EARLY Cultivation.

The most successful corn growers
realize the Importance of thorough,
early cultivation, thus preventing any
check in the growth of plants because
of weeds or crusted soil. The farmer
should see that from the time of ger
mination to the maturing of the corn
the plants are not subjected to any
,unfavorable conditions, but are given
an opportunity to make n steady, Wig
orous growth. IF their development Is
checked from any cause they will
never fully recover, no matter how
favorable the after treatment AS q
consequence of heavy rainfall the stalks
may increase rapidly in height and at
the same time, for lack of cultivation
or of soil fertility or for other reasons,
they may be slender or of poor color.
Thrifty corn plants are thick, strong
and Of dark green color.-C. p. Hart

Expert Advice on Fighting "A Pecul-

Assistant AgroStologist Carlton p
Ball of the United States department
of agriculture replies in Country Gen
tleman to an inquiry from an Albany
county suburban resident: Crab grass
Is an annual, living from season to
season by means of the seed which II
ripens and drops to the ground among
the grass roots. These seeds no not
germinate until the weather and soil
have become very warm. When the
infested area is small and it Is at all
possible to do so, the largest possible
number of these seedlings should be
pulled up while they are small Where
1t Is not possible to exterminate them
by this method they may be kept down
to large extent by judicious use of
the lawn mower. One way in which
this can be done is by moving fire.
Quently and regularly, as one does in
the ordinary practice of lawn manage
ment, thus keeping the Towering heads
cut off as fast as they appear. This
method, however, drives the plant to
the production of small seed heads
close to the ground, usually on short
horizontal branches, which cling closely
to the ground by roofing at the joints,
as previously mentioned. These heads
are too low to be cut by the mower
blades, 1t is possible, however, when
this stage in the process is reached to
raise them to an erect position by
means of an iron rake skillfully manip-
ulated.

GARDEN HINTS
Sow wax beans for a succession.

Sow wax beans for a succession.
Weeds are grass feeders and rob the
garden plants of food and moisture.
Cucumbers may still be planted early
in the month of June.
Stop asparagus cutting, let the shoots
grow and keep the ground stirred.
Transplant beets in rows one or two
feet apart and six inches in the row.
Cut off most of the top, water thor
oughly, and they will soon start to
grow.
Lettuce seed does not germinate very
well in hot weather. Therefore In SOW
ing for a succession select a cool, moist
somewhat shaded spot.
Be on the lookout for bugs on the
squashes and keep the ground well
stirred.
For early tomatoes train the plants
to a trellis and pinch off the side
shoots.
Coleus and other tender plants sci
out as late as the first of June will
go ahead and excel those that were
planted several weeks earlier.
A Description by Byron and n Com.
ment on 1t by Scott.
Byron in the third canto of "Childe
Harold" describes a thunderstorm in
Switzerland which occurred at mid
night on June 13, 1916. He notices the
awful stiffness which precedes it.:
All heaven and earth are still, though moi
In sleep.
But breathless,
until
From peak to peak. the rafting crags
among,
Leaps the live thunderl Not from one
lone cloud,
But every mountain now hath found a
tongue,
And Jura answers. through her misty
shroud,
Back to the joyous Alps, who call to her
aloud
The description Is too long to quote,
and, indeed, too well known, but Sir
Walter Scott's criticism on 1t may not
be so well known. He says:
''This is one Of the most beautiful
passages of the poem. The fierce and
far delight of a thunderstorm is here
described in verse almost as vivid as
its llghtnings. The live thunder leap
ing among the rattling crags,' the voice
of mountains, as If shouting to each
other, the FLASHING Of the big rain, the
cleaning of the wide lake, lighted like
phosphoric sea, present picture of
sublime terror, yet of enjoyment, often
attempted, but never SO well, certainly
never better, brought out in poetry

Types of old World Beauty.

1t is said that when artists are seek
ing for models the palm for beauty and
symmetry of figure is given to the girls
of Spain, while the daughters of rural
Ireland are good second. The pretty
faces and graceful throats are found
among English maidens. A model for
a perfect arm would be sought for
among Grecian ladies', while q lady OF
the Turkish harem would be regarded
as the possessor of a daintily COM
mendable hand. Italians are usually
good in figure and some of the most
beautiful models, perfectly proportion
ed, are derived from the women of
sunny Italy. Frenchwomen, as a rule,
are not in request, being too thin and
vivacious for the purpose, while the
face and limbs of a German frau are
too commonplace for artistic work

LIME IN SPRAY MIXTURES.

Variation In Compositton-A Pound
Not a Definite Unit.
BY L. A. VOORHEES,. New Jersey.
Lime Is now quite widely used in
the preparation of the various remedies
for fungus diseases and insect attacks.
In making bordeaux mixture for plant
diseases and many of the washes rec
commended for the San Jose scale, for
example, lime is used In varying guam
titles. The object Of the use OF the
lime In the case of the bordeaux is to
convert the sulphate of copper into a
hydrate of copper, while at the same
time rendering the mixture neutral or
alkaline and improving its adhesive
properties. In the case of the washes
lime IS added to serve as a base for
the sulphur compounds formed as well
as to improve the sticking qualities
Of the mixture.
Lime n Variable Product.
Owing to the wide variation in the
composition of lines, both in reference
to the actual lime contained in them
and to their form-that is. whether an
oxide, n hydrate or n carbonate-it Is
obvious that one pound of lime is not
a definite unit; hence in the formulas
used for these mixtures the amount
of lime recommended is usually in ex-
cess of that which would be required
TO accomplish the purpose If the term
lime" had reference to standard
rather than variable product
The Litmus Paper Test.
1t Is because of variability Of COM
position and in order to insure neutral
ity and thus avoid injury to the foliage
or fruit, by the use of an acid mix
ture or even from an excess OF lime,
that the recommendations include the
test for neutrality with red litmus
paper. This paper turns blue as soon
as sufficient lime has been added to
make the mixture alkaline. This test
is sure and should always be used be
fore applying the mixtures, especially
in those liable to contain an acid.
