Fertilizer for Sweet Potatoes.

Sweet potatoes need fertilizer
comparatively high in nitrogen and
very high in potash and a medium
amount of phosphoric acid. The
following mixture which has been
found excellent at the Georgia ex-
pertinent station, and one which has
given us entire satisfaction, is good
one: IA per cent acid phosphate,
1000; 7 per cent cottonseed meal,
$50 pounds; nitrate of soda, $50
pounds; muriate of potash. 300
pounds. This mixture will analyze
approximately 1877. Of course,
different ingredients may be used
containing this formula, but the
above mentioned material has given
us entire satisfaction, and we be-
lieye that it is one of the best all
around fertilizers for sweet p otatoes
that can be found, and haye no hest
tation in recomme nding that you use
this formula. Wood ashes are also
good for this crop, and the we'll
rotted chip manure from the wood
pile will be found excellent.-South-

CentenarianS.

Statistics gathered by the pains
taking Germans state that there
were in Europe, at the last count,
more than 1000 persons over CEN
tury old. The richer the country,
apparently, the fewer persons at
tain extreme old age. Bulgaria
heads the list with 1888 certenari-
ans, with its neighbors, Roumania
and Servia, next with 1,704 and 573.
Spain had 40 and France 213; no
other country had over 200; Eng
land had only 90 and the three Scan
dinavian states were at the bottom
of the list, Denmark having only 2.

century, are the most likely place IN

There was an interesting bit of ro-
nance connected with the first mar
riage of ]. P. Morgan. He was in love
with Amelia Sturgis of New York.
He had as rival young man of
wealth and station, who regarded
young Morgan with a contempt that
he did not attempt to conceal Nor
gan ignored the sneers of his rival,
persisted in his courtship, and married
Miss Sturgis. 1t is said that none of
the many victories he won in the finan-
cial world subsequently ever gave him
an iota of the pleasure afforded by
the memory of this first one.
Couldn't Win Health for Bride
There was pathos as well as happi-
ness in this romance, however, for
Miss Sturgis was dying of tuberculosis
Mr.. Morgan said that he would take
his bride to all parts of the world, if
necessary, to restore her health. He
was as good as his word. He aban-
doned his business and they set out in
search of health. It was all in vain,
however, and the young wife died the
following year. Mr.. Morgan returned
to New York and again plunged into
business.
His only recreation was a morning
horseback ride. 1t was three years
later that he married Miss Frances
Tracy, the mother of John Pierpont,
Jr., and the three daughters of the
family.
Morgan and His Profession

aptitude for mathematics which was

LIFE OF ST. PAUL AUTHORIZES ANNE
WARNER. COMES TO TRAGIC ENDING

A friend of the late Anne Warner
is just in receipt of a personal letter
from Mrs. William P Warner, written
from Marnhull, England, giving de-
tails concerning the death there on
February 3 of her daughter. The
tragic facts contained in the letter
cannot but be of interest to the many
readers of "Susan Clegg," "The Re-
juvenation of Aunt Mary" etc.
In order better to appreciate the
tragic recital it may be said that this
friend wrote Mrs. French (Anne War
ner) last Feburary-1912- and in her
answer she spoke of her son, Charles
Elinge French, in school at Columbia
College. After a little delay the
friend wrote the lad letter asking him
to visit him. A letter came in reply
from ST. Paul-Anne Warmers family
home-saying that "the windy and
damp cold of New York" got hold Of
him after New Years and "began to

the end of March sent me home. Since
then l have been trying to get back
my usual health and strength, which
will occupy me until the middle of
summer"
On reading the cabled news of Mrs.
French's death the friend at once
wrote her son. In response he has re-
ceived this letter from the boys
GRANDMOTHER a month later.
"Your letter to my grandson lets
me know that the news of his death
too has never reached you. l must
make this Letter rather personal to let
you know the sorrow that has come to
US so steadily. All summer we in St.
Paul did all that could be done to keep
the life of Anne's boy for her. She

at is time for US to conserve other
things besides public lands. More vital
is the immediate question of food. The

Frederick r. Burrows, manager of
the Nationtl Packing company, made
the following comment on the meat
shortage:
1.-The people must economic on the
amount of meat they consume. We are
becoming a nation of meat eaters
There is no question that the ma
ton faces a serious problem in the
shortage of meats. The receipts have
been gradually decreasing for several
years. Cheap meat has disappeared
from the market"

Price of Beef High
and Will Remain So

There is no hope for materially low
er prices of meats in the near future.
Such is the statement given out by
Arthur G.. Leonard, president of the
Union Stock Yards company at Chi
cago. Mr.. Leonard says that the
shortage of meat has gradually been
increasing during the last six or seven
years, and it will be at least that long
before, by careful work, the industry
may be built up. Even then the in
crease of population will have a coun-
teracting effect and the same condi-
tons may exist
Mr.. Leonard's statement follows a
telegram of inquiry addressed to him
by Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the
National Housewives league, at New
York. Mrs. Heath says that the re-
tailers state that they are unable to
account for the sudden jump. "The
league" she says, awaits your ans
wer before going further"
Mr.. Leonard answered the telegram
with another, as follows:
Replying to your telegram, the re-
ceipts of the market for the year to
date as compared with the correspond
ing period of 1912 show a decrease of
646, 900 meat animals, amounting to a
shortage of 100000, 600 pounds for the
period. think this fully answers the
question
Commenting on the matter, Mr..
Leonard said to Chicago newspaper
correspondent:
within only the last year there has
been decrease of one pound of meat

her daughter, now II, would be at

expected her son to spend the summer

September her boy died. In mind he
was brilliant, like his mother, and in
build he was tall, slender and DIRK, like
his father; striking personality. His
father was i'll at the time and a month
later laid the father by the son.
Two weeks ago, before my son and

window and called the maid to watch
bird pecking at it. About ten min
utes later the maid, returning, found
that she had sunk down unconscious
and she only breathed for an hour.
The doctors tried all that could be done
but it was severe hemorrhage of the
brain.
"a letter written to me by her one
week before her death told me to ex-
pect cable announcing her fathers
death at any hour. He had been un-
conscious for weeks. Then Anne
wrote. I can make my plans and we
will all try to make future. But |

MORGAN HAD HUMAN SIDE AS WELL
AS A VERY KEENEST BUSINESS SENSE

very pleasing to his old German pro-
fessor in Gottingen. When he was
about to leave college the professor
urged him to remain and pursue his
studies farther. Years later, when
Mr.. Morgan had made many millions
in business, he returned to Germany
and visited the professor. The old
man welcomed him cordially, but shook
his head sadly when told what his ia
vorite pupil had been doing, and said:
"You should have followed my adj
vice and stayed here. Had you done
so, / would have made you my assist
ant, and, when | died, you would un-
doubtedly have succeeded to the chair
of mathematics"
His Devotion to Birds
Mr.. Morgan was very fond of birds
and animals. He especially loved song
birds, and had all of his houses full of
them. Their singing frequently inter
rupted important business conferences
at his home. The financier gave much
personal attention to his pets. It is
said that the singing of birds was the
only music for which he cared and his
favorite recreation was to watch the
romping of the dogs at his country
place.
A story is told of one canary in his
London house which became so much
attached to him that when he left, it
pined away and died. The J. P. Nor
gan, at home among his pets, was a
very different man from the one the
business men encountered in his town
, Office.
