LOSS FROM USING UNBALANCED
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZERS.
.s..s..s..s.
BY Bryan Tyson.
CONTINUED from last week. :.

\ II
The six Southern States east of
the Mississippi River, commencing
with Alabama, use annually about
100000 tons of commercial fer
tilizers, which at $50 per ton
amounts TO $3o,000,000.
| consider it safe to say that, for
lack of balancing properly, there
is frequently loss of at least half
half of the money invested as
aforesaid.
III order to enable farmers, o
the greatest extent possible, to o
their own mixing, | give below the
names and quantities of the mate
rials necessary to fertilize an acre,
which should aggregate 500 to
1000 pounds Mix the materials
we'll aud apply in drills, prefera-
bly, a few weeks before seeding,
and mix with the soil. Proper
tests have shown an advantage n
drill application over broadcasting
of about so per cent.
For nitrogen use-Nitrate of
s)d#~60 to 100 pounds, or sulphate
of ammonia 50 to 100 pounds, Or
dried blood 100 to 200 pounds.
For potash use Muriate of pot
ash, 70 10 40 pounds, or sulphafe
of potash, 70 to 140 pounds, or
kainil, 900 to $50 pounds.
For phosphoric acid use-Acid
phosphate 26o to $40 pounds, or
dissolved bone 2l5 to 400 pounds,
or bone meal 300 to 600 pounds.
The above formula is for corn
alone. Other crops, as a general
thing, require special balance TO
suit the requirements OF each.
The three elements of plant
food. nitrogen, potash. and phos
phoric arid, from whatever source
derived, are each substantially the
same. Nitrogen usually costs
about Is cents per pound, which
is about three times the cost Of

In landing this blow told you to send the arm out in a straight line. do not mean that you should straighten the arm entirely. Have the elbow bent a little, as this prevents a strain at this point. If the arm be strengthened out there may be a snap at the elbow, and an injury there IS almost impossible to cure.
 Always be careful not to injure your arms or hands when striking. It some times happens that blow does more harm to the boxer who delivers it than to the one who receives it.
 A straight right lead is like one with the left hand, only, of course, the right Is used. sIn this lead the right leg IS brought little forward. adding it's swing to the force of the blow. This stroke is not so often used as the left lead. The reason for this is that the right glove Is so much further away from its intended mark. Then. again. the right arm is used more for guard and for heavy swing ing. Now we come to the swing.

 Take Right and put it against Might" and in nine instances out of ten Right" will score the victory. So be sure you are right before you go ahead
 Another element that contributes large ly to the success of a boxer is self-confi- dence. If a man is not self-conadent he canot hope to win battles. I have noticed in my experience in the ring how often a boxer will be defeated simply owing to lack of seIf-confidence. Men whom I have met and defeated in a round or two have gone out a few weeks or months later and put up wonderful fights.
 These men have taken blows and re ceived punishment which never dreamed of infiicting upon them, and come out of thoss battles victorious. In their contests with me they simply lacked confidence. had gained a reputation as a hard-hittsr and winner of battles and it was there fore lack of moral self-reliance that de- feated these men as soon as l landed a few blows The blows I gave them had neither the speed nor the force of those which the same men took unf1inching;y from men of no reputation. Therefore, oo not forget that you must be morally courageous before you can hope to win battles in the struggle for life. There is no better moral in the world to follow than this. Be sure you are right, thon go ahead

cold. The winters about 1856 and 1889 were conspicuously cold. and we might perhaps anticipate a recurrence of such cold win- ters in the early twenties. It is remark able that thirty-hve years is about three times the sun spot cycle of III years. The great Bacon mentions what is now known as Bruckner's cycle The passage occurs in his essay on the '"vicissitudes of Things" and is valuable testimony to the continuance of the cycle. He remarks that in the low countries the same kind of weather comes again every thirty-ave years. and he speaks of having observed the cycle himself a number of times. The essays were published over 300 years ago. and his own observation seems to cover another century, so that the cycle has been in operation for at least four cen- turies.

forget that your opponent may strike you at the same time. Therefore, you must learn how to prevent him. I will tell you how to do this in future lesson.
 Will Confuse a Boxer.
 The straight lead has many uses. It will confuse a boxer so that he cannot tell what to do. A good time to send in this blow is when your opponent starts swing at you.
 A straight lead in the face will stop many hard swing before 1t can land. It will also go through an open guard when a swing would be warded off.
 The best time to send in a straight blow Is when your opponent is coming toward you. This lends added force to the stroke Besides, it may stop the others rush.

 You have not forgotten that tthe feet must be held apart. with the left leg De- fhra the right and the left knee bent a Yitfle. Also, that the weight of the body rests on the right leg. You remember what I told you about keeping the mus cles free and easy. and not held stinly. Ali this is important in striking a blow. It is not only the hand and arm that are used in striking; the legs, body and Shoulders also come into play.

 The left swing is made with the let hand in the same manner as the right swing. only the position of the legs is not changed. It does not have as much fo.ce as the right swing, because 1t does not get like shift of the body with 1t. But landing stiffen the arm and push the shoulder forward. turning the body at the hips The force of the blow should not be ended the moment 1t lands.
