tight around the stick b and drive the
other end of stick firmly at c. The
cord now appears as the dotted line, and
it will have been shifted for the second
row without loss of time or unneces-
sary walking. You are always working
toward the one stick and away from the
two sticks. In this way you can plant
an. indefinite number of rows and onlv
cross the ground without planting or
marking when you set the line and
when you reel it up.-Orange Judd

ALL AROUND THE FARM.

In sandy soil deep planting is best
for potatoes.
If the hay is dusty, dampen it for
feeding to horses.
Pull the collars away from the horses
shoulders while they are resting.
Ashes may be considered as special
fertilizer for potatoes, improving the
yield and quality.
Generally with flower seed. large or
coarse seed should be planted much
deeper than fine seed.
| The most successful work of the farm
is done according to tn e season, rather
than by any other set rule.
1t will be an exceptional case when
some soiling crop cannot be used to a
good advantage during the summer.
Early cultivation of corn and pota-
toes means cultivating them before
they are up. 1t is an easy way to kill
weeds, too.
When the cabbage, toma toes or sweet
potato plants have grown long and
splndling set them deeper into the
soil; down to the first leaf is usually a
good plan. IT,.
= If the full number of stock is kent
that the pastures will carry during the
best part of the growing season, some
soiling crop must be grown to help
out when the pastures fail.
One advantage with all farm prod
ucts and stocks is that if prices fall it
is certain that the lower quality drops
first and most, and usually is most diff
ficult to sell. There is always a sale
for the products of a better quality

This Is n Peculiar World

saving to build house, and another

all the money be can make in taking
girl to the theater and sending her
flowers, with the hope of making her
his wife, while his neighbor is spending
what gold he has in getting a divorce.
One man escapes all the diseases that
flesh is heir to and gets killed on the

Burn All Diseased Plants.

Diseased plants should never be add
ed to the manure heap, as they con-
taminate the whole mass. 1t is possible
to spread plant diseases over the en-
tire farm through the agency of ma
nure, and no farm will get rid of any
disease that attacks. plants until all
refuse is burnt. Onion smut, potato
scab and sweet potato rot are spread
when the tops are thrown on the ma
nure. Every tree or plant that is
brought on the farm from other places
becomes medium for communicating
disease and should be carefully exam
ined on arrival, as the nurseryman may
not be aware of the fact that plant
is not healthy. 1t is cheaper, to keep
disease away than to combat it after it
becomes established. = -.igE1 -.
