Facilities For Holding the Milk ON

Generally speaking, there is almost
an entire lack Of facilities for holding

POTATO EXPERIENCE.
The Most Useful Fertilizer Combinu-
ton and How to Apply IT.

BY EDWARD B. VOORHEES,, New Jer-
sey Experiment Station.
In the growing of early potatoes it is
essential that an abundant supply of
nitrogen be at the disposal of the plant.
The experience of growers has clearly
demonstrated this fact, and until COM
mercial fertilizers came into general
use most growers used large quaint
ties of yard manure in order that the
plant should suffer no lack of this ele-
ment With the introduction of COM
mercial fertilizers the question of
greatest Importance has been the
source Of nitrogen best suited to meet
the demands Of the special early
growth. The experiments which have
been conducted with view to answer
ing this question have shown clearly
that, while nitrate is most useful, a
combination of the nitrate with quick
~ available organic forms, as dried
blood, or with both organic and am
monia forms is preferable 70 the use
of any single form.
On good potato soils, therefore, a
good fertilization should consist of
from 800 to 1000 pounds Of fertilizer
containing nitrogen 4 per cent, availa-
BILE phosphoric acid s per cent and
potash 10 per cent, one-third Of the
nitrogen at least to be derived from
nitrate Of soda and the remainder from
quickly available organic forms. On
soils in good condition the fertilizer
may be applied in the row at the time
of planting, though many prefer to
apply one-half of the desired amount
broadcast previously and the remain
der in the row with the seed.

Indians With Jewish Blood.

Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an idea
that the Indians of the far northwest
were partly Jewish In origin. From
Lake Athabasca in 1874 he set out at
the head of an expedition ''in birch
bark canoe twenty-five feet long, four
and three-Quarters feet beam and
twenty-six inches hold, with 5000
pounds of baggage and provisions and
a crew of nine French Canadians. He
reached the Pacific coast and returned.
The aborigines he met were 'for the
most part possessed of strongly reli-
gious Instincts said he in his report.
with regard to their origin, all we are
prepared to state after a careful sur
vey of their languages, manners and
customs is that they are undoubtedly
of mixed origin; come from the north
northwest and had commerce in their
early history perhaps through inter-
marriage with people Of Jewish per-
suasion or origin

Fall Seeding of Grass.

In some parts of New England fields
are frequently seeded to grass in the
fall. This is done without any crop
and in some cases is found to be more
successful than spring seeding along
with a crop of grain. This work
should be done in August or early in
September on ground well prepared
that is, made of fine filth, smooth and
well fortified. Where this system
works we'll there should be good sue
cess with the crops of hay to follow,
as they will have the entire benefit of
the fertilizers applied, remarks Ameri-

CURED or HIS CLUB.

The Way One Woman Kept Her Hus-
band Home In the Evenings.
II would be very happy if my hus-
band would not spend so many of his
evenings at the club" said Mrs Bride,
with q sigh.
"Why don't you try the suspicion
cure?" said her intimate friend.
"What is the suspicion cure?" asked
Mrs. Bride.
"Well, my husband once got into the
habit of spending his evenings at his
club, and I worried myself ILL., Then
changed my tactics. Instead of asking
him to remain at home I urged him to
go to the club. The way he raised his
eyebrows the first time l suggested it

evening at his club would make him

Bronze Grass,

Bronze grass is a valuable variety
and has been tested over wide area
in the United States, but it finds it's
best development in the region from
Kansas northward in the great plains
and west into Montana and eastern
Washington. 1t gives fair results east
of this region, but in the eastern states
is unable to compete with timothy and
blue grass. In the southern states it
has not given satisfactory results.
1t is stated by A. S. Hitchcock,
agrostologist, that if the soil is in prop
er condition bronze grass may be sown
in Nebraska any time from April to
the list of October.

RUSSIA BOWS TO ENGLAND
Promises to Give Up Malacoa and
TO Quit Seizures.
The British steamer to Be Handed { yer
to Her Owners at suda Bay, Island OF
Crete, After Perfunctory Search.

ST. Petersburg, Russia. In response
to the energetic protest made by the
British Government against the seizure
of the Peninsular and Oriental mail
steamer, the Malacca, by a Russian
volunteer fleet ship which passed
through the Dardanelles, the Russian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs handed to
British Ambassador Hardinge a note
in which Russia promises that the
Malacca shall not be brought before a
prize court, and undertakes that the
incident shall not be repeated.
AS formality the Malacca's cargo
will be examined at Suda Bay, Island
Of Crete, in the presence Of the British
and Russian Consuls, the Russian Gov
eminent having ordered her to stop
at Suda Bay for that purpose.
The report of the captain of the st.
Petersburg, which has just reached the
Admiralty, gives as his reason for the
seizure the fact that the British mas
ter Of the Malacca declined to produce
the manifest of his cargo, as required
by international law, when stopped by
a belligerent in time of war.
The Russian authorities, after receiv.
ing the report, tried to stop the Nal
acca at Port Said, but she had already
sailed. Both countries in the final
agreement displayed concilatory
spirit.
In usually well informed quarters
the belief is expressed that the recall
of the Russian volunteer feet steam.

Chicago, Ill = The packing house
strike was ordered renewed in Chicago
and all other cities. Violation Of
agreement by the packing house pro-
prietors is assigned as the reason.
The following dispatch was sent by
President Donnelly to the employees Of
various packing houses in the differ
ent cities affected BY the previous
strike:
.Order out all the departments
again! Companies violated agree
ment. MICHAEL DONNELLY.
President International Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen.'
The summary action of the strike
leaders in ordering a renewal Of hos
tilities was followed by equally vigor-
Gus efforts at restoration of peace.
As result, the news of the strike or
der was followed within n hour by
an announcement that joint confer
sence at the offices of Armour & Co.
had been arranged to take place be-
tween the packing house proprietOrs
and the labor leaders, The purpose of
the joint conference was stated to be
to discuss the alleged unjust discrim-
nation on the part of the packers.
While the immediate provocation for
the renewal of the strike was appar-
entity the failure of the packers to take
back larger proportion of the strik-
ers who reported for work the real
cause Of the rupture was inferred to
be circular issued by the packers
The circular purported to explain to
the public the agreement entered into
with the labor leaders. Seemingly the
circular could be taken as implying
that that agreement did not bind the
packers to re-employ all of the men
who walked out The construction the
labor leaders had placed upon the
agreement was that all should be re-
employed within forty-five days.
The portion of the packers circular
objectionable to the unionists follows:
I'm the agreement reached the pack
ers reserve the privilege of retaining
in their employ all employees that
have been hired while the strike has
lasted, thus guaranteeing to these men
the fair treatment they deserve and
gaining fol-. the packers one of the
most important point for which they
contended and for which they stood
out so long. The privilege Of arbitra-
ton within the time ! NIT of forty-five
days covers the question Of 'discrimin-
alton only, and is in no way intended
to guarantee to the striking employees
that they will be taken back and given
the places now filled by non-union
help"
According to estimates $3.50 men
We're directly affected by the clash.
