Lady Curzon is not the only Ameri.
can woman whose husband rules over
a colonial empire, says the Berlin
correspondent Of the New York Times.
"A similar position Is also held by the
Countess Won Goetzen, who Is now in
Berlin with her husband Count Won
Goetzen, the governor of German East
Africa.
The count, while in Berlin on re.
cent leave of absence, talked In an
interesting manner Of the country Of
which he is governor.
German East Africa is double the
size of Germany" he said, "and has a
population of 100000, Of which only
1000 are Europeans. The country is
very, productive and rich in mineral
wealth I am now seeking capital for
the purpose Of building a railroad to
connect Kiwa, in the neighborhood

Plan of Cattle Barn.

Eastman Bros, of Illinois, in the
Breeders Gazette, describe the plan
Of cattle barn which they have
used for several years.
The barn is 96 feet by 4S feet. 1t
Is pole barn with posts 20 feet high,
and corncrib so by IL feet runs
through the center of the barn. The
lower boards of the crib are hinged
and feed boxes built on level with the
crib bottom so as to make practically
a self-feeder, especially when feeding
shelled corn. Hogs sleep under the
corncrib.
Hayracks on the sides are eighty feet
long. Hay is put in at the ends Of
the barn. Sliding doors, controlled by
weights, are used at the ends Of the

side of the haymow. When filing the
NOW we leave space of four feet
between tile hay and the sides Of the
barn, which enables tts to throw hay
into the racks when feeding. The
south end is open. The north end has
doors which we close In bad weather.
We have lots on the north, south and
east of the barn and scales east Of

Much Of the advice in favor of deep
blowing is out of place on hill farms
with the topsoil only six to eight inches
deep. Flowing which brings much
subsoil to the top is not desirable. But
there are many fields with good depths
of rich, dark loan that have never
been properly worked. Such lands
need never be called worn out until
thorough blowing and narrowing again
has enabled the plant roots to get at
some Of the locked-up fertility in the
bottom layers. Simply to bring up the
lower soil and then to turn 1t down
again the following season is not need.
ed SO much us to thoroughly twist and
fine the soil, exposing 1t to air and
sun. For potatoes and root crops deep
blowing is desirable. also to loosen the
soil for root and tuber growth.-Amer-

to Africa not merely as military man
but as one who by travel and numer-

conditions. His methods have been
unbureaucratic, and In every possible
way he has given active support to
the merchants and planters living In

Brown presided over its affairs. After
wards the widow Hayiland came into
possession, and in Washington's let

and decent inn at Rye, at which he
stopped Oct. 10, 1889. The Rye people
gave Gen. Lafayette n great reception
In 1924, when he was touring from
Boston to New York, and the French
hero slept in the same room occupied
by Washington. For generations the
stage coaches from Boston and New

CURED in Northern California recently,
During the day the Thermometer had
fallen, and about four o'clock there
was slight fall Of snow. There had
been no thunder or lightning during
the day. Suddenly and without warn
Ing, from what appeared clear spot
III the heavy bank of clouds overhead,
brilliant ball of fire shot from the
sky and struck the ground on farm
about two miles east of Anderson, a
small hamlet. The illumination was
plainly visible in Redding, thirteen
miles distant. A few seconds after
the descent Of the fire ball there was
loud report like a mighty explo-
sion. The shock was felt In Redding,
where windows ratified and houses
shook. In the village of Anderson the
people were panic-stricken. Glass in
windows was broken. walls were
cracked, houses rocked as though
tossed by an earthquake. and tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light
wires were put out Of action for Q
time.

Variation. in Wood A.he.,


There Is no commercial fertilizer
that Is more variable in composition
than wood ashes, and while such ashes
are valuable Under certain conditions
1t is unsafe to buy them without first
having the percentage Of potash ascer-
tanned by analysts. Experiments have
shown that there is vast range in
the percentage of potash in different
samples of wood ashes, hence, without
the analysis, as suggested, one may
easily be led into paying double the
value of the ashes. There is not SO
much variation in the phosphoric acid
content, but as the chief need of the
wood ashes is for the potash content,
one easily sees the Importance Of being
reasonably sure the ashes contain the
desired proportion of potash. The
value Of this suggestion would be
readily seen if the crop to be grown
was potatoes, where If the ashes were
used MS n fertilizer at all they would
he used almost wholly for the potash
they contained.
