1t was night when he approached
the wharves along the Grahoffen har-
Dor front. At their anchorage lay the
dim gray bulks Of the few battleships.,
belonging to Cortislaw. At one OF the
docks signs of activity attracted him.
A yacht, a long, clean-lined vessel, a
thoroughbred in all details. beauti-
fully equipped and apparently well
manned and Differed, was getting
ready to set out. Roleau looked at
it closely. 1t bore the royal ensign.
In truth, it was none less than the
yacht of royalty itself. =,
Good morrow, Sir" said Roleau to
the captain Of the yacht, before whom
he presented himself little later. Il
see you are setting out. Would you
take passenger, one as anxious as
yourself to leave this place."
The captain looked at this intruder
for q moment with none too much
favor.

he. 1--WE are leaving, it is true. but,

"Nor am under charter for the

By this time Roleau was aboard.

rather than knew that each Of them

that they must be ut or near the royal
palace. 1t was thither tRoleau at
length turned his own footsteps.
Discovered at last through the notice
attracted by his lack of uniform. he
was halted by an officer, who brought
him forthwith to the commander OF
the army, none less than Sachio, who
sat close to the king, watching the
progress OF the battle.

"YOnder somewhere, excellency,"
said Roleau, pointing toward the pal
ace.
"Take him away, lieutenant, and
keep him safe until call for him."
1t was thus that Roleau remained
for a time unobserved. but was ulti-
mately caught in the general rout OF
King COrtislaws armies. 1t was night
when finally the rout ended under the
walls of Grahoffen itself
Cortislaw was an old man when he
had started out that day. Since morn
ing he had aged yet dozen years.
Nothing was left to him! The end.
of his life's dream was at hand.
"Curses upon all things!" exclaimed,
old Cortislaw, at last, sweeping level
glance under his bushy gray brows at
his courtiers. "Once more they have
proved too much for us. 1t was my
one remaining chance" !
None dared raise voice against the
wrath Of the broken king. After q
time, he went on:

much nitrate of soda would have
to be used in order to kill grass.
These experiments seem to show that
nitrate of soda can be used fairly ex-
tensively without causing injury, for
attempts to kill grass with it were
unsuccessful except when such large
quantities as 400 pounds to an acre
were used.
Although fertilization is a splendid
thing for the up-keep of a lawn, it will
never entirely make up for lawn soil
that was poorly prepared in the be-
ginning. 1t is only when a lawn soil
is enriched with stable manure, lime,
and bone phosphate that lawn may
be maintained in the best condition.
Unrotted Manure a Menace.
Unrotted stable manure should be
kept away from lawn at all times,
the opinion of many to the contrary
notwithstanding. Stable manure con-
tains weed seeds and particularly af
ter the early growth of grass these
weed seeds will be encouraged to
sprout, for at this time the grass is
weakened by its Spring growth and
the weeds have additional impetus to
spread. A weed has been defined as a
plant out of place" Weeds are GER
tainly out of place on well-kept
lawn. Fertilizing materials have
great advantage over stable manure
as they contain no weed seeds.
There are other fertilizers beside
nitrate of soda that are most valuable
for the lawn but their use is more es.
pecially adapted to the Fall.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-02-11
Orchard Hints,

The bruise of an apple may not at
once develop into rot, but will make
brown spot which disfigures and
lessons the value of the fruit.
Many farmers who have been
growing fruit for years do not know
that the apple and most other fruit
trees form fruit buds in the late
Summer months.
Apples keep best when allowed to
hang on the trees until they reach
maturity, but that does not mean soft
and ripe. 1t is common fallacy that
green, immature fruit will keep the
best.
Promptly gather up and burn all
brush and rubbish In the orchard.
Any time in the year is the right
time to begin planning for an aspara-
gus plot.
Remember that the wood ashes are
the best kind of fertilizer for the Or
chard, lawn or garden.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-02-11
Ashes in the Garden.

Ashes indirectly increase the avail
able nitrogen Of the organic matter in
the soil. Besides the potash, ashes
contain other ingredients which are
OF value tc plants, namely, about
or 2 per cent Of phosphoric acid, a
little magnesia, and a great deal of
lime. The Importance of these last
named elements Is made plain by the
esteem in which leached ashes are
held by some of our farmers, al
though from leached ashes all but a
very small portion of the potash has
been washed out. The farmer who
wishes to restore potash to the soil
by the use of ashes should take great
care that they are kept dry and are
not allowed to leach at all. Many
housewives save their house ashes
and leach ont the potash for use in
making soap. They may now have
an additional reason for conserving
them, namely, their increased value
as grain fertilizer. But as has Just
been said, ashes to be used for the
improvement of the soil should not
be permitted to leach.
