Americas Fighting Forces

The United States marine corps are
the soldiers Of the sea. Kipllng refers
to the marine as 'sailor and soldier
too"-an apt description. The marine
does not man the ship In the sense OF
sailing II. His business Is to fight on
sea or land. and. In each instance, as
a regiment Of the army might do were
1t temporarily detached to serve aboard
a battleship. The term Of enlistment
Is for four years. This Is the term Of
enlistment. also for the navy. No re-
cruit can enlist for a shorter period
unless the president should authorize.
Fundamentally. the difference between
the regular army and the National
Guard lies In the fact that the former
Is under the command OF the president
while the latter, until IL IL taken into
the federal service, Is under command
Of thezgoyernors Of the respective
states. when the National Guacd is
taken into the federal service, II be
comes, to all intents and purposes. q
portion Of the federal army and Is
subject to the presidents orders and
may be employed as the president
sees fit. either at home or abroad. pre-
cisely as he would employ the regular
army.

The purest Irish blood Is not to be

turtles ago 1t did an immense trade
with Spain that resulted In mixed mar
riages, producing sundry heads of

colony where the oldest Irish blood Is
still pure. This little group have mar
ried strictly among themselves, and
their stock is said to go back to Irish

entries in all breeds Of poultry, the
Centerburg poultry show is drawing

very fine birds have been entered and
it is thought that the contest for sew

show all the more interesting.
Judge Ira G. Keller of Prospect has
finished his judging and has stated
that the show is one of the best he
has ever attended, considering the
number of entries.
There is only one thing to regret,
and that is that there are no entries
Of rabbits, pigeons and the other
birds and animals that are customary
at the majority of poultry shows.

LARGE VARIETY OF FEEDS NOT
NECESSARY FOR HENS

That simple ration consisting of
corn and a protein supplement is
more economical under usual market
conditions than mixture Of several
different feeds for laying hens In win

Corn and meat scrap have given
practically as good returns al a ra-
tion OF corn, wheat, oats, bran, mid

hens fed the simple ration had ac-
cess to self-feeding hoppers contain
ing a dry mash made of eight parts
of ground corn and five parts of meat
scrap analyzing so per cent protein.
They received twice as much corn,
fed In equal portions in the litter
twice daily, as they consumed of the
mash, and also had grit and oyster
shells
The hens fed the variety ration laid
more eggs, but not enough more to
pay for the extra cost of their feed
Tankage and skim-milk, as we'll as

fed with corn for laying hens.

FlNENEss OF LIMESTONE

The effectiveness of limestone is
dependent upon its fineness as well
as upon its purity. Tests at the Ohio
experiment station indicate that lime
stone ground to the ordinary degree
of fineness is satisfactory for correct
ing soil acidity.
More than three-fourths OF the
coarse limestone applied in these
tests still remained in the soil un-
changed after two years. Material
coarser than 100 inch has little I'M

ing. At it now stands, the situation
Is this:
cleaning purposes the exceedingly
small sum Of $101. Ordinarily, there
is appropriated for this purpose
1. approximately $500 for the
half year. The budget commis-
sion failed to allow enough in this de-
partment to make the usual provision
for cleaning the streets.
There will not be enough money on
hand to pay the salaries of the offic-
lals In the health department. As
the ordinance now stands, ap-
2. proximateIy $1,000 Is appropri-
ated for the health department..
The salaries of officials alone amount
to $1,1a4, including clerk hire, etc.
The service department will have a
little less than $1,000 to do the work
of 5000. This is due largely, it is
said, to an increase in the sinking
fund and to the fact that certifi-
8. Gates of indebtedness, amount
ing to something like $4,000,
will have to be taken up.
The finance committee has given
the ordinance much thought and be-
lieves that it represents the best that
can be done under circumstances.
Chairman Charles X. Salisbury
stated to a reporter for The Banner
Thursday that the budget commission
cut the city's portion of tax revenue,
adding it to that of the school system
The condition in the service depart
ment can be remedied somewhat, Mr..
Salisbury stated, by issuing $4,000 in
certificates of Indebtedness. Although
something like $500 is appropriated
for this department by the ordinance,
1t will be necessary to use $4,000 to
redeem old certificates of indebted
ness, issued the past year.

most serious problem is presented,

Mr.. Salisbury states that 1t was
deemed necessary to insert these in
creased items on account of the high
cost of living.
Mayor Mitchell had requested the
finance committee to allow $500 for
rent of the Third ward engine house
which has become the property of the
Methodist Episcopal church. The
committee was Of the opinion that
the fire department may occupy the
house until April 1, rent-free, with a
rent of $25 a month from then on.
Accordingly, the item was not includ-

Ohio Experiment Station
Bulletins
SPRING FERTILIZERS FOR THE
WHEAT CROP

For wheatfelds not fertilized last
fall nor manured during the winter
the Ohio experiment station recon-
mends for application in early spring,
on nearly all soils that have been un-
der long cultivation, from 200 to 300
pounds of acid phosphate to the acre.
Nitrate of soda has paid for itself in
some experimental field tests, but the
present cost of potassium prohibits
its use this year.
In the stations fertility tests 100
pounds of acid phosphate has produced
increase In the yields of corn, oats,
wheat and hay worth more than 81
at ordinary farm prices. Nitrate Of
soda used alone has been Improbable,
but it's addition to acid phosphate has
paid well on Wooster soil although
barely sufficient to justify its use at
Strongsville, Germantown and Car
penter Substations. These materials
may easily be sown by hand in the
spring before growth starts and are
readily soluble in the soil for the
use of plants. Because of the limited
response Of wheat to potassium and
because of its high price this year,
the experiment station advises
against the use of this element for
the present wheat crop, and urges
farmers to preserve all barnyard
manure carefully to supply the neces-
sary potassium.
