been determined by actual experimental
ton on a commercial scale that they
can be used economically az source OF
potash. Estimates based on costs of
similar operations indicate that they can
be SO used.
OF ''ammoniates there Is large
source in the ammonia produced as by
product in the distiliation Of coal for the
production of gas or coke, or both. This
source is but partially developed. as by
the methods most commonly practiced in
this country this possible by-product is
not recovered. The amount of ammonia
now going to waste is almost large
enough to supply all Of the "ammoni-
ates" now demanded by the fertilizer
trade. Thee abattoirs supply large
amount of tankage and dried blood of
high fertilizer value; but of these pos
sible by-product there is still an enormous
loss through the lack Of organization and
co -operation in the small-scale slaughter
Of animals for food.

Washington, Jan. 5-Present agricul-
hlral practice prescribes the use OF three
chemical elements as soil amend
ment," 'stimulant for plant growth"
or q plant FOOD as it is variously put
These three elements when applied to the
soil in which a crop is growing have
been found by practice to afford an In
creased crop yield. They are phospho-
rous, potassium, and nitrogen, spoken Of
by the respective trade terms of phos-
phoric acid. potash, and "ammoniates."
In the commercial fertilizers phos-
phoric acid is found in the form OF cal
cium phosphate. which is bone phosphate
or rock phosphate. usually treated with
sulphuric acid to render it soluble. Po-
fash is found as a salt or salts of pltas-
SUM. either sulphate or chloride, and
the ammonia as the inorganic salt Of
ammonia. ammonium sulphske, the inor-
ganic salts of nitric acid, sodium nitrate,
and inorganic compound of nitrogen.
calcium cyanamid, or the organic com
pounds of nitrogen, contained in animal
or vegetable refuse matter. cottonseed
meal. abattoir tankage, or fish scrap.
The usual commercial fertilizers contain
these three elements and have the desig-
nation OF complete fertilizers" These
are sold under various brand names. the
various brands frequently being recon-
mended for particular crops. The pro-
portion of the three essential ingredients
is varied: as usual thing that of the
phosphoric acid is considerably higher
than the other two, which are present in
about the same proportion. Thus, for ex-
ample, 1922 mixture" contains six per
cent. phosphoric acid (P205), two per cent.
ammonia (NH3), and two per cent potash
tK2O). Its selling price in the retail
market is based on its analysis. Little
attention is paid to the source Of these
ingredients so long as the essential COM
pounds are available" or readily may
be decomposed or made soluble for the
use OF the plants.
The Nations supply of these three
common ingredients Of fertilizer may be
summarized as follows: OF phosphoric
acid there is an abundant supply in the
large deposits of phosphate rock in Flor
ida and Tennessee. and the enormous de-
posits of Idaho. Montana, and Wyoming.
OF potash, now obtained exclusively
from the German mines, there is little
known in this country outside OF the des-
sicated, residues in Searles Lake, Cal,
and the giant kelps of the Pacific littoral.
In the latter, there is much more than
enough to supply the present demands OF
the fertilizer trade of the United States,
the present annual consumption of potash

position. At present the kelps are not

THE EARLY HABIT.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: It isn't bad plan to begin to think of Christmas about the Fourth of July. It saves the wear and tear on the nerves, and is more economical than doing Chrlstmesing in a hurry.
 For a number of years have started my Christmas shopping as soon as 1t is warm enough to spend the afternoons on the porch. I buy good material and en1broider blouses, underwear, neck wear, also make fancy aprons, bags, etc., which are always more appre- ciated than the trifies purchased at a greater cost a few days before Christ mas.
 I have q box call my Christmas box" and as soon as gift is com pleted cheek the name of the recipi- ent on my list and put the gift in my box. Lest year had everything ready for my Christmas fully a month be- fore, and the expense coming gradually hardly knew had spent the money.
 This method meets the requirement of the woman in moderate circum- stances better than any other plan, and 1t is a good habit for anyone.
 Novelties are obtainable in the stores at all seasons of the year, if one keeps her eyes open, and the price is more reasonable now than in December.
 Just try this plan.

