THE EARLY SEED BED.
In the Case Of Heavy Clay Soils There
II Need Of Underdrainage for
r Best Results,

In the early spring the water result
Ing from the melting Of snow and cold
rains is nearly at its freezing point.
Whenever soils are kept continually
wet, SO that large amount Of water
evaporates from their surface, the
temperature Of the soil. is low. To

requires the absorption by that pound
Of 1865 heat units. "a heat unit Is
the amount Of heat energy which is
required to raise the temperature Of
one pound of water from 81 degrees
F. to 80 degrees F. in a second IT
time.) The expenditure of a given
amount Of heat affects the tempera-
ture of different soils differently.
If you dry q given quantity of clay
loan soil until it contains one-half of,
its maximum amount of water, you
will ind that it requires the evarora-
ton Of two pounds of water more
than in drying similar area Of sandy
soil. But to evaporate IN extra two
pounds of water requires tS6.6x2 equal
to 1892 heat units. and this lowers
the Temperature of the clay loan con-
siderably. This is the reason why wet
clay loan soils are colder than wet
sandy soils. Every time evaporation
is going on in your field, there is as

THE CAKE AND HOW 1T WAS CUT.
the top of a solid cube of chocolate,
which extended right down to the
bottom of the cake.
The professor called his wife and
children when the cake was ready to
be served and said:
Here is square cake; there are
ten plums on top Of 1t. and 1t is the
finest cake I've ever baked"
The children all smacked their lips
and wanted some, but their father
only laughed at them, saying:
you can't have mouthful until
you divide the cake in such . way
as to enable you to each have an equal
share Of q similar shape, each share
containing two Of the plums-and the
chocolate must be given Intact to your
dear mother"
It took the children nearly half IN
hour to guess the right way to cut
that cake. See If you can ind out

Another good imitation Of the human

may be made by taking large empty
spool and stretching across the hole at
one end two rubber bands. The bands
must be close together at their edges
but must not overlap. You can tack
or tie the ends over the side Of the

When you blow through the other end
of the spool the bands vibrate like the

FERTILIZlNc ORCHARDS.
W. r. Massey Tells How This Work
Can Best Be Done-Fruit Trees
Need Enriching.

Farmers as q rule realize the I'M
portance Of fertilizers on their annual
crops, but when It comes to the or.
chard they imagine that an apple or
4 peach tree or other fruit tree can
ret all 1t needs from the natural soil.
And not only do this, but tho orchard
is often expected to furnish hay or
pasture for stock. The result Of such
treatment IL seen all over the coun-
try in decrepit trees and poor crops
Of fruit, and the growers say that the
climate has changed. and they can
no longer grow fruit a. they formerly
did, when in fact soil exhaustion is
at the root Of the whole trouble.
When one considers the great amount
Of plant food that has been taken
from the soil to build up great apple
tree, and that q crop of apples takes
from the soil mineral matters to
thrice the extent that a crop OF wheat
of rs bushels per acre will take. the
reason for the failure of the fruit
becomes apparent. In the early
growth Of an orchard We want the
trees to develop fast, and hence we
fertilise the soil with = complete fer
tilizer and grow some truck crops
in it that need such feeding. But
after the tree has gotten into . bear
ing condition We can put the land in
grass and cut It several timea during
the season, and let the cut grass rot
on the land. and can thus supply all
the nitrogen needed, especially II
clover is grown. Plenty Of wk'ts
clover among the grass. we'll supplie.-
with acid phosphate, and potash
mixed i've parts Of the first to one OF
the last, will supply in 400 ponds per
aero what the fruit needs for its per.
lection. Try this and see IL the fruit
does not respond.
