SOIL PLANT FOODS REMOVED
Experiments Add Valuable Information
for Farmer In Use Of Commercial
Fertilizer.

A great many experiments, care
fully controlled, have been made to
determine the amount Of soil plant
food removed by crops, and while
in a general way they are more in
teresting than practically instructing
for the average farmer, yet they add
valuable information along the line
of the use Of commercial fertilizers.
The results obtained from the corn
experiments show an average use by
full crops Of SO pounds of nitrogen, 80
pounds Of phosphoric acid, and 78 40
pounds of potash. The husking corn
uses more nitrogen in proportiontthan
the ensilage corn, but this is no doubt
due to the prolonged feeding season,
developing and ripening the ears, the
ensilage being cut in green stage.
There is, however, quite wide range
shown in some Of the tests, which is
apparently due to the greater avail
ability Of the soil ingredients. For
instance, in full crops of both en-
silage and husking corn its potash
has been shown varying from 60 to
100 pounds to the acre of crops, while
the nitrogen and phosphoric acid main
tain their level average.

WEEylL IN BEANS AND PEAS
Eees ef Insects Are EaslIy Destroyed
BY Fumloatlon and Dlsalphids
of Carbon.

The weevil which makes the buggy
beans and peas lays its eggs in the
maturing beans and peas in the pod
during the late summer. The eggs
are not recognized by the naked eye.
and they do not generally hatch until
some time after harvest. The eggs are
easily and quickly destroyed by fumi-
cation and bisulphide of carbon, with
out injury to the beans or peas.
Place the beans or peas in an air
tight vessel-a stone crock, barrel,
box or bin. Place shallow dish on
top Of the beans, and in this pour a
quantity of bisulphide Of carbon,
which is heavy, colorless liquid. hav-
ing vile smell. The fumes are heavy
and will quickly sink through the mass
to the bottom. They are explosive, SO
one must be careful not to bring q light
In contact with them.
Cover the vessel quickly and leave
1t for "a hours. A tablespoonful will
be enough to fumigate the contents
Of a fve-gallon jar and one ounce is
enough for two bushels. All beans
and peas should be treated in this
way, after which they can be kept
for an indefinite period without in
jury.

MOST EFFECTIVE ROAD TOOL
Drag Can Be Used In Maintaining Pub
lie Highways-They Are Easily
and cheaply Made.

The most effective tool which can be
used in the maintenance of earth roads
Is the road drag. The first drags were
made more than 80 years ago, but it is
only during the last few years that
they have come into general use. They
are easily and cheaply made, easily
operated and accomplish wonders If
properly used. Every mile Of earth
road in the state Of Texas should be
maintained with drag, and If the
time and money wasted under the pres
ent system Of working the roads"
(this does not mean that all time and
money SO spent are wasted) were used
in dragging the roads, our states
would have some of the best earth
roads in America.

GROW LARGE CROPS OF OATS
Farmer Should Provide Feed for
Horses, Sheep, Cows and Other
Stock-PIan 10 Outlined.

The farmer who raises horses and
sheep, feeds dairy cows and fattens
beef cattle, annually should grow
large crops Of oats. They should get
ripe enough to be cut and bound by
the binder, SO when dried out in the
shock the sheaves will not mold when
stored in the barn. These things at
tended to, with some kind Of power
and a modern straw cutter in the
barn, the entire crop, as needed,
should be cut up quite fine and fed.
Fed in this way, the stock eats up al
most all the straw, and the grain en-

CHAPTER VII.

Joan.
On the edge of the cedar and spruce
forest old Pierre Radisson built the
fire. he was bleeding from dozen
wounds, where the fangs Of the wolves
had reached to his flesh, and he felt in
his breast that old and terrible pain, of
himself. He dragged in log after log,
piled them on the fire until the flames
leaped up to the crisping needles of
the limbs above, and heaped supply
close at hand for use later in the night.
From the sledge Joan watched him,
still wild-eyed and fearful, still trem-
bling. She was holding her baby close
to her breast. Her long heavy hair
smothered her shoulders and arms in
dark lustrous veil that glistened and
rippled in the freight when she
moved. Her young face was scarcely
a woman's tonight, though she was a
mother. She looked like child.
Old Pierre laughed as he threw down
the last armful Of fuel, and stood
breathing hard.
ut was close, ma cherie," he painted
through his white beard. "We were
nearer to death out there on the plain
than we will ever be again, I hope. But
we are comfortable now, and warm.
Eh? You are no longer afraid7"
He sat down beside his daughter,
and gently pulled back the soft fur
that enveloped the bundle she held in
her arms. He could see one pink cheek
of baby Joan. The eyes Of Joan, the
mother, were like stars.
ut was the baby who saved u.s." she
whispered. '"The dogs were being torn
to pieces by the wolves, and saw them
leaping upon you, when one of them
sprang to the sledge. At first thought
it was one Of the dogs. But it was a
wolf. He tore once at us, and the bear-

