INCREASED VALUE or MANURE
Field Tests Conducted at University
Of Missouri In Different Sole
and Seasons.

Just what the farmer can pay for
a ton Of manure or for hauling and
taking care Of II varies with differ
ent conditions. For ten years the Uni
versity Of Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture has been investigating this ques-
ton. Field tests have been made in
18 different parts Of the state. Differ
emit soils, seasons, and kinds Of ma
nure have been included under ordi-
nary methods Of farming.
In practically all cases eight tons OF
manure to the acre was applied once
in four years and plowed under before
the corn crop. No manure was APP
piled on the following crops Of oats,
wheat and clover, but the yields were
all recorded. The increase In crop
Yields caused by the use Of eight tons
Of manure per acre we're as fOllOwsi
1Ok bushels Of corn, 5h bushels OF
wheat. 4 bushels of oats, and about
1000 pounds Of hay. This is an
average from go tests on corn and
somewhat less number on the
other crops. Figuring these increases
at normal prices they are worth about
s10. or about 50 ton for the eight
tons Of manure applied. With present
urices, which are almost double those
Of normal times, manure Ia worth cor
respondingly more, or about "a a ton.

A recent biographer says Of Mozart
that the most wonderful fact about
him was that he directed his art to-
ward success without any sacrifice Of
himself, and his music was always
written with regard to Its effect upon
the public. Somehow 1t does not lose
by this, and it says exactly what he
wishes 1t to say. In this he was
helped by his delicate perceptions, his
shrewdness and his sense Of irony. He
despised his audience, but he held him
self in great esteem. He made no con-
cession that he need blush for; he de-
ceived the public, but he guided it as
well. He gave the people the Illusion
that they understood his idea, while,
as a matter of fact, the applause that
greeted his work was excited only by
passages which were solely composed
for applause.

Women Must Make
Study Of Clothes

swer is in the negative, don't let any
one persuade you to buy It.
When the ships that dodge the man
made sharks Of the sea bring to US
these cases of silks, brocades, metals,
embroideries and velvets fashioned
for the American woman, we will see
that these clothes are the heirs to all
the ages. China will dominate some
bits of costumery, the influence Of
Napoleon win be there, the Russian
Cossacks who threw themselves before
the retreating Eleventh army in Ga
licia will be another motive for GER
tain cut and color, and the recent ex-
hibltion of French clothes in Madrid
is reflected In the things that were
brought out Of Spain.
Not only will different countries be
represented in the medley Of cOstum-
cry that is coming to u.s. but various
epochs in the history of places, espe-
cially Of France-the First Empire,
the Consulate, the swirling and trans
parent draperies made famous by
Nine. Tallien, the Queen Of Shreds
and Patches, as she was nicknamed,
the biblike panels of embroidery worn
by the queen of Roumania when she
arrayed herself in the native cos
tunes.
The polonaise will be revived from
that day when the predecessor Of Rose
Berttin, who gOwned Marie Antoi-
nette, made fashionable the striking
garment worn by the Polish princess,
Marie, whom Louis XIV made queen Of
France. Those Chinese wraps and
sleeves and tassels worn by the noble
men who represented Pekin as the
first embassy sent from China to
France are recalled into the new fash
ions because China is with France and
is fighting, as she fought, to be re-
public.
