A Batch of Notes from Our Washington
Correspondent.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The Committee on Agriculture of
the House has been asked to secure
legislation which will give the Secre-
tary of Agriculture authority, after
an inspection of live stock, to issue
a certificate to the shipper which will
permit of his transportation from
one State to another and through
States, without further inspection by
State authorities. 1t was explained
that by a recent decision of the Su-
preme Court, cattle may be stopped
at any State line, thus affording a
serious interference to interstate
commerce in cattle.

Secretary Wilson appeared before
the House Committee on Agriculture
December 10th and explained the ur-
gent necessity of an immediate ap-
preparation to enable his Depart
ment to stamp cut the foot and
mouth disease now prevalent in New
England. He stated that it had been
found necessary to kill all infected
cattle and he had ordered their
slaughter. He estimated that 1T
would require about 100000 to kill
the disease, arrangements having

Tobacco in Martin.

Hon. Harry W. Stubs, of Martin
County, who is here as a member of
the committee to examine books and
vouchers in the treasury and audi
tors office, says the people of his
county are unusually prosperous.
There are two tobacco markets in the
Jacksonville and William
ston-each of which will sell as much
as 100000 pounds of leaf this year.
The former was established three
years ago and the latter is now in its
fi1st season. Mr.. Stubbs estimates
that between six and seven thousand
dollars have been paid out daily
since the new crop sales began to the
farmers of Martin County.-Raleigh
Post.

ne famous Texas steer

The famous Texas steer about
which so much has been written in
history and which until quite recent
times has figured in the development
of the Great Southwest, is fast be-
coming extinct. The Texas steer and
it's companion, the cowboy, are both
passing" and will be known soon
only in fiction and history. The
'1onghorns" are vanishing before the
onward movement of the blooded
stock of the North and East. Gero-
nimo, famous long-horned animal
from Texas, when 36 years old had
a pair of horns measuring nine feet
and a half from tip to tip.

AGRICULTURE
Cotton Fertilizing.
,rogressive Farmer :

Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:
Too many planters have to fertil-
;ze cotton with such materials as
thew can get. especially if well en-
meshed in the books of the local
dealer. However, it seems that the
interests of the dealer are really in
the line of a good crop, and conse-
nuentIy the quality of the fertilizer
they deal out to their following de-
serves a careful examination. A
great many fertilizers are COM
pounded to suit the materials most
convenient, and with but little re-
gard to the actual needs of the crops
for which same is designed. This
fertilizer formula problem is far
from being an insuperable one, but
it does require a little study.
For example, an average cotton
crop Of 300 pounds of lint per acre,
produces from the soil a great deal
more than this 300 pounds lint;
there are grown also some $50
pounds of seed, 1000 pounds of bolls
and leaves, and about 900 pounds of
stems and roots. Now, fertilizers is
used by all these products quite as
much as by the lint, and to make the
one, the other must also be made.
Consequently, in figuring out what
the crop needs in the line of plant
food, we must take all these more
or less useless products into con-
sideration.
For a crop such as is outlined
above, taking the whole plant growth
into consideration, the actual plant
food used amounts to Al pounds of
nitrogen, 40 pounds of potash and
Z pounds of phosphoric acid. A
great deal of this nitrogen may and
does come from the growth of cow
peas or some plant of the same class.
these plants have the power of tax
ing the inert nitrogen from the air,
and converting it into such forms
that 1t is useful as food for plants.
Perhaps half the nitrogen needed by
the cotton crop is obtained in this
manner, at least it should be, and we
must consider it done to figure on
economical manuring. Also, the
phosphoric acid is hard to keep in
available form in the soil, and the
fertilizer application of this ingre-
uent should be at least doubled.
From this point of view, a good
cotton fertilizer should be such as
10 give to the crop per acre, about
% pounds of nitrogen, 40 pounds of
potash, and 25 pounds of available
Phosphoric acid. 1t is impossible to
expect the crop to reach and assim-

Physical Culture at It's Best.

