Feed Plants Literally.

1t is a well-known scientific fact
that in order to produce yield from any
soil it must contain an actual excess
over and above all demands that can
possibly be made on it by the plants.
Many farmers will feed their stock as
much nourishlng food as they can pos
sibly assimilate, yet will starve their
crops, on the mistaken notion that
they are "economizing" on fertilizer.
The experiences Of farmers, govern
ment experts and agriculturists every
where confirm the fact that plants,
like animals, need the fullest possible
amount of nourishment that they can
obtain if they are to be developed to
the utmost. The economy in.fertilizers
is not in the amount used, but in the
ratio of quality to COST &C. E. Ivey.

MOOSE IN CAPTIVITY.
Not Difficult to Oomesticate, but Hard
to Keep Alive.

"The reason so few Moose are seen
in captivity in the parks and circuses
of the country is not because they are
naturally too wild to be domesticated,
but because they usually do not live
long in captivity" said ST. Paul man.
''1Iy father was for many years a set
tier in northern Minnesota, and at diff
ferent times in his experience he had
three moose on his homestead which
recognized him as their master.
"All the animals were captured when
they We're very young, and in each in
stance it took them only q few days to
become apparently attached to father
and his small farm. For two or three
weeks he would keep them fenced in
and then would allow them to roam
around at will. They would be gone
for two or three hours, or perhaps half
day at a time, but always came back
all right. By allowing them the run

shipped to the city "a change was no.
ticeable.
1.-TWO OF the animals were sold to
city park associations at different
times, and in each instance the moose
finally died. They seemed willing
enough to remain in the parks, but
conditions were not such as they were
used to, and from the first it was to
be seen that they were failing in
health. A moose can stand all sorts
of hardships in the woods, but wheL
he is in captivity lack Of exercise or
lack of proper food or lack Of some
thing else puts him on the down grade.
and as a rule he passes in his checks
in a few weeks or few months at the
outside.
Zone Of the animals my father
owned was a handsome bull, and he
was trained to harness. The animal
could pull good sized load aud travel
through the woods with a sleigh be-
hind him at very lively clip. This
third moose was one day shot by a
hunter near the house. So all three
animals met with an untimely fate,
which goes to prove, I suppose, that
man should not monkey with the plans
