Vera CruZ.-For the last ten months
Nelson O'Shaughnessy has held the
most important job in the diplomatic
service of the United States. He has
been charge daffaires In Mexico.
which means he has been steadily nm

That he has showed we'll a truly

also from his achievement in getting

old regime of Porfirio Diaz, then with

him out, then with the Huertistas. who

plosive alcoholic old Indian dictator
might have been precipitated. but
O'Shaughnesey realized this was what
the home government did not then
want and STAYED 1t on.
It must have taken considerable
staving OF, especially after President
Wilson's announced policy Of watch
full waiting" for Huerta's fall. but
O'Shaughnessy and a lot Of other
O'Shaughnessys behind him in direct
line have kissed the blarney stone and
he managed It.
One of his chief dificulties during
this period was getting Americans out
of Jail. Huerta for the life Of him
couldn't see why they shouldn't stay
in Jail for their offenses, real or other
wise, while President Wilson was
"watchfully waiting"
One reason for O'Shaughnessy's sue
cess in Mexico. as well as for his pop
ularity in viennese society. is undoubt-
eddy because he IL q Catholic.
The main reason. however, seems to
be his human understanding. his ex-
traordinary ability for getting into the
other mans skin and seeing things
from his standpoint. and in his lam
guage. He speaks French. Italian
German and Spanish.
Talk to him for half an hour and
you feel like laying your problems be-
fore him; for another half hour and he
is helping you solve them.
The most conspicuous example OF
his native diplomatic endowment may
be left to the end. He not only was
intimate personally with Diax. Madero
and Huerta, one after the other. but
he kept his Job successfully under
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson.
This young diplomat Of thirty-seven
plays poker equally well with or with
out cards under the bland exterior OF
dandy. When the Irish take that line
they're hard to fool-and. when they
want to be. they're great foolers.

TO RENEW fertility

TO Build Up Soil In Nitrogen Recourse

As an all-arOund means OF soil I'M

manure. Frequently, however, people
want to know what to use to supple

needs of the soil use high grade COM

q part may be saved for the row or In

toes, etc.
But will even 1900 pounds per acre
of high grade complete fertiliser build
up the fertility of soil? The answer 10
quite simple. Fifteen hundred pounds
of fertilizer contain several times the
phosphoric acid removed by q heavy
crop Of vegetables. and the unused
portion will remain In soil for the ben
efit of succeeding crops. The supply
of potash need not give concern, but
the weakness Of the fertilizer 10 the
low content of the high priced ele-
ment. nitrogen.
A comparison of the proportions OF
plant food elements present In fer

make this point clear. Take corn.
for example. In mature plants for
every ten pounds of phosphoric acid
are found % pounds of potash and 81
pounds Of nitrogen. but in q common
brand of truckers fertilizer for every
ten pounds of phosphoric acid are
four pounds of potash and only three
and one-third pounds Of nitrogen. Thus
1.5OO pounds of such fertilizer does
not contain a. much nitrogen as ID
required in the production of q 40
bushel corn crop and less than one
third the amount removed by heavy

after feeding milk When the calf 10

of grain may be one-half pound daily.
at the end of two months one pound
daily and at the end of three months
two pounds daily. and no further in

good mixture is three parts (by
weight) of cornmeal, three parts
ground oats, three parts wheat bran
and one part linseed oil meal.
II the skimmilk is limited various
substitutes may be used after the calf
Is thirty days old. The Cornell station
found dried skimmilk powder gave the
best results. and calf meals gave good
results. strong calves having been
raised by their use without milk.
In raising calves indigestion or
scours are often troublesome and are
traced to one or more of the following
causes: Too much milk. cold milk.
sour milk, unclean pals or unclean

remove the cause. When q severe
