Getting Things Naturally
By Strickland Gillian.

secluded. There are some wild rasp-
berry bushes-at least, you hope they are
tame enough only to let you approach
them-in full leaf, with some berries al
hicle, grab the things near the roots
carefully selecting a thornless spot or de-
thorning a hand hold-and pull. The
things fetch loose with lot of broken
roots You sling them into the back of
the car. crank up, and go on.
You set them out by jabbing a spade
into your diminutive hillside. opening a
crevice, slipping in the stolen plants, and
giving them q kick. Late that evening
you water them, either by going and
crack or by some more natural and intel
iigent method, and behold. not leaf dies
on single plant. The lead pencils the
nurseryman sold you are long since wiped
out by the man with the lawn mower,
only the spots where they were carefully
planted being traceable.
Also, II you want to buy an evergreen.
you are told that you are wrong In the
season. The time to buy evergreens is
in the late fall, when the sap is in the
basement for the winter. If you buy one
then or at any other time plant it accord
ing to our old friend Hoyle and water and
nurse 1t and sit up with it, and 1t will die
like poisoned rat and you will weep over
1t In vain.
IT, however. you take your car or your
buggy or your legs off to some seques-
tered spot in the woods at night, swipe an
evergreen that had looked good to you
on reconnoitering trip hurry home with
1t and shove it into a hole dug after night.
with the aid of a trowel or the bread
knife, it will grow and flourish from that
time forth and forevermore. It won't
make any difference what time or year
you do it, either.
Another thing-it always rains heavily
and soakingiy after you have stolen some
vegetation There is always a prolonged
and rt-sickening drought after you've
bought shrubbery.
Why, ask. why?
So there must be something in this
natural way" theory. I also feel tnat
know, after years Of comparative ex-
periments, what the old poets meant
about the benefit of stealing in''-or was
it into" ?-the heart Of nature for our
richest blessings.

You know the story of the colored man
who said he was divinely instructed to
go get a turkey in the natural way!
Well
moral isn't bad. or. rather: that no bad
applica ton Of it will be made.
For instance / wish somebody pent on

tell me the exact chemical reiatlon. asloe

petty larceny and plant life.
Take a tree-well, that's what | really
mean, but not just that way. l mean
to say, consider the case OF tree or
shrub. You go to nurseryman ana ASK
him. about the middle Of April or early
in Nav. what about raspberry pusnes
That is natural, for nobody ever thinks OF
any kind of shrubbery until time Tor tnat
shrubbery to be showing in his garden.
Then he notices that it Is ready to bloom
or bear for his neighbor and that he
hasn't any. :.
The nurseryman shakes his head. 1t is
getting a little far along, he rears. me
things are springing into leaf now Inat
is mighty dangerous time to plant. But
he'll try-hero that he Is, martyr TO the

So he bundles up some lead penclls,
labels them "raspberries. charges you

them looks askance at the ieao penclIs
and at you. He thinks the things are
dead and that you are one ne WIN nhadu .ns, whe he
naSs ont good money for the purchase

positive that chair rungs could be planted
and would raise crop of parlors Just as
soon as those things will grow and nave
raspberries on them.
He is right. The plants are really some
field runners that have inadvertently
taken root, and when they are transplant

Volcanic Potash.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.

The discovery Of potash deposits in
various localities is a matter Of the ut
most interest TO the agriculture OF this
nation. The time is past when farming
can be conducted on the wasteful plan OF
moving to new soil when the old has
been robbed to infertility. The farmer
must either replace or anticipate the fer
tility which each crop takes out unless
he wishes to repeat the futility Of living
on his capital because It is inconvenient
to live on the interest
The vital elements Of fertility are fur
nished by phosphoric acid, nitrogen and
potash. OF phosphoric acid the United
States has q varied supply and IL is COM
paratively cheap. Nitrogen also comes In
varied form. and by skillful resort to the
raising of legumes can be derived from
the air without cost. But potash is tho
article Of slight supply. and therefore OF
very high cost.
Heretofore the United States has OBJ
tanned the bulk of its potash supply from
the German deposits. But as the Ger
mans show q desire to extract the last
cent. even to the degree Of repudiattng
contracts, the prospect Of economical pro-
ductton is quite poor. Hardwood ashes.
another source of supply. only accelerate
the disappearance OF the forests. So that
the discovery of potash in the lava Gin
ders of extinct Hawaiian VOLCANOES is, IL
fully verified, Of the utmost importance.
