Unacidulated Phosphates.

Acidulated phosphate fertilizers are
those to which sulphuric acid has
been added to make the phosphates
more readily available. The base to
which the acid is added is always
bone or phosphate rock. An agent
OF one of the Chicago packers tells us
that 80 per cent of all the bone phos-
pilates sold is calculated. This is be-
cause the users want fertilizer
whose phosphorus is available at
once. Yet the producers of phosphate
manures prefer to sell the unacidu-
lated bone and can sell it cheaper
than the bone that has been treated
with acid. Our leading professors in
agricultural chemistry are advising
farmers to buy their phosphates in
an unacidulated state, whether the
base be bone or rock. Such phos-
phate is in it's cheapest form. AS
soon as the manufacturers of fertil-
izers begin to treat the bone meal or
the round rock they begin to add to
it's cost. There is not only the cost Of
the acid, blu also cost of the labor
Moreover the acid is not a desirable
element to add to our land, much of
which already has too much acid
The farmer would do better to apply
his phosphate to the land before the
need for it becomes great. II applied
then it need not be accidulated, but
the ground bone or ground phosphate
rock can be left with nature, for her
deliberate process of rendering it
available. II land needs phosphates
at once, the calculated material must
be used. If the land becomes too
acid, that condition may be changed
by the adding Of lime, either in the
form of quicklime, or, what is more
desirable, ground lime rock.

New Forage Plant, Berseem.
Recently while at Washington and
in conversation with D. G. Fairchild,
OF the Department of Agriculture. TIC
question was asked by the writer II
there was any new forage plant re-
Gently introduced mat gave promise
OF being of exceptional value to Amerl'
can farmers. Mr.. Fairchild, who has
Travelled extensively in foreign LANDS,
seeking new plants that would be OF
benefit to our agriculturists, replied
that, in his judgment, the forage plant
named Berseem was destined to play
a great part in the coming agricul'
tural history of our country. Ber-
seem is, in a word, the great forage
and soiling plant of the Nile valley.
Egyptian agriculture is now most
prominent on account Of its cotton,
which has obtained a world wide
celebrity. But the foundation OF that
agriculture does not rest upon cotton
but upon the leguminous plant ber-
seem. In Egypt, as elsewhere, 1t Is
the legume that upholds the fertility
of the land, for the ov rflow Of the
Nile is by no means the only element
in the retention of the fertility OF the
country.
Berseem is also called Alexandrian
clover and Egyptian clover. 1t is
closely related to our ordinary red
clover and is known Dotanically as
Trifoli,,n A1oyondriuum IT jS he
lieved, however, that the plant did not
originate at Alexandria but that it
came from some other Mediterranean
region and was introduced into Egypt
in comparatively recent times. Mr..
Fairchild says that it is plant OF
very great importance now in all
parts of Egypt. 1t is the first crop
planted after retaining the salt
lands; it furnishes the green fodder
for all the work animals in the big
towns: all the beef and mich cattle

Craze upUn IL; inc UdmeiS are leo upon
it.; and the well-kept donkeys get
their portion of it. Every coachman
carries a bag of it for his horse, and
every drayman has a bundle of it on
top of his load for the feeding of his
donkeys or bullocks. 1t is brought
into the cities green and is sold in
large quantities in the market place.
The Egyptians have found out the
value of clover and are building up
an agricultural prosperity upon it. Ten
years ago about a million acres of 1t
were planted in that country and the
area is increasing. In America clover
is one of number of fodder crops;
in Egypt it is THE fodder crop. The
Egyptians also keep up the supply of
nitrogen in their soil largely by the
use of this legume. 1t is also a great
weed destroyer, on account of its Wig
orous and rank growth.
But what IS IT'S value to our coun-
try? Chiefly as a plant to grow in
irrigated regions where the winters
are not enough severe to kill it out.
Under such conditions it starts into
growth with remarkable rapidity, out
grows most kinds of weeds and yields
one of the most palatable and nutri-
tious folders known. When young it
bears a strong resemblance to alfalfa,
but does not have the same kind of
flowers. It's hollow stems are very
succulent. Its root system is small
but well supplied with tubercles. 1t
is found advisable to use it as win
ter crop, planting it in the fall and
cutting it in the spring. The United
States government has imported q
good deal of the seed and is trying
it experinentally in the Southern
states and in California. 1t is looked
upon as a probably valuable soiling
and cover crop for orchards in Texas
and Arizona. For forage in the north.
west it is advised to plant it in the
spring after the danger of frost is
past and harvest it in the fall, as it
is an annual of about ten months
from seed to maturity. AS yet it is
in the experimental stage, but great
things are hoped from it.-Farmers

A LONG SEARCH
Two Brothers Reunited-Had not
Met for AZ Years.

