five to eight per cent of potash. 35 to
40 per cent of lime. and shout two per
cent OF phosphoric acid.
The marked effect that wood ashes
has on almost all plants of the legu-
minous family seems to indicate that
the lime in the asares has more infiu-
snce in making the ashes valuable as
I fertilizer than the potash does.
Last year our fertilizer dealer put in
4 bag of fertilizer containing ten per
cent of phosphoric acid and six per
cent of potash at the same price as
what I was buying, which was a 10
per oent available phosphoric acid
goods, on condition that would use 1t
IN wheat and compare them side by
tide.
l put the bag of fertilizer. which con-
aimed the potash. In my grain drill,
md when 1t ran out I continued with
he superphosphate containing IA per
cent available phosphoric acid, with
out changing the quantity per acre.
There was no perceptible difference
in the growth of the wheat during the
growing season. The wheat ripened
by July 25. There was no difference
in the time Of ripening. l could see
little, II any, difference between the
wheat with and that without the pot

any difference between the two plants,

without potash was applied.
have not threshed. and cannot give
exact results. but 1t is a plain case
that the SO per ton which would have
had to pay for the potash would have
been a clear loss SO far as results on
the wheat crop were concerned.
Both kinds of fertilizer were used.
SO that both plats extended over a
dark loamy soil. with some sand at
one end and rather stiff yellowish
clay at the other end.
1t is usually considered that a loamy,
sandy soil is not as well supplied with
potash as clay soil, yet the potash
did not show any improvement over
the other fertilizer in the loamy soil.

Loss of $4,000 Caused by Hail.

Colorado Springs.-Damage estimat-
ed at $4,000 was caused here Sunday
when heavy hail storm, sweeping
east from the mountains. paralyzed
street traffic, broke windows and sky
lights and wrecked the street lighting
system of the city. The hail followed
heavy rains throughout the day. So
heavy was the fall that automobile
tops were broken through, street cars
were forced to halt and great plate
glass windows in stores were demol
ished. Every pane of glass in many
lamp posts were broken into frag-
ments, making a loss to the electric
light company of more than $4,000.
Skylights crashed in from the weight
of the hail. Every greenhouse in the
city was demolished.

vieted of Murder.

Milledgeville, Ga. July 19.-Leo NJ.
Frank, whose death sentence for the
murder of Mary Phagan recently was
commuted to life Imprisonment by
Governor Slaton, was attacked by an
other prisoner at the state prison farm
here Saturday night. His throat was
cut. Prison officials said that the at
tack on Frank was made by William
Green, who also is serving life term
for murder. The attack on Frank,
which was made shortly after II
o'clock, was made from behind and
precipitated a riot. The assailant
used butcher knife. Franks jugular
vein was cut. but neither the spinal
cord nor the windpipe were injured.
and the doctors say he has chance
to recover. Green expresses regret
for his act.

BE KINDER TO YOURSELF
Women Are Often Victims of Nervous
ness Because They Don't Know
How to Relax.

One Of the important things to know
In life. especially If you are woman.
is how to let yourself alone. writes
Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers
Magazine. The ability to relax, the
art of being judiciously lazy. the tact
to let herself alone has saved many q
woman from nervous breakdown.
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such state of conscien-
tiousness that she cannot rest. If she
lies down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts of the work that
she is neglecting
Much of the blame for this state of
affairs lies at the doors of the moth
ers. The mistake is in their training
OF their children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear
liest infancy to be kind to others. to
bear with them. to forgive them. to
help them; but from birth to death no
one ever tells them to be kind, also,
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more of nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make it. If
such women could learn to be kinder
to themselves there is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened; /;
and not only that, but the lives OF
those with whom they come in close
contact would be made far more pleas

ONIONS LIKE COOL WEATHER
Making Good start-WiII Not Keep
Unless Properly Ripened.

Onions grow best in relatively cool
weather and require an abundance OF
moisture during the early stages OF
growth. However. they will stand con-
siderable heat after they have made
a good start, and ripen better II the
weather is relatively dry at the time
they mature.
This makes them an important crop
in central and northern latitudes.
where the weather of spring Is cool
and moist. and a dry period normally
occurs in August or in early Septem-
ber. However. the season must be
sufficiently long for the onions to ma.
ture before the autumn rains set in.
or they are likely never to ripen prop.
erly.
Unless properly ripened. onions will
not keep. For northern localities 1t
is sometimes necessary to use only
the earlier maturing varieties.
The above statements refer to the
growing Of ripe onions. Green onions
reach edible size in a comparatively
short time. and can be grown during
the normally cool and moist weather
of early spring In central and north.
ern latitudes. As a commercial crop.
they are of minor importance com.
pared with ripe onions.

FEEDING THE YOUNG PoULTs
Coarseiy Ground Corn Mixed With
Milk Makes One Of Best Feeds
for Young Fowls.

