GOOD Fertilizer FOR CORN
Il Gives the Plant Uniform Vigorous
Growth Which Continues
Through the Season.

The value Of a good corn fertilizer
consists in giving the corn a uniform
vigorous early growth. The stalks are
stout, roots many and spreading,
foliage dark green and healthy. This
strong, vigorous growth continues
throughout the growing period. The
crop natures early, the grain and fod-
der ripening fully 10 to 1e days earlier
than corn planted the same day on
the same quality Of land and given
exactly the same careful cultivation.
To obtain a profitable yield select
sound grain taken from the middle of
the ear; plant when soil Is warm and
mellow. Corn, like wheat and rye,
must have a fertilizer having a full
supply of phosphoric acid. The stalk,
leaves and grain require considerable
potash. For these reasons an animal
bone phosphate containing eight per
cent. of available phosphoric acid. two
per cent. of nitrogen and three per
cent. Of actual potash should be
bought. A fertilizer of this quality ap-
piled at the rate of 300 pounds to the
acre in the corn hills, the ground being
rolled sod, will under careful culture
give a profitable yield of grain. On
the other hand, when a cheap acid
phosphate is used the strength Of the
fertilizer il used up in stalk and
leaves, and, unless there Is sufficient
plant food in the sod to make the
grain, the yield Of corn is small. When
raw or long yard manure is spread
broadcast and plowed under. or a
heavy sod plowed down in the spring,
It is most profitable to put the corn
In with $50 to 300 pounds of some
good standard bone phosphate to the
acre, as the manure and scS will not
be available as plant food until rotted.

MAKING PROFIT IN TOMATOES
Secret Of Inducing Vines to Bear Album
dance Of Fine Red Fruit 10 to Cut
Away eIeeders.

Not all who raise tomato vines m
abundance pick abundance Of toma-
toes. Last year there were many who
had prolific vines who picked no to-
matoes. The cause was simple, writes
Frank e. Ward of Lawrence, Kan, in
the Kansas City Star. In the wet,
cool spring the vines grew to an un-
natural size. Then there was not root
enough to make fruit in the hot
weather.
Wet and rich soil causes bleeders to
sprout from the crotch between tho
leaf and the main stalk or trunk. II
those are allowed to grow they be-
come many feet long and there win be
but little fruit. II they are pinched OF
as soon as they appear, say once a
week, the excess growth will be forced
into the fruit and 1t will be ready to
ripen as soon as the sun is hot.
Should the bleeders grow unnOticed
until three or four leaves are develop
ed 1t is better to pinch of the small
points and thus STOP their growth,
than to cut away the whole bleeder.
When a cluster Of buds form on q
branch which is not near the main
trunk the small end Of the branch
should be pinched of to prevent the
leaves robbing the fruit. In that way
the vines are kept within bounds. You
will see by this that the fruit lateral is
not to be mistaken easily for a
bleeder.
The above sytem Of pruning is not
original with me. It is used by many
with favorable results. In my gar
den of clay soil, 30x50 feet, last year
raised 400 pounds Of tomatoes, which

Good Definition.

A New York Judge, it will be re-
membered, recently declared uncon-
stitutional the new law that an auto
mobilist, having run over pedes-
TRAN, must stop and leave his name.
The judge said that the automobilist
had perfect right to run away and
leave the mangled victim to bleed to
death alone for the reason that, in
criminal cases, no man is obliged to
bear witness against himself. James
Halden Wilkes, president Of the De-
Tense Society of Atlanta, discussed
this legal decision at the societys
last meeting. And that" he cried

without first knowing what kind of

After the seed corn has been Sc

necessary for terminating quality.
This can be done only by using a
seed tester. Such an implement can

been numbered, we may begin with

about two inches from the tip, and
another kernel about two inches from
the butt; then by sticking them In
pairs into the sand, we will have
this ear ready for testing. Follow
the same method with the second ear,
and so on, until the kernels from ten
ears are placed in the first row. BY
counting down the rows, and noting
the kernels that have failed to ger

locating the bad ears.
After the seed tester has received

open.Air Schools Increasing.

OPen-AIr SCHOOLS increasing.
Since January 1, 1907, sixty-five open
air schools for children afflicted with
or predisposed to tuberculosis have
been established in twenty-eight cities,
according to an announcement made
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis.
The first open air school in the United
States was established on January 1,
1907, by the board of education Of
Providence, R. l.. at the instance of
DR.. Ellen A. Stone. The next school
was established in May of the same
year at Pittsburg, and the third at
Boston in July, 1908. According to
the reports received by the national
association, the result of the open air
class-work has been to restore most
of the children to normal health and
efficiency. One of these open air
schools or classes should be estab-
lished for each $4,000 population. en-

Avoid the Cheap and "6i0 Can" eak-
ina Powders.

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation: they certainly give the
purchaser plenty of powder for his money
but it's not all baking powder; the bulk
is made up of cheap materials that have
no leavening power. These powders are
SO carelessly made from inferior mate
rails that they will not make light, whole
some food. Further, these cheap baking
powders have very small percentage Of
leavening gas; therefore it takes from two
to three times as much of such powder to
raise the cake or biscuit as it does of Calu-
met Baking Powder. Therefore, in the long
run, the actual cost to the consumer Of the
cheap powders is more than Calumet
would be.
Why not buy perfectly wholesome bak-
ing powder like Calumet, that is at the
same time moderate in price and one
which can be relied upon? Calumet gives
the cook the least trouble.
