Money Lender Had an Eye Out for

Thomas w. Lawson, at a dinner in
Boston, said of far-famed financier:
He is all right at heart, but his
outside is prickly, and you must han
die him with great caution-as they
handled the Tin Can gambler.
"A gambler of Tin Can borrowed a
sum from a money lender and, when
the note fell due, he said he could not
settle.
"'You must settle' shouted the
money lender If you don't settle
I'll
But the gambler, taking a revolver
from his boot, pointed it at the money
lender and said;
Eat that note, or I'll let daylight
through you'll
And the money lender, after mo-
ments silent thought, crumpled the
note into ball, put it in his mouth,
chewed vigorously, anG then, with a
gulp, swallowed the pulpy morsel
That dose saved your life,' said
the gambler, in modified tone, and the
next day he had a streak of luck and
paid the money lender in full
The money lender was much pleas
ed with this honesty, and when the
gambler, few weeks later called and

accommodated.
The gambler. having pocketed the
new loan. sat down. dipped a pen in

whereon to write the usual acknowl

WOOD ASHES HELP ORCHARD
Marked Improvement Is Seen in Both
Apple Trees and Fruit Where
Literally Treated.
(By a. J. Lego


If we could calculate the value OF
wood ashes as commercial fertilizers
are valued we would have near the
following value per ton for the plant
food given a value in commercial fer
tilizers.
12O pounds of potash sos at. :. 5000
40 pounds of phosphoric acid
sos at ............... 2.0O
$500
The same amount of potash is
found In 200 pounds of sulphate OF
potash and practically the same
amount of phosphoric acid is found in
ESQ pounds Of 16 per cent. acid phos-
plate, 80 ton Of wood ashes Is
worth about the same as fertilizer
250 pounds of good grade acid phos-
plate and 200 pounds of sulphate of
potash.
True the plant food is In a more
available form in the commercial fer
tilizers but the tons of wood ashes
also contains about 700 pounds of
lime which is especially valuable to
the clover and other leguminous
crops
Last winter we put wood ashes
about some apple trees, 25 to 40
pounds was scattered around each
tree, as far around as the branches
reached A marked improvement in
both the trees and the fruit was no
ticed last summer in spite of the I'M
favorable early season.
The wood ashes can be profitably
applied to the garden, the meadow
or in fact almost any crop except
potatoes.
II wood ashes are applied to the
potato crop it produces conditions
favorable to potato scab.
There is not much loss of plant
food when wood ashes are applied to
the soil at any season of the year
since potash and phosphoric acid are
not easily washed out of the soil
The ashes should not be mixed with
the manure or any other heterogeneous
manure as the lime in the ashes may
cause loss of nitrogen
If mixed with acid phosphate the
lime in the ashes will combine with
the phosphoric acid and render it un-
available.
On many farms there is a few hun
dred pounds of ashes produced that
are worth saving and applying to the
soil, then where numbering is carried
on extensively there are tons of wood
ashes produced each year that are
worth hauling for several miles and
applying to the soil.

Almost an Angel.

George AIDE was talking at June
wedding in Chicago about matrimony.
"Matrimony is perhaps a little too
much idealized," he said. These
June brides, radiant under their white
wells in a glitter of June sunshine,
seem capable of changing earth to
heaven, but, as matter of fact, they
are not capable of anything of the
sort
Il am in hearty sympathy with old
Brown, to whom young Black said at
wedding:
"a good wife can make a veritable
angel of a man.
Yes, that's So old Brown agreed.
My wife came near making one of
me with her first batch of dough
nuts"

about the shoe tops and you are up-to

The origin of the rolf is mystery
1t just grew. Since the adoption OF
athletic summer apparel there has
been a need for a method of securing
the hose. This necessity Is directly
responsible for the innovation. A trip
around Chicago. disclosed several va

found favor among the high school
boys. 1t is about three-quarters of an

DAIRY NOTES.

To be sweet and clean it is desir.
able that the COW stable be white
washed at least twice a year.
The separator means the greatest
profit with the least cost in handling
and marketing milk.
Cream that is not delivered prompt
ly should be thoroughly stirred every
time a new lot is added.
The cream from the milkings must
not be kept so long that it will de
velop sharp acid, for that would i'm

TRACTION FLOWING IN WEST
Among Advantages Is Fact That
Work Can Be Rushed When Con-
ditIons Are Favorable.

On the large farms of the great
plains and the ranches of California
traction engines-both steam and
gasoline-are used to an increasing
extent In farming operations, espe-
cially in blowing land. The make
shift outfits formerly used for this
purpose have been largely replaced by
heavier and stronger engines and
gang plows especially designed for
this use.
The advantages of traction blowing
are % that the work can be rushed
when conditions are favorable; (2)
that the work can be done with a
smaller force of hands, and fewer
horses have to be kept; 90 in hot
dry weather engines can be used
when horses could not stand the
work; ca with an engine 1t is posi-
BILE to pillow very difficult soils, and
also to pillow deeper than with horses;
and 90 under favorable conditions,
the cost Of traction blowing has been
brought lower than that of blowing
with horses.
The steam engines weigh from Z
to 20 tons, range from 20 to 80 horse
power, cost from $1,000 to $4,000, and
will pillow from Is to 30 acres a day.
A traction blowing outfit consists
of % an engine; CD the plows or
disks arranged in gangs; and 90
miscellaneous conveniences for car
rying supplies, making repairs, etc
The size and cost of the outfit and
the amount Of work 1t will do depend
largely on the number of plows oper-
ated.

MARKETING Vegetables.

Cut out the middleman when you
market your garden stuff. You can
always get full retail prices and if
selling vegetables is regarded as an
honorable business for the grocer why
not for you? Some farmers seem to
think it beneath their dignity to drive
around town with a load of vegeta-
bles for sale and for the sake of
their pride are willing to sacrifice
their profits to the groceryman.
