FERTILITY FOR PLANTS.

Remember that plants cannot make
use of fertility in the soil, that Is, plant
food, until the fertility can be dissolved
in water. There may be phosphate in
the rock, but the plant cannet feed
upon 1t until the rock has been dis.
solved by sulphuric acid and THIS work
the Fertilizer companies do for us.
Barnyard manure cannot be taken up
as plant food by trees, plants and vines
until it has decayed If we apply the
dressing of fresh stable manure to a
field this spring. which we plant to
corn or potatoes, that manure will not
be in condition to benefit the crop
until 1T rots, which will not occur
until midsummer, and some 'of it will
not be acceptable to the plants during
the entire season, portion remaining
for the succeeding crop another year
The humus added to the soil by the
'decaying manure may remain in the
soil for several years Most soils. par
ticularly clayey land, contains az
abundance of fertility to produce the
heaviest crop but the plant food in the
soil is not often in a soluble condition,
and therefore cannot be taken up by
the plants as food. The winter frosts
liberate much of the fertility Of such
soils, as also does frequent cultivation
and the action of rain, sun and air.

A Remarkable Bridge.

There is a remarkable bridge over
the river Indus at Rondu, in Northern
Kashmir. This fair looking structure
which crosses a rocky gorge, through
which the river runs at tremendous
rate-consists of three ropes, one foot
rope and two side ropes, joined to-
gether by short lengths of rope at
intervals of a few feet. The three
main ropes consist of long switches
of brushweod roughly bound together,
the two side strands being kept apart
by forked stakes at intervals of 20
feet Needless to say, the crossing
of these swinging. swaying structures
is not very pleasant experience, and
intrepid mountaineers have been
known to run sick with terror in the
middle, although the native coolies
cross most light-heartedly with heavy
loads. The bridge has been described
is CHE of the worst in the Himalayas.

HAY STACKING IN NORTHWEST.
Contrivances That Would Surprise an
Eastern Farmer.

Eastern Farmer.
In the Northwestern States where
! forage crops are cultivated for ex-
| port the stacking and baling of hay
is done largely by machinery, and the
| number of hands required to care for
1 the great crops that are grown is rel
, atively much smaller than in parts of
i the country where the size of the fields
and the amount of the crop would not
, justify the investment of a large sum
, of money in plant. There are a dozen
or more styles of stackers in common
use, some of them arranged with a
mast on which boom is rigged,
carrying a fork. This fork, a huge
affair which would pick up two or
three Eastern hay cocks at one mo-
tion, takes the hay from the wagon
racks and swings it up to the great
stack in which it is to be stored. One
mast and boom stacker carries a six
tined fork. The mast is held in place
by guy ropes from the top. The foot
of the mast rests on sled with run
ners, which may be staked to the
ground to hold it firm. The fork is
worked by team of horses, and does
the work of score of men. Another
form of this stacker has a grapple
fork, similar to the dredges used in
submarine excavation, which runs on
trolley wire, much like those made
familiar to New Workers by the ar
rangements for handling the material
excavated from the subway. Another
form of stacker looks like a derrick
from the oil fields, with a boom bal
anced on top. The advantage of this
form is that no guy ropes are neces-
sary, stakes at the base of the der
rick poles holding it firm while in op-
GRAFTON. Some of these derricks are
mounted on sled runners, and some on
wheels which are blocked when the
machine is in use. Another variation
of this scheme is derrick with re-
volving pole. The hay racks in which
material is brought to feed these great
machines are longer, wider and deep
er than those in use in the East, but
are built on lines much the same.

BRINGING UP THE VINEYARD.

While it is true that many vineyards
that are improbable are so because
they are old or because it is impossible
to get them over the ravages of the
rot, it IS also true that the majority
of the vineyards which are unprofita-
BILE are so because they have not re-
ceived proper care. An excellent plan
for bringing up the vineyard is to use
300 pounds of muriate of potash with
800 pounds of acid phosphate rock and
100 pounds of nitrate of soda to the
acre in the spring and 100 pounds add.
tional of the nitrate of soda alone In
June or early July. Keep the soil well
cultivated until the middle of August,
then SOW between the rows one or two
rows of field peas which, after cult.
waiting until they get start should be
allowed to grow and this growth
plowed under the following spring.
This plan adds humus to the soil, and
is especially recommended when there
is a dearth of stable manure, and In
many cases it is quite as good as the
stable manure, particularly when the
commercial fertilizers are used-Jn-

PEORIA TRAIN RUNS
INTO A PILE OF TIES

The evening passenger on the PeO-
ria arrived here few minutes late
Thursday night. due to a happening
near Bishop Hill which might have
resulted seriously. While the train
was moving along at its accustomed
rate Of speed the engineer sighted an
obstruction and before he had quite
controlled his locomotive it had run
into pile of tics which had been
placed across the track, No damage
was done. but fatal accident would
undoubtedly have resulted if the train
had not been slowed down. There is
no clue to the parties who apparently
tried to wreck the train.
