O WONDERFUL DISCOVERY
An eminent scientist, the other day,
gave his opinion that the most won-
derful discevery of recent years was
the discovery of Zam-Buk. 'just
think! As soon as a single thio layer
of Zane,Buk is applied to a wound or
a sore, such injury is insured against
blood poison ! Not one species of
microbe has been found that Zam-Buk
doea not kill !,
Then again'. As soon as Zam-Buk
is applied to a sore, or a cut, or to
skin disease, it stops the smarting.
That is why children are -such friends
of Zeta -Buie They caro nothing for
the teience of the thing. All they
know is that Zara -Buie stops their
pain. Mothers should never forget
this.
Again. As soon as Zam-Buk is ap-
plied to a wound or to a diseased
part, the cells beneath the skin's sur-
face are so stimulated that new
healthy tissue is quickly formed. This
forming of fresh healthy tissue from
below is Zam-Buk: s secret of healing.
The tissue thus formed is worked up
to the surface and literally casts off
the diseased tissue above it. This is
why Zam-Bun: cures are permanent.
Only the other day Mr. Marsh, of
101 Delorimier Ave., Montreal, called
upon the Zam-Buk Co. and told them
that for over twenty-five years he
had been a martyr to eczema. His
hands were at one time so covered
with sores that he had to sleep in
gloves, Four years ago Zam-Buk was
introduced to him, and in a few
months it cured him. To-day—over
three years after his cure of a disease
he had for twenty-five years—he is
still cured, and has had no trace of
any return of the eczema!

If a pied of sugar is put into the
water that flowers stand in, they will
keep fresh quite a long time.
Wet shoes should be stuffed with
paper before they are put away. They
will dry more quickly and not be so
hard.
Finger marks on the doors will clean
off easily if the cloth is first dipped in
kerosene. Then wash in the usual way.
In preparing eggplant press it under
water instead of just salting it. This
prevents the vegetable from turning
black.
Wali paper can be cleaned by making
a paste of whitening. Lay it thick on
the narks, allcw it to dry; then br-ush
off.
Mali a lemon squeezed into a glass of

Slang '`Is Wrong."
(New York Times.)
Slang as a means of the proper
description of baseball games in the
newspapers came but a little behind
straightforward England, according to
the verdict of several thousand readers
in a test vote taken in a Chicago news-
paper.
Of a total caf 3,93u ballots recorded
to-dae 3,004 declared for the English
prescribed by the dictionaries, and 1,-
1123 were in favor of the use of slang.
The figures in favor of pure English
were qualified by several thousand
voters who expressed themselves in
favor of the use of a moderate amount
of snappy, descriptive phrases, not
lianad necessarily to dictionary words,
however. Many voted in favor of slang,
but advocated the elimination of nick-

In the course of balloting numerous
college professors and educators de-
clared in favor of slang, while a major-

