How to Grow China Asters.

The china aster Is one of the best
hardy plants for cut flowers and for
planting in the garden. Transplant
from seed beds for summer flowers.
Seeds sown in the open border in May
give strong plants later in the season.
Try wood ashes to overcome the root
aphis which often attacks the aster.
Plants of china aster should be
transplanted when they are three or
four inches high. From this time on,
to get best results, some little care
must be shown. In transplanting, see
that as much earth clings to the roots
as possible, or, if purchasing plants,
have them dug carefully.
Prepare the hole to receive the lifted
plant so that it will be big enough to
take in the ball of earth and deep
enough to allow of the plant being half
an inch deeper in the ground than it
was in the seed bed, cover with fine
soil to the level of the bed and press
gently about the roots; not too hard,
or you might break the delicate roots.
Always transplant after sundown and
after rain if possible. If it must be
done in the morning put teacupful
of water in each hole and shade from
the sun for day or two.
All that is necessary to do after
transplanting is to keep down the
weeds, and keep the surface soil open
and porus by frequent raking-at least
twice week-rake very lightly near
the plants so as not to disturb the
roots. In very dry season water the
plants from time to time, giving a
large cupful to each one and rake af-
terwards.-Indianapolis News.

Seeing the intimate relation between
dairy form and production, many dairy
men have sought to improve their
herds by selecting what may be called
extreme dairy form. They have select,
ed the "V' shaped breast and narrow
wethers, and lost sight of the fact
that while so doing they have in the
highest degree brought the four legs
close together and narrowed the dis
tance from side to side between the
shoulders, which has made the chest
capacity so small that respiration and
heart action are weakened. Extreme
dairy form has limits which may not
be safely passed without hazard. Give
more attention to the development of
the dairy habit and not quite so much
to the form.-Prof. Thomas Shaw

Farm Notes,

Success in the poultry business does
not depend upon luck; it is pluck that
counts.
In using manure for top dressing
only, much of the fertility is dissipated
into the air.
Pure-bred fowls are not always stan
dard-bred, but all standardized fowls
must necessarily be pure-bred.
When desired to fatten rapidly there
is nothing better than good cornmeal.
Give all they will eat up clean.
When the chickens are off their feed
and do not eat with an apparent relish
increase the exercise and change the
bill of fare
A stiff wagon tongue is boon to
the farm or draft horse. 1t prevents
sore necks, because there is no weight
to be borne.
A hen pays in proportion to the
number of eggs she produces; there
fore, it is an item to feed so as to
secure plenty of eggs.
The use of inferior bulls and stall
lions should be discouraged by the
farmers. They can do this by pat
ronizing the really good males.
In arranging the nests, have them
arranged conveniently for the hens
so that in getting in and out there will
be little danger of breaking the eggs.
You cannot make low-headed horse
look toppy and stylish by refining with
a tight rein, nor improve the style
of a lofty-headed fellows appearance.

Vitality of Alfalfa Seed.

A remarkable test of the vitality Of
alfalfa seed is reported in Bulletin
No. 10 of the Colorado Agricultural
Experiment Station. 1t is generally
considered that seed must be perfect
ly new in order to come up freely. In
Bulletin No. 35 of the experiment sta
tion some tests were given of seeds
ranging from one to six years old
DR.. Headden has retained samples of
the same seed and tests have been
again made when the seeds has been
from eleven to sixteen years old, and
the tests have shown that from eighty
eight to ninety-siX percent terminated.
The screenings showed less vitality,
the first quality of screening running
from fifty to 1912 percent; second
quality, thirty-eight percent, and third
quality forty percent.

Alfalfa Practicahln

Prof. W. J. Frazier of the University
of Illinois in recent interview on al
falfa as a forage crop said:
alfalfa is one of the best crops to
grow for soiling, for two reasons:
Be sure it furnishes a larger amount of
nutriments per acre than any other
crop grown and because it grows up
rapidly after being cut off and fur
nishes continuous supply of green
feed. When a fair sized field is cut
over, a portion each day as needed for
feed the first side of the field is ready
for cutting again. Under proper con-
ditions this crop will yield four tons
OF hay per acre. With a yield Of four
tons 1t furnishes more than twice as
much protein as clover at three tons
per acre and about three times as much
protein as corn at sixty bushels per
acre. Many farmers have failed in
attempting to grow alfalfa, but it has
been proven repeatedly in most, Sec
tions of Illinois that alfalfa can be
grown successfully If attention. is CIV

MEDDLET0WN MURDER CASE
Convict Had a Disagreement With
His Boss and Committed
Fatal Assault.

New Castle, Ind, Feb. 21.-To Sc
cure the pardon of Vincent CHM, now
serving a sentence of life in the
Michigan City prison for murder,
petition is being circulated through
out the county by relatives. If suf-
ficient signatures can be secured the
petition will be presented to Gov.
Hanly. asking executive clemency.
CHM has been in prison for about
six years, and it is doubtful if he will
be pardoned. as the crime for which
he was convicted was cold blooded
and premeditated. CHM was en-
ployed at the tkl-plate mill in Mid
dletown, when it was at its best, and
Frank Giltner was the superintend
ent. For some reason CHM was dis
charged and for revenge struck Gilt
ner over the head with an iron bar
inficting injuries from which he died
three hours later without regaining
consciousness.
The trial was a hard fought one,
and that CHM was not hung was
credited to the ableness of his at
torneys and to the aversion in Hen
ry county, several times illustrated,
against capital punishment. Henry
county has another man in the same
prison serving a life sentence, John
Thrawley, who killed Rufus Shoe
maker.
