Armies Of cIvIl War cOntrasted.

Mr.. Cassenove J. Lee of Wash
ington, a recognized authority on
Civil War statistics, has prepared
an interesting table showing the
enormous numerical superiority of
the Northern Army over that of the
South during the Civil War. Mr..
Lees figures show that the total
enlistments in the Northern Army
were 2,77S,3 3o4, as against 600, 900
in the Confederate Army. The for
eigners and negroes in the North
ern Army aggregated 68o,9I7, or
SO, ,oI7 more than the total strength
of the Confederate Army. There
were 3r6, 4a4 men of Southern birth
in the Northern Army. Mr.. Lees

FERTlLlZlNG THE POTATO.
Home Mixed Versus Factory Mixed
FertIIIEers-Barnya Manure.

Home Mixed Versus Factory Mixed
FcrtIlIrers-Barnyar Manure.
A thorough preparation of the soil
and subsequent intensive cultivation of
the crop, aside from favorable weather
conditions, are not sufficient to insure
a large yield in many localities where
potatoes are grown for the market. An
increase in the yield under such condi-
lions is effected by the judicious use of
barnyard manure and commercial fer
tilizers. The potato requires liberal
manuring, but 1t sometimes happens
that the applications customarily used
result either In n loss or in Il reduced
profit because the different plant food
elements were not properly balanced
or the same quantity or quality OF
plant food was not obtained at the
lowest cost. The results of Il number
Of experiments throwing light on this
problem OF rational fertilizer treatment
for potatoes are here briefly noted.
The New Hampshire station has re-
Gently published the results Of series
of experiments mainly devoted to the
study of the potato fertilizer problem.
An application of 800 pounds per acre
of ready mixed fertilizer was used in
comparison with an equal quantity Of
home mixed fertilizer. Both applica-
tons contained per cent Of nitrogen.
per cent of phosphoric acid and 10
per cent of potash. The plant food Gle
ments in the home mixed fertilizer
were furnished in $50 pounds of nitrate
of soda. 1928 pounds OF sulphate of
ammonia, 5G2.5 pounds OF bone black
and 300 pounds of muriate of potash.
With the ready mixed fertilizer 279 ID
bushels of large tubers and 90 bushels
of small tubers were obtained per acre.
and with the home mixed 272 bushels
of large tubers and 20 % bushels of
small tubers, the total yields being
$3.50 1-3 and 342 % bushels per acre re
spectively. The results, so far as the
yield is concerned, show but little diff
ference, but the ready mixed fertilizer
cost $3.50 per acre, While the home
mixed application cost only S19.2S, or
$20.2s If 81 IS allowed for mixing.
Experiments were also made In grow
ing potatoes with and without barn
yard manure. In some cases the ma
nure was used alone nj the rate of tif-
teen cords per acre, and in some others
1t was applied with commercial fertili-
zers varying in quantity from $50 to
1000 pounds per acre. In every in
stance the use of barnyard manure, eli
Their alone or with commercial fertili-
zers, resulted in increased yields, the
average for all tests being about 112
bushels per acre.
Where over 100 pounds Of CONNER
cial fertilizers were used the difference
In yield was not so great and the quail
ity Of the crop not so good. The value
of the manure is twofold, in that it
acts fayorably upon the crop immedi-
ately following its application and also
improves the condition of the soil for
succeeding crops.

Morning by the Kcnnebec at

SkOwhegan.
| hear the rush OF the river
As IL sings on lis way to the sea,
And my heart leaps up to the Oliver
For the dawn of the day unto me.
From the far off lake by the mountain
Where Knto stands In his pride.
From many forest ted fountain,
Ii flows down to the sea and the tide.
The eer at its source are shaking
Their thirst In its water SO clear,
The trout from its surface are breaking
In ioy that knows nothing Of fear.
Adown many ledge it falleth,
And full many a rock runneth o'eri
As with ceaseless voice 1t calleth
To the trees that are guarding its shore.
Through many q gorge 1t rusheth,
Where 1t dsshes and splsshes In gleti
Then anon its voice 1t husheth
ks 1t broadens to blend with the sea.
More loudly It's song is out ringing
Where the rocks make more narrow IL
way,
Asthe heart that In ssdne So is singing
May best praise the great Oliver OF day.
Then attuned to the song OF the river,
As 1t singetb Its way to the sea,
Let your heart liff up to the Gtver
Who allotteth each day unto thee.
For the clouds will not lower forever,
And our sorrow will c. as some day,
When we gather at last by that River"
That foweth forever and aye.

When a woman suffers from female
weakness and irregularity or other forms
of womanly disease, the effect Is GER
tain to be marked in her nervous sys-
TEN, the general effect being, as IN Mrs.
Woodin's case, "nervous headaches, rest
lessness at night and rundown condi-
ton. 1t is simply common sense then
which says if you cure the female weak
ness, irregularity, etc, you Will cure the
nervousness, sleeplessness and other con-
sequences of womanly disease
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures
the womanly diseases which undermine
the general health. It establishes regu-
larity, dries enfeebling drains, heals in
han1mstion and liberation, and cures
female weakness. 1t cures headache,
nervousness, sieepiessness, etc, by cur
ing the womanly diseases which cause
these ailments.

Pierce, by letter, free. All correspond

Our hens are put into winter quar-
tiers with the first snowstorm, some
times sooner, If the weather is bad.
They are left there until spring. We
find that If we LET them out during the
winter after they have become accus-
toned to their winter quarters 1t upsets
them. They will stop laying, and it
takes some time for them to settle
down to business again. The morning
feed consists of mash, mixed very

 Cananea Herald. B. N. Norton of the Sonora Engineering and Assay Office, returned Wednesday evening from the Swansea mine where he was engaged for ten days, making surface and underground surveys. The Swansea is rapidly coming to the front and the indica- tions are 1t will soon be one of the leading mines of the state. At present about 1900 feet of drifts and tunnels have been run and development work is progressing rapidly.
 From Minas Prietas comes a story that Mir, Harold Jones, as- saver at Zubiate, whose narrow escape from the Yaquis was noted in THE OASIS two or three weeks ago, has since had another en- counter with the Indians, from which he came off not so lucky. He was captured on the road bet- ween Zubiate and Minas Prietas. The Yaquis stripped him, taking all of his clothing, and then whipp- cd him severely with switches. After that they turned him loose naked. He walked to Zubiate, sew eral miles, and at cabin outside of the camp he found \ pair of overaIls to cover his nakedness iii part, and arrayed in them made his way home to the camp.

Women on Boards of Education.

Inspector Charles Hughes of Toronto, one of the best known educators in America, in m address upon school Menaces" at Chaut. auqua, N. Y. made a strong plea for women on school boards, two or three women of leisure and culture who would be able to re- present the women of the city in the educational work. Woman hoodn he said, "has a right to direct representation at every step in the training of children. They have an instinctive idea of what is proper in education. It should be possible to find two or three such women in every city. School boards and schools are infinitely better with women on the board. 1t is harder to corrupt women than men. Instead of politics degrading women, women uplift politics"
 The late Governor Pattison of Pennsylvania, whose political lie challenged the respect of supporters and opponents of all parties, not long ago made this statement along the same line:
 II believe in the States where woman suffrage has already been tried it has been accompanied with success. In the city of Phil adelphia the election of women to the School Board, and their appointment to the Board of Con- trol. have been of great advantage. I am satisfied that in the educa- tional administration of the State their admission to the fullest power and authority will be accompanied with the greatest advantage to the Commonwealth.'
