UNIQUE WINTER PLOWING. new Plowed Under Is Said to Bo "the Poor Man's Manure." Most farmers unhitch and turn In when snow begins to fall, but hero we hare a picture of a Vermont man who finished bis fall plowing after the ground was well covered with the whiteness. Snow has been called the poor man's manure because it washes from the atmosphere as it falls some nitrogen In the form of nitrate of ammonia and sometimes nitric acid.. The atmosphere contains varying amounts of those substances, but in very minute quantities. Just after an electrical storm the quantity is increased, as the electricity converts some of the free nitrogen of the atmosphere into these available forms. There are more nitrates and ammonia salts in the atmosphere near cities than in the country, as these substances are found in tbo escaping- smoke of factories. Rain and fogs and even hall wash tbo atmosphere of nitric acid and ammonia salts. After a dry spell a heavy shower will contain sometimes com paratively large quantities of these substances, and a late snow in the spring of the year, when the weather has been previously dry, will contain probably a larger quantity than even a rain, for the reason that the snow It more finely divided than the raindrops and washes the atmosphere more completely. There are annually brought down in rains, snows and dews about nine to tan pounds of nitrogen available for plant food to the acre. This. If bought in tbo form of commercial fertilizers, would cost. say. 11.75. I assume, therefore, says M. A. Scovell of the Kotitucky experiment station, that Is . way snow Is called the poor man's manure, as It at least assists In bringing tbls much available nitrogen to the rvo too trooMo of aoy kM tdOovawM stoaoca . mm mm m SO am U I otoaackT i to roar dram Irrwp roooia. wkleb Is pottiretjr oocuo oc ur.

GOES TO MHITMIIS Jeffries Has Left Los Angeles to Start Training at His Camp. IN SPLENDID CONDITION (American News Service) Los Angeles, April 4. Jim Jeffries has said good bye to Los Angeles until after the battle of the century, and Is today speeding northbound for San Francisco. He was accompanied by Mrs. Jeffries, his two nephews, Roy Boyer and Russell Kissel, the pet dog of the family and four trunks and a hat box. He will remain in the bay city less than 24 hours and, Tuesday night will find him in his camp , In the Santa Cruz mountains. Jeffries's last day in Los Angeles was a quiet one. There was a family reunion, at which both of Jeffries's parents were present, at his mother's house near his own residence, where the champion's' intimate friends came to say goodbye. For fifteen minutes previous to the departure of the train, the big fellow held a reception on the station platform. "I never felt better in my life," Jeffries said, and his appearance bore out the statement. . "It's going to be a tough fight for me, all right," said Jeffries. "Nobody has ever been able to make the dinge 'come to him' and I expect to have to take the fight to him and do all the fighting. Talk about the fight being strung out for the benefit of the moving pictures is all nonsense. I am going to finish It just as quick as I can. The pictures will take care of themselves." The only feature of Jeffries's condition which gives his friends an uneasiness Is a bad cold which the former champion has had for some' time. He went to Mount Whitney expecting to, get rid of it. but it has stuck to him faithfully. Otherwise Jeffries's condition Is such that when he gets into regular training he will probably round into his old time form.
