EASY TO MASTER
understanding of homely
"SQUARE" REALLY IS SIMPLE.
v
Most Useful Tool Requires Little Study
?Explanation of Its Value and
Properties Makes the Prin
ciple Plain.
1'erhaps there Is no other tool among
tho many used by tin.* mechanic so use
ful ns the stool square, or carpenter's
square. Although thore aro n number
of marks and figures on the stool
square there is nothing eonqdicated
or that requires any know ledge above
the ordinary to he able to use it in
many cases, and after a few hours'
careful study every mark should he
clearly understood.
The long arm of the square is called
the hody and the short arm is called
the tougue. Tho Junction between tho
body and the tongue t?n the outside is
called the heel. The body of a stand
ard Steel square Is two Inches wide
and 24 Inches long, the tongue Is from
14 It) 18 Inches long and one ami one
half Inches wide.
In this article tho face of the square
will be that side toward the obsirver
when the body of the square Is held
In the left hand and the tongue in
the right. This Is true except with
the Nicholas square, which will be tak
en up later. The most Important marks
on the steel square are Its gradua
tions, which are dlvlcfced Into inches
and fractions of an Ineh. It Is Just
as necessary ? that the graduations be
perfect as for the body to be at right
angles with the tongue, The Inch may
be divided Into eighths, sixteenths or
twelfths.
The first scale we will try to de
scribe will be the octagon scale. This
scale is on the face of the tongue of
the square and Is shown by do(,a along
the middle, the marks being numbered
In tens, the first number being two
Inches from tho heel. The octagon
scale Is used as follows: Let It be re
quired to make an octagonal or eight
sided post from a stick.of timber lli
inches by 12 inches. First divide the
end of the stick into four equal parts
by lines parallel to' the faces, now set
olT from each side of the center line on
each face as many spaces frotu the
octagon scale as the timber is luches
square, in this case it would be 12.
These points represent the angles of
the octagon.
The brace scale, which is on the mid
dle of the back of the tongue of the
square, consists of two equal numbers
placed one over the other which repre
sents the two legs of a right angle tri
angle the number at the right repre
sents the hypotenuse of this triangle.
Some squares have the two leijs un
equul but the scale 1m used the twme
way. Tito use will be seen from the
following: Let It be required to put
a bruce between a |K?t?t and a beam

Professional'Women in Russia.
From the middle of the last century
the women of husxiu have asserted

government service have attracted tlit

i schoolH were closed to them, they wont

Women Doing Work of Men.
! A short time ago farmers In the
! United Kingdom were declaring that
1 women could not possibly take the
i place of men on the land. Women
have been engaged ever since In prov
' Ing that they could do so. The funnel
has been constrained to admit, rdo]'
by step, at lirst grudgingly, but latoi
! with generous appreciation, that then
is nothing that a man can do on tin
land that a woman cannot do, not even
plowing excepted. Now there comes
word from France that the Agricultu
ral Society of the Hautes Alpos lias
awarded a number of medals to wom
en who, in the absence of tho men.
have carried on the field work In thost
regions, for the most part unaided. A
special medal was granted to one wom
an who did the entire sowing and reap
ing of her land single-handed.
Different Methods.
"Which would you rather vote for,
an old-fashioned politicians or an up
to-date reformer?"
"I believe I would prefer the old
fashioned politician."
"Rut lie's apt to b?< crooked."

Better Farming in the South
WHAT THE CROPS ARE ASKING FOR
Feed the Plants Properly and the Soil Can Be Built Up Instead of Run Down
While Increasing Crop Yields
Staple cropsl
take out largo
amounts of plant
food from the soil.
For example: A
cotton crop of one
bale per acre will
remove from the
land in seed,
leaves, stalks and
bolls, about 77
pounds of nitro
gen 64 pounds of
potash and 2S
pounds of phos

