THE LITTLE
PAY
BY c. c. B0WsFIELD

Heavy soil underlaid with porous. sub.
soil or sandy soil undertake with non
porous subson Is the proper combina,
ton.
Taking the great run Of soils the
country over, phosphorus, calcium and
humus are. tho only materials neces'
sary to add to them.
Calcium is supplied best In form of
ground limestone; phosphorus In the
form of basic Stag phosphate or phos-
phate rock; the humus by, the green
manures, grasses and farm manure.
Here are some Of the crop require
ments:
Grains.-Nitrogen, phosphorus.
Potatoes.-Nitrogen.
Sugar Beets.--Nitrogen, phosphorus,
calcium, potassium.
Peas, Clover, Alfalfa.-Calcium, phos-
phorus, potassium.
Beans.-Pbosphorus, potassium, cal
cium.
Soils which hold moisture do not lack
nitrogen. The diier soil may be, as
a rule, the greater Is the lack Of nitro
gen.
The dry soil remains poor in humus
In moist spots the soil is darker and
humus content increased.
The heavy clay soils require heavier
dressing Of phosphorus and lighter
dressing of nitrogen, while on the dry
soil the reverse Is true. Wet, cold
soils are for the most part poor In
potassium.
With few plain principles like these
before them farmers ought to be able
to 80 forward and increase production
on their land so to 100 per cent. Plans
Of crop rotation should bring wheat
after corn, clover after wheat Zone or
two years. and potatoes after clover.
Cowpeas, sugar beets, turnips and
similar crops ought to have a place in
the rotative scheme.

MRS. WILLIAM sULzER.

When asked just before she went to
Albany to preside ut the gubernatorial
mansion what she was going to do rs
first lady Of the state Of New York
Mrs. Sulzer instantly replied: Just
what am doing now-tryinS to make
good home for Will. We will live the
simple life in our new position just as
we have in the past, and II friends
come in when we have pork and beans
for dinner they must enjoy the pork
and beans or 90 elsewhere. There will
be no $4,000 dinners given in our home
ut Albany. Our home will be a rea!
home. There will be no frills about it
Mr.. Sulzer and have no social aspira.
tons"
There is q pretty romance connected
with the Sulzer marriage. Mr. SulZer
first met the lady Of his choice Ill
Washington ut Il dinner in 1901. That
he was peculiarly impressed for a con-
1irmed bachelor was remarked at the
time. Then he went west and did not
see the then Miss Rodelheim for four
years. When he came back and met
her he calmly said:
Don't you think it is time We were
getting married? You know we have
been engaged for four years"
She did not know it. But what wo-
man could let chance like that go be-
the board? For the, sulzer method Of
winning q girl WIS as convincing rs
his method Of getting vote.
In appearance Mrs. SulZcr is rather
above medium height graceful ana
with an urbanity that detracts nothing
from the impression of force one gets
from conversation with her. Her voice
is we'll modulated and her diction re-
uarkably clear. Mrs. Sulzer before
her marriage was 4 trained nurse
which probably accounts for the soft
low voice-that most excellent thing
in one of the nursing profession.
Mrs. Sulzer is the type OF woman
best fitted for the hclpmeet of man
Of strong ambitions like the Demo
cratic governor. She is difficult to in
tervicw, for she insists upon Keeping
her own personality in the background
When her husbands name is mention
ed her face ut once lights up with in
terest and pride but try to get her to
speak of herself and she becomes AZ
once as mum as the proverbial ciain.

A. government. says Il writer III the

fines you e you throw cigar stubs or

permit your children 10 mike 4 noise

government does restrict Individual lib

logized is that of Germany, which the
writer quoted prefers 10 our "go-as-

Bark For Tanners Use and Lumber
Are Products of the Tree.
Hemlock has always been an i'm
portant source of tanning material on
account of the fannie acid in it's bark.
While there are now many substitutes.
large quantities are still used. and the
bark of hemlock forest may furnish
a considerable revenue; hence, in order
to estimate the total value Of a hem
lock stand, it is necessary to be able
to determine the amount of bark as
well as that Of lumber.
s Wherever hemlock seed trees are
plentiful reproduction is usually fair.
It does not. however, take possession
Of old pastures as do the pine and
spruce. and it is practically never
found on the burns on the mountains.

