MANURE SCIENCE.
How Different Feeds Influence Value
of the Fertilizer.

The Maine station has recently is.
sued a bulletin describing a feeding
experiment. One part of the expert
ment, at least, is very interesting 1t
deals with the influence feed has on
the fertilizing value of manure Figur
ing the elements at what they would
cost on the market, it was found that
ton of hay contains $40 worth OF
plant food elements. 1t is not stated
what kind of hay was used but the
supposition is that 1t was mixed hay
Spring wheat bran contains $11.SC
worth; fall wheat bran, $3.50 worth
and cotton seed meal, $3.50 worth OF
fertilizing elements to the ton. In this
experiment no consideration was TAX
en- of the value the manure would
possess as an improver of the humus
content of the soil, which will be very
considerable indeed.
This shows the reader that if he
needs feeds for his cattle and at the
same time it is necessary to pay some
attention to the fertility of his soil. he
should purchase those feeds which are
most valuable as improvers of the ma.
nure voided by the stock 1t was found
that hay was richer in potash than
any other element containing more
potash than both nitrogen and phos.

nearly as much phosphoric acid as
both nitrogen and potash Cotton seed
meal contained almost twice as much
nitrogen as both phosphoric acid and
potash. Hence, if the soil needs hu.
mus and perhaps potash feed literally
OF hay; if it needs phosphoric acid
let bran enter largely into the ration;
II it needs nitrogen, a great deal OF
cotton seed meal should be fed.

COOL AND DAINTY NgckwEAR.
Pretty Ways of Dressing the Neck
Without Discomfort.

The woman who dresses her neck
neatly can be forgiven great many
other faults, and there are many ways
of doing this without enduring any
great discomfort The linen collar is
probably the most practical of all, and
is seen this summer in great variety.
Most of them are embroidered in blind
work or eyelet and with them are
worn soft lingerie ties or bows Get

size and not too high They are the
coolest things you can wear and still
look neat The high gloss of the

and feels cool to the skin Little pro
lection or rundown collars, while
they are not particularly new, still
find favor now and then, but that
means you must wear a silk stock,
and, with white blouses, this is to be
avoided.
Another dainty and cool fashion
that has asserted itself is the wearing
OF soft lawn and null ties with EN-
broidered or hemstitched ends. These
ties are about yard or a yard and a
half long and should go around the
