Economical FertilizinG.

Il
There are many farms throughout
the country whose owners cannot af-
ford TO fertilize them heavily or even
to give them the quantity needed to
keep them in fair condition. AS a re-
suit such farms are running down be-
cause the crops consume more fertile
Ing material than is suppl by the
farmer; In other words, tho crops are
drawing too heavily upon the stored
up fertility of the soil just as men
sometimes draw too heavily on the
stored-up or surplus vitality OF their
bodies.
Any soil to do the work required of
it should be fortified so that 1t will
be as nearly fertile after the crop Is
taken from IL as it was before, hence
fertilizers must be supplied in excess
of the needs of the growing crop. To
bring up a rundown farm is not an
easy task, especially when one is ham
pered in the free use IF fertilizing
material, but it may be done and in
extensively by the combination of
6Accn IbduuEes, tDUlIueICldl tIlltiASi ,,
stable manure and tillage.
Rely mainly on the legumes such as
COW peas, crimson clover and the vel
vet bean for humus and nitrogen; Use
stable manure scattered thinly over
the ground, and for commercial fer
tilizers use mainly those richest In
potash and phosphoric acid. Supple
ment these fertilizers by frequent and
thorough tlllage and the farm will
gradually improve. In growing any
crop one should have all the knowl-
edge possible of what plant food that
crop will take from the soil in the
greatest quantities, and in fertilizing
apply that particular food in excess
of the needs of the crop at least to
the extent that Is taken from the soil.
This is a complex study, but one
which surely needs close attention, for
upon 1t depends largely the future re-
suits from the farm.

CHECKS CLEARED BY PHoNE.
Novel Scheme Is Practiced in the
fProsperity Belt"

Novel Scheme Ia Practiced in the
"Prosperity Belt"
Down in the prosperity belt as
we call it, we've got the whole world
beat for real progress" said country
banker who was in the city last week,
as reported by the Chicago Inter
Ocean. After delivering this declara-
ton he bit the end of a black cigar
and settled back in chair in a lob
by of one of the big hotels.
Eyes, stree, we beat the world for
genuine progress" he continued
We've got something down in Cen
trail Illinois that you won't find any
where else on the globe. It's tele-
phone clearing house. We call it a
clearing house, and 1t works on the
same principle as the clearing house
right here in Chicago or in New York.
Now, you'd think banks couldn't
clear their checks by telephone, but,
as | said before, we beat the world
for progress, and have invented the
new system,
The whole scheme is very simple
and has proved a safeguard against
some of the bugaboOs that worry
bankers things as Overdrafts,
for instance Everyday at noon one
bank will call up another by tele-
phone. read off the amount of the
checks and the names of the drawers.
Some of these checks will be on the
bank at the other end of the wire
and some OF them will be drawn on
an institution with which that bank
has considerable business.
Now, you see, half a dozen or
more banks in one county or section
of the State can arrange certain
time for calling up some one bank,
which is the central bank. All the
banks call this one, notifying it they
have checks on it or upon any of the
others.
When each bank has found out
how much 1t owes the other banks up
until certain hour drafts are for
warded to cover the balances. By
using the telephone clearing house we
expedite business, saving an entire day
in many instances. It's paying
scheme and is pretty likely to be
adopted by other groups of country
banks wherever the telephone is in
general use"

We are frequently asked the best

When the nail has been removed, FOL
low the puncture through the sole or
frog to the soft tissues, then fill the
cavity with a solution made of equal
parts of gum camphor and carbolic acid
and pack with cotton. This treatmen
should be repeated daily until rocov-
cry is complete. Where this treatment
is promptly and properly carried out
nail wounds in the foot of the horse
rarely result in abscess and suppua

solution given. The cotton should be
