HEN MANURE GOOD

in Farm Poultry. We took our potato
patch, just one-third of an acre. and
covered it broadcast with a moderate
coating Of hen manure that had been
collected from the droppings boards.
This was all the dressing the piece
had. We planted our potatoes, and
the following week hOed them once
with a horse hoe. This is ali the time
or labor that was expended on the
crop, except the labor of digging and
picking. The crop from this one
third acre was just $50 bushels OF
extra large smooth potatoes. and ten
bushels of small ones. The potatoes
were of such excellent quality that
they brought five cents per bushel
more from the Boston buyer than any
other potatoes in this locality. The
piece used was of easy access from
the free range occupied by the puliets
during the summer. These pallets
assisted materially in the crop. as they
kept the piece we'll cultivated" by
their scratching and kept away or ate

The first man to come up the Para

Cabot. He was looking for a channel
to the Pacific and had entered the Rio
de la Plata and sailed up the
Parana. When he reached the bord-
ers of Paraguay he turned To the
right and sailed up the Alto Parana
until he came somewhere near the
Niagara Falls of South America. He
then turned back and started up the
PARAGUAY He was t~wenty-four miles
below the present site Of ASnncion
when he was attacked by a band OF
Indians in 300 canoeS. He trained
his cannon upon them and drove them
away.
He then went on up past ASunclon.
where he met more Indians, who were
:. described as gentle and docile. Some
of them had bits of gold, and this
: made him think he was near the rich
+ mines of Peru or near the Indies He
. took some of the Guarani Indians
with him and sent them to Spain
. with a few of his followers. He
sent with them some of the produc
tons of Paraguay and begged for re
Inducements that he might continu'
+ his expedition. At that time TIN
wealth of Peru was pouring int
+ Spain. The government and peopl
were mad for gold. and h beaut,

CARB0LlC ACID FAMINE NEAR

Chicago, May 1.-THE United

The simplest and most popular anti
septic in use in hospitals throughout
the world will be an unknown guam
tity in America if the European war
continues six months longer.
Already the value of the drug has
increased tenfold and only few hos
pitfalls in the country have sufficient

year or longer. Many hospitals are
out of the antiseptic entirely and they
are unable to get it at any price. This
is true particularly of the Presbyterian
hospital in Chicago, which few days
ago discontinued the use OF carbolic
acid as an antiseptic.
