THE FERTILIZER SITUATION
Farmers in Trouble

Farmers are today confronted by
a most serions situation with refer
ence to Fertilizers. AS every
farmer who reads the papers
knows, Potash, one of the lea ding
and best ingredients generally
used in fertilizers, is unobtainable
except at almost prohibitive prices
because of the embargo placed on
the expectation of this commodity
from Germany, where the great
bulk of all the Potash in the world
is produced.
This being the case, even the
best grades of ready-mixed Ferti-
lizers will this year carry only a
small proportion of their usual
amount of Potash and, in view of
this fact, it is all-important that the
farmer should scrutinize carefully
his Fertilizers and know exactly
what he is paying for.
The ONLY WAY YOU CAN BE
ABSOLUTELY SURE ABOUT WHAT
YOU ARE BUYING IS TO PURCHASE
ONLY THE CRUDE MATERIALS AND
MIX THEM YOURSELF.
c. S. Page of Hyde Park has
obtained Formulas from the Yer
mont Experiment Station giving
ingredients which experience and
a multitude of tests show to be
best adapted to Vermont soils and
Vermont crops and by writing to
him he will cheerfully furnish these
Formulas showing the most eco
nomical and practical combinations
for almost any desired crop, at the
same time giving the cost of any de-
sired combinations ofMuriate ofPot-
ash, Nitrate of Soda, Raw Ground
Bone, Basic Stag, Acid Phosphate,
Fertilizer Salt. etc.
These facts about Fertilizers cost
the farmer nothing except postal
card on which to ask for them, and
since they certainly can do no
harm, and may prove of value to
the farmer, the question as to
whether he should or should not
write for them is not debatable.-

MOVING PICTURES IN JAPAN.
Shoes Are Dotted at the Door, and
Spectators Sit on the Floor.

Shoes Are Dotted at the Door, and
Spectators Sit on the Floor.
Many of the motion picture theaters
in Japan, particularly in Tokyo, where
there are over 100, are quite as elegant
as some to be found in any American
city. You can secure admission for as
low as 5 cents up to as high as 80
cents. In the cheaper portions of most
theaters the natives sit crOsslegged on
the floor in characteristic Japanese
fashion. They remove their shoes be-
fore entering, and an attendant takes
charge of these.
Both American and European pic
lures are shown, but the principal at
traction is a long Japanese play, which
is presented in a very unique fashion.
In fact, it may be said that the Japa-
nese have real talking pictures. The
film is produced in the same manner
as stage play, with every portion of
dialogue spoken.
When the picture is projected an ac-
tor and actress stand on each side of
the screen and repeat the dialogue in
full view Of the spectators. The two
reciters share the parts played by the
different characters. AS their spoken
words keep strict time with the lip
movements of the silent artists, the re-
suit, as may be imagined, is very effec-
tive.-Popular Electricity.

Shelley Was a Queer Boy.

The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley as a
small boy was an eccentric little being.
He used to dress his four. sisters to
represent iends, and, filing a fire
stove with some inf1ammable fluid and
setting it aname, he would marshal the
diabolical procession to the back door.
As boy at Elton he would watch the
Hvelong night for ghosts and consulted
his books how to raise one. His diet
in after years was meager enough to
bring him weird fancies. Bread became
his chief sustenance, and his pockets
were well stored with it.
A circle upon the carpet, clearly de-
fined by an ample verge Of crumbs,
often marked the place where he had
long sat at his studies, his face nearly
in contact with his book, devouring
bread at intervals amid his profound
distractions Sometimes he ate raisins
with it, and his sweet tooth was i'm
mense.

KILLED In BATTLE.
Methods of Different Nations For lden
tifying the Dead.

Methods OF Different Nations For lden-
tifying the Dead.
When a German soldier falls in bat.
tie he is identified by little metal
disk which he carries. This disk bears
a number, and this number is tele-
graphed to Berlin. There the soldiers
name is determined. This system is
as effective as everything else connect
ed with the German army.
The British use an aluminium disk
that contains, besides marks of identi
fication. the soldiers church utilization.
The Japanese system is similar, each
soldier wearing three disks, one around
his neck, another on his belt and the
third in his boot. The Russians wear
a numbered badge.
The United States army uses cloth
tab woven into the shoulder strap OIL
the tunic The French use Identified
The French once made use of metal
Identification badges, but these proved
an irresistible attraction to the saw
ages whom the French faced in Afri-
ca, so the cards were substituted.
Austria still uses a badge of gun metal
in the form of a locket with parchment
leaves inside.
Turkey has no Identification badges
for her soldiers. Edhem Pasha once
explained this omission as follows: ga
dead man is Of no use to the sultan.
Why, therefore, trouble with him?"-

Absolute Zero.

In the absence Of all heat the tenn
perature is zero, not the zero of the
thermometers, but what is called "ab-
solute zero" In other words, where
there is no heat there is no tempera-
ture. Absolute zero is supposed to be
about 274 degrees below the thermo-
metric zero of the Centigrade scale
and about 461 degrees below the Their
mometric zero Of the Fahrenheit scale
Absolute zero might, imaginatively, be
defined as molecular death, because a
substance which has lost all tempera-
ture has necessarily lost all molecular,
or internal, energy and has become
entirely inert.-New York Journal.
