DIED OF A BROKEN HEART

Mrs. Charles Erminlo, of Spring Val
ley, ILL.,, whose husband was one of the
victims of the Cherry mine horror, is dead
of broken heart
The doctors who attended her, say
that the case is one of the few which
have come to their attention, where the
patient actually died of grief.

The Compost Heap.

BY the compost heap the farmer is
able to multiply his available manure
many-fold. We should remember that
anything of vegetable or animal origin is
valuable fertilizer if put in proper condi-
ton. lie compost heap is the means of
doing this One ton of leaves contains
16 pounds of nitrogen, pounds of phos-
phoric acid, and pounds of potash, and
at ordinary values for these substances is
worth nearly So. A ton of straw SINH
larly is worth $2.25, and sawdust $500
These values, of course, are based on
their total composition. In actual practice
it is safe to assume that half of their
values are available. But it is only
after undergoing fermentation in the COM
post heap that these values are available.
That it will pay the farmer to give
more attention to the compost heap has
been repeatedly proved by practical trials.
At the North Louisiana Experiment Sta
ton, Calhoun, La, the following results
were obtained: The land normally would
produce one-forth of bale of cotton and

HOz0 the Compost Heap is Made.

Locate the compost heap IN an old
shed or build shed with any kind of old
materials for its roof. If the shed leaks
some, all the better. Spread on the ground
in a layer 10 inches thick 10 bushels of
stable manure, wetting thoroughly. Over
this scatter 100 pounds of acid phosphate
or 100 pounds of nigh-grade ground phos-
plate rock. Then follow with another
layer of manure and phosphate, etc,
Continue these alternate layers until all
the manure it used up, or until the pile
has become inconveniently high; then
cover the pile, both top and side,with four
inches of forest mold or good loan taken
from the fence corners. If stable manure
or mold is not available, use traw, leaves,
or any waste material, even weeds. Be
sure and wet all thoroughly. After the
heap has stood from four to six weeks
it should be worked over and we'll mix
ed. This is best done by beginning at
one end and cutting it down vertically,
throwing the manure in a pile behind.
Wet again and cover again with loan.
1t will be ready for use in three or four
weeks.
The above proportions are for use with
cotton. When the compost is desired for
corn the quantity of phosphate can be re-
'duced use only 500 pounds instead of 100
to each layer. Thirty bushels, or one
two-horse wagonload, per acre of this
compost will produce very marked results.
When this quantity is used, it is best ap-
piled in the drill just prior to planting.
If preferred, the rows can be marked off
and the compost distributed in this furrow
and then bedded on. Be careful, however,
not to bury in too deep, especially on clay
soils. 1t is safe to estimate that this
quantity of such a compost will more than
double the crop on poor land the first
year. Thus the composted land can be ro-
tated, and in the course of very few
years all the land will be permanently
improved.
Bearing in mind the supplemental value
of the cowpea, it is safe to say that at
least so per cent can be added to the pro-
ductiveness of the average 1oo-acre farm,

often as they see fit, while La
lara and other towns in Conejos
county are required to pay toll
charges which amount to consider
able during the month. The Com
mercial Club passed unanimously
set of resolutions to be pre-
sented at once to the Colorado
Telephone Co. asking said COM
pany to give ConejOs county the
same rates as Rio Grande and
Saguache counties.
The Club is arranging to have
the farmers and citizens of La
lara and vicinity, compete for
prizes during the first part of
September, on agricultural pro-
ducts grown in this community
A suitable room will be secured
for the exhibit and also live stock
will be shown in the younger
classes. Judging to be done by
disinterested parties. After the
exhibition here in La Jara these
products are to be sent to the
Pueblo State Fair and to the Ma
tional Irrigation congress, Sept.
26-30, as products grown in the
La Jara country in the San Luis
valley. This session of the Ma
tional Irrigation congress being
held so near to our valley, should
stimulate in each and every per-
son their best efforts towards
making a good showing from the
San Luis valley, as no doubt
large number of the delegates and
visitors will avail themselves of
the opportunity to visit our val
ley after the meeting in Pueblo.
Further particulars of the La

meeting was well attended last
Friday evening. Samuel Wilson,
chairman of the improvement
committee, reported that Mr.. l..
ID. Eskridge of Denver, with the
other owners of the cemetery,
would meet with the City Coun-
ell the first Tuesday in August,
to arrange the taking over of the
grounds by the town of La Jara.
1t was also suggested that the
railroad crossings be looked after
soon, as our town is badly in
need of better facilities in this
respect.
Mr.. c. l.. Smith and w. p. Fish
er reported several new names
on the drainage petition. About
all the nonresidents in the dis
trict have been communicated

BIG BOARD TELLS
ITS OWN STORY
Capitol Square Crowds Eager to
See Those Prize Fight
Returns.

The big bulletin board, which runs
up two stories on the Bank Street side
of The Times Dispatch Building, gave
the crowds in Capitol Square yesterday
a closer idea that the fight between
Jeffries and Johnson is about TO take
place. Even the last race between
Bryan and Taft did not attract so much
attention, possibly for the reason that
1t was not SO uncertain. But there is
g degree of uncertainty about this big
ring battle, regardless of the assur-
ance on the part of SO many thai the
white man will conquer.
The leased wires running from the
ringside at Reno into The Times-Dis-
patch Building will begin clicking the
momentous story Monday afternoon.
They will bring the story of the fight
by rounds; they will keep the thous-
ands in Capitol Square and in Bank
Street fully informed as to how the
contest is going. An expert, working
in a swinging chair. will paste great
big bulletins on the board, printed in
type large enough to be read yards
away. And then there will be a mega
phone artist TO give some Of the points
in detail. The whole show will be
show unlike anything ever attempted
in RichmonS.'
Who Will ,wcrrS' about a ball game
when there are three here every week
and when big fight comes once In a
lifetime? That being the case the
Colts may romp to glory or bite the
dust again, while the detailed account
flashed from Reno will hold popular
and public attention. It's a free show,
a pig show, great show, and II viii
be mighty good show for those with
sporting blood who talk fight and who
are on edge to get the result long be-
Tore 1t is thrown into type.
