Spring Use Of Fertilizer.

elCner means CndC you are WdSI
ing money for plant food that is
not needed, or limiting the crop
by not supplying plant food that
is needed.
The best clover in the 32-year-
old fertilizer experiments at State
College is where they have ap-
piled equal quantities of phos-
phoric acid and potash. Where
they have added nitrogen it has
always over-stimulated the timo-
thy at the expense of the clover,
without helping the wheat any.
The best results in fertilizing
permanent meadow and pasture
have been where about equal
quantities of nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash have been appli-
ed early in the spring, broadcast.
A complete fertilizer, not too
strong in nitrogen, also helps
oats and barley; and for potatoes
larger proportion of nitrogen
will pay, as also with corn.
A very simple basis for work
ing out home mixtures is furnish
ed from the following table
2 bushels nitrate of soda furnish
es "a! lbs. available nitrogen.
167 ID. sack 16 per cent. phos-
phate furnishes 263 lbs. avail
able phosphoric acid.
/! bushel muriate of potash furn-
ishes 25 lbs. actual potash.
For permanent grass keep the
proportions shown in the table
and apply from $50 to $50 lbs.
per acre.
For clover, alfalfa, soy beans,
vetch &C., omit the nitrate, but
inoculate the seed. incubation
furnishes all needed nitrogen.
For potatoes use from l bush
ell to 1t bushel of nitrate with the
sack of phosphate and the J bush
ell Of potash salts, but in this case
use the higher priced sulphate Of
potash. 1t is much more effec.
tive.
For corn, cut down the nitrate
to I bushel using the quantities
shown of phosphate and muriate.
For oats and barley use J bush
ell nitrate, the sack of phosphate
and l peck of muriate.
These home mixtures are more
concentrated than the commerce.
al brands. The following guam
titles may be used for the sever
al crops.
For clover, alfalfa &C., from
$50 to 800 lbs. per acre. For po-
tatoes from 200 to 500 lbs. per
acre. For corn from 200 to 300
lbs. per acre, using larger guam
titles if you sow cover crops.
For oats and barley from $50 to
250 lbs. per acre.
The work of mixing can be
done on the barn floor or in the
wagon box in the field, using a
rake and shovel. AS soon as the
colors blend the mixing is done.
The slight irregularities in mix
ing are quickly corrected in the
soil as the material dissolves and
spreads itself in the movement
of soil water.
Home mixing saves a large
part of the fertilizer bill and
makes it certain that you are u.s.
ing only the highest grade fer
tilizer materials money can buy,
and which are certain to give you
the results you seek.

Mrs. Souders died several years
ago. He is also survived by 27
grandchildren, and s great-grand-
children.
Mr.. Souders did not possess
much book learning" but he
was a man of sound judgment,
industrious and frugal, and hon
est as steel; so that with his
passing asay, Tod township has
lost one of her best citizens.
ANNA BELLE NORRIS.
AS sweetly as a child falls
asleep in its mothers arms, Mrs.
Anna Belle Norris passed to the
other world Sunday, February l,
1914, Mrs Norris was the daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Hoop
engardner of Union township;
born September Is, 1876, hence
aged 81 years, A months, and 13
days.
Mrs. Norris joined the Buck
Valley Christian church at an
early age, at meeting conduct
ed by her pastor Rev. A. R. Gar
land. She also went with him
down into the waters of Baptism;
and when she stood before the
altar Of matrimony, Rev. Garland
was present to utter the words
which made her the wife of
Frederick j. Norris, on May %,
1902. To this union were born
four children.
The funeral was held Wednes-
day, February lth at Buck Valley
Christian church, Rev. Garland
officiating, and her body was laid
to rest in the cemetery adjoining
the church, within a few feet of
her deceased brother, who de-
parted this life in July. Amid a
large concourse of sorrow ing
friends she was laid beneath
those crumbling stones to await
the coming of Christ. A beau
tiful character was Anna Belle.
Her life was an exemplary one,
which any one could safely fol-
low.
Before she breathed the breath
of the spirit world, she saw a
vision of the Glory Land. She
said, "above my mothers head,
can see two beautiful lights. "
She gave us the evidence that it
was a grand place to see. This
sad event has cast a gloom of
sorrow over the whole neighbor-
hood, as she was always known
to be a friend of every body that
knew her. She was always ready
to lend a helping hand, for any
assistance which she could rem
der. To her husband she was a
kind and faithful wife. Never
disloyal to her household duties,
she performed her work so care
fully and thoughtfully that when
she was through with a task,
nothing remained to be done. In
all her social life, she demonstrate
ed the heroism of a true Christ
ian lady. Her near ne!ghbors
say: her hospitality shall
never be forgotten, and we shall
greatly miss her. p" She is sur
vived by husband, four chill
dren q father and mother. one
brother, and four sisters, name
ly: John E. Hoopengardner,
Hancock, Nd; Mrs. L. W. Metz,
Cumberland, Md; Mrs. James
Stottlemyer, Orleans, Md; Mrs.
E. C. Stoner, Harrisburg; and
Miss Jessie, a teacher in Union
township, at home. The hus-
band has lost his best friend; the
sorrowing children, a kind moth
er; father and mother a precious
child, and brother and sisters a
loving companion.
In the legacy of fair name
and the sweet memory of a real
sisters life, she has left them
something for better than silver
and gold.

church. Rev Logue spoke Of the
christian character of the deceas-
ed and the esteem in which she
was held in tn e community,
choosing as a text: She has
fought a good fight. She has
kept the faith. She has finished
her course" A very impressive
sermon was delivered to a large
concourse of sorrowing friends,
who came to pay their last re-
spects to this beautiful character,
whose life was an'example to
those around her. At the age of
Is, she became a member of the
church and remained a faithful
and devoted member to the end
of her life. Mrs. Barney was a
friend to all who knew her. The
faith of her life is as a shining
light, that shineth more and more
unto the perfect day.
The life of this good woman, is
the only evidence that, need to
believe that her death was the
entrance to the heavenly man.

were: Meet me in Heaven.
She is survived by four sons
and two daughters, namely, An

Mercersburg pike. She was mar
ried to James w. Rummel in
Mercersburg, October 27, 1864,
by Rev. j. G. Brown. Soon af-
ter their marriage, during the
pastorate of Rev. Milestone, she
united with st. Paul's Ev. Luth-
eran church in this place, and
from that time until failing health
prevented, whoever else went or
didn't go, Aunt Lizzie" was al
ways in her place in church for
the preaching services, the Sun
day school, and the prayermeet-
ing. In her daily life, and in her
intercourse with her neighbors,

that Name that was dearer to
her than all else besides.

band, one child-Emma, wife of
Ralph Reed, and by two grand
children, one of whom Miss Muir
nie, has lived in the home of her

On the 18th day of November,

that time until the day of his
death, a period of almost fifteen
months, he was practically help
