Nitrate Of Soda on Old Meadows.

On an old meadow which has
not been properly fortified a top
dressing of nitrate of soda is al
most certain to show very marked
results. The farmer is likely to
be so enthusiastic over the show
ing made that he at once con-
cIudes that nitrogen is the one
factor needed to make his hay
crop a profitable one. Right here
lies the danger. While the first
applications of nitrate of soda
may show these marked results,
it is not by any means safe to
conclude that nitrogen is the only
element of fertility needed. Re-
peated applications of nitrate of
soda may soon result in no APP
parent benefit and even result in
a final condition worse than the
original condition. The first ap-
plication of nitrate of soda shows
such marked results because
there is amarked deficiency of nj
trogen in the soil; but there is not
sufficient of the other fertilizing
elements, particularly phosphor-
US and potassium, to balance the
nitrogen used. The increased
crop yields from the use of nj
trate of soda make an increased
drain upon the available phos-
phorus and potassium of the soil.
No effort being made to replace
these elements thus removed, the
time very soon comes when no
response is received from the APP
plication of nitrate of soda be-
cause the phosphoric acid and
potash have been depleted, or, in
other words, are the limiting fac
tors. AS a rule, where nitrate
soda is used as a fertilizer it is
a safe principle to use in connec-
ton with it some form of phos-
phorus and potassium, having in
mind permanent results rather
than a temporary increase due to
the nitrate of soda.

Game Prospects.

Asthe hunting season approach
es, interest in game prospects in
creases. In this immediate vi
cinity, quail are very scarce, as
the heavy SHOWS of last winter
killed them. 1t will be recalled
that while the larger part of
Fulton county was covered with
deep SHOWS, surrounding terri
tory was almost free of snow.
Even large feathered game like
wild turkeys starved in this coun-
ty last winter. From reports
from over the County we think
that there is about the usual
number Of squirrels. Rabbits
are reported plenty. Pheasants
have not been plenty in the coun-
ty for a number of years, but
there are probably as many as
usual. With the exception of
quail, game including deer
will probably be as plenty Tor as
scarce as hunters have been ac-
customed to find it during the
past few years.

YOUTH AND OLD AGE.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by
Samuel G. Dixon, NJ. D., Ii. D.,
Commissioner Health.

Between youth and old age
there is a never ending conflict.
Vitality is continually pitted
against experience and some
times victory falls TO the one,
and again, to the other.
Among the greatest names in
history we find side by side those
of youth and old age. Men who
have lived temperate lives and
have escaped the aggravating in
firmities Of age, are often more
than a match for youth in mental
endurance.
The health and efficiency of an
elderly man depends largely upon
his mental attitude. The man
who begins to look over his shoul-
der at fifty will be stumbling
through life at sixty, while the
one who is continually looking
ahead and seeking intellectual
advancement, will continue to
increase in mental capacity. The
brains power grows long after
the maximum ofphysical strength
has been reached.
For the man of advanced years,
simple diet and regularity of
habits are essential. The ply
Biological processes are less ac-
tive, and many structures lack
the elasticity of youth and should
not be subjected to undue strain.
Tolerant age is more that a
match for intolerant youth and
the mental poise which should
come with advancing years has a
decided bearing on the physical
well-being and mental power.
The nfrmities of age are oft
en- less of a handicap to the ac-
complishment of serious and eff
fective work than the erratic
vitality of youth.

tourist could be seen doing what
they could to carry their own bag
gage, only to find that there was
no way of getting it transported

and trunks on the streets, never
more to see them again.
