Coal ashes are used largely for lite physi cal effect in brenking up a compact, heavy soil. Such ashes do not take tlie place of fertilizer. Plentiful use of well-rolled manure is still more beneficial in breaking up heavy soil becuuse this improves Hie lexluro and adds fertilizing ma terial. 1'se of Tdino Jinny gni'dcn soils are sour.

Capterton "got there" then, and he has heen "getting there" ever since. No man In the navy, perhaps, has had moro varied and inoro important work to do than Caperton, and his reputation for "getting there" still stands, A native of Tennessee, born in 1855, Caperton was graduated from the naval academy In 1S75. He was commissioned ensign on August 3, 1877, and mado his first cruise ill the Hartford. Ho served In every grade and on many ships all over the world, reach ing tho grade of rear admiral Febru ary 13, 1913. When, on July 29, 1910, Hear Admiral Cunieron Mcllea Winslow retired as commander of the Pacific fleet, Caperton, then com manding the cruiser squadron of the Atlantic fleet, was apoplnted to suc ceed him, and became an admiral one ot tho three in active comamnd of tho throe American fleets. Capertou's most recent Job in the navy was the landing of armed force at Port au Prince, Haiti, "to enforce order and protect life and property," on President Wilson's order. Amlral Caperton'a specialty in tho navy Is ordinance. Ho is one of the best ordinance experts Uncle Sain ever had.

No amount of fertilizer, watering and etillivation will make up lor the absence of sunlight in n garden. Home garduers before attempting for the hrst lime to use a back yard or other space .should consider care fully how ninny hours a day any part, of the yard is in shadow from buildings, fences, or trees.
