The ads tell when, where, how
and how much. Down in black and
white. The same to your neighbor
and thousands of others.
Just because winter gives you cold
feet, there's no use to let your head
freeze. Save your ideas from getting
numb by keeping them on the jump.
Now is the time for the farmer to
develop all sorts of clever schemes for
next season.
Unless your county takes an inter-
est in the good roads movement il will
soon be time to put up your automobile
until next springs sunshine has dried
out those bog holes.

Pyrites Carried at Low Rates.

Pyrites Carried at Low Rates.
These Spanish pyrites are usually
shipped from the port of Huelva on
the southwest coast of Spain, this side
of the Gibraltar Gateway. Mediter
ranean freighters returning from Eu-
rope take on these pyrites at very low
freight rates, even almost as ballast.
From Huelva the pyrites are carried
to Charleston, to Savannah, to Nor
folk, to Baltimore, and points north.
At these places tie pyrites are burned,
the sulphur separated and turned into
sulphuric acid. Later on, ton for ton
this acid is mixed with rock phosphate,
and in this way the acid phosphate of
commerce is produced. In other fac
tories this acid phosphate is mixed
with the blood, bone and tankage of
great slaughter houses, and with other
materials carrying nitrogen, for the
production Of the complete fertilizers
on which depends the production of a
sufficient supply of food crops.
Some of these Mediterranean
freighters have been Communicated
by the government, others have been
sent down by the dreaded submarine.
and still others are tied up in neutral
ports all over the world.
Conditions Are Serious.
Few farmers realize the serious ma
ture Of the case. Perhaps the aver
age boat in this trade will carry four
thousand tons of pyrites. Every ton
of pyrites will make in the ueighbor-
hood of four tons Of acid phosphate,
or up to eight tons of complete fer
tilizer. Every four thousand ton boat
taken from the pyrites carrying trade
means a loss Of the acid for the fer

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by Anne Rittenhouse.
If You Care for Books.

Not every booklover really cares for
his books-that is, in the sense of
taking pains to see that they are pre-
served as much as possible against the
rayages of time and bad usage.
There was a time when those who
really wanted to take the greatest care
of books thought it necessary to keep
them in glass-covered bookcases. But
this is not really necessary. In the
first place, books do not look so at
tractive when covered with glass and
in the subdued color scheme of many
"a living Toom or library the glass COW
ers for books would be extremely OUT
of taste. Simple built-in bookshelves
are usually preferred by decorators 10
the most costly of book cases. The
gone with the elaborate, highly ornate
picture frames of other days. Nova
days the books themselves, like our
pictures, are decorative enough in
themselves, and bookcases. like picture
frames, are best when least con-
spicuous.
But, as a matter of fact. the books
suffer not a whit in being taken out
of their glass cases, for, as an author
ity assures me, books last better when
not kept in glass-covered cases not
withstanding the fact that they are eX-
posed to the dust. For the circulation
of the air in and around the books
tends to keep them young, and IN the
long run the drying-out process is less
apt to progress when the books are IL
open shelves than when they are kept
alright by means of glass.
The only thing to fear from dust is
that it should be allowed to stand
long on the books. To avoid this
means frequent busting. If your
books are used so frequently that
they do not need to be busted, so much
the better, but if they are not taken
out of their shelves often to be read,
then you should make a point of hav-
ing the whole of your bookcases gone
over at least once a month; that is,
if you want to preserve your books
most carefully. The old-fashioned
method of opening and shutting the
covers rather briskly SO as to snap the
dust from the books is about as good
means as any; only, of course, the
treatment should be fairly gentle.
While almost everything else should
be cleaned with a damp cloth. one
would hardly risk a damp cloth on
bookbindings, altho authorities tell
us that leather-covered books should
be gone over occasionally with a cloth
slightly moistened in oil-such as olive
oil-which keeps the leather from be-
coming dried out.
