Our Growing
Sweet Tooth
Public Paying Highest Price 70,
Sugar Since Days Following
Civil War

The public Is paying the highest
price asked in this country for sugar
since the days following the Civil war.
There are reports from that time of
sugar selling as high as 80 cents a
pound, and that, of course, for an ar
ticle much inferior in grade to what
some persons have been paying "a
cents pound for within recent weeks.
But there Is this notable difference
In Civil war times the high price of
sugar caused noticeable diminution
IL Its use now, with the price four
fold what most persons consider to be
normal, we are using five times as
much sugar for each person as we
were In the year after the Civil war.
That year, the per capita use of
sugar was IS pounds. In the decade
from 1866 to 1875 the price material
1y improved, and in response the use
Of sugar doubled to 80 pounds per-
son. From 1876 to 1885 1t had in
creased TO AZ pounds. In the decade
from 1886 to 1895 the price of sugar
went as low, probably. as at any time
In our history, and for the eycellently
refined article. Then we were using
1t at the rate of 81 pounds person
eacn year. Steadily the use of II in
creased In the following decade, de-
spite somewhat rising price, to 81

POTATOES NEED PLANT FOOD
Most Successful Growers Generally
Make Application of Manure to
Heavy Sod.

To grow potatoes successfully an
abundance of plant food is required
Experiments at the Ohio experiment
station show that from 10 to 16 tons Of
manure and from 300 to 500 pounds
of acid phosphate per acre may he
used with profit in fertilizing potatoes
The application of fresh manure to
the soil just before blowing is asso.
ciated with the development of scab
on potatoes, so that early winter ap-
plcation of manure Is regarded as es-
sential. The most successful potato
growers generally apply manure to a
good, heavy sod, preferably clover, to
be plowed down in the spring.

TUBERCULOSIS OF CHICKENS
Science Has Demonstrated That Dis.
ease May Be Transmitted by
Swine to Poultry.

DR.. c. =. Fitch, chief of the division
of veterinary medicine ut the Mime
sofa college of agriculture, states that
science has shown that tuberculosis
may be transmitted by swine TO poul-
try and vice versa.
Tuberculosis in poultry is a common
disease he says, "and it causes heavy
losses. Fowls affected with 1t become
lame, their combs lose their luster, and
their flesh falls away. There is gen
orally rundown condition. tuberculosis
can be controlled by the removal of
infected birds and by thorough clean
ing up of their quarters. The disease

the eggs. Its introduction can be
traced usually to infected fowls"

SeaWeeds of Millions Of
Years Ago Resemble Algae
Now Growing in the Sea,

That many Of the algae or seaweeds
Of the Middle Cambrian epoch of geo.
logic time, some 25,000.000 to 30000,0O0
years ago. closely resemble the algae
growing In the sea at the present time.
Is a statement made. by Charles d.
Walcott, secretary of the Smithsonian
institution, In describing FOSSIL re-
mains of these ancient sea plants dis
covered by him in the Middle Cam
brian rocks OF the Canadian Rocky
mountains.
In the remote time when these
plants were deposited on the muddy
sea bottom the rock formations that
are now thousands of feet above sea
level, formed the shore line of Mid
die Cambrlan sea.
The fossil remains from which these
primitive plants were Identified oc-
cur as shiny black films on the
surface of the hard, dark siliceous
shale. The mucous or gelatinous
mass of the plant has been replaced
by a shiny black sillceous film contain
ing iron pyrite in varying proportions.
II Is evident that the original organic
and inorganic matter was removed by
solution and replaced by the black film,
the convexity and relief of the plant
being lost In the process and by subse-
quent compression.

On the above basis the first six hours
Of the clock represents Azolc time, the

the next six hours Eozoic and the next

of the 24-3,000,000 years of geologic

includes the appearance of human life
in the Quaternary period
This last division of the "a hours,

DELAY IN ORDERING
LIME MAY BE FATAL
Last-Minute Deliveries Can No
Longer Be Made.
Dealers and Manufacturers Should
Have Advanced Information as to
Farmers Needs-Transpor-
tation Is Uncertain.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agrlculture)
Farmers probably will not be able
TO secure lime to meet their agricul-
tural needs II they wait about order
Ing II until they are ready to apply It,.
Under Old conditions, companies sup
plying agricultural lime recognized
spring and late summer as the two
periods of demand, and farmers have
ordinarily ordered their lime at the
time they wished to apply It, in order
to save time and work by including
hauling from the railroad station and
applying to the land in one operation.
Under present conditions, lime manu-
factllrers are no longer able to ADJUST
their business to this practice Ow-
Ing to shortage Of labor in their own
plants and transportation difficulties,
disseminate deliveries can no longer be
made with certainty.
For these reasons the department OF
agriculture urges that spring needs DE
anticipated and that orders for lime
be placed at once. Dealers and man
ufacturers should have advance in
formation rs to farmers needs so that
orders can be combined and car space
used to the best advantage Delay In
ordering may result In failure to OBJ
tain the lime until too late.
1t IS, moreover, the desire of the
railroad administration that the sea
son for delivery Of lime which has
heretofore been from March to May,
be extended to include the period from
January to May, in order to relieve, as
far as possible, the existing car short
age.

THE MIDDLE AGE

Our youth began with tears and signs
With seeking what we could not find;
Our verses were all threnodies,
In elegiacs still we whined.
Our ears were deaf, our eyes were blind
We sought, and knew not what we sought
We marvel now we look behind
LIES more amusing than we thought
oh, foolish youth, untimely wise!
oh, phantoms of the sickly mind!
What? not content with seas and skies,
With rainy clouds and southern wind.
With common cares and faces Kind,
With pains and Joys each morning
brought?
All, old and worn, and tired we find
Lies more amusing than we thought!
Though youth turns spectre-thn and
dies"
To mourn for youth we're not inclined:
We set our souls on salmon flies.
We whistle where we once repined.
Confound the woes of humankind!
BY heaven we're "well deceived" | wot;
Who hum contented and resigned,
"Life's more amusing than we thought!
ENVOY,
o nate mecum, worn and lined
Our faces show, but that is naught;
Our hearts are young meath wrlnkled
rind;
LIES more amusing than we thought.

GREEN FEED DURING WINTER
Cabbage, Turnips, Beets or Potatoes
Will Answer Purpose While Fowls
Are Confined.

Green feed is necessary If best re-
suits are to be obtained with poultry,
according to the Nebraska college of
agriculture. During the spring, sum
mer and fall chickens that have free
range obtain enough green feed, but 1t
must be supplied to them in winter.
Cabbage, turnips, beets or potatoes
will do. Potatoes and turnips do bet
ter cooked, but the others will be
readily consumed raw If hung up
where the chickens can reach them.
Cut clover or ground alfalfa soaked in
hot water makes a good poultry mash
for winter.
