The Town Council met at the town
hall Monday and after transacting

retiring and Witthauer and Brown

The Rural Mail Carriers have
registered a kick against the man
ner in which many of the patrons
have erected their boxes for the re-
ception Of mail. There are two
ways which are found most con
venient for the carrier, without run
ming the risk of getting wheel or
whitfle-tree in contact with a post
or wire: the first is to set a post so
that the slant will be about IS
inches out of perpendicular, saw
the post square off at the top and
then secure the box. The second
plan is to set the post straight and
firmly in the ground, nail or a
couple of boards one at each side
the height intended and support
the outer ends by board reaching
from the ground and fasten the box
to this. Either plan gives salts
faction and always remember the
carrier is not obliged to get out OF
his wagon to deposit or take out
mail matter. He is a busy and
hard-worked man and should re.
ceive all the aid possible to make
his burden lighter.

Land Ad.

Your notice is called to the half
page ad of Highland P. Lockwood,
of Kansas City, for Missouri and
Kansas land. The cry has been the
past year for cheap land. Missouri
has been giving men that oppo1-
tunity and Kansas is just opening
or being found out. The first set
or two that go to new country
starve out because they do not
know what the country will pro-
duce and put in wrong grains. The
people of Kansas now know what it
will raise and hence it will be the
paradise for cheap land.

THE CHATEAU DIFF.

The Chateau DIFF is for sale. Ev-
cry reader of Dumas knows the
Chateau DIFF, which is referred to
in the first part of "Monte-C Christie"
Of course, Edmond Dantes and his
friend, the able, are purely mag
mary characters, but Dumas de-
scriptive powers breathed such life
into them that many visitors to the
Chateau DIFF ask to see the cells
where the heroes of the novel were
incarcerated. 1t is reported that
the keeper of the castle made a very
profitable income by pointing these
cells out, and it is also related that
Dumas himself on visit to If great
ly enjoyed the joke. The chateau is
to be sold by order OF The ministry
of war, and the sale was to have been
conducted at the Marseilles town
hall recently. 1t having been re-
ported, however, that the building
was to be restored and converted
into gambling palace, the authori-
ties postponed the sale in order to
insert in the conditions If sale an
antigambling clause.

Do Stars Explode?

The appearance of new star in
the constellation Perseus and its
rapid expansion into a nebula, which
has been going on for some time
past, have revived among astrono-
mers the theory that some nebula
may be formed by explosion, says
Success. About 1870 Professor Bick-
erton of Canterbury college, New
Zealand, showed that if two stars
should Craze one another the abrad-
ed parts if relatively small would
have SO high a temperature that
they would at once become nebulous
and that the nebula so formed would
under certain conditions continue
to expand until disSipated in space.
The present expanding nebula has
been growing at the extraordinary
rate of several thousand miles a sec
ond and is in many ways one of the
greatest celestial wonders Of the
time.

Commercial fertilizers are chemical
ly prepared plant food. They are mix
lures which contain, or are supposed
to contain, certain clements in soluble
form which will increase the crops. 4
fertilizer containing S-2-2 means that
you expect to find 8 per cent of phos-
phOric acid. AS there are 1000 pounds
in ton this would give 20 times S-1GO
pounds Of phosphoric acid in ton. so
twice 90 forty) pounds Of ammonia
and twice 20 forty) pounds of potash.
All these give you 240 pounds OF Solu-
bic plant food in Il ton. TIC rest OF
the ton is worthless to the crop. AS
we commonly use about 200 pounds per
acre, or 4 ton to ten acres, this gives us
sixteen pounds of phosphoric acid.
four pounds Of ammonia and four
pounds of potash per acre. These
small amounts cannot permanently i'm
prove the soil, and S-2-2 is entirely too
low grade to be sold or bought or
used. We should have at least 1929
or 1920
We must remember that nitrogen in
creaSes the size Of the plant, phosphoric
acid increases tho fruit and potash in
creases the health. If we cconom!Zc
our vegetable matter ard take care of
the rainwater, we will need very little
nitrogen.
We have repeatedly urged our read
erS to buy the material and do their
own fertilizer mixing This iS much
cheaper and more satisfactory in every
way. The better plan IL for the farm
ers In each community to club together
and buy carloads OF the several Gle
mcntS wanted and divide these among
themselves and cach mix according to
tho crop he wishes to fertilizo, BY do
Ing this they can save nearly one third
of the cost and make much larger
crops, because each crop viii get what
it needs.
MCrlatc Of potash IL the cheapest
form to buy potash. Nitrate OF soda Ia
the cheapest source OF nitrogen, but In
many places cOttonSeed meal will be
found more convenient and quite as
good for most purposes when mixing.
For top dressing there Is nothing equal
to nitrate Of soda This IL duo to the
fact that 1t more readily dlssolves and
enters more quickly into tho plants. 1t
