Is Nitrogen Needed After a
Crop of Peas Cut for Hay?
A Tennessee reader asks: where
| grew a good crop of cowpeas last
summer and removed them for
hay, will | not need to apply any
nitrogen in the fertilizer the COM
ing season for cotton, or did the
crop of peas store enough nitrogen
in the soil?"
On good land. it is a question if
whom the cowpeas are removed for
hay, much more nitrogen is left in
the roots and stubble than was
taken from the soil in growing the
crop. For insta nee, if in a crop of
cowpeas making one and q half
tons of hay We estimate seventy
five pounds of nitrogen in the hay
and fifteen pounds in the roots
aud stubble then if fifteen pc unds
of the nitrogen used in the growth
of the crop was taken from the
soil, there is no gain to the soil
when the hay is removed. In
some cases, however, there will be
a larger portion of tue nitrogen in
the whole plants left in the soil by
the stubbls aud roots. and unless
the soil is quite rich there will
usually be some gain in nitrogen
to the soil, even where the crop is
removed for hay.
In poor soils, a much larger por-
ton of the nitrogen used in the
growth of the crop will bs taken
from the air, and consequently
there will be a relatively larger
gain and moro improvement to the
soil, but in order to add largely to
the nitrogen in the soil, the crop
must be plowed under or fed and
tho manure returned to tho land.
~ We may, therefore, conclude
thatif this soil needed nitrogen
for cotton before the growth of the
pea crop, some nitrogen, but
smaller quantity, will be needed
the coming year. Ii, however, this
land produced fair stalk of cot
ton before the growth of tho pea
crop, no nitrogen may be needed
in the fertilizers for cotton the
coming season. In such a case, it
will be better to put no nitrogen
under the crop at planting, but if
the crop does not show sufficient
growth of stalk in the season a
embarrassing of from fifty to- one
hundred pounds Of nitrate of soda
per acre may he made about the
time the plants begin blooming

JourneYinq in Space.

Our worlds journey in space is a
long one, if we are to accept the con-
illusions of Dr. Turner of the univer-
sity observatory of Oxford and Prof.
H. o. Plummer, royal astronomer of
Ireland. Recent astronomical work
suggests that the sun and its planets
form a single unit in a vast system,
the stars in which, though separated
by enormous distances, have a com
mon center of gravity, and in response
to gravitation all move in unison like
a stupendous machine. The paths of
these stars. instead of being nearly
circular, like those of the planets
around the sun, are much like the os-
citations of pendulum. The calcula-
tons show that on his elongated
course our sun must travel $1,000, 600
years before completing revolution,
and that it passed near the center less
than million-perhaps not more than
300. 0O0-years age, and is now on the
outward stretch.

POLISH JEW HELD IN HONOR
Warsaw Policeman Gets Remarkable
Recognition From All Glasses of
the People.

An account Of a jubilee celebration
in honor Of a Jewish policeman Of
Warsaw, Poland. is contained in the
American Hebrew. The celebration
was in honor Of fifty years service
by Doruch Yablonsky, an ex-guards-
man.
In 1863 he was appointed consta-
BILE in the Polish capital by the vice
roy, Grand Duke Constantine, who
took into consideration his brilliant
conduct in the Crimean war, for
which he was decorated with medal.
Yablonsky, who is now the only Jew
on the Warsaw police force, per-
formed the duties of constable for
AZ years, until eight years ago, when
he was transferred to the clerical de-
partmcnt.
He is now Lightweight years old,
and holds several decorations. The
entire police force joined in the jubi-
lee celebration, and Yablonsky was
the object of hearty praise and con-
CALCULATIONS. He received 100 rubles
from the chief of police, watch from
his colleagues and a warm message
from the regiment of guards in which
he served at the siege of Sebastopol.
In religion Yablonsky holds orthodox
views, and he has special permit to
attend synagogue services on Satur-
days and festivals.

RECOVERED FROM JUNK HEAP
Enormous Sum Is the Aggregate That
ls Saved, Ascribed to Second
airy Metals"

The value of secondary metals
exclusive Of gold, silver, platinum, iron
and aluminum-recovere in the Uni
ted States in 1912, reached the enor-
nous tota Of 81 1868 compared
with $52,585,390 in 1911, according to
J. p. Dunlop of the United State geo
logical survey, an increase of nearly
$25,000,000, or almost so per cent.
Secondary metals are those re-
covered from scrap metal, sweepings,
skimmings, dross, ETC.. and are so
called to distinguish them from metals
derived from ore. which are termed
primary metals"
The values given for the secondary
metals are arbitrary and are based
upon the approximate average value
of the primary metals for the year.
While junk dealers and collectors fire.
quently pay low prices for small guam
titles of scrap metals, competition re-
suits in good prices for carefully as
sorted products in large quantities.
After remelting or refining the met
ais are sold at only slightly lower
prices than new metal These second
airy metals displace an equivalent
quantity Of primary metals and must
be considered in any estimate of
stocks available for consumption in
any year.

Are You Left.Handeda

Why don't you make more use of
your left hand?
1t has been estimated that 81 per
cent. of the English-speaking people
are right-handed when they grow up.
Seventeen out of every hundred are
born right-handed, but the remaining
SO are born without any inclination to
use one hand more than the other.
and, therefore, become right-handed
owing to influences brought to bear
on them during their childhood days.

much men lose by neglecting their left
hands. Formerly-in primitive times,
that is to say-everyone was ambi-
dextrous, and the sooner people be-
come ambidextrous again the better
