Housewife $ Apron and Cap.

Housework is made worthwhile by
this neat apron of striped percale.
1t is accompanied by cap of the
same material. Plain gingham is used
to trim the design. The rundown
collar finishes neck cut in round out
line, while the short sleeves are cut
in one with the body. A straight belt
holds in the fulness Of the waist line.
In medium size the design requires
SIX yards Of 36-inch material, with
Y yard Of gingham in plain color. Be-
fore cutting the apron, take two
widths Of the gingham and place
them on the sewing table, right sides
facing, in open width. Place the apron
into position first, as shown in the cut
ting guide, then above 1t lay the
brim Of the hat, toward the left, and
the belt, each on . lengthwise thread
of the material. The pocket piecing
for the back is to the right Of 1t.
The remaining gingham is now fold
ed in half and the back Of the apron
placed on the lengthwise fold, thus
avoiding seam: The material
should be folded in quarters to cut
the crown Of the hat and the collar,
following the arrangement on the cut
ting guide. -.
If made without cap and collar and
cuffs, the apron requires only 4H
yard Of 36-inch gingham.

Primitive Australian Savage
 Most Marvellous of Hunters

Tn endurance and speed the Aus tralian aborigine is not the equal of the American Indian, and his weapons of wood and poorly fashioned stones are effective only at short range; but as a hunter the native Australian is marvelously adjusted to his environ ment, the National Geographic Maga- zine says. His success lies in an inti- mate knowledge of the habits of anil mals on land, in the ground, in trees and under water, and his wonderfully developed power of observation.
 He decoys pelicanS by initiating their cries, catches ducks by diving be- low them, locates an opossum in tree by marks on the bark or by the flight of mosquitoes, finds snakes by ob- serving the actions of birds and fol- lows a bee to it's store of honey. Any animal which leaves a track however dim, in the sand, on rock or in grass, falls an easy prey to the black fellow Children are taught to track lizards and snakes over bare rocks and to find their absent mother by following tracks too indistinct to serve as a guide for European. When white man is lost in the desert or a child strays from home, the final resort is to secure "black tracker."

Upon City's Mountain Tops.

Upon the top one of New York's manmade mountains there is the same peaceful quiet as on the mountain top, says the National Geographic Nigga zine. No sound from the street below comes up this distance. Men on the sidewalks are infinitesimal dots, dart ing hither and yon. Looking down upon them one Is inclined to reflect what puny beings humans are, and from this lofty point of view almost forgets his sympathy for their per sonal interests. Then comes the realization that this mountain was built by these puny beings from ma terials dug out of thes earth in Il crude state, purified, shaped and fas- tened together in manner that will make it stand practically for all time, and then feeling of reverence for the human brain-that God given boon which has made these things pos sible.

WHAT'S WHAT IN
 GOOD FERTILIZER
Iizers Which Is Worth Keeping For Reference.
By De F. Hungerford, College of Asri
 culture, Fayetteville.

Fertilizers are materials that SUD- ply one or more of the three most important plant food elements-nttro- gen, osphorous and potassium
 Nitrogen Fertilizers.
 The common nitrogen fertilizers are nitrate of soda, sulphate of am- monia, cotton seed meal, dried blood, tankage and cyanamid.
 Nitrate of Soda contains from 1b to 16 per cent of nitrogen. It is soluble in water and therefore immediately available to the plants. The amounts applied vary from 100 to 400 pounds per acre. Because of It's solubility 1t should be applied either at seeding time or as a top dressing after the crop has come up. If used as top dressing it should be put on while the plants are dry for otherwise the leaves may be burned. Recent tests have shown that nitrate of soda is very beneficial to apple trees when applied at the rate of five or six pounds per tree when the flower buds begin to show a pin color.
 Sulphate of Ammonia is a by-prod- uct in the manufacture of coke and coal gas. It contains about 20 per cent of nitrogen, which Is nearly as readily available as that in nitrate of soda. It is used at about the game rate per acre and in much the same manner as nitrate of soda. Sulphate of ammonia should not be used on acid or sour land unless lime is ap- piled with it to overcome the acidity.
 Cotton Seed Meal has been used very extensively in the South as a fertilizer, but it Is coming into such general use as a stock food that only the inferior grades can now be used profitably. The nitrogen content ranges from 6 to per cent, and it contains in addition 2.5 per cent of phosphoric acid and IT per cent of potash. The nitrogen is not soluble and must decay in the soil before 1t can be utilized by plants. For this reason application should be made one or two weeks before the crop is planted.
 Dried Blood and Tankaee are not soluble in the soil water and, like cot ton seed meal, must be applied a week or more before planting time. Neither is used as extensively now as formerly. Dried blood contains from 10 to 13 per cent of nitrogen.

Careless Pedestrians.

Leaving home for his place of busi- ness, man of calculating mind will discover that valuable time is lost in want of consideration by others for the commonest rights of thoroughfare. A friend of mathematical bent has calcu- lated that a hundred years of actual working time are lost every day on the streets of New York by thought less people who take the left of the sidewalk instead of the right, who are negligent in crossing the streets and hold up traffic or become inmates of hospitals by inviting accidents.

Phosphorous Fertilizers.

per cent and phosphoric acid from 2 to 20 per cent.
 Phosphorous Fertilizers.
 The important phosphorous fertilz- CTS are acid phosphate, raw and steamed bone meal, basic slag, bone tankage and raw rock phosphate.
 Acid Phosphate is ground phosphate rock treated with sulphuric acid. There are three grades containing re, 1 spectively 12, IA and 16 per cent phos- phoric acid. Although the phosphorus in acid phosphate is readily available and can be taken up by the plant as soon as it is applied, it is not leached out, because the soil absorbs and holds phosphorus until the plants need It. The rate of application is from 200 to 400 pounds per acre. Acid phosphate gives the best results on heavy clay land and on soil that is not acid.
 dition contains about 4 per cent of nitrogen and about 22 per cent of phosphoric acid, but the ma terial ordinarily sold as a fertilizer has been steamed to remove the fat and glue which takes out most of the nitrogen. The result is ma- terial with from 24 to 27 per cent of phosphoric acid and 1 1-2 to 2 per cent of nitrogen. Bone phos- plates are not so available as acid phosphate and give best results on meadows and pastures
 Basic sIae Phosphate is a by-prod- uct from the manufacture of steel. It contains from 15 to 19 per cent of phosphoric acid and from 35 to 50 per cent of lime. The phosphorus is more available than in bones, but less available than in acid phosphate. The lime content makes it a good ferti- lizer to use on acid soils.
 Raw Rock Phosphate is the un- treated, finely ground phosphate rock It contains from 28 to 32 per cent of phesphoric acid. To be at all effective the raw rock phosphate must be ground to very fine powder At least 95 per cent should pass through a screen with 10000 openings to the square inch. It should be applied at the rate of 1000 pounds per acre once in four or five years. It should be thoroughly mixed with the soil by narrowing several times.
 Rock Phosphate is only slowly available. It should not be used when immediate returns are needed such as on truck crops or on a rented farm. Ii is most effective on upland soils that are slightly acid and well supplied with organic matter. On light sandy soils it is doubtful If raw rock phosphate will give profitable returns.
 Potash Fertilizers.
 Potash fertilizers usually secured from Germany, cannot now be obtain ed, while the small quantity produced in this country is so high priced that its use is prohjbitive.
