Luncheon Party That Just

Some years ago while a French
mnn-of-war was lying at anchor In
Temple bay a number of the younger
officers conceived the idea of amusing
themselves with an iceberg a mile or
80 distant In the straits. They decided
to have a luncheon party at the very
top OF It.
II was bright summer morning.
and the jolly boat with flag went off
to the berg. BY IL o'clock the colors
were fying from the top OF the big
chunk OF ice, and the midshipmen were
reyeling thereon For two hours or
more they hacked and clambered over

solid Ice. When. like thoughtless chill
dred. the young men played them
selves weary they descended to
their cockle-shell of boat and rowed
away
As If time and distance had been
measured for the very purpose OF per
hitting the young men to view the
scene in safety. the great berg lay ST.
lent until the boat was a certain dis
lance on. Then. as II its heart had
been volcanic IRE, 1t burst with awful
thunder and nlled the surrounding
water with its ruins. Awed and sub

death, the picnicksrs returned to their

Pretty Rider With Ringing Bros Cir
Gus and Her Favorits Horse.

SnsSOG WIN bS"sS''o osOSs ~
Gus and Her Favorits Horse.
Ringing Bros circus and the newly
added spectacle, Joan Of Arc" will
be seen in Marshalltown next Thurs
day, Aug. Is. The spectacle in itself
| is a wonderful attraction, worthy OF
special trains, excursions, and all the
elaborate preparations usual to the
coming tented show. 1t will prove a
great surprise to those who attend, as
nothing like it was ever seen here be-
fore.
The railroads are preparing to bring
thousands from afar and the city itself
will turn out generously, is it always
does, when these five brothers bring
their splendid organization to towa.
News from other points regarding the
wonderful growth of the show during
the last year is stimulating interest IN
it's coming. New York City says it is
the greatest show that ever entered
Madison Square Garden. Its new street
parade is called world-beater.
The advance brigade of the circus is
expected in the city hourly to make
final preparations for the coming Of the
five trains with their burden Of Won
ders All provisions for the days stay
will be bought in the local markets.
John Nevin and William Carr, the
| twenty four-hou-' men. will lay out
the parade route with the assistance
of the city authorities. The parade will
leave the grounds at 10 o'clock in the
forenoon. There are three miles OF IT.
Arrangements have also been made
for a downtown ticket office In the
Old Reliable Drug Company store.
Those who wish to avoid the crowds
on the grounds will find this a con-
venient place to buy reserved seats and
admissions. Prices will be the same
as at the regular ticket wagons.
There will be two performances here.
The afternoon show Will begin at
O'Clock. The night show will begin at
hour earlier for an inspection Of the
visit to the great circus means:
First Of all the most remarkable pa
rade ever devised by a circus. then
the new menagerie, followed by the
regular circus program. which has an
unusual beginning with the great spec
tacle. The performances proper Is Allied
with thrills, novelty and laughter.
There are scores OF top liners among
the acrobats. aerialists, fEymnasts, rid
ers and specialists. and the clowns,
ffty in number, are no ordinary bunch
of ib-ticklers. In the spectacle OF
Joan Of Arc" alone will be seen 1900
characters. a ballet Of 800 dancing
girls, 400 choristers. 500 horses. and a
trainload Of special scenery, costumes
,pd stage DrODertieS.

Gathering and Using Waste Fertility
BY 4. B. RUSHING.

Today the subject Of procuring supply of
manure is concerning the minds of a great
many farmers. This has given me much wor-
ry at times and Is only mastered by hard Ia
Dor and study.
Perhaps. however. l have not secured my
manure all in the same way as most gardeners
do. True. all farmers and gardeners cannot
secure a great amount of their manure as !
have secured much Of mine.
In the first place l have tried to make as
much manure ON my farm as possible and also
tried to save as near all Of It as possible. Also
have made practice of always having some
green growth to turn under at different times
and derived much benefit from it.
But much of my farm fertility has come
from a Is wood land which ] several
years ago purchased from a neighbor. This
land is rough and stony.
The timber is worth very little except to
keep the land shaded and shed foliage to rot.
The rock on the land is of a gravey nature
and when 1t rains seems to dissolve somewhat
and when mixed with the rich dirt and my
farm soil. seems to make an ideal soil.
Here in my country there is much land that
is of this type and fit for nothing practically.
or at least cannot be cultivated.
bought this piece of land ten years ago and
/ have hauled a great number of loads Of rich
ulIl anu ShHu mlAeu every year anu StlI nave
1t seems, as much to haul as when l first
bought 1t.
gave 800 FOR the Is acres at first and
have received that much back every year In
fertility.
However. l do not try to cover my entire
farm every year. but rather select few acres
and have some green crop to turn under and
apply about 20 loads of this fertility per acre.
with only few loads of barn-yard manure say
about four or five. This is not done to the
