SOME FACTS ABOUT IVORY.
Waste Product of One Manufacturer
May BE of Value to Another.

May BE of Value to Another.
One of the interesting, sights Of
London is the ivory market where.
during the periodical sales, the floors
of the great warehouses are fairly
covered with tusks of all sizes and
qualities.
There Is absolutely no waste in
the manufacture of articles from
ivory, for the small shavings from
billiard balls are used In making In
laid work Therefore at an ivory sale
not only whole tusks are disposed of.
but various assortments OF different
sized pieces. The waste product of
one manufacture may be of the
greatest value to another. The most
valuable ivory is used for making
billiard balls, and to be perfect
tusk must be absolutely sound and
solid, without suspicion of flaw
or crack, and must measure only
trifle more than the regulation bill
lard ball, otherwise it will cut to
waste. AS a preparation for the sale
floor the inside of the tusks is thor
oughly cleaned by means of wads at
tached to long sticks. Thus the eX-
act length of the hollow is shown
and flaws that are not seen on the
outside are often revealed. The In
creasing scarcity of ivory has
brought about an increasing rise in
the price. In thirty-five years the
price per hundredweight has risen
from $3.50 to $685.. In bulk ivory
averages about $4,000 per ton.

Cod Liver Oil for Plants.

A woman who owns two splendid
looking plants which keep green and
vigorously though their habitat is an
apartment, says that she attributes
their good health entirely to an occG
sional dose of cod liver oil. She has
found a large spoonful of this medi
cine, from time to time, better than
any of the fertilizers usually advised
and not more expensive.

THE OPEN ROAD
By NELLIE NJ. COOK.
Continued From Last Sunday

Martha found that the soil on her
homestead was very deficient in or
ganic matter and if anything was
grown this had to be supplied. After
reading, questioning the neighbors
and after experimenting, she found
that the best way to get this humus
was to plant velvet beans, as they
are rank growers and sweeten the
land and when they were wilted by
the first frost she spaded them under.
Every weed and all the crab grass
was uprooted before they could go to
seed and they were turned under.
She acted upon the fact that, if
each year she returned to the soil
as much or more than was taken from
it that even the white sand could be
built to fertile condition. Ali vines,
sweet potatoes, pea vines, carrot and
asparagus tops and everything of
the kind was spaded under while
green. In addition to this, barnyard
fertilizer was used in abundance and
the manufacturer of commercial fer
tilizers did not get any of Martha's
money and her land was built up, not
burned up.
Martha found that commercial fer.
tilizer fed the plants but to use il
intelligently she had to know just
what food the plants needed and ther
know just what per cent Of such
food the different fertilizers contain.
ed.
She subscribed for the best agricul.
tural papers and in them read Of
damage done to crops by fertilizers
not being up to standard. She par
ticularly noticed the statement made
that the product of the Sanford eel
cry fields had become of very infer
ior quality. at did not bleach readily
and dealers in the large cities claimed
that it would not hold up until il
could be sold. This condition, Of
course resulted in dissatisfaction
with Florida celery, and many of thu
dealers refused to handle it.
The growers in Sanford have 70,
years been using from three to fou
tons of commercial fertilizer to tn,
acre. Now they are building up tn
burntout land.
Martha found that wood ashes
barnyard fertilizer, green crops turn
| ed under and lime, to sweeten whel
necessary, made a first class fertil
| izer.
One of Martha's neighbors told he
that commercial fertilizer was pre-
ferable because it had no seeds o
weeds and so it saved cultivation.

spects and would send literature COW
ering all points.
She found that it cost but the price
of paper and stamp and the trouble
of writing. These pamphlets will
give rules and formulas for remedies
and full directions for making and
applying them.
Martha discovered that she did not
have to keep in the beaten track and
raise the same kind of fruit that has
been grown year after year, for, here,
too the government is glad to supply
the growers with new varieties of
fruit with absolutely no cost to the
grower, the bureau of plant distribu-
ton being established for that pur-
pose.
For instance, that invaluable fruit,
the lemon, has, as you know, but a
limited habitat and is far too tender
to be grown in the open in all sec
tons of Florida. The government has
been trying for years to find a sub
stitute that is hardly all over the
southern states and after crossing
oranges and lemons and budding into
the trifoliate orange of Japan they
have at last evolved the citrange,
This fruit has the color of the orange
the acidity of the lemon with the bit
ter of the grape fruit and, if carefully
prepared, drink can be made with
scarcely trace of the grape fruit
taste. There are several varieties OF
the citrange from the tangelo, the
size of small tangerine to the Nor
ton citrange which is as large as a
grape fruit with much the same quail.

WOMAN's EXCHANGE TO
BE OPENED AT
SAN CARLOS.

A Woman's Exchange has long been
needed in Pensacola and the women
who are interested in faLcy-work, and
various other activities, are delighted
at the recent announcement that such
an exchange is to be opened Novem-
Der first at the San Carlos hotel.
With Miss Sarah Kahn and Miss
Julia Knowles as patronesses the ex-
change promises much of success, and
there is every reason to believe that
the women of Pensacola will find
here medium of exchange which
will prove not only beneficial to the
promoters, but to all who are inter-
ested in woman's work.

ITO my mind one Of the great
features OF the college farm has been
its attempt to show how much It is
possible to get Off the land in Della
ware. II demonstrates in a measure
the value of the receipt that man
advertised for making farmers rich.
The receipt was to cut of all your
expenses and let your income go
right on. The farm sales last year
were approximately $4,000 and this
gives an idea OF how much It is pos
sible to take from a farm when op-
Grated on a semi-intensive plan.

OF the board of trustees and of the

we keenly appreciate the generosity

We have had many men visit us who
are familiar with farms operated by
the agricultural colleges OF other

us that there are few States IN the
union that have such good farms or
farms so well adapted to expert
