All economic plants show a prefer
ence for certain soil and climatic con-
ditiOns. and none is more exacting in
this regard than the cranberry. While
1t can be easily and successfully grown
on congenial soils. it cannot be made
to return paying crops under adverse
conditions.
The conditions necessary for sue
cess in cranberry culture are soils of a
peaty or alluvial nature, located at
high attitudes or in high latitudes, and
provided with an ample and easily
available water supply and an easily
accessible supply Of sand Repeated
failures have resulted from attempts
to establish cranberry plantations on
soils not congenial 20 the plant The
best Index to the fitness of the soil for
this crop is the occurrence of native
cranberry plants. Where the cram
berry is indigenous to the soil it is
safe to undertake the commercial cul-
tivation of the crop The commercial
cranberry bog or meadow should COM
bine as many as possible of the ele-
ments which characterize the natural
habitat of the cranberry, with all pos
sible appliances for controlling ad-
verse conditions. While the cranberry

is not water plant, it thrives best on
soils IN which the water level is with,
in few inches Of the surface of the
soil. II is desirable that the arrange
ments be such as to render it possible
to maintain constant water level
throughout the growing season, and
at the same time to hold this at the
depth Of eight or ten inches below the
surface, particularly during the first
three years Of the existence of the
plantation. The supply of water
should also be sufficient and the plan

HONLY A WOMAN"

"OnIy woman," whose name you've just real,
On a tombstone covered with dust.
And passing on, with unheeding tread
To the next, you are heard to say,
"Ony WON IN again!' Who cares
To know who she is or when
She m nunted the golden stairs
That leads to our final home?
"Only woman!' But oh, my frie d.
Can it be you've never known
What brightness and glory a wcman's life lends
While the rays of the sunshine lasts?
"Only a wonan!' All! then you own
You're one of the unfortunate few,
Whose barren lives have never known
The love of woman's heart.
"Onlv a womaL!r Sheer not at the name,
For life without her would be worthless.
Our guardian angel! She's always the same,
No matter how rugged the life path.
"Only a woman!'' Whose power cannot
Bravely lead men on to the fight,
But OH! How cheerful the soldiers lot,
Who es while she hovers near him.
"Only woman who gently leads
Some poor sinner to Christ,
She comforts the poor by her grac GUS deeds,
More than this no man can do
"Only woman whose form may not stand
On Fames high and dizzy summit,
But her mission is holier than all in the land,
She lifts our poor world nearer heaven.
Only wcman,' but lss not by

Look on it with reverence, for she who there lies

KEEP THE BALANCE UP.

1t has been truthfully said that any
disturbance Of the even balance Of
health canses serious trouble. No
body can be too careful. to keep this
balance up. When people begin to
lose appetite, or to get tired easily, the.
least imprudence brings on sickness,
weakness, or debility. The system
needs tonic, Graves it, and should
not be denied it; and the best tonic Of

At the monthly meeting Of the
Junior Gunpowder Agricultural Club
the subject discussed was "Corn Grow
ing" We take the report of the meet
ing from the Baltimore County Union:
Mr.. Granville Matthews said: 81
prefer good, stiff sod manured year
ahead to begin with. Then plow we'll
and thoroughly prepare the ground
before planting the corn. l think we
ought to be careful about getting the
best seed, and kind that will give US
larger yields. l formerly used the
cultivator and double shovel plow, but
now work the riding cultivator; it does
better with the fender attached, espcci-
ally with drilled corn. The ground
should be worked, if possible, once a
week. We have been cutting off corn
too early, as it does not weigh as much
nor make as much meal. l do not
like to cut off corn until the husk and
lower blades begin to dry. l do not
as yet see much advantage in using
the corn harvester, as with hands the
crop can he cut about as cheap. l
think the making Of ensilage of part
Of the crop is good plan. The fodder
otherwise handled should be cut for
feeding. In planting drill corn 1 find
the tendency is to plant it too thickly.
1t should stand one grain every Is
inches. | would rather plant from the
lst to 10th of May than plant in April.
| let my old sod land stand and plowed
the new set, as it was not promising
for grass"
MIR. George E. Shelley said: Gan
ideal start for corn is we'll llmanured sod
land. The thorough working of the
ground before planting adds a great
deal towards a good crop, and the cul-
tivation should be we'll done up to har-
vest; if not, then as is often the case,
the crop is neglected. favor shallow
cultivation and plant cora both ways as

