Disking kills many weeds.

There are various kinds of dodder.
Gravelly land will not hold manure
Any good corn soil is good for sor-

Oats and field peas should be sown
as early in the spring as possible.
AS soon az the weather turns mild
the canker worms ascend the tree.
An acre of good sorghum should
produce three to five tons of fair hay.
The value of a good tomato Is due
to the fact that it has but few seeds.
There are two points in favor of
the grain drill that are many times
overlooked.
Success with the garden depends
to a great extent upon the quality of
the seeds that are used.
Sorghum appreciates warm weather
wen more than corn, and should be
sown a week or two later.
A very large acreage Of corn land
will be plowed this spring and a seed
bed prepared for another corr crop.
The clover stubble and roots con-
tain nitrogen, part of which is OBJ
tanned from the air and part from the
soil.
In buying a farm, select coed land,
even if o cannot afford to buy more
than 20 acres.
Young clover should never be pas
tured, as the tramping of the cattle
will compact the soil so hard as to
kill out most of the plant.
Successful cranberry culture neces-
states such a situation and control of
the water supply that the entire bog
may be easily and quickly flooded.

Desirable Younn Men

The kind of young men wanted on
the farms are those that are not
ashamed of the work, who believe
there is no better business than farm
ing, who are willing to take right
hold and do everything that comes to
them, and do it all the very best they
can. Young men are wanted who will
take the time to learn what scientific,
up-to-date farming is, and who love
live stock.

business OF the day, where nature and

is OF a strength to match the characters.

that one in a hundred has foot which
would show this straight line is to make
too optimistic a statement at least so
far as women are concerned. The long
wearing of shoes modelled so that the

has made all feet curve where they

Then the second toe should be longer

SUFFRAGETTESPLAN
Observation-Disclosures

1t has been suggested that Mrs Marks
pageant be produced under cover first.
and that it should then be carried about

withheld by influential anti-suhragists-
so that although returning to one Of the
oldest forms of dramatic production for
a means. one of the most advanced OF
modern ideals would be presented to all
Of the people of Boston.
Mrs. Marks pageant, according to her
present plan, is to represent dramatic
scenes on a heroic scale from the lives
OF several women who have played i'm
portant parts in the history Of woman's
Advancement, with a prologue showing
woman in her earliest surroundings.
The pageant is planned to be a dream
pageant. This prehistoric woman is to
fall asleep in the first scene. or episode,
and is to see in her subsequent dream
the gradual development and refinement
of her success up till the end.
In outlining her plan Mrs. Marks said:
Although l have no definite scheme yet
in mind 1 thought it would be interesting
in putting such an idea as that OF the
emancipation of women into dramatic
form to begin with the first conception
of woman that we can fCrm-of woman
when in q state of which history has
no trace.
IT should imagine her to be a quiet and
even a humble being. wearing little but

AS far as her feet are concerned the

health comes to a woman from her feet.

The most recent scheme for the fur
ther enfranchisement of women is being
planned by Josephine Peabody Marks, of
Cambridge, New Englands best known
woman playwright. who has outlined a
pageant tracing historically the noble
deeds accomplished by great women from
the prehistoric era to the time of the
late Julia Ward Howe.
This pageant which is to be a series OF
tableaux, each having for its central fig
ure a woman famous in the annals Of
great and good women, and showing
woman's claim to freedom and equality.
has been suggested by Mrs. Marks to
the suffrage association, and its produc-
ton is possibility for the spring months.
Should the suffragists of greater Boston
decide to produce the pageant of Mrs.
Marks, whose reputation as the author OF
THE Piper" the play winning the STRAIT
ford-on-Avon prize. which is soon to be

Precautions Against Theft.

no records of an exam paper lost,

narrative of successful precautions. For
some years its foreman used to cart
