FARM NOTES.
Every farm should be a fertilizer factory,
and every farmer can convert the manure
on his farm into a soluble fertilizer with
the same agents as are employed by the
manufactures of fertilizers. For the in-
formation of those who are not familiar
with the methods of the manufacture of
fertilizers it may be stated that at the fertil-
izer factories anything that contains nitro-
gen, potash and phosphoric acid is used as
ingredients of fertilizers, such as sulphate
of ammonia, nitrate of soda, dried blood,
bones, phosphate rock, the salts of potash,
tankage, guano, castor pumace. cotton-hull
ashes, dried fish, kelp, meat scrap and, in
fact, even cotton seed meal, bran and other
refuse substances may be employed pro-
vided the prices of such are not too high.
Bones have long been known as a source of
phosphoric acid, but the finest bone meal
is not immediately available as plant food
for the reason that the smallest piece of
bones gives off its particles slowly, being
insoluble, and, therefore, may be more
serviceable for a succeeding crop than for
the one desired. The manufacturer,know-
ing these facts, and being aware that many
other substances will not be immediately
available unless rendered soluble, takes
advantage of the well-known law in chem-
istry that ‘‘an acid will form a salt with a
base,’’ and proceeds to ‘‘acidulate’ the
substances used (if necessary ), and presents
them to the farmer as a fertilizer, which he
guarantees according to law.
THE RAW MATERIALS,
Now, the ‘‘acidulation’’ of the many
substances used in fertilizers is not at all
difficult, and the farmer can perform that
service for himself just as easily as it can
be done for him by the manufacturer, and
the farmer need not go off his farm to find
the materials of which to make the fertil-
izer. The solid manure, liquidsand refuse
of all kinds can be ‘‘acidulated’”’ and
‘‘salts’’ created exactly in the same man-
ner as the manufacturer performs the work,
and it may be added that the manufacturer
would just as quickly use fresh animal
manure and urine if he could get those
materials as cheaply as the farmer, and he
would put them in bags and sell them by
the ton, guaranteeing them in quality, and
very truthfully, too, as they contain all the
- elements that enter in the composition of
commercial fertilizers. To give some idea
of the amount of manure produced on farms
if saved it may be mentioned thata horse
produces in one year 12,000 pounds of
solid manure; the cow 20,000 pounds; the
hog, 1800 pounds, and the sheep, 750
pounds. The horse also produces 3000
pounds of urine in one year; the cow, 3000
pounds; the hog, 1200 pounds, and the
sheep 350 pounds. Of course, these esti-
mates may vary according to the animals,
and the quality of the manure will largely
depend upon the character of the food, but
the above is the average. In the solid
manure of the horse there is a large pro-
portion of moisture, but the 12,000 pounds
will contain about 55 pounds of nitrogen
(equal to about 350 pounds of nitrate of
soda), 45 pounds of actual potash (equal
to about 90 pounds of muriate of potash),
and about 20 pounds of phosphoric acid
(equal to about 100 pounds of phosphate).
So much for the solid manure, but the
3000 pounds of urine procured from the
horse contains about 43 pounds of nitrogen
(equal to about 300 pounds of nitrate of
soda), and 45 pounds of actual potash
(equal to about 90 pounds of muriate of
potash). Here we have enough solid and
liquid manure from one horse to provide a
mixed fertilizer equal to 650 pounds of
nitrate soda, 180 pounds muriate of pot-
ash and 100 pounds of 20 per cent. phos-
phate. The 20,000 pounds of solids and
800C pounds of liquids from the cow give
the farmer a fertilizer every year equal to
650 pounds nitrate of soda, 130 pounds
muriate of potash and 110 pounds phos-
phate. Even the hog and sheep, though
small, give even more fertilizing materials
proportionately to size.
THE FARM FERTILIZER FACTORY.
