Sandy Soils Need Humus.

The addition of vegetable matter to
sandy soils is very important since it
is needed to increase their water hold
ing capacity as well as to add fertility.
Water is often the limiting factor N
the production of sandy soils, due t.
their coarse texture and lack of veg
etable matter. To prevent winds blow
ing sand the land may be laid out in
long, narrow fields with alternate grass
and cultivated crops. Protection wind
breaks of pines or other trees are eff
fective for short distances.
Legumes are beneficial to sandy soils
because they supply the much needed
nitrogen as well as humus. Peat can
be used to advantage as nitrogen fer
tilizer where a supply is readily avail
able. The use of lime on sandy soils,
which are very commonly acid, will
aid in securing stand of alfalfa and
clovers. incubation Is also usually
necessary to grow good crops of le-

Cattle Poisoning.

Again reports are coming in regard

Every year this plant takes its fearl"

and most of them died before they

cient to produce death. Yet this same
sorghum is perfectly. harmless if cui

Under conditions where the growth
is retarded the plant seems to elabo-

the stomach of cattle produces hydro

No treatment is known that is of any

FRESH GROUND
BONE FOR HENS.
Valuable Supplementary Feed
For Poultry.

Hens require lime to make eggshells.
and, while there is small amount of
lime in the composition of al, grain, it
is not there in sufficient quantity to
make the shells needed to cover the
eggs. Something. therefore. must be
given the hens to make eggshells- This
is frequently furnished in the shape Of
lime or old plaster or oyster shells.
But even with these accessories hens
frequently lay eggs with soft shells.
This is because there Is still something
lacking In order to make the shells
hard. Green bone fed to hens supplies
this lack. The mineral matter fed to
chickens in bones is also valuable in
the development of their own bones
and in growing their feathers and even
in the making of their flesh. But more
than anything else is the protein ele-
ment the hen gets from the bone for
the making of the body Of the egg.
Grain feeding alone will not answer
for this purpose. because grains are de-
ficient in this protein element. The
bone, therefore. is most valuable sup
Elementary food. 1t enters into the
making and growth of. all the fowls
and affords them an excellent tonic.
But it is especially valuable for the
hens. 1t makes sure of the eggs.-Kan-

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Red Clover In Rotation.

One reason for the great popularity
of the red clover plant is the ease
with which it lends itself to the rota-
tions which have been practiced IN
the sections to which it is adapted
The fact that it lives but two years
necessitates rather short rotation or
the farm. especially when the clover
is seeded alone,
Meadows and pastures containing
clover and grass mixed are usually
held three or four years. even though
very little clover may remain during
the last year or two. The value Of
red clover on the farm makes 1t usu-
ally desirable that considerable
area of the farm be at all times seed
|. ed to this crop.

shown as result of a thirty year
test that corn on land continuously
has produced twenty-five bushels to
the acre. corn alternated with oats

gave yield OF fifty-nine bushels for

NOVEL SUITS
FOR SPRING WEAR
Short Goats and ServlceabIe
Materials Are the Rule.

In commenting on the advance
showing Of spring suits prepared by
the fashion designers the Dry Goods
Economist says:
The suits presented show the slen-
der silhouette, which continues to be
fashionable. All Of the suit coats are
short. In fact, practically nothing in
the market exceeds twenty-six inches:
All of the suit coats shown are Of the
straight line type, though some of
them have the belted effect. either
simulated or actual.
The low one side lap with the some
what high closing In front is also a
characteristic feature. The sleeves are
almost without exception full length or
seven-eighths. The former is shown in
practically all of the tailored style. In
the garments that are more of novel
ty character the -eighths length
sleeve is employed
The materials for the suits are
worsted serges In navy blue and
white. both plain color and hairline
stripes. in staples and novelty weaves.
also whipcords and bedfords. Taffeta
has a good showing among the higher
grade suits. but the cost of the mate
rial so far has kept taffeta out of the
lower priced suit lines.
Many Of the suits show lace as a
facing for collars and revers. while
others have ratine and cotton agaric.
Button and buttonhole trimmings are
also much in evidence. as also are
fatty stitched folds and shirred cord
ings made fron-splf materials. The
latter are special feature of taffeta
models.

Be Gentle With Cows.

The milk cow must be treated with
kindness at all times. A cow that is
always in fear of her attendant cannot
possibly make her best record. The
good mixer is a highly nervous ami
NAL, and harsh treatment will cause
a falling off in milk yield. At no time
should dog be allowed to run the
cows, and noise and blows should be
avoided. The COW should feel perfect
~ safe in the care of the man whose
duty it is to look after her welfare.
She should have confidence in him, and
he should treat her in such manner
that she is induced to seek his pres
