INTENSE CULTURE.

From experience AID extended oh

can good cultivated crops be grown for
q term of years without the use OF sta
BILE manures. but that large hty crops
can be raised after such treatment and
the fertility OF farm be increased ma
teriaily
One of the best methods and u profit
able rotation in fertilizer farming il
my experience has been to plow under
sod in the spring. then by frequent
planking and narrowing UP to the first
week in June prepare faultless seed
bed. One ton TO the acre of high grade
cabbage fertilizer should be broadcast
ed and narrowed in, then as near June

pounds per acre of ammoniated fertili
ger. with low percentage of potash
in the hills. AS soon as the size of the
young cabbages will allow they should
be thinned to one plant in hill
Cabbage Delights In Cultivation.
The cabbage is 4 vegetable that must
have plenty of cultivation. Every day
tiliage would do it no harm, ana II
y
cen TO twenty tons of cut cabbases
from the acre can be raised under the
above treatment and with good eli
matte conditions. BY the cellar method
of storage the heads are cut close,
leaving the roots in the ground, SO that
none OF the unused fertilizer is re
moved and much value in the stumps
and bottom leaves returned to the soil
The second year in the rotation the
land is planted early to potatoes, using
one ton fertilizer to the acre. half or
more broadcasted.
This treatment should produce 200 to
400 bushels potatoes, varying in eli
matte and soil conditions. The crop
should be dug as early as practicable
and if dug by machine the soil gets
practically another blowing, after
which the land is narrowed and imme-
diately sown to grass without fertili
yer Following this treatment. in which
two and a quarter tons high grade fer
tilizer have been applied to the acre
and two good hoed crops removed, we
can expect three years of satisfactory
moving, when the land can again be
taken up or by annual top dressing
with a complete top dressing fertilizer
kept in grass for much longer period.
The better plan, however, is to plow
up often, as Il better sod is turned I'M
der and n deeper soil that holds mois
ture better created. If the hay is sold
as Il cash crop the five crops named
should at a low estimation sell for
$3.50, with a cost for fertilizer Of about
SSS and the farm improve in fertility
under such treatment.-E. w. Sargent.

STRIKING CUTTINGS.
Time Now to Start BEDDING Plants to
Carry Over Winter.

The double towering sweet alyssum
IS still n general favorite and makes
| an excellent edging for bed of scarlet
| geraniums. A couple of fats filed
with rutted cuttings now will give an
abundance of cuttings in spring, or
few plants can be dibbled in along
the front of a rose or carnation bed
In fact in any old corner, and the space
will not be missed.
Heliotrope cuttings struck now will
produce nice little plants for Easter
time, and lots of cuttings can be got

perature will do them all winter but
they cannot stand the slightest frost.
so do not delay propagation.
Saliva spiendens can be relied upon
to come true from seed, but some very
nice plants are seen in four inch pots
covered with flowers at Easter time
from cuttings put in at this season.
They are subject to red spider and
need close attention.
Double Towering petunias are good
bedders and are also useful as pot
plants, and a number of them should
be propagated now.
Begonias Vernon and erfordii are
largely used as bedding plants. A few
seeds saved now and sown in January
or February produce good bedding
stock, more vigorous in fact than
plants raised from cuttings They
make nice plants for winter towering
indoors, either i'll the greenhouse or in
window, and where they are needed
for this purpose a number of them
should be raised from cuttings now.
There are few plants so easily handled
as these. In freedom from various
pests they are unique and are thus
admirably adapted to the amateur or
those of limited facilities.
Nerbenas are easily raised from seed

however, is no drawback to many.
Some like to have the colors separate,

Garments For Ghosts.

Some of our studious magazine writ
ers are making a serious effort to dis
cover what is the latest thing in
clothes for modern and up to date
ghosts.
After talking with men who had met
ghosts, though they claimed they had
been drinking nothing but water, the
investigators came to the conclusion
that the refined and particular spook
made it a practice to appear among
men dressed in garments that We're
cut according to the latest patterns of
the day.
This is quite a tribute to Paris,
which sets the pace for the world in
such things. Doubtless the ghost looks
over the fashion magazines or perhaps
if he is busy tells his tailor to get up
something in the latest style regardless
of expense, for he is going to walk
around on earth and must be CARRIED in
a way that will do credit to the artists
of Spookland. We do not claim to
know for certain that this is right. You
might ask the next ghost you meet.

each bracket consists of bar with
perfora tons in it's under side, and the
vertical member of the bracket carries
a pin at its upper end which is adapted
to engage one or other of these per-

The method of linking the bracket
bars to the notched bars is clearly il
Illustrated in Fig. 3. When the brackets
are in position a scaffolding plank is
supported on them. In some instances
it may be necessary to use the bars
at their full length on one side of a

the roof to the gutter. In such a case
hooks are used, which are connected to
the bar by a loop. and these hooks are
adapted to engage the peak of the roof.

photography how much dust is thus

To say that dust is the life of road
is not putting the fact too strongly.
1t is the cementing material of the road
surface, which, combining with the
moisture contributed by rain, holds to-
gether the stony particles composing
that surface, shedding storm water
and preventing the particles from I'M
dergoing disintegration. Thus it may
be said that dust is to a road what
shingles are to house. If it is taken
away the roadbed goes to pieces. The
amount of dust thrown up by the au-
tomobile is in proportion to the speed
at which it goes. But, in order to OBJ
tain exact figures on this point, the
government experts take a series of
photographs of each motor car, trav-
cling over the same stretch of road at
ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles
and so on up to seventy miles an hour.
A stretch of road with q fairly sharp
turn is chosen by preference. in order
that photographers posted at the bend
may, with safety to themselves, snap
shoot each motor car from directly
in front, as it approaches. and also
directly from behind. after it has
passed by. Now, it is not merely for

reau is making these experiments. 1t

For some months past the experts

KNIFE FOR DYSPEPSIA.
Surgery as "a Cure For Chronic Gas
trfc Disturbance

The very latest alleged triumph of
surgery is the cure of chronic dyspep-
STA with the aid of the knife. DR. Louis
Frank, professor Of abdominal surgery
In the medical department Of Ken
lucky university, holds that in the vast
majority of cases it can be cured with
the surgeons knife.
DR. Frank, in a communication to the
American Journal of the Medical Sci
ences, pictures the pitiable condition Of
the chronic dyspeptic. going on daily
from bad to worse.
Medicine, he points out, seldom pro
duces cure or even alienation of the
fortunes of the disease. And this is but
natural, he asserts, as the cause in al
most all cases is one that medicine can

All protracted gastric or intestinal
disturbances are due. DR.. Frank as
serts, to organic causes and are abso

When there is any question as to d.

legitimate and accredited operation.
Then if it is found-and he claims
that it will be almost invariab bly, so
found-that the trouble is caused by
gastric ulcer the remedy is plain and
the surgeons knife readily supplies it.
The result, it is assured. is complete
and radical cure, with a restoration to

Oldest Date In History.

Professor James II. Breasted, the
Psychologist of the University of Chi
cago, has just announced in an article
in the Biblical World that the oldest
fixed date in history is 4241 B. c. In
that year, he says. the calendar was
established. the year beginning on
what would be July TO-
Consequently the calendar now in
use is 6.147 years old. The professor
arrived at these conclusions during his
long exploration trip to the Nile val
ley, when he compared the astronomi-
cal dates in the old and middle king
doms of Egypt.
