PAPER Sails a Success.

Paper may be so treated as to make

Such sails are not woven from strands
or threads, but are made up from COM
pressed sheets of paper, which are
made in the regular way, the pulp
having been thoroughly mixed with
certain chemicals and other sub
stances. These paper sails are mex.

WEEKLY LETTER OF
JOHN II. PAGE
Commissioner of Mines and Manufac.
lures Issues Letter Of Interest
To Farmers.

The soil is the basis of operation
In all agricultural work. The soil, or
the dirt Of which your land is made
contains those elements of nature re-
quired to make vegetable matter or
plants grow. The soil then is a
repository or storehouse for plant
food. The soil itself does not grow
plants. The elements of nature are
stored In the soil. The moisture or
water and warmth in the soil germi-
mates or sprouts the seed, and the
plant comes up" so to speak. Sand
would serve the same purpose. When
the seed sprouts, the seed itself seems
to decay and pass away. In doing
so 1t gives a certain amount of plant
food. sufficient to sustain life in the
young plant until its small roots
begin to develop. Then the plant
draws plant food from the soil and
gets it's sustenance. If a seed sprouts
and comes uD in clean white sand it
will look healthy and vigorous at
first, but soon die, because there is
no plant food for it. II it sprouts in
the soil it will grow and thrive in
proportion to the available plant food
In the soil, if properly cultivated.
There are ten elements of nature
in the soil on which plants feed and
live and grow. Heat, light and air
also are necessary These are drawn
from above. OF the elements of
nature in the soil, all soils contain
enough of each one except four,
aamely-nitrogen, phosphorus, potash
and lime. If only one of these ele-
ments were absent the plant would
not grow. II there is small amount
of any one element in proportion to
the others the plants, no matter what
they are will not do we'll. This will
explain why some soils will make
good crops and others will not. Diff
ferent crops also require differently
proportional quantities OF these ele-
ments, known as plant food. Thus
soil may produce fine crop of
grapes and poor crop of corn, cot
ton or oats.
The plants gather their own plant
food through their tiny roots. To
gather the plant food, there must be
moisture. The plants require great
deal of water, but to thrive the water
must contain the plant food, or ele-
ments of nature. Too much wafer
prevents the plants from getting the
proper portion of plant food, or
enough of it. II the plants grow too
large and rank and do not put on
enough fruit or seed, it is an indica-
ton that there is too much nitrogen
in proportion to phosphorus and
potash. II the plants are small and
scrawny under favorable conditions it
means lack of nitrogen. If you use
fertilizer remember these facts when
you buy or use 1t.
the fall or winter, and made loose in
the spring before planting. so the
ground will hold plenty of moisture,
and so the small roots of the plants
can find their way in all directions
in seach OF plant food. II manure is
used it should me thoroughly mixed
IN the soil. The small roots will find
their way to It and gather the plant
food. The plant food is taken up by
the small hair-like roots. Remember
that these roots extend out and away
from the plant. So you see that put

by physicians attending the conference

they are careless. DR.. William b. Brins-

treated many patients suffering from
felons and other minor complaints for
which the manicurist was responsible.
Dr. Edward Wallace Lee. of Manhattan.
said the manicures Of this city had much
to answer for in that within the last few
years at least 100 cases of felons and
other serious inhammations OF the
thumbs and fingers caused by their care
lessness had come under his observation.
1T Is high time that something was
done to have manicures trained in their
business" he said. I'VE are permitting
them under the present laws to do what
in some cases is minor surgery and yet
as a class they do not know what they
are doing.
THE BARRIERS are as a rule fairly well
trained and. besides a cut from a razor
may be treated easily. But the manicure,
knowing nothing about antiseptics, turns
back the cuticle from the nails and de-
prives the end of the fingers OF their
natural protection. Either from the lack
of cleanliness OF her own implements or
because her operations have unduly ex-
posed the skin at the base OF the nails
by making IL. unduly sensitive, the Gus
