FUNCTIONS or FERTILIZERS
Commercial or Artificial Article Is
Used to Increase Fertility Above
Natural Capacity.
CBy c. "; cQLvER, Assistant Chemis

(By c W. COLVER. Assistant Chemist,
Idaho Experiment StationD
Fertilizers are applied to the soil
for two general purposes-to main.
tain and to increase fertility.
Chief among those fertilizers that
are used for maintaining the fertil-
ity of the land is barnyard manure.
This is its main function. and just
as long as the principal constitu-
ents of the manure are all derived
from the soil it cannot increase its
ferGlity-at best, it can only main
tain its fertility
II. however, the barnyard manure
is obtained wholly or In part from
external sources it may increase fer
tility. Two such cases are plainly
evident. For examples, when the
barnyard manure is purchased from
town stables. as it is often done for
truck gardening near cities, or when
1t is derived from fertilizing ingredi-
ents contained in oil cake or other
concentrated feeding stuffs consumed
by stock.
The commercial or artificial fertll.
izers. which have been employed for
a good many years, are used chiefly
for increasing the fertility of the soil
or, in other words, increasing the
productiyeness of the soil above it's
natural capacity. Although this Is
their leading function. they act as
restorative agents whenever they are
applied when barnyard manure is
withheld
In general. the restitution OF the
fertility of the land is accomplished
chiefly by the barnyard manure that
is returned to the soil during a given
crop rotation. and the increase in
crops is produced by commercial or
artificial fertilizers.

Iolnted. Head Hair Pens.

The newest thing in hair decoration
is he pin with the jointed head. It
is big shell pin, Of the sort worn
in pairs-or in greater numbers-and
the ends or tops are studded with

on hinges 80 that they may be turned
at any angle to the prongs OF the

Hence. II the knot or strand into
which they are to be thrust is only
an inch deep they can be thrust In
lengthwise and the hea1 OF the pin
can be turned at right angles to the
prongs in such a way that fits full
beauty will show against the hair
There are other fancy pins with
curved prongs CT shanks. so that they
can be pushed into a carving strand
OF hair in such Il way that they arc
comfortable and secure. 1t is often

When fall is mere. and the price of
eggs begins to climb upward, with the
sure prospect of good prices all win
ter, then those who have given but
little attention to the poultry during
the rest of the year will begin to ask
How shall make my hens lay
through the winter?"
1t is uphill work to take flock of
hens that have been poorly cared for
and are altogether unprepared and
by caring for them after cold wealth
er is already here, get them to lay
ing before spring.
The time to begin preparations for
the winter harvest is in the spring,
and the start must be made by choos-
ing for the parents of your laying
stock only those fowls that are strong
and healthy and good laying stock.
By this care in selecting the eggs
from which TO hatch your next win
ters layers you give them hereditary
tendencies to be good layers and good,
strong constitutions to help them de-
yelop quickly and enable them to stand
che strain of early and heavy lay
ing.
If this has all been done, and the
little chicks Matched. then winter eggs
or no winter eggs depend entirely on
your care for and feeding of these
chicks to prepare them for their win
ters work.
They must be fed we'll and a variety
Of food, SO that the whole body viii
develop properly.
Bone and muscle must keep ahead
Of the fat, but if only fattening food
is given them they cannot grow bone
and muscle, so feed them bran and cut
oats or oatmeal and cut bone, as
we'll as coarsely ground corn. They
must also have food in some form.
Good. sweet beef scraps are all right
for this, or skim milk will take the
place of meat.
Although they should be fed as
much as possible to hurry their
growth, they must not be fed enough
to cause indigestion. They must be
given the habit of eating a great deal
of food but must also be given good
digestion with which to handle it.
The ability to assimilate large guam
titles OF food is absolutely necessary
for a heavy layer.
As an aid in helping them to digest
their food and in growing muscle ex-
arcise is very important. If they are

Eeedlnn Corn TO Pics.

The feeding Of corn alone 10 pigs,
as is practiced on many farms in this
country. has done more than any one
thing TO reduce the vitality of these
animals. Corn alone is not balanced

any other animal, and It cannot be fed
corn alone and be as strong and

Gaby Deslys' Influence.
Although Gaby Deslys is a daring
little parsonage who deliberately goes
in for wearing startling fashions, her
example has had certain effect on
the world of fashion in Paris. She
has, in truth. made feather evening
headdresses fashionable again.
Last spring every one was wearing
tall mounts, standing erect from the
forehead, in the evening; then, dur.
ing the summer season this style was
voted bad form. Now. however, it is
again the fashion to wear very high.
thin mounts standing erect above the
forehead in the evening, These
mounts are generally attached to
jeweled band or invisbly held in place
with the aid of strong hairpins. They
present very imposing appearance
and tend to make their wearer look
unusually tall, which at the present
moment is an important thing, as all
the newest fashions have been created
for women OF FIVE feet eight inches
and upward
Some OF the prettiest of these high
mounts are arranged in graceful curves
which wave back slightly over the
hair at the back. In metallic feathers
they are charming and also in the
new make of horse hair which initiates
almost perfectly the fine ospreys
which used to be so fashionable 1t
is certainly true that the example OF
humane American women has in
fluenced the whole OF Europe. Now
that there is no demand for real
aigrets OF ospreys. the managers Of
the big department stores are obliged
to lay in an immense stock of beauti-
fully made mounts which bear no real
relationship to harmless birds This
is step in the right direction and it
is one of which America may well be
proud
