Furrow the ground for planting and
distribute in the row. A good method
is to put the fertilizer in a tight bag,
swing it over the shoulder and make
a small hole in the lower corner that
will let the fertilizer run as the work
man walks along the furrow. Then
drag a log chain along the bottom Of
the furrow to mix the fertilizer with
the soil and to straighten the row.
Where the field is large enough to
justify the use of a common two horse
corn cultivator attach chains to the
stocks and let them drag in the fur
rows. When applications of fertilizers
exceed 500 pounds per acre broadcast
and harrow in one-half and put the
other half in the row.-National Stock

Good Grape TreIIis That May Be Too
Expensive For Commercial Use.


A grapevine trellis described by the
Rural New Yorker, from which this
cut and this description are repro
duced has a middle wire which goes
through holes in the posts. The mid
die slot sets down over the middle
wire, while the two outside wires run
through slots in the cross arm two
inches from the ends. The cross arms
are l by inches for all but end cross
arms, which are 2 by 4 inches. The
cross arms are nailed to the posts and
should also be braced by wire run
ming from the ends of the cross arm
and then down around the post eight
cen or twenty inches below the arm.
The stem of the vine is brought to a
height a little above the level of the
middle wire and tied to it.

in the Forthcoming engagement NJ the
famous Northland story of "Thelma. "
This world-read book will be presented
in dramatic form at Reynolds Opera

most effective OF Marie Corellis lighter
stories, and it lends itself to the dram
atist's scheme, making il faultless
play. 1t is a Norwegian tale, with a
dash OF the weird mysticism OF the old
Vikings, the Gods Odin and Thor. The
beautiful love story of Thelma and Sir
Phillip Errington, their marriage and
Thelma's unhappy life in London and
the return OF Thelma, heart-broken, to
her old home in the Alten Fiord, Nor
way, followed by her husband to her
snow-covered home and their happy
reconciliation by the light OF the mid
night sun, all presented by a company
OF competent players and mounted with
special scenery for every act.
A powerful Side story embraces the
picturesque figure of Olef Cudmer,
Thelmas father, descendant Of the
Viking Norsemen. Later he is stabbed
to death by the witch and he goes be-
fore he dies aboard his Morse sea boat,
sets it afre and drifts down the. stream
