INcENDlARY BOMBS.
Terrific Heat Of Thermite, the Stuff
With Which They Are Filled.

With Which They Are Filled.
Incendiary bombs are one of the
most fearful engines Of modern war
fare. The reason they throw out such
a terrific heat is because they are filled
with tbermite.
Thermite is so hot when 1t Is fred
that It win melt iron and steel with
the greatest ease and even burn its
way through granite.
This marvellous substance was dis
covered In 1902. 1t is really mixture
of coarsely powdered aluminium and
oxide Of iron. II cant be fired by IT.
self. but has to be started by another
mixture consisting Of finely powdered
aluminium and barium peroxide.
The wonderful heating power Of this
terrible substance has been made use
of all over the world In iron and steel
welding. Steel joints are welded solid
" together in a few moments by plac-
Ing little thermite round the Joint and
firing It.
The thermite mixture Is as safe to
handle or store as sawdust- safer. In
fact. Only the special mixture or a
very high temperature indeed win set
1t on fire. II necessary the two sub
stances from which thermite Is made
can be taken separately and mixed
when required. and there Is no danger
whatever In aluminium powder or OK

IS NURSE CROP ESSENTIAL?
Decided Difference Of Opinion Among
Growers Of ANalfa-Reduces
Baking and Blowing.

fBy JAMES MARSHALL. Colorado Elk
pertinent Station.)
There Is a decided difference OF
opinion among growers of alfalfa con-
corning the relative value OF a nurse
crop. Many are of the belief that a
nurse crop is essential TO a good stand
OF alfalfa, while others are of the opin-
ion that nurse crop is unnecessary.
AS rule, on sandy lands that are sub
Ject to blowing, or on heavy lands
which have tendency to bake. a
nurse crop may be of benefit. as 1t
reduces blowing or baking.
Oats and barley make the best nurse
crops because they shade the ground
the least. They should be seeded at
the rate of from thirty to forty pounds
to the acre. These should be cut for
hay so as not to shade the alfalfa
plants too long.
Unless the soil is subject to blowing
or baking 1t is not advisable. as a gen
eral rule, to use nurse crop, Under
dry-lAnd conditions nurse crop should
never be used, as the moisture supply
is too limited to sustain two crops at
one time.

MUSSEL MUD AS FERTILIZER
Organic Remains OF Shellfish Secure
Fertility to Poorest and Most
Exhausted SOIL

Consul Frank Deedmeyer. writes
from Charlottetown, p. r. L., Canada:
In most of the bays indenting the
shores of Prince Edward island are
found extensive deposits OF mussei
mud. so-called locally. being organic
remains of countless generations of
oysters, mussels, clans, and other BIZ
valves of the ocean, and of crustac-
erous animals generally. The shells,
usually more or less intact, are found
imbedded in dense deposits of mud
like substance and this combination is
a fertilizer of high value and potency.
1t supplies small quantities OF phos-
pilates and alkalies. An ordinary
dressing of it secures fertility In a
striking manner to the poorest or most
exhausted soil. The shells decay slow
ly, year by year. throwing off a fifr
of fertilizing stuffs. The deposits
around Prince Edward island vary
from five to twenty-five feet in depth.
They are taken up by dredging ma
chimes worked from RATS in summer
or from the ice in winter.