SOCIAL CORNER POEM.
So +I,e World Goes.

\ So the World Goes. (Tnis poem was written in December, 1882, by Col John A. Joyce. at the Gait house, Louisville, Ky. at the re- quest oe George D. Prentice. Colonel Joyce died on January 1s.) Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; For this brave old earth must borrow
 its mfrth,
 It has troubles enough of its own. Sing! and the hills will answer; Sigh! It is lost on the air; The echoes bound to a joyful sound, But shrink from voicing care. Rejoice. and men will seek you; Grieve, and they tur nand go; They want full measure of all your
 pleasure.
 But tEey do not want your woe. Be glad and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all; There are none to decline your nectared
 wine,
 But alone you must drink life's gall Feast. and your halls are crowded. Fast, and the world goes by; Succeed and give, and it helps you
 live,
 But no man can help you die. There is room in the halls of pleasure For a long and lordly train, But ore by one we must all file on Through the narrow aisles of pain.

THE BEST WAY TO DRIVE AWAY
 THE BLUES.

Dear Editor and Sister of the Social Corner: As I was feeling rather lone ly today thought the best way to drive away the blues is to have a lit tie chat with Social Corner Sisters, if only by the aid of the pen, for | know by experience that after a per- sons health breaks down they spend more lonesome hours on account of not being able to do very much work. have passed away many dull min utes by reading the good letters the Sisters write, and am thankful we are able to have such an interesting Cor ner to read and cheer one up.
 The Social Corner picnic is over. I am glad so many of the Sisters could be present and enjoy it. I should have liked to have been among them, but had to be content to stay at home and read about it.
 O. H. O.: Will answer your letter and send with this also card to Ready.
 We have been having a good sup ply of rain, of which we have been badly in need and now we need some warm days to make things grow. The early frost did a good deal of dam age around here.
 Best wishes to all the Sisters and the Editor.

It was very pleasant surprise for himself and his better half, and it gave abundant evidence of Social Corner R.m in preparing good things and generosity in supplying them. We thank the Doctor for the thoughtful ness which prompted the sending of the remedy for the consequences of over-indulgence, since the tempting viands warranted this precautionary measure. The twain express sincere thanks to all concerned.

so elaborate during the present reign as they were in King Edwards time King George is not nearly so much o1 an epicure as his father was. He has to be exceedingly careful what he eats, and he avoids rich food both for preference and of necessity. for he oc- casionalIy suffers from indigestion.
 Both the king and queen prefer boiled fish, and meat cooked quits plainly, without an abundance of cun- ningly-seasoned sauces which delight the heart of a clever French chef. A recent dinner menu at the palace con- sisted of boiled turbot, a dish of cut lets. a fruit salad, and a savory. Cham pagne is rarely drunk except on spec ial occasion. but the label and every thing which might signify the brand is removed.
 The czar of Russia is said to employ upwards of 1000 people in one way or another in his kitchens. Though pos sessed of a good appetite, the Russian sovereign is not fusSy over his food. and providing the dishes are good, will eat most of the things set before him. On the other hand, an imperial ban quet is a magnificent affair with re- gard to food, wines, plate and service generally.
 The German emperor, likewise. is said to possess a fine appetite. and even after a late dinner will be able
 to enjoy a plate of cold meat in his private apartments before retiring 10 rest. The Kaiser, in the public eye, eats as far as possible on a military plan like his own soldiers. However.
 during this campaign he is generally | followed by the latest thing in field Kitchens, so one may imagine he does
 not subsist. like poor Hans, on bread and sausage for days. When in public
 the Kaiser may be seen lunching on the same fare as his men, accompanied by plenty of lager beer.
 Nevertheless. in the matter of en- | tertaining his Teutonic majesty can be very lavish. and thoroughly keeps up
 the national character of love of good
 cheer. The German court used to | have a large kitchen staf under the | superintendence of four chefs-Ger-
 man, English, French and Italian re- | spectively. Each chef was responsible for the famed dishes of his own country, for the imperial cuisine was | never exclusively German, though the | national dishes frequently appeared | on the menus.-Tit Bits.
