Girl CARRIED a. Boy With eypsie..

Girl CARRIED as Boy With Gypsies.
Lincoln, Neb--A little girl, supposed
to be Lille Olson, who disappeared
from her home near Rosalie nearly
six weeks ago. is with a band of gyp-
sizes camped near the village Of An
gus. Rosalie, the Olson home, Is In
the northeastern part of Nebraska. and
Angus is in the extreme southern part
of the state.
When the gypsies passed thru An
gus the girl was dressed as boy. She
was carried in wagon, was fretful,
and her seeming distress aroused cue
riosity.
The people of the town heard the
child's cries and followed the band
out into the country where they
camped The investigators kept watch
on the supposed boy all night. Sheriff
Jones Of Nuckolls county detained the
gypsy band All thru the night the
child cried loudly. The leader of the
gypsies offered her presents, but they
had no effect on the girl. When the
sheriff got to the scene the spies on
the gypsy camp informed him of what
they had seen, and the band was ia
ken back to Angus and later to Mel
son, the county seat.
Sheriff Jones was communicated
with by long distance telephone. He
said the identification was not posi-
tive but the child answered the de-
scription Of the Olson, girl.
That she is not gypsy the sheriff
is positive. He had her picture. with
out objection on the part of the gyp-
sizes, and hopes to make the identifica-
ton positive soon. Her parents at Ro-
salie have been notified.
For three weeks after Lille Olson
disappeared near Rosalie early In De-
cember, the country round about was
searched high and low, thousand
men and boys at one time constituting
the searchers. 1t was finally decided
the child had died from exposure or
had been murdered and her body
concealed,

ORCHARD FERTILIZATION.
Three Elements Required by the Soil
For Best Results.

Three Elements Required by the Soil
For Best Results.
There is an idea more or less com
mon among fruit growers that II they
are growing and removing no crops
from the space between the trees
no plant food is being removed from
their orchard soils. And they reason
therefore that II is not necessary to
apply any fertilizing elements to the
orchards. 1t is true that the soils In
the Bitter Root valley are rich In all
the elements required In. the growth of
plants, but II is only question OF time
when the yields will decrease. and then
the farmers and orchardists win find
that they have been drawing on the
plant food I'm the soil until II is practi-
rally exhausted.
1t is a common saying that old apple
trees produce only small apples. while
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1908-03-04

the younger trees produce large apples.
The reason for this is usually attrib-
uted alone to the age OF the trees and
not to the fact that the trees have been
for years drawing upon the plant food,
while nothing has been added to the
soil.
Professor @. q. Hopkins Of the I'LL
nois experiment station says In regard
to the fertility of the soil: THE pro-
ductive capacity OF practically all soils
In good physical condition is measured
by the available supply of the three
elements. nitrogen. phosphorus and po-
tassium. These are the elements
which are present In nearly all soils In
comparatively small amounts and yet
are absolutely required by all agricul-
tural plants and In very considerable
quantities"
Practically all grain farmers now
realize that It Is Improbable to at
tempt to grow several successive crops
on the same soil without adding Ter
tilizers. In the west where the soi,s
have not yet been totally deprived Of
all food elements barnyard Ianure
clover or peas and other legumes are
usually sufficient to keep the soil In
good productive condition. and these
nanures are now applied at th proper
time by all progressive grain farmers.
Many fruit growers apparently rea-
son that it is not necessary to fertilize
soils upon which fruit trees are grow
ing.
II is conceded by all progressive
farmers that In order TO maintain the
soil fertility and get maximum crops
OF grain from a given field It is neces-
sary to put back In the soil a part at
least of the food elements removed by
the crop. Since an apple crop removes
more plant food per acre than the
grain crops. It seems only reasonable
that more plant food should be re-
turned to the soil.
AS to varieties In the Bitter Root val
ley. from ninety-three growers who

Root crops are valuable feed for
stock. especially during the winter
when they supplement the rations o.
grain and other dry feed stuffs. They
thrive best In regions having moist
and cool weather. but nevertheless
enough heat and sunshine to promote
rapid growth during the growing sea
son. In many sections of the northern
states root crops may be grown with
profit. but the fact that their culture Is
not so generally understood as 1t should
be is, probably the reason that they
are not grown so extensively In the
United States as in Canada and parts
of Europe

