A Memory OF Home.

Garry me back to my child hood days
'Tis a change would hail with
glee,
For my mothers kiss and my moth
er's smile
Were both very dear to me.
My hands have grown weary with
care and toll.
And my hair is fast turning gray
Oh carry me back to the dear old
days,
Ere my mother was laid away.
The world has grown old in its selfish
ness,
And |, struggling on alone,
Look back with hot tears to those
days of bliss,
Which spent in my childhood
home.
Oh, let me but feel my mothers kiss
On my brow. as ip days OF yore!
IT'S blessing my heart cannot cease
to miss,
Since she left, to come back no
more.
Pm homesick and weary and sad to-
night,
And oh, how | long for release
But would | return to my childhood
home,
Would dare to accept its perce,
If by doing SO l brought mother
back
Irom her beautiful, well-earned
rest?
All, no! let me battle the world
alone.
Till, in Heaven, can lie on her
breast.

Advertising Pays.

Occasionally you will hear an ante
diluvian say that it does not pay to
advertise because advertisements are
never read. But say, Mister, if the
editor were to prin, in the smallest type
IN ,de and stick the item in the extreme
northeast corner of his paper in which
something like this should appear:
"Old Skinhint Tightwad is mixing
sand in his sugar; he weighs fourteen
ounces to the pound; he mixes tallow
in his butter and lard and sells it for
pure food; when farmers wife
brings in butter to sell he rams his
nose in until he has an ounce on it,
and then goes into his backroom and
scrapes off the butter into crock un-
til he accumulates a pound then sells
it to customer. DO you think he
would find that advertisement Yes,
and he'd be in the editors Office GUS
sing him inside of thirty minutes al
ter the paper was off the press. -Ex

Comment

real life ever going on around us un-
noticed. A minister in a certain
small town received from the home
mission board of his church letter
asking for special offering for
needy field. Perhaps it was an eff
fort to take not only the gospel. but
bread and clothes and good cheer, to
the neglected, exploited children of
some slum city. The call appealed
to the preacher, and he delivered a
strong sermon, calling the attention Of
his people to the great need. But
somehow the sermon did not seem to
inspire the congregation or open the
pocket books of the brethren. The
banker down there on the left looked
listless and yawned. The merchant
over on the right became concerned
about his restless boy. who sat beside
him. The travelling man kept looking
at his watch.
Meanwhile something unseen by
human eye way going on back in the
last row of seats. Back there, sitting
alone, was a i,:!e girl, a cripple. whose
parents were very poor. She was
compelled to use crutches, and her
life seemed dark and hopeless. She
had listened to the serm IN and her
heart had been strangely warmed
by the preachers story of the distress
and need of children who were suffer-
ing. Oh! this poor, crippl d child
knew better than the banker or the
merchant how children suffer. She
heard the story of little ones whose
lives were even harder than her own.
She heard the cry of the children, and
she thought, Chow | wish | could
give something! R't ! haven't any
thing to give, not even a penny
And small, soft voice within seemed
TO say, "There are your crutches.'
She gasped as though it took away
her breath. and said to herself, "My
crutches. couldn't give my
crutches. cannot walk without
them. They are my very liie!'
And that small, still voice seemed to
reply, "Yes you could-you could
for the sake of those little children
who are suffering, and whose lot is SO
much worse than yours" And the
little woman had her tremendous
fight all unseen and unknown to 9TH
ers-and by and by the victory came.
And there came beautiful light in
her fearful eyes, and smile on
her lips as she waited for the plate tC
reach her pew.
The man with the plate came down
the aisle. 1t seemed hardly worth
while to pass it into the last pew
where the the little girl sat alone
but the look in her eyes and motor
of her head brought the plate in from
of her. With child-like simplicity
she lifted her crutches and put them
on the collection plate. The mar
caught the spirit of the great thing she
had done, s,eadied her strange gift on
the plate, walked slowly up the aisle
to the pulpit, faced the congregation
and held the plate up to view. Al
eyes were dimmed. Everybod,
knew they were little Maggle's crutch
es. The banker drew his check bool
and reached for his pencil. The mer
chant stopped the man returning W
his aisle. The the travelling man foun>
five dollar bill he evidently had for
gotten. The man with the crutches wa
called back and somebody paid hin
twenty-five dollars for them and sen
them to Maggie. When the offering
was counted up it contained severa
. hundred dollars. And the little girl

