Brave Women of the Sea.
From Pearson's Weekly.

From Pearson's Weekly.
One of the most remarkable cases Of
a woman's bravery at sea was that of
Mary Rogers. the stewardess of the
Stella. wrecked near the Channel Is
lands March 80. 1899.
The stewardess. after the ship struck,
devoted all her energies to serving out
the women and children with lifebelts,
retaining one for herself At the last
moment she noticed lady passenger
without one. and. without a word, she
unfastened hers and clasped 1t round
the others waist.
Even then the brave woman might
have been saved, for her deed was wit
messed by the crew of the last boat to
leave the ship. Though it was filled to
its utmost capacity with safety, they
implored Mary Rogers to jump in.
NO" she cried. III I get in. the boat
will surely go down. Goodbye" With
lifted hands she then cried: Lord have
me" And the Stella sank beneath her
feet almost Immediately.
This magnificent deed was commem-
GRATED by the late G. F. Watts. r. A.,
by a tablet in the city of London.
Another memorial to another brave
stewardess stands in West Ham ceme-
terry. The stewardess was Edith Led
eHhafH VI INC Aohd. "Hicn cduBnt ure
in the North sea September 16. 1895.
All the women and children were got
safely on deck save one little girl of
three.
Though all between decks was a rag
ing furnace, and II was obviously Inn
possible to save tho child. Miss Leden-
ham cried:
81 must try! It's my duty!''
When the fire was extinguished her
dead and charred body was found lying
across that of the lifeless child
There are scores of other instances.
Miss Kate Gilmour, the first woman to
receive a Lloyds medal for saving life
at sea: Mrs. Piggott. who gave up her
lifebelt to a passenger on board the
transatlantic liner Mohegan, wrecked
in 1898. and Mrs. Grimwood of Indian
mutiny fame are only a few of the
many brave women who have displayed
almost superhuman self-sacrifice in the
very face of death.

All love best what they know most
about. The more one is instructed in
horticulture the greater viii be his
appreciation of plants and flowers
Every exhibit should be a bureau of

knowledge. Every attendant should

feast of the mind as we'll surely will.
1t is evident that potash at the pres
ent prices is entirely too expensive to
be used in fertilizers. and the price is
ton of potash supplies in the country
which are now very 10 windeed. Fer
tilizers containing potash for the fall
trade will contain but very small
amounts and in many cases only
fraction of a per cent. In other words.
the potash content will be reduced to
a point where the potash. SO far as the
amount is concerned. is for practical
purposes a joke. One-fourth of one
half per cent of potash when fertilizer
is applied at 200 to 800 pounds per
acre will TAX less than pound OF
small an amount to have any practical
benefit. 1t should be remembered that
most soils contain an abundance of
potash provided it can be made avail
able. In nature. fortunately. potash.
like other plant foods. is liberated but
slowly from the soil. hence, it is i'm
possible to remove the entire amount
No. 20 of the Maryland experiment sta.
tion we find that potash in Maryland
soils is rarely less than per cent and
in some cases will be found to be as
high as per cent: the average being
in the neighborhood of per cent. The
problem for the Maryland farmer is
by making proper use of the agencies
within his control. by the use of cer-
tilizers other than potash. by the use
of lime when required, rotation of
crops, growing of legumes and thor
ough cultivation. to make available so
far as possible the potash already in
the soil.
Most vegetables need rich. well
worked soil. Having this and adding
thorough cultivating and care, any one
can have a No. l garden.
Getting rid of grass. weeds and un-
dergrowth about the farm during the
winter months Is one of the best pro-
tective measures against crop damag-
ing insects the following year.
Among the fruit pests we find the
peach borer remaining dormant during
cold weather in its channel and the
codling moth larva in a little white CO.

of the apple tree.

mated at 11.5 Per Cent In Past

reported the value of farm lands in
1910 as $32.40, and in 1900 as 1857
per acre
In recent years the value Of farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
of about 5 per cent a year. or approx
mately So per acre per year. The ex-
ceptional increase of the past year may
be explained partly by the reaction
in the southern cotton states follow
ing a temporary depression last year
and partly by the stimulus given by
the war to prices, particularly OF
grain.
Increases General.
Increases have been general through
out the United States, the only note
worthy exceptions being orchard lands

west. which apparently had been over
