the subject how best to feed them?
We Southernes have much to learn

but few pastures worthy Of the name.
while with Bermuda we can have as
fine as anywhere In the world. We

thlckly sodded with it that the hoof Of

beets, Our experience with beets has
not been satisfactory, but we can raise

saws the Philadelphia Inquirer. Hair

when arranging the hair, dip the dress

In climate where there is little moist

to dampen the locks frequently.
The hair is nourshed as much by

are excellent to protect them. These

Whenever there is lack OF potash
in the soil aud of lime, as shO-'n by q
chemical analysis, it is well to apply
these ingredients now on the surface
SO the rains may wash them into the
soil Anywhere from 200 TO 800 pounds
of the potash and from 800 to 1000
pounds of the lime per acre might be
considered fair dressing and with
thrifty plants good results may most
surely be expected. Soils rich in pot

and abundance of water during season
when the fruit is growing and matur-
