The demand for the best vegetables
during winter is developing an industry
of large dimensions in this section.
Not SO long ago it seemed that the
influx of southern grown vegetables
would kill the industry. No doubt it
did then, and yet does to some extent,
seriously injurc the prospects of local
growers for either of the great centers
of distribution-New York, Boston or
Philadelphia-bu this more particular
ly applies to the growers of low grade
stock according to AmericansGarden-
ing, which states that the demand for
superior grades of vegetables is as good
to the local growers as ever and possibly
moro SO than of recent years. Better
still, demand is springing up for such
produce in smaller cities and towns. In
fact, all along the line there is an awak-
ened interest and demand.

Totato Fertilizers.

Fertilizers ON potatoes have been the
subject of exhaustive experiment at the

been the controlling element in increas-

cordingtoThe New England Homestead,
i'll many OF the southern, middle and
eastern states potash seems TO be the
mora necessary element In the Ohio
test the lowest cost per hushal of in

per acre was with 1, 100 pounds per acre
of complete fertilizer containing nitro

BLEEDING 10 DEATH.

Time was when doctors resoIJed to
bleeding and cupping as cure for all
diseases. They we're correct IN supposing
that in disease the blood is impure but
they were not correct in surprising that to
let out the blood would remove the
disease, as that method would only cure
the disease at the expense Of life.
We now know that the best way is to
purify the blood, and so enable the blood
TO do lis work as intended by nature. The
mineral water, Ypsllanti Specific, is the
greatest blood purifier known, It's natures
own true remedy and should be in every
house. If your dealer does not supply you
with this water, write to the YPsILANTI
SPECIFIC Co.. at ro4 BROAD ST Boston,
and they will see that you are supplied.

Here is what a successful York state
specialist says in The New England
Homestead: Onion growing may be di-
vided into culture i'll the kitchen gar.
den, the market garden and ON the farm.
In the market garden the first thing I'M.
der consideration is the soil That best
suited for the onion is u dry, sandy
loan, not wet or soggy, for if it is you
will have nothing but solutions at the
end of the season. Take a piece of land
that has had early potatoes, and as soon
as these are dug haul on plenty of well
rottcd barnyard manure; spread evenly.
Plow, not too deep but just deep enough
to cover the manure. Then SOW rye on
it at the rate of six bushels per acre.
Don't be afraid of sowing your rye toe
early in the fail. Don't pillow too early
in the spring, but give the rye chance
to start. BY blowing it again in the
spring you get all your manure on tap,
just where you want it for onions. The
roots of onions are all near the surface
