SOIL FERTILITY IN
BRUSH AND WEEDS
Phosphorus Compound, a Most
Essential Element, Formed
by Their Decay.
CBv n. n. sHFPARD.D


Last summer a clump OF elder
bushes growing near the walk was
cut away. One evening in the sum-
mer, after a shower had made the soil
moist our boys found something glow
Ing at this point
Through boyish curiosity they dug
up the glowing particles and found
them to be decayed masses of a last
summers elder stump. The stump
had died and returned to dust" or
had been decomposed to earthly ele-
ments and compounds in one short
year.
This glowing substance in the elder
stump and in many other decompos-
ing woods, is Of course a phosphorus
compound-ope of the most essential
things for the best soil fertility, and
one which is now being extensively
used in the commercial form as rock
phosphate.
But there is a good farm lesson in this
elder stump. Ifit gives up phosphorus
through decay, then it becomes a valu-
able fertilizer, one which we cannot
afford to burn up or throw away.
And If the elder bushes contain
phosphorus, other bushes and weeds
contain it. They also contain potash
and other needed elements for grow
ing good crops Of feed and food.
All farmers have noticed that ar
old fence row when cleaned up ant
plowed for crop is very fertile soil
The reason for this is that many diff
ferent bushes and weeds which grew
in this old fence row drew up phos
phorus, potash. lime and many Other
mineral elements from deep down IL
the hard soil.
Through the decay of the stumpi
and roots of this wild growth thest
valuable fertilizer elements and com
pounds are left in the surface sol
for feeding the crops.
On many farms all weeds, bushe
and wild growths are cut and burnet
when they are to be got rid of. T,
burn such things means to destro,
much Of their fertilizing value. Tn
better way is to plow the smalle
growth under whenever possible, an
to use the larger trash for filling Il
needless bitches and gullies
Here, covered with soil, they wi
decay and fill the soil with just sue
compounds as the growing crops eI
in need of. And, besides, all weed
and trash plowed under or used fo
filling gullies loosen up the soil fo
better air peAetration and for benei
cial bacte:.um life and activity, thu
rendering a double service in maxim
the soil more fertile.
The farmer who maintains and il
creases the fertility of the soil /
tends must use every means for gi
ing back to the soil large amounts
waste vegetable matter.
This can be done most economical
by making weeds, brush and all ma
ner Of trash contribute their share

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots Of Water and Stop Eating
Meat for g While II the Bladder
Bothers You.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter 1t from the system.
Regular eaters Of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains In the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
rtomach sours. tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during The
night.
To neutralize these Irritating acids
and flush OF the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon Juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes q
delightful effervescent lithia-watel
drink which millions OF men anG
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases.-Adv.

FRESHNESS OF EGG
is NOT IMPORTANT
First Chicks Secured From Eggs
Allowed to Accumulate for
Several Days.

It has been known that in every
hatch some eggs hatch first. The
universal opinion, considered not an
opinion, but fact, has been that the
freshest eggs hatched earliest, but
correspondent of the American Poul-
try Advocate states that he has found
just the contrary to be the case. He
trapnests the hens from whom he
secures the Matching eggs, stamps the
number Of the hen laying each egg
upon the shell, and also stamps upon
them the date Of putting into the In
cubator.
Last season, little before filling
the incubator, it occurred to him to
mark the eggs laid that day SO as to
test out the theory of early Matching.
The specially marked eggs received
exactly the same care as the others,
but the surprising thing was to find
that the early chicks came, not from
the marked eggs, but from the others
and to cap the climax, the percentage
Of eggs Matching from the last laid
eggs was far below that of the earlier
laid eggs. If the late Matched eggs
had been laid by hens deficient IL
vitality, there would have been 6
reason for this, but the hens were al
tested breeders, and this explanation
could not hold. For a further tes
eggs were dated and 1t was founC
either that the date of laying made nj
apparent difference, or that eggs lait
ten days or so before setting wer'
slightly more likely to hatch earl!
than the latest laid eggs.

(By WILLIAM A. FREEHOFF0
Did you ever realize the large num-
Der of topics included under tillage,
such as preparation of land, seeding,
care of crop, kinds of crop in order to
improve the mechanical condition Of
the soil?
This is in its broadest sense, Of
course. The narrower view Of the
subject would include, strictly speak
ing, blowing, narrowing, cultivating
and rolling.
The advantages of fall plowing are:
It facilitates the putting in OF the
crop to have a portion of the spring
work done in fall; the action Of the
.rost and other elements tend to pull
verize the land; all soils, but particu-
Iarly stiff, clayey one, will then re-
tain moisture better.
When grass lands are top dressed
with manure, spring plowing, especial
ly on light soils, is preferable for the
following reasons: The work can be
done early; the coarser manure is re
moved out of the way of cultivation
the liquid will have had time to leacl
