I'm Case of Burns.

Burns may be ordinary. but they
lose none Of their smart because OF
the ease with which they are ac-
Quired. Some persons seem 10 have
perfect genius for getting burned. II
they strike a match. 1t breaks and
scorches them, while visit TO the
kitchen ends In a burn from the oven
or a scald from hot water or steam
OF course the right thing TO do with a
burn is TO get IL away from all contact
with the air and to do this with all
possible haste. The necessary articles
for the treatment should be on hand,
and they are baking soda-not wash
ing soda, nOtice-fresh fat OF some
sort and several thicknesses OF cotton
cloth. II is an excellent plan TO have
n bottle of carron oil ready for such
emergencies. Carron oil Is made by
shaking together equal parts OF lin
seed oil and llmewater Ii the SKIN
Is broken over the burn, use the oil
without the soda. Otherwise moisten
the soda with olive oil or sweet oil or
even lard or cold cream and apply 1t.
Over this wrap the cloth. Cotton bat
ting Is often used for covering the
burn and keeping out the air, but 1t Is
not to be recommended. 1t Is not a
good plan to use -four. busting 1t over
a burn, for It frequently hardens and
Is OF little comfort. One Of the sim
plest measures for q superficial burn
is to apply the white Of an egg with n
soft piece of old muslin, adding more
as Il dries.

as the florists root slips from his gera'

such is the case. They root quickly
and make good. strong plants too. Those
who train their tomatoes TO grow up
right by tying to stakes have to cut
away many side branches. which they
can utilize in this way, and they VIII
often come into bearing as quickly as
the main stalk. Also those who buy
plants can make a half dozen from one.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
r.r,n,an,. win Potato seed.

Experiments with Potato Seed.
Some interesting and valuable ex-
periments were made last season by
the Ontario experiment union In tine
and method OF planting potatoes.
Fifty-three practical farmers reported
ON the effects of planting directly after
cutting the seed and planting five days
after cutting 1t. BY the first method a
LITTLE over 175 bushels to the acre were
obtained, by the second. 1914 bushels.
II was noted on one farm that there
was difference of % per cent In yield
and quality of a few rows In the Held.
The only way in which the difference
could be accounted for was the fact
that some of the potato seed had been
exposed in the rows to the sun FOR Il
few hours before covering. The effect
of coating the seed with plaster was
also tested. The coated seed gave an
average of 1917 bushels, the uncoateu
165 bushels. and the product OF the
coated seed was considerably better In
oualitv. The work Of coating the seeu
can be done very quickly, either by
throwing the seed into the plaster or
shrinking the plaster over the seeu
with n shovel and mixing ii. Probably
the great advantage Of the plaster Is
In preventing the seed from drying out
too quickly.

Locating the Garden.

The location should not be too re-
mote from the farmhouse and should.
If possible, be where the farmer passes
it almost daily as he goes to or returns
from other parts Of the farm. says a
correspondent in American Agricultur-
list. once knew an old gentlemen
who asserted that nothing made pigs
grow like standing by the pen and
watching them. His idea was that the
pigs saw you took ~ interest in them
and were encouraged to do their best.
He probably did not count the nubbins
Of corn and handfuls Of apples that
went along TO amuse the pigs while he
watched them. A garden. like the pigs,
thrives by being noticed.
