Sudden Retreat Of an Army
Is Often Reduced to Chaos
And the Resultant Disorder

Moving great army is an affair
of timetables. There is room for only
a certain amount of men and mate
rial on the roads and railways at one
time, and every man and every
wagon above that maximum becomes
a factor Of confusion and retards the
movement of the whole mass to a
dangerous degree" writes G. Ward
Price in the Century. "The sudden
retreat of an army is often reduced
to chaos, first, because thoroughly
worked out plan of general retirement
exists but rarely in the strOng-bOxes
Of any general staff, and, secondly,
because in the absence of timetable
drawn up in detail and strictly en-
forced, the elementary principle Of
self-preservation leads every unit of
just as quickly as it can get trans
portatiOn. This is not to say that
confusion is an invariable indication
o1 personal panic bit it is very nat
ural, and even very proper, that every
battery commander, the director of
every military store and depot, and
the leader of every body of troops
which is not definitely ordered to re-
main, should have the individual de-
termination that his particular COM
mand shall not fall into the hands Of
the enemy.
1.-THE artillery officer firmly resolves
that he will save his guns at all
costs; the heads of thessupply depart
ments are in charge of valuable stores
which their army needs for it's very
existence and which would be Of great
aid to the enemy if captured, and the
troop leader naturally argues that it
would be futile to allow his men to
be cut off when a general retreat has
been ordered. So If the organization
Of withdrawal is left to the discre-
ton of the people involved in It, as
it has to be when the whole thing has
not been deliberately arranged before
hand, confusion is almost inevitable"

WHERE MANURE YIELDS MOST

Where Fertilizer Is Placed on
Poorest Soils.

Greatest profits may be expected
from a ton Of manure when 1t Is used
on the poorest soil on the farm.
The value of ton of manure when
used on soils of different fertility Is
Illustrated by two series Of plots at the
Ohio experiment station. Corn with
out any fertilizer or manure has Yield
ed 1907 bushels per acre for IL years
In rotation Of corn, oats and clover
In another series not more than 40
rods away, the yield Of corn for ID
years has averaged only 35.17 bushels,
the other crops Of the rotation being
wheat and clover. Originally the land
was the same, but Its treatment previ-
Gus to the time these experiments be-
gan made this difference in fertility.
Eight tons of barnyard manure with
800 pounds of raw phosphate rock per
acre has produced an Increase In corn
yield of 3O.9S bushels on the poorer
soil. On the rich land the same appli-
cation with 1000 pounds Of raw phos-
phate rock has increased the corn crop
only 1889 bushels per acre, even though
three times as much Of the phosphorus
carrier was added. The total yield on
the manure land has been nearly the
same in both cases.

CURING AND STORING SEEDS
Soy Bean Spoils Rather Easily Unless
Properly Handled-Avoid Heat
Ing and Molding.

Soy bean seed spolls rather easily II
not properly handled, and care should
be used in curing and storing. After
threshing the beans should be watched
carefully to avoid heating and mold
ing. When good and dry there is no
such danger. A good plan is to spread
the beans out N the floor immediate
ly after threshing and shovel them
over from time to time until they are
thoroughly dry, then they may be safe
ly be put into socks or bins. The store
room should be dry and have free
circulation of air. Soy bean seed loses
vitality very rapidly and 1t is not safe
to hold seed for planting purposes for
more than two seasons.

Silverinq Mirrors.

This Is by no means an easy busi-

the mirror face downward on table
and clean off the part to be silvered
by rubbing it with a pledget Of clean
cotton. Now spread over the spot a
piece of tinfoil, little larger than the
part to be repaired and, after spread
ing 1t out carefully and smoothly, let
drop on the center Of 1t drop Of me-
talic mercury, and with a piece OF
chamois rub the foil until 1t becomes
brilliant. Now place over the new
amalgam sheet of smooth writing pa
per, and pile books, or weights Of any
kind upon 1t, and leave over night. The
amount of mercury to be used should
correspond as nearly as possible to
three drachms to the square foot Of

WORMS IN HOGS

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Intestinal worms are common In
hogs and are particularly injurious to
growing pigs. Insutiiclently fed, neg
lected pigs living in dirty pens and
yards, fed from filthy troughs, drinking
contaminated water, bathing in old hog
wallows, and roofing and sleeping in
manure piles and stack bottoms soon
become infested with worms. Such
pigs do not thrive, but develop into
pot-bellied, profitless runts. Pens.
should be kept clean and dry and the
manure frequently removed.
Mixtures containing charcoal, cop
peras, etc, are believed by some to be
of value as prcventives and destroy
erS of worms, but their usefulness
probably depends upon their general
effect on the condition of the pig and
not upon their action on the worms.
Other things being equal, pig in
good condition is better able to re-
sist the attacks of worms than one that
Is not in good condition. Mineral mix
lures may, therefore, by helping to bal

powers of resistance to the i'll effects
