Massacre at casas Grandes.

In July. 1913. villa took Casas
Grandes, Chihuahua, and shot more
than so noncombatants, violating sew
eral young girls, amongst them two
young ladies named Castillo.
He attacked and took the town of
San Andres, which was held by the
federals, in September, 1913. shooting
many peaceable residents and more
than $50 prisoners, many of these be-
ing women and children. In shooting
these people, in order to economic
cartridges, he placed one behind the
other up to five at one time, very few
Of them being killed outright. The
bodies of the dead and wounded were
then soaked with petroleum and
thrown into bonfires prepared for the
purpose. The prisoners were forced
themselves to make the bonfire and
cover with petroleum the rest Of the
victims.
After this he went to the small town
OF Carretas, where he took prisoner a
man Of more than seventy years of
age, named Jose Dolores Moreno, de-
handing from him a ransom of 5000.
AS he could not pay Villa killed him
with his own hand.

a whole chapter TO the use of the feet

with n rake. and note the difference.
The radishes which have been tramped

NEW LIFE FOR THE OLD SOIL
Green Manures Work Wonders.
w. n. STEVENSON.

Any crops grown and plowed under
pacity Of the sol are called green ma.
nure crops. Sometimes such crops oc-
cupy the land for only a part Of the
season. They are then known as
cover" crops or catch crops
Green manuring Is an important
practice, chiefly because it adds organic
matter 90 the soil, which is gradually
converted into humus, an absolutely
essential constituent Of the soil OF
course humus may be secured by ap.
plying barnyard manure. but as q rule
there is not enough Of this material to
meet the needs of the land However
green manuring is not enough In itself
TO keep soil from wearing out. so
other practices must be followed Crops
must be grown in rotation, the mois-
ture content OF the soil regulated. prop
or tillage practiced, the soil kept sweet
the supply Of mineral plant food main
tained, especially the supply Of phos-
phorus and potassium, and the nitro
gen content OF the soil kept up. These
factors all play an important part In
keeping a soil productive, but they
are not more important than green
manuring
Poor Soils Especially Benefited.
In general green manures are bene-
fetal when used on poor soils because
Of their action on the physical, chemi.
cal and meteorological conditions Of
the soil From the physical side green
manures influence the moisture, TEN
perature and aeration of soils. For ex-
ample, on light, sandy soils they pre-.
vent rapid drying out by reducing the
losses of moisture due TO evaporation
and percolation, and further make. the
soil more compact While they have
just the opposite effect on heavy clay
soils, here the organic matter opens up
the soil and admits air
The practice Of leaving the soil bare
during July and August following the
harvest Of small grain crop Is very
bad, as 1t causes the loss OF large
amounts OF nitrogen by percolatlon
These losses may be prevented in
large measure by growing green ma
nure crops on the land. especially is
this true Of leguminous crops. which
stimulate greater bacterial action, and
as a result larger amounts Of available
plant food are produced Rye, wheat,
buckwheat and rape are the nonlegu-
minous crops which are commonly
used for green manuring, while red
clover. mammoth clover, sweet clover,
crimson clover, Canada field peas, cow
peas, soy beans and vetches are the
best known legumes for this purpose.
The secret Of keeping our gardens
and fields fertile is to plow deep, and
II necessary subsoil. cultivate thor
oughly and plant leguminous crops.

These elements provide plant food TO
start crops and feed them through the
season. To use this table remember
commercial fertilizers are sold on a
percentage basis thus: 1910 means 4
per cent actual nitrogen, 8 per cent
actual phosphoric acid and 10 per cent
potash. So from a 200 bag OF potash
containing 81 per cent actual potash.
81 per cent OF 200 pounds is 102 pounds.
The 1910 calls for 10 per cent actual
potash or 10 per cent OF 102 pounds,
which is 10.2 pounds. In feeding plants
harrow into the soil part of the fer
tillzer to be used and then after the
plants are up spread bit more be-
tween the rows and work it into the

cially true OF nitrate of soda.

STOCKING UP WITH PLANT
FOOD
Buy Your Fertilizer Intelligently.
e. X. PARKINSON.

In buying commercial fertilizer do
not be guided wholly by a chemical
analysis OF the crop to be fertilized.
Soils differ widely and my be deep or
shallow, sandy or loamy, containing
liberal supplies Of plant food which
could be brought into use by deep
plowing and thorough cultivation, or
perhaps markedly lacking in plant
foods. First, then, you must know
something or the character OF your
soil and you may usually count on
sandy and gravelly soils being poor In
potash and phosphoric acid, clay soils
usually rich in potash and poor In lime
and phosphoric acid: limestone soils
rich in that element and phosphoric
acid and poor in potash, while soils
containing leaf mold or other kinds Of
vegetable matter are usually rich i'm all
elements.
Formulas TO Use.
Having determined the general ma
ture Of the soil. the formulas given be-
low will meet the requirements OF
good sandy loan. In purchasing fer
tilizer remember part Of the nitrogen
should be in the form Of nitrate OF
soda. which becomes Immediately avail
able. and part should be I'm the form
Of organic nitrogen, such as taukage,
dried blood. or dry ground fish, which
il not Immediately available. while
part Of the phosphoric acid should be
soluble as acid phosphate and part in
soluble, such as ground bone. South
Carolina rock or Tennessee rock. (These
facts may be had from the salesmcn)

CONCERNING FREE LIBRARIES.
Fifty-six Towns in State Have None
Increase Hoped for This Year.

There are now So towns in the state
without libraries, and it is the desire of
the state library commission that the
number of Libraries in Vermont may be
increased during the present year. To
this end the state is willing to give 500
worth of books for that purpose, if
these towns will comply with the con-
ditions required by law, as follows:
First see that these articles are insert
ed in the warning for the coming town
meeting.
TO see if the town will elect board
of library trustees and instruct such
board to make application to the state
board of library commissioners for
state aid.
To see what sum, if any, the town
viii appropriate for the maintenance of
free public library.
If the grand lis of your town is less
than $500, the sum must not be less
than SO.
If the grand list is more than $500,
yet less than $4,000. the sum to be
appropriated must not be less than S25.
If the grand list is $4,000 or more.
the sum to be raised must not be less
than $50. Many towns show their de.
sire lpi CIVIC improvement DV raising
much higher sums than the state re-
quires OF them
The state of Vermont recognizes that
a free public library is necessary to the
education of its children and the de-
vclopment of its people in the same man
ner as the free school.
j. arther information is desired. anv
meInber of the library commission or
the secretary, Miss r. w. Wright, Mont
pelier, will be glad to give it.
The Sc towns now without libraries
are as follows: Albany, Baltimore, Barre
