How to Rest the Brain.

There are five things to remember to
help rest an overtired brain-O a
healthy indifference to wakefalness, C2
concentration Of the mind on simple
things, CO relaxation OF the body. "a
gentle rhythmic breathing OF fresh air,
90 regular nourishment. If we do not
lose courage, but keep on steadily night
after night, with healthy persistence
in remembering and practfciag these
five things, we shall often find what
might have been a very long period of
sleeplesSness may be materially short
ened and that the sleep. which follows
the practice of the exercises is better.
sounder and more refreshing than the
sleep that came before. In msny cases

simple means. Here is perhaps the
place to say that all narcotics are in
such cases absolutely pernietoss.

Costonseed Meal For Cows.

AS much as five pounds of cotton
seed meal may be fed to milk cows per
day in some cases with good results
and profit; but, as a rule, the amount
should not be more than one to three
pounds. Cattle will eat it readily with
out its being mixed with other grain
or material. but it is much better to
feed it with other grains or chaffed
roughage or sprinkled over the uncut
hay that has been dampened. If the
cotton seed and cottonseed meal can be
readily obtained and the cotton seed is
cheap and other grain high, a mixture
OF the seed and meal will be q more
desirable ration than either feed alone.

SWEET CORN.
Valuable to Gardeners Who Are Also
D2lrymen.


D2irymen.
BY AUGUSTUS STABLER. NJ. d.
An early corn with large ears and
large fodder is especially valuable to
those market gardeners who are also
dairymen ana keep hogs, for the ears
will usually sell in market for good
price and leave good quantity of valu-
able fodder to feed in July and August,
when pastures are generally short and
when field corn, millet, sorghum and
eowpeas are all too immature to make
good feed. Sweet corn may be planted
thicker than field corn. 1t suckers free
ly, and if fed green the whole plant is
greedily consumed by the stock.
n careful dairyman in Montgomery
county states positively that he can
make more milk from an acre of large
sweet corn fed to the COWS than from
similar acre of field corn 1t also
makes the best of Silage. so that a man
having COWS and Il silo need not fear
to plant al good acreage in sweet corn
if only he can obtain reliable seed at q
reasonable price. Farmers have been
NaASNpNhsAS7NN iiOlAA llslulluS IL 1OE IOU-
der, because the seed has been very
costly, and much seed on the market
was utterly worthless for any such
purpose.
Corn For Canning and SiIage.
There are some large growers Of
sweet corn in the state who sell the
ears to the canning factories and make
silage of the fodder. If cowpeas- be
planted with corn, or even the cid fash
toned corn hill beans. the silage will be
increased, in quantity and improved in
quality without detriment to the ears
and with a decided increase in the nj
trogen and humus left in the soil for
succeeding crops. Cowpeas do not grow
well in Maryland if planted earlier
than May %, but may be combined
with any paintings of corn made be-
tween that date and July 4. Corn
hill beans succeed best when planted
with the early corn-April "a to May %
and will grow better and have more
effect as land improves if planted year
after year on the same land.
Catch Crops with Corn.
All varieties of corn delight in rich
land, and TO this rule sweet corn is no
exception; but, owing TO the fact that it
does not grow as tall as the field corn,
catch crops of leguminous plants, like
crimson clover and cowpeas, make n
much finer growth in sweet corn. If
one of the large late varieties of cow
peas, like Wonderful, be planted be-
tween the rows of early. sweet corn at
the last working the pea vines are just
in condition to make their best growth
after the corn natures and generally
make very fine growth before frost

hundred acres, producing about q, 900
pounds of seed, are planted i'm Califor-
MIA every year for seed alone More
than 5000 pounds of one variety have
been used in n single year by one
American seed house.
Lettuce is a cool weather plant,
which succeeds best when grown in
the spring and autumn. 1t succumbs
to frost and cold if previously grown
in warm weather, but stands severe
weather if gradually hardened to it. so
much so that gardeners even as far
north as Long Island sometimes sow
the seed in September and winter the
plants over outdoors, either entirely
unprotected or with only a slight COW
er1nS of brush. Under favorable con-
ditions the seed sprouts within three
or four days, but it may sometimes be
greatly delayed. When the weather Is
dry or cold seed planted in September
may not sprout until the next spring.
-S-ef -snvZn lett,ca is c0i u and in
ferior SEED is sometimes obtained from
such crops. Practically all the seed
used in this country is raised in Cali
fornia. Only very small part of Ii is
imported, though perhaps not farther
back than 1880 the larger part of 1t
came from abroad.
Lettuce does not readily cross fer
tilize in the field, and different varie-
ties are planted side by side with little
danger of mixture. The plants are gen
orally grown for seed in the same way
as for market. Sometimes they are left
so close together that no heads are
formed, and this is said to produce in
ferior seed. 1t requires from thirty to
sixty plants to produce pound of
seed.
There are many important factors
which determine the variety best suit
ed for particular purposes. Some of
these are
Differences In Soil and Climate.-The
cos varieties, for example, succeed
much better in England than in our
country, and everywhere market gar
deners find that certain kinds are best
adapted for their conditions of soil and
climate
The Season at Which the Plants Are
Grown.-Some kinds succeed well in
the spring, but shoot to seed at once in
hot weather and are of little use for
summer planting. Certain kinds are
very hardy to cold and winter success
fully outdoors unprotected, while other
varieties. especially the crisp sorts, are
failures for this purpose.
Methods of Growing, Whether In
Greenhouses, Hotbeds or Cold Frames
and Whether Transplanted Into the
Open Air or Grown Directly In Place
Outdoors.-In field culture, where time
and space are not so important as liz
greenhouses, it is more profitable to
grow the large varieties, which are
much later in season than those com
monty grown under glass.
The Tastes of Consumers or the Re
quirements of the Markets.-Some pre-
fer the soft, delicate favored butter