On farm four miles from Sank
Centre there was an affecting meeting
of two long separated brothers one
day last week. That the ties of human
affection often grow stronger by separa-
ton, though nearly half a century
may intervene, was evidenced by the
passion of Hubert Knott to find his
brother, John Knott. When told that
in all human probability his brother
was living near Sank Centre, Hubert
Knott at st. Cloud took a late train
for Sank Centre. Reports from Sank
Centre told of the touching meeting
of the brothers.
Hubert Knott is a resident of st.
Joseph, Kossuth county, Iowa. He
has married daughter residing at
Watkins, Stearns county, and he
came to St. Cloud in company with
his daughter and her husband to try
to learn something regarding the
whereabouts of his brother.
Forty-two years ago the brothers,
then mere boys, enlisted in the SER
vice of their country. 1t was near the
close of the war that the Knott "boys"
left their home in Iowa and went to
the front. When they were mustered
out few months later they became
separated. Hubert located on a farm
in Iowa and John, year younger,
went west. From that day they had
never seen or heard of each other, but
recently the Iowa Knott heard in
that his brother was on farm
near Sank Centre. He came on
visit to his daughter, and together they
came to st. Cloud to further prosecute
the search. One evening at DeLeo's
Fifth avenue hotel they met former
Sank Centre resident who knew John
Knott we'll and from the conversation
the elder brother was so confident that
he took the night train, along with
his daughter, for Sank Centre. There
the reunion occurred.

so far as the Great Northern is
concerned the matter of whether the
state railroad commission is vested
with authority to make and enforce
a joint railroad rate over two lines in
the state has not been put up to us
for a decision" said L. C. Gilman
general western counsel of that road.
this morning to a reporter for the
Seattle News.
1T may have been discussed in
formally but the matter has not been
referred to the legal department for
a formal opinion. AS we are not in
volved in the controversy we do not
need to concern ourselves regarding
it except in general way.
IF a legal contest between the COM
mission and the o. r. & N. arises they
may confer with us regarding the mat
ter, but it will be their fight and not
ours"
The controversy in question is one
which has arisen between the COM
mission and the o. r. G. n. road over
a proposal on the part of the COM
mission to establish a joint rate on
coal from Roslyn on the Northern Pa
cific in Kittitas county to Colfax and
other points on the o. r. & N. in
Whitman county.
Prior to January l, 1902, there was
such a rate in effect, but the o. r.
& n. withdrew it in order to secure
control of the market for coal from
Rock Springs, Wyo., on the line Of
that railroad AS a result Roslyn coal
is shut out of the Colfax market to
the detriment of consumers there.
Complaint regarding the matter
was lodged with the commission on
the occasion of its visit to Colfax and
the commission took the matter up
with the traffic officials of the roads
at Spokane. Traffic Manager Stubbs,
of the O. r. & N, announced to the
that his road would not
conform to a ruling by the
commission restoring the old joint
rate, and the commission has an
nounced that it will go into the courts
to enforce such rate if necessary. The
indications point strongly to a long
drawn out legal battle involving the
of the entire commission law
and the joint rate section in partic-
uiar.
The commission has instructed AS

TWO INSANITY CASES.
One Sent TO Walla Walla, the Other
to the County Poor Farm.

Quite an extensive session of court
was held yesterday afternoon by Coun-
ty Judge Bean, assisted by County
Physician Cole.
The first case to appear before the
tribunal was that of the man McGiv-
cry, who was brought here from Wes-
ton few evenings ago. After a care
full consideration of his case, it was
concluded that the man was not dan
gerous, and that If so the state of
Washington should be required to
take care of him. Consequently, he
was given a ticket to that place and
returned to the Garden City last night.
The other victim to appear was
gentleman who had just been liberated
from the city jail. and who, having
been keeping company with Engold

to imagine that he had also been so
maltreated However, DR.. Cole pro-
nounced the man all right except that
he did not believe Marshal Coffman's

for his health. Consequently, the man
was ordered to the poor farm until he
could get on the outside of several
square meals, when it is believed he
will be himself once more.

IDAHO CONVICT ESCAPES.
Makes a Daring and Successful Run
for Liberty.

Boise, Aug. 1S.-Joseph Lawrence,
who had been a prisoner at the state
penitentiary since July IL of this
year, has been at liberty since about
1880 o'clock yesterday morning, with
posse of about 20 men and couple
of trailing hounds in pursuit but up
to a late hour last night he had not
been overtaken,
Lawrence was one of a convict crew
engaged on some ditch work on the
grounds yesterday morning, under the
supervision of Guard Perkins. About
1890 o'clock Guard Perkins turned
and left the men for a moment or two
to go a distance of perhaps 20 feet
to get drink of water, This appar-
emily was the chance that Lawrence
had been looking for. He jumped in
to the ditch, ran short distance
and vaulted over a wall into another
and deeper ditch, ran on his hands
and knees for a distance of 100 feet
or more in this ditch, which passes
through the prison orchard, and
within two minutes of the time when
the guard turned his back upon him
was out of sight
An alarm was given as soon as the
guard discovered that Lawrence was
missing, and hot pursuit of the fu-
gitive followed. Within 200 feet of
the place where Lawrence left the
crew his striped shirt was found
and little farther on his convict
trousers were picked up. This gave
evidence of the fact that the escape
had been planned, and there appears
to be good ground for the belief that
Lawrence was assisted from the out
side in making good his escape.
Somebody must have furnished a ci-
william garb for him and left it at the
place where Lawrence could don it
with the least possible difficulty and
delay
Lawrence is about % years of age,
but appears to be considerably older,
and from the scars upon his face and
body it is believed that his past has
been a rather checkered one. At the
penitentiary he was not considered
good prisoner He was sent up from
Washington county for term of two
years for burglary.
