propaganda from the ground up.
He believes in the immense value and
the instant and far-reaching effect of
nitrate of soda. He makes known
his faith from the house-tops and
spreads it throughout the entire
country in literature of the most
captivating and impressive character.
He does not claim that nitrate of
soda is complete fertilizer; not at
all, but he persuasively insists that
it's presence is indispensable to every
fertilizer formula, whether for ma
chine or home mixing. He gives all
the facts just as they are in relation
to the constituent elements of the
nitrate. This is done so nicely, so
attractively, the average purchaser
believes, when he purchases 1000
pounds-the usual individual pur-
chase-he is laying in store 1000
pounds of plant food when, according
to the propaganda, he is in posses
sion of $50 to $50 pounds of plant
food. That is a result of lack of in
formation. That is all. 1t is a mis-
take on the part of the buyer, not
the fault of the seller.
1t is a plain proposition, but, oft
times, men, talking about the use of
nitrate, assume a self-contained air
and project their advice in monosyI-
tables. That looks learned, don't you
see.
The simplicity of the whole mat
ter is, that, if one be DESTROYS to
encourage the growth of stem and
leaf, he should use nitrate fairly lib
orally. He should do this in COM
pounding or mixing his fertilizer, and
in feeding it to the crop as it grows.
If one is raising cabbages, for ex-
ample, he must have a 7-4-9 mixture,

COTTON is KING OF EXPORTS,

Cotton is King in the exports of
products of agriculture, the value ex-
ported during the year being 585 mil
lion dollars, by far the largest total
ever shown in the cotton export
trade, against $50 millions in 1910
and 481 millions in 1907, the former
high record year. Meat and dairy
products show total of approx
mate1y $50 million dollars, against
131 millions last year, but materially
less than in certain earlier years in
which the total ranged as high as 2O2
million dollars in 1907 and 211 mil
lions in 1905. Food animals show
total of Is million dollars, against
a little less than IL millions last
year, but much below the figures of
earlier years when the total figures
OF food animals exceeded 43 million
dollars in the high record year 1906.
Flour amounted to approximately SO
million dollars in value, against
At IL millions last year, but much
less than in certain earlier years, the
high record in flour exports in 1893
showing total of approximately
IS IL million dollars.
One peculiar feature of the cotton
export trade is found in the fact that
although the value exceeded by more
than 100 million dollars that of any
earlier year, the quantity exported
was less than in several years. The
quantity of cotton exported in the
fiscal year 1911 was about 4,O29 mil
lion pounds, against 4,448 million
pounds in 1909, and 4.518 million
pounds in 1907, yet the value in 1911
was 585 million dollars against
AT IL millions in 1909 and 481 mill
lions in 1907.

FARM NOTES OF INTEREST.

One of the greatest evils of dairy
farming is the haste to sell off the
best COWS in the herd. A great many
farmers let their judgment run away
with them when buyer of COWS
comes along and offers a good price
for a COW or several COWS. In JUS
tice, however, it should be said that
this practice is not as common as it
was few years ago. Farmers are
beginning to realize that it is more
profitable to keep the best COWS and
sell the poor ones, even if the poor
ones have to be sold for beef
purposes. Under the best of condi-
lions it is a hard row to hoe to make
a fortune in the dairying business.
If the average farmer had the cOur-
age to keep an accurate account of
his COWS for one year he would rea-
lie that it takes pretty good COW to
earn her board and a little more.
What hope has the farmer to make
money when he makes practice
of selling Off his best COWS and heif-
ers? If every farmer would make a
practice of weighing and testing the
milk and keeping the best COWS, and
breeding them to good sires, it
would not take many generators of
breeding to bring the dairy industry
into It's own.

the next morning the Eskimo was
found to be engaged in telephone con-
structiOn work of his own. He stuck
some sticks in the ground and hung
his wire on them He held one end of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top Of his voice Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.

The kangaroo's Defense

In the kangaroo hunts of Australia
capture is sufficiently easy, but some
times the kangaroo makes an original
defense.
If possible, the kangaroo directs his
flight toward a river. If he reaches 1t
he enters and, thanks to his great
height, he is able to go on foot to a
depth where the dogs are obliged to
swim There he plants himself on his
two hind legs and his tail, and up to
his shoulders in the water, awaits the
arrival of the pack. With his fore
paws he seizes by the head the first
dog that approaches, and as he is
more solidly balanced than his as
sailant he holds the dogs nose be-
meath the water as long as he can
Unless a second dog speedily comes to
the rescue the first one is inevitably
drowned If a companion arrives and
sets him free, he is glad to regain the
bank as quickly as possible. A strong
and urageous kangaroo will hold his
own against twenty or thirty dogs,
drowning some and frightening others,
and the hunter is obliged to intervene
with a bullet.

An excellent plan to follow in de-

to place an infected apple in a jar

Story of the Dying Gambler of Nevada
Told by James w. Nye, Who Was
First Territorial Governor of
That State.

James W. Nye, appointed by Presi-
dent Lincoln as first territorial gov
ernor of Nevada, and elected one of
the senators from Nevada after it was
admitted to the Union, was in his day
nationally renowned as political
speaker. 1t was said of him that bet

senate-"the territory Of Nevada,

about the weirdest and most lawless
community then existing anywhere on

there was in existence a kind of rude

than any written law to restrain the
lawless from carrying things on with
what might be called a high hand.

Hitherto Unrelated Story Of General
Arthur's Nearly Fatal Illness on
Dispatch Boat After Paying
Visit to Savannah.

The people Of the United States
have hitherto never known how mar
rowly they escaped a double presiden-
tial tragedy between the years 1881
and 1888. Of course, the assassination
Of President Garfield was world
moving event. But there was a time,
a night in April, 1883, when for few
hours the danger was grave that Presi-
dent Chester A. Arthur, who succeeded
Garfield, would fail to respond to med
zeal treatment. Had the apprehension
of his physician proved correct, then
for the first time in our history the
duties of the Office of president would
have deyolved upon the president pro
tempore of the United States senate.
In April, 1883, President Arthur was
invited to visit Florida. When the
citizens of Savannah learned that he
would on that excursion approach as
close to Savannah as the mouth of
the river, they urged him with much
cordially and eaTnestness to become
a guest OF the city. The president felt
that he could not refuse so cordial an
invitation. He reached Savannah on

President Arthur was entertained

some of the leading men of that city.
At about midnight he returned to the
Tallapoosa, pretty well tired out What
later occurred was told me confden-

physician attached to the Tallapoosa.

kind are associated with Bright's dis

a while, 1 feared MORALLY Ill. And he
was suffering agonizing pain.
