Unfortunate Experience of Youth ir

Unfortunate Experience of Youth in
New York.
1T is not very often that tailors
collect cash for clothes they are un-
able to deliver" said an uptown mer.
chant, ''but singular instance of that
sort came under my observation last
week. A young man from the West
was in here wanting to know whether
he had left $50 on deposit for clothes:
He seemed very much disappointed
when I told him he had not.
1T appeared from his story that he
wanted about $500 worth of clothes in
a hurry-two or three business suits,
dress clothes, and some trousers. He
saw some patterns that he liked in a
shop window, was measured, and CON-
piled with the request for $50 on de-
post without word. He got re-
ceipt for it, Of course, and then went
down town to see some fellows he
knew from the West. They gave him
a rousing good time all day, and took
him to! the theater at night.
when he looked for that receipt in
the morning he couldn't find it. Then
he started from the hotel, thinking it
would be an easy thing to find the
tailor from whom he ordered the
clothes. But he couldn't remember
the name of the firm, nor was he sure
he could recognize the shop unless the
same goods were in the window. The
chances are ten to one they would not
be, or, at least, not arranged in the
same manner. About all that youth
knew was that the shop was on one Of
the cross streets somewhere between
Forty-second and Twenty-third, but he
didn't remember whether it was East
or West. He trotted around for two
or three hours telling other tailors
the same story he told us, but he
hadn't found his clothes when we babe
him goodbye. That is the funniest
case of forgetfulness have run across
in my experience in this business. -

Value Of Barnyard Manure.

Few realize the great value of barn.
yard manure, in comparison with 9th.
er fertilizers. In the regions devoted
to market gardening. barnyard ma,
nure is found to be a necessity, If
large quantities of commercial fer
tilizers are to be used. In some way
it assists the elements found in the
manure, even though these elements
may be the same as in the manure.
In Germany some experiments along
this line have given rather surprising
results. The greatest yields of. root
crops were obtained only when barn.
yard manure was used in conjunction
with the commercial fertilizers. The
experimenters there express the be-.
lief that this is due to the mechanical
effect on the soil of the barnyard ma
nure. Another surprising result was
the discovery that even though very
heavy application of nitrate of soda
was made, the plants took up>less nj
trogen than when barnyard manure
was used in conjunction with it., and
dressing Of barnyard manure alone
gave heavier crops of potatoes and
turnips' than when nitrogen, phos.
phoric acid and potash were applied
in their commercial forms. A new
fact seems to be brought to light, as
it is said that quantity of nitrogen
taken up from the barnyard manure
produced more substance than when
the same quantity was taken up from
the commercial fertilizer. Just how
much the difference was we do not
know, but if considerable, it should
lead to some experiments to find the
cause of this.
The barnyard manure was found to
be less valuable than manure from
stalls where it had not been exposed
to the weather.
These experiments teach lessons
that are applicable: to soils Of old
lands, or such as are deficient in nj.
trogen. It. is evident that in soils
having an abundance Of available nj
trogen and huraus, the application OF
barnyard manure would have little or
no effect. For it is manifestly. i'm.
possible to scientifically treat any
soil without knowing it's mechanical
construction, its content of available
plant. food and its usual supply OF
humus and moisture. =, +" fa},,yt* :555

That is one thing that makes senti-

The reason Texas must never be di-

Of States and the centralized govern
