potash in 100 pounds OF such ashes.
Garlindville, Ga. ]. r. p.
Answer: In good. unleached hard wood

the ton, or pounds of potash in each 100

OF potash there is in German KANT.

Answer: Your SOW has probably con-
tracted a species Of rheumatism caused
by lying In damp quarters. Place her in

viii doubtless soon recover.
Please give me the different available in
gradients of plant food contained in 100
bushels Of green cotton seed. How much
oil would there be in 100 bushels of green
seed and how much meal and hulls and
lint?
VIII II pay TO sell green seed and put
the proceeds in standard fertilizers? VIII
you give me the proper analysis of a fer
tilizer for corn and also for cotton to be
used on our red pimple clay lands in
Dodge county. Can you tell me where
can buy a good durable stalk cutter?
Is nitrate Of soda beneficial for cotton
IL so. at what stage should it be applied
and how much per acre?
Eastman, Ga. ]. T. G.
Answer.-The following amounts of
plant food are contained in 100 bushels Of
green cotton seed.
50 pounds OF nitrogen a 15c..........S1ss 5
80 pounds OF phosphOric acid a &c.. 1.95
IS pounds Of potash q 5c.............. $50
Total value plant food. s17.7O
The total amount of oil, meal. bulls and
linters contained in 100 bushel of cotton
seed would be about as follows:
60 gallons OF oil at .s2l 90
! .oS7 pounds Of meal at S1.15......... 125O
LS50 pounds of hulls at 25c............ 2S7
Llnters.----... ..-- i--.. 80. ............ l65
Total value OF products ............. SSS. 80
You will observe that the value of the
plant food I'm the 100 bushels of cotton seed
Is about the same as the total value Of the
meal, hulls and lint after being worked up
at the mill But the value Of the oil Is S2l
at present prices, which cannot be COM
puted at anything in valuing the seed for
fertiliZing purposes. The thing to do is to
exchange the oil in your seed at a fair
value 70 the mills and get back your meal
and hulls. There are a number of cooper
alive ginneries owned by farmers in differ-
ent neighbOrhoods where small plantation

WATER MAINS 20 THE POST.
Judge McVey Holds City Has Right
to Lend $4,000.

Des Moines. May 12.-Judge A. II.
McVey, of the Polk district bench,
denied the application for an injunc-
ton in the case of j. H. Phillips
against the city of Des Monies. bet
ter known as the army post loan case.
The city officials are now free to
transfer $4,000 of the municipal wat.
eT fund to the water works company
for the purpose of constructing a
main to the army post. The officials
are not yet ready to act, however,
preferring TO wait to see whether or
not the case is appealed. Judge Nc.
Vey's opinion takes up all of the
twelve objections made to the loan
ana argues them fully. He overruled
all -.
This case was brought because the
socialists, who brought similar suit,
refused to have it tried at this time,
preferring 10 hold it off until the Sep
TENDER term of court. That case is
still pending, but Judge Mcvey has
decided all the points that were made
in ii. The socialists tried to inter-
yene in this case. but the court re-
fused TO permit this. They will insist
on having their case come up in the
fall and it may be that the city Of

ey until either the socianst case or

Chicago. May 12.-With the full ap-
proval OF Attorney General p c.
Knox. representing the national gov
eminent, District Attorney S. G.
Bethea filed with the clerk of the fed
eral court here a bill for an injunc-
ton, sweeping in character, designed
to destroy the alleged giant conspira
cy to Illegally control the meat trade
of the United States. The original OF
the bill WIS recorded the moment sled
and was at once placed in tne official
files of the court clerks office. At the
same time District A.,orney Bethea
served notice that at p. m, May 20,
he will appear before Federal Judge
Grosscup and ask for a temporary
injunction against the packers and
their representatives. under the Sher
man national antitrust law. When
the case shall come up for hearing
May 90, District Attorney Bethea will
be present in person to present the
his argument in support of tempo

by Attorneys G. B. Morrison and OIL

casted by one of their Representatives.
They will not make fight on May 20,
according to this authority. They
will submit to an entry of an order
enjoining them from the acts COM
planned of in the bin and will promise
to refrain from further alleged VIC
lation of the law until the time of
the next hearing. That will possibly
be about June 20. Before the later
date they will have filea demurrer,
in which the insufficiency of the gov
ernments petition will be alleged.
This demurrer, it is said will raise
an important point under the inter-
state commerce regulations. probably
to the extent that the shipping OF
meats to ones own agent in another
state under certain agreement is not
interstate commerce. In the event
that the demurrer shall be oyerrul-
ed. the packers will still have the
privilege of fling an answer which
will necessitate a further hearing on
the merits of the governments char.

SCHOOL FOR THE

ALL PUPILS WERE RESCUED

VIII Take over 100000 to Properly
Replace the Building State Carries No
Insurance.

Council Bluffs, May "a fire that
started at O'Clock yesterday after
noon entirely destroyed the main
building and the chapel of the Iowa
school for the deaf, an actual loss
of 800. 900, but necessittting the ex-
penditure of 100000 for new build
ings. The buildings were uninsured,
the state carrying it's own risks.
Fire Chief Templeton of this city
was twice overcome by heat and his
hands were badly burned, One wo.
man narrowly escaped being crushed
under falling walls, and the faces Cd
three firemen were severely burned.
There were 26O pupils and 60 teach
ers, officers and employees in the build
ing at the time, all of whom escaped
without difficulty The entire main
building, 300x75 feet and four stories
high, and the chapel, 125x75 feet,
and their contents, were burned, little
il anything being saved beyond the
personal belongings of the pupils.
Superintendent II. w. Rothert. whose
Office was in the center of the build
ing, lost a valuable library and other
effects valued at $4,000
The fire was first discovered in the
floor between the kitchen and the
chapel Immediately overhead, and its
origin is unknown. The institution is
located beyond the fire limits of the
city and depends upon an independent
plant for protection. This plant was
utilized, but the pressure was insuf-
ficient, and when the city department
reached the buildings the flames were
beyond control. From the chapel they
swept north to the elevator shaft OF
the main building, both wings OF
which were soon in flames.
The fire department was helpless,
there being no engine, and the pump
ing station lacked power to force the
water through the line of hose laid
by the firemen.
Superintendent Rothert began re-
moving such furniture and the per
sonal belongings of the pupils as could
be secured with safety, and the rest OF
the building was permitted to burn
until the flames burned out.
The superintendent said that the
pupils would be sent to their homes
today. Last night they were tempo
rarily CHARTERED in the school and 9th
er buildings on the grounds.
This is the fourth state institution
to suffer heavily by fire within two
years, the others being at Iowa City,
Ames and Glenwood.
