His Dog His Instructor

Here's a worthwhile dog story, as
told in the Winamac (Ga.l Republican I:
"JOhn Norman was talking the
other day about modern sports and
cld-time sports-basketball and dog
fights. Said John: When I was a kid
/ had a dog that was scrappy, and
was my instructor in philosophy and
values Of life as vel, My dog didn't
always Lick his opponent in battle, but
when he hiJnself received a drubbing
he didn't whine around the house and
at his masters heels, but crawled way
back, under the kitchen and stayed
there, without food or further com
fort until his wounds were healed
Then he emerged, took a full meal,
and was ready again with pep and
vigor to meet the worlds problems.
When he was licked she went way
back and sat down. and in the soil
rude was able to get his bearings and
meet his further tasks with decision"

Rhode Island Reds.

We have been engaged in the porl-
try business in a small way for a nuuI-
Der of years and SO will now give my
reasons for preferring Rhode Island
Reds:
/. They are a very large breed and
also very easy to keep.
2. They lay well all the year round,
with very little care and food during
the winter months. We have a flock
Of about so layers and get on an aver
age around 80 eggs a day the entire
year.
8. They are good s%itters, seldom
leaving the nest when set properly.
A.. The young chickens are of a good
size and plump; and also healthy. be-
ing ready to eat or market in about
ten or twelve weeks after Matching.
5, They are splendid foragers, go
ing a reasonable distance out in the
fields in search of bugs and other in
sects for the young chicks.
We have a good winter house for
the flock, and during the winter feed
one square meal a day or either corn.

give them all the water they will drink
about the middle Of the day, but this
should have the chill taken from it by

GirL,a Strange Mentality

Scientists are trying to find out what
actuates a girl named Thea Alba. Or.
I'll lately she had shown nothing speci-
ally strange about her actions, except
the habit of writing with her left hand
~ well as her right. One day, however,
she told her folks that she was con-
tinually thinking OF two OF three
things at the same time, and very
soon she began to do things that
seemed to prove it. She wrote at
first, two different words at the
same time, one with each hand
Being a good drawer and a pianist,
she trained herself so that she
can paint and draw with both hands
et once. She can play the piano with
one hand, and at the same time write
or draw with the other. At IN ex-
animation before doctors she drew a
portrait with each hand in twenty sec
Onds. She can also write with three
pieces Of chalk at the same time. Just

ASHES AS FERTILIZER
Contain Potash and Phosphoric Acid
Should be Kept Dry and Not Per-
u ..taA-L l. $3.50

ft 0uOAA0 0C fNNRA ~ Az wv ~
NJ mitted to Leach.
The farmer who burns wood for
heating and cooking should carefully
store the ashes and not permit them
to leach, as they have a peculiar fer
tilizing value. They not only contain
potash and phosphoric acid in appre-s
cable amounts but also contain mag
nesia and lime, and when applied to
the land they also act indirectly to in
crease the available nitrogen content
of organic matter in the soil.
Ordinary house ashes contain on
the average about 8 or 9 per cent of
potash and two per cent of phosphorie
acid. Investigators have considered
that there is enough potash and phos-
phoric acid in a bushel of ashes to
make it worth 20 or rs cents. Besides
that, some 10 or Is cents additional
might be allowed for the alkali powder
of the ashes. This power is that
which enables ashes to rot weeds and
to ferment peat. ,Ehe potash content
Of ashes will be lost if they are per
mitted to leach, and care should be
taken to store them in a dry place.
Wood ashes may be profitably APP
piled as a top dressing to grass land
and to pastures, where. they will en-
courage the growth of dover and the
better kinds of grasses, which viii
then crowd out inferior kinds anu
weeds. Wood ashes also may be us,
ed for corn and roots. Because Of
their lime content they are not so
good for potatoes, although sometimes
used for this crop.
Ashes from hardwoods (%deciduous
trees) are richer in both phosphorus
and potash than those from pines and
other softwoods (e%onifers). The ashes
of twigs Gaggots. for example) are
worth more for agricultural purposes
than the ashes of heartwood taken
from the middle of an old tree. In
general, the smaller and younger the
wood burned the better ashes. The
ashes of coal do not contain enough
potash to make them valuable In this
connection.
The hulls of cotton seed according
to specialists, yield ashes which con-
tain from Is to 80 per cent of potash
and from 5 to 10 per cent of phosphor
ic acid, Cotton hull ashes therefore
as a fertilizer are much more coneeIl-
trated than ordinary wood ashes. As
a matter of fact, in the opinion Of
some Investigators, the ashes from
cottonseed hulls contain such a large
proportion of potash that they might
do considerable harm to certain crops
if they were used in large quantities.
These ashes have been used with
advantage for manuring tobacco, and
have in times past brought as much
as $35 to $40 a ton in New England.
One objection to their use is hat they
vary widely in composition At the
present time, however, the hulls are
used for feed to such an extent that
it is difficult to secure their ashes for
fertilizing purposes.

one Farm that Was Made 10 PAY

Vic 7 aim tH6A y NNAS
A significant instance of what prop
er methods of farm management can
accomplish is afforded by a certain
500 acre farm in central Michigan.
For ten years this farm failed to pay
interest on the capital invested. One
year after the owners had been induc-
ed to make certain radical changes
the farm paid all the expenses of OPP
Grafton and returned them 5 per cent
on an investment of 100000 The
changes which accomplished this fin
ancia1 revolution were as follows:
Four horse machinery was substi-
tuted for two horse.
The Improbable COWS in the dairy
herd were weeded out and sold ard
the money received from them invest
ed in better stock.
A silo was built.
The foreman was allowed an adj
ditional 10 per cent of dhe net income
from the farm. The expenses of op
Grating the farm, but not the interest
on the capital, were deducted from
the income before the foreman receiy-
ed his percentage.
