least trouble. Do not throw ashes
on the manure pile, for the mixture
of the two results in chemical action
which sets free the nitrogen in the
manure and it passes off in the air
and is lost. Care must also be taken
in applying ashes around trees and
plants, to see that they are not hot.
Often they are taken out of the stove
along with many Goals, and these
carelessly poured around a tree or
vine would kill it. A neighbor's son
set fire to a valuable outOuilding by
throwing a bucket Of hot ashes against
it's side. 1t is safe plan never to
let the ashes come in contact with
the stem of tree or plant.
In addition to the above, the fol-
lowing from bulletin of the Kansas
Experiment Station, will give some
valuable statistics as to the real value
of ashes.
An average sample Of unleached
wood ashes contain seven per cent.
of potash and two per cent Of phos-
phoric acid, which, at current retail
prices of these plant foods, makes
wood ashes worth about 5 cents per
hundred pounds, or So per ton. Be-
sides the actual fertilizing value, by
reason Of the potash and phosphoric
acid contained in the ashes, there is
some value in ashes simply from the
power which potash has to make the
nitrogen of the soil available for
plants by the chemical action on the
organic matter and humus in the soil,
The potash in ashes exists in a
readily soluble form, and is thus I'M
mediately available for plant food.
Ashes also contain little magnesia
and a considerable amount Of car
Donate of lime, which is Of some i'm
portance because Of it's effect in i'm
proving the texture Of heavy soi.s.
The farmer can better afford to pay
So or $40 ton for good wood ashes
than the usual rates for almost any
potash fertilizer.
Leached ashes have rarely more
than one per cent. of potash and one
half per cent. of phosphoric acid,
which will make them worth about
81 or 81 per ton as fertilizers, but
on heavy soils they may often be
applied with profit just for the loos-
ening effect, and they are valuable
as a top-dressing Or mulch in fruit
gardens.
Sifted coal ashes absorb liquids, fix
volatile ammonia, prevent offensive
odors, and are valuable as absorbents
under hen roosts or in stables Wood
ashes should not be placed under hen
roosts or in stables, because potash
liberates the manure, and the ashes
as fertilizers is deteriorated
On average soils, fruits and veg
etables are benefited by liberal ap-
plications Of wood ashes, and re-
markable results have been obtained
by the use Of ashes on legume crops,
especially clover and alfalfa.
Ashes are best applied i'll the spring,
separately or in connection with
phosphate fertilizers as a top-dress-
ing. For cultivated crops the ashes
should be spread broadcast after the
land has been narrowed and made
practically ready for the crop, and
cultivated in by light narrowing.
Wood ashes may be applied at the
rate of twenty-five to fifty bushels,
one thousand to two thousand pounds
to the acre. One ton of good wood
ashes will contain about 40 pounds
Of potash and forty pounds Of phos-
OhOric acid

Ashes on the Farm.

Ashes on the Farm.
Most people know the value of
ashes, but for those who do not, the
following from the American Agri-
culturist will be interestino and valua-
BILE:
Ever since my first farming days
[ have had lively appreciation Of
the value of ashes on the fruit farm.
Having once realized their value as
a fertilizer, it has become my habit
to see that none of it goes to waste
There are really very few farmers
who are not aware that ashes are
a valuable fertilizer, that they contain
a large amount Of potash, one Of the
chief ingredients Of a complete fer
tilizer, and that they have a most
benetlcient effect on every kind of tree,
shrub, plant or vegetable. The effect
of potash on trees is to harden the
fiber of the wood, and to give the
fruit a better flavor and a higher
color. There is nearly always nj
trogen enough in the soil to allow the
tree sufficient growth, and often too
much, but the supply Of potash is
often deficient.
The same general effects are ap-
parent on small fruits Of every de-
scrip i O n, including Strawberries.
Especially should ashes be applied as
the principal fertilizer to those vari-
cites which are inclined to make foil
age at the expense Of fruit, as the
Candy and most Of the rapid growing
early sorts.

mercial value, and are largely import
ed from Canada and sold to the farm
ers and fruit growers by the carload.
In most places here in the west they
are much cheaper. For example, a
local lime kiln which burns wood,
charges only rs cents for two-horse
load Their true value is not yet
realized, for rs cents is nearer their
value per bushel than per load; but
any such prices on ashes here would
not be listened to.
This lack Of appreciation Of their
true value results in a great waste
of this fertilizer. I know large fac
tory which shovels them into the
river, although there are farmers close
Bly, On most farms that [ have visit
ed there is little or no attention paid
to the disposal of the ashes from the
stoves, though during the period of
a long and severe winter they amount
to large quantity. Old tin buckets
make good receptacles for ashes, for,
of course, they should never be put
into wooden ones. I often find it
convenient to accumulate several
bushels before distributing them, and
old lard cans or any kind of metal
vessels will serve the purpose, Or the
ashes may be poured into heap,
provided they are protected from
the rain It is very good plan,
however, just as in the case OF stable
manure, to carry the ashes away
as fast as made, and scatter them
wherever wanted Put them around
rose bushes and Towering shrubs and
under shade and fruit trees. Scatter
them over the lawn, for they are a
fine stimulant to the grass, and, un-
like stable manure, they do not mar
the appearance Of the yard, as they
leach away with the first rain.
On many farms the ashes receive
no attention whatever, but are care
lessly dumped about in piles in the
back yard, in fence corners, or even
in gullies, the only object being to
get them out of the way with the

SUCCESS.
The Woodmen Minstrels Last
 Night Quite Pleasing.