FOURTEENTH ARTICLE.
COMMERCIAL FER-
TILIZERS.
By EDWARD B. VOORHEES, Late Director
of the New Jersey Agricultural
Experiment Stations.
FIERE is perhaps no question
of greater importance to the
practical farmer than that of
soil fertility. To produce prof-
itable crops and at the same time to
maintain and even to increase the pro-
ductive capacity of the soil may rightly
be termed "good farming." Many
farmers are able to do this, and the
knowledge of bow to do it bus been
largely acquired through years of ex-
perience, during which the character
of the soil, its adaptability for crops
and the methods of its management
and manuring have been made sub-
jects of careful study, without, however,
any definite and accurate knowledge
concerning manures and their func-
tions in relation to soils and crops.
Experience is an excellent teacher. Still
a definite knowledge of the fundamen-
tal principles way be substituted for
years of experience in the successful
use of manures.
The fertility of the soil would re-
main practically unchanged if all the
ingredients removed in the various
farm products were restored to the
land. This is to a large extent accom-
plished by feeding the crops grown on
the farm to annuals, carefully saving
the manure and returning it to the
soil, and where it is practicable to pur-
sue a system of stock feeding in which
those products of the farm which are
comparatively poor to fertilizing con-
stituents are exchanged in the market
for feeding stuffs of high fertilizing
value the loss of soil fertility may be
reduced to a minimum, or there may
be an actual gain in fertility.
A careful study of the present condi-
tion of farming in the United States in-
dicates, however, that as at rule the
manure produced on the farm is not
sufficient to maintain its fertility and
that the need for artificial supplies is -
real, though the amount required may
be considerably reduced by careful
the wealthiest man in Germany, will management.
pay a "war tax" of $2,540,00x, on his Iu the system of so called "grain
fortune, which is estimated at $6,505,- farming," which has obtained over
000. large areas of this country for a long
time and is still practiced, the live
stock is often limited to a number suf-
ficient only to the needs of the farm
for labor and food. The grain is sold,
and the manure is made up chiefly of
the natural wastes or unsalable ma-
terial, such as straw, stalks, etc. The
grain contains proportionately greater
amounts of nitrogen and mineral con-
stituents than these wastes. Hence the
practice continued for a long time re-
sults not only in a deficiency in the soil
of organic substances containing nitro-
gen, but also in an exhaustion of the
mineral substances. The original char-
acter of the soil and its treatment
measure the rate of exhaustion. The
less fertile soils of the east and south
are rapidly depleted, while the rich
prairies and river bottoms maintain
their fertility for a longer period.
The continuous cotton and tobacco
growing of the south and the wheat
growing of the west are even more
exhaustive, since here the demands
upon the soil are not changed. Year
after year the same crop is grown,
and the same (rind and proportion of
constituents are required, while even
slighter returns are made in the way
of manure than in the system of farm-
ing jest described. Under such con-
ditions the decomposition of the or-
ganic matter in the soil is accompa-
nied by proportionately greater losses
of nitrogen. Moreover, the land is left
bare for a large part of the year, and
its fertility is thereby still further de-
creased. The crops become less abun-
^ent each year, not because the soil is
entirely exhausted, but because it is so
tar exhausted of those constituents
essential to the special crop grown that
.Its production is no longer profitable.
Changed Conditions o! farming,
'which have an important bearing on
this point, are, first, increased cost of
Tabor And lower prices of many of the
products of one crop farming, and,
second, an increasing demand for mala
ket garden products and fruit. For
example, in growing wheat, the labor
FALL FAIR DATES. of preparing the soil, of sowing and of
harvesting is practically the same,
whether the yield Is teu bushels per
acre or thirty bushels, and the same le
true of a number of other crops; hence
in ease of the larger yield the cost of
labor per bushel is materially reduced.
Meager crops of a relatively low value
cannot be produced profitably with
high priced labor. Soils of a high de-
gree of fertility are required in order
to produce large yields of these crops.

wastes of the farm iead i sooner or
later to a decreased fertility, however
gaol the management may be; hence

Firtinfoens of Lombardy.
At Brianza, in Lombardy, there ex-
ists a most curious band, all the mem-
bers of which play the same kind of
instrument, known as the "firlin-
foens." This corresponds to what we
know as "pan pipes" and is construct-
ed of reeds fastened side by side, the
bass pipes being often several feet
long, while the others gradually de-
crease in size. The "firlinfoens"—as
the players are called, after their in-
struments—are, as a rule ignorant of
music, and they learn their tunes by
heart—often from a gramaphone. It
is said that the pan pipe players ex-
perience all the sensations of intoxi-
cation after a march, due to their
energetic blowing, and the constant
wagging of the head to and fro. The
music, by the way, although curious
at first, is not unpleasing.—Wide

