 ton picture business and operated the big machine in that theater for some time. The dazzle of the big metropolis finally died out and Glackin, homesick and anxious to get back to his friends, returned to this city, where he had learned the trade of pattern maker, and went to work at the Union Mfg
 Co. When P. S. McMahon opened his
 Empire theater on Asylum street,
 Hartford, he turned it over to Mr.
 Glackin as manager and he remained
 there for two years, when, becoming g
 ambitious, he borrowed $500 and
 opened up the Grand in this city. This was a small motion picture show house where Raphael's Department store now is. After three months the young managers account book showed just an even break and charging the lack of profit up to the "profit and loss" col umn he went back to the Empire the ater. When Thomas J. Lynch first 1n- troduced Sunday motion pictures at the Lyceum, MT. G1ackin went into partnership with him for the Sunday evening programs and when, a little more than a year ago, MT.

It is, therefore, necessary to always leave thin layer of ashes next to the grate. For this reason when shaking down a fire made of peaGcoal you must have the front of the stove open so that you can see as soon as red coal appears at all; then stop shaking.

An application of from 800 to 500 pounds of acid phosphate per acre will usually be sufficinet If a mixed fertilizer is applied. one con taining from to per cent nitrogen, 8 to 10, per cent phosphoric acid and 6 to per cent potash will give good results. The nitrogen may be had from cottonseed meal, dried blood, fish scrap, or tankage. The phosphoric acid may be had in the form of bone meal or acid phosphate. The potash may be had in the form of hardwood ashes, or some of the potash salts. These, however, are very high in price and hard to obtain.

 Turn Under Eeeumes.
 When manure is not available, some leguminous crop, such as cowpeas, soy beans, vetcF, or crimson clover should be turned under to supply humus and a part of the nitrogen. In addition to the humus added to the soil through the growth of these crops, the culti- vation necessitated by their growth tends to make fertilizing elements, especially potash available in many soils. The use of commercial fertil- izers is advisable in some cases, but owing to the scarcity and high price of both nitrogen and potash the use of commercial fertilizers containing large amounts of these materials is not adcisable unless these elements can not be secured through the use of manures. If sufficient land is avail able for gardening purpose sso that half the area can be devoted to legu- minous crops each season, good re- suits may be had by using very little commercial fertilizer.
 Phosphates Often Advisable.
