Make the seed bed fine and friable
three or four inches deep, advises
American Agriculturist. Make the bed
six feet wild and as long as required.
Sow one tablespoonful of seed to the
square rod. More seed makes spindling
plants. To insure even seeding mix the
seed with corn or cottonseed meal, and
as it is sown over the bed more per-
feet sowing may be obtained on ac-
count Of its color. After sowing run a
heavy hand roller over the bed or plank
1t. Firming the soil is essential to sue
cess, as a compact surface retains mo
ture. Apply the following once week
until plants thoroughly cover the soil:
Three bushels of poultry droppin :
placed In large barrel and filled wi a
soft water After weeks fermenta-
ton the liquid is ready to dilute with
warm water in proportion of one of
liquid to ten of water This will stimu-
late the plants without delaying good
healthy development.

Money In Potatoes.

Small or IS often prove a blessing
to the few expert growers, although a
bad thing for the general run of farm
ers, remarks an American Cultivator
writer. A full crop of potatoes when
prices are high, as they have been this
year, will net higher profits per acre
than any other crop that we can grow,
and even a three-quarters crop shou
yield profit sufficient to pay b
wages. Therefore we find plenty
growers not ut all discouraged over the
past seasons results. On the contrary,
they are more convinced than ever that
there Is money in potatoes, but more
especially in intensive. modern culture.
One such season in the past is enough
to convince many of this. A high yield
of excellent market potatoes can be ac-
complished only through intensive cul-
ture in good seasons, but when the
weather, seed and insects are all
against the crop one is then particular
~ thankful that nothing has been left
undOne to get the best from the soil.

Seeding with Clover.

When clover is sown early in the
spring on the crop of wheat or other
winter grain, it may cost nothing but
the price of the seed, which is not
much, whether ten or fifteen pounds is
used to the acre, and the labor of SOW
ing, yet we would prefer to increase its
cost by going over the wheat with a
light or smoothing harrow before SOW
ing the clover seed, says American Gull
tivator. This will benefit wheat or rye
II done at the right time, when the
ground is not wet enough to cause the
harrow to sink too deep and uproot the
plants, This makes "A good seed bed for
the clover. and in day or two after
the first rain the little plants will be
sending thelr roots down into the soil.

in hole, so that when b d is vertical
the string hangs very near the surface

the angles at d are true right angles,
The dimensions of the triangle may
be about as follows: A c, II feet long;

scale Of feet marked off on A c..
In marking on the board B D the
line in which the plumb line will hang
when A C Is exactly horizontal consid-
cradle care is required. Two pegs are
driven into the ground as far apart as
A and G for these points to rest on.
The highest one Is driven into the
ground until the plumb line follows
about the center line of the board b ID.
Having marked this position Of the
plumb line the triangle is reversed SO
that the end B rests on the peg where
before we had the end c, and vie
versa. Should the plumb line make p
angle with the first line marked on tie
board, then the correct position will Q
exactly in the middle between these
two lines. This point should be per-
manently marked on the board b
In using the triangle when the plumb
line passes through this point the base
of the triangle will be level.

In all kinds of atmosphere the breath
should only be inhaled through the nose.
An occasional breath of extra pure air
through the mouth may be good; but in
cars and 10 most Offices and rooms nose
breathing is essential. A second rule is,
since so much time is spent in cars and
offices and rooms 10 earning livelihood,
and since these places are overheated and
underventilated- heating and ventla-
ton being out of the control of most of
us-we must take in fresh air whenever
possible, in order that we may restore the
balance. says Chambers Journal. The
best times to do this will be early in the
morning. when the air is freshest and late
at night. when deep breathing will help
us to get sleep We may breathe cor
recily while we are waiting in a street.
and especially where streets meet. We
can soon form an automatic habit Of
breathing properly on such occasions.

Moss Helps the Drainage.

Before filing pot with soil it is ad-
vsable 70 place lay&'of sphagnum moss,
such as is used by florists to wrap about
the roots of their plants in shipping, over
whatever material is used for drainage.
This prevents the soil from washing down
and filling the crevices, thus interfering
with the free escape OF water. This moss
