How q Simple Paste
Will Remove Hairs
Modes and Toilettes.) ,

(Modcs and Toilettes)
Many beauty specialists now em-
ploy a simple powder known as dela-
tone for the removed of superfiuous
hairs and whitening the skin
Persons wishing TO remove fuzz or
hairy growths from the skin without
employing the painful and costly cleo
trio needle should buy an original
package Of delatone from the druggist
and with a little mix enough water TO
form a thick paste Spread this on
the skins surface and after two or
three minutes rub off and wash. You
Will find the hairs are gone while the
skin is left white and smooth.
While delatone costs a dollar a
package, il is really the cheapest and
most satisfactory thing one can use
as IL Is unfailing.

but 6.1S per cent of nitrogen. There
will be a lot of difference in the value
of your formula and the results you
are likely to obtain from it, if you get
these figures confused and use ammo

phasize the Importance OF purchasing
cotton seed meal on the basis of the nj
trogen content.
Securing reliable seed is a dificult
matter. In buying corn, one should
purchase it on the ear, and in buying
cotton seed there should be some rec
ord of it's performance. You should
be able to obtain information as TO the
character of the soil and the conditions
under which the seed has been devel-
oped. Sometimes seeds are produced
under what may be termed almost arti-
fetal conditions, and then when planted
on soil not so well fortified do not
give as good results. 1t is always
more or less of an experiment to pur-
chase seed of unknown source and from
distant localities or where environ
mental conditions are not the same to
those under which 1t is to be planted.
1t is often best to buy locally grown
seed.

Then lay OF your corn in four and a
half-foot rows, and plant about IL to Is
inches in the drill row. A prolific vari-
ETY. may be planted closer than a large
cared sort Planting the corn by the
first of April will be all right. OF
course, earlier planting in your section
is advisable when seasonal conditions
are at all favorable. In our judgment
you would find it well to use 700 to 500
pounds of about a 1894 formula on this
corn, and we would prefer to put 500
to 600 pounds in the soil and use the
balance as a side application. This side
application may be made any time after
the corn is up and growing vigorously,
but it should be put on at least two
weeks before the corn punches to tassel.
The advisability of this course is due to
the fact that the later application of
fertilizer may stimulate growth at the
expense of grain In our experience
putting the fertilizer under the drill
row as indicated, has given greater sat
isfaction than putting all of it on after
the corn is planted and up. On very
sandy land it is sometimes not advisable
to put all the fertilizer under the drill
row, but with land of the character de-
scribed in your letter, we think this is
safe practice. There are a large num-
Der of corn planters on the market which
give good satisfaction, and you should
have no difficulty in securing one at a
reasonable price. You might write to
the International Harvester Co, Allan
ia, Ca, B. F. Avery & Sons, Louisville,

commences, use nitrate of soda as a top
dressing at the rate of 100 to 300 pounds
per acre. Bright pine straw should be
scattered over the bed so as to pro-
tect the berries from dirt and sand which
win otherwise adhere to them. Straw
berries require clean cultivation and are
best plowed up after two years of bear
ing. II IS impossible to say what the
relative profit from cultivating an acre
OF strawberries and English peas might
be. This would depend much on season
al conditions and the skill with which
the crop is marketed. There is no difficulty
about shipping English peas long dis
tances. Large quantities are produced in
Florida and marketed I'm New York and
other eastern cities. There is an excellent
demand for this crop in all local markets

Culpepper cotton stood first in the
tests of 1910 in our demonstration field.
The yield per acre of seed cotton in
that year was 2,737.5 pounds. The
percentage of lint was 36.5. the bolls
per pound IS, and the percentage of
disease ga. 1t made a very excel
lent record during that year. Varieties
which stood close to it in 1910 in
land, Pullnot, Cook and Triumph. The
Culpepper was not tested in 1909. Among
the best yielding varieties in that year
Culpepper stood 18th. In the expert
ments Of 1911 high fertilization was
not followed, an endeavor being made
to grow cotton more nearly under nor
NAL farm conditions. The yield Of
seed cotton per acre was 1855 pounds
which ginned out 575.5 pounds of lint,
or better than bale per acre. The
per cent of lint was 81. Among the
varieties which made the best yield in
1911 were Butts Improved, New Era,
Triumph, Sunbeam originated on the
college farm, and Peterkin. From the
experience we have had with varieties
of cotton, we would recommend Gull
pepper as a good variety to grow
on soils whic hare we'll enriched. We
also think that standard selected strains
of Cleveland's Big Boil, Russells, Cook,
Pullnot, Triumph and Uncle Sam are
good sorts to cultivate. One should en-
deavor to secure seed of a selected
strain which has been produced near
the environment under which it is to
be grown.

Four of the New Birmingham Realty Stores Expected to Be Ready
 by October l

Construction is progressing rapidly on the s1, ,000,000 work of the Birmingham Realty company on First avenue. between Fourteenth street and Seventeenth street. Four stores are now under construction. Two of them will be used by the Alabama Grocery company and two of them will be used by the Roden Grocery company. The foundations are in and it is understood that the firms will be installed in the buildings by October 1. l. C. Beatty, gen. eral manager of the Birmingham Realty company, who is managing the big under taking. is very much pleased with the gen. eral outlook. The arrangements in ref erence to the cold storage plant and the shipping facilities to be arranged by the Louisville and Nashville railroad will be outlined by time the stores are completed.
 The two interests plan to duplicate the Bush terminals in New York city and ar quantity of perishable goods, a demand for which service is said to be consid- erably more pressing now than in some years locally.
 The part to be played by the Louisville and Nashville is the reclamation. of a portion of the downtown yards from trackage purposes. That has almost been arranged. The company will get the final main line arranged soon, while the tenn porary main line has given, the builders plenty of room to work in the meantime.
