At best "floats" Is very soluble and we advise its use In only two cases: Spread In the stables or cattle sheds at the rate of about 100 lbs to the ton of manure. This should be done at intervals so that the acids of the manure may come in contact with the "Floats" and in a measure decompose It. The second case is there the soil Is well supplied with decaying. organic mat ter. This decaying organic matter is constantly liberating carbonic ac id which is absorbed by the soil wa ter and is our strongest natural sol vent. When "floats" is applied to such a soil much of the phosphor us becomes available. The price per pound of phosphor- j us in "floats" is about one-third ] that of a pound of available pbos-] phoruB in acid phosphate, but iti must' be borne in mind that it is! in an insoluble form and should on ly be used under such conditions that at l^ast one-third will become available. Has Written L&st Poem. Indianapolis. Ind. ? The world has received its last poem from the hand of James Whitcomb Riley. Mr. Riley was asked recently by friends to write a poem in the form o,f a Christmas message to the public. He sadly shook his head, and exposed a withered right hand. The paralytic stroke which the fa mous bard had a couple of years ago has gone to his right hand and this member is absolutely helpless now.' It was suggested that he might dictate a poem. He immediately shook his head in vigorous disappro val at this and said: "No, no; that would be impossi ble. One cannot write poetry that way. One must have, his pen in hand to get the proper rhythm and meter in such work." Friends believe that he has not long to live. He is unable to walk without assistance, and only when weather conditions are fine does he take drives.

Dun Sargent, it Harvard Junior, literally kicked hlmjtelf Into fame when ho hooted an association football from Har? t vard to the ' town of Ipswich. 32 mile# away. Young Bargent la of the "Gold Coasters" and cpmes from Wellesley, Mass, lu accordance with a bet made with Gordan Grant, a fellow colleg ian, and ohtors, he was to kick the ball to Ipswich within 24 hours, but he went Grant several point* v better by finishing the course in 8 hours flat, averaging four miles per hour, and thereby breaking all foot ball kicking records, plain and fan cy. Sargent, who is a member of the soccer team, is estimated to have won nearly $1,000. Grant ran from this city to Ipswich last week In 6 hours and 34 minutes. A remark by Sargent that this was not any thing "to get fussed up over" led to Sargent declaring that he could kick a football over that distance in a day. ? ?? ? The conditions were that Sargent should not put hands on the ball unless it got into such an inaccessi ble place that the contest committee gave him that privilege. He nearly lost it in a brook in Middlesex Falls, but did not handle it. The start was made at 3 a. rn. from in front of the Sphinx exub, Harvard. The contest endfa lu Ipswich at 11 o'clock. .Sargent wore ordinary clothes and nrober? soled leather shoes. He was ac companied by two automobiles filled ~ with students. "Could go twice as far, "he said scornfully as he finish ed fresh and strong. He entered into a waking automobile and was soon whisked back to his studies. TAX NOTICE.
