stood the cold weather satisfactorily so
far, says the Kansas City Star. In a
few places the residuum oil did not
penetrate the required six inches, and
these places will need further working.
The work was done last September and
required 4,400 gallons of oil, at Ia
cents gallon at the wells. The freight
was about the same, making the total

In Morrow county, O., we are very

Outside of the Incorporated villages
there are perhaps ten or twelve miles

equivalent to mortar beds. However,

have made mistake in trying to OBJ

fine and if the mixture is boiled long
enough to combine with the lime.
Then there is another material that Is
sold as ground sulphur which Is really
the crude sulphur ground up, with all
its impurities. That, OF course, Is sold
rather more cheaply than the other ma
terial, but 1t contains considerable
percentage OF lime, but is not the kind
of material that has been recommend
ed in making up these lime and sui
phur washes
Mr.. Collins SAID tl..t * gr we're

rule for finding whether sulphur Is
pure or not is worth knowing.

How the NimbIe post Dollar" Has
Increased the Towns Business.
A scheme by which business in a
town can be Increased and the com

Leavenworth, Kan, town twenty FIVE
miles from Kansas City, with which 1t
is connected by trolley line The
merchants of Leavenworth are con
stantly complaining that people spend
their money out of town. Several
months ago the Leavenworth Post
started campaign in advocacy of
home trade which is bringing results
highly satisfactory to the paper and
business men.
This campaign has been conducted
along unusual lines, the Post using its
advertising instead of its editorial col
umns to convince people that they
ought to spend their money at home
where they earn It, The following, dis

eight inches, is sample of the adyer-
