FERTILIZER FOR DELAWARE

UNIVERSITY REPORTS OF FERTILIZER VALUES

The following are the facts as to
valuation and analysis of fertilizers
sold to farmers for growing tomatoes
and other crops. The report was made

as to what proportions OF ingredients
should be used for a fertilizer, Whlcn

lowest priced fertilizer, may be OF no
value for the crop the farmer INTENDS
to use it for, so it would therefore be
a costly waste, which would be GER

fertilizer with the proper 1ngreolents
and in right proportions, which Woulo
cost more money, that fertilizer would
he cheaper, because it brings the re-

Then the method of using fertilizers

HOW TO SAVE
MONEY WHEN
SHOPPING
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
W. I511, I1dIAdIIU II --111'F-'7
SELECTING THE KITCHEN
TABLE
20, 1922. Harland H. Ailen.)

The first requirement of a kitchen
table is that it be soeid. The next,
that it be the proper height. Not
just so-many-inches from the floor, but
conveniently high for the person who
uses it most. It should have one
or two drawers for cutlery, and may
have an under-swung shelf.
The next problem is the matter of
top. For serving purposes the pri-
mary consideration is that the table
top be impervious to heat. Hot dishes
must be set on it, so glass top
would be likely to break, painted or
vanished one to blister.
The preparing table must be one
that will clean easily, one that will
resist moisture. and not stain with
grease.
II, as in most kitchens, one table Is
to serve both purposes, the selection
of top should be a matter for ex-
IRENE care.
The wooden top: Its principal adj
vantages are cheapness, and the fact
that fewer dishes are broken upon it.
It's disadvantages are that it must be
constantly scrubbed, that it absorbs
water, gets stained and full of grease
spots. Modern sanitation is slowly
but surely driving out the wooden
topped kitchen table.
Oilcloth: This is a cheap cover,
wears fairly well, and cleans easily.
But it won't stand heat at all, and
gets cut up by the use Of knives.
Zinc covers are favored by some
women. They are good wearing, but
tarnish with acids and allalis, SO do
not make the best place to lay out
food.
The galvanized iron table is in many
respects the best all-around kitchen
table. 1t never wears out, is not af-
fected by heat, does not stain or alb
sorb grease. But in spite of that it
is not the easiest table to clean.
The Handicapped kitchen table has
been steadily growing in popularity
for a number of years. Its chief
drawbacks in the past have been IL
ability to chip, and to blister with
heat. Enamel, however, has been
much perfected lately by enterprising
manufacturers. If you can get one
that is dependably guaranteed against
chipping, even when you screw on the
food grinder, and one that will stand
the heat, it will, no doubt give you
more satisfaction than any other type
Of kitchen table

WHY PATENT LEATHER
CRACKS

sWill this patent leather crack?"
is perhaps the one question heard
oftener than any other from women
shoppers in the shoe stores.
The handsome, glossy, black, smooth
surface characteristic of patent leath-
er, is made by treating dry, softened
skins with successive coats of var
nish, and baking after each appIica-
ton Of varnish. Large, thin, firm
hides are generally selected in the
first place. Each Of the coatings made
Of gums and vegetable oils are
worked into the fiber, and thoroughly
dried, before the next is given. The
last coat is applied with brush, and
the leather baked for three days in
an oven at a low temperature, and
then finally exposed to the sunlight,
which oxidizes the varnish, and gives
the finish.
When the customer begins to " ear
the shoe, and the leather expands, as
it frequently does when affected by
the warmth and moisture Of the foot,
the coating of varnish, which is in
elastic, and cannot expand with the
leather, may crack No manufactur-
er can tell whether the leather is go
ing to crack or not, and for that rea-
son 1t is seldom guaranteed. 1t does,
however, frequently give good service.
The finish is very popular one, be
ing especially suitable for semi-dress
wear, but appropriate for almost any
other occasion as well. This hand
some leather brings out the lines of
the shoe to the best advantage, and no
polishing Is necessary. The varnish
is also an effective waterproofing.
Patent leather may be made from
kid, colt, calf, and cowhide. Coltskin,
because of its firm, solid texture. is
said to make the most satisfactory
Of all patent feathers. 1t is a prob
lem for the shopper to know how to
distinguish the better and poorer
grades. However, recently invented
varnish coatings are more plant, and
therefore less liable to crack. Pat
ent leather was made in the United
States as early as 1918, but only re-
Gently has the process attained its
present excellence, until now it rivals
the French and German finishes

Laughter Always Beneficial.

A writer in Health Culture says: "A
hearty laugh stimulates the nervous
system and stimulation Of the nerves
has various other effects besides that
of exciting sensations. AS a result, it
may act upon the viscera, promote or
hinder digestion and influence secre-
TONS It may stimulate or check the
action of the heart and accelerate or
retard the movements Of respiration.
Habitual laughter is certainly benefi-
cial. "A merry heart doeth good like
medicine, wrote the wise man of old;
also, He that is of merry heart has
a continual feast"

THAT peppery sea fighter Admiral
4 Sims seems to have stirred up
more trouble by his rather unre-
strained utterances. In a dispatch
carried by news agency he was
quoted as saying:
''In my opinion, the attitude Of the
Navy department toward the naval
war college has long been crime.
The appointment of an officer who is
not graduate of the war college CAD
rAiral Coontz) to command the great
United States fleet is a crime against
the people, and so is the appointment
of nongraduate to the most impor-
tant position in the Navy department
that of chief Of naval operation Cad
miral Eberle).
more than half Of the officers given
preference in the transfers recently
were not graduates of the war col
lege. The service is disguised with the
disguised that the same old
game of service politics is being
played. 1t believes that the best place
is a seat next to the dealer in Wash
ington. Personal influences bring
greater rewards than war college
training"
Secretary Denby's comment was: Il
find 1t hard to believe that Admiral
Sims made the statements attributed
to him. I cannot believe that any Of
ficer would show such disloyalty to
the service"

Letters like these testify to the alue

they can their conditions: First, those

of those symptoms. They are sincere ex-
pressions of gratitude. For nearly fifty
years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

In the United Kingdom the general

activity in coal mining, in steel-sheet

the other principal industries are still

r Asst weeks most startling news
IL came from China. A band of
Chinese bandits wrecked an express
train en- route from Shanghai to Pek-
ing and kidnapped a large number of
passengers, including IA Americans
and several Englishmen. Most Of the
women in the party were released
after being roughly treated, and some
men escaped, but the rest were car
ried off and $1,OOO,O00 ransom was
demanded by the outlaws. The Amer
lean and British state departments got
busy quickly and demanded that the
Chinese government bring about the
release of the prisoners. Chinese
troops went in pursuit but the bandits
foiled them by placing their captiyes
In the front rank during the attack.
The Picking government then ordered
the Shantung province officials to pay
the ransom demanded and promised
to pardon the bandits on release of
their victims. At this writing it Is
expected the kidnapped foreigners will
be freed within few days.
In addition to money and pardon,
the bandits. who were led by Colonel
Chow, an old offender, demanded in
corporation into the Chinese army. If
this is conceded it adds to the compli-
cations for at the Washington confer
ence China promised to reduce its
armed forces, Notwithstanding which
a large number of bandits were taken
into the army last December. The
helplessness of the government is ex-
posed by this successful exploit Of the
outlaws, and there is apprehension of
bandit attacks In other sections. The
foreign powers realize that last weeks
attack was mainly for the purpose of
embroiling the government, and that
the leaders Of the various opposing
factions are hoping America and Brit
ain will withdraw recognition of it
and lift the embargo on arms Off,
