FERTILIZER TALK.
Fret Understand Requirements Of
Your Crops.

First Understand Requirements Of
Your Crops. =
OF course we must use fertilizers to
a certain extent, but the ignorant use
of fertilizers has been the ruin Of many
The most expensive fertilizer that is
used to any extent IS nitrate Of soda.
states writer in Country Gentleman.
The point / wish to emphasize is-don't
use fertilizers indiscrimlnately. A short
time ago farmer wanted to put some
fertilizer on his orchard. Instead of
studying the matter up and understand
ing the needs of his trees he bought a
high grade fertilizer, in which the prin-
cipal ingredient was nitrate of soda.
Now. while nitrate of soda no doubt is
excellent for many crops, in his case he
could have plowed under crop of clo-
yer and purchased potash and phos-
phoric acid in some form for consid-
erably lower cost.
Again, a farmer will buy an all
round fertilizer because it is cheap.
Another will buy high grade mixed
fertilizer and pay big price for it be-
cause he doesn't believe in these cheap
fertilizers" Don't forget that the clio
vers, peas and other legumes will sup
ply not only all the nitrogen necessary
for your crops. but also hunus. Many
a wise farmer supplies all the fertility
for his crops by using barnyard ma
nure and blowing under legumes-clo-
vers, cowpeas, ETC. Think these things
over before you buy your fertilizers this
year. The point am trying to call at
tention to Is the foolishness Of buying
fertilizer without understanding the
needs. of your crops.
Buy good book on fertilizers and
study up the subject and know what
YOU are doing.

From CITY TO Country.

In the north Atlantic states and In
less degree in other groups there has
been some back pressure upon the land
from the cities, and in this reversion OF
the tide of population from country to
city the old farm lands have not been
lost to agriculture, although in SO far
as they have become the diversion of
wealthy men they may have become
improbable. In some regions the old
abandoned farms are becoming the
country homes Of city families and are
passing back into some sort OF cult
walton and production.-G. X. Holmes.

Winter Irritation,

There are hundreds of water courses
which are dry nearly all the year, but
which carry large quantities Of water
in spring and after heavy rains. If
this water should be diverted and al
serve the same purpose as summer fall
lowing, with the added advantage of
the production of a crop every year.
This kind Of irrigation is commonly
designated as winter irrigation be.

Increased Value Of Manure.

The greatest value obtained from a
manure spreader. of course, is in the
increased value Of the manure. 1t has
often been said that load Of manure
spread with Il spreader is equal to
three spread by hand. 1t is more than
probable that this statement In true.
In fact, 1t Is hard to overestimate the
increased value Of the manure when
spread with machine over that
spread by hand. The increase Is Ger
tainly sufficient to justify every farm
er In getting spreader.-N. B. Charles

Fertilizer For Peas,

Peas need potash and phosphoric acid.
These elements are essential to best
results with the pea, but in some in
stances nitrogen must be applied to
start the crop in good shape. Farm
gard manure is very suitable when it
can be obtained. On many soils land
rlaster will very much stimulate the
krowth of peas. 1t is possible to en-
rich the ground too much to get a
gvod crop Of peas, as when there is
n rank growth the vines fall down be-
fare the bloom or head appears.-New

HORNETS OUTPLAY
INDEPENDENTS
AT FOOTBALL

OAKLAND, Feb. 3.-In what was re-
garded as the deciding game of the
seasons association football schedule,
played at Freemans Park today, the
brilliant individual work of the Oak
land Hornets overcame what was pos
sible in the way of team work by the
Independents and resulted in score
Of 4 to in favor of the Hor-
nets. A more hotly contested game
has seldom been seen on those grounds.
In the opinion of experts, had it been
played on a dry, fast field the teams
probably would have set a standard for
the entire coast. In spite of the ten
sion under which the players worked in
their anxiety to win, there were only a
few isolated bits of dirty football.
Referee F'ewster kept order and was
not compelled to rule any one off the
field.
Rain began when the first half lacked
but ten minutes of being ended, and a
steady drizzle continued during the rest
of the time. Under the showers the
eastern half of the field approached
the condition of the lower half and
falls and slides were frequent.
The first score for the Hornets was
won when Scott drove an allowed corner
kick close in front of the goal and the
ball striking an Indie" player on the
race, bounced into the net.
Another added a few minutes later,
provoked much argument Mckenzie
appeared to be offside when within two
feet of the goal he toed the ball
through for the second score. The
question was raised whether he had
kicked it before or after the whistle
for an offside play. Fewster decided it
was done before and the score was al
lowed to stand
The second half was begun with the
fiercest rallies of the day In front of
the Independent goal and all the work
at this time was of a star order. Coal
keeper Pegg of the Indies made a rush
from his position, and colliding with
Scott. disabled the smaller chap for
several minutes. Elliott reproached
Pegg for his roughness, drawing some
hot retorts.
While Pegg was attending to Elliott,
Mckenzie made the most sensa tiona1
shot of the day for another point. A
penalty kick allowed the Independents
for handling of the ball gave the losers
their only point. Shortly before the
final whistle Elliott scored for the Hor-
nets with a beautiful shot.
Preceding the big game an appetizer
was served the faithful by the Scotias
and the Hornets second team. The
Scotias won by to 2 in a loosely
played game
The Hornets and Independents lined
up as follows:

BURGLARS WORK ON
BUSY CORNER

While hundreds of people were pass
ing within a few feet of them, bold
burglars cracked the safe in the office
of the Home Mutual Deposit Loan Com
pany in the Saint Mungo block, 1900
Golden Gate avenue, corner of Fill
more, yesterday morning and secured
about S35. After accomplishing this
they pried open the doors leading to
the Offices of the Mount OIivet Gene
terry Company, e. j. Livernash G.. A.
Turner & Co. and Martin Stevens in
the same building. The robbers se-
cured nothing in these offices, but
"jimmied" their way into desks and
lockers and ransacked the contents at
their leisure.
Entrance into the office of the de-
posit and loan company was effected
by prying open the locked door. The
outside door of the safe was open and
the inner door was only locked. This
was forced open by means of a chisel
and sledge, probably, and the noise
made must have been great. The
building, however, was deserted, as the
janitor had left at o'clock in the
morning He returned at IL and dis
covered the robbery. He is positive
that he locked the door on leaving the
place, and the police, to whom the mat
ter was reported. believe the men must
have been hiding in the building when
the janitor locked the door at 9 o'clock.
Detective Ed Gibson is working on
the case, but as yet has been unable
to secure a clew that would lead to
the arrest of the audacious criminals,
who worked within a few feet Of one
of the busiest corners in the city.
