Potash is the mineral that is most needed
for the potato crop. But it is much better
distributed as a top dressing over the whole
surface than applied with the seed potatoes
in the hill The potato roots very early
in their growth fill the soil between the
rows. When mineral manures are applied
them thoroughly with the soil, they may
eat into the cut seed and effectually destroy
the germ. When used broadcast on the
surface there is no danger of this.

is A Wor1am Old.

This query on my mirror hung:
when is woman old ~
1t clings to me and long has c'ung,
The answer must be tod
All, some are old before half way,
And some are never old,
For these but laugh life's cares away,
While those both fret and scold.
And yet it is no easy task,
However we'll controlled,
To answer one if she should ask,
"When is a woman old ~
The graceful ones are still young,
And those alone are old
Who try to make themselves look young
When age has taken hold.
The oldest ones of all the old
Are those who would look young,
For they will always fret and scold
When ages sign is hung.
The old in years who live among
Those younger in their hearts,
Will find themselves remaining young
Long after youth departs.
AS long as women cling to youth
And disregard their age
They never can be old, forsooth
Their youth fills up the page
Yes, some are old before their time
Old age usurps their youth
And some are young beyond their prime
Unless they hide the TRUTH

Farmers waste large share of the ferti-
lizer used on the farm by purchasing kinds
that are not necessary to be brought on the
farm. Phosphates are cheaper than nitrates
and the farmer will, as a rule select that
which be considers the cheaper although
his farm may not require phosphates and
would be benefited by nitrates. Potash is
also greatly overlooked by farmers, and is
a substance that is lacking more frequently
than is known. Wood ashes or potash

Common salts, will give good results on

There are small matters, or minor details
connected with dairying which attract no
attention The manner in which COW is
MIXED may influence her yield. At the
Wisconsis Experiment Station milking one
teat at time and weighing the milk
drawn from each teat was tested, and the
order in which the teats were MIXED was
changed at each milking until each teat
had its turn of being MIXED first and last.
1t was found that the teat that was MIXED
last gave less milk than the others. The
claim is that the gland had been excited to
action and the milking delayed, which gave
the result as mentioned.
