POULTRY MANURE FOR FRUIT
Most Valuable Animal Fertilizer Pro
duced and Much, Of II 10
Thrown Away or Wasted.

Poultry manure is, by. far, the most
valuable animal fertilizer commonly
produced and has been comparatively
little understood. In fact, much OF
II has been thrown away or carelessiy
wasted. 1t contains more than twice
as much ammonia and phosphate as
sheep manure, and more than four
times as much as horse manure. II
can be kept In good condition more
easily than any other manure with
very little labor or attention.

A WONDERFUL OIL BURNER

On her late visit to the West, Mrs. S.
A. Burris found a rare housekeeper's
jewel A small oil burner set inside
the kitchen stove that cooks, bakes,
&C., quickly, and that to perfection; no
coal to fetch or lift, no ashes, or dirt,
no trouble whatever; you simply turn
the oil on or off and use one match.
She has used the oil burner over
month and it works without hitch,
and for about one-half the cost of her
old coal fire.
Here's how it came about. Her
hostess, Miss Mary F. Burrls, had used
one with entire success) for two years,
and upon her suggestion Mrs. Burris
got hers. Miss Burris former Tran
script editor, is well-known here, not
only as the possessor of fine dramatic
and literary talents, but also as par ex-
cellence a model housekeeper and a
cook whose toothsome confections
would be the despair of Partisan chef.
To say Mrs. Burris is delighted, is
putting it mildly "Wouldn't be with
out it for the wo1ld!" She cordially
invites every housekeeper who reads
this, to call and see for herself how ad-
mirably the burner works. Cutting q
coal bill in two is no trif1e these days;
and then to miss all the labor and dust,
&c., of coal