holding out his hands to the warmth.
"They often wander away from the
posts, and join the wolves, have had
dogs do that. Ma cherie. dog is dog
all his life. Kicks, abuse, even the
wolves cannot change him-for long.
He was one Of the pack. He came with
them-to kill. But when he found

HE fought for u.s." breathed the
girl. She gave him the bundle. and
stood up. straight and tall and slim in
the freight. "He fought for us-and
he was terribly hurt" she said. II saw
him drag himself away. Father, If he
is out there-dying-"
Pierre Radisson stood up. He
coughed in shuddering way, trying to
stifie the sound under his beard. The
fleck Of crimson that came to his lips
with the cough Joan did not see.
She had seen nothing of 1t during the
six days they had been travelling up
from the edge of civilization. Because
of that cough, and the strain that came
with 1t. Pierre had made more than or
dinary haste.
II have been thinking of that" he
said. HE was badly hurt, and do
not think he went far. Here-take lit
tie Joan and sit close to the fire until I
come back"
The moon and the stars were bril-
liant in the sky when he went out in
the plain. A short distance from the
edge Of the timber line he stood for a
moment upon the spot where the
wolves had overtaken them an hour
before. Not one Of his four dogs had
lived. The snow was red with their
blood. and their bodies lay stiff where
they had fallen under the pack. Pierre
shuddered as he looked at them. II
the wolves had not turned their first
mad attack upon the dogs, what would
have become Of himself, Joan and the
babyf He turned away, with another
of those hollow coughs that brought
the blood to his lips.
A few yards to one side he found In

TROUBLE IN FINDING LABOR

Some crops require much more labor

What Germany Thinks OF America at War

the pacifist-democratic idea that the
mere existence of German militarism.
which has ever felt itself an enemy of
democracy, would prevent the pacification
of the world, would make it impossible
to terminate the competition of arma-
ments.
"These lines of thought" says the
Frankfurt newspaper, "are put forth by
several leading demagogues among our
enemies against their better knowledge,
and the masses Of the American people
listen to them in sincere alarm. In fact,
there appears to prevail to-day in the
countries of the Entente a war-psychosis
such as we Germans experienced only in
the first months of the war.
"The other reasons for going to war
alleged by the President and his friends"
says the writer, "were more or less
pure hypocrisy. AS to the freedom OF
small nations no great power has
walked over the small neutral nations

so brutally as the great Republic of the
New World. History will forget the rob-
berry of the Dutch ships just as little as
it has forgotten that of the peaceful
Danish fleet by the English in 1907"
But the paper thinks that there were
other causes besides the fear of Ger
many. "The interests of the war in
dustries," it claims
"and of high finance played a substantial
role. Then the wish of the exporters to
capture Germany's markets in Latin Amer
lea, the greed for the great German COM
mercal feet lying in American waters and
the conviction of mighty imperialist circles
that America should also have q popular
army, based upon universal military duty
which could never be accomplished in times
OF peace. Here, too, the latent opposition
to Japan undoubtedly strongly Influenced
Americas course.
But the decisive reason for going to war
was and remained doubtless the determina-
ton to prevent the victory of Germany over
the European Entente Such policy had
already formed in previous years the basis

blow the American hosts are to deal u.s.
For Germany now has obtained free hand
in the East, and that counterbalances in ad-
vance any possible help that America can
give our enemies"
Captain Persius, the well-known naval
writer, has also devoted an article in
After quoting from the Presidents ad-
dress to Congress the sentence in which
he said that America was going to war
for the rights and lioerties Of small ma
tions, Persius says that the great major
ity of the German people heard this with
painful feelings. Then he quotes, with
approval a sentence from the recent note
to the Dutch government regarding our
seizure Of Hollands ships, in which it
denies that we have been consistent with
our own maxim of helping the small ma
tons.
Persius says further, however, that
every practical political thinker had al
ready assumed that Germany's enemies
