Fertilizers Must Be Used J For Home Garden; Learn How to Put Them On ; Manure is scarce in and around cities. Commercial fertilizers must be depended upon primarily for adding fertility to garden soils. It pays to vse the beBt grade. . When the home gardener buys fertilizers he pays for nitrogen, phosphroic acid and potash, and if he can secure the required amount of these elements in a small quantity of material, so much the better, as he will avoid the handling of a greater weight. A fertilizer containing from four to six per cent of nitrogen, eight to 10 per cent of available phosphoric acid and three or four per cent potash is generally recommended for use on home gardens. One pound to 30 feet of row is equivalent to an application of 500 pounds to the acre, an an application of 1 pound to 8 feet of row is practically equivalent to 2,000 pounds of fertilizer to the acre. Commercial fertilizers are high, and no more than is absolutely necessary Ehould bo used. Care must also be taken in their application, as there is constant danger of burning the roots of the plants, especially where the fertilizers are applied directly. The best results are generally secured where the" fertilizers are applied and raked in a few days before sowing the seeds or setting the plants. In this way they become more or less mixed with the soil and there will be little danger of doing the plants an injury Nitrate of Soda Good. In many sections of the country nitrate of soda is used as a stimulant to force the growth of the plants after they are started. Nitrate of soda is a concentrated fertilizer furnishing ni trogen, that element which makes the green and vigorous growth in plants, and should be used sparingly to avoid injury. The usual custom is to scatter a little (1 lb. to 100 ft.) nitrate of soda along the rows of plants and mix it with the soil by means of a hoe or rake. Another method is to dissolve a tablespoonful in a pailful of water and use this solution for watering the plants, taking care that only a small quantity of the water is applied around each plant. It is vastly better to make frequent light applications or the nitrate, rather than to apply too much ,at one time. Farm Federation ' Rushvllle business men, co-operating with the Rush County Farmers' association, entertained more than 1.500 farmers and their wives here Thursday, the event being Farmers' day. a town ani country get-together session, dinner party and corn show. Prof. G. T. Christie, of Purdue university, who was one of the speakers of the day, said that the event was the biggest of its kind ever held In Indiana. Peter J. Lux, of Shelby county, national corn champion, was judge at the corn show. Besides Prof. Christie other speakers of the day at the sessions held in the courthouse were Charles E. Watkins, of Muncie. social welfare worker for the United Motors company and district governor of Rotary clubs; H. C. Reid, of Pendleton. . representing John G. Brown, of Monon, president of the Indiana Federation of Farmers' associations, who was unable to at tend because of sickness and Mr. Lux. JEWS ATTACKED AFTER HUNGARIAN MEETING BUDA PEST, March 20. At a meeting of an anti-Semitic organization known as "Hungarian awakening" last evening, there were addresses demanding the distribution of the property of Jews among Christians and later a mob rushed through coffee houses in the city, attacking Jews. Thirteen nepons were seriously injured during the disorders.

The Farm and By William R.

