in the top of the concrete for counter
sinking the sash to the level of the

done by temporarily imbedding in the

PAYS TO FERTILIZE MEADOW
Increase in the Yield of Hay Estimat-
ed From Three-Quarters to One
Ton Per Acre.

Several years ago when cutting hay
next to a patch Of wheat in the same
field, /. e., there was no fence between,
| noticed that the hay adjoining the
wheat was much heavier in widths of
n drill than elsewhere, writes f. Z.
GerlaCh in the Michigan Farmer; in
fact. there was so much difference
that | began to study out the reason,
which explained itself simply enough.
In drilling the wheat the fall be
fore with $50 pounds of 2:8:2 ferti-
lizer per acre, and running the drill
out on the meadow, there would be
from two to four feet of meadow fer
tilted while in going back the drill
would not be set in gear until at the
edge of the wheat field, consequently
every other width of the drill would
show a marvellous difference in the
grass.
This set me to thinking that It
would be good Investment to fer
tilize meadows, and the following fall
| fertilized five acres with the same
result. raising the disks and drilling
the fertilizer over the top. and since
then we have been doing 80, and /
am satisfied we harvest from three
quarters to one ton Of hay per acre
more where we use the fertilizer
The fertilizer can be Rown late In the
fall before the snow covers the
ground or in the early spring

We'll" said the lawyer, ct is
against the law in this state to kill
rabbits in the closed season, which
Includes the summer months, and you
can't shoot them at any time without
a license"
We'll s'posin' they get into my can
taloupes. Can't shoot EN- for tres
passin'?"
NO, you can't shoot a rabbit for
trespassing. The only thing you can
do is to have him arrested"
IF he comes into my house | can
shoot him, can't -"
Not unless he breaks in. If you
leave the door open and he walks in
you must not shoot him. But if he ac-
cidentally falls into pot of boiling
water you can make soup of him, l
suppose"
1T seems to me the rabbit has a
great advantage over me. He can eat
my cantaloupes and cabbages, but l
can't do anything with him"
You can scare him if you wish
You can shoot at him. but you must
not hit him. The rabbit has this ad
vantage over the cantaloupe, tOo-if
you shoot at the rabbit and hit can
taloupe it is all right No harm done
But if you shoot at a cantaloupe and
hit rabbit 1t is fine and imprison-
ment
However. in the open season all
you have to do Is get a license and
you can go and shoot rabbits or can
taloupes either.
AS you see, you will then have all
the advantage. You can get a license
and the rabbit cannot. and you can

TEACHING PUPILS TO SPELL
New York Newspaper Thinks That
Possibly There Is an Error in
the Present Process

So much has been said and printed
about the very independent way pupils
in school now spell-of course, there
we're always bad spellers-that the
reason for it should be known. A
dozen or more years ago a new
method of teaching spelling was de-
Vlsed and from one end of our educa-
forbidden country to the other was
practiced and favorably reported on. 1t
was called disqualification" and meant
that a mental picture was certainly
impressed on "the childs" mind by
merely looking at the word. 1t never
occurred to the visualizers that the
child" had always looked at the word,
and that the drill they proposed to do
away with was all there was to the
spelling lesson.
Many a misunderstanding word has
been OF service to expert educators in
this way. Interallis, laboratory, eff
cient, to function, to sense, vital, prog
ress, apperoeive. and correlate; twas
