MARK TWAIN AND
THE MOTOR CAR.

Mark Twains name has habit OF
slipping into a mans conversation be-
fore he knows it. Two men were dis
cussing the peril of the pedestrian in
the path of the incontinent motor car.
Luckily nature has her own way OF
looking after u.s." said one. do you
remember one of Mark Twain's short
err stories called "A Horses Tale,
where an old army colonel is teaching
a tot of a girl how to ride? Mark
says he taught her sixteen ways of
breaking her neck and twenty-five
ways of avoiding it." That's the adj
vantage nature gives our side"
The other man laughed. I've read
that story myself" he said, "and l
know a better one than that. You re-
member the childs sorrow when she
had crushed the helpless insect and
what she said? Poor little anty, I
didn't mean to kill you; but there
wasn't any other way to save you,
it was such a hurry!' I guess that

Do not cut the corn, until it is mature
This is about ten days to two weeks
after the stage of development at
which the fodder is usually pulled. The
corn should not be cut and shocked I'M
til the most of the leaves and the
shucks have turned brown. If cut as
early as some people pull fodder this
will reduce the yield as much as pull

will not be as good for seed, but we
have never advised cutting the corn
until it is mature.
| The results or the test made at the
Georgia Experiment Station indicate
that when corn is cut at the rlgh'
time and cured in the shock, as many
mounds of shelled corn are obtained
as when the plants are not touched
until late in the fall. That is, the

THE USE OF lime
AS A FERTILIZER

ate of potash, as pointed out In Elk
pertinent Station Work., p. IT,
The liberal use Of muriate Of potash
and similar fertilizers on soil not
abundantly supplied with lime should
be accompanied by periodical applica-
lions of lime.
"A deficiency of lime in the soil Is
accompaniedby by a state of acldlty
or sourness, fatal to the vigorous
growth of many crops. The Rhode
Island Station has shown that TINS
condition of acidity is widespread
even in upland soils which are. well
drained and not supposed to be sour,
as we'll as low, wet soils. 1t was
found in experiments at this station
with different forms of nitrogen that
sulphate of ammonia was positively
poisonous to plants on such SOILS
when it was not used in connection
with lime. When the acidity of the
soil was corrected by applications OF
air-slacked lime, the sulphate of am
monia was beneficial. This benefi
c1al effect OF fine was probably large
ly due to the fact that the hme restor
ed the alkiline condition of the soil
necessary to the transformation Thy
nitrif cation) of the sulphate OF am
monia into the nitrates so necessary
to most crops. The station has grown
some $50 varieties of plants on these
acid soils before and after lining. In
these experiments the lined plants
Ihaye received air-slacked lime at the
rate of 5,400 pounds per acre n the
Spring of 1898, and 1000 pounds II
the Spring of 1894 The results have
! ben very decisive"
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-08-26

The result herein reported show j;
some features of the progress that /,
has recently been made in the inves-
tigation of the value of Lime as a ,
Fertilizer. The practical side is pre-
Isented by the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington, D. G. as fol-
lows:
Lining is a very old agricultural
practice, and the Importance of lime
as a fertilizer has long ben recogniz-
ed, although it's true value is being
largely explained by investigations
that are now in progress. AS a rule
the beneficial effect of lime has here
tofore been ascribed mainly to its ac.
tion in improving the texture and
drainage of the soil, its Fastening the
decomposition of organic matter in
the soil, in rendering the inert nitro
gen of the soil humus more available
to plants, and in assisting in setting
free the potash and other inert fertil-
izing constituents of the soil. While
all these benefits may fairly be ex-
pected to recuTt from the use of prop
err conditions, recent Investigations
have shown that it performs other
equally important functions in the
soil. and that it's abundance or def
cheney there is a matter of greater
Importance than it was formerly sup
posed to be.
ut has been generally assumed that
there is a sufficient quantity of lime
in most soils to met the demands Of
ordinary crops, The Minnesota,
Rhode Island, and other stations have
shown that except in limestone re-
gions it is as likely to be deficient as
potash or phosphoric acid. Especial
ly is this true of soils derived from
the decomposition of granite. In test
ing the fertilizer requirements of soils
it becomes as important, therefore, to
determine whether lime is deficient as
whether potash and phosphoric acid
are lacking. A deficiency of lime
may be due to the continued growth
and removal of crops without lining,
or to teaching out of lime, a process
which is continually going on, and
which is greatly fastened by the use
of certain fertilizers, especially muri-

WHEN TO CUT AND
SHOCK THE CORN.

We have had numerous letters about
when to cut and shock the corn. Many
of these indicate that our readers have
not read our statements correctly. For
instance, we are asked if when the
corn is cut before it IS mature it will
not lose as much as when the fodder
is pulled, or if it will do for seed.
One of the reasons we advise to cut

HOW GREECE TREATED
 OLYMPIAN CUTTERS
Henry B. Wright Uses Incident to Illus. trate Lecture on 'sFinished Work"

Henry B. Wright. Ph.D., of Yale gave a helpful address on Finished Work" last night at the Y. M c. A. He used many striking illustrations, among them the sixteen monuments to the quitters in the Grecian games, Olympia. These sixteen men were the only ones in over a thousand of these athletic games who failed in sufficient courage to meet their opponents. They were required to erect from their own purses these monuments to their own shame
 A supper was served last night at the Y. M C. A., at 6:30. Keeler's or chestra furnished music. Secretary Lacy presented a plan for summer Bi- ble study through a course which is printed monthly in Association Men, the national organ of Young Mems Christian Association movements. Philo Ravens gave an interesting re- view of the course taught by William Hamilton Wood of Yale University who has led the Salmon Bible Study this year. H. P. Lewis reviewed the seasons work of the popular class for men taught by Rev. Kenneth Macken- zei, Jr., of Westport.

