NEW YORK, March % The early prom
Use today Of an inert holiday market was not
borne out by the later developments when In
ereasing pressure Of stocks for sale carried
prices comprehensvely downward.
Ii was asserted that large part OF INC

The Boston selling accompanied by
professions of apprehension that revisions Of
the tariff would be made an active issue or
the coming political campaign with the ira
ditionally unsetttnng effect on the securities
markets.
The results Of the New York city bond sale
did not create enthusiasm. as they were
studied in their larger bearings This feeling
was emphasized by the renewed decline in
the price of New York city bonds, the new

price having amounted 10 Sl0L25, the day s
price thus represented a loss TO the sub

An incident Of the day was the declaration
Of only the regular dividend on Pittsburg,

accompanied by rumors that the Baltimore &

The recent acquisition OF Hooking Valley by
Chesapeake & Ohio has served to increase tho

Completely Pauperized.

Albert w. Hebbard. New York's
charity expert, said at recent din
ner:
THE great danger of charity is Its
pauperizing effect. This effect must
be avoided, or the recipients will all
become Jack Ranches.
Jack Hanch, on the score OF bad
health never worked. and the pastor
OF the Methodist church, a man whose
heart sometimes outran his head, sent
the idler and his family weekly gifts
Of food and clothing-supported the
whole crew, in fact.
"A church visitor, after listening to
Jacks complaints one day. said:
Eyes, OF course. you have had bad
health we know that; but one thing
at least you ought to be thankful for.
and that is our pastors kindness in
sending you all this bread and meat
and jelly and blankets and so on.
Don't you think 1t Is good of him to
look after you SO well?"
"'Good of himT said Jack. impa-
tiently. Why. what's he forT"

A few days ago. In . somewhat

the litter on the floor and the untidy
array Of clothing on the walls. A wom-
an talking with a neighbor ran scream
Ing to the house and without an in
stant's hesitation sprang through the
smoking doorway into what already
seemed an inferno. A moment later
she staggered out. her hands and
face blackened and blistered and her
clothing on IRE. In her arms she bore
her baby, safe from harm.
The afternoon papers came out with
the story. printed under headlines ex-
tolling this mothers heroism. Men
read 1t on street cars. and as their
eyes cleaned with the stirring of the
spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds
they said: THAT woman dared, to do
what most men would be afraid to do"
But the mothers who read It at homo
did not think that way. Perhaps tho
danger to the baby, the wrecking Of
the home and the burns the woman
suffered brought moisture to their
eyes. but to them the act was not one
of heroism-it was simply what any
natural mother, no matter how timid.

stances.-Cleveland Leader.

let us consider a few fundamentals of crop
growing
First. there are six positive, absolutely es-
sential factors They are: ~ the seed.
(2) the plant home, (3) the food of which the
plant is made, az moisture, (5) heat, (6) light.
Now, except In the case OF the seed and plant
food these factors are largely beyond the farm
er's control. Dame Nature can, however, be
trusted to attend to them satisfactorily. How,
then, has the farmer made use of his ability to
control the two factors? BY exercising judy
ment and care in the selection of seed and by
ignoring the matter of plant food entirely. The
result? When the land was worn out and had
no plant food to give the good seed the agricul-
turist arose irately in farmers institute and
told what he thought Of the seed seller. The
trouble all the time was not with the seed but
with the soil. which had had the elements Of
plant food removed In previous crops, and as
a consequence could not respond to the call Of
the seed
What are these elementsf There are ten
in the list, but eight are provided abundantly.
Three-oxygen. hydrogen and carbon-come
directly from the air and water. Most nor
NAL rolls contain enough potassium, magne-
siutn, iron. calcium and sulphur, although some
times the FIRST must be supplied. The problem
of plant food, therefore, narrows ITSELF In most
cases, to maintaining and increasing the phos-
phorus and nitrogen.
Now nitrogen is az easy to catch az the

A physician, of Portland, Oregon,
has views about food. He says:
II have always believed that the
duty of the physician does not cease
with treating the sick. but that wc
owe 1t to humanity to teach them how
to protect their health, especially By
hygienic and dietetic laws.
with such feeling as to my duty
I take great pleasure In saying to the
public that In my own experience and
also from personal observation have
found no food equal to Grape Nuts,
and that find there II almost no limit
to the great benefits this food will
bring when used in all cases Of sick
ness and convalescence.

of nitrogen is may be seen from the fact that
a 100-bushel crop of corn takes from the soil
almost 100 pounds Of nitrogen In the corn and
about 48 pounds In the stalks. Rich, well-bal-
anced land In the corn belt contains about
5000 pounds of nitrogen. Therefore. II the
process of subtraction of nitrogen goes on
year after year with never an addition, It can
be seen clearly that the farmers finances can
not multiply Rotation plans for grain farm
ers always should include crop of legumes
Wheat, corn, oats and clover IL a satisfactory
rotation: also wheat, corn and COW peas; also
cotton, corn and oats and COW peas. The first
Of these rotations should include catch crop
of clover seeded the first year and plowed un-
der for corn as late as practicable the second
year. The other two should include catch
crops OF legumes whenever possible. Legumes
when plowed under perform valuable services
besides supplying the soil with nitrogen-as
they decay they supply organic matter to the
soil which helps other elements Of plant food
to free themselves from the earth and into the
farmers bank account.
Now that the question Of nitrogen has been
outlined. suppose we turn to the problem Of
phosphorus, the only elemeht Of plant food we
ever shall have to buy. AS to the Importance
of the use Of phosphorus upon the common
soils Of the United States. Dr. Hopkins has
this TO say:
phosphorus IL the key to permanent az
ricuIture on these lands. To maintain or In
crease the amount Of phosphorus in the soil
makes possible the growth of clover or other
legumes and the consequent addition Of nitro
gen from the fnexhaustible supply IN the air;
