Phosphates
Delayed Applications
OF Fertilizers

Lack of labor on the farm, unfavor-
able weather at planting time, conges-
Bon on railways and consequent delays
to shipments, may prevent the full and
proper amount of fertilizer being APP
Piled to the crop at time of planting.
LATE APPLICATIONS PAY
q A late application of fertilizer as a
side-dressing to rowed crops, or as a
top-dressing for other crops, is often
quite as effective as when applied at
planting or seeding time.
Certainly it is much better and wiser
TO make the delayed fertilizer applca-
ton in this way than to attempt to
grow a crop with no fertilizer at all, or
with less than the usual quantity. Re
member that fertilizer conserves farm
labor by making it more productive.
The big problem is to apply the fertile
or with the least possible amount of
klbor, but at such time, and in such
Q way, as to make it most effective.

The appearance of the home has
much to do: with its utility as we'll as
it's beauty. "A home where there are

comfortable than where these things

Fall is good time to improve the
yard; lawn and general appearance Of
the home Late fall is a favorable
time to transplant many biennials and

transplanted; violets, bulbs Of various

for early spring blossoms.
A little time; given to the yard and

FASHION CALL FOR PAJAMAS

The French fashion for wearing or

in the house instead Of room robes
has been taken up in America. The
fashion was exploited by the Stage
and got over the footlights to the
public.
American. women, however, are
adopting the Chinese costume, which
they call by the name Of pajamas
The loose trousers are laced In to 1T
the ankles, and the feet are slipped
into gay Chinese slippers. There is q
short tunic,' in the Chinese manner
worn over the full trousers and often
there is q sash in brilliantly

Demand for Better Homes.

The idea of good homes for wage
earners as Il matter Of public policy
was widely advertised during the war
and gained strong support. The ablest
architects, engineers and landscapes
assisted the government in housing
plans. This has brought about an in
creasing national consciousness that
every family should be provided with
q habitation meeting at least the mini
mum requirements of sanitation and
deeenty. Many soldiers who were
reared in city slums have returned
with more personal dignity and no
longer will stand for their former
homes. They are persuading their
families to remove to better neighbor-
hoods.

= Mans greatest business in life is the

The man who can save and achieve

His credit Is better, he is more highly

it is hard to save $4,000 to pay of

Flowers as Barometers.

Many flowers are said to be excel
lent barometers. For instance, 1t 1s
when the blooms. Of dandelions have
seeded and are in the fluffy, feathery
condition, that the weather-prophet
faculties come to the fore. In fine
weather the ball expands to the full,
but when the rain approaches it shuts
up like an umbrella. If the weather Is
inclined to be showery, it keeps shut
all the time, only opening when the
danger from the wet is passed.