of produce are important !actors. The
areas now necessarily devoted to these
crops are so great that the amouut of
farm manures available is touch too
small. Besides, the constituents con-
tained in such manures, being in part
but slowly available, are less useful
than the more active forms contained
in commercial fertilizing materials.
Market garden crops are in a sense
artificial crops and, as a rule, uecd
artificial supplies of plant food.
Fruit culture, an industry of grow-
ing importance, is profitable, particu-
larly on the poorer soils near the east-
ern markets, largely In proportion to
the amounts of the mineral elements
applied fu excess of those contained in
soils otherwise well adapted to the
crops. A proper supply of food not
only enables the trees to resist unfa-
vorable conditions, but improves the
quality of the fruit and prolongs the
bearing period of the orchards and
vineyards.
It will be thus seen that commercial
fertilizers can be used most advan-
tageously either in re -enforcing farm
manures in general or in providing a
generous supply of quickly available
plant food in specialized, intensive
farming. It should be the aim in ap-
plying such fertilizers to supplement
rattler than to replace entirely the
manurial resources of the farm, for
the best results from their application
may be secured only on soils well
stocked with organic matter (humus),
u materia( that c'an be maintained in
the soil only by the systematic appli-
cation of the bulky barnyard or green
manures.
Nitrogen, phosphoric acid ana potash
are the constituents most likely to be
deficient iu soils or most quickly ex-
hausted by the production ana removal
of crops. They are known as "essen-
tial" fertilizing constituents, and the
value of a commercial fertilizer is de-
termined almost exclusively by' the
amount and form of the nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash which it
contains. It does not follow, however,
that all soils or crops will respond
equally to applications of materials
containing these elements, for the
needs of soils and the requirements of
crops vary.
Solis differ as to their needs for
specific fertility elements, owing ei-
ther to their method of formation or
to their management and cropping. A
sandy soil is usually deficient in all
the essential plant food constituents—
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash—
while a clayey soil usually contains
the mineral elements in abundance,
particularly potash. On the other
hand, a soil very rich in vegetable
matter is frequently deficient in min-
eral matter, while a limestone soil id,
likely to contain considerable propor-
tions of phosphoric acid.
These are the indications in a gen-
eral way, and they explain why it is
that different kinds of soil that have
not been cropped differ as to their
need of the different fertilizing con-
stituents.
Methods of management and crop-
ping also exert an influence. For ex-
ample, soils of equal natural fertility
may not respond equally to uniform
methods of fertilization, because in
the one case a single crop requiring for
its growth proportionately more of one
of the essential elements than of an-
other is grown year after year, and it
may be that the element required is
the one that exists in the soil in least
quantity.
On the other hand, crops may be
grown that demand but minimum
amounts of the element in question.
Summarizing the conclusions of sci-
ence and practical experience in regard
to the use of commercial fertilizers, it
may be said:
First. — Commercial fertilizers are
mainly valuable because they furnish
the elements — nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash—which serve as food,
not as stimulants.
Second.—The kind of farming in the
past and the demands for special prod-
ucts in the present make their use nec-
essary in profitable farming.
Third.—In order to use them profita-
bly the farmer should know—
(a) That nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash are the essential manurial
constituents.
(b) That the agricultural value of
these constituents depends largely
upon their chemical form.
(c) That these forms are contained
in specific products of a well defined
character and composition and may ,be
purchased as such from dealers and
manufacturers and may be mixed suc-
cessfully on the farm.
Fourth.—The agricultural value of a
fertilizer bears no strict relation to
the commercial value. The ono is do-
termined by soil, crop and climatic
conditions, the other by market and
trade conditions only.
Fifth.—The Variations in the eompo-
j(l$on and value of manufactured fer-
tilizers which contain the three essen-
tial constituents are due to variations
in the character and in the proportion
of the materials used.
Sixth.—The ton basis alone is not ;t
safe guide in the purchase of these
commercial fertilizers. Low ton n•iees
mean either low content of goo,! tortain
of plant food or the use of poorer
forms. Fertilizers, high grade both in
quality and qu:nttity of plant food,
cannot be purchased at a low price per
ton.
Seventh. -Tbe best fertilizers cannot
exert their full effect on soils that are
too dt'y or too wet, tot,' c•onlpaet or too
porous. They can furnish but one of
the conditions of fertility.
EMehth.—Tiro kind and amount to use
should be determined by the value of
the crop grown and its power of ac-
quiring food.

