HOW FERTILIZERS
SHOULD BE USED
For Best Results They Should Be
Combined With Animal Ma
nure or Rotted Sod.

To obtain the best results from the
use OF chemical fertilizers they should
always be used in connection with ami
NAL manure or rotted sod. The two
give the greatest returns at the least
cost. The quantity TO apply to the
acre will depend upon the condition
of the ground. In soils which have
been built up by the free use OF sta
BILE manure or green crops a very
small quantity of fertilizer can be
profitably used to start the seed.
About $50 to 800 pounds may be APP
piled to the acre in the hill for corn.
Use good corn fertilizer. This
quantity will give the corn n vigorous
start. which II will maintain through
out the growing season. A fertilizer
should always be drilled in with the
grain. If sown in the drill or dropped
in the hill mix ii with the earth be-
fore dropping the grain or setting the
plant, says writer in the Baltimore
American. The phosphate should never
be thrown in a pile in the hill;
sprinkle It over a four-inch space. so
the first rainfall can dissolve the
plant food. 1t is then ready to be
taken up by the delicate corn roots
Land that is so poor that It cannot
grow weeds will not give profitable
yield OF corn with a little fertilizer
dropped in the hill. Such land needs
rotted vegetable matter This can be
best furnished by sewing cow-peas or
buckwheat and turning the crop down
when in full bloom. Thorough prepar-
alton OF the land before plonting and
extra culture during the season Of
growth will often give fair yield
from thin land. l have made a great
many practical experiments In the ap-
plication OF fertilizers to red clay and
rotten rock soils and l have invaria-
bly, found that the most profit was
realized when a good bonemeal or
other nitrogen fertilizer was used in
connection with stable manure or
rotted clover and grass sod.

on any other combination OF foods
available in the state.

Not only playing in the sand, but al

They are much better than gymnasium

Skipping the rope Is splendid exer-

turn the rope and another runs into it.
The habit of calculating just where the
rope is going to fall trains the child's

her movements. Instead of being n

volved in skipping Is also beneficial,
for it stimulates the liver and improves
the circulation.
There is a game called hopscotch,
in which squares with numbers are
chalked on the ground, and the players
hop from one to another, pushing a
stone with their feet.
This makes a child very sure and
light on her feet and does her nearly
as much good as a dancing lesson. If
you have a little girl who is always
'tumbling over herself" teach her to
play h%opscotch and she will improve.
Another excellent though rather I'M
graceful game for boys is that of wheel
barrows. One child goes down on his
hands and knees. Then another takes
hold of his feet. raises them up and
makes him walk along on his hands
alone. This position strengthens the
back and loins. Indeed. most gym
nastic teachers have an exercise very
similar to it when they have pupils
who suffer from the weary backache
which often accompanies too rapid
growth.

The MAGIC OF
OUTDOOR PLAY
L Combines Exercise and Recre-
alton For the Child In Such a
Way as to Promote Both
Health and Grace.

"HE love of mud pies Is inner
emf in all children. Try as
you may, you cannot eradi-
cate Il. IT Is ms strong In the
carefully nurtured child of wealth as
I'm the little ragamuffin at the corner.
Who knowsf Perhaps nature meant
this instinct for playing in the dirt for
a good purpose.
You all know the old fable of An
taeus. the wrestler. He was the son of
the earth and sea, and no one could
overcome him until Hercules learned
that the secret of his strength was In
his contact with the earth. No matter
how often he was thrown, he always
rose from the ground with renewed
energy. So Hercules vanquished him
by lifting him into the air and holding
him where he could not touch the
earth and draw strength and inspira-
ton from 1t.
In the old myth there is a grain of
truth. He who lives close to nature
draws from her boundless store of vi
tality. There is a subtle electricity in
the earth that invigorates those who
play In the soil as well as those who
work In 1t.
So If your children show a banker
ing for mud pies do not discourage
them. II there is no garden for them
to potter in buy a sand pile and let
them build forts and castles and make
pies IL they choose.
Don't worry whether they spoil their
clothes. Nowadays sensible mothers at
tire their children in garments that no
kind of rough usage can injure. Their
little overalls and play aprons have
many pockets that charm the heart of
the average youngster.
Some of these aprons. embroidered or
printed with scenes from Mother
Goose rimes. are charming and an
inspiration to play.
Such aprons may be made of linen,
denim, crash pique, khaki or galatea.
An old raincoat can be cut up to make
aprons that will be waterproof as well
as d%irtproof.

aprons. One of them is of red linen
