Successful Cultivation.

Successful cultivation demands tw, things, good mechanical condition of the soil and proper richness. Never dig fresh manure into the soil just be fore planting If you have none which is well rotted and cannot get any, spread the fresh material thinly on top of the ground, between rows and plants and allow the rains to wash it in gradually If the soil has been cul tivated before and has plenty of de cayed vegetable matter in 1t. excellent results can be obtained from artificial fertilizers. Bone meal is good, but Is not a complete fertilizer. Wood ashes should be used with caution, as the large amount of lime they contain may do mischief The best Is what is known as a complete fertilizer. and should always be used carefully and exactly according to directions from the man you buy 1t of. Sheep manure is an excellent fertilizer.

FEED TO REGULATE SYSTEM
Value of Bran Is Not Generally Appre- clated by Poultry Raisers-
 To ForeteIl Sex.

The value uf bran as a poultry food Is not appreciated as it should be by poultry raisers. It Is rich in protein. It not being rich in carbohydrates it is of little value as a fattening food, but as a regulator of the system there is nothing better. The dry, f1aky bran, free from middlings, is to be preferred to bran that is rich in middlings or low-grade flour. In a mash it should be two parts bran to one part of each Of the other ingredients, and always by weight, not me&surement. Bran placed in small troughs, and kept constantly before the brooder chicks, will act wonderfully well in regulating the system of the chicks so that the cases of bowel trouble will be scarce.
 No one can foretell the sex of chicks while still an egg. It is known that eggs collected up in the early part of the season will predominate in males; also, when cock had only a very linn tied number of hens to fertilize. The reason Is that the cock in spring Is in full vigor. but becomes less vigorous as the season advances. If the male parent is old, and the females are young, more hens than cocks will be had; the contrary is true if the cock is young and the hens old
 As to the shape of the egg, it varies according to the age of the layers; thus, the eggs of bullets are smaller and more pointed than those of older hens. Long and pointed eggs do not give any more males than round ones. Some say that the egg produces a cock of its own if its crown or air space is horizontal; a hen, if it is oblique-that is, slanting. In our ex- perience we have not found such re- suits.

WHAT KIND OF LIME TO BUY
Difficult to Answer Question to Suit Needs of Each ndiVIduaI-Brief
 Summary Given.

A bulletin issued by the Massachu' setts experiment station on the use of lime in farming, says 1t is difficult to answer the question as to what kind of lime to buy to suit the needs of each individual; but in general the following brief statement may be made:
 l. Quick and hydrated lines are best suited to heavy clay soils, when 1t is desired to improve their mechan- ical condition.
 2. Carbonates in the form of finely ground limestone or mari work quite satisfactorily on light loams.
 8. Lime containing large percent ages of magnesia should not be ap- plied to soils deficient in carbonate of lime.
 4. Calcium of oxide costs the least in the form of quick or freshly burned lime but Is quite disagreeable to spread
 5. Slaked or hydrated lime can be spread with less discomfort than quicklime, but costs on an average 10 cents more per 100 pounds of calcium oxide.
 6. One hundred pounds of calcium oxide in the form of ground limestone costs at least 10 cents more than like amount in the form of mari or slaked lime, and some 25 cents more than in the form of quicklime.
 2. Lime is an aid to good farming but can not take the place of fertiliz- CTS, stable manure, thorough cultiva ton and proper crop rotation.

Child of Genius.

An actor was talking at the Play ers' Club in New York about David Belasco's skill as a stage manager.
 'Belasco," said the actor, has a superhuman sense of the harmonies, the illnesses of things. This enables him to carry out a stage scene to such small details as no man ever dreamed of before.
 'Belasco, even in his childhood. possessed this unique sense of har- mony. An uncle once gave him a couple of chocolate cigars, then said to the little boy:
 "'What are you going to do with them, David?'

Plant Secret,
RATES: From s1.oo

An old and experienced florist taught me many valuable and useful things in regard to plants. One of his tricks was that whenever he trans planted any flower or plant he always sifted steel filings into the new soil before he put in the plant. He ex- plained to me that the steel filings rusted when the soil was watered and that the rust made the plants grow rapidly. In the long time that I was associated with him never knew his method of treatment to fail.
