Mrs. Lockwood. In her letter, says:
Unlike Hamlet.
THE peace banquet at Niagara Falls

success. but was like the play Of Ham

word was said about the Fourth.

guished Canadians and distinguished
Americans, representing the boards of
trade on both sides of the wonderful
falls.
About 500 persons sat down to the
banquet tables In the large dining room

knees and graceful plaid cloaks thrown
coquettishly over their shoulders, and
the Seventy-fourth Regiment Band, of
Buffalo, brimful of patriotism, but not
daring to strike up Yankee Doodle"
or Dixie" sat blended in one complete
square. with the roaring Niagara Just
beyond. singing harmony and peace
forever"
About 1000 more persons were on ana
around the veranda which encircles the
hotel. and which was bordered entirely
around, as was the dining-room within.

Last week, the Audubon County
Farmer swore by the pearl buttons
on Lena's waist that he would
tell Journals readers this week
how to break young mule, but
now he has to put it off again I'M
til next week. This week it 5 net

got word Monday to hold that arti-
Gle until next week. Somehow the
news leaked out and a bunch of
horsemen outside of this state want
to round up and have next week S
issue of the Journal addressed to
the circle. 1t takes week to
round them up and so III have to
wait. You know there are sixteen
ways to break a mule, but these
cowboys want the Audubon County
way. 1t is strange how Audubon
County is tickling the world under
the chin nowadays, and putting as
much in its big, old head. First
thing you know / will be getting
letters from Paris, asking how to
peel onions or bite off chew.
While we are on the Audubon
County subject let me tell you
another thing; next year, or in
about ten months there will be an
invention pulled off at the county
seat that will put all airship men
in a pickle. jar and seal them up.
This invention has nothing to do
with airships, but is for the benefit
of the farmers. The Amdu bon Coun-
lty Farmer has nothing to do with
| it; he is only the advertising agent
|. 1T; he is only the advertising NAM
ager. The invention will be by his
| neighbor, Ben, who is now losing
sleep at the rate of two feet a min
ute, and scratching his head so in
his dreams that his wife inaginrs
the house is being gnawed down 10y
beavers. Ben has already scratched
his head so much that the finger
nails on his right hand are now fer
| ty penny instead of ten penny, and
the grooves wore in his Uranium are
so deep that the hair Oh the ridgt
and those in the valley make it lool
like rolling prairie when you gaze
at him across tha tdbin. But Rer

one when it comes to making loans.
Ben got his So cents and went TO
his home happy, yet not any happier
than the Audubon County Farmer
Il know Ben has good thing
and will give him a quarter more
if he needs it. But l guess by this
time journal readers are anxious
to know what Ben has UP his
sleeve. No secrets about it, so
will tell It's the most wonderful
invention west of the sun-makes
farm life as easy as sitting in
rocking chair and counting the
hairs on the end of your nose. You
see Ben is getting out pair OF
specs will be dark green, and when
! horses and hogs, and maybe for
chickens The glasses in these
specs will be dark green, and when
a COW wears them in winter you can
feed her old copies of the Journal
and she will think she is eating
fresh cabbage leaves (if you rub
the paper over sauer kraut to give
it flavor You can feed her straw
and she will kick UP her heels and
sing ''Oh you good alfalfa!' You
can feed her dry hay and her ston--
ach will feel so full of green grass
that the milk win flow like the
gullies in summer time, and bran
and ship stuff can go to glory. You
can drive the cattle out in the
deepest snow and when they look
at it through the green glasses
they will think they got into a
patch of rye or wheat, and jump
around so for joy that all the snow
will be kicked to Kingdom Come.
They will also eat the snow for
grass, and since milk is 80 percent
water, Ben thinks that two cows
grazing out on patch of snow will
give more milk than ten out on
the clover in summer And don't
Ben's views look right? These
glasses will be fine for cattle that
get snowbound on the plains in the
winter. They can't freeze to deatk
no matter how deep the snow, be-
cause they will eat so much of it
for grass, and will give so much
milk from it, that each COW viii
get the milk fever and heat up the
whole flock. It's great. Keep
your eyes on this paper and see
when the foundation of Ber's spec
tacle factory will be laid, and in
the meantime take the measurement
of your cows nose. More about
this later Mule talk next week.

Top-DreSSinQ.

Results obtained at the South Caro-
lima Experiment Station show that
top-dressing with nitrate of soda gives
good results on cotton, corn and small
grains. The increase is most marked
during a wet year because this nitro
gen is already in an Immediately avail
able form, while the rotting of the Or
ganic sources does not proceed as rap
idly as usual on account of the excess
of moisture in the soil. The amount to
apply per acre varies according to the
fertility of the soil and the previous
fertilization, but we would suggest
from fifty pounds per acre on poor
land up, according to the fertility of the
soil.
Early applications are coming into
favor. We recommend that the soda
be applied to corn when it is between
knee and waist high, to cotton just as
the shapes begin to form, and to small
grain in March. Care should be taken
not to SOW nitrate of soda Oh wet
plants, because it is likely to scald
them. 1t is best to apply 1t just after
a rain when the moisture has dried off
the leaves Of the plants, then cultivate
with a mulch forming implement as
soon as the ground is dry enough to
plow.
