Rearing Trout in England

Some Of the quaintest passengers
ever carried by the railway companies
may be seen Just now at some north
country stations. Swimming about in
big iron tanks, there are baby trout
which angling associations in York
shire and Lincolnshire are importing
to restock their fishing waters.
Ranging from ten weeks to two
years old, they vary in length from
four to ten inches. They have all
been hand-reared in some Of the Cum
berland or Northumberland hatcheries,
and, despite the railway journey, they
arrive so tame that they will feed
from the hand. says London Tit-Bits.
After a month in their new home,
however, they will be wild enough to
provide all the sport the most enthu-
siastic angler can desire.

Unsuited for Discipline

An Irish attorney who was very
lame was moved during the time Of
trouble in Ireland to take part in mil
itary preparations. Learning that
among the various volunteer corIG
being raised was one of lawyers, he
decided to join it.
"My dear friend" he remarked to
John PhilpOt Curran, the Irish wit,
these are not times for a man to
be idle; l am determined to join the
lawyers corps and follow the camp"
"YOu follow the camp, my little
limb Of the law?" said Curran. 'Tutl
Tut! Ren0unce the idea; you never
can be a disciplinarian."
"And why not. Mr.. Curran?"
"For this reason" was the reply /;

Saving Window Shade

A simple method of doubling the
life of a window shade, half of which
has become soiled, is TO remove the
shade from the top of the roller and
hem the end thus removed. Then re-
move the stick from the hem at the
bottom, or soiled portion of the shade,
and slip it into the new hem. Next
cut off the old hem at the bottom of
the soiled portion of the shade and at
tach the raw edge to the roller. The
bottom, or soiled portion of the shade
now becomes the top and, when the
shade is drawn down half the length
Of the window, a clean new shade ap-

Most Common Metal

Iron is the metal most used by man.
yet the metal which is by far the com.
mnnest in the earth's crust is not iron,
but calcium. Forty per cent of lime
stone is calcium, says London Tit-Bits.
Calcium is very light metal. easily
hammered. easily drawn out into wire
and almost as pretty in color as gold.
Why then, you may ask, do we not
make more use Of It?
There are two reasons; the first
that 1t is very difficult to isolate from
its ores, but the second is worse.
When isolated, let the merest drop Of
moisture touch calcium and II fizzes
away into slaked lime. The present
price Of calcium Is about twenty times
that Of gold.

Of SOIL VALUES
GREAT AID TO OUR FARMERS
G. L. SHUSTER OF U. OF D. EX-
PERTINENT STATION MAKE TEST
Shows How Sassafras Silt Loans
Produce Excellent Crop Results
Brief Summary of His Findings

Realizing that short time expert
ments are of little value, as it is i'm
possible to formulate scientific data
pertaining to soils in so short a time,
the University of Delaware Expert
ment Station under the direction Of
George L. Schuster has just issued a
bulletin containing data on soils fer
tility where the practice has been car
ried for many years and thereby in
dicates the real value of the expert
ments. These soil fertility programs
have been in duration long enough to
be able to submit valuable findings to
the farmer.
The bulletin has to do solely with
findings pertaining to sassafras silt
loans. Sassafras silt loans consist
OF a brown to slightly yellowish
brown friable silt loan, underlain at
about 8 to u inches by a yellow to
reddish-yellOw silty clay loan. In
some places the upper soil contains
a large proportion of fine sand. The
sassafras series represents about fifty
per cent. of the soils of Delaware,
twenty per cent. of which is silt loan.
The remaining fifty per cent. is made
up of some fifteen different soil types.
The most productive soils of the state
adapted to general farm crops are to
be found in the sassafras series.
A brief summary of the findings
contained in the bulletin follows:
Where general farm crops are
grown, such as corn, oats, soy beans,
wheat or mixed hay (clOver and
timothy, in a rotation including a
legume to be harvested or ploughed
under potash is the first factor that
limits crop production.
Under the above conditions phos-
phoric acid is the second factor that
limits crop production and nitrate
last.
Acid phosphate ranks first as a
carrier of phosphoric acid, basic Stag
second and rock phosphate last in
crop production.
Applications of manure are equal
ly good, if not better than the use
of a complete fertilizer for crop pro-
duction.
The value of lime is limited by 9TH
er factors in the treatment. 1t is of
no avail on corn or soy beans except
where muriate. of potash is also ap-
piled.
Lime plays an important role in the
growth of the hay crop, (clover and
timothy). 1t produces the greatest
gain in connection with application of
muriate of potash and with applica-
tions of muriate of potash and nitrate
of soda combined.
Applications of muriate of potash
produce the most marked effect upon
the quality of wheat and corn.
The addition of acid phosphate to
muriate of potash further improves
the quality of wheat and corn; but
when used alone it is of no avail.
Lime improves the quality of corn
where muriate of potash is used.

Manufactured Intoxicating Wine

BALTIMORE. Md. Nov. -
Congressman John Philip Hill,
of Maryland, today was acquit-

violating the Volstead act when
he manufactured intoxicating
wine and cider at his home. The
counts in the indictment main
tanning that he conducted a com
mon nuisance were dismissed
at the instructions of Judge So

The trial result is test case
forced by Congressman Hill who
maintained that the Volstead

to manufacture cider and wine
but withheld from the city man

URGENT DEMAND SEEN
FOR SOUTH'S COTTON.

BOSTN, Nov. 13.--The COTTON
industry apparently has definitely
turned the corner and isl proceeding
slowly, though steadily, toward bet
ter days, Robert Amory of Boston,
president of the National Associa-
ton of Cotton Manufacturers, said
in his address before the annual
meeting of the association here Wed
nesday.
The present cotton crop is the
largest in four years and we are as.
sured Of sufficient raw material
for much greater percentage Of
our capacity than through the last
year." President Amor said ~
word of caution: we are not as
sured of sufficient raw material for
an adequate reserve supply There
fore, price fluctuation is still likely
although probably not to as great
an extent as during the year past.
The past year has been one Of
the most difficult through which
our cotton manufacturing industry
has ever passed." he said. "The
principal cause for this has been
three consecutive short cotton crops
leaving the world without an ade-
ouate reserve supply of raw mqteri-
al which might have assisted in
stabilizing the price.
coupled with the ease with
which speculation may be conduct
ed in cotton, this has brought about
tremendous and unwarranted price
fluctuations. A contributing cause
which now seems absurd has been
the fear and uncertainty Of the poll
teal situation"
"For the last few months cotton
manufacturing in the United States
has run as low as so to 70 per cent
of capacity, the speaker added, while
IN New England ii has run from 40
to so per cent.
Outside of New England produc-
ton has in no month run below so
pc rcent capacity and has ranged
from 80 to 80 per cont" he said
Dozens of great cotton manufac-
turing corporations have ceased to
pay dividend for the first time in
many years. The workers in our
New England mills have hao to
exist on less than half time and half
pay and in many mills have had al
most no work at ALL
Great Void in Stocks.
One hopeful factor fer the cotton
industry, President Amory said, was
the fact that the unprecedented cur
tailment of the past year undoubt-
eddy has created a great void IN
the country's stock of finished
goods.