One of the best feeds for young
poults is coarsely ground corn mixed
with either sweet or sour milk. or the
corn might be baked in a cake and
then moistened with milk before feed
ing.
One should determine as to whether
he wishes to use sweet or sour milk
and then continue to use the kind de-

change from one to the other.
This moistened grovnd corn is
gradually mixed with corn meal until

SQUASH INJURED BY BoRERs
Whole Patches Of Vegetable May ae
Destroyed by Insect In Few Days
plan Of One Farmer.

Some years the Hubbard squash
vine is badly injured by the squash
borer. The moth lays her eggs ON
the outside of the vine. and in few
days the eggs hatch into small grubs.
These Immediately bore their way
into the stalk where they live un-
seen and for a time unsuspected.
For a while the vines grow we'll;
then. as the borer continues feeding
on the inside Of the stalk, the vine
withers and dies. Whole patches OF
squash may be destroyed by these
borers in a few days.
In 1914 one farmer made tests of
early and late planting. The early
paintings were begun in April and
continued into May. Sweet corn was
used as a companion crop, with the
early paintings to furnish shade for
the squash vines, but every vine ex-
cept one was destroyed by the borers
in all the early paintings.
He made late paintings of seed
from June to July 20, which was
the last planting of the season. In
order to hasten the development OF
the plants as an Offset to late plant
ing, separate hills were prepared
Holes were dug from eight to ten
inches deep. which were filled with
rich soil thoroughly mixed with chick
en- manure. but he left saucer-like
depressions as an aid to watering
the plants in dry weather. This plar
proved very serviceable. as no rair

Notwithstanding the drawbacks o.

Western Newspaper Union News Service:
New York, July 2O.-The Cunard
liner Orduna, bound from Liverpool to
New York, with 227 passengers, in.
cluding % Americans, was attacked
without warning. It was learned on her
arrival here Saturday, by German
submarine on the morning of July 9.
Twenty miles from the graveyard
of the Lusitania off Old Head Kinsale.
the Orduna escaped the Lusitania's
fate by one-half second of time or ten
feet of space-the German torpedo
churning the water that distance be-
hind the liners rudder.
Then the Orduna sped away. She
was followed by the submarine, which
rose to the surface, manned a gun on
her deck and shelled the fleeing
steamer. Only the escape of the Or
duna prevented q repetition of the Lu-
sitania disaster which precipitated the
crisis between the United States and
Germany.
The attack on the Orduna was
timed at ten minutes to six o'clock in
the morning when all but few Of her
passengers lay sleeping in their
berths.
London.-An Austro German ulti-
matum to Rumania is being prepared,
according to the Moscow Russkoye
Slovoe.
Washington.-Into the grave situa-
that has developed between the United
States and Germany over the sinking
of the Lusitania, was thrust another
issue, when it was revealed that the
British steamer Orduna carrying a
score of Americans, had been attacked
by German submarine.
Should first reports of an attempt to
torpedo without warning be borne out
by the official investigation 1t was
indicated in official quarters that the
United States probably would regard
the incident as adding grave element
to the already strained relations be-
tween the two countries.

Lime In Wood Ashes Has Marked
Effect on All Plants Of the

By A. ]. LEGG.)
There is an impression among the
farmers generally that a fertilizer
should be especially rich in potash.
One cause of this is no doubt from
the marked effects that wood ashes
have on most soils.
A liberal application of wood ashes
shows an improvement in crop produc-
tion on almost any soil. This is usually
attributed to the potash contained in
the ashes.
An analysis Of the ashes usually
shows from four to five times as much
lime as potash in the ashes,
since wood ashes usually contain from

 Operation In Newark

A factory for the manufacture of canvass gloves has been opened in Newark by R. K. McHenry.
 The first gloves were placed on the market last Saturday and are of a superior quality to any glove of this kind eyer sold on the local market.
 At the present MT. McHenry is making only one kind and grade of glove, but as the business grows he expects to add other grades and hopes to build up an exten- sive business.
 Mr. McHenry will endeavor to supply the retail merchants in all the towns in this section of the state and will propably go on the road himself to work up the busi- ness.
 The gloves are now on sale at all the stores in Newark and everyone who buys gloves of this kind should insist on getting gloves made in Newark.

Don't Think Night
 Riders Sfarted Fire

A. C. Martin of Newport whose building near Oil Trough was re- ported to have been burned by alleged night riders some time ago, informs The Journal that he does not beleive the building was burned by night riders.
 It was reported at the time that the place had been rented for cash rent, but Mr. Martin states that the place was not rented at all at that time. It has since been rented, however, for the third and fourth.
 MT. Martin is inclined to believe that the fire was started through the careiesSness of some one. The house was vacant and he thinks possibly some boys had been in the habit of gathering there for a friendly game and carelessIy per- mitted the building to catch fire, or else some straggler stopped to spend the night and unintention- ally set fire to the house.
 Mir. Martin has never had any trouble with any of his tenants and does not believe that he has an enemy who would maliciously destroy his property.
