Poultry Manure Rich in
Nitrogen IF Protected

Poultry manure is particularly rich
in nitrogen, but If not protected it rap
idly loses this valuable plantfood ele-
ment, and this means loss to the in
direct income from farm poultry which
might well be conserved for the farm
For the garden, farmer may bal.
ance the product by taking 80 pounds
poultry manure and adding to it ten
pounds dry loan or absorbent, such as
peat moss or slsavings, 16 pounds
phosphoric acid and eight pounds
kainite. The analysis Of this mixture
is IN per cent nitrogen, AZ per cent
phosphoric acid and per cent potash
For such vegetable crops as lettuce
which require a higher content Of nj
trogen for forcing rapid growth, a
greater proportion Of poultry manure
may be used in the fertilizer, or this
mixture may be used and supplement-
ed with a top dressing Of nitrate OF
soda to the trucking crop. The dry
loan or the peat moss prevents the
fertilizer from becoming sticky, which
would be the case If the phosphOriC
acid and kainite were mixed alone
with the droppings to prevent the es-
cape of nitrogen.

Chic Accessories
For New Outfits
Beads, Earrings, Bandeaus
and Wells Among Spring
Decorations.

Now that the spring suit or wrap
with its accompanying frock has be-
come an actuality, one is free to turn
the attention to the delightful acces-
sories which do so much to add chic
to the general appearance.
Jewelry is particularly attractive
this spring. pearls being in great de-
mand, from the long 54-inch, strand to
the one which fits closely about the
throat and which is fashioned of quite
large beads. The long strands usually
are made Of pearls Of the same size.
while the shorter lengths are gradu-
ated. These long strings often are
worn knOtted or doubled about the
neck. The vogue for the short pearl
string is due to great extent to the
influence of the Second Empire modes.
Pictures of the fashionable beauties
IF that day-Eugenie was one of
he most famous--show them wear
.ng just such short strings of lustrous
pearls. Tassel pearl earrings are
smart. They fall from pearl settings,
Or from those Of murcasite. onyx or
Jade.
Crystal and onyx, because of the
still dominant vogue for black and
white, are other items of interest in
the jewelry realm. Marcasite is used
IN nearly all OF the settings, while
beads. bracelets and earrings of vari-
Gus colored compositions are featured,
n carnelian brown and different tints
Of green in imitation of jade being
shown.
The Egyptian influence is expressed
by the use of long chains of scarab
carved beads, or those in which the
lotus or mummylike figures are the
motifs, the tiny mummies of gold in
Egyptian c0lorings being also used
for earrings, pencils and perfume
holders.
Printed silk bandeaus or kerchiefs
are still a feature of the neckwear
departments and promise to be good
all summer. The dye and batik now
are used as well as Paisley. Chinese
and Greek motifs. These bandanas

Crispness and Tenderness
Come With Rapid Growth

To have good vegetables most Of
them must grow rapidly. If they grow
slowly the leaf crops will be tough
and will get strong quickly. Crispness
and tenderness come with rapid
growth. Peas and beans are better
favored. Radishes are less pithy.
Corn is deeper and better set, and
think the flavor is better, too.
Rich soil is prime factor in forcing
rapid growth, but 1t is not all. Gull
tivation to preserve the soil moisture
is help. Irrigation is not much prac-
ticed but where it is possible IL will
often save crop from a severe
check in dry spell, and these checks
make for toughneSs.
1t has been shown by tests that lit
tie artificial feeding will not only make
vegetables better in quality but In
many cases will keep such plants as
tomatoes setting when ordinarily they
stop in hot weather. Then shade or
partial shade will often make the leaf
crops more tender and sweet.