Numerous interviews with men who buy feeders indicate that many of them will limit their perations this year. Many of these men raise practically no hogs themselves, although they market hundreds of them. This does not apply to farmers in general, who always winter a lot of brood sows and who also often buy shoats at sales to add to their market herds. The "short feed" Idea seems to prevail Just now. This reduces the risk of heavy loss on a falling market, leaving every chance open for a profit on a turn. Many will buy feeders which they can finish in about 60 days. Among those we note Arthur Cnrme, who stated that he had recently bought 58 shoats that averaged 134 pounds," and can be fed to market weight in about that time. In addition to his feeding operations Mr. Curme says he wintered a nice bunch of his registered Big-Type Poland brood bows, as usual. He reports no important losses of spring pigs. Will Reduce Acreage. "The loss of spring pigs in this section of the country Is the heaviest I have ever known," said Everett C. Little, of Liberty. "I think a conservative estimate of the loss would be 50 per cent of the cold weather farrowings. For myself, I shall feed more hogs this year than last. Have a bigger crop of fall pigs and a good showjng of spring youngsters, with more to come. "No, all my friends will not follow that lead, as some of them cut down the number of their brood sows and, as I have said, many of them have lost a lot of spring pigs, while others are hesitating on account of the market. "While I aim to raise more hogs, will have to cut down my corn planting by 15 acres or more. Have 150 acres and no one on the place to lend a hand, unless I can get help. There are some others in the same fix; still others who don't like conditions and may take it a little easier. In the main, however, it is likely that we shall cultivate all the land we can rightly handle." NO LOWER PRICES ON COAL, VERDICT There will be no lower spring or summer price on coal in Richmond thi3 year. This i3 the unanimous opinion of Richmond dealers, all of whom predict a possible increase during summer months. This is a condition never before known to Richmond. The 50 cent increase per ton granted by the government is partly responsible. The chief reason, however, is the unprecedented shortage of cars. Miners Getting Discouraged Coal Jobbers in Cincinnati say that mines are running but two days a week and that miners are becoming discouraged, all of which means that when the car shortage is finally alleviated, a shortage of miners will exist. Jobbers will not take any new orders for coal and in most cases will only grudgingly deliver coal ordered last fall. This means that a slight shortage exists in Richmond, not large enough to be alarming. Richmond is fortunate, however, as towns within a hundred mile radius are experiencing acute shortages. Harvard Observatory Searches for New Stars BOSTON The Harvard college observatory is making a systematic search for new stars such as have hitherto been found only by accident. Every two weeks a photographic study of the milky way is made, the plates being superimposed on earlier plates of the same region and the new stars charted, says the Transcript. "In the 400 years preceding 1S86," says Prof. S. I. Bailey, acting director of the observatory, "only nine new stars were discovered. Since then 25 have been discovered, of which 18 were detected at the Harvard observatory. To these should be added 16 faint objects found in nebulae by the Mount Wilson observatory. "Among other undertakings, upon which the observatory is engaged. Is the completiion of the life work of the late Prof. E. O. Pickering. Under his direction Miss Annie J. Cannon made a survey and classification of some 200,000 stars. No such comprehensive study had ever been made before. The observations for this great survey are now practically complete and the catalogue is in it3 final stages. "We are also engaged upon a detailed study of the magnitudes of stars. In certain special areas, in cooperation with Prof. Kapteyn, of GroniDgen, Holland, we also are making an especially intensive study of both the magnitude and positions of all stars down to the loth or 10th magnitudes, or, in other words, down to stars about 10,000 times too faint to be seen with the naked eye. There are something like 100,000,000 such stars and by selecting certain typical areas and accumulating all the facts possible we get sufficient information to generalize pretty safely about the entire number. "We are of course engaged In all sorts of special studies, particularly upon variable stars. There are scores of observers in America, Europe and Africa, many of them amateurs, who send us the results of their observations of stars which vary in brightness from time to time. But the bulk of the work of the Harvard observatory is upon the general surveys which I have described. It is these facts which we are accumulating and publishing as fast as our limited funds will permit." WAR WIDOWS NOT WANTED. PERTH, W. A The Premier of Western Australia has intimated that there is most suitable land available as training farms for ex-army officers and men, but he was unable to accept the proposal to send out British war widows owing to the scarcity of labor necessary for the construction of suitable homes.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM,

The Farmer Sanborn Have Sold 1,000 Feeders If you are a hog man and are looking for a pair of optimistic kindred spirits, Hubbard and Leavell, of Winchester, are the very men. They not only ship a lot of hogs but also raise a raft of them every year. Asked if the Winchester district would raise as many hogs as last year they said: "Yes and more, in our opinion." Mr. Hubbard then stated that they had already sold 1,000 feeders since January first and had placed 100 In the past two days. "This," he said, "is a greater number than we sold last year up to this date, and from inquiries we Judge that the most of our farmers will stand1 by their guns in this hog free-for-all, and take a chance on the future market." Not a Bull on Market In spite of what has been said Mr. Hubbard Isn't a bull on the hog market. "I tbink hogs will hold around present prices for some time. They may shade off a little In June, perhaps, and take an up turn later in the summer, but- we. are not looking for any great advanee from present levels this year, unless something unforeseen develops." As to wheat Mr. Hubbard said that there was some much better wheat showing up than they had expected, and that if there was no hurtful freezing and thawing from now on some of their farmers would harvest good wheat crops. He said, too, that while there have been many complaints of loss of spring pigs that "there seems to be no traces of disease among the hogs." Equity Folks Buy Elevator The grain elevator at West Manchester, O., is about to be taken over by the Society of Equity, according to W. L. Trump. He states that arrangements to that end were practically completed on Thursday and that possession will be given between now and April 1. The society plans to increase the capacity of the plant, now 15,000 bushels, during the summer. The officers selected are: E. B. Creager. president; Elmer Kimmel, vice president, and W. L. Trump, secretary-treasurer. MANY HARRISON TP. BOYS WERE IN A. E. F. Harrison township service records. frunished by William Wilson, follow: Cleo M.

