Across the road from the Porter
place was a farm where an applica.

per acre had been made six years
ago, across n end OF the field.
The first crop of clover that has
been grown in that time was about

farming.
II used to be thought that little
good could come from rock phosphate
unless II was plowed under with
barnyard or green anu Later It
has been found that clover will
benefit by II whether there is much
active organic matter in the soil or
not. A very remarkable instance Of
this was shown on F. e. Churchlll's
farm. Fifty acres OF the so in his
clover field were treated with 1000
pounds of rock phosphate per acre
after harvest last year. The phos-
phate was simply scattered on top Of
the ground, no effort whatever be-
Ing made to incorporate 1t with the
soil. The first crop Of clover was
about ready for cutting when we

treated and the ~untreated portions
showed distinctly Most of the farmers
were of the opinion that the treat
ed portion would yield fully three
times as much hay per acre as the
ten acres that were not treated.
Similar results were shown on an
farm belonging to Mr.. Churchill
This clover, like the other, was
with small grain last spring.
The phosphate was put on after
harvest, the job not being entirely
finished until late in the fall. This
field was divided into three sections,
receiving one ton Of phosphate
per acre, another half a ton. and
third being left uutreated. The

MACHINES HURT MEMS MINDS
Dr.. Herman Schneider Says Mental
lethargy ls Due to Mechanical
Devices.

Cincinnati, Or. Herman Schnei-
der of the University Of Cincinnati in
a report on New York vocational
schools submitted to the board of esti-
mates and apportionment, said that
mankind is rapidly dividing into "a
staff Of mental workers and an army
Of physical workers." and that the
minds Of the latter are becoming
lethargic. The mental development
Of those who enter the machine-feed-
ing occupations, he said. is the seri-
Gus problem that confronts the pub
lie schools. "~Energizing work Is de-.
creasing; ~enervating work is increas-
ing" he said. THE physical workers
are becoming more and more auto
matte, with the sure result that their
minds are becoming more and
lethargic. The real menace lies in
the fact that In a self-governing indus
trial community the minds Of the ma
jority are In danger OF becoming less
capable of sound and serious thought"
He said that work on farms, railroads
and in the building trades where the
labor is done outdoors, is energiZing.
The labor of a toolmaker, locomotive
assembler and cabinet maker, indoors
Is also energizing. But the routine
OF the garment worker. the punch
press operator. the paper-box maker
and the shoemaker are enervating.
Plumbing, blacksmithing and similar
work also creates q mental stimulus.
Schneider recommends that employ
ers be required to send child en-
ployes between fourteen and sixteen
to school al least four hours q week
In the day time.

FOR SANITARY CELLAR
LIGHT AND VENTILATION ARE
THE THINGS MOST IN NEED.
No Apartment in the House Is of So
Much Importance as That in
Which Food for the Family
Is Stored.

The ideal cellar should be as light
and dry and clean as any room in the
house. 1t should have windows on OPP
posite sides, easily accessible and
easily opened. Air at night in sum
mer, as to admit air warmer than the
inside air causes moisture to form and
trlckle down the side walls. Remem-
Der heated house acts like a chin
ney, the movement of the air being
from the bottom upward. If any one
doubts this, let him unstopper bot
tie of ether or boil a kettle of onions
in the cellar, then go to the top of
even six-storied dwelling. and l think
his sense of smell would soon convince
him that there is an upward draught
of no mean abilities.
Indeed, German inventor has
proved that one-half the cellar air is
found in the first story. one-third in
the second, one-ffth in the third, and
so on, which impells US to think of
the cellar as a reservoir of air for the
entire house. A good coat of lime
whitewash should be applied every
spring. No decaying vegetables or
rubbish of any kind should be stored
there. The cellar bottom and sides
should be preferably of concrete.
Where coal is stored, it should be light
and dry, as the decomposition of the
sulphides in the coal goes on much
more rapidly in a damp atmosphere.
Sulphides cause silver to tarnish.
The cold-air box of furnace should be
so located that the outer air admitted
be as pure as possible, and it should
be so constructed that through no
cracks or crevices could the cellar air
be admitted to the heating chamber of
the furnace
