Oldest Fertilizer Plots.

The oldest fertilizer experiments In
he United States are at the Pennsylvania
State College. They have been run for
3S years, having been started in 1881 by
w. h. Jordan, and are second In age
only to the famous Rothamstead tests In
England. Four tiers of 36 plots each
are used In four-year rotation OF corn,
oats, wheat and mixed clover and timo-
thy. Thus on the four tiers are grown
each year all four crops for every treat
ment. Each plot contains an eighth OF
an acre. Every rotation of four plots
has been given the same individual treat.
ment for the last 38 years to obtain facts,
not only on the value of certain fer
tilizers on certain crops, but to find out
The permanent effects of long-continued
application of various forms of plant
food. The results of no fertilizer are
compared with complete fertilizers, in
complete fertilizers and different forms
of nitrogen and lime in crop production.
Often the effects during the first few
years are different from the effects of
the same treatment continued for ID or
20 years.
The long duration of the Pennsylvania
experiments has given them high
value to soil experts and scientists inter-
ested In plant nutrition. Not only the
chemical, but the physical condition of
the soil is altered by the application Of
various combinations of plant food.
Sometimes these conditions are bettered; /;
sometimes they are made less favorable
to plant growth. The soil there is q

COAST OVER cosBLE STONES
Sport In Madeira Has Many Advah
tages Over That to Which North.
erners Are Accustomed.

Cobble stones may not appeal to the
uninitiated as Ideal for coasting pur.
poses, but they admirably serve the
purpose. It all depends on how steep
is the hill the cobbles pave. In other
words, 1t isn't the material that makes
the "slide," but the pitch Of the slope.
Those Of US who are accustomed to
sliding down snow-clad hills, or tiny
ascents made slippery by Ice know Lit.
tie Of the thrill slide may possess.
For some measure of the delight In the
sport Is frequently minimized by the
frigid air that rushes past our tingling
ears and some measure Of the enjoy.
ment Is entirely lost by the chills that
grip our shivering bodies.
Tmagine-if you can-the thrill Of
coasting down a hill so steep that your
"sled" flies over the cobbles much as
is would speed over crusted snow or an
Ice glare. Instead Of Icy air that al.
most chills you to the marrow at the
thought, picture yourself in springtime
garments and famed by summer
breezes.
If you can imagine such a picture
you will have enjoyed at least some
part of the sport Of coasting In an
island where there Is no snow or Ice.
Down the cobble-paved road the "sled"
flies. For ten minutes you flash along
in breath-taking rush, then you begin
to grow accustomed to the speed and
the novelty Of the sport and you take
time to look about you. But-lIke most
other enjoyments-just as you're begin
ming really to enjoy 1t to the utmost
your coasting ends.
Where is this extraordinary slide?
On the island of Madeira, which be-
longs to Portugal. and lies in the At
lantic ocean, off the coast Of Morocco.

How a Hero Died.

A dramatic incident in which he
roic young officer faced death In SOL
dierly manner Is the climax Of true
story that recently appeared In Stars
and Stripes, the official newspaper OF
the American eXpeditionary forces.
He was Francis NJ. Leahy Of Law.
renee, Massachusetts, and he had
served in the ranks before he won his
commission. He used to tell Of the
days when he was orderly to Captain
Pershlng in the Philippines. One day
while he was resting with his men by
the wayside German shell came
whizzing out Of space just as the order
arrived that the regiment fall in and
move on.
The shell plowed up the earth and
stretched on the ground several men
who were just getting to their feet.
It hit the tree against which Captain
Leahy was leaning and snapped 1t of
like stalk Of asparagus. A piece OF
shell struck him in the back and tore
its way through his chest.
"Good-by, boys" he said. and his
head sagged forward.
Then it was us If, somewhere In the
universe, an invisible commander had
called, Attention." Captain Leahy
raised his head. With clearing voice
he called the name of the officer next
In command.
Lieutenant Hansen" he said; "the
command Is Forward! See the boys
through!"
Then he died.

sweet corn, potatoes and apples.
Seven acres of sweet corn were raised

ground.
The apple crop comprised 400 barrels
among which was 200 barrels of extrs

Recipient Of Old Honor.

Prince Ferdinand Radziwlll, who re-
Gently presided at the opening OF the
new Polish parliament, Is distant
relative Of the Hohenzollerns and one
Of the pillars of the old Polish nobility.
The honor accorded Prince Radziwill
was declared to be absolutely without
political significance, but entirely a
matter of custom. The prince came
into the temporary presidency by rea'
son of seniority only. He Is eighty
five years old and Is the oldest member
on the floor of parliament. BY virtue
of similar custom the youngest two
members of the house. socialist and
Catholic priest, neither OF them more
than twenty-five years old. acted as
vice presidents and sat to left and right
of the old nobleman all through the
first session. assisting him In the carry.
