In the early Spring it is often the case
that seeds are sown in boxes to obtain
early sets. In this plan it is often noticed
that il the seeds arc little too thick the
plants form but few lateral roots, but
throw the growth into one central, or tap
root. The plant when reset has thus but
little root support, and unless under very
favorable conditions many Of the plants
die. hin planting these seeds very shal:
low boxes are used and only an inch OF
very fine dirt is allowed, the plants, II
sown not very thickly, will, instead OF the
central root, throw out side, or lateral
rootlcts in abundance, so that when the
plant is transplanted it has means OF
subsistence that is not possessed by the
out-rootcd plant that hastens its growth
and lessons its chances oil early death.
The Homestead reports u Massachusetts,
farmer who prepared his battle-ground by
using twenty tons OF barnyard manure
and one ton OF phosphate per acre. Now
he failed to tell how large the yield was,
but it must have been very much larger
than Ohio returns, or there was dead
loss somewhere. Two hundred bushelsof
potatoes at 80 cents would only about
twice pay for the purchased fertilizer,
leaving $40 for the labor, seed, value Of
twenty tons OF manure, harvesting, etc. 1t
is Just those kind Of reports that establish
nothing but suspicion about high farm

SEED BED.
The aiodas operandl of Preparing It After
the PioW.

The Modas operandi OF Preparing II Attei
oAfe FSae.
Preparing the seed bed after the plow Il
o work OF no small importance. Inregard
to the consistency ofthe soil at the time Of
working the same rule laid down for plow-
ing would also be applicable here. A good
seed-bed cannot be made from wet, waxy
earth. A very sandy soil may be worked
when quite wet, as the particles never adj
here to any great extent, as Is the case
with soils containing considerable
amount OF clay or loan. One cultivating
or narrowing when the ground is In the
right condition will do more good than
three when the ground is too wet to fall
apart readily.
Where the land Is plowed in autumn,
or quite time before seeding, it should
not, as rule, be replowed. That portion
which has lain exposed to the action OF
the elements is best adapted to the wants
OF plant life, as II is more thoroughly dis
integrated, and therefore holding its ferti-
lity In an Immediately available form. To
turn this surface soil under would be TO
lose all that has been gained by the action
Of the frost or by other means. A thor
ough stirring aud mixing is what 1t wants.
Cultivators with deep, sharp teeth should
first be used, running them both ways
across the field. After thus loosening up
and stirring the whole depth OF the soil
let the sun and air have chance at 1t for
. few hours at least before putting on the
harrows. These last should have fine,
closely set teeth and be light
and wide, that the work may
DO rapidly as well as effectively
done. A team can draw light-framed,
steel.tooth harrow that takes u ten-foot
sweep as easily rs it could many OF the
old-iashioned six-by-six timbered drags
that covered less than hall the width.
With good wide harrow We can go over
q field In half the time that would be re-
quired with narrow one. What we gain
in this way should be applied to the finer
working OF the soil. AS a general thing,
but one narrowing succeeds the cultivating
before seeding. Another cross-harrowing
is OF immense benefit, and 1t should be
given II possible. One narrowing after
the cutivating usually leaves the held in
a very smooth, even condition, but Is
the second narrowing that makes the sur
face fine. AS rule, we should put more
work on the land before the seed is sown
and less after. The finer the seeds to be
sown, the finer the soil should be made.
For small garden seeds we can hardly
make the soil fine enough with our field
harrows. In small gardens the garden
rake may be used after the harrow; but
one who is gardening on large scale
should have a very light harrow with
small, sharp, steel teeth set closely togeth-
er. Such an implement is also excellent
fol the smaller field seeds such as grass,
turnips, etc. The roller should not be
used on heavy soils, either before or after
seeding. On light, porous soils it may
precede the marking for crops that are to
be planted in rows or drills. A heavy
plank drawn broadside over The land is
often vastly superior to the roller, as it
grinds the Jumps instead Of pressing them
into the ground.

Chronic Catarrh.

c. w. Mellier, Of 4o6 South Fourth
street, st, Louis, d twenty years Of age,
and has been q sufferer from chronic
catarrIi, which had become quite often.
sivc. When he came to DR.. Hartman, two
months ago, he was told It would take six
months 10 cure him. But he has pro.
grcsscd beyond all expectations, and
nearly all signs OF the disease have dis.
appeared. Before being treated he could
not breathe out Of the nose, and now he
has perfect control of the nasal organ.
PERuNA did the business.
James Dunn, of 1870 Gay street. St.
Louis, has suffered from catarrh since
1870. The gentleman told the reporter
the following straightforward story OF
his case. al took the disease in Mem.
phis. 1t commenced in my head and
extended 10 my throat, and bad cough
followed. l went 10 a number of ply
Sicians, and they told me my trouble was
liver disease, and one said II was palpita-
ton Of the heart that caused the cough.
For the last year have been practically
worthless. / could not ascend flight Of
stairs without suffering from Shortness OF
breath and fast beating Of the heart, and
my appetite was very defective. After
eating often coughed SO hard that
would throw up everything in my stom-
pch. could not walk any distance with
but painting. Five weeks ago went
under the care of DR.. Hartman. and now
my cough has disappeared and ! feel like
new man." PERUNA was his treat
mcnt.
Ncxtcamc George Saucrbaum, residing
at 1890 Carr street, St. Louis, who is an
old patient of DR.. Hartman. He stated
that lie had suffered most intensely from
chronic catarrh Of the head and lungs, but
Is now almost cured, his lungs being en-
tirely well and his head greatly improved.
The gratitude Of this gentleman was
almost boundless, and he expressed 1t to
the reporter in the strongest terms, say.
