Famous Riddle.

The following ingenious riddle is
attributed to DIR. Samuel Wilberforce,
who during his life was, bishop of
Oxford, and afterwards of Winches-
ter, England. 1t is known as the
Bishop of Oxford's riddle:
am a trunk with two lids, two
caps, two musical Instruments; a
number of articles carpenter could
not dispense with; two lofty trees,
two good fish and a number of she'll
fish; a fine stag and number of ami
mails of less noble breed; two playful
animals; a number of weathercocks:
two established measures: two nipple
ments of war; whips without handles;
the steps of hotel result of a vote
in the house of commons; fine fiow-
ers and fruit; two scholars; two
places of worship; ten Spanish gran.

Major I. D. Lancaster gave quite
an interesting personal Renaissance
of the battle of Gettysburg at the
meeting of the Marion Camp of Con
federate Veterans on Tuesday Ma
jor Lancaster belonged to a famous
Alabama regiment and participated
in every engagement in which that
regiment took part, and came out of
the conflict without a scratch. HIS
regiment was perhaps in more en-
gagements than any other that was
enlisted in the Confederate armies.

HOME MIXING OF FERTILIZERS

Are you using commercial fertlliz-
ars this year? If so, are you In that
class of progressive farmers who are
buying the chemicals and mixing
their own fertilizers, or do you still
use the hit or miss factc.y mixed
goods?
The following are reasons for buy
ing the chemicals and doing your own
mixing:
/. When farmer buys the cheml-
Gals and mixed his own fertilizers he
will study the needs of his SOL ard
his crops instead of letting the fer
tilizer manufacturer do all of his
thinking for him.
2. Only high grade materials will
be bought, and a better grade Of fer
! tilizer can be made.
3. Special mixtures can be made
to suit the needs of each field, aud TO
suit the different crops planted on
these soils.
4. By clubbing together and buying
for cash the chemicals in car lots di-
rect from the manufacturers and
large dealers, at least one-third of the
fertilizer bill can be saved.
5. The farmer can do as good mix
icG IS .ae j. erage factory.
c. nhen a farmer buys the chemi-
Gals for home mixing he will see that
nitrogen is the most expensive 1ertll-
izing element No good farmer can
afford to buy nitrogen year af+er voar
to grow cotton, corn, small grain and
tobacco. Cowpeas, velvet beans, soy
beans and the clovers draw nitrogen
from the air. and when any of these
crops are grown and turned under, the
soil will be. we'll supplied with nitro
gen.
How to Mix Fertilizers
Empty the raw materials on a close
wood floor or hard dirt floor, under
a shed or clubhouse. Spread the mate
rails to be mixed in layers upon one
another; then with a shovel and hoe
cut down the pile and turn over two
or three times, and the materials viii
be as thoroughly mixed and give As
good results as any ready-mixed fer
tilizer that you buy.
1t is better not to empty over 400
to 600 pounds at one time, as it can
be more readily and thoroughly mix
ed in small quantities.
Your county demonstration agent
will be glad to advise with you about
the best fertilizer mixtures for your
soils and crops. Call on him.

County Agent.

An Australian traveller. who has re-
turned from trip round the Torres
Straits archipelago, found it was the
correct thing for the bridegrooms
among the Christianized natives OF
Badu. Mulgrave island. to weep at the
altar.
IAN indispensable condition for a
wedding" Mr.. Walker states, lis that
the bridegroom must cry when the
knot is tied. The tears flow copiously
quite a shower of them.
1T is extraordinary how the natives
can produce tears just whenever they
are wanted. The bride does not weep
She is full of mirth. II is her day out!
Everybody grips her by the hand and
says nice things, while her tear-stain'
ed partner stands apart, a picture OF
abject misery"
The natives of Badu, who earn their
living by fishing for pearls, though
nominally Christian are still miners

them burying with their dead large
quantities OF food and drink, so that

CORAL SURFACE COVERS SEA
Wonderful Composition Of Strip Of Sea
Coast That Is Part OF
Yucatan.

That part of Yucatan known as
Quintana Roo, belongs to Mexico, and
IL is doubtful il anywhere in the world
is to be found such a strange and Won
derful region. Having a coast line OF
500 miles and an area of $4,000 square
miles, 1t was once occupied by race
of people having a high state Of civil
ization. IS Is evidenced by the ruins
they left behind them. Owing to the
fact that a savage race known as the
Mayas still hold the interior almost all
commercial, mining and other trades
are necessarily confined to narrow
strip of the coast, which Is composed
almost wholly of coral. 1t is this strip
which has been termed the "petrified
sea-" for almost anywhere a hole can
be dug and salt water struck. In fact
this coral surface of the coast country
is nothing but the roof OF a gigantic
cavern in which there are subterran-
can waters. Through these holes cat
fish without eyes can be caught This
water Is impregnated with copper and
cannot be used even In steam boilers.
The lack of soil on the surface of this
coral prevents the raising of vegeta-
bles and the lack OF these foods, owing
to their high cost. is responsible for
the many sicknesses and feyers to
which the inhabitants are prone. The
cost of living is extremely high in con-
sequence. Ice brings as high as 25
cents pound and other things are in
