The Cabbage Family.

When cooking cauliflOwer, cabbag e
or such savory vegetables never put a
lid on the pan. This sounds as though
really you would want all of the odor
to 60 through the house, but, on the
contrary, it so blends with the air that
It Is hardly noticeable, while if the lid
is kept on the pan it will have to be

, It Is possible to cook all kinds uf

placing large piece of bread over

this Is great waste and refuse to al

Wood Ashes as a Rich Fertilizer.

In log cabin days, when wood was
the only fuel, ashes We're saved UP
from the winter fires for "Iye" for soap
| making in spring. At all other times
they we're simply thrown into a heap
in the back yard. or thrown out of the
kitchen door at random, often falling
by the doorstep. They were considered
of no value by most people, and those
who did know of their fertiizing quail
tiles made little use of them because
the virgin soil produced we'll without
the aid of fertilizers.
Ashes, although refuse matter and
nc longer used for making soap, are OF
some value and it pays to save and use
them on the farm. This is true Of both
wood and coal ashes, although wood
ashes are worth the more.
UnleacheG wood ashes contain from
4 to per cent of potash in a highly
soluble form for the use of plants
Leached ashes have most of the pot
ash dissolved from Them hence con-
tain only from 1 to per cent of that
material. Hardwood ashes are richer
in potash than soft wood ashes. Wood
ashes also contain about . per cent. OF
phosphoric acid and about 81 per cent
of lime.
From the fact that potash and phos-
phoric acid are both essential soil in
gradients for plant growth and that
lime sweetens sour soils and is gem
orally beneficial TO almost all soils,
wood ashes are G valuable fertilizer.
They should be applied to the soil in a
fresh or unieached state. when they
contain the highest proportion of fer
tilizing elements. They are good for
almost all farm and garden crops.

other root crops and corn in which

Errors in Horseshoeing.

There are three or four most irratiOn-
al practices followed by many country
blacksmiths in the Shoeing of horses
that cannot be too strongly condemned.
says Farm Horseshoeing. First, the
cutting away of the frog, which is done
by a majority of the country smiths,
is a most positive injury to the foot
and can have no reasonable argument
in it's favor. The frog is the natural
cushion and eXpander of the hoof and
was placed there by an allwise Creator.
To cut it out means not only to rob
the foot of the cushion that should
soften the conclusion of every step, but
to allow the foot to contract at the
heel and become misshapen and Grip
pied. 50
Another mistaken idea is that the
sole of the foot should be thinned till
it will yield to the pressure of the
thumbs. The sole proper should never
be touched by the knife. All loose
scale may be trimmed away, hut the
knife should never cut either the sole
or the frog. All trimming on the bot
tom of the foot should be done by the
rasp, which will trim the edge and not
the sole.
Cutting of frog or sole in any way
works an injury by causing the tissues
to shrink and become hard and dry.
frog that has been trimmed by the
knife often dries so as to become det-
rimental to the foot as a stone or other
foreign body. There is never any good
excuse for touching the knife to any
healthy frog. 1t will wear away fast
enough if let alone. The writer never
saw one that was too large.
Hot fitting of shoes to horses feet
should not be allowed by the horses
owner. While it may be possible as
claimed by some horseshoers, that a
better fit is obtained in this way, and
that no real harm is done to the foot
if properly trimmed after touching with
the hot shoe, it is also possible that a
good fit may be obtained by cold fit
ting, and the latter process is certainly
safer. If the foot be perfectly leveled
with the rasp, and the shoe be made
perfectly level there is no trouble
about making fit.

skrull he scattesede0n the surfaees of
the plowed graund and narrowed or
! cultivated into the soil. This allows
the fertilizirg elements to be absorbed
by the roots of the growing crops be-
| fore they have chance to soak away
by rains. Some place ashes in the
rows or hills OF potatoes.
Since the fertiliZing elements in
| wood ashes are very soluble in water,
it is necessary to keep them in dry
store until time for use in the garden.
They may be stored in barrels or boxes
in the cellar or woodshed and taken
out for use in the spring. Those made
during the summer may be applied di-
rectly to the soil of a growing crop, in
the orchard or sprinIiled lightly over
the lawn They are good for the lawn
and shade trees as well as for other
useful plants.
Coal ashes are composed of ilsoluble
earthly matter hence they possess no
particular fertiliZing value. However,
they are good absorbers and are excel
lent material for use in poultry-ho,ISes
and stables for absorbing liquids and
gases of decomposing animal excretia.
Not being much affected by other sub
stances, coal ashes do not give off any
odors until they become supersaturat-
ed with offensive liquids or gases, or
both; therefore, they perform the dou-
BILE Office of purifying animal quarters
and holding valuable fertilizing ele-
ments from escaping. Nearly all poul-
try-house and stable manure, especial
ly where the latter contains much Ii
quid, may be practically doubled in
value by the liberal use of coal ashes.
