The latter was created baron in TITS and viscount in 1906, and before the American revolution was the owner of an immense estate in New York known as Upton's Pat ent. Viscount Tenpleton is also dis tantly related to the. Hohenzol1erns, his uncle, the second Viscount Tenn p1eton, having married Countess Chris tine von L4tzenburg, the i1legitimate daughter of King Frederic William IT of Prussia. After Frederic William succeeded to the throne of Prussia in 17s6 and found himself freed from the restraints which had been imposed upon him by his uncle, Frederic the Great, he gave himself up to his vo- luptuous incHnations. Mattresses and favoriteS reigned in the court and souandered the treasures of the state. The lovely but humble F'redrika Rietz was his best beloved mistress, and it was she who was the mother of the Countess Christine who became the bride of the Second Viscount Temple ton.

STEAM CARRIAGES

The first American inventor to at- tempt to build tthorseless carriage was Oliver Evans, who died in New York ninety seven years ago today, April 21, 1919. The inventive facu1- ty was developed in Evans while he was apprentice to a wh eelwrig ght, and before he had reached the age Of manhood the construction of land carriage to be propelled without an ima1 power began to occupy his at tention- After having invented de- vices which revo1utionized the man. ufacture of flour, from he made a con siderable fortune, he began in ear nest to set about the realization of his boyhoode dream of a steam carri- age. His attempts in this direction were not very successful but resulted in the first steam engine constructed on the high pressure principle, and the first steam dredging machine us- ed in America The latter consisted Of a flat scow 17f1h a small engine and when it was completed it was placed upon wheels and propelled it. self to the Schuy1kill, a distance of a mile and half, and was then fit ted with a paddle wheel and navigat- ed the river to it's junction with the Delaware. This feat was performed in 1904, and was the first instance in America of the application of steam power to the propeuing of land vehi- cles.

Henry Upton. who is now heir to the title, is also soldier and has been serving in France.

STUDY YOUR SOIL.
Farmers Should Learn the Nature Of
the Foundation Of Their Farms.


No doubt the farmers Of today would
be more successful if they would care
fully study the nature of the soil of
their farms, finding out what elements
they lack and going to work to supply
that deficiency, writes w. ID. Neale in
the Farm Progress
1t may not be necessary for the
farmer to have a knowledge Of chem
istry in order to make chemical an
alysis Of his soil to determine its ele-
mentS. If he has an observing eye he
can soon discover by growth of the
crops and the color of the soil what it
contains and what it lacks. After all
1t is not SO much what elements the
soil contains, but how much of nitro
gen, phosphorus and potassium Is
available for plant food.
For instance, nitrogen produces the
growth Of leaf and branch and stalk.
If the soil is rich in nitrogen the leaf
will have the heavy dark color, and If
the element exists in too great pro-
portion the growth will be rank and
grain will be light. This is especially
noticeable when wheat. oats or corn is
grown where an old straw rick once
stood.
Phosphorus aids in the formation of
pollen and brings seed to Il perfect ma
turity. If this acid is lacking the plant
will sometimes die before maturing
seed. Potassium supplies the starch in
the grain, and when this is wanting
there will be no plumpness, but a shriv-
eled condition of the grain.
The color of the soil also reveals its
nature. If the soil is dark there is a
great deal of organic matter in it, Or
ganic matter in abundance means
plenty Of nitrogen. Clay and light col
ored soils denote the lack of nitrogen
There may be some exceptions, but not
many.
The texture of the soil also indicates
its properties. Organic matter in album
dance makes the soil porous Mellow
soils contain plenty Of phosphorus. If
soils pack hard after rains it is the
evidence Of lack of nitrogen and phos-
phorus,

HOTBED PREPARE DNESS.
The Farmer Must Be Prepared to Grow
Early Plants.

Early Plants.
Preparedness Is just as important to
The market gardener as 10 the nation
writes H. L. Watts " the Country
Gentleman, If You EXPECT TO produce
early vegetables you must be prepared
to grow early plants, This means the
making Of hotbed unless YOU have

The size Of the hothcd pit will de-
penu, OF course, upon me number OF
plants to be started, With good man
agement from 5000 10 10000 seedlings
may be started under n sash 3 by
feet In size, In other words, two sash
will be sufficient merely TO start the
plants for an mere of early cabbage 1t
Is assumed that the seedlings will be
transplanted into the cold frame IN
about n month from the date OF SOW
Ing,
In Pennsylvania and New York the
pit should be not less than twenty
eight inches deep for the starting Of
cabbage and lettuce, allowing about
two feet Of manure TO be used, The
heat from such body Of fresh horse
manure will last more than n month,
1t Is customary TO line the walls OF
the pit with boards. Any Kind of In
ferlor lumber will do for this purpose
The posts, however, should be sound
and durable, so that It will he unnec,
essary to replace them for number OF
years.
The top OF the hotbed frame should
extend from six inches to foot above
the surface Of the ground. The total
width should be the same as the length
Of the sash, The frame should slope
to the south or southeast, and the up
err side should be six inches higher
than the lower side
Most growers prefer crossbars about
three inches wide to support the sash
and to give additional strength to the
frames.
If desired the frame of the pit may
be made Of concrete, the walls being
two and II half or three inches thick
T angle irons, the ends embedded IN
the concrete, may be used for cross
bars. This makes very durable and
satisfactory type Of construction.
