Applying Fertilizers.


The farmer who waits for spring to ap-
pear before he begins his years work will
find himself unable TO accomplish as much
as he intended when the busy season ar
rives. The first operation is preparing the
ground by plowing. Nothing can be done
as long as the frost keeps the earth i'm
hard condition, but an open winter Offers
many favorable opportunities for plowing.
Where the ground is level, and not SUBJ
ject TO ''washings'' from rains, the manure
can be hauled out and spread over the
surface. when it will be rendered fine by
frost When the plow comes along and
turns the manure under, 1t will be more
completely decompcsed by the time the
corn is to be planted. The early plowing
also turns up the insects, which are more
easily destroyed by cold and warm weather
than by cold only.
Wheat is often thrown UP when the sea-
son varies, and unless the plants ara
pressed back into the soil with the roller,
some of the plants may be injured. Wheat,
however rarely fails if il makes a good
start in the fall. where the land is Suita-
BILE The most important matter is TO give
it a better send-off in the spring This
is done by narrowing the field with
a smoothing harrow. which will not pull
up the plants but loosen the surface soil.
AS soon as the season opens this should
be done, and an application of fifty or one
hundred pounds of nitrate or soda per
acre given. which Will make a marked
difference in the growth of the plants as
soon as the ground begins TO become warm.
Manures serve best on corn land, but the
garden should also receive large share.
For wheat, oats and rye scIupIe fertilizers
are better than manure in the spring.
Early i'm the season is an excellent time
to apply lime, so as to permit the frequent
rains to carry it down. No crops respond
so we'll TO lime as clover and pasture
grasses The lime acts chemically on the
soil, thus Iberating plant food and adding
warmth. Potash. nitrate OF soda and
superphosphates are superior 10 lime, but
the low cost of the latter should induce its
use. The grass crop is the most important
one on dairy farms, and should be given
an applica ton of mixed fertilizers every
spring. but the effect Of the fertilizers will
be more noticeable if they are applied
ble such as plaster, and If the work is
done before the busy season comes, IL viii
be time saved. Rye is the earliest crop on
the farm. and the fertilizer for IL can hard
ly be applied too soon, but much depends
on the land. There is one point in favor
Of lime on grass land, which is, that any
expense in it's is sure TO be returned
sooner or later, as IL is necessary in
gredient in the food Of all plants.

Teach the Girls to Sew.

Needlework will soon be a 'lost art"
With each succeeding, generation girls are
being taught less and less the beauty of
making themselves proficient in sewing.
Not only Is this SO with the daughters of
wealthy mothers but those of the middle
class, The girls who should make the moth
ers to whom this country must look for
her bravest and best sons and for her best
endowed daughters, are being allowed to
grow up with the very slightest knowledge
or with none at ALL of this womanly accom-
plishment. In the good old times good at
least in this respecD little girls sat by their
mothers side patiently acquiring the mys-
teries of hemming and telling. and even
the finer arts of hemstitching and en-
who go to learn dressmaking have to be
taught the very rUdments OF sewing, and
Ike all rudiments acquired late in life. they
are imperfectly learned. and for this reason
much unsatisfactory work is sent home
from the best dressmakers, who necessarily
intrust great part of the sewing to their
apprentices.
among those who advertise as seamstressas
is appalling. A very busy, woman. with the
bee of philanthropy. in her bonnet, once
said to herself, why should l darn and
patch and mend when there are so many
the money to pay for this work with my
pen" So she watched advertisements until
she found a woman who needed the work
The result was that it took her longer to
show this woman how she wanted the work
self not to speak of the fact that when il
was done it was not half done. Repeated
efforts to find a woman who understo od
her business only resulted in failure.
Among the children OF the very poor, one
does not look for training of this kind, and
yet this is a matter hard TO understand. for
the very poor generally peasants from
England, Ireland, France or Germany, and
in each of these countries the poorest peas

comes comparatively expert with her
needle, often more so than our half-groWn
girls. She sews in the open air prattling
as she works. and happy with sense of
her usefulness. Hundreds of American
children make the lives of their parents
burden with the plea for something to
do" Children are naturally active, and
any well-constituted child would rather
spend a portion of its time in doing some
thing useful. Mere pleasure eXhausts them

wealthy New York lady. one who counts
her wealth by millions. has had each of
her two daughters take a course in a
school of manual training. one becoming

the work of her own fair fingers, are the