Stanage Tells Toll Ones; Back From Coast Hanting Oscar Stanage, dean of the Tiger catching staff, looks younger and acts more like a carefree boy than he has for several seasons, according to report from the Detroit camp at Macon, Ga. He says he is that way because lie spent such a good winter out on the Pacific coast and had such good luck hunting. He declares that he ran into one flock that was estimated to contain fifty million birds and that when they all took wing together it grew dark as the rays of the sun couldn't penetrate ths opaque mass of moving mallards, teal and red heads. He said all a hunter had to do was to point his gun up in the air any place, pull the trigger and a dozen or more ducks would fall at his feet. While it is against the law in California to shoot after dark special permits were issued so that hunters could slay them at any time. One reason was that the sportsmen couldn't tell whether it was daylight or not as the darkness might merely be due to the fact that a flock of ducks was passing Women Made Young Bright eyes, a clear skin and a body full of youth and health may be yours if you will keep your system in order by regularly taking COLD MEDAL The world's etandard remedy for kidney, liver, bladder and nric acid troubles, tho enemies of life and looks.

"MYSTERY" AUTO IS HAULED FROM RIVER BY POLICE

Police boat patrol lifting auto from river. An automobile which was sunk in Sherman Creek, off the Harlem river, Nevr York, recently, was raised by the pclice and identified as a stolen taxi. A woman's handbag and a chauffeur 'a glove were found on the seat. The right hand door was swinging open, the glass on the left was broken, and vhe "vacant" sign was up. The police said the car must have been going at high speed when it plunged into the river. Whether the occupants escaped has not been determined. The river was dragged for their bodies without result. overhead. Another reason was that the ducks were eating up all the rice and a rice famine was threatened. To save their rice fields the farmers hired a' gang of aviators to fly over the fields scaring up the ducks and keeping them on the move bo they could not swipe all the rice. This was dangerous business as the airplanes were likely to get caught in the midst of the flock and either get lost or be carried away by the birds. Ray Caldwell says the only thing that prevented the Cleveland Indians from winning the pennant last season was that they got started too late. Like as not Ban Johnson forgot to mail a schedule to the Indians. HUNGRY SKUNK MAKES DAILY CALL FOR FOOD NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J. Lion taming tests the nerve, but dare-deviltry work with skunks is about forty times as strenuous. Marcus Devore, cf Newton, however, is a man of real courage and, according to hi3 own story, he has the skunks scratching his back door to get in. A black skunk had a home in the vicinity of his home He had fed the animal meat and other tidbits. Finally the skunk became so accustomed to the rations that promptly at 6 o'clock he awaited the opening of the back door. If ho was late, Levore says, the little fellow would scratch on the kitchen door. IF YOU HAD A NECK A9 LONO AS THIS FELLOW AND HAD SORE THROAT TO IS I LINE WOULD QUICKLY RELIEVE IT B5o, and 60c.

THE FRANKLIN CAR 50 SLOWER YEARLY DEPRECIATION No other car requires so little routine care the year 'round as the Franklin. The simplicity of its system of lubrication and its freedom from complicated trouble-making parts throughout, has a great deal to do with this. But an even greater factor is the absence of all cooling troubles and most tire troubles. 20 MILES TO A GALLON OF GASOLINE Any owner of a Franklin Car will tell you that 20 or more miles from a gallon of gasoline means more than just a little money saved on fuel. Between 90 and 95 of them have owned other cars and they know not alone the difference in economy, but also in comfort, safety, ease of handling and general satisfaction which Franklin light weight and flexibility make possible. 12,500 MILES TO THE SET OF TIRES J.