The training of sound body is con-
' sidered of as much importance at
Swarthmore College as intellectual Cul-
ture. 1t receives the same discriminate
ing direction and care. The handsome
gymnasium recently built is the latest
evidence of this.
But physical culture at Swarthmore
is ntelligently conducted, a course of
, training is prescribed for each indl-
vidual case to meet the individual need.
AS result the health record of
Swarthmore is remarkable
In this, as we'll as in every other de-
partment the advantage of the small
college" is manifest, 1t makes possible
that close personal relation between in
structor and student that awakens and
develops the best there is in man or
woman.
The same discrimination, thorough
equipment and intelligent direction eX-
tend to every branch of the college
work-the libraries. the physical,
chemical and biological laboratories
machine shops, astronomical observa-
tory, etc.
Swarthmore is cO-educational. 1t
offers four courses-Arts, Science, Let
tiers and Engineering. 1t is under the
conservative, yet progressive manage
ment of Frlends-yet Is distinctly nom
sectarlan 1t is ideally located amid
200 acres of wood and lawn, affording
ample opportunity for all kinds of out
door sports. For catalogue and fur

r1REMEN ARE SUSTAINED.
District Board of the United Mine
Workers Adjourn.

After three days spent in considering
various grievances, the district board of
the United Mine Workers adjourned
yesterday afternoon
AT the conclusion of the session.
President Nichols stated that the
board had decided to give out nothing
for publication except that II had sus-
tained the action of the Pettebonc and
Avondale firemen in refusing to agree
to swing" shift of eight hours when
changing on Sunday from night to day
work, instead of a twcnty-four hour
straight shift every two weeks.
What this action signifed or what
would follow If the discharged firemen
are not taken back, Mr.. Nichols said
he was not at liberty to state.
Nothing would be told as to what ac-
tion was taken on the grievance from
the Nottingham, which was shut down
by the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre COM
pany, when the board demanded the
reinstatement of three men discharged,
supposedly, for inspecting working
cards.
Mr.. Nichols was also dumb as to
what was done regarding the complaint
that the Delaware and Hudson COM
pany has increased the size of the cars
at it's newly acquired Florence colliery,
without making a commensurate in
crease in wages.
Mr.. Nichols says that nearly all the
companies endeavored to have their
firemen agree to the Swing shift" but
that the Delaware. Lackawanna and
Western is the only one which attempt
ed to force such an agreement.
President Nichols went to Nanticoke
yesterday afternoon to join his wife
and children, who are visiting her
parents there.

MAX HERRING is
AGAIN in TROUBLE
Arrested for Stealing the Horse That
Byron Simrell Was Last April
Convicted of Stealing.

At the April term of quarter sessions
last year, Byron Simrell. of Scott, was
convicted of stealing horse. 1t wasn't
much of horse but still it was horse
and when the jury said he was guilty
the judge sent him up for year.
SimrelIs defense was a complete de-
nial of the theft and an allegation that
he bought the horse for $40 from a
young man who gave the name of
Eppstein.
At the last term of criminal court,
Max Herring, of this city, whose va
rious escapades have made him a con-
spicuous figure in aldermanic and coun-
ty courts, was convicted Of stealing s17
from lunch wagon and sentenced to
ten days and costs.
One day, recently, Warden Simpson
brought out a lot of the prisoners and
put them at work cleaning up the Jail
yard. Simrell and Herring We're among
the lot. Simrell no sooner saw Herring
than he exclaimed, by golly there's
the fellow I bought that horse from"
He went up to Herring, berated him
roundly for allowing him to be con-
victed of horse stealing and told him
he would get even.
Simrell got out February last. Her.
ring was discharged yesterday, on a
county commissioners petition, after
he had served his ten days and fifteen
days for costs.
AS Herring emerged from the JAIL
Constable Arowtz, of Olyphant, took
him into custody on a warrant sworn
out by Simrell charging him with horse
stealing. He was taken to Olyphant
and given a hearing and in default of
bail committed
Simrell declares that he has served
time for an offense he is entirely in
nocent of, and that he will prove this
by proving Herring the thief.

POSTMASTER AT DALTON.
MI. Tiffany Still Doing Business at
the Old Stand.

In The Tribune of February IL an AS
sociated Press dispatch from Washing
ton. dated February II, announced the
appointment of w. Is. Frost as post
master at Dalton, Lackawanna coun-
ty.' This looked strange, but as the
dispatch came too late for investigation
that night it was printed.
Inquiry was made next day of the
postmaster general. The following let
ter received yesterday from Hon. j. H.
Bristow, fourth assistant postmaster
general, shows how the error happened:
William X. Frost was appointed
postmaster at Hallton, Elk county, Pa,
on February II, 1902. The published list
of postmasters appointed on that date
was in error, as it stated that Mr.. Frost
was appointed at Dalton, Lackawannna
county, Pa
All is well that ends well.
