RADluM AS FERTILIZER.

An Experimentsr Asserts That It Will
Increase Yield Of Land.
Radium as fertilizer is q new idea
in farming. 1t is asserted that it will
increase the yield Of land from 80 to
100 per cent
So says DIR. II. III. Rusby of the New
York College Of Pharmacy. He has
been experimenting with radium solu-
tions on tiny farm at Nutley. n. j..
for the last two years. Recently he
presented bis results to the American
Pharmaceutical association.
Dr.. Rusby diluted his radium three
milligrams to ton Of water. This, he
says, will fertilize thoroughly twenty
acres Of land at an approximate cost
of $50. The farm was only an acre
and one-half in extent, but in small
patches he raised practically all the
vegetables used by northern farmers.
Fifty. pounds Of his solution to the
acre gave the best results in the great.
est number of cases. Some vegetables
required more.
On the whole, however, DR.. Rusby
found his experiments particularly en-
couraging. Cucumbers. squashes, mel.
ons. radishes, carrots, corn, cabbage
and a host Of others responded most
satisfactorily to the treatment and
gave results far above their normal
output.
The use of radium as fertilizer, DR..
Rusby AYERS, did not originate with
him. When it was found that weak
solutions of radium salts applied to
cancer only stimulated it's growth sci.
entists began to experiment with 1t
upon plants. In the beginning all Of
the solutions which they used were
far too strong. The New York botan-
ical gardens and the University OF
Prague were the first to make success.

the council, however, at the meeting
in regard to the matter. We under
stand that both railroads have signi-
fed their intention of donating $4,000
towards meeting the expense. It is
estimated that the cost of installation,
including the electric cable, would be
in the neighborhood Of $1,000.

Observation-Disclosures
VALUE OF FARM RECORDS.

Every farmer should keep a
record Of his operating costs and
the financial results Of every
thing done on the farm. A farm
er who does this is not going to
lose anything, but is surely on
the road to success. At first 1t
will seem impossible to keep a
record of labor. financial ac-
counts and crop yields. but it
will be surprising how the habit
will become established. A very
interesting and profitable record
to work OH at present is har-
vest record Of the different grain
crops. Such a record will show
the farmer how much his crops
yielded and the cost to thrash
the grain. When the value Of
such records is realized the farm
will then be run on 4 more strict
ly business basis.-Orange Judd

You might describe this device as a
tool box on wheels or the wheel bar
row work bench. 1t is one Of the
handiest things Of its kind that can
be made. Suppose a man wants to do
a little work in a shed quarter Of q
mile from the house? He can make this
combination box and bench and Ntake
all the tools needed right along with It.

1t is really a sort Of portable re-
pair shop. You can keep all manner
Of tools, nails. clips. bolts and nuts
In it. There is room for wire clippers,
wire and anything else that may be
needed. And it is likely to save you a
lot Of trouble when the job is done.
We all know how easily tools are mis-
laid and even lost for good.
Materials needed for its c0nstruc-
ton are: A pair Of old cultivator
wheels a few boards. couple of

things together.-Farm Progress.
