Wheat in Spring.

If the wheat does not look well after
spring opens apply 100 pounds of nj
trate of soda per acre, and the effect
will be noticed Immediately. Nitrate
of soda always gives good results on
wheat If applied in the spring. and
many crops have been saved by its use.
The cost of the nitrate should not ex-
coed $3.50 per acre, and the increase of
straw and grain will not only pay for
its use, but leave profit as we'll
should the frost throw some OF the
wheat plants up use the roller as soon
as It can be done.

Reducing Sod Land.

Sod land that was plowed last fall
will cause considerable trouble this
spring if it is not properly turned over
that is, if the sod was not completely
inverted. 1t should be plowed again
in the spring and then worked well
with a disc harrow. The disc harrow
should be used again just before corn
is planted. Unless the grass has been
destroyed there will be sufficient
growth on some fields to injure the
young corn. The best mode of reduc-
ing sod land is to plow the land in July
and seed it to Hungarian grass, which
will kill out the natural grass. The
field can then be plowed in October, or
sooner, if preferred.

when to Spread Manure.

All the manure that is being leached
every time it rains or the snow melts
is greatly deteriorating, until by spring,
when it is to be hauled out and spread,
it will have about half or two-thirds its
proper value as fertilizer. The most
valuable constituent of it, the nitrogen,
is the part which is being most largely
wasted. Authorities agree that manure
is best conserved and most profitab BILE
to the land when hauled out immedi-
ately. If 1t is very strawy and contains
but little excrement, it should be COM
posted, but then it will not do so much
teaching. Farm Journal

The Manila Pig.

One of the curious sights to an Amer
lean visiting the Chinese and native
quarters is the ever present pig, but, as
pigs are not allowed at large, they have
an ingenious method Of tying the pigs
by the ears. They cut a small hole
through the pigs ear, one-half to an
inch in diameter. Through this hole
they insert a rope, with large knot
on one end. This rope securely con-
fines the pigs liberty about the prem
ises. The same sights are seen often on
the native boats, and even on the swell
steam launches plying on Manila Bay.
Transporting pigs through the streets
Of Manila always attracts a crowd, al
though the sight is common. The legs
of the pig are tied together securely,
and the pig is then suspended on long
pole resting on the shoulders of native
carriers. The pig, with his legs up and
head down, makes about as much noise.

School Lunches that Nourish.

The subject of luncheons for the lit
tie ones attending school is not gener-.
ally given the thought and care it de-
serves. In putting up the lunch aim
at variety. Use more fruit and less
meat, is good rule for most lunches,
especially for the children. The fol-
lowing, according to Good Housekeep-
ing, is an arrangement for one week:
Monday-Cold tongue, patty cakes,
bread and butter, fresh fruit.
Tuesday = Cheese sandwich, cake,
custard, bread and butter.
Wednesday-Eg sandwich, canned.
fruit, waters, tea cakes.
Thursday-Meat sandwich, buttered
crackers, graham bread, fruit.
Friday-Sliced meat, bread and but
ter, pickles. cookies, custard.
TO each of the above add a small
flask of milk.

Furnish the Kitchen.

1t is a mistake to lavish money OH
drawing rooms and sacrifice the
kitchen.
Kitchen utensils are of the first i'm
portance. The cook can not do her
work well without the proper tools aud
proper environment.
A kitchen outfit costs little. New oil
cloth for the floor, table and sink IS
cheap and adds UNNECESSARILY to the
contentment Of the maid.
An attractive kitchen bespeaks the
good housekeeper. 1t is easier to CON
vince the servants of the desirabilitX
of keeping it clean.
Neat tin and wooden boxes with Ia
bells are delightful acquisition to the
kitchen closets and much more pleas
ant to handle than paper bags.
Paper with pinked edges for shelves
will work wonders for the general eff
feet and, growing plant or two gives
an air of luxury which surprises those
who have never tried it.

this way. The same kind of supports
are also exceedingly useful for put

protection until they are big enough

are several methods, more or less COM
pick, for the purpose. but the following
will be found simple and eficacious:
''Take spoonful of alum and two of
saltpeter; pulverize and mix we'll to-
gether, then sprinkle the powder on the
flesh side of the skin, and lay the two
flesh sides together, leaving the wool
outside. Then fold up the skin as tight
as you can and hang it in dry place.
In two or three days, or as soon as it
is dry, take it down and scrape it with
a blunt knife, till clean and supple.
This completes the process, and makes
you a most excellent saddle cover. If
when you kill your mutton, you treat
the skins this way, you can get more
for them from the saddler than you
can get for the wool and skin separate
ly disposed otherwise. Other skins
which you desire to cure with the fur
or hair on may be treated in the same
way.''-Journal of Agriculture.

Profitable Skill.

If the dairyman is a skillful farmer,
he can so manage his COWS that they
become fresh in August or September.
Then he can give the calves raised by
hand, Of course) a good start with new
milk, and in week or two after the
COWS come fresh he can begin to make
butter-that is to say, when he cannot
make it more profitable than to sell
milk. If he can sell milk at fair prices,
he saves labor and time, and that is
money. Dairy products in the United
States bring more money, according to
verified statistics, than raising cereals,
including corn and other grains to feed
cattle and swiI@. Only the product of
the domestic hen brings more cash
than dairying.-S st. Louis Republic.

Raising Cotton.

A cotton grower tells about his sue
cess this year. When he was laying by,
or giving the crop the last cultivation,
he drilled peas between rows on part
of his field. The peas grew and made
a fine crop. Instead of injuring the
cotton, the part where the peas were
planted was much better crop; and
now to crown the success with his pea
crop experiment he is fattening his
Poland China pigs on the peas in his
cotton field. His land is, Of course,
much improved for the next crop, for
there is no better improver for land
than field peas. No grain Is better
than half-ripe peas for hogs. Now if
a 50O-pound bale of cotton, worth $50,
is raised per acre and piges fattened
on the same ground and the land i'm
proved, is not this a plan to make cot
ton raising profitable Farmers Voice.

There are about ~ 900 Cherokees in
