then comes the day of all days, when
we lay aside all care, and try, just
to be happy, and to make others hap
py This has been a trying year, and
we are facing what promises to be
hard winter and one full of prlFa-
tions.
We have had many calls upon us,
and we feel that we have been taxed
almost to the limit of our ability, but
surely as We count our blessings"
on Thanksgiving Day, we will find we
still have d little to spare. to make
the inmates of our County Home happy
on this, perhaps, their last Christmas
day. You may not be able to give as
generously as on former occasions,
but We can all give a little, and our
combined efforts will assure a happy
Christmas to those who are shut in
from the outside world, and dependent
upon us for the little sunshine which
comes into their lives. Please send
contributions as early as possible, so
that we may know how much we may
have to depend upon, and be able to
provide their little gifts before the
rush and hurry of the few days before
Christmas We have tried in our
Sunday services throughout the year,
and at all times, to keep from the in
mates as much of the SORROWS and
anxieties of these troublesome times
as possible, and with the help Of 9TH

happy. Please do your bit, in this
work, and help us with your contri-
buttons. Please send as early as

There are some southern chestnut
trees here. The nuts are not like the
northern chestnuts, and are much
smaller. l found quite number
pomegranate trees. They are about
the size of plum trees, and the fruit
is about the size of a plum. They
quicker up your mouth now, as they
are not ripe. They do not ripen un-
til light frost hits them. Will send
you some later. There is queer
tree here called the California Grass
tree. 1t looks like big bunch Of
ostrich plumes and is very pretty.
Well, l will take another ramble
soon and tell you about it later. If
there is anything you want to know
about the country, the people, dress

TO BALANCE MANURE.
Phosphorus Added to Barnysrd Product
Increases Crop Yields.

Increases Crop Yields.
Since barnyard manure is lacking in
phosphorus, some carrier of this ele-
ment must be added to make it bal
anced plant food. Crop yields are ma
terially increased by this combination.
Manure contains about ten pounds
each OF nitrogen and potassium and
only about two pounds of phosphorus
per ton. The phosphorus content is low
because the element is used by animals
to make bone ana milk. Commercial
fertilizers. on the other hand, generally
contain much more phosphorus than
either nitrogen or potassium. Crops, as
a rule, need phosphorus in largest
amount; hence some phosphate carrier
like acid phosphate or raw phosphate
rock is added to manure to give the
crops a balanced ration.
Wheat yields for eighteen years have
risen from 21.4 bushels per acre from
manure alone to 26.S bushels from ma
nure and acid phosphate in a three
year rotation OF corn, wheat and clover
at the Ohio agricultural experiment
station. Eight tons of manure is ap-
piled TO corn preceding wheat. Acid
phosphate is used at the rate of forty
pounds to ton of manure.
The 800 pounds Of acid phosphate
would now cost about 1895, but 1t pro
duced "a bushels Of wheat worth $50
at $3.50 a bushel. The corn yield was
also raised 90 bushels, now worth at
least $500. Glover was increased SS7
pounds, worth SAB. Six times the cost
of the fertilizer has thus been returned
In increased crop yields at present mar
ket prices.

WHY DO WE FIGHT?


(Rhetta O'Rourke, Mattawan.)
Why do we fight? "Tis not for fame
or glory,
Nor honored place in world wide
history,
Nor that the stilted page of classic
story,
May sound our nations praise from
sea to sea.
We fight that men may live and die,
In peaceful homes where war birds
cry,
No more shall turn their songs of
praise,
To minor notes of funeral lays.
Why do we fight? 'Tis not for bullying
Golfers,
Nor added lands to make our country
great,
Nor for the opportunity that offers,
A thousand trophies to our ship of
state.
We fight that JOY and peace may
reign,
That love may rule the world again
And men may live as mortals should
United in one brotherhood.
Lord haste the day when hate shall
lose dominion,
And men no more shall lust for gold
and fame,
When soaring high, on softly hum
ming pinion,
The dove of peace, world union shall
proclaim.
When right is might and justice king
And all the world shall tribute bring
To Him on whose protecting power
Our nation leans this crucial hour.
