SALT AS CHECK To THE CHINCH
BUG.-PrOfesSOr Forbes, the Illinois
state entomologist, is credited with
having sail: Il hvae no personal ex-
perience with the Use of salt as a check
upon chlnch bug increase, but from
what 1 know of the habits of that i'll
sect and the effect of other fertilizers.
L should not expect any important ad-
vantage, except IN soil where salt will
specially stimulate the growth of the
grain. Some experiments with salt.
made within my knowledge by inteIli-
gent farmers of southern Illinois, were
without noticeable effect.

You say you went to party last evening
and you saw Mrs. Smith, an old friend
whom you had not seen since she and your
sister were at school together. You had a
very pleasant talk until supper, when you

glasses of wine on waiter, and offered it
to her, you saw her shudder as she said
"No ~ and you wondered why Mrs. Smith,

there was a noise at the door. She opened

In planting vegetable seeds it is necessa-
ry that they come in close contact with the
soil in order to secure speedy termination.
As a rule, small seeds should not be cover.
ed to much depth, and for that reason with
the soil thoroughly pulverized the natural
moisture becomes evaporated at the sur
face, by which means the seed is deprived
of that moisture which is necessary for its
germinal development. In order to avoid
this the soil should be sufficiently compact
ed or firmed to insure its complete contact
with the seed.
1t seems to be an absolute necessity that
this condition exist in the planting of all
kinds of seed and in transplanting plants
This principle seems to have been fully un-
derstood by the fathers, for we can well re-
member when it was considered that it was
absolutely necessary at time of planting of
corn or potatoes that every hill be stepped
upon and trodden by the feet. This course,
in addition to bringing the soil in contact
with the seed, served, as was believed, as
an obstacle to the successful efforts of
crows in pulling the corn. And they raised
good corn in those old fashioned days.

The Duties Of Life.

Every life has its purpose for being, and
that 1t is not always fulfilled only argues
the blindness and recreancy of the one who
is content to exist-not live in the best
sense of the term Not plant that springs
from the bosom of the earth but fulfs some
part in the design of creation and. since
the rule applies to the most insignificant of
earths objects. with what reason or sense
can man hope TO evade the universal re
sponsibility To merely exist is not to
live; 1t is to caricature and belittle the
very name of life To live is to he a living.

the best results are the Eclipse and the early
blood turnp
of cahhares the hest varieties for early
and late consumption are respectively the
Jersey Wax ciield aud Henderson's early
summer, and the stone mason and Fotler's
Brunswick
The cultivation Of caulifowers is the
same as for cabbages The best varieties
are the early Snow ball and the Dwarf Err
furt
Carrots are grown In the same way as
beets The best varieties are Danvers half
| long and French forcing
In sweet corn the best known varieties
are the extra early Marblebead and Cros-
| by's early, although the pedigree sweet at
| the station gave the earliest returns last
season.
Cucumbers should not be planted until
all danger Of frost has passed, and it is a
mistaken idea that the vegetable needs a
large amount of fertilizer. The white
spine is perhaps the best variety for table
use and the Boston picklngs for pickles.
Lettuce should be found in all gardens.
As it is best the first part Of the season, the
| seed can be sOwn very early, hv the first of
May. The black seeded Tennis Ball is one
of the best varieties for general use, al
though the Hanson is an excellent variety
| for late crop
Peas should be planted early and at in
tervals through the spring so that they
may last through the summer. The best
varieties are the Daniel ORourke and the
first and best for early peas. Motifs early
| Victory gave excellent results last season.
The best mediums are the American won
der and the advance For the later varie-
ties the Champion Of England and the Tele-
phone are the best.
Radishes can be sown at the same time
as peas. The early scarlet gave the best
results last year
Squash and pumpkin can be planted at
the same time as cucumbers. The early
summer crook neck for early and the Hub
bard and turban for late are the best vari-
cites Of squashes.
Tomatoes can be grown from seed even
in this climate and the farmer who wishes