Climate of More importance Than
Soil For This Crop.
The best soils for this crop are free
working lands rich In organic matter
and I'm good tilth. Common turnips
will do better on lighter loans than
rutabagas, and these will give bet
ter yield than turnips upon heavy TO
medium loans. Climate Is apparently
of more Importance than soil for this
crop. A damp and rather dull ell
mate, with a well distributed rainfall
throughout the growing season, seems
TO be best.
Preparation Of Land.
To prepare the land II is recommend
ed that an application Of about ten
tons of barnyard manure per acre be
plowed under In fall and the land be
put In good filth the next spring. Lime
slaked to a very fine powder may be
applied at the rate of 1000 pounds Of
quickhme per acre and narrowed in
with 400 to 600 pounds OF acid phos-
phate and fifty pounds OF nitrate OF
soda. This application must be well
Incorporated with the soil before SOW
ing and the seed bed made as fine as
possible. From two and a half to Eve
pounds of seed are usually sown In
the case of rutabagas and hybrid tur-
nips and from two to four pounds or
an average Of three pounds per acre
IN the case OF common turnips when
the rows are twenty-seven to thirty
inches apart
Different Varieties.
In 1905 the New York experiment
station secured from twenty to twenty.
Eve tons per acre from such varieties
as the Improved Green Globe and tho
Carter Mammoth. In 1906 White Egg
gave the largest yield. During two
years hybrid turnips sown on May II
yielded at the rate Of twenty three
tons, while those sown June II yielded
only about fourteen tons per acre.
Carton Pioneer showed considerable
resistance to soft rot, being the only
one not attacked and yielding for the
two years at the rate Of nearly twenty
eight tons per acre.

Blind Staooers.

During winter many farmers lose
stock from various causes. One of
the greatest losses is from blind stag
gers. This is called a disease OF the
brain, but II is well settled that the
trouble begins with the digestive tract
and is caused by impure foods, musty
grains or too long diet Of dried foods
solely. So far as possible this should
be avoided by furnishing stock with
green pasturage during winter. In the
south this can be done at little cost
Besides the safety to the stock Is the
economy OF having part Of the winters
feed furnished as pasturage. 1t is the
custom OF some farmers to plant win
ter wheat or winter turf oats or rye
or other winter growing plants In their
cotton and to use the cotton fields as
pasturage when the cotton crop has
been picked.-Farm and Ranch.

MARKETING ANIMALS.
Some Points Which Determine the
Time of Ripeness.

Time of Ripeness.
Animals that are being fattened for
the market should ordinarily be dis
posed Of as soon as ripe. They are
ripe when they are in condition to
properly meet the demands OF a Ger.
tain market. 1t would also be correct
10 say that I'm another sense they are
ripe when they are so finished thr
ehey cease to give good returns for the
food fed.
When Ready For Market.
Ripeness In this sense may take
place when the animals are yet imma.
ture or even when they are young. A
winter lamb is ripe for the market II
plump and fat at the age Of. say, fifty
to sixty days and when II weighs thir-
ty-five to forty-fve pounds. A yearfing
steer Is ripe for the baby beef market
II fat and plump. although the weight
may not exceed 900 to 100 pounds
A bacon pig may be ripe for the mar.
ket although only moderately fat and
although the weight does not exceed
100 to 225 pounds.
When Gains Cease.
There is a time In the fattening OF
animals when the gains will lessen
materially. If high pressure feeding is
continued long enough they will cease
altogether. Should feeding continue
beyond this point deterioration would
set in. The animal would at length
begin to lose on the principle that
when fruit is ripe 1t begins to go back
ward in the direction of dissolution.
The Importance of marketing De
fore gains fall to point which In
wolves loss when all things are taken
into account Is not easily everest
mated. Increase is most rapid and
most cheaply made at the commence
ment Of the fattening period. 1t grad
ually lessons as the fattening pro
crosses. At length point Is reached
II continued long enough. when gains
will cease. This explains why gains
are more costly as feeding progresses
