American Fertilizer.
There are but few farmers, compared with
the whole number. who do not plant q
larger acreage than they can attend to
profitably the consequence being smaller
crops in proportion TO cost than should be
the case. Instead of forty bushels OF corn
per acre the farmer should secure eighty
bushels. The smaller yield is more expen-
sive than the larger, while the time ex-
pended twenty acres is much greater
than ten, the manure also being dis
tributed over too large a surface 10 permit
OF any portion OF the crop receiving a sufti-
cheney OF plant food. II the expense and
labor bestowed on twenty acres could be
concentrated on ten, the yields would be
doubled, and leave the farmer ten acres on
which TO grow some other crop. In periods
OF drouth the farmer who puts his work
on the smaller plot will give IL better culti-
walton and save his crop, while other farm
ers may not be so fortunate. Intensive cul-
ture leads TO systematic rotation OF crops.
and the land will be improved by diversity
OF crops. All farmers have manure but
they derive but little benefit therefrom,
because they endeavor to apply IL over too
much land. Give the land the plant food
and il will repay for all expense bestowed.

new PLEASURE RESORT
IDEAL SPOT HAS BEEN CHOSEN ON
THE TIPPECANOE RIVER.
w. III. Freeman, of the Forestry Board,
Has Assisted I'm Laying Out Site and
Is Enthusiastic About 1t.

When the summer resorts of the State
open next year to the crowds of pleasure
seekers that flock from the cities at the
first touch OF summer, there will be a
new pleasure resort, not so many miles
away. inviting them to it's shady hooks
and waterways and weekly balls. Secre-
tary Freeman, of the Forestry Board. has
just returned from trip up the Tippe-
canoe river to a point about half way be-
tween Delphi and Monticello, where the
Krietenstein Brothers have purchased a
tract of twenty acres, which they have set
aside for the purpose of converting it into
a summer resort. Secretary Freeman was
invited to inspect the site and aid in the
planning of the park. on which work has
already begun, in order to have it ready
for use when the season opens in the
spring.
Mr.. Freeman says that the site is one
of the prettiest he has seen in the State.
1t commands a view of the Tippecanoe in
either direction. The river at that point
is about half mile wide There is an
abundant supply of spring water at hand
and the land is in wild and sylvan state
Before the season opens a traction COM
pany is to build dam across the river
several miles DeioW, WHICH VIII make the
river much wider at the point of the pleas

tunities for launching, sailing and bathing
The spot is about eight miles north OF
Delphi and can be reached easily, either
by train or by water.
The Kreitenstein Brothers are now build
ing cottages, boat and bathing houses
and a hotel with dancing pavilion 20 by
40 feet Mr.. Freeman predicts that before
many seasons the resort will be the most
popuIar in the State. The Tippecanoe has
long been popular with fishermen and
campers of the State.

ufacturers and Jobbers will be in Indian
apolis to-day for the annual convention
of the association. Headquarters have been
established at the Claypool Hotel and the
sessions will be opened there at 10 o'clock
this forenoon.
The advance guard of the manufacturers
and jobbers began pouring in last night and
each one, upon his arrival at the Claypool,
was given a neat little badge that is
of much more significance than the badges
usually furnished delegates to such conven-
tions. These badges mark the wearers as
the guests of the Indiana Manufacturing
Company and the mere wearing of them
carries the open sesame to everything in
the Claypool, from wine cellar to roof gar
den. The Indiana Manufacturing Company
is entertaining the convention, as it has
done for the past five years and will prob
ably do for many years to come and has
spared no efforts and expense In prepa-
ration for the comfort and pleasure of its
guests. The company foots all the bills
upon the strength of the little badges issued
TO the members of the association and the
latter can secure anything they may desire
at cigar stand bar, cafe or dining room.
The officers of the association are:
Presdent-General Z. d. McDougal, of
Auburn, n. Y.
Vice president-G. w. Hanly, of Mari
nette, Wis.
Secretary Z. Swayne, of
Richmond, Ind.
Its object, as stated by the officers. is
to bring the manufacturers and jobbers
in closer touch, allay business rivalries,
tend to prevent injurious forms of compe-
tition and discuss topics of trade interest.
No attempt is made, however, it is claimed,
to regulate prices, and the association is
not a trust.