An Eye For an Eye.

A young IdQy IrleuQ OI our dcQudlnC ance has recently received a shock Among her extensive male acquaint ances there is blue eyed youth. He goes much into society and is a hot fla vorite among the nicer sex because of his eyes. Alack! One of them Is glass. But there is no need, as he says, for every one to know that, and, really, it seems so much the counterpart of the other that not one in a hundred would detect it. On this occasion he escorted the young lady in question to re- freshment room. As they were taking tea and coffee he looked unutterable things at her, when all of sudden she gave vent to a startled exclamation. Her eyes fixed on his with a mysteri- ous intentness and horror. A fly had settled in the center of his glass eye and remained there, he, of course, un- conscious of it's presence. The sight of that eye looking at her with fly on it and the owner making no attempt to brush it of, was too much for his con- panion. It overpowered her, and she shudders when she recalls the circum- stance.-London Answers.

Moliere, Scott and Homer.

"As Moliere never had the heart to draw a jealous woman among all his pictures of men who knew, like him. self, the torments of jealousy, so Scott never had the heart to draw a young and beautiful woman who is wicked" writes Andrew Lang. ''This ancient familiar source of poignant interest he passes by, out of his great chivalry. There was nothing to prevent him from writing a romance on the passionate, wretched tale of the once beautiful Ulrica in Ivanhoe,' a fair traitress driven on the winds of revenge, treach- cry and parricide. Here was theme for realistic novel of England after the conquest, but Scott sketches it lightly as a Thyestean horror in the background. In his work such piece of realism stands alone, like the story of Phoenix in Homer's work Gin the ninth book of the 'Iliado. Both artists. Scott and Homer, had a sense of rever- ence for human things. TLey did not lack the imagination necessary for the portrayal of the evil and terrible, but they did not seek success in that popu- lar region"

 Hartford April 9. So strong has been the protest of the Connecticut hotel keepers against the feature of the amendments to the automobile law which the commit tee on roads, bridges and rivers has about ready to report requiring non-residents to pay a tax of a dollar for the time they are driv- ing machines within and through this state, that it has been decided to omit men have a strong lobby at work and propose to practically dictate the auto law amendments if possible.
 The proposition was to charge fee of one dollar a day and issue registra- tion cards good for one, three or ten days which would be on sale not only by town authorities but also in hotels York, Boston and elsewhere. so that there would be no inconvenience to the autoiSt in the collection of the fec
 The most noteworthy change in the present law, now eo be reported by the committed is the doubling of the reg istration fee for machines owned in this state. The present scale of fees was turned over to the highway com missioner for use on the roads and 1t is figured that in increasing the fee for machines under twenty horse power to S6 and grading them from that figure to $3O would raise at least $15O,000 to help pay for the damage the autos do to the roads. The hotel men are op- posed to this and are supported by the automobile manufacturers but it is thought probable that the legislature will look on it with favor as a reason able means of increasing revenue.

Orfgin of Alcohol.

A scientist says that when people were cave dwellers their diet consisted entirely of roots and fruits and that it is not unnatural to suppose that the food was often stored away. In course of time the fruit fermented, the sugar in it was turned into pure alcohol and the cave dwellers drank it and got to like it. This was the beginning of the use of alcohol.

TESTIF|ES IN
THE RIOT TRIAL
Fushino Attempts to Show the
Gathering Was Very
Orderly.

The trial Of the ten japanese charged
with rioting at Waipahu was resumed
before Judge Robinson yesterday morn
ing. a Fushino, the secretary Of the
Higher Wage Association and de-
PENDANT IN the case, having been placed
upon the stand as d witness for the de-
tense.
Under the direct examination by At
torney Lightfoot, Fushino declared that
he acted as a peacemaker during the
progress Of the disturbance, and he
would not say that there was any gen
eral indication of trouble on the part
of the japanese.
He was put through the same form
of questioning as have been the othe.
defendants who have been called as
witnesses for the defense, but he was
far from being at ease when Attorney
Kinney for the prosecution took him in
hand for cross-examination. His at
tempt to show that he strained every
effort to put an end to the demonstra
ton and prevail upon his fellow coun-
trymen to dispense did not bear up I'M
der the rapid-fre questions hurled at
him by Kinney, and it was plain enough
that there was much hollowness in his
version of the gathering at Waipahu.
The testimony and examination of
the defendants in the riot trial is tax
ing longer than was first expected, and
it is believed that if the trial is con-
Guided next week there viii be reason
for congratulation. The witnesses for
the defense-the defendants-ar being
examined infinitely by Attorney Kinney
and the jury is being given a good OPP
pOrtunity to discover how their stories
look through a series of questions that
bear upon every possible point of the
riot at Waipahu on June 10.
