good was nullifed by the fight to kill the weeds
 Commercial fertilizers are now used and with much better effect. While the so-cailed chemical .ertiiizers cannot be used too long without affecting the soil, the natural manures prepared so that the weed seeds are killed can be secured very reasonably An ideal lawn dressing is shredded COW manure, dry, odorless, and easy to spread upon the lawn. working down among the roots where it not only fertilizes but mulches as well.
 Pulverized sheep manure is a stronger fertilizer and equally useful.
 Light dressings Of nitrate of soda in the spring give the grass a lush growth and dark blue green coi6r such as is seen around pasture droppiDgs in the meadows
 If the lawn Is kept clipped fairly short, it will not be necessary to rake the clippings, but they may be allowed
 to remain where cut and will be washed down among the roots by the rain and furnish a mulch which will be valuable l in the hot, drying days of summer. If
 however, the grass has been allowed tc get so long that a considerable length
 must be cut, it must be raked. Only
 the fine clippings should be left upon | the lawn.

The session of the four American dele gates yesterday with Secretary Denby and naval officials, followed by dinner conference of the delegates with Presl- dent Harding. appeared today to have assured full approval of the plan that has been prepared.
 Emphasis was laid today on the view that the arms conference was to be a clearing house for all proposals as to
 ways and means of arriving at sinita- tion or possible reduction of military
 and naval forces Each Of the five pow
 CTS participating in the arms discussion
 Is expected to enter the conference with
 its views and suggestions as well work
 ed out in afv .Dce as will be those of
 the American delegation. It is from this pooling of thought on the subject that officials here hope to see flow a final agreement.
 There was still doubt today as to whether It would be possible for the first formal session of the conference on limitation of armament 10 be held. as planned, on Armistice Day. November Il. There exists a conflict in time with plans for America's tribute to her un- ! known dead of :he great war on that l day. which has not as yet been solved If no way around the difficulty can be l found, the conference will meet first or Saturday morning, November 12. Pher, appeared today to be a strong posslbility l that it would be put over to that day although official announcement wa: withheld pending final attempt to ad l just the two programs.

USING THE COMPOST HEAP.

During these fall days, the compost. heap may be put into use and make way tor another one. A compost heap is one or the most useful means of providing fertilizer for the soil in the way of humus and has the advantage of costing nothing.
 If you did not start a compost heap last spring when you raked up the premises, it is a good idea to start one this fall with thp autumn leaves and refuse raked up from the garden. Mere ly pile up the leaves and weeds cleaned off in some convenient corner, wet the heap ond weight it down with boards. so it cannot blow away.
 Such heap started this fall will be ready to spade in during the spring and the heap started last spring except the recently added top layers will be suf- ficiently decayed to turn under this fall. It forms an excellent dressing for bulb beds and is particularly useful in raising their level above that of the surrounding garden for tulips and daffodils should have raised beds, four or five inches above the garden level to be sure that no water lodges around the bulbs to decay them. The same is true of hy- acinths. A six-inch top dressing from the compost heap Is exactly the right material and has the added value of furnishing hunlus and a cool root run in which these fall bulbs delight If you keep poultry, the compost heap formed with alternate layers of the droppings from the poultry house
 and grass clippings and leaves, makes
 rich fertilizer. This, however, should l not be used in bulb beds. but is excel. | lent for snaded in manure in other parts of the garden.

SENATE AGAINST RETAINING
 THE EXCESS PROFITS TAX

Washington, Oct 25.-The senate vot- ed tonight 39 to 27 against retaining the excess profits tax after next July 1 at the present rates. The proposal was of fered by Senator Reed, democrat, Mis- souri, who immediately afterwards pro posed retention of the profits tax at re- duced rates.
 Four republicans-Borah, Kenyon, La Toilette and Norbeck-joined the solid democratic minority in supporting the first Reed amendment
 Also without record vote, the senate adopted an amendment by Senator Tram nell democrat, Florida, providing that in case a taxpayer borrows money to pur- chase or carry federal securities, he may deduct in compiling his net income only the difference between the amount of in terest paid on the Indebtedness and the amount received In interest from the se- curities.
 Opening the attack on the proposal to repeal the excess profits tax, Senator Reed. democrat Missouri. declared this proposition was ''the most menstreus ever put bt fore the American senate" Senator Hitchcock, democrat, Nebras- ka told the senate that tine excess profits 1 tax had the same justification as the | SIduudlSu IilCOIIle laA. duueu LLlAL ne could not see why corporations making profits above eight per cent. upon the l capital invested could not pay graduat- l ed tax just as individuals. The senate swung tonight into the first of the long threatened night sessions or the tax revision bill
 1 Immediately after the senate conven-
 ed and before half the senators had set 1 tied in their seats, the committee amend.

 amendment increasing from s2,000 t S2,500 the normal exemption ailowe, heads of families having net incomes o
 s5.000 or less, was adopted without roll call.
 Senator Trammell democrat, Florida gave notice that he would later offer al
 amendment to this section proposing evel greater increases in exemptions to mel