The entertainment at the operi; house last night, under the au- spices of the local WOodman lodge and the leadership of Mr. Roltare, was witnessed by good sized audience, and thoroughly enjoyed by every one present. Every act was pleasing, and MT. Roltare received numerous com plimentS for the wonderful man. ner in which he had worked raw material into first class artists. Some were better than others, possibly, but all were good, and in order not to do an injus- tice to any one, we shall avoid special mention of any ex- cept MT. ROltare, who as a pro fessional, ranks with the best in the country. His songs, as well as his other specialties, were as good as has ever been on the To- cal stage, while the support given him by the local talent was far above the average seen in amateur performances.
 One of the most pleasing fea- lures of the evening was the music, which was splendidly rendered by Miss Jennie Lewis.
 The receipts were satisfactory both to the Woodmen lodge and to Mir. Roltare.

More Demonstration Farms.

The demonstration farm work in Arkansas, under the direction of the department of agriculture at Washington, will be greatly enlarged within the next few weeks.
 Six local agents are to be ap- pointed to assist the four special agents in the state. A. V. Swaty of Little Rock and D. R. Swaty of Monticello will each be assign ed one Assistant, and w. $. Alp ple of Camden and J. J. Moore of Hope will each be assigned two assistants.
 In addition to enlarging the force of agents, the order has gone forth for the establishment of 1.200 more demonstration farms in Arkansas. There are now about 50 farms of this kind in the state. According to the arrangements, Special Agent D. R. Swaty is to establish 400 farms; A. V. Swaty, 100; w. S. Apple, 400; J. J. Moore 300.
 In order to secure these farms. the residents in the localities wheret the sites for the demonstra- tion work are required to sub scribe S5 with which to purchase seed for each farm. At meeting of the Board of Trade at Conway, Tuesday night, $125 was sub scribed for the establishment of 25 sites. At the same time the citizens of Atkins, at a mass meeting, subscribed $6O for 12

SATISFIED
Majority of the People of Hot
 Springs Like Reform

Hot Springs, Oct. 16.-A care ful investigation of business con ditions in Hot Springs shows conclusively that the city has not been killed by the closing of the gambling houses and bedrooms, which formerly tlourished here. When the lid" was first clamp. ed on after bitter struggle be- tween the reform element and the men who stood for the order of things, 1t was declared on all sides that the city had received a death blow. It was prNdicted that thousands of people who were. drawn to Hot Springs by a liberal policy which had been pursued in the past by the ad- miniStration, would be driven away and the business of the city would suffer accordingly.
 After several months of the new regime there are still some persons who maintain that the city is dead and will never be re- stored to it's time position un- til the present restrictive policy is abandoned, and the wide-Open conditions reinstated. It is ap parent, however, that those per sons are in the minority and the majority have become convinced that the future of Hot Springs is just as promising, if not more promising, as when the tiger was permitted to stalk unmolested.
 This conclusion is not based on the bare assertion of the leaders of the reform movement, but up on the statements of those who opposed the closing of the gam bling houses, and the general sentiment that seems to prevail among the business men of the city. Statistics relating to the amount of business transacted, the postal receipts and the de posits all lead to the same conclu- sion.

RIGHTS
State Laws Cannot Abridge
 Federal Rights.
Special to the News.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-The sec cretary of state late yesterday afternoon received notification from A. A. Mcdonald of Ft. Smith, prosecuting attorney for that district, to the effect that the Southwestern Telegraph and Telephone Go. has violated the Wingo law, in taking a case from the state courts to the federal court. This notification com poses the official certificatiOn from the prosecuting attorney to the secretary of state, and calls for revocation of the charter of the company, under the Wingo law. But only recently the fed eral court, Judge Treiber sitting, held that the right of a company or person to take cases to the federal court could not be abrid- ged...
 W. J. Terry, general counsel for the telephone company, was notified by the newspaper men shortly after Secretary Ludwig received the message from Pros ecutor Mcdonald, and he stated that there is no question of the right of the company to take any case it desires to the federal court. He holds, also, that .the fact that a company has compiled with all existing laws of a state completes contract, and that a subsequent act of that states legislature can not abrogate this contract. Attorney Terry states that during his twenty years connection with the telephone company only two cases have been taken to the federal court in which the company Was party to the suit. He recalls that one of those was taken by the Cotton Belt and the other by an other railroad company, and that the telephone company took neither of them, pointing out that the telephone company is not in the habit of appealing to the federal courts, where the state courts have jurisdiction.
