On the manure in the furrows I would use high-grade complete fertilizer, made by mixing 900 pounds of acid phosphate. 700 pounds of fish scrap and 400 pounds of muriate of potash to make tone. and would use not less than 800 pounds per acre of this in the furrows on the manure. and then bed on the whole, puling the ridges well up with hoes. Let the ridges set tie week or more before setting, so that the potash can become assimilated with the soil
 Some years ago grower who used a similar mixture found that his plants in the frames where be applied 1000 pounds per acre as advised were turn ing red on the edges of the leaves. and he sent me some Of them to know what was the matter found that the roots had been seorched by the fertilizer. and setting the plants in my frames, they went on and grew well. Set the Won derful foot apart in the rows. and set ibem on the north side Of beds lun- ming east and west Many make the mistake of setting these and cabbage plants on the sunny side Of the bed, where they are exposed to the sun when frozen and this does more dam age than the actual cold Care must be used not 10 set the plants too deeply, but just SO that when the beds are leveled in the early spring they will be on the surface with every leaf above .t+.I not head well
 Now for the nlants that are 10 be headed in later winter in the frames: would SOW seed Of the Big Boston in September, and have them ready 10 set in the frames in late November or carly December. Several sowings should he made. as the season may push the first sowing 10 100 large a size. and the seed is cheap enough Co be liberal with t. The practice of the best growers under cloth is to make their frames eleven feet wide, ard have the ends aLd ridge poles removable. so that the preparation Of the soil and the blowing in of the manure can be done by horse power After getting ail=the manure they can stuff into the soil. they run slight ridges ( feet through the frates with hand blow. and oa these set ths plants to prevent the hands setting them too deeply.
 When the plants .ake hold Of the soil the fertilizer mixture l have de scr.bed is applied a rate of 0Qa pounds per acre in the HttIe furroWs between the ridges and the soil. and is then ieveIed SO as 'o leave the plants set just right This is better than putting the fertilizer right uE1eT the plants, as it gets to them gradually. and there is TO danger of bUruine the roots. The latest trep is sGHa fn January in a frame under glass For this sowing the New York lettuce is best as it stands the heat better than the Be Boston, and makes a succession to the Wonderful set in the fall. This crop will come on in early May, and will be of value orly for the home market. The great secret in getting good lettuce at any time is manurine and fertilizing lib- erally. Any st.nt in manure CT fer tiliZer will make a poor crop. and only the best l,ttuee is prohiahle-N'. r. Massey, Director Of North Carolina Ex- psrimeat Station

Not All Bad.

Toe often officials are judged from the standpoint of their political af- flation by those men and newspapers so ndI TOW they refuse to recognize any good exists in q person of other po- Iltical belief than their own. Nc great CT injustice can be done an official, justly declares the South Bend Grd1 Tribune. There are as good men in orc party as in another and the ofti- eials of one party may be as compe- tent as those eff another. if the best men are placed in office. The stand ard of judgment should not be po- htical faith. but intent and accom- pllshmcnt honesty and efficiency. Many an official has good intentions, but fails to accomplish. and many are honest. but not efficient Officials then. to measure to the real standard must have right intentions and the power and ability to accomplish, anl thev must be honest and efficient The election of those who cannot meet this standard is a mistake
