decomposition of the straw, convert-
ing It Into a valuable farm b.v-prod
uct. Practically all of the phosphor
ous taken from the soli by the small
grains Is contained In the straw, but
direct application of straw to the land
Is usually detrimental to succeeding
; crops. Tills '.armful effect is brought
about by various agencies, chief of
which' Is the drying out of the soli
nnd consequent firing of crops. Ex-
periments at the Iowa agricultural ex-
periment station have shown that
partially decomposed straw mixed
with some nitrogenous substance does
not retard plant growth. The liquid
portion of manure serves as a cheap
Mi’irce of nitrogen and the resultnnt
decomposition converts the straw Into
a manure less likely to dry out the
soil."

I he next spring it makes a rapid

At the Missouri College of Agticul-
tnre It has been found profitable to
fertilize the land with about 1(X»
oounds of acid phosphate to the nero.
Where the phosphate Is added the
amount of green clover ready to turn

Many Kindt of Bark
in Utm at Mtdicint
Th* United States Pharmacopoeia
lists IT kinds of bark used In medl-
dn*. Ther# are, howevsr, no less
than 38 kind* of bark altogether grown
k> America which are more or leas
widely used for preparing simple,
homemade remedies, although only IT
are classed as "offlclnala**
Some are valued, for example. *•
febrifuges, chief of which, of course,
Is the Pernvlao bark or cinchona, to
which the world owes th* priceless
boon of qnlnlne.
A second class Include# those which
exert s cathartic or laxatlv* effect,
end of these the most highly prized U
the bark of the graceful little buck-
thorn tree found In California, and
known by Its Spunlsh name of cos-
cara sagrada (sacred bark).
A third class Includes those which
stimulate the flow of one or another
of the secretions of the body, such as
the saliva, gastric Juice, perspiration,
mucus, etc.
Others are toothing In nature, such
as an Infusion of slippery elm. and
many may be used for preparing
soothing drafts In casec of sore
throats, etc. Still others are said
somewhat vaguely to posseaa “tonic”
properties.
Odd Intpiration Ideas
of Masters of Music
Haydn, when he sat down to com-
pose, always dressed himself with the
greatest care, had his hair nicely pow-
dered and put on his best suit. Fred-
erick II had given him a diamond
ring, and Haydn declared that. If he
happened to begin without It. he could
not summon a single Idea. Ke could
write only on the finest paper, and
was as particular In forming his notes
as tf be had been engraving them on
copper.
Gluck, when he felt Inspired to com-
pose, hud his piano carried Into a
beautiful meadow and, with a bottle
of champagne on either side of him,
composed divinely.
Paeslllo composed his “Barblere d!
Siviglla" and “La Mollnara” in bed.
Sachin! declared that he never had
a moment of Inspiration, unless his
two favorite cats were sitting one on
each shoulder.—Market for Exchange.

Joseph Conrad’s Baby
Joseph Conrad, the famous witter
of sea tales, wrote a letter to a cousin
January 21, 1888, three days after the
birth of a son. The letter Is Included
In a group of Conrad’s letters pub-
lished by World's Work. "The doc-
tor says It Is a magnificent boy,” he
wrote. “He has dark hair, huge eyes,
and he resembles a monkey. What
paint me Is that my wife pretends
that he also resemble^ me. Enfln 1 Do

Not to the Manner Born
Brown was going South to visit his
son and wife for several weeks and
was being drilled by Mrs. Brown In
preparation for the visit. Table man-
ners was one subject In the curric-
ulum and one on which both pupil
and Instructor worked hard. One day
at dinner aa Brown poured the con-
tents of his coffee cup Into a saucer,
he remarked comfortably: ' "Well, I’ll
drink you out of the saucer now, but,”
with a dismal shake of the head,
“when I get down South, I'll drink you
out of the cup.”—Indianapolis News.
English Sparrows
The first English sparrows were
brought to America In 1850. They
were Imported by Nicholas Pike and
the other directors of the Brooklyn
Institute to protect the shade trees
from damage by caterpillars. Eight
pairs were released the Dext spring,
but none of them survived. In 1853
another shipment was made. During
the next twenty years fifteen ship-
ments of English sparrows to the
United States took place.—Pathfinder
Magazine.
