DEATH AND MADAM BOTHERED

n NE fine day in 1925, Herr Rumf, V respectable and prosperous wheel wright of Bremen, felt much like danc- ing and singing. He had become the owner of large handsome house in the Pelzerstrasse at an absurdly low price. The owner and occupant of the house, Madam Gottfried, had fallen into financial difficulties some time pre- viously, and had mortgaged the prop erty. The mortgage fell due, and she had no money for the occasion, so the man who held the instrument fore closed and offered the place for sale. Herr Rumf made ridiculously low bid and it was accepted at once.
 So this merry wheelwright felt that the occasion needed a celebration, and he went to his favorite gasthaus and invited everybody to have something. He told the good news, and was sur prised and grieved because nobody con their heads and seemed to pity him. Herr Kaufman, the attorney, finally indulged in plain speech.
 You have been so busy these many years," said he, that you don't know what's been happening around you. The house you have bought is house of death The undertaken is the most frequent guest Madam Gottfried has the evil eye, and wherever she goes people sicken and die. If you must live in that house, at least see that Madam Gottfried moves out. She may be a good woman in her intentions and in her life, but she is accursed."
 Herr Rumf laughed at such a story. He was a hard-headed, practical man, and didn't believe in the evil eye, or in accursed houses. So he took posses sion of the house, he and his family oc- cupying the two lower floors, and Mad am Gottfried moving upstairs. She made pathetic plea to be allowed to remain. She was a sad. lone woman, the victim of unparalleled misfOr- tunes. In brief time she had lost her father and mother, her brother three children, and had been twice widowed. The story of her troubles made such an impression upon Herr Rumf that he let her remain, and made his terms re- markedly liberal.
 She was fine buXom woman, of gracious manners, and possessing a sad, sweet smile that melted the hearts of men. Her hair was brown, and her complexion marvellous. Her teeth were snowy, set rather far apart and pointed Had modern criminologist noted her teeth, he might have been impervious to the appeal of her eyes. Her upstair rooms were handsomely furnished, and she had a fine library, chiefly of religious books, which she spent much time reading. Her piety while not obstrusive, always attracted attention.
 In a few weeks Madam Gottfried was practically member of the Rumf family. She spent most of her time |

three years we have almost abandoned
the cultivation of corn for silage pur--
poses, reserving it for the production of
grain. We are using for our silage com
bination now two rows of Kaffir corn
and two rows of 'Red-head sorghum. BY
this arrangement we are able to secure
crops which stand drought better than
corn, make a large yield and produce
very satisfactory silage, provided they
are allowed to virtually mature before
they are run into the silo.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-03-14


planting kafir corn and sorghum ana indian
corn and sorghum for silagc should they be
planted at the same timeg
We would plant Kaffir corn and Red
head sorghum at the same time for sill
age. If using field corn and Red-head
sorghum we would prefer to plant
the sorghum thirty days before the
corn. The sorghum as you no doubt
know, takes longer period in which to
mature than corn and if these two crops
are planted at the same time the corn
will sometimes mature and dry up while
the sorghum is in a green condition.
When sorghum is put into the silo it
should be practically ripe and as yOu
know this stage is not likely to be
reached until late in the summer even
when early planting is practiced. On the
other hand, the corn is likely to mature
and begin to dry up some time in Au-
gust. Therefore We have found it de-
sirable to vary the time of planting the
two crops as indicated above. OF course,
less difference might be experienced with
some varieties of corn than others which
take a longer period to mature, but we
presume you would be using one of the
medium maturing varieties of corn for
silage purposes.

ASHES AS A SOURCE OF POTASH
T. Il. W., Doerun Ca, writes: l have
about two carloads OF ashes from pine,
oak and hickory, made at a saw mill five
years ago. Would they be any good nov
to use WITH corn and cotton As potash is
very scarce this year, / would like to obtain

Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1916-03-14

Ashes made from pine, oak and hick-
DRY which have been exposed to weather
for about five years will not contain
much plant food, so little, in fact, that
we doubt If it would pay you to haul
them out and handle them. I.eached
ashes only contain 1 1-2 to 2 per cent
of potash ordinarily, which you see
would be only Is or 20 pounds to the
ton. Hauling them any considerable dis
lance would be an expensive and costly
undertaking for all the benefit you could
hope to secure from them. Ashes you
know, lose their plant food very readily
when exposed to heavy rains as must
have been the case with this material

If you mix together 1000 pounds of
cotton seed meal containing 6.1S per cent
nitrogen, 2.5 per cent of phosphoric acil
and / per cent of potash, and 1000
pounds Of acid phosphate containing IL
per cent of available phosphoric acid,
you will secure a mixture of 2 900 pounds
by weight containing approximately 81 8
pounds of available nitrogen, 1856 pounds
of available phosphOric acid and
90 pounds Of available potash. It's per-
centage composition would be go per
cent of available phosphoric acid, 300
per cent of available nitrogen and 1 per
cent of available potash. Probably you
could not use a better formula for the
character of soil about which you write
We think this formula would answer
very well for both corn and cotton.