Having written several booklets on onion
culture, the public seems to suppose that
know something about onion growing; and
yet have to plead ignorance There are
quite a number of problems that still puz-
zle me. One is how to start onions I'm the
fall. winter the plants in open ground. and
make crop of dry bulbs in June or July.
1 know it can be done. as was proved to
me last spring, when a few volunteer plants
that had sprung up in the strawberry patch
in the fall (probably from seed accidentlly
dropped) made most excellent good-sized
bulbs that were ready for harvesting soon
after the middel OF June. They. were Q
large, fat white onion. of the Portugal type.
possibly Beaulieu's hardy white winter.
unfortunately. they were pulled up. and ac-
grow seed from them. Another problem Is
how to start onion seedlings In the fall, and
winter them over for planting out In open
ground in the spring Possibly plants may
be grown and held over in the cold-frame
in the same way that we used TO grow and
winter cabbage and lettuce plants. A
reader in Highland. N. Y. asks whether IL
is possible to winter such plants In a frame
covered with cloth, A good many things
are possible. However, in my experience
cloth has never proved to be a good substi-
frames, and in my estimation IL Is WORTH
less as winter cover for plants In frames.
There are other problems In onion cul.
ture that I hope will be solved some day.
There is lots of room for study and expert
ment.

Mrs Martha Foote Crow dean of women
at Northwestern University, is reported to
have informed the young ladies under her
direction that she does not approve the
phrases Yes. SIR and Yes. ma am" be-
cause they are ''old-fashioned.
With reference to Yes. ma'am." Mrs.
Crows condemnation will be generally APP
proved. says the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t
Is merely an impolitely slipshop rendering
of Yes, madam" and never was in good
taste or fashion, old or new. And doubt
less Mrs. Crow is correct in condemning
Yes, SIR and Yes, madam" as old
fashioned"
ners as practiced by those to the manner
born can regard a verdict which records
the passing away of those phrases without
a natural sigh OF pensive regret.
There was something in the tone in
which a gentleman OF the old school said
Yes, sir, or Yes, madam, whose place
in social intercourse those who remember
it can hardly believe will be supplied ade-
quately by any other FORMS
In his utterance of these words such a
gentleman recorded conviction of the
equality or all gentlemen. regardless of
the accidents of wealth or station, and of
the Difference due to all women. simply be-
cause they were women. so simple, natural
and instructive that no explanation or ar
gument was needed to support or defend il
In his use of those words he recorded his
instructive conviction that politeness,
whether to equals. superiors or interiors
was neither tribute OF respect to power
nor n condescension to weakness. but was
made necessary by self-respect in himself
and was a just tribute to the self-respecs
OF others
Standing thus upon the broad founda-
ton OF mutual self-respect, the old-style
manners smoothed the path of life because
they implied real equality between all
well-bred men, and real derefence of
such men to all women that is not appar-

CITY ATTORNEYS OPINION.
He Says Majority RemOnstrance Is
Necessary to Defeat Improvement.

Necessary to Defeat Improvement.
Acting on the opinion of City Attorney
Warrum the Board of Works yesterday
adopted the resolution providing for cement
sidewalks on Tenth street from the Big
Four tracks to Arsenal avenue, over a re-
monstrance of half the resident property
owners. The city attorney held that
majority of the resident property owners
is necessary to kill an improvement reso-
luton. David Wallace, the Republican and
minority member of the board, protested
that the remonstrance of half the prop
erty owners would block the improvement,
but the resolution was adopted Colonel
Downing and Mr.. Woessner, the Democratic
members, voting for it.
After listening to protests of Ruckle street
property owners that the gravel roadway
Improvement of Ruckle street, between
Seventeenth and Twenty-fir streets, was
not made according to the specifications
and that the contractor put on poor quail
a good grade, the Board Of Works yester-
day referred the matter to the city en-
giner. The old Board of Works never ac-
cepted the Improvement City Attorney
Warrum has held that the new board does
not have to accept the improvement If 1t
is found that 1t was not made according
to specifications.
John s. Lazarus appeared before the
board and protested that the property own
ers on Thirty-sxth street, between Illinois
and Meridian streets, should not be made
to pay for the cement sidewalks and curb
recently put down there, because the walks
and curb are out of line. The assessment
has been approved. The board instructed the
city engineer to look into the matter.
The board will send a communication
to Council recommending that the ordinance
to give the Indianapolis Union Railway
Company authority to lay additional tracks
across keystone avenue be passed. The
city engineer approved the ordinance.

