chicsao Horse Market.

Chicago, sept. iO.--It was d Iath,ic: :
slow market for bulk of horses on
offer Thursday. During the early days
of the week there was some action
noted on nearly all grades. but that
demand has diminished and it is hard
now to find buyers for the big weight
offerings. There is always a demand
for the big-weight horses of the best
quality, but it takes only a small num-
Der to take care of that call and the
balance of the crop of big weights
finds slow outlet.
Tho trade has been rather slow there
is no material change noted in price
range as compared with last week, tho
it has been harder to get the prices.
French army inspectors are taking
large number of horses on the local
market. they having two representa-
tives working. and their order. along
with the British contract, is able to
take care OF the offerings. They have
been paying a stationary range of
prices for horses accepted by them,
and it seems that their order is large
enough to take care of the arrivals of
army type horses for some time to
come.
Receipts for the first two days are
falling off from expectations. From the
manner in which receipts came at the
start it was thought that the run for
the week would pass last week. but
been about $500 horses received,
against 3.0a1 for same days last week,
1864 a yea ago and lO9S for same

TO GROW TOMATOES.
Characteristic of the Good Plant Is q
Strong and Extensive Root.

Many growers of late tomatoes for
canning purposes underestimate the
importance of good plants for setting,
says bulletin recently issued by the
New Jersey State College Of Agricul-
ture
Under ideal weather and soil condi-
tions very small and weak plants will
live" the bulletin continues, but the
experience of several years past In
some parts of New Jersey has shown
that such conditions are not apt to
prevail; hence, in dry seasons and al
ways in nOrtherly localities where re-
planting is likely to give too late a
crop, the strength Of the first plants
set is an all important point. Some
planters prefer to run the risk Of los
ing plants, with the intention Of re-
planting such as are lost, rather than
to take a little extra care in produc-
ing sets of the best kind. In the un-
usual season. such as that of 1914,
such growers are almost certain to
sustain a loss.
"The first characteristic Of the strong
plant is a strong and extensive root
system, since with such a root system
there usually goes a stock stem, which
all growers like to have Crowded
plants cannot develop the right kind of
roots, for the simple reason that they
have not room enough for expansion.
Some growers who aim to get an early
start by sowing seed in the greenhouse
or cold frame may often lose all they
expect to gain. because they feel COM
PEELED to utilize all the space to the
utmost by crowding the seedlings. In
many such cases field sowing with
more space between the plants would
give as good or better results with
less labor.
'It is the opinion Of the experiment
station authorities that transplanting
could be done much more easily and
cheaply than many growers seem to
think. Where transplanting is not
done. thinning is advised. Growers are
urged to try the underwriting method
on a few rows this year, as this meth
cd promises good results"

All those who have stables and want
to get the best out of their stable ma

every day should make a layer about
six inches deep. cover this with about
two inches Of dirt and continue this

a new pile every three months. Be

be taken that the fertilizer does not
touch the bark or roots. Remember,
trees take up food with their fibrOus
roots, and fbrous roots usually are
near the ends of big supporting roots,
and tree roots usually go as far out
ward as the branches extend.
This tells where to apply fertilizer.
It does no more harm to feed your
trees, etc, once a year than it does to
treat yourself right. The old, foolish
argument that forest trees are not
fertilized will seem more foolish If you
give it a second thought.
There is no reason for broadcasting
manures in the vegetable garden. 1t Is
wasted energy. Apply manure to each
hill or row, with dirt between 1t and
the seed. This gives the greatest re-
suits for the least expenditure Of time
and money. No need to feed weeds.

SUCCESS FROM FERTILIzING
Vegetable Matter and Nutrient Quail.
ties Found In Stable Product.

The success from fertilizis&&s due to
two facts. the readiness with which
the fertilizer gives up its nutrient parts
and the ability of the land to hold these
nutrient parts and keep them from
being washed away before taken up.
Loamy or so called rich soils hold
their nutrient part in readiness because
there is sufficient vegetable matter to
make it light. This gives a chance for
the air to aid the germs Of fertilization
to increase and multiply, to prepare the
substances to be taken up by the
plants.
Heavy clay soil produces slowly until
the vegetable matter increases. Sandy
soils unless well supplied with vegeta-
BILE matter permit the fertilizer to filter
away beyond reach Of plant roots be
fore the plants get all out of it
For general purposes stable manures
give best results all around. They have
the vegetable matter as well as the nu-
trient qualities. In some kinds, such
as COW, sheep manures, ETC., the nu-
trient qualities are more quickly avail
able than in horse manure. Horse ma

tendency to be either all straw, which

KENT COUNTY GETS new SCHOOLS

Professor Harry Hayward, president Of
the Co Operative Educational Association
OF Delaware, organized at a meeting held
in Delaware College several weeks ago.
for the purpose of co operating with the
United States Bureau of Education for an
educational survey in the State, was in
Washington recently in conference with
DR. ClaxtOn, the United States Commits.
sioner of Education. Various phases of
the proposed work to be done here were
discussed, and Prof Hayward says tie
indications are that the Federal bureau
will co operate even more than was at
first thought of
Miss Julia Lathrop of the Children's
Bureau of the Department of Commerce
and Labor, may assist with the work
here also DR.. Warren Wilson, of the
Home Mission Board of the Presbyterian
Church.
Plans are about complete for the dem
onstration home making schools in Kent
and Sussex counties. The idea is to take
instruction in home making direct to
those who actually makes the homes.
Miss Foreman, of Elsemere, has been Sc
secured as one of the teachers in these
schools, and another one will be selected
in few days.
Plans for these schools we're discussed
at a conference between DR.. Samuel G.
Mitchell, president OF Delaware College
Miss Winifred ]. Robinson, dean ef the
Woman's College Wesley Webb, secre-
tary of the State Board of Agriculture
Miss Caudell, instructor in home eco
nomics at the Women's College Miss
Carrie LyfOrd, specialist in home eco
nomics in the United States Bureau ot
Education Professor Harry Hayward
and Miss Foreman. 1t was decided to
have four schools, two in Kent and two
in Sussex, with one teacher for each
county. Each school will have sessions
three days a week.
1t was decided to locate one Of the
schools at Rising Sun, about four miles
from Dover, and the other school within
driving distance, so the same teacher can
teach three days q week in one school
and three days in the other. The school
sessions will start at 10 80 O'Clock and
last for three hours.
Miss Caudell stated that many homes
we're visited and practically all the women
who were seen showed interest in the
school. The Rising Sun school
will be held in a school house, and one |
room will be fitted up as a kitchen. Miss
Caudell Gays that in addition to cooking, |
home management, clothing and any |
problem the people may suggest will be |
taken up.

Zinc Arsenic as an Inssetieide.

Zinc arsenite has been used both In
the paste and powder forms with much
success for the belted cucumber beetle
as well as for some other insects Of
this class. 1t has proved to be one OF
the most effective sprays for use In
humid climates. as it appears to last
longer. Ne other arsenical has given
better results, and in the majority Of
cases the mortality has been higher
than with any other arsenical spray.
The powder. when used with cactus to
make it adhere. is to be preferred for
general use over any arsehical now on
the market. This espray surpasses in
lasting qualities any Of the arsenicals
and at the same time gives a higher
mortality. In action it is somewhae
slower than paris green, but it gives
better results in the end. Zinc arsenite,
however, should not be used on plants
that are nearly ready for market, for
the poison does not wash of easily.
