ARE GHOSTS REAL OR
JUST MENTAL ILLUSIONS?

There is deeper and more wide
spread belief in ghosts at the pres
ent day than at any time since scien-
tific methods of thinking came into
force, in spite of the opinion of the
man-in-the-street that such things
are pure rubbish" and that "medi-
cal science" has shown them to be
nothing more than popular super
stitions."
This you may really prove by a
preliminary census among your
friends. If you opposition them you
will be surprised to find how many of
them have had some experience of
the kind, though they may not care
to have it known, especially if you
are not sympathetic. ..
But nearly everyone has had some
sort of occult or strange experience
in his or her life, IL you question
them deeply enough, and this fact
was brought out by the startling
census taken years ago in England,
when it was automatically shown
that about 10 per cent of the aver
age population had had some expe-
rience of this character. This is as
tonishing, but it is fact. Ghosts
have, so to say, received the indorse-
ment of science to some extent.
But in this saying that ghosts ex-
list I must not be understood to say
that the ghost of tradition is with us
still. The ghosts which were semi
material beings and paraded about in
sheets, clanking chains behind them.
are no omre. Their place has been
taken by more etherel being, by a
creature which even our science can
accept. Thus, when say that ghosts
exist, or that such things as haunted
houses certainly exist, we must un-
derstand what we mean by these
terms and ask ourselves the ques-
ton, what is ghost?" And
what is haunted house?"
/ say that such things as haunted
houses exist. but ! do not pretend
that material phantoms walk about
such houses. tormenting the inmates
and making their lives miserable,
But that there are certain peculiar
influences at work in some localities
which cannot be accounted for no
one would deny who has much expe-
rience with these phenomena or who
has himself lived in a haunted
house" for any length Of time.

should be pursued. All Of these
problems have in the aggregate been
solved by the farmers. Farm manage

success with Turkics.

Many farmers, or rather the farm
er's wife or daughter, hatch the first
laying of turkey eggs under chicken
hens while the turkey will lay anoth-
er nest of eggs, sit and hatch the sec
ond lot. Many make a success of
this method but more make complete
failure says Charles McClave in Farm
and Home, as the young poults are
usually supplied with grain foods In
some form which are entirely foreign
to their natural supply in wild state
they become infected with life from
the chicken hen which, with improp-
er food, causes complete failure. BY
this method the grower is feebly try
ing to work entirely against natural
conditions of the turkey. If the in
tending grower must hatch with
chicken hens, use insect powder
freely, for the first three weeks OF
incubation. Never use insect powder
on the young poults when first hatch
ed, as 1t will prove fatal. After hat
ching with the chicken hen, isolate
hen and brood away from the chicken
to dry and sunny place, and after
80 hours old give a ration of hard
boiled eggs, oatmeal and bread
crumbs, also bread soaked in sweet
milk. When 10 days old add crack
ed wheat and a limited amount of
cracked corn, cottage cheese. and, In
fact, little of everything they will
eat, but do not confine in close quar-
tiers.
Animal matter must be supplied
for the young poults for the first six
weeks or longer If possible, which
can be provided in the form of ground
beef scraps, beef liver cooked and
chopped fine and fed in small guam
titles.

Experiments With Fertilizers.

AS result of several years ex-
periments in fertilizing meadow hay,
conducted by an agricultural station
in Ireland, it was found that applica-
lions of ten tons of barnyard manure
per acre gave satisfactory results, but
good returns were also obtained from
the use of 100 pounds of nitrate of
soda, 200 pounds of superphosphate
and 200 pounds of kainit per acre.
The superphosphate and kainit were
applied together before the end Of
February and the nitrate at the end
of March or early in April. The ap-
plication of kainit in the fall often
gave better yields, but not sufficient
to warrant the cost of the separate
application. Basic Stag is noted as
giving better results in wet season
than in a dry. Liquid manure was
found to give excellent results with
all hay crops in both wet and dry
seasons.
with potatoes the best results
were obtained by the use of 100
pounds of sulphate Of ammonia, 400
pounds of superphosphate and 100
pounds of muriate of potash in the
row in connection with moderate
use of barnyard manure.
Experiments in the use of seaweed
at the rate of fifteen tons per acre
as a fertilizer for potatoes showed
that weight for weight" seaweed
seldom produces as heavy crop of
potatoes as does farmyard manure;
muriate of potash generally has less
effect when used with seaweed than
when applied with drug; seaweed
gives the best results on light soils
and possibly in dry season.

