PHOSPHATE FOR POTATOES.

Potash rather than phosphate would
seem to be indicated as fertilizer by
analysis of the potato. Yet many far
mers have been very successful apply
ing little phosphate in each hill, not
only increasing the yield, but growing
potatoes free from scab. On heavy
soil the application of superphosphate
may make more potash available. 1t
always contains an excess of sulphuric
acid which acts on the soil and fits its
potash for use. This same sulphuric
acid also probably destroys some of
the fungus which causes the scab. But
the germicide corrosive subimate used
as a weak dilution for the seed is more
effective in preventing scab than any
other application. The phosphate will
need to be literally supplemented with
potash for potato crops grown on
sandy soil, and some of the potash
should always be used on heavy soils,
as what they contain is often not in
available form to be used as plant food.

mop, always keep one on hand, and use
some good washing powder in the hot
waller; it softens it, besides cleaning the
dishes in half the time. with less washing.
You need not put your hands into the water
at all.
Then, in the matter of sweeping be sure
to keep pair of loose gloves on hand, pair
of chamois SKINS ones is best. The same in
busting, wear gloves. In cooking you can
protect them greatly by having stove filters.

as follows:
Bear in mind that the more nearly ripe
the pineapple, the better it is for any use.
This can be tested by pulling one of the tuft
of green leaves at the top. If it gives way
readily, the fruit is ripe; otherwise better
lay it aside for few days.
The Germans make delightful pineapple

What Shall We Learn2

Our girls may find the following advice
helpful in choosing a means of livelihood
1t is in answer to question asked by a
up, typesetting or type writing and stenog-
raphy The advisor says:
There isn't much difference in the money
which she would earn by either choice.
Good compositors under favorable conoi-
tons may earn from SO to $12 week. The
work is done by the piece and the
swlftest one makes the most money The
sum which may be earned is, however, re-
duced by various conditions. 10 printing
office there is often more help than is neces-
sary to be prepared tor emergencies. The
composition who might earn SIP by working
busily and making long days may fire.
quenly he able to earn but So. There is
some mOnotony about typesetting though
one is always setting netting new, and it
isn't as clearly an employment as some
others, but aprons and cuffs and soap and
water will help over that difficulty. The
multiplicity Of typesetting machinery is
rendering the supply more than the de
having gained the limit of ones speed, there
is no further ambition to be realized.
On the other hand tvpewriteIs have null
tplied SO that the competition is intense.
The pay varies from Sc to $12 with rare ex-
options OF SIS or above. The average is
about SO or $40.
Those who get more are valued for the
knowledge which they have acquired of
something Sc which renders them valua-
bic in their position. The lawyers stenog
rapher learns something of legal phrases
and terms; she becomes worth more after
awhile because she has this requirement
than for her mere mechanical knowledge OF
shorthand or Of The Typewriter keys; the
business man often values his slenOgrapher
for her knowledge of his affairs. If the cor
respondent can learn typesetting in some
local newspaper office, she eau probably
secure and hold place there and will find
it a less wearing occupation than almost
anything she could choose. l have known
two tired out school teachers who took up
pesetling and found it pleasant way of
earning living. They went into the office
of newspaper in a country town where
living expenses were not as large as in the
city.
IF one is in need of ready money, type
setting will bring returns sooner as. after
few weeks Of time, wages are received in
proportion to the speed in composition.
To learn stenography requires a years time
and tuition the same as at any business
college. The practice mrst be kept up as
in piano playing, and the wear and tear
on the nervous system is more than
in typesetting although not so great as in
teaching, nor as wearing physically as many
other occupations.