Agronomist.
phoric acid. A 40 bushel crop
of com will remove in the grain, stalk
and fodder about 64 pounds of nitro
gen, 54 pounds of potash and 34 pounds
of phosphoric acid. A 40 bushel crop
of oats will remove in the grain and
straw about 36 pounds of nitrogen,
41 pounds of potash and 16 pounds of
phosphoric acid. If, however, stalks,
bolls, straw, etc., are plowed under,
some of the plant food will be return
ed to the soil.
Cotton Fertilizer Problem
With the present price of cotton and
other farm products, it will pay the
farmer to give more attention this
Spring to the problems of soil build
ing and to the intelligent use of fer
tilizers than ever before. Some of
the be?t farmers of the South have
adopted the plan of returning to the
soil in fertilizers, the money received
from all or part of their cottonseed.
This is a good plan and should be
more generally adopted.
Enough Plant Food for Best Yietda
It takes from 300 pounds ~to 400
pounds of fertilizer to mako a good
weed in cotton, or a good stalk In
corn, and unless amounts above these
are used, full returns cannot be ex
pected because large amounts must be
applied to produce the fruit and the
grain.
The amount of fertilizer that can
be used profitably will vary with the
different soil types, seasons and with
the different crops grown. The most
important factor, however, governing
the amount of fertiliaer that can be
used with profit is the price of the
article produced At the present price
of cotton, it will pay to use on most
of the soil types of the South larger
amounts of fertilizer than heretofore.
To Meet Boll Weevil Situation
When grown under boll weevil con
ditions, cotton should be liberally fer
tilized and this fertilizer should con
tain a large percentage of phoephoric
acid, which Ingredient hastens its ma
turity. A fertillier containing an am
ple supply of ammonia should also be
used to start the plant off quickly in
its growth. Th?$ farmer must ever
bear in mind that the best way he can
ligni the uoii wefvii is 10 force his
cotton to a quick growth and to an
early maturity. Many farmers in the
boll weevil district, are finding that
peanuts and soy beans are splendid
substitutes for cotton. Unless these
crops are well fertilized, however, with
the fertilizer carrying high percentage
of phosphate, good yields cannot be
expected.
How to Tell What Is Necessary
The farmer can oftentimes deter
mine the element most needed in his
fertilizer by noting the manner of
growth of cotton on his different Boil
types. When the growth is slow and
the plants have a yellow, unhealthy
look, nitrogen (or ammonia) should be
applied in rather large amounts. If,
however, the plants look vigorous, but
are not fruiting well, phosphoric acid
should be used liberally.
Generally speaking, for poor soils, the
most important element of a fertilizer
is nitrogen, and the next most import
ant is phosphorous. Therefore, for
poor soils we would recommend under
present war conditions, which makes
potash scarce, a fertilizer for cotton
and corn analyzing about 9 per cent
available phosphoric acid and 3 per
cent ammonia and 2 per cent potash.
For peanuts 12 per cent phosphoric
acid, 2 per cent ammonia and 2 per
cent potash. For fertile soils we would
recommend for cotton and corn, a fer
tilizer analyzing 12 per cent available
phosphoric acid. 2 per cent ammonia
and 2 per cent potash, and for peanuts,
a fertilizer analyzing 12 per cent phos
phoric acid, 1 1-2 per uent ammonia
and 2 per cent potash. For the sandy
loam soils of the coastal plaip, pot
ash is the most essential and for to
bacco and truck crops must be applied
in liberal amounts.
The reason that nitrogen or ammo
nia is so necessary an element for prac
tically all soils is because the nitrates
are soluble in water, and are, there
fore, constantly leaching out of the
land. The farmers should try to store
up as much nitrogen in the soil as
possible by growing such crops as
beans, peas, clover, vetches, etc., which
plants add nitrogen to the soil from
the atmosphere. Practically all soils
of the South are well adapted to the
growing of these legumes.
If, however, crops are grown in ro
tation with"" legumes, it will still be
necessary to use commercial forma of
nitrogen to obtain the best results
While nitrogen is the main element of
a fertilizer, on poor land phosphoric
acid is the most essential and in prac
tically all of the testa that hare been
made"iQ the South, better results hare
been obtained with soluble phosphoric
acid than kith finely ground phosphate
rocks or float?.

even in a severo woolen suit.
The reason for her disregard of sex
Is not dltllcult to define. Russia is tho
foremost undeveloped country In the
world. Like its own flat, gray expanse
of physical surface, beneath which un
touched treasures of resource lie, a
crust of mystery covers the human
resource of the Russian millions. The
charm of Russia Is not in its romantic,

When 1 went to Russia to put my

potentiality, writes Richard Washburn i
Child In the Century, the volcanic j
seething which the war has tilled with |
new tremors, did not think of the
Russian woman at nil.
It Is the women, I think, who today
possess a vision calmer than tlr.it of
the Russian men. From a woman F
received the coolest and the wisest
analysis of the politics of the empire
and the most sensible forecast of the
struggle between the people and the
bureaucracy. Through a woman I ob
tained tin* greatest fund ol Informa
tion about the future commercial de
velopment of the land and about the
opportunities for American business.
A woman drew for me tin* clearest
picture of what was needed to organize
for military victories. It was the wom
an of Russia who, without distortion
of self-Interest, of prejudice or fear,
could see what the new human growth
required of compromise with the pres
ent form of the government and what
of a li^ht to-a finish. And that Is the
most delicate question which Russia
must determine In the decade which
follows the final peace.
Last Indian Fighter.
One the most distinguished bs

Appleton Miles. Born in Westminster.
Mass.. August 8. 1839, he began his
military career at the outbreak of the
Civil war, starting as a first lieutenant
and winning Ills way by sheer merit
and fighting ability to the rank of ma- .
Jor general of volunteers. Just half a
century ago he entered the regular
army as a colonel, becoming a briga
dier general in 1880, a major general In
18JK), and a lieutenant general In 1900.
three years before his retirement from
active service. General Miles took
part in the campaign against nearly j
all of the more formidable Indian war j
chiefs, including Sitting Bull, Crazy
Horse, Oeronlmo, Chief Joseph and
Natchez. He represented the United ,
States army abroad during the Turco
Greclan war, and was an unofficial ob
server at the more recent Balkan wars,
while his son, MaJ. Sherman Miles, was :
military attache with the Balkan al- j
lies during those bloody struggles. Gen- ]
eral Miles was in Sofia, the capital of
Bulgaria, at the outbreak of the pres
ent European war.
