APPOINT NIGHT WATCH

Last Sabbath we had a small blaze
in one of the blacksmith shops.
Some rags near the engine in the
shop caught fire some time Satur-
day and smouldered until Sunday
morn when it gathered such head
way that it's presence was soon
discovered.
With wood buildings ON either
side and livery barn full of
hay and horses next on one side,
and garage and gasoline next
on the other side,, the hazard was
great. To cap it all the town was
out of water and the engine at
the statiOnsMes broken.
The authorities are doing their
best to make things in a normal
condition.
1t is our opinion that night
Marshal should be employed; not
to prevent depredations, for we
have none; but as a simple means
to locate fires if any should occur
and give the warming.

that position until three years ago
when he was taken i'll of Tubercu-
losis of the lungs and was ad-
vised to go west for the benefit of
his health. Three years ago he
and his family went to Brush.
Colorado, where they spent some
time, but later moved to Denver.
where he passed away after much
suffering and being belfast for o.
ver two years. He was patient
through it ALL.
He was united in marriage to Miss
Meta Gregersen February u, 1911.
To this union was born daugh-
ter, who is now four years old. He
leaves to mourn his death a wife
and daughter; his parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Ludwig Hansen of Allan
tic; sister, Mrs. Nels Jensen, and
brother James Hansen, who were
all at the burial.
He was respected by all who
knew him and he has a host Of
friends who hoped against hope
for his recovery.
The body was shipped to Elk
Horn, Thursday, accompanied by his
wife, daughter and father. The lat
ter had been with him the last
two weeks.
The funeral services were held
Sunday at the Lutheran church at
Elk Horn. Rev. G. C. Kloth, pastor
of the church performed the cere-
mony assisted by Rev. Jersild of
Vigbord, South Dakota, and Rev.
Wilhelmsen of Kansas City. Kind
hands had decorated the church in
mourning and flowers and the re-
mains laid to rest in the local

.NELS. c. JENSEN
VISITING A DAUGHTER

Mr.. Nels G. Jensen of the Oak.
field Center Stock Farm wasa pas
senger going east Saturday morning
bound for Adair, to visit his daugh-
ter Mis-. Peter jacobsen, whom he
has not seen for some time.
Mr.. Jensen takes pride in his al
most two hundred young full blood
ed big type, Poland China pigs,
everyone eligible to registration.
For years Nels has worked hard
ON the farm, and nearly every
year has been prize winner at
the Great Iowa State Fair with his
fine hogs, and would seldom ever
fail to bring home the cream of
county premiums when attending
the local fair.
Nels came to Audubon county
about thirty years ago and he has
taken pleasure in developing his
home on which he has spent in i'm
prOvments alone nearly twelve
Thousand dollars. Consequently he
has one of the finest farm proper
ties that can be found in the mid
die west. MIR. Jensen has always
taken hand in the political game
for the pleasure it afforded him,
being a Danishman and not having
the franchise in Denmark it was
been to thousands of others, when
the great privilege of selecting all
our officials by popular vote, was
Offered all who became naturalized.
Nels has always been booster in
public affairs, broadminded in pub
lie improvments and always giving
support to public enterprises, and
is dependable in his promises.

BOY KILLED BY AN
AUTOMOBILE

William S. Rattenborg, the IA
year-old son of Chris Rattenborg
and wife of near Elkhorn, met an
awful death Monday. He was riding
a bicycle toward home and going
down a hill his hat blew off. He
stopped his wheel and started
back to get his hat when Mr.. Bon
nesen came up the hill, going
north in his car.
In trying to go around the lad
he swerved his car to the east, but
should have guided it to the left
it is claimed. The boys wheel was
seen to wobble and he fell direct
ly in front of the auto, which ran
over him breaking his neck killing
him instantly.
Mr.. Bonnesen is held under a
$4,000 bond.

HARRY A. C0VAU[I
NORTH BRANCH BOOSTER

Mr. H A Covault of North Branch.
brought in two car Loads of fat cat
tie Friday night and Saturday morn
ing.
They were started from their
feed yard at eight O'Clock Friday
evening and being carefully driven
during the cool of the night they
arrived in Extra just at the peep of
day, or about four O'Clock Saturday
morning.
They had delightful trip and
they came through without a blem-
ish. Hensley and Dimick bought
them, and early Saturday morning
as it was, when the bunch was
driven past John I. Hensleys's, that
dignitary was watching for their ar
rival, and of course joined in the
procession.
We think John |. did this because
he likes to be yelling; for the way
he yelled was equal to the Mexicans
down on the border.
There is no sleep in Extra when
John 1. is on the streets driving
cattle.
We nearly forgot to say, this
bunch sold for 1915 per hundred.
Perhaps that's what made oJhn so
happy.

The Third Cau.e of Infertility.

The Third Cause of Infertility.
Some time ago, the statement
was made in this column that when
Audubon County soil is found
showing symptom of exhaustion, it
is usually due to one of four
causes.
The first of these, as we have
since seen, is a lack of humus,
which may be detected by an in
creasing tendency of the soil to
bake and become cloddy.
The second is acidity or sour
ness; and one of the best methods
of testing the land to find out if
it is sour or acid, was explained
in this column last week.
The third cause of infertility is a
lack of nitrogen in the soil. Nitro
gen is one of the ten elements
which are absolutely necessary to
plant growth. 1t is lost from the
land by the removal and sale Of
Siops' II lueiS IS HOI enough OF
it in the soil, all plants are
stunted and all crops reduced. u
sually, but not always, we can de-
tect lack OF nitrogen in the
land by the poor growth and by
the pale green Or even yellowish
color of the leaves of the plants
that are growing in it. This, how
ever, is not always a reliable test.
A. better one is that given below.
If we scatter sodium nitrate, or
Chill saltpeter, which contains nj
trogen, upon the ground in which
corn is growing, we can tell by
the effect upon the yield whether
the soil is needing nitrogen or not.
If We find that the corn which
received the Chilli saltpeter yields
better than corn near by which did
not receive it, We know that the
soil is deficient in nitrogen.
Chill saltpeter is not expensive.
III you write to the soils department
VI JIG IOW q oldtS SOll6SS dI AIu6S,
you will receive list of address
es of fertilizer companies having
it for sale.
1t is not necess ary to scatter it
over the entire field but over only
two or three rows instead, though
the strip should reach clear across
the field. 1t should be put on after
the corn is up. 1t is not put on
pure but mixed with two or
three times it's weight of soil as
otherwise it may injure the grow
ing plants. 1t is applied at about
the rate of a pound to- the square
rod.
The majority Of the very best
soil men in Iowa agree that the
average reduction of corn yields
in the state due to lack of nj
trogen is at present between ten
and fifteen bushels per acre. On
many farms, even in Audubon Coun-
ty,, it seems to- be causing consid-
erably more loss than this.
