CREEN MANuRING.

We read of an experiment recently
made in green manuring on a worn
out farm In Maryland with other ex-
haustive crops of tobacco. We
quote:
The soil was worked over with a
springtooth harrow. The crop came
up well, stood the severe winters
well, and gave large amount of
green manure to turn under for the
crop to follow. This green matter was
supplemented with commercial fertil-
izers the first three years of the trial
but the fourth and fifth years no fer
tilizer was applied.
AS result of this treatment the
crop increased each year in quantity
and quality and on the third year it
was over three times as heavy as at
first. The land filing with humus as
a result of this, there was created a
means of preventing the crop from
firing and losing ground leaves.
This experiment is one of the clear
est examples of how. by the use of
legumes for green manuring, land
can be exclusively cropped without
rest, and yet continually improper
even to, the extent of not requiring
commercial fertilizer.

NEW LIFE ON THE FARM.


At a recent meeting Of farmers
Prof. Bailey, Of Cornell University,
said that there is a fundamental ne
cessity Of putting the school thorough
" in touch with the affairs Of life.
ard this is just as essential in the
country as in the city, where it is
already being done. The affairs OF
common life can lie SO organized as
to be effective in the training Of mems
minds just as surely as the old
academy subjects. Too many of us
60 through school with the idea that
the common affairs of life are not
scientific study. We must put our
schools thoroughly in touch with the
life people are to live. This does not
mean that teaching all the subjects
heretofore taught, but teaching them
in a new way, a reorganization Of the
school work.
believe in the rural schools. But
like other social institutions in the
country they are in a state Of ar
rested development, as compared with
the like situations in the city. With
the telephone, the multiplied means
OF transportation, the country is not
going to tumble headlong into the
city, but the city is going to move
out into the country, forming small
suburban centers.
There is going to be more difficulty
in getting a living from farm lands
hereafter. The problems the farm
will have to face are twenty times
more numerous and more complex
than fifty years ago. So we ara
brought to the absolute necessity OF
developing a new point of view to-
wards agricultural life and industry.
If you believe there are possibilities
of making a good living on the land,
and life on the land is highly honor
able, stick to it. If the city life gets
the best young men and women who
are brought up in the country, it
viii be the city's glory and the coun-
try's fault for not developing this
point of view, the appreciation of the
science of agriculture, and for not
keeping in touch with social instruc-
lions of our age in the rural districts
as well as in the city. And this re-
organization of the rural school is
going to be a great part in this
development Of the rural life and COM
munity.
The farm labor problem will not be
settled until you train up farm ar
tisans who have pride in their work
as the shop artisan has in his work.

The effect of scraping trees IS

be too heavy or deep.
Weigh each cows milk with an ac-

a Babcock tester and you will be
able to see how many of your cows
are paying for themselves.
There is no treat which the shut
up hens will appreciate more than
that which they will get from bath
in box in which two or three pecks
of fine road dust, peck of wood ashes
and pound or two of sulphur have
been placed.
While poultry need variety of
food. for economical reasons it is not
desirable to feed too great a proper
ton of oats, buckwheat and barley,
because these grains contain consid-
cradle woody fiber, which poultry are
not able to digest and assimilate.

TIE
General Demand

of the Well Informed Of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup Of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits Of the laxative for itsremark-
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Weli-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy

fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale

Dear Madam:
We believe it is the ambition Of
every woman who has charge of
a family, to have the best bread
that can be made, and the first
requisite is good -four. Every
house wife realizes that care must
be taken to produce a light spongy
bread.
First: Good flour.
Second: Good yeast. (Home-
made potato yeast preferred.)
Third: Intelligent and careful
mixing. Don't put in too much
flour. If you do the bread will be
dry and crumbly.)
Fourth: Proper temperature
for rising.
Fifth: Sufficient kneading.
Sixth: When the loaves have
risen TO the right point they should
be placed in properly heated
oven.
Seventh: Care in baking.
We can furnish you with the first
requisite in the GARLAND"
flour which has no equal as bread
producer. 1t is rich in gluten

bone, sinew and muscle. Hence
