If the squash branches are vigorous
and long stretch them over level sur
face and bury every fourth or fifth
joint, as wherever the plant is buried
new roots are formed for the better
nutrition of the stem and fruit. The
squash bears male and female blossoms
on the same plant, the latter only pro-
ducing the fruit. If the fruit is all
lowed to remain on the vines after
ripening much of the flavor will be
lost.

Never use manure from the stable
on lawns, as the seeds of weeds are
thus scattered, which terminate, grow
up and disfgure the lawn. A fertili-
ger made of 200 paunds sulphate of

100 pounds sulphate of ammonia will
be found excellent. The quantity is
sufficient for an acre, and should be
applied in October and April, half the
