Importance of Grit aud Lime.

The Importance Of providing plenty
of grit and mineral matter for poultry
must never be lost sight of. Chickens
have no teeth with which to masticate
their food, and grit takes their place
in a fowls internal economy and is
therefore one OF its necessities. In a
chickens gizzard fine particles of sharu
sand or pulverized glass serve to grind
the grain into pulpy mass, which is
digested by the intestines.
The mineral matter is necessary in
the formation of the egg shells, and
those hard particles from which the
lime is most readily dissolved are there
fore the most useful. Nothing is bet
ter for this purpose than oyster shells.
The amount Of mineral matter fed to
poultry depends on whether or not they
are laying. During the laying season
hens require more mineral matter than
when they are not producing eggs.
Three things, however, ought always
to be in reach of the fowls. finely pow
dered glass or grit, to aid digestion,
ground oyster shell for egg material
and charcoal TO keep the system thor
oughly cleansed.-Thomas w. Lloyd, in
the Trlbune-Farmer.

with the soil These trenches will ac-
commodate two rows of plants, plant
ing them about eight inches apart in
the rows. Thorough cultivation and
plenty of water should be given until
the plants are ready to be earthed up,
which for the earliest batch should be
no later than September J.. For blanch-
ing such varieties as White Plume
boards are now generally used after

The principal requirements FOR grow
ing good vegetables after suitable
soil is secured are a liberal supply of
well-rotted manure, careful cultivation,
and n good supply of water in dry
weather.
Never allow any part of your garden
to remain idle during the growing sen
son. AS soon as a crop has been gath
cred or become unfit for use, dig it over
and plant again. In some cases time
may be saved by planting between the
rows Of growing crops which are near
maturity, and these must, of course,
be cleared away as soon as used to give
room and light to the new occupants

out of Edinburgh that in it, notwith-
standing his court clerkship. He was
thus in constant contact with Scotch
life and country, and he never lc'.

and see with his eyes, so far as eyes
could see it, all the local history. He
was also in love with the genius of
Scotland as it was stamped in the

Glover as n Fertilizer.

In a bulletin from the Central Ey-

be found discussion of the profitable
ness of growing and turning of clover
crops. Extensive experiments in this
line have been carried on at that farm
for a period of over eight years, and
the results gathered therefrom con.
tain considerable amount of practical
information and data. The advantages
derived from plowing under clover are
briefly stated by the station as follows:
There is an enrichment of the soil
by the addition of nitrogen obtained
from the atmosphere.
There is an increase in the store of
available mineral plant food phos-
phoric acid, potash and lime, in the
surface of the soil taken by the clover
In part from depths not reached by the
shallower root systems of other farm
crops.
Ihere is a large addition Of humus,

tive of moisture, warmer and better
aerated, conditions favorable TO vigor-
