Broadcast manuring is better than ma
nuring in the hill, for the reason that it is
the fibrous roots that need the food.
If farmers were to understand that chem
ical fertilizers are merely concentrated farm
manure they would not be so prone to re-
gard a sufficient understanding of the ac-
ton of these fertilizers as something be-
yond their comprehension.
1t will pay farmers to place their seed
pieces Gf sound, that is, not sprouted) in
light sunny places ten days before plant
ing time.
The most economical way to apply Paris
green is to mix it thoroughly with plaster
rather than with water.
On no other crops have had such tell
ing results from the use of chemical fertil-
izers, as compared with farm manure, as
upon potatoes, and this has been the case
during the past twelve years without any
exception.
In trench it is as if there were three or
four tiers or planes for the growth of pO-
tatoes, a virtual extension of the area
planted, the same as a ten-story house may
occupy the same area of ground as one
story house.
Use large-sized pieces containing two or
three strong eyes.
Killing up on well drained land never in
creases the crop. The fbrOus roots extend
from hill to hill, from row to row, and the
soil should never be taken from them TO
heap it up about the stems where it is not
needed.-FrOm Mr.. Cdrmdn's neU book.

Most persons like peas, but venture the
prediction that not one farmer in one hun
dred raises enough for his own family use.
The reason for this is the trouble and eX-
pense attendant upon raising them. Our
plan is to plant them with our potatOes.a few
in each hill, about as many as you would of
beans in hill. We plant with our early
potatoes only, about one or two quarts to
half an acre. and we never could see that
they did the potatoes the least amount of
harm. The potato vines hold them up SUI
ticiently, so that they bear well and need
no bushing. We have raised them this
way for five or six years and have had an
abundance for our own use besides good
many we gave away, and good many went
to waste on the ground.-Cor. Ohio Ftum-

This is Miss Parloa's way, as described
10y her in the Ladies Home journal: Lay
the Innings on the floor, putting small
tack here and there to keep them in place.
Put the carpet on the floor, unrolling it
in the direction in which it is To be laid.
Begin To tack it at the end of the room
which is the most irregular. If there be a
fireplace or bay-window in the room fit
the carpet around these places first. Use
large tacks to hold the carpet temporarily
in place they can be withdrawn when the
work is finished. When the carpet is fitted
to a place, use small tacks to keep it down.
Tack one end of the carpet, stretching it
we'll; then side, then the other end, and
finally the other side. BE careful TO keep
the lines straight and to have the carpet tit
tightly; for if it be loose it will not only
look badly, but will not wear well.

Only two states average for the ten years
as large yield of corn per acre as Yer
mont, the average in this state being 32.5
bushels and the highest average in any
state being 1928. The average yield of
wheat per acre for the ten years is larger in

Vermont stands at the head of all the
states except one in the average yield of
oats per acre for ten years, and at the head

Only one state produced an average of

1t must be now apparent to the careful
reader that it is quite difficult to kill
the infnitesimally small eggs by reason of
their almost imperceptible diminutiveness,
and difficult also to eradicate the moth by
reason of its secretive habits. A benzine
spray is sure death, but there are many
objections to its use, and danger from its
inhammable character; still if the ordinary