The Dent corn is a good variety and
the seed ears should he selected in the
fail and put aside. Farmers made q
mistake last tall by cutting their corn
too early, as some corn and fodder
spoiled. The husk should be brown
and the corn ripe before it is cut.
Shocks Of corn stand better and the
fodder is protected if corn is cut 10
hills square, and if land is to be seeded,
then "a hills by hills Plant in May
for general crop"
Mr.. I. NJ. Pearce said: IL think we
should have good varieties of corn,
plenty Of barnyard manure on the
ground and give the crop good tillage
Corn should not be planted too closely,
as too much short corn is the result.
[ think large shocks Of corn give pro-
lection to the fodder. Fodder should
be cut up, as it goes further fel that
way"

HOW TO ACT.

If a man cheats you, cease to deal
with him; if he is abusive, quit his
company, and if he slanders you, take
care to live so that nobody will believe
him. No matter who he is, or how he
misuses you, the wisest way is to let
him alone; for there is nothing better
than this cool, calm and quiet way of
dealing with the wrongs We meet with.
Lies unheeded will die; fires Unframed
will burn out, and quarrels neglected
become as dull as the all but extinct
volcano

ABOUT WATERCRESS.

- = 1s4 1sE-t
1t is good helper Of digestion. 1t
is an appetizer, and a stimulant some
what on the order of mustard.
If iron be deficient in the red COR
puscles of the blood, then paleness of
face and anemia will result. To the
rescue comes the watercress, which
has sucked up atomic articles of iron
from the waters in which its rapid
growth was made. Only spinach, of
all green plants, contains more iron
suspended in its juices than does the
useful watercress. so9
The blood is not acid, but alkaline.
When it becomes acid it is out of
health, and tries to throw out the acids
it does not want. Then the whole
wonderful fabric of the skin suffers.
Roughness come upon the delicate
sides of the sweat channels, blotchi-
ness. spots and small indammations
follow. The skin, in fact, is in dis
order. 10 tlfHlT VI 10
Acids in the green food have the
power to counteract acids in the blood.
Like conscious agent the body knows
this, and the appetite cries for such
green food. Watercress holds many
acids, formed by the union ofits diff.
ferent salts. In tiny particles this
food holds portions of the eight diff.
erent minerals reqired by the body
and these saline atoms make chemi.
cal combinations that are most health.
full. p : .aEaau3fi cards hGa
So when watercress is eaten the skin
is relieved from the out-throwing Of
the IRRITATING acids that were COM
ing through its channels. Then
blotchiness, pimples, irritable spots all
depart. One secret of keeping good
complexion lies in eating tender water
cress grown in fair waters. 5d -
Many reject watercress on account
of its harboring the eggs of nevis and
frogs in cunning hiding places in
crevices Of its leaves and stalks such
eggs being so minute and SO attached
to the greenery by their gummy ma
ture that it is impossible to dislodge
them even after many washings.
This objection only applies to wat
crcress grown in sluggish streams
where such eggs may be swept into
the plant. AS the growth requires
swift stream in order to do well and
elaborate itself speedily, tender water
cress is pretty sure to have come from
good stream. So the tenderness of
the plant is test Of its having grown
in a good water. Salt will seject and
loosen all eggs, however, if there is
any suspicion of their being present.
Washing in salt water in any case
should not be ommitted, as it adds to
the edibility of the watercress. u
