PRICE OF GUANO INCREASED
FARMERS WILL PAY DOLLAR A
TON MORE THAN LAST YEAR.
A Combination of Circumstances
Have Conspired to Bring About
Higher Prices.

The farmers will have to pay more
for that odoriferous but popular
commodity known as guano this year
than they have paid in some years
past. For many seasons the advance
on potash, nitrate and phosphates
has been constant, and this year a
new high water mark has been
reached
According to a statement made to
The News by a fertilizer dealer of
Dawson farmers will have to pay
about a dollar per ton more for their
fertilizers than they paid last year.
The prices quoted by the big fertili-
ger concerns put the price on phos-
Dhate goods at IS cents per ton
above the price paid by wholesale
last year, and on ammOniated goods
the advance will be one dollar per
ton.
Ihe advance is due to a combina-
ton of circumstances. The labor
problem extends into every section
of the country where fertilizers are
made, and this attaches a greater
cost to the production of the goods.
In Chile, where the greater pOr-
ton of the nitrate of soda supply
is obtained, there is some trouble
with labor, and in South Carolina,
Tennessee and FLORIDA the y-4u-.
phate repositories are being WorAet
with high-priced labor. The potash
supply from Germany is also com
ing over at an increased cost, and
there is a general advance on all
sides.
Aside from these supplies the veg
etable sources of fertilization are in
creasing in cost. Recent advances
in cotton seed has put cotton seed
meal at somewhat of an advance,
and this is a great source OF supply
for heterogeneous fertilizers in many
sections of the south.
The constant advance in prices
has caused many farmers to dispense
with the use of commercial fertii-
GERS when ever possible, and more
of them are raising their own Ter
tiliZer on the farms. They are feed
ing cattle, growing nitrogen gather
ing crops; using cotton seed and try
ing other various plans to enrich
the soil. The farmers who are fol-
lowing this method are rapidly i'm
proving their farms and paving the
way to a substantial and permanent
increase in the value Of their prop

Shirt Protector.

When man buys dress shirt nova
days he can depend on the bosom be-
ing absolutely spotless, since, owing to
new device that has been thought of,
the shirt is protected from the touch
Of soled fingers that so often were
wont to leave their mark on the fair
surface.
This new style of protection consists
OF an envelope Of transparent paper
that is large enough to hold the shirt,
keep 1t absolutely clean, and yet en-
abling one to see the size numbers
through it. Without adding much to
the cost, the envelope is a great econo-
my to the dealers and makers, since
with its use there is never any cause
for the return of shirts to the factory
that have been soiled in the handling.

LESSON TAUGHT BY BRAZIL.
Splendid Avenue in Rio de Jnneiro
Cut Through the SIums.

Splendid Avenue in Rio de JaneirG
Cut Through the sIums.
The most wonderful feature of Rio
de Janeiro Is the Avenda Central.
\ Imagine, If you can, city, Chicago,
for instance, awakening to the realiza-
tlon that there are ugliness, dirt and
disease in Its midst; that it's streets
are ill-paved, unwhoesome and unequal
to the traffic. Imagine Chicago deter
mined to change all this by drawing
a straight line through her slums, say
from the river at Madison street to the
corner Of Twelfth and Halsted streets,
with other straight lines parallel and
at right angles through other centers
of slunldcm.
And imagine Chicago, after pulling
down brick and stone, wood and plas-
ter, erecting on these straight lines
broad. well-paved, weIl-lighted avenues
faced on either side by palaces, shops,
cafes, clubs and business houes, all
newly built according to one harmonl-
Gus scheme, so that air and sunshine
enter where they were before unknown,
and SO that it becomes pleasure to
walk where hitherto confusion and dis
comfort were unavoidable
This Is what Rio did. The Avenida
was cut literally through the heart of
the city. !
From March 8, 1904, when the first |
house was unroOfed, until the opening !
of the Avenida for public use, Nov. 10, |
1J05-the Brazilian national holiday of |
ndependence-thera were G41 houses
demolished and over 1000 persons scat
tered to other and more wholesome
homes. The reactionists who object to
the whole plan say that for a tropical
city the old streets were best; that
these new, broad avenues which bring
into dark places have also
brought the first cases of sunstroke into
Rio. They fail to realize, of course,
what cleanliness and fresh air signify.
The total cost of the Atenida may
'each $SO,OOO,C00, but it will be worth ,
very cent Of it.
Of course, there are slums still in =
evidence in Rio. a city of 10000 peo- r
'le, one-third of whom are negroes and
many of these of the lowest. most ignO- t
ant type, cannot be reformed all at Il
nee. In the lanes behind the hills and :.
II the districts around the railway /,
tation there are native hives as pic u
uresque and as dirty, though not so 5
rowded, nor so cut off from sunlight !
