AJ m Fertilizer Formulas The follow’.rf? fertilizer formulas a-e prepared for farmers mixing their o' , .vn fer ; lizcrs, and include all common materials on the market in McCorm ck County. Each formula : s worked out on a ton bas : s; that is. those formulas calling for less than a ton of materials contain the same fertilizing elements as a ton of mix ed goods having the same formula, and a feit.lizer company would only add the extra weight in sand, or some other filler. Use each formula below where you would use a ton of mixed goods hav ng the same form ula. Sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of soda have the same comparative value as a fertilizer. Sulphate of ammonia carries 25 per cent am- monir, and nitrate of soda carries 18 percent. Therefore, 75 pounds sul phate of ammonia is equal in value to 100 pounds nitrate of soda. In the same way, muriate of potash and kainit have the same comparative value. Mur'ate of potash carries 48 per cent potash while kainit carries 12 per cent, and 25 pounds muriate of potash is equal in value to 100 pounds kainit. The following formulas containing cotton seed meal are especially rec ommended to those farmers who have cotton seed meal on hand. Formulas For 10-4-4. 1200 lbs. acid phospate 400 lbs. cotton seed meal 200 lbs. sulphate of ammonia 150 lbs. muriate of potash i 1200 lbs. acid phosphate 325 lbs. sulphate of ammonia 165 lbs. mur : ate of potash. 1250 lbs. acid phosphate. 450 lbs. nitrate of soda- 165 lbs. muriate of potash. 1250 lbs. acid phosphate. 325 lbs.

NOTE: This formula is especial! recommended for corn at plantinj where 100 to 200 lbs. nitrate of sod or 75 to 150 lbs. sulphate of ammoni is to be used for side dressing. The job of mixing fertilizer should be thoroughly done. If th materials aie poorly mixed profit from mixing will be lost in poor re suits in crops. # For further information regardin fertilizers, or regarding specie formulas for spec al cases, see th county agent.

The Fordor is distinctive from the other Ford passenger cars in exter ior appearance. The cowl sweeps down in a graceful curve to a narrow belt molding which runs from the front of the hood on a straight line back and around the car. This gives the body a long low effect. Another feature that adds much to the exterior appearance is the roll belt effect below the windows which rolls down to the narrow molding. The top and rear quarters, which has rounded corners, is covered with a pyroxylin-coated material of a tan shade, in pleasing contrast with the body colors. Nickeled windshield frame and a nickeled molding at the juncture of the cowl and hood are other bits' of refinement which add materially to the attractiveness of the car. Ven tilators in the lower panels of the cowl on each side are another fea ture. The interior of the car has a strik- ngly rich and inviting appearance. The trimming i of tan upholstered in soft tan stiiped effect with deeply cushioned seats cloth, highly ef fective combination. The cushions are of the lounge style with over stuffed plain panels.

A feature of the rear quarter which adds to shoulder room for pas sengers is that the lining is recess ed from the door pillars, giving the additional room which is lost when the trimming is brought back on a straight line from the pillars. Seats in both compartments are deeply cushioned, wide and most comfortable. The attractiveness of the interior is further enhanced by the use of embossed paneling on the doors and around the ends of the seat in the front compartment. This is a de cidedly distinctive touch, sudh as might be expected only in custom- built bodies. An oval bow light in the rear com partment and a swinging robe rail are other pleas'ng and serviceable featuies. The hardware is all nickel ed in a conservative style of scroll effect and is all of uniform design in harmony with other interior trim ming. A Little Talk On Thrift (By S. W. STRAUS, President of American Society For Thrift.) It is somewhat unfortunate that in much of the current discussions of thrift undue emphasis is placed on the function of pennysaving. Certainly no criticism can be lev elled at the doctrine of economy in little things. Most business failures as well as those w hich come to in dividuals are the results of small items of w’aste. However, true thrift only begins with small savings. If this were not true, one would be forc ed to commend the practices of the miser. -As the result of constant exhorta tions to save pennies, save nickels and save dimes, many persons receive such an erroneous impression of thrift, that they decide to have none of it. Thrift should be emphasized as a practice which means real progress and rightful upholding. Of course, ttvs includes saving little things. It is thrifty to save the pennies. It is just as thrifty to save the moments; to be ca:eful of one’s health; to store the mind with useful knowledge; to keep one’s self sound mentally and physically as well as financially. It is for this*reason that in schools where savings banks are in opera tion, t here should also be instructions given to tin young on the true pur pose and objectives of thrift. Con tinually harping upon the point of saving pennies is quite apt to have one of two major reactions: (1) There is danger that the student will develop a narrow, tight-fisted, mer cenary, avaric'ous attitude. (2) There is danger that the whole sub ject of thrift will seem so tr.te and colorless that he will pay no atten tion to it. Thrift does mean penny-saving but only as part of the greater plan of eliminating all waste in order to pro mote the highest possible degree of personal efficitency and usefulness. Newspapers recently told of the icturn of $110 after its equivalent in merchandise had been lost for ten years. A poor office boy had lost the material. There was no obliga tion on his part to make restitution but as a matter of honesty he did so. The incident furnishes a commend able example of honesty. It also may be made use of in emphas'zing one phase of thrift. The man who received the money objected to accepUng it. If. instead of being generous, he had been one to insist on the last penny due him, he could have asked for $198.67 for that is the amount the $110 would have grown to be had it been invest- ed at 6 per cent compounded semi annually. Had the former office boy waited one year and 263 days, longer it would have been necessary for h ; m to have paid $220 or just twice the original amount, taking’ into consideration the normal earn ing possibilities of money. Figures illustrating the power of money to reproduce itself are always illuminating to those who have an appreciation of thrift and invest ment. On August 16> 1819, $10 was de posited in a N ew York savings bank. On the 26th of August the following year, a deposit of $5 was made. No other addition has been made to these deposits excepting ac crued compound interest yet the bank recently announced that the account had grown to $2,539.60. In a little over 100 years, the original de posit had multiplied 168 times. The sum of $5 was deposited in a certain savings bank in i836. No trace has ever s ’nee been heard of the original depositor. The account now amounts to $382.16 or more than 76 times the original deposit Any person who can save $90 a month during a period of 25 years, investing the savings at 6 per cent compounded semi-annually, will have the modest fortune of $61,975. The lessons are obvious. Put your money to work. X A German aviator named Fisler recently flew upside down for 10 minutes and 58 seconds, establishing a new world’s record.
