tractor and builder of the city is
seeking the place to be made vacant
by the leaving OF City Engineer
Baughman, who is to go to Texas, to
remain perhaps indefinitely. In let
ter of application presented to the
council Monday night he gave the
reasons why he thought he was able
and qualified to do the work. Mr..
Weatherby's application was placed on
file
1t is the idea Of some of the coun-
cilmen not to be in any hurry about
the appointment of an engineer to
take Mr.. Baughman's place until the
right man is found. There is just now
no pressing need for an engineer as all
the grade stakes are set for the ex
tensive water main and sewer extern
sions, which are being made, and for
time the work in the engineering
department will be necessarily light.

Oil is more powerful in the senate of
the United States than the farmers of
the United States.
We do not believe that it will al
ways be so. We do not believe that
it will be long so. Farmers are be-
coming very Independent voters.
Farmers should work with might and
main for the direct election of United
States senators. They should also
require a written pledge from every
candidate for the state legislature
that he will not vote to make United
States senator any man that is ideTl-
titled with corporations in any way.
And unless a candidate for the legfs-
lature is of proved honesty and fidelity
and man of character and principle
and has signed such a pledge, farmers
should not vote for him.

Ashes as Fertilizers.

The following is from the Farmers
Review:
Ashes have considerable value as
fertilizers. but they differ very greatly
the value depending upon the kind of
wood from which they come; says the
Farmers Review. Soft wood produces
an ash that is small in quantity and
deficient in fertlizing ingredients.
The fiber of wood is made UP largely
from carbon which is taken from car
bOnic acid gas by the leaves of the

there is larger amount Of what we
call mineral matter than is the case
with soft wood trees. This mineral
matter is made up largely of potash,
phOsphOric acid and lime. These con-
Stitute the principal value of the ash
of trees. When man applies ash to
his ground he figures generally that
the benefit comes from the potash in
the ashes. This is not always the case,
however. as the lime may be the ele-
Sometimes the land is deficient in pot
ash, and then it is the potash in ash
that really does the work. In New
England it has been the custom for
generations for the householder to
burn the brush pile over the spot
where he expected to plant cucumberS.
The ashes were then spaded in and it
was the experience of the planters that
they always got good crops of cucum-
bers when so planted 1t is probable
in that case that it was the potash
that did the work. But when ashes
are applied to other soils that have
enough potash in them and yet are
sour it is the lime i'm the ashes that
generally is the source of benefit
This lime neutralizes this acid in the

from the air. There is an almost uni

no value from Il fertilizer standpoint.
But this is a mistake 1t is true that
coal ashes do not contain large quanti-
ties of potash. phosphate acid or nitro
gen. But if is also true that they con-
tain the same amounts of those ele-
ments as were in the trees from which
the coal was made In the carboni-
ferrous age the air was so full of car

Diving For SponEes.

The practicabllity of the method now
 being employed extensively in the sponge industry in procuring this prod uct is no longer in doubt, and a large percentage of the Tarpon Springs Fla.) vessels are changing from the old method of hooking to the new one of diving, and in order to successfully accomplish desired results with the diving method it was thought neces- sary to employ Greeks, who are ac- custOmed to the work, as it seemed doubtful whether many of those who have followed the hooking process would care to don the helmet aud lead on shoes and pull sponge with from thirty to sixty feet of water overhead, says the Tarpon Springs News. But recent experiments by few have dem- onstrated that little practice and confidence. together with a good phys lcal condition, are all that is needed to become diver. Already number of our native spongers have become pro- fcient in this line, and the probabilities are that in the near future large per centage of the catch will be obtained In this manner.
