LETTUCE GROWN IN A POT.

roots soon fill the pot and grow out into
the soil of the bench through the drain-
age hole in the bottom OF the pot. Be
ing thus buried in the soil the little pots
do not dry out as rapidly as they would
do were they exposed to the air.
The Il pot is removed from
the bench another may be set in its
place without waiting to clear the
bench, or any portion OF it, Of the rest
of the lettuce. The method thus proves
economical, both of time and space.
Grocers and other retail dealers readi-
ly appreciate the advantage of having
lettuce grown in this way. 1t permits
them to keep the lettuce on hand for q
considerable length of time and still
present it to their customers crisp,
fresh and attractive, instead of wilted
and unattractive.
When the plant is ready for market
il may be knocked out of the pot and
the ball of earth and roots undisturbed
may be wrapped sungly in old paper.
The earth will thus keep moist for a
long time and furnish moisture to the
plants through the roots which are i'm
bedded in it. Local customers may be
supplied with lettuce in the pots, and
the pots returned after the plants are
taken from them.
While the subject of forcing is thus
under consideration, a few hints on the
care of a crop may not be amiss. a.
The temperature should be kept down
TO from so to 60 degrees during the day
and from As to so degrees during the
night. Plant lice become more trouble
some in a high temperature. (2.) As
much ventilation should be given as
possible, but still keep the temperature
within the range mentioned. a. So
far as possible water only on bright,
sunny days, preferably early in the
day.
The varieties of cabbage lettuce are
Big Boston, Salamander, Drumhead,
Henderson's New York (curled), Golden
Ball dwarf, Golden Queen dwarf.
The variety of loose heads are Grand
Rapids (curled), Hanson (curled), New
Iceberg (curled), Prize Head (curled).

Gravity Crenmfnr fin Kansas.

Gravity Dreaming in the private dairy
.oses more fat than most farmers dream
of. If ice is used at once after milking
to reduce the water round the cans to
about 40 degreesFahrenheit the fat will
rise, leaving not more than oue-fifth of
one per cent, and if the water is at 60
degrees or above n per cent. or mors
will be left in the skim milk. This one
CT 1Icre per cent. is a third or a half of
all the fat in the milk. This suggests
the putting up of ice by the private
dairyman. The climate of Kansas pro-
vides for this and is a greater boon than
many imagine.

4 MethOd of Forcing That Hos Been
Practiced with Success.
The method of forcing lettuce in pots
may be of interest to those who grow
lettuce under glass either in the anna.
teur way or as a commercial product.
The preparation of soil for lettuce
should not be too heavy. 1t should be
composed of three parts by measure
Of loan. sne Of MANURE and one of sand.

by 10 inches and three inches deep. or
on the bench. Benches are six inches
deep, the lower three inches being
filed with well-rotted manure. and the
upper three inches with potted soil pre-
pared as described above.
When the plants are about two inches
high they are transplanted to two-inch
pots. The benches are filed with soil,
In which the pots containing the let
tuce are plunged. so hat the tops of the
pots are covered with about half an
inch of soil. A little drainage material
Is put in the bottom of each pot. The
plants are usually set on the benches
about ten inches apart each way. The

been neglected and are not too old. In
1 majority of cases feeble growing and
unhealthy trees are as a rule the re-
suit of starvation, bad soil or unfavor-
able conditions. In many cases remed-
ial treatment will convert into thrifty,
vigorous trees.
One of the surest signs of debility in
a tree is the pushing cut of adventi-
tious growths from the trun.s Inc

proper remedy.