SITE FOR A PESTHOUSE
MAYOR HOFFMAN AND HEALTH
BOARD MAY SOON DECIDE.
Remodeling of City Hospital Also to
BE COnsidered-Cfty Attorneys
Opinion-Municipal Affairs.

Two matters of much immediate impor-
tance-the selection of a site for the new
pesthouse and the perfecting of arrange
ments for extensive remodeling of the City
Hospital-may be disposed of this week by
Mayor Hoffman and the Board Of Health.
The Council finance committee will also be
much concerned in these matters.
Mayor Hoffman and the members of the
Board of Health and the members of the
Council finance committee will have a con-
ference to-day. perhaps this morning, at
the mayors office. The mayor has called
the Board of Health and the finance COM
nittee together to talk over with them the
immediate needs of the City Hospital, and
also to discuss the proposed ordinance ask
ing for special appropriation with which
to build the pesthouse. The mayor has
studied the report of the Board of Health
concerning its investigation of the City
Hospital, and he will place before the
finance committee, which directs the finan-
cial affairs of the Council what are the
most urgent needs of the institution. The
conference to-day is to decide how large
an appropriation to ask Council for at once
with which to make immediate repairs and
changes.
The pesthouse question is likely to be
ulSpOSeu OIL tnlS week. Inc BOARD or Health
has two sites under consideration-one
short distance north of the City Hospital
and one a short distance west-and If the
city engineer says it will be feasible to
locate the pesthouse on either one of these
tracts the board likely will decide upon one
OF them in few days and make its recon-
mendation to the Board of Works.
Mayor Hoffman says the Board of
Health will have to ask Council for a spe-
cial appropriation with which to build the
pesthouse. The amount of the proposed
appropriation has not been determined upon
yet, 1t Is understood. This matter will
likely be discussed to-day at the conference
at the mayors office. The board has money
| with which to buy site for the pesthouse,
| but has none with which to put up the
building.
These two ordinances-for money with
| which to remodel and repair the City Hos
| pital and for funds with which to build the
| pesthouse-will be the last financial meas
| ures of much importance introduced by the
new administration this fall, il is thought.
The members of the Board of Works
| probably will be asked by the mayor and
| the Board of Health TO improve the condi-
| ton of the approaches to the City Hospital.
| 1t is said the approaches are rough now
| and they should be made smooth.

Industrious little contrivances complain
that the supply is shorter than before. and

by the company, however, that as soon as
meters are used by all consumers the

at no increase in price.
During the past nine months more than
10000 has been spent In drilling gas wells
In Kokomo ard suburbs. The cool weather
of the past week has made people wish
they had their money back The wells were
nearly all producers and answered every
purpose during the summer months, but
the first touch of cold weather killed nearly
all of them, and the best are expected to
play out wien real winter arrives
About fifty or these wells were drilled
inside the corporate limits and all are dead
save perhaps half a dozen. The 100000
spent in sinking the wells would have
bought coal TO have supplied the investors
two years or more 1t hoped that a
second working OF the gas field would be
profitable. but II proved a losing invest
ment- Had the drilling stopped at half a
dozen wells the supply might have lasted
but the drilling continued until the field was
killed
Kokomo now has the largest coal trade
In Its history. New yards are being estab-
lished and old ones enlarged. Hardware
dealers are having the biggest stove trade
on record.
