SPECIAL FEEDS FOR CROPS.
Kind Of Fertilizer to Use Depends
Laroely on Nature Of Soil,

AS it is not always Practicable to put
bnrnyard on every field either
because Of inaccessihility or the nature
Of the soil. commercial fertilizers will
sometimes have to be applied for spe-
cial crops like potatoes, sugar beets
and tobacco. says Professor A. II.
Whitson of the College of Agriculture
of the University Of Wisconsin.
It must be recognized that the kind
of fertilizer to be applied depends more
on the character of the soil than on
the crop grown. Marsh soils generally
require a great deal Of potash and m
phosphorus. Black prairie silt loan
soils require phosphorus chiefly. while
sandy soils require ali Of the essential
fertilizers.
1t is, as a rule. more economical to
secure nitrogen by growing legumes
than buying it. Where the land is poor
or is acid the application of lime and
about 900 pounds Of acid phosphate
and seventy-tive pounds Of muriate of
potash per acre will cause most fields
to produce a heavy crop of clover. In
sandy soils that have been exhausted
by continued cropping without ferti-
lizers it probably will be necessary to
SOW the clover without a nurse crop.
Then when the clover is turned under
the following spring in preparing for
the special crop a second application
Of phosphate and potash fertilizers al
the same rate will put the soil in 8
good state Of fertility.
Commercial nitrogen fertilizers
should be used for growing garden
crops on high priced land, but not usu
ally for staple truck crops.

SLUG the Little Brown SLUG.

The little brown slug that defoliates
the pear. plum and cherry trees dur
ing the summer season is one Of the
easiest Of our insects to control. No
one need allow this insect to do any
serious harm to his trees if he will
thoroughly use the remedy here given.
Steep one ounce of fresh white helle-
bore in n gallon Of water and use as
a spray when the slugs are first seen.
Stir the mixture often. or. better yet,
have an agitator attachment on the
pump. Sometimes there is q second
brood Of the slugs, necessitating a sec
ond spraying.-Farm Journal.

a means Of getting rid of his rival. He
sent for Gumbo to come to his rooms.
"Gumbo," he said, would you like
your freedom?"
Yes, massa."
"And $1,000 BESIDES"
"Yes, massa." Gumbo's eyes were
as big as saucers.
Very we'll. Tonight Captain Pen:

At II o'clock Pennington, who had

the plantation gate feeling very happy.
He had not gone far before he overlook

ground.

there was a witness to prove he was
innocent Of Grimshaw's death. which
was explained. though it was be.

Grimshaw left no heir. and it was

PROPER CALF FEEDING.

It For Six Months.

old if it is yrowthy and otherwise in
good condition.
With plenty of grain AMI good al
falfa hay the calf will do vol. but care
should he taken ut the beginning not
to feed too much alfalfa hay, for it is
likely to cause the calves to scour. 1t
may be said that it is better to feed
skimnilk for at least six months or
longer when there is an abundance.
Professor Fraser of the Illinois ex-
pertinent station found hat calves
could be successfully raised on 15l
pounds Of whole milk and 400 pounds
Of skimmilk. This milk was fed at the
rate of ten pounds per day until the

THE PLANTATION
SHARPSHOOTER

-N the days Of slavery in the south
ern states Il young negro was
one evening, after a hard days
hoeing, enjoying the recreation
Of practicing with all old pistol that
he had found and polished. Gumbo,
as he was called, had a passion for
shooting and was III expert. Within
a circle of admiring darkies he was
tossing up chips and putting bullets
through them while in the air. Am
brose G%rimshaw. the Overseer, hearing
the shots, went to see what 1t meant.
From behind II Of the cabins he wit
messed Gumbo's skill without being
himself seen. Then, advancing, he or
dered that the boy receive fifty lashes
for having firearms in his possession.
Gumbo bore his punishment with pa
tent endurance. 1t was a common oc-
currence on that especial plantation,
owing to the cruel nature of the over
seer. The negro showed no vindlctlve-
ness and was always atterWard ODE
| dent, even to servillty.
Prochet, the owner Of the plantation.
was an easy going man. with no head
for business, while Grimshaw was as
avaricious rs he was cruel. One day
Prochet discovered that all he possess
ed was about to pass to his overseer.
Grimshaw was above his class IN
breeding and education. Indeed, he
was fairly we'll born. Prochet conceiv-
ed the idea Of marrying his daughter
L. r:->cl,,, On condition thof tho
property be settled on him. Miss Pro
Chef objected, especially since while on
a visit to st. Augustine she had met a
young officer of the United States ar
my at Fort Marion. with whom she had
fallen in love and who had asked her
hand. But vhen her father told her
that q marriage with Grimshaw was
the only way t save the plantation she
resolved to sacrifice herself for her ia
Their. whom she loved devotedly.
The war came on. and while PrOchet
became poorer Grimshaw grew richer
