y. In tRe case OF corn tn
potash appears to be particN90
prominent. -
10. For a coed crop of>eorn the fer
tilizer used should supply 100 to 125
pounds of actual potash per acre; 200
to $50 pounds of muriate of potast, or
one ton fifty bushels) of good wood
ashes will do this. i
II. With ordinary farm or stable
manure it will generally pay to use
some potash for corn; 125 to $50 pounds
of muriate of potash has given profita-
BILE results.
Il. The liberal. use of potash means
more clover in our fields, more
nitrogen taken from the stir. more
milk in the pail, Il richer manure heap,
and store-houses and barns full to
overfowing. 1t means also sod
which when turned will help every
other eros.
IL. For the potato crop the sulphate
appears Ito be much superior to the
muriate of potash, promoting both
weld and quality in much higher de.
gree; 800 to 400 pounds of high-grade
sulphate of patash furnishes enough
of this element.
For oats, rye and grass, nitrate oi
soda applied just as the growth begins
in spring has proved very beneficial;
300 to 400 pounds per acre should be
applied Prof. W. P. Brooks, Massa-
chusetts Agricultural College. :

Little Women and High Hooks.

The average height of woman is five
feet two inches, but rarely does one
find house in the city or country IN
which any attention is. paid to this fact
in arranging closets. The hooks are
placed six feet high from the floor, and
lucky for the housewife if it is not
more: and above that is placed a shelf
which is practically almost useless. No
woman cares to mount chair or table
every time she wishes to get her bon :
net or shawl, and the result is that
there is a series of boxes on the floor;
which, if handy, have to be removed
with every sweeping. Detroit Free