Grain Mixtures Compared.

&c In an experiment carried on by the
Pennsylvania station to determine
whether there was any appreciable
difference in milk yield due to the
character of the feeds, when so mixed
as to have the same protein to energy
ratio but derived from different
sources, six lots of three cows each
were fed during three periods Of
four weeks each by the reversal
method, three different grain mix
lures having the same ratio Of pro-
TEN to energy. The greatest differ
ence in milk. yield for the periods
covered was 25-10Oths of a pound of
milk per COW per day, in the next
11-1OOths of a pound, and in the
third 5-1O0ths of pound per COW
per day. In other words, for all
practical purposes one mixture was
as efficient as another in this expert
ment, so far as milk yield was con-
cerned, but there was marked,
difference in cost of energy per 10
pounds in the several mixtures.
The least expensive mixture was
corn and cob meal, cotton-seed meal,
distillers' dried grains. and gluten
feed 4.25:1:3:1, having ratio of
protein to energy of 1:5 and costing
per 100 pounds of energy $1.79.

Some Pointers On Ground Lime

Farmers who contemplate the us
ing of ground limestone in the i'm
provement of their soils will do well
to begin their planning now. There
seems to be little doubt that the best
way to use limestone is to apply it a
year or two ahead of the clover,
which it is expected to benefit more
than any other crop, in the rotation,
according to authorities at the Ex-
pertinent Station. fN
1t seems that the. logical place to
apply limestone in the rotation is on
the ground to be planted to corn. The
cultivation of the corn helps to dis
tribute the material more thoroly in
the soil, which is an important con-
sideration. Limestone will usually
increase the yield of corn on land
that is in need of lime.
On land deficient in PHOSPHORUS,
limestone and phosphates used to-
gether, generally may be expected to
give more profitable results than
either used alone. V 'sL r r't
The fact that the use of limestone
or any lfertilizing materials give a
profitable increase should not lead
the farmer to believe their use suf-
ficient for maintaining the fertility of
the soil. * lN. 5 ,ua.afh
Catch. crops and cover crops of
cowpeas, crimson clover, vetch and
rye should be used where practicable
and all the manure and litter of the
farm should be saved, for the largest
problem of the Kentucky farmer is
the maintenance of vegetable matter
(humus) and nitrogen. Increased
yield due to the use of limestone and
fertilizers should mean increased
vegetable matter returned to the soil.
It is a mistake to wait until seed
ing time to make plans for the use of
limestone and fertilizers.

The Fiye-Cent Egg.

We would like to see new-laid
eggs, from we'll fed, well kept hens,
selling at cents each at retail the
year around. 1t is reasonable price
and one that delivers unusual value
for the price, says the American Poul-
try Journal. II the value of eggs as
food was properly appreciated, If the
buying public understood the worth
of an egg from fiocks kept under sani-
tary conditions and fed on wholesome
foods, If they had more confidence in
the quality of eggs, and producers
generally knew more about what it
costs to produce eggs, we believe
that II would be a comparatively
easy matter to get so cents dozen
for new-laid eggs the year around.
In an article ION the Trail of the
&c Egg" in the Sunday Magazine, e.

Eggs at 81 dozen or even more
are not beyond the range of possibili-
ties unless poultry keepers learn to
coax more eggs out of their hens.
"Sixty cents dozen has come to

eggs. Certainly they cannot be sold
for les at profit. Five cents We as
