Rare Archaeological Find.

Not long since, while visiting a
gravel pit at Swarling, near Canter-
bury, England, in search of palace
lithic implements, Mr.. Reginald Smith
of the British museum, and Doctor
Ince of Sturry, learned that the labor
ers there had unearthed vases of the
late Celtic period, and their report
induced the Society Of Antiquaries to
pursue investigations on the site. A
fortnights trial digging brought to
light, within a confined area, no fewer
than 19 urn-burials, among them one
rich tomb containing six complete
pottery vessels, two bronze fibulae
and an iron-bound bucket. The style
Of the objects, which show character
istic native forms just beginning to be
Influenced by Roman models, dates the
grave approximately to the first half
century, A. D. Adjoining the cemetery
were found the remains of an iron
smelling and enameling works Of the
same early date.-London Times.

CLEAN UP BARNARD MANURE

stroy All Insects.

Keep barnyard manure, especially
If containing straw, cleaned up and
scattered on the fields to permit the
sun and drying to kill the maggots.
Stack the straw. don't blow it out in
an irregular loose pile. Build vertical
sides. Keep middle well filed and
tramp well. Clean up around the base
of the stacks and scatter remnants
If it is certain that the straw will not
be used for feed, spread 1t at once to
be plowed under, or If that cannot be
done. burn the stacks Immediately.

arranging things generally that the
hen would get back on the job of lay
ing eggs with less delay. An expert
enced New York poultryman declared
he had solved the problem by cutting
down very materially the hens rations
for several days. This was followed
by heavier feeding than ordinarily.
The menu, or the lack Of it, stopped
laying, and often resulted In melting
at once.
The results were not so satisfactory
as had been hoped. In many cases
the hens did not finish the mott much,
If any, quicker than If they had been
let alone. 1t didn't seem possible by
this means to control the time at
which the hens could be brought back
to laying. Egg production could be
stopped all right, but it couldn't be
resumed any earlier than usual, and
sometimes 1t looked as If it had been
stopped permanently. Obviously, this
wouldn't do.
One Of the chief attractions of poul-
try keeping is a constant supply of
eggs, let the feathers fall when they
may. So the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture doesn't advise any
one to try systems that seem in con-
fict with nature, who seems to have

MOST SATISFACTORY
ALFALFA Fertilizer
WelI-Rotted Barnyard Manure,
Free From Weeds, Is Best.
II Gives Best Results II Applied to
Soil Before Flowing in Order That

incorporated.

Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture.
Well-rotted barnyard manure which
Is comparatively free from weeds Is
the most satisfactory fertilizer for fall
sown alfalfa, according to specialists
of the United States Department Of
Agriculture. 1t should be spread on
the land before blowing, in order that
1t may become thoroughly incorporated
with the soil. Good results also fol-
low from heavy applications to the
preceding crop.
If the manure is not available. a
liberal application Of commercial fer
tilizers rich in phosphoric acid should
be made. The percentage of nitrogen
may be low, but some nitrogen should
be supplied for the use Of the young
plants before they become inoculated
and are able to secure their supply
from the air. On most clay soils
heavy applications Of potash have
not been profitable. A combination
which has been commonly recon-
mended Is muriate Of potash IS to 100
pounds. acid phosphate $50 to 500
pounds, and nitrate Of soda 80 to IS
pounds. The cheapest and most
satisfactory method by which the con-
sumer may obtain such combination is
to purchase the desired ingredients
and mix them himself in their proper
proportions.

Pertinent Inquiry.

The newest member of Miss Jones'
Sunday school class was lad whose
frankness was equal to his curiosity
in many matters.
On one occasion Miss Jones made
a few remarks touching untruthful-
ness and earnestly endeavored to i'm
press her charges with the necessity of
being truthful at all times and under
all circumstances.
Now the new pupil appeared to be
intensely interested in Miss Jones' re-
marks, and, after due reflection, put
this query to her:

said, lis it a lie If nobody ever kn0ws?"

BUSINESS OF VARIED RISKS
In Farming Weather Is Greatest
Factor, Fluctuating Prices Rank
Next In Order.

The farming business is one of many
and varied risks. The weather is the
greatest risk, weeds are another, fluc-
.tuating prices another, and yields per
acre, as they affect the margin be-
tween cost and income often measure
the amount Of risk sustained.

A SAD MISSION.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Davidson leave
Sunday for Washington City where
they are to meet the remains
of their son, the late Lieut.. JOS.
Moore Davidson, who was killed
in action in France, November 4th,
1918. Mr.. and Mrs. Davidson will be
accompanied on their sad journey by
Mr.. R. H. Whitney and Mr.. B. F..
Young. Lieut.. Davidson's remains
will be laid to rest in Arlington
Cemetery, near Washington City.
Interrment will take place on next
Wednesday, March 23rd.
Lieut.. Davidson was the only SOL
der from Tensas parish killed in &C.
ton in the late World War, and the
only white man from this parish to
give his life to the great cause Of
Democracy, and it is befitting that
some memorial should be erected at
this his native home in honor Of his
sacrifice and patriotism. The great
financial depression that has visited
tbs section, as well as every other
section of the country, within the
past year, has SO paralyzed US that
campaign at this time to raise a
fund to erect a monument to the
memory Of our departed hero would
be inopportune, despite the greatest
inclination Of possibly every man and
woman in the parish to be represent
ed in the worthy cause. However, we
live in the hope that another year may
be more prosperous, when our people
may find themselves in better posi-
ton to follow the promptings Of their
hearts, and the desire to perpetuate
in imperishable bronze the memory
Of our gallant young soldier may
have happy fruition and an imposing
shaft be erected on the Court House
square at st. Joseph as evidence to
succeeding generations Of the love
and gratitude felt by our people fo1
his unselfish devotion to duty II
