True Value of FertIlizers

The farmer who buys brand OF
fertilizer because it is low in price per
ton may get a bargain, or he may be
buying dirt and paying railroad
freight on several hundred pounds OF
1t in every ton. He may be wise, but
we think he is otherwise. What is val,
liable in commercial fertilizer is the
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
it contains. The experiment stations
of most of the states where fertilizers
are used and sold publish bulletins on
this subject that all concerned should
read and study.-Farm Journal.

We're Afraid Of the wasps.

Richard Harding Davis relates thi'
incident, which happened while he
was acting as correspondent during
the English Boer war:
A regiment of Scottish Highlanders
noted for their bravery in action, dur
ing the heat of one battle were sud
denly seen to break ranks and run in
all directions. The officers as well
shared in the stampede, and apparent
ly made no attempts to urge the men
under them into line Their behavior
was a surprise to everybody on the
field, and after the battle was over
the colonel of the regiment was sum
moned before Gen Roberts.
"What the devil was the matter
with your regiment?' asked "Bobs,
We'll" replied the colonel, there
is not man in the regiment afraid
of a Dutchmans bullet, but we were
steered into field literally infested
with wasps' nests, and you know, gen,
eral, we were all in kits and with
bare legs. New York Times

Naturally, Charlie Stuart vas justi-
fed In believing the girl to be the child
Of some Flemish citizen. True, she
was not dressed in the usual Dutch
fashion, but her golden tresses and
blue eyes. that shonc like twin stars,
made him take the fact for granted.
He was, therefore. considerably sur
prised when. %springing to her feet, she
advanced a step or two toward them,
holding out her hands. a look Of great
Joy illuminating her face, and in n
voice which the echoes of her recent
sobs still haunted, addressed them in
purest English:
"Oh, sirs. Heaven has heard my
prayer and sent o to my rescue"
Stuart made up his mind then and
there. strange as such a proceeding
might he. that there was a deeper myH-
terry about the presence of this young
girl in these terrifying surroundings
than had at first occurred to him.
Many things united to make him be-
lieve this-the fact of her not being
missed by her party, her manne in
avoiding any reference to the friends
who should be SO anXious-yes, then
and there he became convinced that u
story lay back of it as startling as any
product of an opium smokers dream.
Charlie knew ii would be well for him
to divert the girls mind as much as
possible from the horrors she had so
recently been forced to face. Thus as
they walked along. he even grew
somewhat merry, and his object vas
accomplished, since the girls temper
airy trembling fit had passed away and
she was now calm enough to ask Ques.
tons regarding their opportune pres
ence in the dismal place.

Attorney General Knox Believes
Meat Combine illegal.
ORDERS SIPS TAKEN To BRfAK I!


A Washington, April "a, dispatch
says: Attorney General Knox made
the following statement regarding the
so-called beef trust:
"On April 4 this department directed
w. A. Day, Esq, of Washington, in his
capacity as special assistant to the at
torney general, to examine into. as far
as practicable. the public charges to
the effect that q combination of the
large meat dealers of the United states
had been effected contrary to the pro-
visions of the laws Of the United
States. This preliminary examination
resulted in instructions to Mr.. Day and
Mr.. Bethea, United States attorney ut
Chicago, on April Z. to prosecute sim
ultaneously in Chicago and the east a
more particular examination into the
allegations and proofs alleged to exist
In support thereof. From their reports
! am satisfied that sufficient evidence
is in hand upon which bills in equity
for an injunction can he framed TO re-
strain the combination mentioned from
further proceeding under their agree
mcnts. which clearly appear to be in
restraint OF interstate trade.
Il have, therefore, in compliance
with the law, which provides: 1T shall
be the duty of the several district at
torneys Of the United States in their
respective districts under the direction
Of the attorney general to institute
proceedings in equity to prevent and
restrain violations of this act direct
ed the district attorney at Chicago to
prepare q bill for an Injunction ngainst
the corporations and persons who are
parties to the combination mentioned
To be filed in the United states circuit
court for the northern district of H.
linois."
A Chicago representative of the
packing house said that the packers
welcomed a full investigation of their
relations with each other and the con-
duct of their business. In their be-
half he entered n denial To all charges
that they are In combination to con-
troll prices or in restraint OF trade.
