Commercial Fertilizers.

While 40 one who has had expert
ence with both commercial fertilizers,
and good stable manures would give
up the latter for the former, for gen
eral crops, there is not the slightest
doubt that commercial fertilizers of a
high grade have Il greater value than
most farmers are willing to accord
them. Where failures have resulted
from the use of commercial fertilizers
it is because they have been of poor
quality. deficient in nitrogen. Good
stable manure contains three forms of
nitrogen, all of them available for
plant food and when a commercial fer
tilizer is bought that is equally strong
in nitrogen it can surely be used sue
cessfully to help out a small supply of
stable manure. Again, as between a
low grade stable manure, one which
would come from stock fed heavily ON
roughage and scantily on grains, and
a high grade chemical fertilizer, there
is no question but what the latter is
to be preferred. Many of the special
fertilizers manufactured for certain
crops are greatly to be preferred to
even the best stable manureS, so that
the advice to buy only the high-grade
fertilizers applies all along the line.

SELECTING Seed Potatoes.

If the potatoes to be planted are to
be selected from the home grown stock
they should be looked over early and
the selection made. The seed potato
should be plump and heavy. and have
sheen fully matureG when dug. Select
all specimens that Will make good
seed, and store in some dark place
where the temperature will keep at
about 30 to 40 degrees. Such a place
should not be damp, neither should it
be dry enough to shrivel the tubers.
Do not use as seed the tubers from
any crop that consisted mainly of small
potatoes, for while the season and the
culture doubtless had much to do with
the tubers being SMALL it is also posi-
BILE that the strain is somewhat run
out, hence it does not pay TO take
chances. If one has nothing that is
fit for seed, the necessary quantity
should be purchased from some reli-
able scotsman. Do rot make the mis-
take of using any potatoes you may
happen to have, for seed, regardless
of variety or condition. for the crop
will not pay even fair price for the
labor and fertilizer used to produce it.

The upper ends are rounded. and insert
ed in holes bored in the lower side of

The pins of the lower ends should be of
metal. Pieces of sawmill plate. in which
holes have been punched, should be
fastened to the sill for these pins to
play in. Thus the pins will be kept
from wearing the wood. A similar plate
should be placed where the gates meet,
to accommodate the vertical bolt on one
of them. The other gate should have L
latch.
The Stats and braces may be made
from stuff IA inches thick and four
inches wide. They are attached to each
other and to the uprights with bolts.
The short braces are on the opposite
side of the Stats from the long ones. so
that the same bolt may go through both
where they overlap. When finished the
frame and gates should be we'll painted.
1t will be seen that these gates can
be used singly or together, and that
they swing in either direction. 1t is al

Seeding with Clover


When clover is sown early in the
spring on the crop of wheat or other
winter grain it may cost nothing but
the price of the seed. which is not
much. whether ten or fifteen pounds is
used to the acre. and the labor of SOW
ing. Yet we would prefer to increase
is cost by going over the wheat with
light or smoothing harrow before
sowing the clover seed. This viii bene-
fit wheat or rye if done at the right
time. when the ground is not wet
enough to cause the harrow to sink too
deep and uproot the plants. This
makes a good seed bed for the clover,
and in day or two after the first rain
the little plants will be sending their
roots down into the soil. Yet they
will not make growth enough to injure
the grain before it ripens. and when
that is taken off the clover will be bet
ter looking and more valuable than
the weeds that would be likely to take
possession if the clover was not there.
1t will grow then through the fall and
into winter. and in the spring it may
be plowed under to enrich the soil. or
if the catch is good one, and it makes
a good crop. it may be cut twice for
hay and then add more fertility to the
soil if plowed under in the fall or next
spring than if the first growth was
plowed under Glover likes a mineral

as sulphate of lime or land plaster, and
also likes the phosphates and potash.
but many supply these sufficiently in

A school in Arabia.

During my stay at Nakhl, says a
writer in the Geographical Journal.
visited some of the schools, of which
there are five here. and saw the chill
dren imbibing instruction in the usual
Moslem style repeating aloud sentences
of the Koran or rules of grammar read
out by the mollah. They attend in the
morning and may be seen at an early
hour hurrying to school, boys and girls
together, some with min a. or wood
en- Koran stand. on their heads some
with painted board or camel shoulder
blade, ON which they learn to write,
under their arm. The instruction given
is of very elementary character
reading, writing Arabic grammar. the
Koran, and little arithmetic being the
only subjects. But the boys of the
learned and wealthy are often educated
at home by a mollah, and advanced
further. The lack of method is partly
compensated for by the precocity and
tenacity of memory shown by the boys.
Nakhi deserves attention for the com
paratiYely advanced state of education
among the people, there being larger
proportion of persons in this town able
to read and write than in any other Ia
Oman. There is a good number also of
professional scribes. Books, conse-
quently, are not so scarce here as else
where. The higher position of learning
here is attributed to the influence of the
PerSianS. who occuDied this part of the.
country during the time of Nadir Shah.

and cannot save them rs they cone in,
he should not undertake the business.

The Champion Rough and Tumble
Fighter of Animaldom.
There was a time when the Ameri-
can mountain lion was one of the
most formidable animals in the world.
The cat is the masterpiece of nature;
and the mountain lion was one of the
most terribly armed and powerful of
the cat family. 1t was compact bass
of hard and tough muscle and gristle,
with bones of iron, strong jaws. sharp
teeth, and claws like steel penknife-
blades. 1t was prodigiously strong,
coat of loose skin that was as tough
as leather. IL mad the temper of de-
mon, and was insatiably bloodthirsty.
Withal, it had the proverbial nine lives
of the cat tribe.
Against such an animal it was hope
less to match dogs. 1t was said, in the
schoolbooks of forty years ago, that
three British mastiffs can pull down
a full -grown Asiatic lion" Perhaps
they could; but they would have been

of complaint against the Northern Secur-

The State must begin it's suit in the low

there is not to be a speedy determination
of the question which the State of Min

That question is whe,ner the laws Of

that provision of the antitrust law which
declares unlawful all combinations in re-

not in unreasonable restraint OF trade,
