Fertilizer Facts,

No very definite rule can be laid
down for the fertilization of any crop.
Soils and climates vary enormously,
and the variations Of the soil and soil
tillage have a great influence on the
methods Of fertilization. Furthermore,
the tastes and ideas of different men
vary. and these personal factors have
also to be taken into account. They
are Of the greatest significance in
fruit growing. for the man is more
important than the soil or the climate.

during the reign or terror IN |
Paris to save some patrician
who was about to be led to
the g%uillotine. Among them that which
was conceived for the young Marquise
de la Favette was probably the most
pathetic in it's results.
Jean Truville va an idealist. Though
of good but not noble family, he joined
the revolutionary forces simply through
a desire to better the condition of the
lower classes. When, however, he saw
Paris deluged with blood he learned
how dangerous it is to put power into
the hands Of people who do not know
how to use it. Jean had studied the
law and before the revolution had been
summoned to the Chateau Favette to
draw the old dukes will. There he
| had met the Marquise Louise. his
daughter, and she had won his heart
| not only by the charm Of her pres
| ence, but by treating him as her equal.
When during the reign Of terror n
day the duke was led out to execution
and Jean learned that Louise was to
suffer the same fate. in order that the
family of aristocrats might become
extinct, he resolved to save her even
if he lost his own life in doing SO.
In drawing the dukes will Jean had
| noticed that provision was made for
| the return Of a son and heir to the es-
tate who had gone to America with
Lafayette to take part in the American
Revolution and had been reported miss
ing after one Of the battles in which
the French troops were engaged. Jean
went to the Chateau Favette, procured
a likeness Of this young man and
hired a costumer to make him up to
resemble the subject Of the picture.
Then. seeking an old woman who had
been his %laundress for years. he gave
her all the money he possessed to sign
n statement that she had carried a
child to the Chateau Favette twenty
years before who had been adopted by
the duchess in place Of her own child,
still born. and without the dukes
knowledge OF the substitution.
1t was the day appointed for the x
ecution Of Louise de Ia Favette. Jean
as soon as the tribunal whose sole bust
ness it was to bring aristocrats to the
guillotine came together walked up tC
the desk before the president and said
"Citizen. I am Antoine de la Favette

HOW BIG SHOULD A FARM
Be?

In Farm and Fireside the edl-
tor reports the opinion OF j. r.
Sparks, an Iowa farmer, that the
farm of 100 acres in the corn
belt is the ideal. He has had ex-
perience on farms Of so. 100, 100
and 400 acres and believes in
the 100 acre farm. Following is
an extract from the article:
How much clear money can a
nan make on this sort Of farm?
The ideal farm Of 12O acres de-
scribed by this 12O acre farmer
should sell, he says, products on
the average to the amount Of
$4,000 a year. Feed to the value
of 1000 a year would he bought.
This would leave the farmer, as
interest and wages. $500. He
deducts the 5000 for incidentals
and gives $1,000 as the net re-
turn.

vision for my return, for he had no
proof Of my death. As to proof Of my
statement respecting my supposed sis.
ter. l have provided myself with the
sworn statement of Rachel Duprey,
who carried the babe to the chateau"
The citizen Judge looked at the young
man who proposed to give his life for
another with establishment, then read
Rachel Duprey's statement.
ARREST this man and stay the execu.
ton Of Citizeness Favette."
Jean was imprisoned in the concier.
gerie while the court investigated the
truth of his statement. The will Of the
late duke on file verified Jeans state
menta as to the missing heir, and Rachel
Duprey stood by her written afndavit
that she had carried Louise to the cha
teau. The court was too busily en-.
gagged in it's bloody work to probe the
matter and decided to consider Jean
the rightful heir to the Favette estate.
The next question was, should he, hav-
ing voluntarily given himself up, be
executed. He had fought in the AUS
Of liberty in America and had acted
nobly in presenting himself to a Y
Louise. But he was the Duke de la
Favette, and the r%evolutionists wished
to exterminate his family and to get
possession Of his estate. Therefore
after a spirited debate it was voted to
execute him.
One morning a soldier entered the
conciergerie and read the names of a
number of persons there who were to
be taken out for execution. One of
them was Citizen Favette.
Louise, who supposed that the man
had made an error in reading citizen
instead of citizeness, was trying TO
get up from her chair to go to her
death when she saw a young man rise
and take his place among the con.
demned. The next moment the soldier
read:
She who was known as Citizeness
Favette is free to CO."
When the batch was completed and
the prisoners We're filing out, Jean,
passing Louise. whispered in her ear:
II die for YOU because l love you"
After the restoration of the Bourbons
the Duke de la Favette returned to
France. He had been left for dead on
a battlefield, taken by a trapper west
ward and captured by a tribe Of In.
, dams in the her wilderness of Ohio.

), learned something Of the plan by
:, which she had been saved from death.
Nothing that had been done by the
rev%olutionists stood under the new re-
gin1e, and the duke found little difficult
ty in regaining his estates.
Louise de la Favette never married,
considering herself the wife of the man
who had died for her. So long as she
lived she made pilgrimages to the
cemetery of Pere la Chaise to place
flowers on the grave of Jean Truville,
and when she died she was laid beside
him.
