-Gardens where clay prcdominates
may be improved greatly by coal
ashes spread to the depth of three or
four inches, to be worked in next
spring. This treatment repeated until
the clay has something of the character

rubbish in every garden that can with
profit be disposed of by feeding it to
the COWS. Beet tops, turnip tops, cab
bage leaves, etc, can be fed to advan-

the flavor of the milk, if they are eaten
just after milking and in moderate
quantities. But it will not do to let
COWS eat such stuff to excess or in
large quantities. Chicago Standard.
