july in the Garden.

The farmer who has kept the garden
free from weeds up to the first of July
must not think his garden work has
ended. 1t usually happens on the farm
that the weeds now take il start and the
garden becomes quickly overrun. The
reason for rapid growth is that the more
thorough the previous cultivation. the
greater will be the amount of nitrates set
free in the soil, especially during hot
weather. 1t is really astonishing how
fast weeds will grow at this season in
rich soil, sue h as the garden ought always
to afford.-American Cultivator

In purchasing paris green for poisoning

The entire unreliability of much of the
