Don't Buv Cheap Fertilizers.

High grade fertilizers are the cheap
est. The Connecticut station, summa-
rizing it's analyses last year, said:
Dollar for dollar, the buyer gets more
than twice as much plant food in spe-
cial which cost So to $40 per
ton than in those which he can buy for
s25. Goods which are cheap are made
cheap by taking out nitrogen and pot
ash and filling with phosphoric acid
The same truth is emphasized by other
experiment stations and state fertilizer
inspectors. In other words, when buy
ing from reputable concerns, you get
fist what you pay for, whether it's fer
t~ilizers or anything else.-Orange Judd

When President Roosevelt touched
the electric key at the white house in
Washington, which set in motion the
machinery of the worlds fair at St.
Louis, he not only opened to the
world the greatest display of the arts
of peace the world has ever known, but
he gave to the nation a fit climax of a
west of the Mississippi-the Louisiana
territory.
When, at the swing of a lever, 10000
gallons of water per minute was re-
leased to flow over the beautiful cas-
cades in front of Festival hall. there
was completed the most beautiful ex-
position picture the world has ever
seen. a picture that will live in the
mind of every visitor to the great fair.
Chicago had its Court of Honor, its
stately palaces set against a back
ground of the blue waters of Lake
Michigan; Buffalo had its wonderful
illumination, its dusk Of evening
Frightening into day again as the
countless thousands Of twinkling
lights brought back the effect Of the
rising sun, but these pictures. beautiful
as they were, have been surpassed by
the glory of the cascades, the foamins
waterway, rushing downward from the
~colonnades surrounding Festival hall,
to the great lagoons, with their myriad
colors, intersecting the wonderfully
beautiful grounds in all directions.

to leave their place Of keeping.
Besides a moaern coming press,
from which drops a bright medal at
every click, is a screw press built in
1895 and used at that time to stamp
small coins. There is also a hammer
ances formerly used in the Philadel'
phia mint. Comparing these with the
improvements made in the last loo
years reveals how much easier it is
now for Uncle Sam to r%eplenish his
treasury than it was when he was
young in the business.
All of the machines used in the
plant are driven by independent direct
current motors. the power for which
is transformed from $50 volts to 22O.
The gas for all heating operations,
such as annealing, melting, etc. is
manufactured by an Independent plant
situated outside the building, and so
arranged that it can be controlled in
the exhibit. These machines were de-
signed and built especially for this
purpose.
First of the series Of devices com
posing the plant is a furnace which
supplies a heat of 1000 degrees F. for
the melting of metal alloys. Here the
metal is cast into ingots and washed
in a dilute solution Of sulphuric acid
to free the surface from copper oxide.
The ingots are thun III through the
rolling mill and reduced in thickness
from one-half an inch to eighty-fivf
thousandths of an inch. This mill is
operated by a so horse power motor.
After rolling tie strips are heated
in the annealing furnace to soften
them for the cutter.

If soft wood must be used it is we'll to
line the covers and doors with tin,
which needs only to be tackled on. The
doors must slide very easily or they
will swell up in wet weather and rem

for the doors are bolt nuts (about one
half inch bolts) and must be heavy
enough that no mouse can lift them.
But the main thing with catching
mice is the bait. We use either corn

cheese, according to where we wish to
set the trap. We use corn in the
smokehouse or cellar, and bacon rind in
the oorncrib. The trap has been in use
since November 1, 1903, and was baited

The Farmers Rubber Boots.

To dry out a pair of rubber boots is
an all absorbing theme with those who
wear them. Dry oats placed in them in
the evening and left in over night, will
absorb most of the moisture. Another
method j. found in making a paper
tube, like a funnel, that will reach the
toe of the boot; invert it and place it
over q lighted lamp, making all secure.
The heat will circulate through the
tube to the extreme part of the boot
and will dry it out nicely.-Midland

Importance of Potatoes.

An acre planted to potatoes will
yield more than ten times as much food
material as when planted to wheat;
IA times more than rye or IL times
more than peas. The value of this
crop appears to be very largely disre-
garded by farmers in this country. In
Germany the yield per acre is two OF
three times as great and the total prod.
uct six times as great. Besides con
Stunning much more per capita than w
do, the Germans use them for sucf
manufactured products as starch, glu
cose and alcohol. The real resources
of the potato should be more fully ex
plotted in this country.
