It having been demonstrated that one
cause of the failure of alfalfa to do well
in many localities is the lack of that
bacterial life in the soil necessary to
the plants development, we incline to
the opinion that it would be good pol
icy to put the alfalfa on land which
had previously grown clover, these two
plants being relatives in the legume
family.

For some years an effort has been
made to secure corn with small cob
and con -equently small shank where
it was attached to the stalk, thus max

Introduction of the corn harvester
makes bad work with this kind of corn,
the ears being so easily knocked off by
the operation of the machine. New

HOW to Drighten Dlscolored Spoons

How to brighten DiscoIored spoons.
Silver spoons that have become dis

may be easily frightened by rubbing
with common salt. Coal gas and the

will cause silver to tarnish. One of the
best receptacles for silverware cutlery

The claim is made that the soil Of
North Dakota is SO well adapted to the
production of fax that this crop may
be grown continuously on the same

to doubt this story, for in every locality
where we have known fax to be grown
fax following fax has proved almost
invariably failure.

The government now has 100000
acres of the public lands set aside as
forest reserves. This is all right, and
the area should be doubled. What is
all wrong is allowing the sheep herders
of the west the range of these forest
reserves. for it is not possible for young
timber to grow and develop where the
sheep are allowed to run.

In the state of Ohio the crows have
learned the bad trick from their York
state brethren of digging up the sprout-
ing corn. An Ohio farmer adopted the
novel method of stretching twine on
poles at intervals across his field to pro-
tect his corn from the crows, the birds
for some reason being afraid to fly un-
der the strings.

The writer was well acquainted with
DIR. Sheldon Jackson, a home mission
ary who for years worked among the
native tribes of Alaska. 1t was largely
through his agency that the govern
ment was induced several years ago to
make an experimental shipment of rein
deer from Siberia to Alaska. This has
proved to be great success, these anil
mails very readily adapting themselves
to and thriving well under Alaskan con-
ditions. The small herd imported has
now grown to very large one. and the
reindeer bids fair to solve the problem
of internal transportation for that coun-
try.

LIQUID Manure.

One reason why liquid manure is so
much advocated is its genuine efficacy.
This is a good time to speak of the
matter for the reason that the bloom
ing season of pot hyacinths and other
bulbs is at hand, and these are much
benefited by frequent doses of liquid
manure. A convenient form to apply
it is to take a three inch f1owerpot
full of COW manure and mix it in a
large garden can of water. Dilute this
by the same amount of fresh water,
and apply twice a week An ounce
of nitrate Of soda dissolved in four
gallons of water is said to be a quick
and good liquid stimulant for bulbs.
In applying liquid to bulbs the time to
begin is when the pots are filed with
roots and aower spikes are visible.

The Christmas Trees of Maine.

The Christmas Trees of Maine.
Only few years ago the fir tree was
looked upon as rather a nuisance in
Maine, because it grew rank as bur-
docks, crowding out better growths,
and was of no earthly use save as it
might be considered as an ornament to
the landscape. Now the fir, no longer
despised, is a source of considerable
income to hundreds of Names rural
people and to the transportation COM
panies as well. for its graceful proper
tions and balsamic odor have become
known to the dwelIers in cities. and it
is regarded as the ideal tree whereon
to light the candles and display the
gifts of holiday time. The evergreen
harvests are usually purchased by men
who make business in winter of sup
plying the holiday green markets of
the large cities. although many farm
ers send their crops to market on their
own account

Japanese species, l. crenata, which
we have the pleasure of illustrating
herewith. This bush is about ten feet
in height and the same in diameter.
This species is perfectly hardy in any
situation about this city. The foliage
is not prickly, as in most other hollies.
1t much resembles the myrtle, Myrtus
communis, SO familiar to European
gardeners.
Our native hollies are hardy over
large portion of the country. What a
pity they do not possess the beautiful
green foliage of the English holly
Still they are hollies, and, though
their leaves are not as bright a green,
they present us with berries for Christ
mas, and we thus have our true holly
berries
Great disappointment comes to many
from not knowing that all hollies are
not fertile Some bear male flowers,
others female and still others perfect
ones. Those who plant seedlings run
the risk of getting nonfruiting kinds.
If grated plant cannot be obtained,
it is better to plant one that has al
ready borne berries.

For Easter or Spring FIOwering.
For the largest bulbs of L. harrisii
six inch pot is best. Medium bulbs
may be started in five inch pots, and
for small bulbs four inch pots will do.
In December the pots should be well
filled with working roots, and the
plants should be four inches to six
inches high. They should then be
shifted into their Towering pots, which
should be two sizes larger than those
in which they were started. Use good
soil, well mixed with one-third well
rotted COW manure After potting wa
ter well. Care must now be used in
watering. Do not give too much water
until the roots take hold of the new
soil. When the plants get to be sixteen
or eighteen inches high, they should be
staked. otherwise they will become
bent and unsightly. The plants will by
that time be in such condition that
they may be brought into bloom at the
will of the grower. If wanted to
bloom April 1, the flower, buds should
show by Feb. 10. To keep free from
insects syringe occasionally with to-
bacco extract or fumigate and water
with liquid manure.-F. McGregor.