Giving Your Child a Book.


What kind Of u book shall father
bring you?" L small girl was question
ed the other day.
ooh, any BOOK" came the reply with
happy nonchalance las long as it can
be my very own and stay up in my
ROOM"
She voiced the craving Of every child,
says Carolyn Sherwin Baily in the De
lineator. Your child needs his very own
five foot" bookshelf which be may
grow up with and which will meet the
needs Of his developing and expanding
imagination. But each book that We
put on this nursery bookshelf should
be selected having in mind what 1t Is
going to do for the child.
viii it brighten him? Will it hurt
his appreciation Of beauty by its rude
colors and poor art? Will it give him
warped, twisted ideas Of his world?
Rather, will the book that you put
into your child's hands make him hap
py? Will its illustrations help him
to love good pictures? Will it teach
him something?
If child can have only four books
it will be possible to give him between
the covers Of these four all that he
needs in child literature during his
earlier years.
One book should be very beautiful
pictorially. Every baby loves color
and good colored picture Of one OF his
Mother Goose friends, his pet animals
his toys, will be feast for his soul al
most. He should be taught care in
handling it, and turning its beautiful
pages will be his happy privilege.
One book will answer the queries of
our dear little question mark" 1t
should furnish material to be read to
the child to help him understand his
environment Every child is wonder
fully, buoyantly interested in animals
and stars and trees and waters and the
land Of little creatures down under his
feet Too often we let his questions III
regard to nature phenomena pass I'M
needed. Let us give him book that
will answer them.
Our third book will be 4 big, magica!
collection OF child storics-those stories
that take Il child out Of himself ana
into the places Of fancy, stories that
make children brave, happy, unseIlish'
good.
One more book, doing one. 1t VIII
be perhaps more mothers BOOK IMAM
the child's, for it will give hints ana
helps for keeping small hands active
child eyes wider open, child brains
busy. It will be book OF games, or
suggestions for cllild hand work, Il

With these four books or many books
Of each Of these four classes 4 chic

MAKING
FARM

4 70 one need expect to argue farm
M ers out Of grain raising, although
Y that is not the most profitable
agriculture. It is possible, how.
ever to show owners Of land that 1t Is
just as easy to grow thirty bushels OF
wheat, 100 bushels of corn or 300 bush
els of potatoes on an acre as 1t is to
grow lean and miserable crops. 1t is
simply question Of management and
not specially Of hard work.
Until crop Of. wheat amounts to IF
teen bushels an acre there is no profit
whatever at average prices. Above If
teen bushels it is practically all profit.
Here is the incentive to raise reasona-
bly, large crops. The corn average is
only twenty-eight bushels an acre,
whereas it ought to be 100. The potato
average is 100 bushels, but it ought to
be 200
There must be the right succession OF
crops in the fields, the so called rota-
ton. There must be the money max
ing proportion between grass land and
crop land and live stock in proportion
to total land.
While these facts are vital to all pro-
ducers, it seems to have become the
duty Of the small farmer to blaze the
way for more intensive and scientific
kind Of agriculture.
The use Of large amount of manure
does not necessarily mean bigger yields
and net profits. Something more than
manuring is required-the soil must be
worked better and weeds destroyed.
There must be right proportion and
quantity Of plant foods. 1t will not do
to guess that they arein the soil, for it
must be proved. If the test shows the
quantity lacking and proportion wrong
the farmer cannot make money. Nom
porous subsoil under heavy, close soil
is bad, as is porous subsoil under sand.

easily caught and effectively held
without injury, owing to the aperture
entrance, which prevents the shank
from being easily withdrawn, and the
large aperture, which gives freedom
of action while the shank is held.
The shank, however, is easily releas-
ed by the attendant: The hook is
made from q broom handle and Il six
foot piece of No. 10 steel wire, which
can be easily bent into the proper
shape. Tile wire is less conspicuous
than the wooden end, which attracts
the fowls attention, while the hook
catches the shank.
The illustration shows the hook en-
larged and shows also how the wire Is