Why are not such results found on the
farm? Simply because the farmer does not
‘‘acidulate’’ his materials. The manufac-
turer uses sulphuric acid, which is pur-
chased in carboys, at from one and a quar-
ter to one and a half cents per pound, a
carboy containing about 175 pounds. Ifa
pound of the acid and 10 pounds of water
are mixed, and the mixture then sprinkled
over fresh manure, or manure that is dry
but free from litter, the result will be a
fine powder. The manure may be forked
over while mixing, and the sprinkling
done as evenly as possible. It is not nec-
essary to saturate the manure, but, as the
acid costs but a fraction over a cent for each
pound, it may be used liberally,as a single
carboy will answer for a large bulk of ma-
nure. Five pounds of the acid placed in a
barrel of urine will preserve it and convert
the plant food into ‘‘salts.”” Care must be
used in handling the acid, as heat is given
off when it is mixed with water, and it
should not touch the skin, anointing with
ammonia and then vaseline should such
happen. Use glass vessels, as the acid at-
tacks wood, tin, etc., but the manure and
‘liquids may he worked on the floor. Even
the litter, such as straw, stalks, ete., will
be disintegrated by the acid if they are
made fine with the feed cutter or shredder
before used as bedding. If the farmer will
save his liquids and add the acid he will
then have a solution of sulphate of am-
monia and sulphate of potash, being just
the same as he gets from the manufacturer,
and in the solids he will also have sulphates
and free phosphoric acid. Every pound of
the fertilizer will be soluble and available
when applied, and, if preferred, the solids
and liquids may be mixed before using the
acid, any absorbent material being added
to prevent flow of the liquids. The fertil-
izer thus prepared should be placed under
cover, like any other kind, and the farmer
should ‘‘acidulate’’ once a week, so as to
get the manure out of the way as fast as
produced by the animals. The sum of $5
for acids will save ten times its cost, the
manure will be better, no loss of ammonia
occurs, the phosphoric acid is soluble, the
bulk of the manure is reduced, and the
farmer saves a fertilizer hill by adopting
factory methods.
—The fall is an excellent time for -buy-
ing pure bred stock, as breeders are dis-
posed to sell at lower prices in order to
save room in the stables or barns and avoid
the labor and care of carrying surplus stock
over winter. Farmers who are interested
in improvement in that direction should
take advantage of the fall season in buy-
ing.
—If there is a poor place on the farm do
not neglect it as worthless, but endeavor to
improve it. It is possible that such a piece
of land may require drainage, or should be
limed, and sometimes a green crop plowed
under may make an improvement. The
poorest of soils can be improved.
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
The period that succeeds the honeymoon
is a critical time in the case of most mar-
riages. The transition from lover and
sweetheart to husband ard wife is beset
with little difficulties. This is just the
time, therefore, when the tact and skill of
the wife need to be exerted to prevent
their union from falling to a commonplace
level.
Advice to the woman of 30: ‘‘Keep your
figure.”” How many women are rolling up
and down the verandas of our summer
hotels who are sights to look at! They
have neither form nor shape and are only a
little past middle age. If you watch them
you will notice that their arms are help-
less, like those of deformed people, yet
they are in correct proportion with their
bodies, but useless for want of exercise.
Now, it is the arms that must act as pro-
pellers to reduce the size of the figure. If
they had been used to slap the hands to-
gether over the head every day for a year
the abdomen would have been reduced,
the rolls of unsightly flesh scattered and a
good walk, instead of a waddle, would have
been the result. There is absolutely no
need for a thickness of waist or cushions of
fat because of advancing years. These are
the result of lethargy in the beginning of
the increase.
Use dumbbells, practice lying on your
face, then support the body by gradual lift-
ing on the palm of the hands, rising slowly to
full height. Join a physical culture class
and have your weight recorded every day.
Work until you are bathed in perspiration
—it will be a decreasing bath—and keep
up the effort until you have made a return
to your normal weight and condition.
The rush of American lives is largely re-
sponsible for the numerous cases of indi-
gestion and dyspepsia that spoil the mental
as well as the physical powers of men,
women and children alike. It isn’t the
actual hurry that is the absolute and dom-
inant cause, but it is the nervous desire to
attain an end or money paying result that
makes even meal time a period for money
market discussion or detailed account of
financial or domestic worry. In fact, we
are toc prone to drag our business, what-
ever it is, along with us when we sit down
to what should be a restful and pleasant
eating and drinking. Look at your own
househcld or that of anyone of your ac-
quaintances. Is it not the exception
rather than the rule to find a family that
comes to the table determined solely to en-
joy the meal unhampered by any crying
care that has crept into the day’s routine?
Father is silent and morose. He bolts his
food with only a few curt remarks between
mouthfuls and frequently reads the stock
quotations instead “of performing the serv-
ices of carver and host.
Mother tells of her trials with the cook
or waxes indignant over the impertinence
of the new housemaid. The son grumbles
because he cannot have an 1399 wheel and
the daughter pouts because she cannot
have as many new gowns as the heiress
next door. The waitress looks flurried and
unhappy, and it is no wonder that she
‘‘gives warning’’ when her week is up.
