TRAINING A LION.
A Daring Performance That Had a
Very simple Explanation.

A Daring Performance That Had a
Very simple Explanation.
Not long ago lion tanner who was
exhibiting I'm German circus IN Iol-
land attracted immense crowds at ev-
cry performance by doing what seemed
to be the most daring OF acts In the
lions cage. lie would climb into the
cage with great pieces Of meat and
throw II 10 the roaring bensts The
moment they had lcaped upon II he
would spring among them and put his
foot on IL. The animals would growl
furiously, and then, just ns the specta-
tors were all waiting brcathlcssly. ex-
pecting that the beasts would tear him
10 pieces, they would shrink back.
cowcd. After be had repeated this ex-
citing act for many days an English
man made n wager with him for n big
sum Of money that he would not dare
10 do IL after the lions had been starved
for three days. The trainer considered
for moment and then accepted the
wager. making only the condition that
hc he allowed to have three weeks Of
preparation.
At the end Of three weeks the trainer
announced that he was ready, and the
process Of starving the lions began.
The Engllshman kept guards posted
around the cage day and night 10 make
certain that not n morscl OF food should
be given 10 the animals. Al the expira-
tion OF the three days all Amsterdam
rushed To the circus. The lions were
maddcncd with hunger, as any one
could see and hear, for they roared
continually, and their attempts TO
break through the bars showed how
angry they had become. In the height
OF the uproar the trainer entered the
cage with nm immense piece OF beef In
his arms lie tossed II on the floor OF
the cage, raised his whip and, 10, not
one lion dared IN approach IT, The
mighty brutes lay Crouchcd. roaring
and growing so hard that their great
frames shook, and each kept his ter
rife yellow eyes fixed hungrily on the
meat. But not one Of them stirred.
The trainer stopped, lifted the beef
and tossed II TO them again, and In 4
moment the lions were I'm great
tawny ball, rcndng and snarling and
tearing, with blood from the mnnglcd
beef squirting all over the cage. The
Englishman paid his bet and then tried
To find out how tho lion tanner had ac-
qurcd such wonderful control over his
beasts. At first the man would not
toll. but M last he consented To cX-
plain It, During the three weeks pc
riod Of preparation he had always
starved the lions from the very begin.

would enter the cage with n piece Of
beef which had been soaked In kcro.
scnc oil The lions would no sooner
pouncc upon IL than they would shrink
away. sickcncd by the stencil. Then
he would throw them u fresh and good
piece of beef, which they would dcvour
I'm moment. The lions soon became
SO accustomed To expecting that the first
piece of beef that was thrown To them
was not good that at the end of three
days they would not even move from
their corners when the trainer threw II
on the floor Of the cage. They would
not try To eat anything except the sec
ond piece. So the daring trick had n
very simple explanation. n.-Washington

Phos-
phoric

1t will be noticed that there is a
wide variation in the total amounts of
plant food, due to the fact that some
of these crops produce an acre yield
many times that of others. Also, all
crops of the clover family are omit
ted, as they store up atmospheric nj
trogen, and therefore contain plant
food over and above that actually
necessary for their growth. On this
very account, fertilizers contain less
nitrogen than the crops they are in
tended to grow, as compared with the
potash and phosphoric acid, simply
because the clover is meant to sup
ply rather cheaply too, more or less
plant food nitrogen. There is one
more point to take into considers
ton. Phosphoric acid when applied
to the soil very quickly takes insolu-
BILE forms, which means in effect, that
it has become largely unavailable as
plant food. On this account, the
amount actually contained in the
crop is doubled in judging fertilizer
for same, this as a rough sort of COM
pensation for this tendency towards
taking insoluble forms. 1t is not very
accurate, but it is all we have, and its
error in all probability is on the safe
side.
Omitting the nitrogen in the above
table, and doubling the phosphoric
acid, we have the potash and phos-
phoric acid needs about as follows:

The Need of High Culture.

We can not obtain good fruit that
will have shipping and keeping quail
tiles from trees that are trying to
produce in an impoverished soil. Not
only should the rough cultivation be
given to sol! in orchards, but the soil
may need the application of some fer
tilizer. If there. is deficiency OF
mineral elements, fruit will have poor
shipping and keeping quality. Light
soils are usually deficient in potash
and phosphoric acid, while heavy or
clay soils may have an abundance of
these. For this reason apples grown
on light soils should be sent to our
home markets, while those grown
upon a clay soil can be shipped with
greater safety to foreign and distant
markets.
Another very important factor In
long keeping of fruit is perfect and
healthy foliage upon trees. 1t is the
function of the foliage to elaborate
the food that goes TO the building up
of vigorous growth of tree and
branch, to the development of the
fruit bud. If the leaves are eaten
and mutilated by insects or diseased
by fungous attack, there can be only
an imperfect development of fruit
that will be deficient in color and
flavor, that will slack in the box or
barrel and will not hold or keep long
in the market.-Cor. American Agri-
culturist

You risk nothing in leaving cotton
entirely out this time. Cotton costs
about what you get for it. The profit
is very small.
But when we advise men to do this
they reply: 1--WE are compelled to
raise cotton because we are in debt.
Well, that is the very reason you
ought to quit raising cotton. What
got you in debt? Was it not raising
cotton? Yea, verify. And raising cot

Again, we are met with the argu-
ment that we must plant cotton be-
cause it is the only crop that we can
get credit on. And we must have help
to make a crop.
Here it is again. This is the crop
that keeps you in debt because you
can mortgage it and eat it up before
you gather and deliver it. When you