New York, Oct. 25.-Total earnings of the United States Steel Corporation for the third quarter of the current year, announced after today's meeting Of the directors, dwind1ed to s1S,91s, ,06s. This is the smallest total of any quarter since March 1915, when earnings fell to si2,- 457,80e and no dividends were pssa on the common stock.
 / Regular dividends of 1 3-4 per cent eh the preferred and 1 1-4 Der cent on the common were declared, but no part Of the common dividend was earned ans only S15S of the s1.T6 due on the pre- ferred was available after payment Of interest on outstanding bonds.
 To meet these divedend payments the directors drew en the corporations un- divided surplus to the extent of ss,- s65,504, ag1nst the s4,571, ,s6s taken from the surplus in the previous quarter to make up the deficit in the common dividend.
 Chairman Ebert H. Gary declined to forecast conditions in the steel industry but today's statement indicated a turn for the better, August earnings far ex- ceeding those of July, with a further, though moderate gain for September.

Vigor and strength have as their base rich red blood. Blood is rich when there are plenty of red eorpuscles. They are the tiny red cells which swim in blood and give it it's color.

SHOULD FLAW NEW

SHOULD FLAW NEW
 OORCHARD LAND THIS FALL
 Every farmer who intends to set out new orchard next spring should plaY the land this fall With the press of spring work such as the preparation of land for the regular annual crops, the preparation of the new orchard land is commonly left until last and is done hastily and not properly. Fall blowing will get the bigger proportions of the work out of the way and will leave the land in a much better condition for early setting out of the trees.
 The prospective orchard should be plowed and left in the rough. It will break up and soften under the winters exposure and will be in fine condition for working early in the spring. A wig orous narrowing will leave it in proper shape for planting. In any case it should not be replowed as this will turn back the sods which were turned under this fall They will partially decay during the winter and will completely rot out during Nthe spring.
 While it is generally undesirable to blow steep hillside land in the fall, ow- ing to the danger of soil washing away, 1t is good practice to blow strips from eight to 10 feet wide in prospective orchard, no matter how steep it is. These strips should go along the slope, not up and down, There will be comparatively washing in them, but they will be ready to work early. The remaining strips which were left in sod may be turned un- der later and the whole soWn to cover crop to prevent further winter washing. Much of the suecess of the orchard depends on it's getting a good start The first year growth will be decidedly better if they are planted early. The best way is to get the land partially ready this fall
 Whether farmer buys his full spring supply IeoW or not it is good practice tc have a small amount CT hand and to mix it with the stable manure. It has an i'm portant effect on the manure and greatly increases it's value. The most important effect is in preserving the nitrogen in the manure. A small amount of acid phos phate sprinkled on fresh manure prevents i the escape of ammonia yapors, thus keep l ing the most valuable element in the ma nure, nitrogen, intact.
 | The easiest way in which to treat tn, manure is to sprinkle a little acid phos phate in the gutters in the stable. Thi. 1 will insure the retention of the nitrogen
 and will get the acid phosphate well mix
 ed with the manure pile. It is also 1 valuable help in keeping away flies a | they will not breed in manure which ha

BURN MELoN-AND
 CUCUMBER VINES

As soon as frost puts the cucumbers, melons, and squash vines out of com mission, gather up the vines and burn them.
 This will destroy eggs of the various insects which annually attack these plants The last of the crops may be gathered and taken indoors to ripen or placed in the sun during the warm part of the day.
 Squash and pumpkins should be gath cred before exposed to a hard frost Many gardeners are careless in neglect ing to gather them until after the vines are frozen. A heavy frost is 1ikely to spot them. and these spots are the places where decay sets in after they are stored in the cellar. When the leaves of the vine are first touched, it is time to gather the crop.

USE OF LIME.

The value of lime is becoming widely recognized and more and more farmers are using it. But the actual effects which it has are not well understood. The value of the lime lies wholly in the calcium which it contains, and the value of different varieties in which lime may be purchased depends on the amount of calcium which each contains, also it's availability.

You Feel Insured When You ra~e a
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet After Eating.


 People sometimes get the notion that the stomach has given out and their race is run. And yet it is often astonishing the relief that comes in such cases from taking Stuart's Dys- pepsia Tablets after eating This re- lief is so pronounced that such symp- toms of dyspepsia, as the melancholy loss Of appetite and broody fear to eat are quickly dispelled. Sometimes an excess of certain kinds of food may lodge in an acid stomach to cause gas, heartburn, water -brash, sense of full ness after eating and a heavy, drowsy feeling after meals. This is dyspepsia and the stomach needs the alkaline effect given by Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets to bring relief. Get a 69-eent box today of any druggist and note how comfortable the stomach feels.

EGG PLANT usE 1NoREAsEs.

The increase in the use of eggplant in this section IS notable. New Englanders in the old days did not grow this ex- cellent vegetable and there are many who are ignorant of it's merits. It is well worth cultivation and a more general use At present most of the native egg plant is gone but some very fine quali- ty is coming in from more southern sec tions. In taste 1t resembles oysters somewhat.
