"I have:uged a small quantity of manure, and wonder if 50 lbs. per acre would be plenty. 1 was satisfied with it on Spring Grain last year at 50 Ibs. 'per acre. "J. B. V.--Brant Co." A.--In answer to your inquiry of the 24th, I' wish to say that Animo-Phos. supplies two essential nutrients for the growth of Fall Wheat, namely, Nitrogen .and Phosphate. If the clay loam has been fairly well farmed and al- ready produces fairly heavy straw growth, I am of the opinion that straight Ammo-Phos, "may supply too much Nitrogen and cause the grain to go down. This would not likely occur at 50 lbs, per acre. Ammo-Phos. of course, car- Clay soi), is natu- rally fairly well supplied with Pot- . ash unless it is a piece of land which has' been heavily cropped for some years. One other point: 'Ammo-Phos. is a very concentrat- ed form of fertilizer, hénce be careful not to apply it too heavily next to the seed. Q.--Please tell me what is the value of chicken manure (fresh and dry) ¢ompared with Nitrate of Soda. I want to use the chick: - en manure chiefly on asparagus' and orchard. "J. W. P., Middle- sex Co." r : Clranlecle NONE LJ CIGARETTE PAPERS FINER MADE A.--Answering your inquiry of the 26th, as to comparison: of chicken manure with Nitrate of Soda. Poultry manure carries to the ton 22 lbs. Nitrogen, 17 of Phosphoric. Acid and 11 of Pot- ash. Nitrate of Soda (16% N.) carries to the ton 800 lbs. Nitro- gen, no Phosphorus and no Potash, This shows that the Nitrate of So- da is about 14 times as strong in "Nitrogen as the chicken manure, "but it does not carry the other in- gredients, This will give you a guide as to the rate at which you "would apply the Nitrate of Soda tc the asparagus and orchard, if you were making a basic applica- tion of say, 200 lbs. of Nitrate of Soda per acre. The chicken man- ure is valuable as. a dressing to the orchard, providing the trees need Nitrogen. This you could judge by the twig growth. The asparagus will benefit materially by _the Phosphate and Potash if chicken 'manure is applied to it.

Allen, a - well-known figure in tho American auto industry, resembles a = home more than the present vehicles that fill city streets, | "In the not too distant future," he said, * we will walk up to our car, push' a button, and the door will open. We will have the impres- sion, of entering a commodious' room, It will not be necessary to crawl around stationary seats and trip over bumps and tunnels in the floor. The seats will be light, mov- able chairs and the floor will" be wide and flat. "A portion of the" roof will be made of a curved translucent mat- erlal which will -admit the health- giving rays of the sun, at the same time removing the glare.

Germans Wear Special Armor Return to Mediaeval Costume Adopted for Machine Gun- ners Dispatches from the western front In Popolo di Roma Italian newspaper, have described a new kind of armor--reminiscent of horse and buggy days as well as the age of knighthood--being worn by German soldiers. The armor consists of stream- lined shields, the newspaper said, and of helmets with. metal side- bBoards--similar in appearance to blinders for horses--designed to protect the face. Shields And Blinders The armor, especially designed' for sharpshooter' units, as sald to be of almost impenetrable alloy. For offensive purposes, it was sald, each armored soldier was equip. ped with a small machine gun fir ing 120 bullets a minute. These sharpshooter groups, the reports said, were organized into small units which saw action on the western front for the first time late in "eptember.
