Entertained by Mr.. and Mrs. HamIll.
Mr.. and Mrs. L. A. Hamill have
been entertaining Mrs. Hamills sis
ter and her husband, Mr.. and Mrs. j..
Walter McSpadden, of Montclair, New
Jersey. Mrs. McSpadden has many
friends here since this was her girl
hood home and because Of this fact
keokuk people are specially inter-
Iested in Mr.. McSpadden's literary
work. For ten years he was connect
ed with Thomas T. Crowell & &c.,
publishers In New York. For the last
two years he has been with the Collier
Publishing Co. Notable among his
books are, Famous Paintings of Amer
lea, The Land Of Nod. Opera Synopses,
Stories from Chaucer, Stories from
Dickens, Stories from Wagner, Robin
Hood, Shakespearean Synopses, Synop-
ses of Dickens Novels, and Waverly
Synopses. The stories from Chaucer
Wagner and Dickens are intended for
children but make delightful reading
for grown up people as well-the style
is most pleasing. The Opera Synop-
ses are written for busy people who
haven't time to study the stories of
the various Grand Operas. Mr.. Nc
Spadden translated the operas from
the original and then put the story
into concise form SO that the reader
gets clear idea of the opera. The
last book Mr.. McSpadden has gotten
out for Golfers is an Official Digest
of the World for 1912, it is an Amer
lean stateman's year book. The book
is a supplement to all encyclopedias
and is most comprehensive work.
Aside from the books he has publish
ed Mr.. McSpadden has done great
deal of other literary work, having
written many introductions for edi-
tions of standard works such as Hugo,
Balzac and Dumas His books give
evidence of his being a man of I'M
usual literary ability In the autumn
he will open his own Office in New
York and so widen his field Of literary
work

FERTILIZERS FOR BARLEY.

Don't think what you have received
from your grain is all profit until you
consider what you have taken from
the land
A yield of barley of 40 bushels per
acre removes approximately so
pounds nitrogen, 81 pounds phosphor-
&c acid and SO pounds Of potash per
acre. The nitrogen increases the ra-
pidity and quality of growth; the
phosphoric acid. which is Immediately
available, increases the formation Of
plant cells and hastens the ripening
CT the cereal and the potash increases
the starch of the cereal AZ we'll as
materially strengthening the straw.
Some plan must be adopted Of re-
storing these elements to the soil. II
Is Q mere matter of arithmetic to
know Just what your profit may be
after you have included your cost OF
fertilization. Don't forget this item
in your bookkeeping with each field
A little attention to soil building will
prove to be your best and most per
manent investment.
