Winter dairying has many advan
tages. In the first place. all dairy
products sell Mt high price in tn,
winter. If cows come fresh In tn,
fall they produce good flow of mill
during the winter months. and in the
spring, when they are turned on grass
this acts as second freshening. and
thus lengthens the period Of milk pro
duction. Another distinct advantage
Is that during the winter season the
farmer is not so busy with other work
consequently he can give more time to
the care of the cows. the milk and the
cream than is possible during the busy

thought neither of wild beasts nor of

her, and 1t was for that reason that
she had sent Susan for the wraps.
And now they chung TO these things

They tried to sleep. but. In addition
to the cold. noises now arose that
drove sleep from their tired eyes
strange sounds of the trackless wilder

gradually approached and filled them
with terror. rustlings among the
branches. the swapping of twigs in the
inky darkness. heavier sounds from
the depths Of the forest, animal voices

SIGHT OF THE CHAMELEON
though trembling with fear and sur
prise. she rose to her feet Then for
the first time she noticed the robe that
had covered them. Her quick intelli-
gence, awakened by recent events. told
her the story in an instant. They had
been tracked and recaptured.
For minute the thought OF resist
ance dwelt In Miss Grayman's mind.
But how could she resist? She had no
weapon. and the Indian was armed.
They were both half famished and
worn out. No: resistance was not to
be thought of. The girl did not burst
into tears. She was too dazed. She
said nothing whatever, but. turning to
Susan, tried to revive her. At this
Indian John silently brought water
and threw It into the girls face. She
revived Immediately. Then he offered
them food. which they took. even with
eagerness
He did not hurry them. He seemed
to have infinite patience. But at last
he touched Miss Grayman on the arm
and made her a sign that they must
be going.
Now he spoke: Must not stay where
bad bears. Go back to lodge"
There was a CLEAN Of grave humor
In his eyes.
Miss Grayman made no reply, but,
YEARLY and despairingly, she followed
him, Susan clinging to her side. He
scarcely glanced over his shoulder, al

In an astonishingly short space of time
they saw the CLEAN Of the little lake
and then the lodge. They had been
travelling almost I'm a circle!
AS they approached the lodge Miss
Grayman's heart sank at the sight of
the Chameleon. Payton had returned!
How she dreaded the meeting with
him. But he did not appear. Neither
was Mrs. Williams visible. The In.
dian led them TO the door and paused,

Miss Grayman threw herself on her

that!

High Grade Versus Low Grade
Fertilizers
BY Professor A. j. PATTEN Experiment Station Chemist Michigan
Agricultural College

"A FERTILIZER may be defined as
"a any material which when
A added to the soil will furnish
some form of plant food mi
trogen. phosphoric acid or potash tc
the growing plant or will materially
Increase the supply of these in the soil
"A nigh grade fertilizer is one which
contains the plant food in fairly con
centrated and readily available form
Nitrate of soda. bonemeal. muriate and
sulphate of potash may be mention
ed as examples of high grade fertiliz
Ing materials.
A low grade fertilizer is one which
contains the plant food in small
amounts or in slowly or difficulty avail
able forms. As examples of this class
the following may be mentioned: Gar
bage. tankage. ground leather, dried
peat. untreated phosphate rock, etc.
When these materials are sold sep
arately it is not difficult matter to
determine what they are nor how
much and how available Is the plant
food. for they are usually known and
sold under distinctive names.
Exhaustive experiments have been
made as to availability of the plant
food In practically all of the fertilizing
materials found on the market today
and such information will be gladly
furnished by the state experiment sta
ton. East Lansing, Mich.
When these materials are mixed to-
gether to form the mixed fertilizer OF
commerce 1t becomes a much more diff
ficult matter to decide as to the availa
bility Of the plant food. for most of
them completely lose their identity
In such cases it is impossible for the
ordinary person to tell with the eye
what materials were used in com.
pounding the fertilizer.
In respect to the phosphoric acid and
potash. however. we may have no mis-.
givings, for almost invariably the phos-
phoric acid is obtained from acidulat.
ed rock phosphate or bonemeal and In
either case is readily available Prac-
tically all Of the potash used in COM
mercial fertilizers Is In the form Of
muriate or sulphate Of potash, and as
both these compounds are soluble In
water there need be no fear Of obtain
ing unavailable potash.
The materials furnishing nitrogen.
on the other hand. are many and va
ried. and they differ greatly in nitro
gen availability. There have been
several methods proposed for determin,
ing the availability of the nitrogen In
such organic materials, but none of
them has been generally accepted. 50
that we are still somewhat at the mer
cy Of the manufactures In regard to
the quality Of the heterogeneous ma.
terials used In the commercial fer.
tilizers.
There Is one rule. however, that may
serve to guide us In the, purchase Of
fertilizers. Purchase only those com
mercial fertilizers that have II per
cent or more Of total plant food.
High grade materials usually have n
high percentage Of plant food. and low

grade materials, on the other hand,
usually have low percentage Of plant
food. Thus nitrate of soda contains
1876 per cent nitrogen, dried blood IL
to IA per cent nitrogen. high grade
tankage 10 per cent, while garbage
tankage contains only per cent nitro
gen and mora meal 2.69 per cent nitro
gen. When the high grade nitrogen
compounds are mixed with acid phos-
plate, and muriate of potash the re-
sulting mixture must necessarily be
one of high grade-for examples:

the two was the better.
However. the analysis would give
some guide to the total percentage OF

In the second case 1000 1t would not

high grade materials. without using
considerable quantity Of filler.
1t Is invariably true that the plant
food costs more per pound in the low
grade fertilizer than In the high grade
fertilizer. In other words. the plant
food In a fertilizer retailing for $23
per ton costs more per pound than In II
fertilizer retailing at $40 per ton. The
plant food In the high grade fertilizer
Is more concentrated. and less of II
will be required than Of the low grade

WHY NOT A TRiAL7

Why not give reciprocity a trial, at Ieast2 Approval now does not ne cessariy mean the adoption of a per maueDt policy. A law passed at the next session putting reciprocity in force can be repealed at any subse- queut session. Another election must Of necessity be held in a very short time. probably within two years, and if reciprocity does not in the mean time meet with the approval of our people they can say so at the polls.

FLOATING COURTS

For two years past there has been seen in Alaska a novel experiment, a floating court held on board steam ship. which plies from port to port and at each port tries what eases mag be at issue. This year the voyage of the court lasted eigh. weeks, during which time a large number Of cases were disposed of. The court has gone to the place of trial instead of hay ing witnesses. jurors and prisoners brought before the court at it's reg ular place Of sitting.
 Last year the experiment resulted in saving court epenses to the amount of sS.oOo, while this year the saving has been even greater. The experiment has come to stay.
 The Alaska plan save that in in- stances the court has been actually held on shipboard, is similar to the old methods in the earlier days of the newer states Of courts travelling circuits; a system imported from Great Britain. where it sdl survives The cuort and the members of the bar travelled from one county seat to another, trying cases at each. One judge was enabled to dispose of an extraordinary amount Of business in this manner. It was the custom in Washington, for example, down to Che date of statehood.
 tis particularly adapted to Alaska, that country of magnificent distances and relatively poor transportation facilities It is rendered easy of ap- pucauon there because Of the fact that a revenue cutter is placed at the disposition of the court, which is thus relieved from it's dependence upon commercial lines of transportation, obviatiug long delays after the work is concluded at one place before be ing enabled to embark for another. It results not only in a large saving to the government. but it must oper- ate to an even larger saving to pri- vate Htigauts. who are much less able to afford the loss of time and money which would result from spending weekA in going to the places where court is held.-Seattle P.I.
