Good Roads
& EaT.M2N Notes

Test your seed corn before plant
ing.
Cold water is practically useless for
removing bacteria.
Weeds cause an annual loss of many
millions Of dollars.
The best fertilizer for the garden is
rotted stable manure.
Coarse manure from the horse stable
is the kind to put in the hotbed.
Good seed is one of the important
factors in the production OF good
crops.
When rhubarb grows rank and spin
ding it needs thinning out anG work
ing over.
The silo correctly used Will solve
the question of proti5 from 500 an
acre land.
The silo is the only safe and sure
way and the cheapest way 10 handle
the corn crop.
Generally speaking, the depth to
plant should be four times the diam
eter Of the seeds.
Know whether plant requires a
situation dry or moist, hot or cool,
sunny or shady to know where to put
that plant.
There are very few farms on which
additional labor expended in preparing
the seed bed would not yield hand
some returns.
Rotation of crops is one Of the SIM
pie, practical methods of increasing
the productivity of the farm and dis.
| tributing labor.

Getting Into Hard Soil.

In raising good crop it must be
conceded that traction farming is far
ahead of farming done with animal
power. 1t is well known fact and all
agricultural authorities agree that
deep blowing and the packing of the
subsoil produce a better crop than is
possible with the ordinary method Of
shallow blowing.
1t is almost an impossibility to plow
deep. with horses and the common
horse pillow because the entire outfit
is too light to get down into hard
soil. On the other hand, an engine
is heavy and strong enough to secure
good results. AT the same time it is
far cheaper, to plow with an engine
than il is to pillow with horses.

The Dinqo.

The dingo is a species of wild dog
found in Australia, and Is to that
country what the wolf is to eastern
Europe and the coyote to America.
Hunting in packs, he is perpetual
menace to Australia's chief indus
try, the breeding of sheep. Owing
to his cunning and swiftness the
dingo is able to hold his own tn
central Australia. and is likely to do
so for long time to come, notwith-
standing the fact that a generous
price is set upon his head by the gov
eminent.

She Was Very Constrained and Quiet.

From that moment Marcia had been all,
and Kate-a mere friend. He was too
chivalrous Of mind to have it come to
his mind that Kate might have cared.
She had been jolly, Kate.
Christmas cold and snow and good
cheer all passed. Stephen Wright
felt numb. His anger had left him,
and only helpless hurt remained. He
had given up going anywhere lest he
meet her, as he had done few times.
Once he had taken Kate, in the old
way, to little company. Marcia was
there Somehow she managed to
avoid even speaking to him, and early
in the evening went home with a
headache which he believed to be un-
real. Twice thereafter he met her on
the street. Her dark bright eyes
seemed not to see him. Then he re-
fused invitations from the set to
which they both belonged. He would
not trouble her nor torture himself.
That was bad winter. January
and February crawled by. March
came suddenly, unseasonably warm.
The SHOWS melted to rivers In the
streets. People caught colds, but an
electric shock Of vitality passed
through everything. Spring was on
the way.
On such an afternoon Stephen, his
face a little thin and drawn, left the
overwork of the office and strolled out
into the air. He began for the mil
lionth time to wonder why Marcia
had-then he stopped himself. That
way lay heartbreak and sort of mad.
ness. But-he still wanted an ex-
PLANTATION. He accepted dismissal;
that was her right. Perhaps when
summer came she would remember
and pity and send him a word. He
no longer had any pride in the mat

him.
The sun was hot, though the wind
was cold in the Swallowed places, and,
wandering about, he could no longer
control his worriment. He must find
distraction. . He turned aside to allow

Good seed corn is the key to get
