Use Wood Ashes Probably.

While there Is no reason why wood
ashes cannot be used on many of the
farm crops raised provided they are
carefully used. the best results come
from their use on hay lands. Here they
may be freely used and will invariably
give good results. The writer has used
them to advantage In potato growing
and in corn. on rather sandy soil we'll
filed with humus or vegetable matter;
but dissolved South Carolina rock was
always used to mix with the ashes,
and the combination was used as a
dressing. not dropping out the usual
fertilizers applied during the prepare.
ton Of the seed bed.
In using wood ashes OH meadows,
one must be sure that they are dry, un-
leached ashes. or their potash content
their main value. will be small, hence
the application will fail to produce
satisfactory results. and the expense
will be heavy. 1t is good plan to
submit samples Of wood ashes to the
experiment station Of your State for
examination before going into them

FORTS SILENCEU.
Correspondent Takes Observations
at Port Arthur.

London. March IA dispatch
from Chefoo to the Daily Mail states
that their correspondent succeeded in
approaching in a tugboat to within
two miles of the entrance to Port Ar
thur harbOr Oh Friday, and again on
Saturday,, without any notice being
taken of the craft by the Russians.
The correspondent states that the fort
on the western side of the mountain,
three-quarters of a mile from the har-
Dor mouth, seemed to be completely
dismantled as RESULT of the Japanese
shell fire. The same is true of the forts
along the Tigers Tail peninsula.
On the east of the harbor entrance
there were visible the masts of a sunk
Ell ship. while the harbor contained
many destroyers apparently in dam
aged condition. The correspondent
reports encountering the British collier
Foxton Hall, which was in the harbOr
during the bombardment. The crew
confirmed the report from japanese
sources that the squadron on March 10
silenced all of the Russian forts.
The crew declared that the Russian
loss on this occasion was thirty-eight
killed and more than 100 wounded.

Butt the most disheartening and
startling of all is the lawless spirit in
towns and cities, where have grown

Left. Handed Penmen Are Not Wanted
In business Houses.
Few business men will employ left
handed person as clerk or bOOkkeep-
or and the prejudice against them ex-
tends to the government depa rtments
at Washington. The chiefs of those
departments are entirely willing 10
overlook bad penmanship on the part
Of a really good and industrious clerk
but 1t is the man or woman who writes
with the left hand at which the balk
Is made. The dead line is draw Just
the moment ii Is ascertained that a
clerk is left nded and he Is forthwith
informed that If ii is his desire to con-

necessary for him to write with his
right hand This information IL always

erS but there IL nothing to he done but
begin to write with the right hand or
throw up the job" and few are anx-
ions to quit government service even
for this cause. No matter how perfect
hand the left -ha nded clerk may write
there Is no alternative but to learn to
write with the right hand. and some
times II takes months to get to the
point where even a lcgible hand is
written by the clerk who is forced to
learn the business over" But during
this period of making the change the
chiefs are easy and patient and make
the work rs light rs possible on the
unfortunate clerk.
One OF the hest men in the Depart.

his career in the Bureau of Statistics.

Cutting Corn Fodder Feed.

The writer recently called on a Ger
man farmer who was making his way
in the world, but with little capital to
work with. He had read much Of the
advantages of shredded corn stover
and of feeding stock rOughage run
through a cutter il one could not have
the use of the shredder. Both ma
chimes were beyond his means, but he
was determined to test for himself the
value Of the cut fodder. He had evil
IDENTITY proved its value to his satisfac-
ton, for he said that the present was
the third winter he had cut the fOd-
der for his three cows each day with
a Ratchet.
1t was an enormous task but as he
had the time to spare and had proved
it profitable he continued it. With a
smile Of satisfaction he said that he
had made enough money from the ex-
ira milk to pay for a good cutter.
which he would have another season.
The chances are this man will earn a
shredder this time. Many dairymen
and farmers with but few cows de-
cline to do such work or to use n cut
ting machine, saying that it does not
pay when the dairy is small. This is
just where many of us make mistakes.
for II we would look out for the small
profits the larger ones would come by
accumulation and later there would
be room for the shredder.

Radishes can be grown. like lettuce,
continuously from autumn until spring
in either hOthOuses or hOtbeds. The
radish is the easiest of all vegeta-

and quick maturity permit planting
them In connection with other crops in
alternate rows five or six inches apart
or in rows about the same distance
apart all to radshes. AS a rule. the
radish crop is not profitable to grow
