FERNS NEED SPECIAL CARE
Too Frequent Watering Of This sensi-
tive Plant, for Instance, Is to
Be Avoided.

Is your fern suffering from summer
complaint?
If it is you have failed to learn the

Of ferns, which is that too frequent
watering is not good for these delicate
plants. The Boston variety, or short,

receives the morning sun. 1t must
stand on a soft surface, sand in jar
diniere much larger than the fern pot
being one Of the best arrangements.
This allows it to get plenty of air, an
essential point in its care.
Do not water the fern more often
than every other day. Now and then
1t is best to wait three or four days,
as good dryout is most advisable.
Take the fern into the laundry or
basement and give it good bath
once or twice month.
Never let the temperature average
more than 70 in the room where the
fern is kept, a cooler atmosphere be-
ing better. Keep the plants free from
dry or dead leaves. If possible, place
the fern in shady place in the yard
for its summer outing; packing earth

which increases its growth.

I have ordered an +. w. Mann
green bone cutter and can obtain
all the green bone I want at little
expense. Is there danger of giving
too much? If so, about what
amount should L give 100 chick

good as commercial meat scraps?

ANSWER.
You will find the bone cutter a
very valuable addition to the poul-
try yard, especially when you can
not get the bone already ground.
There is nothing much better to
produce or to help keep your chick
ems in condition than green cut
bone fed every day if it can be had,
lust what they will eat up clean,
but do not feed any hog meat or
fat pork as it seems to be injurious
to chickens. Beef is all right ito
chickens and ducks and should
be fed all they will eat up
clean once each day if you can get
it at a reasonable price.
Green sprouted oats, or some
other kind of green food is very
essential in the successful keeping
of poultry. The oat sprouter is all
right. but if you have building
that you can keep the temperature
warm enough to make your oats
sprout it can be done in boxes. BY
taking one-half of a bucket of oats
and covering them with tepid
fwater, this will soften and start
termination in them nicely inside Of
twenty-four hours. They can then
be removed from the bucket and
placed in small boxes covered with
a sack and kept sprinkled twice
day. At the end of six to ten days
you have a nice solid mass of green
food that the chickens certainly en-
Joy. Green food of some kind is
very essential, in the successful
keeping of chickens.

stone Mountain, Ga.
I intend planting six or eight
acres in alfalfa next fall, say Sep
TENDER or October, and with that
object in view L ordered about two
months ago a car load of lime rock
(ground) which / intend to apply
before sowing oats this fall, but
on account of delay 1 am through
sowing oats. Please advise me
whether to apply lime on top of
ground this winter or wait until
next June and apply it when plant
ing pleas.
Any advice you can give me will
be highly appreciated.
w. ]. S.
ANSWER.
II would be best now to wait
until June or July when you plant
your peas and apply the lime on the
oat stubble. putting from two or
four tons per acre broadcast. Then
apply at least 1000 pounds of fer
tilizer per acre, and sow not less
than one and one-half bushel of
quick maturing speckled peas on
this land. They will be ripe by the
latter part Of August. You can then
ing of lime, say two tons per acre
after the peas have been removed
from the ground.
This land will then be ready to
harrow with a cutaway harrow,
but not over tire or four inches
deep, making a finely prepared seed :
bed by narrowing il several times,
and at the last narrowing, a few
fn
at least 1000 pounds of CONNER
cial fertilizer, a mixture Of 600
pounds of acid phosphate, 300
pounds of bone meal and 100 pounds
of potash should be sowed broad
cast and narrowed IN.
few days after this is done,
by running a tooth harrow over the
ground it will be ready to receive
the seed, and they should be plant
ed not later than the latter part of
September in north Georgia. The
last of August or first of Septem-
Der is really better
September is really the best
month to plant alfalfa in middle
and north Georgia. l have, how
ever, known it to do we'll when
planted in the spring, provided the
land was prepared during the pre-
ceding fall and that suitable wealth
err prevails during the early spring
and summer months. However, if
it is properly planted in September
it is a rare thing a failure is ever
made, if the necessary essentials
are given the land and it is plant
ed during this month. 1t is far
safer than spring planted alfalfa.
/ would advise you to wait until fall
and plant it now.