The depressing atmosphere is enough to
drive her away to seek employment in sur-
roundings where the atmosphere is not con-
tinually charged with gloom and worry.
Why not, therefore, resolve that at the
table, at least, no unpleasant topicsshall be
introduced? If the habit is so strong that
at first it is hard to speak without introdue-
ing a grumble of some sort keep quiet un-
til a cheerful topic presents itself. It will
not be long before the dinner table conver-
sation will be of a variety conducive to the
enjoyment and perfect digestion of the
meal. The banishment of worry in one
place will lead to the banishment in an-
other and by and by home will be what it
was intended from the first, a haven of rest
and content into which the petty annoy-
ances of the outside world cannot force ad-
mittance.
Among the new skirts one in dark-blue
is noticeable, since it has an overskirt of
rather a new cut. The foundation skirt, to
begin with, is faced’ to a depth of 12 inches.
Over this falls the one piece overskirt, the
seam (and opening) being in the back. It
is full three inches shorter than the founda-
tion skirt in the front, but comes to the
edge of the slightly trailing foundation in
the back. The model feature is the edge
of the overshirt, which is cut in shallow
battlements and edged with black satin
folds.
To those who have not pretty shoulders,
but who rejoice in the coolness of an un-
lined lace guimpe and sleeves, a tight, flat
little shoulder cap of the fabric of which
the bodice is built is both smart and be-
coming. This is very effective on a white
batiste robe, which is charmingly inserted
with large motifs of straw-colored linen
guipure, each motif outlined and connected
with a shirred straw-colored ribbon.
Through the lace a white taffeta lining
gleams. The robe is in princess lines be-
hind, and in front is draped softly in sur-
plus fashion and gathered in at the waist-
line with a large gold buckle. The pointed
decolletage and the opening down the side
of the skirt are edged with a shirred, straw
colored ribbon. Below the little shoulder
cap I spoke of there is a long unlined sleeve
of fhe guipure of which, also, the plastron
is built.
The biting of thread is one of the worst
abuses to which a tooth can be subjected.
Just why the habit is formed would be
hard to say, because every work basket
worth the name contains a pair of scissors,
and only the merest fraction of time is lost
in using ttem. The persistent biting is
literally saving the enamel off the teeth,
and nothing can take its place; yet I vent-
ure to to say that everyone of the thread-
biting women would stoutly maintain that
she takes the best care of her teeth, and
cannot understand why she is forced to pay
such frequent visits to her dentist. He will
not tell hel what is the matter, because he
has undotbtedly grown weary of giving
good advie: which nobody follows. He
will repairthe damage as far as his skill
goes, and Docket the fees like a sensible
man. Newer, never, expect sympathy for
the result sf your own foolishness, for it
will not beforthcoming.
f
Cape elgance is quite overpowering.
One threequarter-length beauty in pale
gray broadtloth points down in the back
and sweep upward in the front in a way
that makeg many a woman smile as she re-
calls the liteness to the plates in the God-
ey’s Ladi&’ books that her mother or
grandmother kept stored away in the gar-
ret. This modern model is lined with
white satinand is bordered all round with
gray, whid go around the bottom and bias

Where is John Roan?
The whereabouts of John Roan, who dis- |
appeared from his home in West Keating |
township, Clinton county, Thursday, April |
6th, 1899, is as much a mystery to-day as
when the neighbors first began to search
for him on Saturday, April 8th. So-called
detectives and peace officers have traveled
all over that country interviewing the na-
tives, running down all kinds of rumors, |
but still John Roan remains absent and |
even his body cannot be located.
The general impression of the people of
that neighborhood, and of Karthaus town-
ship, Clearfield, Co., where Roan wasso well
known and where he transacted business
daily before he disappeared, is that he was
murdered. Almost every person who has
given much thought to the case has some
kind of a theory but all agree that the old
lumberman and farmer was ‘‘made away
with.”
Some weeks ago a long story appeared in
a Williamsport Sunday newspaper contain-
ing descriptions of the country, pictures of
the principals of the Roan family and inter-
views with Mrs. Roan and some neighbors.
Mis. Roan now denies the Grit interview
and says she did not say half that is credit-
ed to her. Whether or not this is true is
immaterial if the murdered body of John
Roan is ever found. It is now asserted
that young Roan claims he found the Penn-
sylvania tie voucher in the bible, whereas
his mother’s story to the reporter was that
it was found on the organ. She is reported
as saying it was given to Dr. F. S. Nevling
in part payment of a bill. Dr. Nevling
says it was given to him to take his bill
out of and send the remainder of the mon-
ey to the Roans.