WELCOMED A KICKING. ..
Odd Incident That Proved the Popu-
larity of Dumas.
in "My Autobiography" Mme. Jte
dith, the great Freneh actress, writes
of Alexander Dumas the elder:
"This giant of a mulatto, with his
big, black, mocking eyes, his wide nos-
trils, thick lips, heavy chin, bis crisply
curling hair and his forehead with its
strange bumps, like that of some un-
ruly child who is always fighting with
his comrades, was truly a representa-
tire personage, a type reflecting all the
passion of the romanticists. There
would have been something wanting to
his time if this graudson of a negress
had not been seen striding along the
Parisian boulevards, if his laugh bad
not been heard on the terraces of the
cafes or if he had not appeared playing
This part with naive self satisfaction in
official ceremonies and at the Tuileries
ball, or walking about behind the
scenes at the theater with his arm
around the waist of some actress, or
eating and drinking enough for lour in
the merry suppers at which authors
and artists used to meet.
"His popularity was simply unequal-
ed. There was a story current in my
time of a singular wager made by
Mery of Marseilles. Walking one day
in some public garden with a friend,
he suddenly said to him: 'Do you see
that big, ridiculous looking fellow? f
ht't you 100 sous that if I kick him, no
matter where, instead of flying into a
rage he will matte the a polite bow.'
"The bet was taken, and Mery, creep-
ing stealthily up behind M. Prud-
honlme, gave him a tremendous kick in
the small of his back. The man turned
red with indignation, but Mery cried:
'Oh, I beg your pardon, sir; I took you
for Alexander Dutnas, with whom I
have an account to settle.'
"Elis victim, only too proud to be
taken for such a great man, at once re-
lented and. taking off his hat in the
most amiable manner, he said, with a
bow, 'There is no harm done, mon-
sieur.' The hundred sous were won."
ANSON SCORED LAST.
The Old Chicago Captain Made Two
Plays to Dahlen's One.
Tim Hurst, the veteran umpire, told
this one on Bill Dahlen when Bill was
a youth toiling under Cap Anson in
Chicago. Said be:
"Anson called Dahlen good and hard
in a game I was umpiring in Chicago.
Dahlen took it without saying a word,
but a few minutes later Bill remarked
to me, 'Watch me bark that old fel-
low's shins."'Ans' was not as agile
then as he was iu his younger days,
and be stooped with much effort. All
through that game Bill made great
stops, only to throw the ball a few
feet in front of the bag, and it was up
to Anson to stop it with his shins.
'However, that was not the end of it.
A. few days later the albite Stockings
had to make a trip to St. Louis, and
Anson told Dahlen he would not be
taken on the trip. Bill had been told
that several times and he thought 'Ans'
was fooling. The train left Chicago
about midnight and Dahlen was with
the rest of the team.
"When the train was about twenty-
five miles out of Chicago the conductor
told Anson there were sixteen men in
the party and he had received only,
fifteen tickets. Anson said there were
only fifteen men and named the berths
they occupied.
"'The man in berth No. 17 says he is
a member of the Chicago team,' said
the conductor, who was referring to
Dahlen. 'He's stringing you,' replied
Anson. Poor Bill was asked to cough
up and couldn't. The train was stop-
ped, and Dahlen was put off the train
about thirty miles from Chicago. How
he got back to Chicago only Bill him-
self knows, but he would not talk to
anybody for a week."
Fire In Wedding Celebrations.
Ith some countries fire is an essen-
tial in connection with wedding cele-
bration:. For example, in Persia,
among the Zoroastrians, the ritual is
read in the front of a fire. In Ni-
caragua the priest, taking the con-
tractii,g parti.a by the little finger,
leads them to an apartment where a
fire is lighted and there instructs the
bride in her duties, extinguishing the
fire by way of conclusion. In Japan
the woman kindles a torch, and the
bridegroom lights one from it, the
playthings of the bride being burned
on the spot.

made out of sawdust concrete. The
cement used consists of a solution of
magnesium -chloride to which pulverized
magnesia is added. The sawdust is
then used in any desired quantity.
Floors manufactured in this way are
more resilient than concrete, and are not
good conductors of heat. They wear well
and do not burn, charring under the
fire test.
Mr. Ferguson,Carr Harris of King-
ston formerly a prominent rugby, and

A man may not be much of a hand a
entertaining company, but apologizing
for the looks of the house is no part of
his program. — J