Wood Ashes Stored and Kept Dry
Are Valua BILE Source of Potash

used for the Improvement Of the soil
should not be permitted TO leach.
Ashes from hardwoods (deciduOus
trees) are richer in both phosphorus
and potash than those from pines and
other softwOOds (ccnifers). Ashes
from oak, elm, maple and hickory
have more potash than those from
pine. The ashes Of twigs (faggots for
example) are worth more for agricul-
tural purposes than the ashes Of
heartwOOd taken from the middle OF
an old tree. In general, the smaller
and younger the wood burned, the
better ashes. The ashes of coal do
not contain enough potash to make
them valuable in this connection.
Ordinary house ashes contain on
the average about S or per cent Of
potash and per cent OF phosphoric
acid. Investigators have considered
that there is enough potash and phos-
phOriC acid in a bushel Of ashes to
make il worth 20 or % cents. Be
sides that, some 10 or l 5 cents addi-
tional might be allowed for the al
kali power" Of the ashes. This pow
er is that which enables ashes TO rot
weeds and to ferment peat. OF course
prices vary with local conditions.
If wood ashes are purchased, the
farmer should assure himself that
they have neither been contaminated
with coal ashes nor adulterated with
leached aches. With these facts de-
termined, the place Of burning has no
effect on the value of the ashes as
fertilizer They are equally satisfact-
DRY whether taken from a stove,
fireplace or q bonfire.
Ashes Of Cottonseed Hulls.
The hulls OF cotton seed, according
TO specialists, yield ashes which on
tain from IS to 80 per cent of potash
and from > to 10 per cent of phos-
phoric acid Cotton-hull ashes, there
fore, as a fertilizer are much more
concentrated than ordinary wood ash
es. AS a matter Of fact, in the Opin-
ion of some investigators, the ashes
from cOttonseed hulls contain such q
large proportion Of potash that they
might do considerable harm to crops
If they were used in large quantities
These ashes have been used with
advantage for manuring tobacco.
They have in times past brought as
much as $50 or $40 a ton in New
England. One objection to the use of
these ashes is their liability 70 vary
widely in composition. This lack OF
uniformity is due to the fact that they
are burned as fuel at the oil factories
in conjunction with wood or coal
Those lightest in color have been con-
sidered the richest In potash by GER
tain investigators.

II the European war should cause
our large annual imports of potash to
dwindle, many farmers will look TO
wood ashes, among other substances,
TO replenish the potash supply. While
the amount Of wood ashes that far
mer could accumulate on his own
farm would hardly ever be Sufficient
70 supply his need for pOtaS never
thelesS, Il they are CAREFUL, stored
an not permitted to leach, they may be
OF considerable value to him. wood
ashes are now a factor in Canada, be-
ing considered a regular mercial
commodity. and the large lumber
mills and other plants using wood or
saw6ust for fuel in this country
which at present make no use of the
ashes from their furnaces or waste
piles may find IL profitable 10 store
and sell them If the demand warrant
it.
Wood ashes may be profitably ap-
piled as a top dressing to grass land
and TO pastures where they will en-
courage the growth of clover and bet
ter kinds Of grasses which Will then
crowd out inferior kinds and weeds.
Wood ashes may be also used for corn
and roots. Because of their lime
content they are not SO good for pota-
toes, although sometimes used for this
crop.
IN New England, where farmers
have had to look more carefully to
the renewing of old soils than in some
of the newer sections of the country.
wood ashes have long been appreciat
ed. Ashes indirectly increase the
available nitroen of the organic mat
ter in the soil. and have been known
to do excellent service in Europe on
drained mOOriand.
Besides the potash, ashes contain
other ingredients which are OF value
to plants namely, about 1 or per
cent of phOSphjoric acid, a little mag
neSia, and a great deal Of lime. The
Importance Of these last named ele-
ments is made plain by the esteem in
which leached ashes are held by some
of our farmers, although from leach
ed ashes all but a very small portion
Of the potash has been washed out
The farmer who wishes to restore
potash 20 the soil by the use of ashes
should take great care that they are
kept dry and are not allowed TO leach
at all. Many housewives save their
house ashes and leach out the potash
for use in making soap. They may
now have an additional reason for
conserving them, namely, their in
creased value as a garden fertilizer.
But as has just been said ashes to be

Concentrated Apple Cider is

The specialists OF the fruit and veg
