have heard that lemons are sure cure
for malaria. VIII you please tell me how
TO take them, and how many a day, and
A SUFFERER.
Lemons are an old Italian remedy
for malaria. The preparation is as fol-
follows: Take one lemon, rind and all, and
slice it into saucepan, pouring over it
one and one-half pints of water. Cook
this down to one-half pint, and strain
through coarse cotton or linen, so that
part of the rind and pulp pass through.
Let this stand until cool, and drink it
without sugar. This should be taken ev-
cry day, for several days, eating very
little solid food while taking the remedy.

Oakland Farm Notes

Especially to the Corn Club Boys;
Take good care of your corn boys.
Keep dust mulch by shallow
cultivation, Keep down the weeds.
A dust mulch acts just the same as
a mulch of straw or any thing else
that prevents rapid evaporation.
If you will pick up a board or a
fork full of trash that has lam in
one spot long time you will find
the ground damp beneath.
What's the reason of this? Can't
the water of the soil escape from
beneath the board or trash? Not
very well because it is sheltered
from The sun and wind. The water
rises in the soil by capillary
attraction. That's the same force
that makes oil rise In a lamp WICK,
When the water gets to the top OF
the soil the sun evaporates it, Oh
the wind blows it away. If any
thing lies on the top of the soil
neither the sun nor the wind car
get to the water to evaporate it
This is true when you maintain ;
dust mulch by shallow cultivation
The dust being dry and loose stop
the water from climbing out b,
capillary attraction. But yol
must not stir the soil too deep 70
you want the water to rise tC
within little way of the surface
three inch dust mulch is sufficient
Don't cultivate deep. If yor
prepared the seed bed right yol
will not need to cultivate deep.

A very few days after corn Is ~
1t seuoS out roots near the surface
The hrSt thing they do is to send
main roots in a perpendicular plane
within tour or FIVE inches of the
surface unless you have kept dust
mulch that has forced them to run A
little deeper to get water.
If you send big cultlvator
shovel down four or five inches
close to the plants you will cut off
these lateral roots and check the
growth. Within month after
planting these lateral roots have
met in the middle of the rows and

clear over into the next row. These

down deep-some two or three
feet. Maintain the dust mulch
then with surface cultivator such as
weeder a harrow or a fine toothed
cultlvator and run very shallow.
Remember you are not blowing
corn you are cultivating. 1t is
easier TO Kill weeds just as they
sprout by a weeder or harrow that
disturbs them that by cultivating
them out after they have formed
a root system.
1t takes 27O pounds of water to
make one pound of dry matter in
corn. Corn grain about 10 per

amount it takes to make hundred

1t requires great deal of water
during growth and some is sound
to escape by evaporation from the
soil, and as the root came in con.
tact with only small per cent of
water in the soil it is necessary tC

Then he would pile up another stone
