terial which is returned to the soil will
vary from rs per cent. to almost all of
it, according to the age and work of
animal. If it is fed to dairy COW
and the skim milk is fed to the hogs,
it will practically all be returned to
the farm sooner or later.
Now the question is: Which is the
cheaper way to supply humus? By
green manuring or by feeding beef or
dairy cattle. The crimson clover for
green manuring must have the land
from late in July until we'll on in the
spring, to make a good crop and then
ton of green crimson clover has only
a fertilizer value of $3.50, or equal to
the fertilizer value of ! of ton of
wheat or only ! of ton of cottonseed
meal. The plowing under of green
manure is by far the easier method
for the farmer, because it relieves him
of the work of tending his cattle.
On the other hand, if the farmer
buys a ton of wheat bran and ton of
cottonseed meal, feeds it to his dairy
cattle and sells the butter or milk, the
COWS will pay for the feed and he will
have $38. 90 worth of plant food to add
to his farm. This manure is in far
better condition for the soil than the
green manure, some of it will be avail
able for the plant at once, while with
the green manure the plant must wait
until it begins to decay. To one used
to work on a dairy farm it seems a
great waste of good feed to plow under
a crop of crimson clover, when it could
be fed to cows, be paid for by them
and then go back to the soil again.
This way seems to be the best and
most profitable way of the two, to add
humus to our soils.-W. P. NAUDAIN,
Marshallton Del.

THE UPPER LIP.
A Theory About the FurrOw Which
Runs Below the Nose.

A Theory About the FurrOw Which
Runs Below the Nose.
Below the nose runs a furrow part
ing the upper lip. In the faces Of
babies and children this furrow is very
noticeable. From the evolutionist's
point of view it is one of the most
remarkable characters Of the face. 1t
tends to become obsolete in old age,
and it is not seen among the catarrhine
monkeys. Among the platyrhines it
is but feebly developed, but in lemurs
it is in a more pronounced state. There
is a depressed septum, to which the
two side pieces are joined. The upper
lip. in fact, is nearly split in two. but
held together in a depressed piece Of
flesh. In the marsupialia and rOden-
tia the lip is practically in two pieces.
and each piece is capable Of being
moved separately. This is the ''hare-
lip" and its method of use may well
be noticed in q hare or rabbit when
eating
The furrow, therefore, in the child's
lip points to this-that our ancestors
DOSSNooNh llOl a SAAls5AN hipNA ABS 90 w
do now but two upper lips, one be-
meath each nostril. both capable of
Independent movement. In the course
Of time these two lips have, owing to
the nOnrequirement of Independent
movement, grown together to form the
single lip we now possess, but the
line of junction is not perfect, and
so the furrow results, and sometimes
there is a distinct scar down the mid
die of the furrOw.
The possession of the furrowed up
per lip by children is one of the strong

KENT SCHOOLS MAY FORFEIT DIVIDENDS
Many Boards Fail to Inform the County Super
intendent of Their Conditions.

Over three score of the public school
districts Of Kent county are putting
themselves in position to forfeit their
annual dividends from the state, pro.
vided for in the school fund constantly
in the hands of the state treasurer.
The law requires that, upon the open
ing of the public schools in September,
or earlier in the new school year, the
directors of each school district shall
in writing inform the superintendent
of public schools at his Office in Dover
or the state auditor showing the name
and address of each teacher employed.
together with the salary paid to each.
There are 1913 school boards in Kent
county and up to noon Thursday,
forty-seven white districts and twenty
three negro districts had failed to ap-
prise the officials at Dover. The Off
cial information concerning the teach.
ers employed is necessary under the
law because the dividends to the
school are apportioned, in many in.
stances in accordance with the number
of teachers employed.

MAKING SILK HATS.
workman Explains Why His Fore
finger Nail Is MaIformed.

finger Nail Is MaIformed.
The nail of his right forefinger was
long, yellow, horny, and the finger tip
had so thickened and hardened that it
seemed to be covered with pale leather.
He was a silk hat maker, and it was
from curling hat brims that his finger
had changed so strangely. Describing
the processes of a silk hats manufac-
ture, he said:
'@rhe belief that cardboard forms
silk hats foundation is an error. The
hat is first built up of various thick
nesses of linen-layers Of linen, soaked
in shellac, that by means Of wooden
molds and hot irons weighing twenty
pounds apiece are welded one on the
other till a perfect shape, brim and all
complete, is obtained.
"The silk is next put on. This silk
costs from $40 to $15 yard. 1t looks
like plush in the piece. The hatmaker
cuts it off on the bias and molds it
round the stiff linen foundation. The
strips must be very accurately cut, and
great care is used in their ironing and
cementing, so as to give perfect dag
onal joint. Look at your silk hats
seam the next time you wear it. The
joints perfection will, perhaps, amaze
you.
1.-THE brim, up to this point, is fiat.
| Now it's curling commences. That is
where my queer forefnger comes in.
The shaping of a hat brim is purely
a matter of hand and eye and taste
The brim while being shaped is highly
heated so as to give it pliability.
"And of course working on this hot
material, patting and prOdding it, the
forefnger thickens and the nail gets
horny.
Nevertheless hat curling is pleasant
artistic work Hat curriers' have repu
tations the same as artists. Their worl
is distinctive. An expert can tell it a

Familiar to some of the ancient |

highly valued for the benefits sup
posed to be conferred on the wearer
Its bright, six rayed star, ever chang

was the comforting upon the wearer of

as an amulet, and to those fortunate

which the stone was associated or rep

all evil. The star stone is found prin-
