gray and red land mixed. Would it be
best to drop the nitrate in hills along
side the corn or broadcast it,
Where one expects to use but a limited
amount Of nitrate Of soda and make but
one application, IT is probably best to
use the fertilizer when the corn is bunch

ting at that time, so that the silks and
tassels may be properly developed and
an abundance Of vigorous pollen provided
for the proper fertilization Of the ear.
Several methods Of application may be
followed, but where such a limited
amount as you suggest is to be used, 1t
would be best to drop ii alongside the
hills. 1t should not be brought in con-
tact with the plant, however. and should
be distributed on the surface of the
ground. The moisture in the soil will be
sufficient to dissolve and bring It within
the reach OF the roots Of the plant Where
no fertilizer has been used under the
corn, as good results can not be antici-
pated from the use OF nitrate as where
complete fertilizer containing an album
dance OF mineral matter was used. Plants
require a balanced ration, and corn es-
pecially must have all Of what are gen.

A CASE OF CHRONIC INDIGESTION
A Subscriber. Lithonia, Ga. writes: I
have a mule that is getting pretty old
She has a humor in her blood l suppose,
as she bites herself and kicks and paws
She kicks so badly that she keeps her
stall torn up. She has been this way
three or four years. but is getting worse
She is blind In one eye. Do you think
this trouble caused her to go blind?
Your mule is troubled with chronic in
digestion and the attendant Ills OF maInu-
triton and skin trouble known to the
farmer as "farcy." The whole condition
may arise from bad teeth, which is a
common source of trouble in old animals.

ASK FOR EXPOSITION

WASHINGTON, May 2S-The New Or
leans exposition boomers yesterday en-
deavored to convince the senate commit
tee that the southern city should be rec
ognized as the place for an exposition
in 1915 to celebrate the opening of the
Panama canal.
After the New Orleans speakers had
concluded Edward A. Filene. OF Boston.
argued that Boston was the place for the
exposition. Washington, d. c., was call
ed on to present it's claim, but no one
appeared for the national capital The
state government of Louisiana was well
represented. Governor Sanders, Mayor
Beherman, of New Orleans; Lieutenant
Governor Lambremont, Speaker Dupree,
Of the house, and L. e. Bentley, secre-
tary of press committee of New Orleans,
were the speakers for the gulf city. The
arguments were similar to those pre-
scented to the house committee on expo

QUESTION AND ANSWER DEPARTMENT
FOODS OF IMPORTANCE
IN FEEDING THE CATTLE

part OF the ration be prepared so as to
insure its being assimilated most COM
pletely because it economies the food
and because il economies the food
must be exercised in the preparation or
concentration for younger animals than
for older ones.
One OF the most important adJuncts
on the stock farm is the hog. They
should be kept in sufficient quantity to
follow after the animals and clean up
any grain which may have escaped d.
gestion. Very often the hogs will
show a profit when the steers fail to do
so and though opinion is somewhat di-
vided. we are inclined to think there is
little danger from hogs following cat
tie consuming large quantities of cot
ton seed meal We can only say on
this point that several years OF ex-
perience in which very considerable
quantities OF meal were consumed by
the steers has failed to result in injury
to the hogs following the cattle. We
wish to emphasize this matter OF pay
ing attention to the hog as an adjunct
in beef production, for 1t is certain that
unless hogs are kept benin. the ami
mails that from 81 to Is or even more
OF profit per steer, depen-.ng on the
market price OF pork. Will be lost. An
abundant supply OF pure wafer is abso-
lutely necessary in beef production. The
cattle should be fed with regularity,
kept in quiet and comfortable surround
ings, and the feed varied sufficiently
to keep the appetite on edge.
Study the market conG-Ifons; utilize
the best grade OF cattle available, and
seek to get better ones every year
Adjust your crop rotauons and your
farm practice so as 10 enable you to
produce by far the larger part OF the
ration at home. Let II consist chiefly
OF legumes, thereby improving your
land and making your profits from beef
production more certain Utilize cot
ton seed meal and grass as much as
possible during the summer months,
and then credit yourself with the bene-
fit OF the manure accommodating in your
feed lots from year to year. and which
will enable you to save substantially
on the purchase of COMMERCIAL fertili-
GERS, and see II beef production is not
more profitable practice than you
have frequently given it credit with be-
ing.

Francis 1 of France, are notable from the

of Calais. France. The place of inter-
view between the monarchs was an open

was the display that many of the king

of their lives, to repair the vain spieh-

On May 81, 1880, the first copyright law
OF the United States was passed. IL was
entitled AN act for the encouragement
OF learning by securing the copies or
maps, charts, and books to the authors
and proprietors OF such copies during the
times therein mentioned"
This statute gave to authors. who were
citizens or residents of the United States,
their heirs and assigns, copyright in
maps. charts and books for IA years, and
provided for second term of duration
IL the author should be living at the ex-
piration of the first. The act also pro-
vided a remedy against the unauthorized
publication of manuscripts belonging 20
citizens or residents of the United
States.
Still further provisions were extended
I'm 1902, and every few years from that
time on, the last copyright laws of the
United States going into effect on July l
of last year The present law allows 70
years as the duration of the original
term. Within one year prior to the ex-
piration of this term the author, II living,
or the widow or widower of the author.
or the children of the author II not liv-
ing, or next Of kin, If none of the above
are living, may secure a renewal for a
further term OF Is years, making Sc years

On February 1, 1887, Henry Clay pre-
sented to the senate a petition OF st
British authors, asking for an interna-
tional copyright, and an act of August
10 1876, required that copies Of books to
secure the copyright must be deposited
