How to Fertilize.

BARNARD or stable manure IS the pest
fertilizer because it furnishes both plant
food and humus. An application at the
rate of from 20 to 80 tons to the acre of
well-rotted manure is very satisfactory.
This should be applied after blowing or
working with a spade, and distributed
evenly over the surface and later worked
in with a hoe and rake. On many soils
it is advisable to apply commercial
fertilizer, especially phosphate, in adj
dition to the manure. An application of
800 to 900 pounds OF acid phosphate to
the acre is usually sufficient. If adj
ditional potash is needed, which is often
the case with sandy soils, this may be
economically supplied in the form OF
wood ashes. If the wood ashes are I'M
leached they should be distributed over
the garden, using 1000 pounds to the
acre. If they have been wet, or leached,
1000 pounds should be used. An ap-
plication of 100 pounds to the acre of
nitrate of soda may be used in the spring
to start the plants before the nitrogen in
the manure has become available. It
should be borne in mind that commercial
fertilizers will not yield good results I'M
less the soil is we'll supplied with humus.
Sod or other vegetation which has over
grown a garden spot may be used to ad-
vantage. It should be turned under with
a plow or a spade and will aid in tighten
ing the soil and providing humus.

Tabloid Aeroplanes.

The British reason, quite logically,
that the smaller the aeroplane and the
faster it can fly the less danger of it's
being hit by shots fired from earth.
So the British airmen favor an unusu-
ally small machine which they call the
tabloid" A very light frame is fit
ted with an 80-horse power motor,
which will drive the frail machine
through the air at the rate of 100
miles an hour. The engine is covered
with armor The aviator seeking to
drop a bomb on the enemy approaches
his target at a height of 5000 feet.
When straight above it he turns the
nose of his machine straight down and
drops at terrific speed. When within
500 feet Of the target he drops his
bombs as quickly as possible and then
shoots skyward at a tremendous pace.
