PUTTING MARRIAGE
ON BUSINESS BASIS
Five Funds TO Which II Is Necessary
that Hubby Contribute.

4 unique plan for putting married
life On business basis is outlined In
the Woman's Home Companion. Says
this magazine:
The first matter 10 consider is the
amount of assets available. This. OF
course. amounts TO exactly what the
outside world considers the services
OF the producing partner 10 be worth.
This income must be divided TO meet
the various expenses of the business
under a general classification as fol-
lows:
Il. General Operating Expense
This is the most important department
OF all. and includes food, servants. fuel,
light. rent Cor interest and taxes).
-. Sinking Fund.-This is also a
most important account and should
not for any reason be overlooked.
Upon II depends absolutely the prosper
ity OF the firm through periods OF
financial depression. Ii includes saw
ings bank deposits and life-insurance
premiums.
%. Repairs and Depreciation.-Thi
is often considered part OF the operat
ing expense. but il is better kept sep
arate. II includes depreciation of the
plant and on equipment. such as dish
es, cooking utensils. furniture, bed and
table linen.
"A. The Contingent Fund-This in
cludes church dues. charities. theater
tickets, telephone and books and maya
zines.
IS. Emergency Fund. - This in
cludes doctor. druggist and dentist.
In order 10 transact business on a
sound basis all of these funds must be
considered. What remains OF the cap
ital may be divided between the part
ners as a salary. From their salaries
the partners must pay their personal
expenses OF clothing and incidentals
The size of the salaries depends entire
~ upon the economical management
of the affairs OF the firm. IL is unwise
10 raise salaries at the expense of the
sinking fund though this is often a
temptation. In case the partners feel
that their salaries are not large enough
IL is better 10 appoint an investigating
committee 10 eliminate petty graft and
extravaganza. They should examine
carefully the operating expense. II is
sometimes economical for a domestic
firm TO build its own plant. instead of
hiring one. and it Is often possible by
engaging in outside industry. such as
kitchen gardening or poultry raising.
to reduce the food expense and save
money in the emergency fund"

Fertilizer for Potatoes.

The old tradition that potatoes are
peculiarly hungry for potash cannot be
stamped out. But IL isn't true. This
Is fact many times demonstrated.
Much potato land is deficient most of
all in phosphoric acid. That is the first
need. In the fertilizer phosphoric acid
should run high. Some land. we'll ma
nured or covered, needs only phos
phorus. Where complete fertilizer
pays. try one high in this one element
DO not use too much nitrogen. IL
makes big vines. but does not put the
big tubers in the hill II manure has
been used. try 400 or 500 pounds OF
acid phosphate or steamed bone per
acre and eighty pounds sulphate of
potash Al any rate. try some carrier
OF phosphoric acid Use il freely.-Na-
tional Stockman.

ColIarettes for Summer.

They are the newest idea Of a clever
neckwear maker.
Deeper than collars--in fact. minia-
ture capes-these charming bits of
lace and ribbon will make a pretty
addition to a thin frock when worn
over the shoulders.
Most OF them are made with white
lace, plated or frilled. in one or two
sections. fastening in front with rib
bon bows and ends.
Others are of white batiste, sheer
and fine embroidered In white, cut
circular fashion and with a dainty col
or beneath. urually pink or blue. The
color shows through and then the rib
bons and rosettes are of the same
hue. A little rufile OF lace or white
embroidery edges these.
A deft-fingered girl could easily con-
trive one for wear during summer
evenings.

ling tobacco leaves with the hands

says the worms will be expelled with

Dairy Feeding Experiment.

The Wisconsin Experiment Station
is trying out the plan Of feeding dairy
cows as many pounds OF grain daily
per COW as she produces pounds Of
butter fat during the week. or seven
shines as much grain as the amount Of
fat produced daily. The cows receive
as much hay and silage as they will
eat up clean, usually requiring twenty.

three or four pounds of hay daily

LITTLE ACTIVITY
IN STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK. Nay 27.-The stock mar,
ket today was relieved from speculative
liquidation in Reading, which proved the
depressing factor yesterday. The discon-
tinuance Of this selling opened the way TO
some recovery. The dealings were almost
entirely in the hands Of traders and were
not significant. The volume Of the days
transactions fell to the smallest total for
any days business since early in March.
A good deal of attention is being di-
verted 10 the fotation Of new securities,
the feature in that respect today being the
public offering of stocks in the new United
dry goods company. The formation Of this
company has served TO emphasize an im-
preston that new series of industrial
consultations and mergers may be aP-s
preaching.
This impression was a factor also IN the
concerted advance in the independent steel
industries Rumors have been current
some time of the projected formation Of
holding company to take over number Of
these companies that have operated sepa-
rately, most of them being in the south.
The conviction is held also that the work
ing of the new combination will not be an
tagonistic to the United States steel cor
porstion. The demonstrated power Of the
principal interest in open competition for
business since the hrst of the year is said
TO be an impelling motive in the proposed
new formation. although public policy
would forbid close assimilation with the
big corporation. United States steel itself
bettered its record price by "a. -
The Gould group Of railroad properties
was conspicuously strong. The advance
was attributed to steps in the working OF
the financial plan known to be maturing
for several months.
The feeling regarding the grain crop po-
sition was distinctly improved, being in
huenced by tho hopeful opinions expressed
by the Price Current as to the steady prog
ress Of the winter wheat crop up to the
present time
Reports Of damage by foods in the lower
Mississippi valley did not receive much
attention. The better reports concerning
crops made operators long Of stocks less
disinclined to hold them over the approach
ing three days holiday. Anxiety over the
complexion of the forthcoming favorable
reports of the June ! condition Of the
grain crops has had q repressive influence
on the recent speculation in stocks.
Chicago is reported TO be lending money
in New York, and the rate for time loans
over the year end has fallen to 3is per
