MONEY IN HER HAIR.

"a couple Of funny things happened
at the store to-day" said a girl who
works IN the millinery department Of a
big store. About / O'clock a woman
from a ranch came in and asked to be
shown some hats. Among those
showed her was one with a long brown
veil trailing out behind. She admired
the hat very much. It's very nice,
she said, but tell me, is brown mourn
ing in style now An hour later a
woman came in and bought that brown
hat. When it had been put In box
for her, she said: You said the price
was S11, didn't youY l replied that
that was the price. At that she pushed
the hat she wore back on her head and,
diving into her hair, drew forth a roll
of bills. She skinned off two fiyes
and a one and handed them to me.

deak Of experimental work las been
doll looking Ito mastering some OF
the fertilzing problems. it still re-
mains a fact that We are very largely
in 4he dark about fundamental prin-
cipBes Of manuring.
AS a rule our cotton lands require
phosphoric acid, nitrogen and potash.
Neither phosphoric acid nor potash
gives as good results when used alone
as when combined with each other.
Phosphorie acid alone largely sur
passes no manure; but it is doubtful
if potash alone is of any value. Nj
trogeB when combined with phosphoric
acid and potash shows marked effects
but small favorable results when used
alone. While it is true that nitrogen
in some soils shows good results, yet
phosphot;ic acid OH the whole seems to
be the controlling ingredient in in
creasing the yield. So far as fertiliz-
ing goes, kainit and muriate seem to
be about equal, While cottonseed meal
and nitrate Of soda are. in proportion
to content popular forms of nitrogen
because of their value.
Now, hnl, mhch manure shall we
adS.g That depends. Fertilizers pay
best on lands in good mechanical coll
dition and we'll improved. Just as you
cannot fatten very lean animal in
a few weeks by large quantities of
food, so you cannot in a very short
while force land into immediate fer
tility by any unusual quantity of chem
ical manures. For that reason, then,
we must keep within moderate ex-
tremes if our land is not under high
state of cultivation.
A second question is, "Does double
dosings of fertilizers pay?" We have
experiments both in favor of and
against double dosings. While nitrate
of soda may be applied III July, the
results of tests show that it may be
applied as effectively and certainly
more economically with the other fer
tiIizers than it can be III one or more
top dressings" In general, it may be
stated that where quantities up to 500
pounds are used, it is wise to apply the
same in the drill, Incorporating the
same with the soil thoroughly before
planting. When as much as 1000
pounds are used per acre, side-Iisting
