Last season did not known exactly
how to use ashes, AMI proceeded to ex-
pertinent with various garden crops on
a sandy soil, clay bottom, southeast
slope. On one strip I spread broad
cast unleached hardwood ashes at tne
rate of about FIVE pecks per square
rod. or some 200 bushels per acre. ana
ON another strip half that amount.
Above and below these strips put
none at all. In this field In rows nortn
and south and crosswise the STRIPS l
planted potatoes, sweet corn sugar
beets, watermelons, muskmeions' To-
matoes and sunflowers. Eacn strip
was treated in exactly the same way
in every respect except for the ashes'
which were put on early in May.
The corn, potatoes and melons were
all much better where the ashes vere
applied. but not much difference was
noted between results of the large anu
the small amounts. The sugar peets
grew the same size on both strips OF
ashes, but where none was put on the
beets were only half as large, although
richer in sugar.
With tomatoes, best results were op-
tanned on the strip where the smaller
amount of ashes was applied. 100

The memoirs of Jules Massenet bring
I'D an incident of his courtship told by
Couuelin. 1t seems that when Liszt.
Sgambati and Massenet were studying
together in Rome they all became fas-
cinated with the daughter of an aristo-
cratic Frenchman. The trio spent
their spare time composing and play
ing themes to the object of their affec-
tions. One evening the young woman
showed marked favor to Massenet, and
he proposed to her, after having asked
her fathers consent. He followed her
to Paris in a few days, where he was
accepted by her and the marriage soon
took place. One day Massenet said to
his bride before a party of friends:
my dear, do you remember the day
you first showed me that you preferred
me to Sgambati and Liszt?" Yes"
well, do you know, besides proving to
me that you loved me. it also gave me
great Joy to know that you believed
played so well, even excelling the
others?" "Oh, but it wasn't that" an
swered his wife quickly. 1T was be-
cause you played SO badly that my love
went out to YOU" 1t is said that thu
great composer never referred to thu

Lawnmaking is not SO difficult as
most persons seem to think. You must
begin right If you would attain satis-
factory degree of success. The first
thing to do is to grade the ground
evenly. Most persons prefer lawn
that slopes away from the house to
road in an almost imperceptible incline
Of surface. Such a lawn is easier to
make than a level one, because any
little departure from a perfectly even
surface will be far less noticeable. To
secure the necessary slope, earth will
have to be filled in near the house If
the lot is a comparatively level one.
Wherever there has been an excava-
ton made for the house walls or a
cellar, there will generally be enough
earth near the house to furnish all
the filling needed in making the re-
quired slope. This soil, which Is al
most always hard, should be worked
over until it is as fine and mellow as
possible, for a good lawn cannot be
made from a soil that Is coarse and
lumpy.
If the soil is not rich, 1t should bt
made so. I would advise the use OF
bonemeal in liberal quantity in prefer
ence to barnyard fertilizer, because i
never introduces the seeds Of weeds in
| to the lawn, as manure from stables
| is very sure to do. Coarse bonemeal
in the proportion of half pound t
each square yard, will give a soil OF or
binary quality strength enough to pro
duce an excellent growth Of grass

Feed for Young Chickens

1t is recommended that the following
rules be observed in feeding young
chickens: Give no food at all for thirty
six hours, as they need none, nature
providing in that respect. Then give
rolled oats and millet seed for three
days. scattering it on clean board.
and then mix cornmeal, sifted ground
oats, bran, and middlings, equal parts.
adding little salt and bread soda, and
bake as a cake, feeding it three times a
day, giving a little millet seed between
meals. When the chicks are two weeks
old add gill of linseed meal and half
a pound of ground meat to every four
pounds of the dry mixture. Never
leave food before them except millet
seed. which should be scattered in lit
ter to induce them to scratch

Keep Pigs Growing

There is an impression among farm
ers that hogs in summer ut pasture
can get enough with the swill from the
house and what they can get In the
fields. This was all right so long as
skinned milk, one of the best FOODS
for growth, was part of the swill' ana
uneaten refuse from the table was also
thrown in. But in many places the
SKINNED milk is now sold in some
form. while a better use for table re-
fuse is found in giving it to the poui-
try. So the pig is starved in summer
which is the time he ought to grow
the fattest, and is the poorest prepara-
ton for the heavy corn feeding that De.
gins in September and continues until
the pig is turned over to the butcher

sueees.,ul Creamery Practice

success in creamery butter making
depends upon the business metnoos oo-
served both in the manufacture OF the
product and of disposing OF 1t wnen
made. and upon the quality OF the
herds which supply the milk anu
cream. To make fine creamery Dut'er
TODAY all of the conditions ana quar-
it,es above must be had and used In
telligently. The farmers VINO VIII ho'
co-operate with the creamery man
ayers by supplying good cream anu
milk can kill the business in q snort
time. Many a creamery has Simply
been crowded out Of localities by tne
action of the farmers who promised ~
supply a certain grade OF milk anu
cream. but who failed to live up 10
their agreements. 1t Is not s"aii
matter to invest capital In a large
creamery and then find that 1t IS I'M
possible to secure the right quaiity Q,
raw material. So obtuse do we nhu
some dairymen in this respect that
thew kill their own interests when
they have money invested In tne
creamery in cooperation with others.
They refuse to raise the standaro VI
their herd, but trust all along tnat tne
others will supply fine cream whlie
| they continue to send the indlneren.
material that they have always raised.
Creameries operated by farmers III
many instances produce only a tniro-
rate quality of butter simply on TINS
account. and others through the lack
of the right sort Of a manager.
Strict methods must be adopted III
the creamery and lived up to until the
end. Lack Of this has caused losses
amounting to thousands of dollars 10
farmers. The best cows will return
their highest profits when their cream
and milk Is taken to hgn-ciass

material be maintained, and let new
blood IL necessary be introduced OTTER
To make the herd without superlors
Milk and cream tests are as essentia
as ANYTHING. Some farmers will main
tain that their herd is as fine as any
