AVAILABILITY" OF FERTILIZERS.
w. A. Worsham, Professor of AgricuI-
tural Chemistry.

Inquiry-.'What constitutes avail
ability of fertilizer ingredients?
Availability means ability to dis
solve in water and thus furnish food
for plants which can take their food
only in soluble form.
Potash, as applied in fertilizers, is
practically all available Phosphoric
acid, as applied in fertilizers, is only
partly available. Only Is per cent. of
acid phosphates, is available; in other
words, soluble phosphoric acid.
Ground phosphate rock is not avail
able in the absence of humus, but
with humus it gives results equal to
acid phosphate.
Nitrogen is all available in the form
of nitrate of soda or sulphate of am
monia. In organic forms, that is, in
the form of manure, vegetable matter,
bone, blood, etc, there must be de-
cay. In other words, it must be act
ed upon by bacteria which will con
vert it into available form.
Inquiry-What is the plant food
value of the manures from various
animals?
The value of the plant food in man
ures is not as great as the humus
they afford that stimulates bacterial
action and thus sets free the natural
plant food contained in the soil. The
value Of manures per animal for a
year is estimated as follows: Horse
or mule. SGT; COW, $40; hog, IS;
sheep, 81.

"HAPPY BOB'S' $4,000
VALUE RIGHTLY PLACED
Judge SpGer Holds That Hall
Was Right

Macon, Ca, March 2O.-Judge Emory
Speer in the United States district
court here has confirmed the finding
of the referee in the case of the Com
mercial City Bank, of Americas, vs.
George C. Hall, bankrupt, being a pc,
tition for review on motion to expunge
= claim.
The bank held mortgage dated
January II, 1909, given to secure the
payment of note made by the bank
rupt in the sum of $1,000. The mort
gage pledged three horses, two mules
ard two wagons, the most valuable
of the horses being one Happy Bob
On demand of the bank, it was al,
legged, Happy Bob" was sold, bring,
ing $4,000 This the bankrupt claimed
he took to the bank and instructed that
it be applied to the mortgage and that
he asked for his note and mortgage.
but that the cashier of the bank was
unable to find the papers at the time,
though this was denied in part by the
cashier in his testimony. the cashier
claiming that there were no instruc-
tons to apply the price of Happy
Bob" to the discharge of the mortgage.
1t seems that Hall also had an ov-
erdraft of something like $4,000 at the
bank. The bank contended that the
mortgage was not paid and it had
right to place the $4,000 to Halls credit
on the open account.
The referee in passing on the ques-
ton found in favor Of the bankrupt
and yesterday when Judge Speer gave
his ruling he declared he could dis
cover no reason why he should disra-
gard the finding of the referee. Quot
ing from the code, Judge Speer cited
the following: CAS- a general rule. the
Oldest lien and the Oldest item in al
account will be the first paid, the pre-
sumption of law being that such would
be the fair intention of the parties"
Taking the testimony of the bank
oficial to be true and applying this
principle, it is strongly persuasive that
the finding of the learned referee was
right, said Judge Speer. There IL,
however, an additional consideration In
support of the finding. Happy Boz
was mortgaged property. 1t is not de-
MED that he was sold by the demand
of the bank, and even if the debtor
who still held title to him, notwith-
standing that he had been mortgaged
to secure the debt, was silent as TO
the application of his price, the bank
knew that he was part of the prop.

silk Stockings, Peek-a-BOo
Waists Are Taboo

Columbus, o., March 2O.-Declaring
that the immodesty of the attire worn
by women on the streets and in public
places is the cause of "a great wave
of immortality now sweeping over the
country, Representative Chappelle OF
Cincinnati has introduced a bill in the
lower house of the legislature, provid-
ing for the appointment by the gov
ernor OF committee ito prescribe the
fashions to be worn by women in the
state of Ohio"
Introduction of the measure resulted
from charge filed with Gov. Cox to-
day by a woman who did not sign her
name that immortality is practiced by
married men in the offices of the
state house and elsewhere in the state
of Ohio
Under the provisions of the bill the
proposed commission would be com
PEELED to fix limits on decollette dress
es so that mot more than two inches
of the neck below the chin shall be
uncovered" Another clause of the
measure provides that transparent
stockings shall not be displayed or
worn in public places"
Those Fish Net Things.
Another provision of the bill states
that 'it shall be unlawful to display
or wear any outer garment trimmed
or combined with laces, insertion or
any kind of embroidery mesh or net
through which the color or texture OF
the skin may be distinguished with
out having the lace or other trans
parent material backed with opaque
material"
Members of the proposed commits
sion, according to the bill, would have
to be between 80 and so years of age
Two of them would have to be ma
ried men and of good moral character.
One would be a minister, one a parent
of not less than three children and the
other social settlement worker.
The commission would be authorized
ito prescribe rules and regulations for
the designing and manufacture If
womens clothing and to prohibit such
styles and patterns of garments as
the commission after hearing shall
deem to be detrimental to virtue and
chastity"
The bill goes as far as to prohibit
department stores from displaying I'M
draped artificial figures. The bill makes
a violation of the act punishable by
a fine of not less than $25.

HUNTS MAYOR WITH GUN
SHOOTS Down SERGEANT
Buffalo City Hall Scene Of
Much Excitement

Buffalo, N. Y, March 2O-AJoseph
Stefunski, a cowboy from Geyse",
Montana, apparently demented, threw
officials at the city hall into a panic
this afternoon when he entered the
mayors office and opened fire on the
clerks and sergeant of police de.
tailed there.
Charles E. Lang, the sergeant, who
grappled with the man, was shot four
times, but probably will recover.
Stefunski called twice at the office
this morning, asking for Mayor Fuhr
mann, or his secretary. This afternoon
he called for the third time. Address
ing Chas. Egloff, license clerk, he ask
ed for the mayor. Egloff told him the
mayor was out.
Well | want $780," said Stefunski.
Clerk Plays For Time.
Egloff tried to parley with the man
while Lang, who had overheard the
demand for money, walked toward him.
The sight of the officer apparently
alarmed Stefunski, who stepped back
and drew a revolver, yelling:
"I'll get that hundred or know the
reason why"
Lang closed with Stefunski, but was
unable to seize the revolver. Stefuns ii
fired five shots, four of which lodged
in Lang's neck and shoulder, The
fifth, aimed at Egloff, went wild.
stefunski shook off his wounded an.
tagonist and began TO reload his re-
volver.
While a deputy sheriff stood at one
door of the mayors office, firing a
revolver in Stefunski's direction. De-
tective Sergeant Herman Burkhardt
rushed in and overpowered the man.
Planned to Shoot EN- All.
At police headquarters Stefunski de-
clared he was an anarchist and hal
gone to the city hall to shoot EN- all. >
In his pocket was a curiously worded
document which the police regard as
further evidence of the mans unbal-
anced mind 1t was written on thu
stationery of a Great Falls, Mon
oank and purported to be an order fo-
$780, Stamped upon it in several places
were the words Joseph Stefunski, COW

ink, big Rich Man" Stefunski. He
said he is native of Poland.
