patch in the
middle with hedges all around. There
are other ways of improving the ap-
pearance of our farms which the in
telligent farmer will not fail to see,
but this matter of hedges is indeed
an eyesore to the farms all over this
section of the State, and [, for one,
would like to see them disappear
from our roadsides.-E. S. Millsapps,
Iredell Co., N. c., in the Mascot.

ilate all of the fertilizer applied, in
fact, not much more than half can
be actr.,lly realized, and this too un-
der the most favorable conditions.
This is-another point for thoughtful
consideration.
The plant food for the crop as out
lined contains, taken by itself, some
% per cent nitrogen, A per cent
potash, and % per cent phosphoric
acid. Let us compare this with the
manure of the farm, which is of
course not made from cotton, but
rather from the grains and grasses.
Such manure contains per ton about
10 pounds each of nitrogen and pot
ash, and pounds of phosphoric
acid; that is, considering the plant
food by itself, some 40 per cent each
of nitrogen and potash, and 20 per
cent phosphoric acid, and very little
of this latter available at that. Cot
ton is a special crop, and it is quite
evident that ordinary farmyard ma
nure is not a we'll balanced fertilizer
for same. 1t should be fortified by
mixing with it, or using with it, both
the German potash salts and acid
phosphate. With this illustration as
a guide, it is an easy matter for a
planter to figure out the proportions
of the plant food ingredients in the
fertilizers he is asked to buy, and
act accordingly.

been made with the State authorities
to pay seventy per cent of the value
of the cattle killed. Congressman
have become thoroughly alarmed over
the inroads of the disease and the
possibility of it's spread to disastrous
proportions and it is believed that
an appropriation of a million dollars
will be placed at the disposal of Sec
retary Wilson. DIR. Salmon, chief of
the Bureau of Animal Industry is
now in Boston, directing the organi-
zation of a force to cope with the
trouble.
According to some experiments in
Belgium noted by the Department of
Agriculture, tests we're made in the
use of nitrate of soda, superphos-
phate and sulphate of potash, for
growing Is of the more common gar
den vegetables. In each experiment,
1 plat was used as a control, 1 re-
ceived all three fertilizers combined,
and on 3 plats one of the elements
Of a complete fertilizer was omitted.
The plats we're duplicated in another
series, except that like amounts of
barnyard manure were used on each
plat in connection with the CONNER
cial fertilizers. The results obtained
showed the best yields when a COM
plete commercial fertilizer was used
with barnyard manure. Where the
barnyard manure was used alone, not
nearly so good results were obtained,
but they were about equal to the
yields secured when commercial fer
tilizers we're used alone. Both ex-
ceeded considerably the yield on the
control plat. 1t is concluded that in
order to obtain the largest yield of
vegetables, chemical fertilizers
should be employed simultaneously
with barnyard manure.
