Hair Loves the Light.

LOnOOn star.
A Yorkshire mar has for several years
been annoyed by a curious circum-
stance; one side of his mustache grows
about twice as fast as the other, and If
1t is neglected for a few weeks he will
suddenly notice that 1t is from half an
inch to an inch longer OF the left than
on the right. He is obliged to keep cut
ting it off from time to time to make 1t
even. He had not the faintest idea what
caused the greater luxuriance on the left
until some days 6 he asked a barber
about it. and h man asked him how
his desk stood in relation to the light.
He replied that for years he had occu-
pied a desk with q window on his left,
which at once explained the difficulty.
Hair, like vegetables. grows best in the
light, and, ~ascertaining the fact, the
Leeds man at nee had his desk changed
to the other side Of the window in order
to give the right side Of his mustache q
chance to develop. He Is awaiting the
result with some interest. and II the
change in growth shifts with the light
he Is going to face the window.

All About PonItrN.

Send in your contribution to our special
poultry issue for Nov. 8. If you have any
questions to PROFOUND relative to prae-
teal poultry keeping, send them in also.
Our lady readers are invited to do either
or both. 1t is matter that many of them
are well versed in, and many more are de-
sirous of becoming so. for it is an en-
ployment that can commend itself to
many women who find it genuine re-
taxation to have some outdoor occupa-
ton. Poultry keeping, and especially
when engaged in simply for eggs, in
wolves but little manual labor and none
beyond their physical abilities. Conduct
ed intelligently, ii is sure to prove more
or less remunerative, and it must be an
inviting field to many these hard times.
Let us discuss the matter in all it's bear
1ngs, and thus stir up a hearty interest
IN what may be made a very profitable
occupation. Hundreds of intelligent wo-
men are engaged in raising fine breeds of
fowls in Canada, New England and out
in the west, and there is no reason why
our southern women should not do so,
too. In the matter of climate, our women
have greatly the advantage, and we must
protest against their letting the men
folks monopolize so pleasant an occupa-
ton
Let us have all the questions and sug-
gestions possible from both men and
women who feel an interest in the ques-
ton.

Nitrogen or Ammonia.

B. M-What is the difference between
nitrogen" and ammonia? The printed
analysis on some fertilizers use the word
nitrogen and others ammonia. Why, for
the sake of uniformity, do not all use
the same term then comparison could be
more readily made by a farmer who de-
sires to buy, but does not know the differ
ence between the terms"
Nitrogen is the elementary substance
that exists in the air as a gas Ammonia
is a compound substance formed from nj
trogen by a combination with the ele-
ment, hydrogen, that also exists as a gas.
Nitrogen has to be converted into ammo
MIA Cor nitric acid, before it can be made
use of by plants. One part of nitrogen
combined with three parts hydrogen pro-
duces ammonia. You will see from this
that only 14-17ths of ammonia is nitrogen,
and cotton seed meal, for illustration, that
is branded as containing per cent. nitro
gen, would, if expressed in ammonia, be
branded TAO per cent, the difference being