Officer Reid, of Renovo, says he has sev-
eral clues well in hand and can lay his
hands upon the right parties whenever he
can get a trace of the body. Other citizens
of that neighborhood, who havegiven some
attention to the case, are in touch with the
officials of Clinton county and they say
some arrests may be made soon.
The Roan family, that is Mrs. Roan and
her children, are now talking of increasing
the reward from $500 to $1,000.
A Rib Cracker.
David Squeezed Her and She Sued Him for Assault
and Battery.
A little squeezing may be all right, but,
according to Miss Alice Dill, of 6027 Broad
street, Pittsburg, there is such a thing as
getting too much of it. On August 7th
Miss Dill entertained David Campbell, a
carpenter, who called on her at her home.
During the evening, when they were seated
on a sofa, Campbell’s strong right arm
crept around Miss Dill’s waist. She gently
remonstrated, but David expected this and
said: ‘‘Ah, gwan, yer only foolin’.”’ He
gave her another squeeze, and when she
gasped he released her. »
A physician found that two of her ribs
had been broken, and after she had heen in
bed two weeks she sent the doctor’s bill to
David. When he refused to pay it on
Thursday she saed him before Alderman
Negley, for assault and battery.
Standard Formula for Bordeaux.
The standard formula for bordeaux mix-
ture, as presented by the Cornell station, is:
Copper sulphate (blue vitriol ),6 pounds;
fresh stone lime (unslaked), 4 pounds;
water, 50 gallons.
Dissolve the copper in half of the water
used, suspending the crystals in a sack
in the water. Slack the lime slowly and
then dilute to half the full quantity of wa-
ter. Pour one solution into the other,stir-
ring constantly. Stir the mixture before
using. If the potassium ferrocyanide test
is not used, it might be well to add anoth-
er pound of lime.
Czar’s Iliness Serious!
Paris Papers Say He Must Undergo a Trepanning
Operation. Says He has Amnesia in a Dangerous
Form—The Statement Thought to be Considerably
Exaggerated.
‘'The amnesia with which the Czar has
just been struck seems to indicate a dan-
gerous physiological situation. Emperor
Nicholas is about to go to Darmstadt with
the Empress, and he will confide the re-
gency to nis grand-uncle Nicholas Michael-
ovitch. Daring his stay abroad the Czar
will undergo the operation of trepanning,
the result of which is uncertain, despite
the progress in surgical science.
SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE.—You can’t
keep a good thing down. News of it travels
fast. When things are ‘‘the best’ they
become ‘‘the best selling.”” Abraham
Hare, a leading druggist, of Belleville, O.

ing bitters I have ever handled in my 20
years experience.”’ You know why ? Most
diseases begin in disorders of stomach,
liver, kidneys, bowels, blood and nerves.
Electric Bitters tones up the stomach, regu-
lates liver, kidneys and bowels, purifies
the blood, strengthens the nerves, hence
cures multitudes of maladies. It builds up
the entire system. Puts new life and vigor

EE SS,
The Progress of Civilization in Haiti.
The bulk of the Haitians will tell you
that they consider what was good enough
for their fathers good enough for them. In
| consequence they are opposed to all prog-
ress. No stronger proof can be given of
this than the new market erected by the late
progressive President in the capital. This
is a very large building, covering two en-
tire blocks in the heart of the city of Port
au Prince, connected over the intervening
street by a very imposing arch and cloek-
tower. As faras my own experience is
concerned, this market is the only cocl,
comfortable place in the city. Yet it is
never used, though the streets surrounding
itare packed to suffocation. The market
people swelter in the heat, and their meats
and vegetables decompose so rapidly in the
sun that after business has been going on
for a few hours the nose that is not trained
to all the stages of a Haitian market must
be carefully carried on the windward side
of the crowded picturesque scene. A very
large proportion of these wretched un-
healthy characteristics could be avoided if
the people would go under the cool, spac-
ious, well-aired shelter provided for them;
but their forefathers bought and sold in
the open air, and that decides the matter.
In some of the smaller places, where they
have shade trees and small rustic booths,
it seems better, but really is not, as the
people sit in the shade and thrust their
stock out in the sun so that the glare of
the light upon it will call attention.—Har-
per’s Magazine.
