flying for these young girls have learned
some thing about the possibilities OF
growing and canning products of the
most wholesome character for human
nutrition. They have learned the posi-
bilities of a small piece of. land. They
have found out much about fertilizers,
soils and crop cultivation. They have
come to appreciate more fully their own
power as constructive elements in our
civilization. They see now quite clearly
how they may earn pin money for them
selves, and. even have a surplus, after
buying many of the little articles which
their feminine hearts no doubt crave, to
put in the savings bank. The possibili-

be more serviceable to the community.
To teach the girls how to know and util-
ize some of the physical forces Of nature
by which they are surrounded to be-
come potent in the environment in which
they exist; to learn something of the Ia
Dor and effort involved in crop produc-
ton; and to ascertain how to preserve
and care for the fruits of their labor so
as to add to their. earning capacity, are
certainly things well worthy of accom-
plishing. These things can not detract
from life but rather add much to it, be-
cause they bring into play latent powers
for achievement which might otherwise
have lain dormant throughout the period
of their existence. That this work is
destined to exert a powerful and whole

PREPARING BEACH AND BOTTOM

unze il for corn. 1 can use 'elght or
more tons OF stable manure per- acre

What kind of corn will be best for me
to use?
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-01-19

Evidently you have bottom land, and
owing to it's situation, it Is no doubt
much above the average in fertility,
though it may be low in vegetable mai
ter and stiff. and difficult to work on
that account. Sandy land need not be
plOwed as deeply as clay land which
should be broken as deeply as possible
Subsoiling would not be advisable after
the large amount of rain which has
fallen. The land should not be plowed
until it is in proper condition for break
ing Flowing land when wet is to be
avoided at all hazards, as it only com
pacts the lower soil and makes the top
soil difficult to pillow and handle for sew
eral years thereafter On sandy land it
would be better for you to use a fer
tilizer containing a little more phos-
phorus and potash than on clay land On
clay land you might use about a '9-3-4,
and on sandy land, a 1855. OF course,
this land will be benefited by vegetable
matter as all lands in Georgia are de-
ficient in this material Compost ma
terial of any kind will be helpful, and
yard manure at the rate of two to
eight tons per acre will be found bene-
fetal Personally, where there is only
a small amount of vegetable matter we
would be in favor of putting it under
the drill row, but where there is large
quantity broadcast it on the land and
work it in with large disk. Plant the
corn in rows four feet apart. AS you are
familiar with the character of stalk
which the corn makes, you can judge
better whether this is too close. or not.
Ordinarily corn should be planted from
four to five feet, and from II to IS inches
in the drill row, depending on the
strength of the land. You should use not
less than 500 to 700 pounds of CONNER
cial fertilizer under the drill row, and
one side application of 200 pounds per
acre will probably be advisable. Nitrate
of soda may or may not be required
This can only be determined by the
character of growth, which of course
will be affected much by seasonal condi-
tons. If the color of the corn is not a
deep green and there should be periods
of stagnation, due to dry spells or 9TH
er unfavorable conditions, it will proba-
billy be advisable to use 100 pounds of
nitrate of soda as a top dressing, put
ting it on when the corn is about waste
high.

TREATMENT OF A DIFFICULT
MIXER.

c., Marietta, Ca. writes: I have a
cow that is very hard to milk. She has
large teats, but the holes are SO small
that the stream is not much larger than
a sewing thread, and it hurts her when
1 squeeze her teats hard. Would like
to know If there is anything that can
be done for her.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1912-01-19

About the only thing you can do to
overcome the difficulty in milking your
COW would be to make some small round
wooden pegs, and insert them into the
openings of the milk ducts after each
milking. The pegs should not be more
than couple of inches long, and should
be madeSo of hard wood. They should not
be too pointed on the end and should
be perfectly smooth Grease them with
vaseline or fresh fard before inserting
them into the milk duct. If this fails
to give any relief II the only other in
strument you could use with advantage
would be a milking tube. These may
be ordered through your druggist or local
veterinarian. These instruments should
be used with judgment and care, as
sometimes through their indiscriminate
use the duct is opened so widely that 1t
results in injury to the sphincter muscle
situated just at the end of the teat1
and as a result the opening becomes so
enlarged that the milk leaks out. More
over injury to the udder may often re-
suit from the careless use of milking
tubes. If you cannot find a means of
drawing the milk through some simple
remedy, as herewith suggested, it would
be best to dispose Of the COW.

PURCHASING LIME AND PHOS-
PHATEl ROCK

GOINSI1AOl1NG LIME AMI II1OO-
PLATE ROCK.
w. E. ", Dunbar, Ca, writes: I wish
to purchase a car of lime and a car of
phosphate. rock. have received a price
of $S15 per ton delivered on Fertilime,
and s6.75 per ton delivered for ground
phosphate rock. Should 1 not be able
to buy lime cheaper than this? Do you
advise using rock phosphate?
The price quoted you for lime appears
to be unusually high. We are unac-
quainted by what is meant as Fertilime.
Lime is not a fertilizer in any sense of
the word. 1t is a sell. amendment and
corrective, improving the physical con-
dition of heavy land5 aiding the devei-
opment of nitrogen gathering bacteria,
correcting acidity, and aiding in setting
free certain forms of plant food which
may not have been in an available form.
1t may be an indirect plant food in that
the calcium il contains is sometimes de-
ficient in certain soils, and, therefore,
the growth of the crop on that particu-
lar land is retarded by the absence of
this essential element of plant food. Sit
uated as you are, it would be better to
confer with several producers of lime
and see If they will not furnish It at
a lower cost. t:1E
There are two forms Of lime which
may be purchased and used in Georgia.

Doubtless God could have made @
better berry; but doubtless God eve
did.
When the berries are plentiful, q
dish of fresh fruit Is most acceptable
as a dessert or o salad. When the
berries must serve a number, the fol-
lowing combination Is we'll liked: Cut
into quarters a few marshmallows, a
few strawberries and a banana or two,
cover with the dressing and allow to
stand an hour to season. The dress
ing to be used for this kind Of a salad
Is better If rather sweet. Equal parts
of egg yolk and vinegar cooked to-
gether, then seasoned with any de-
sired condiments and sugar and
whipped cream added to taste makes
q most desirable salad dressing, which
may be kept Indefinitely, adding the
seasonings just before using. II there
are several whites OF eggs and a few
yolks to use in the dressing, whip the
whites before adding to the dress
ing.
II a green dressing is desired for
color, chop g. little parsley until very
fine, put it in a bowl and rub 1t with
the back OF q spoon until reduced to
a paste. A drop or two Of alcohol will
help in making 1t smooth. Add to the
dressing.
A very delicious dessert may be pre-
pared by serving angel food that has
been baked In a sheet, then cut In
squares and Strawberries and whipped
cream heaped on each.

not only attractive to the eye as well
