WHEN the agricultural chemist wants to
know what's in the soil, he sometimes can
use q corn field as his laboratory, and can
carry his reagents in his vest pocket. And fur
ther, he doesn't have to be a chemist, if he
will carry out few simple tests which George
N. Hoffer of the Department of Agriculture
has worked out
The principal ingredients of the soil, SO far
as the farmer is concerned, are nitrogen, potas-
SUM and phosphorus salts, and shortages of
any OF the three are easily discovered.
Corn plants. growing under soil conditions
of nitrogen starvation, display yellowish green
or yellow stalk and leaf color. BY splitting
the stalks. and applying to the tissue q few
drops of a solution of diphenylamine in con-
centrated suiphuric acid, the presence of any
reserve nitrogen is shown by the production OF
a blue color If there are no reserves of nitro
gen III the stalk, the color will remain un-
changed.
Deficiency of potassium is indicated in sew
eral ways. Marginal leaf firing and prema-
ture death of the plants, and production of
chaffy, starchy ears are indications that the

that this architectural feature is still in ex-
stence. This chamber may have been the
library. There was another mantel in the room
beyond but it was not so interesting in detail.
AMOUNTING the staircase in the hall,
emerged into a smaller hall into which
opened four half-story rooms. In each of these
rooms and along the caves, found 'cubby-
hole which Mrs Easby-Smith described but I
saw no deep spot on the floor In the south
west room was ladder, leading to the attic and
the cupola.
Later, I discovered the cellar door under
the staircase on the first floor, but this door
was tightly nailed. However, upon inquiry. I
learned from one of the tenants that the tavern
had only one cellar, which was closed on &C
count Of the dampness.

Soil Study BY Farmers

soil is lacking in essential potassium. Chem
ically, this shortage may be shown through
the tendency of the corn grown in such soil
stalk. This can be demonstrated by the treat
ing of the tissue around the joints with Q
few drops of a 10 per cent solution of potas-
SUM thoccyanate, after which few drops OF
dilute hydrochloric acid are added If potas-
stun is deficient, discoloration viii follow.
These simple tests make the diagnosis OF
the undernourishment easy, and as the chem
icals involved are inexpensive, their use Is
a decided advantage to the farmer.

rules of the exhibition were pushed aside to
allow its admittance SO struck were those in

But he is not French, and he has never been

and its Latin Quarter. Sam Pratt is an Ameri-
can. as you and I, and perhaps that explains
his perseverance through all kinds of hardships
to carry on the work he loves. He is Virginia
boy, and comes from Loudoun County, the
birthplace of some of our most outstanding
American artists - of Lucien Powell, whose
painting of the Grand Canyon hangs at the
head of the marble stairway in the Carnegie
Library, and of Hugh Breckenridge, who, during
the Summer heads the Pennsylvania Academy

around the yard I also noticed a number

Little Difficulty in
Remodeling Old Home

AS the average family grows more
prosperous, it begins to think in terms
of greater home prestige and comfort.
The subject of new furniture for the
living room comes up, the thought Of
moving to other quarters is given con-
sideration, and there is general un.
easy feeling that the family is not get
ting all out of its home life that it
should.
Many families who own their own
home would not hesitate for sn in
slant to leave the neighborhood for
more pretentious quarters were it not
for the fact that old friends and ae-
quaintances would be out Of easy
reach.
The desire for bigger home and

izing Exterior walls can either be
oyercoated with shingles or stucco.
The interior may be liyened and made
pleasant through the use of paint and

worn-out heating system with color
full, jacketed and insulated boiler and
decorative thin tube radiators.

Frightening the Garden

It is surprising how much a few
cans Of paint can do in the way OF
frightening up the garden when ap'
piled to fences, lattice and arbors
This should be done before growth
starts and the actual rush of painting
begins. Also, garden furniture that
has been stored inside or left Out
should be painted to look its best.
Bird houses should be put out sc
that they may weather bit before
the birds take possession. If they
are homemade, do not paint the in
ner edges of the doorway or the in
side Of the house. These little houses
will bring the friend of the garden
nearer home and will help greatly IL
fighting against insects.
