SOWING SEEDS TOO THIckLY
Practice Should Be Discouraged as
overcrowdino Undermines CuIti-
walton Of Plants.
CIV w. r.

10y w. II. GlLbEftI.)
Thick sowing must be guarded
against. Each seed should have room
to grow without crushing or ~injuring
its neighbor.
Over-crowding undermines the Guilt
walton of plants at the start and it is
long before. if ever, they outgrow it.
or course, small plants or seeds may
be own more thickly than the larger
ones. but relatively they ought really
not to be sown thicker.
Each plant should have sufficient
room to develop it's coyledons and one
leaf before it is thinned or pricked
out.
Every year vegetable crops are much
injured by being sown too thickly and
perhaps it is hardly too much to affirm
that most gardeners would be the
gamers were only half the seed sown
that there is now.
AS to what to SOW the seed in, the
lighter the seed bed the better.
Few seeds will vegetate in q lower
temperature than 40 degrees and in
the range of 20 degrees all seeds will
grow.

in the pail so as to permit circulation
of water and prevent humping of the
bottles. An accurate thermometer
should be placed in the water or in
n of the bottles. Set the bottles Of
milk in the pail and fill with water
nearly level with the milk in the bot
ties. Place the pail with the milk
bottles on the stove and heat until the
thermometer indicates a temperature
of from $50 to 100 degrees F. The

moved from the stove and allowed to

Rape Seeding.

In seeding rape broadcast from
three to five pounds of seed are re
quired to the acre. If sown in drills
from N to two pounds Of seed are
sufficient. The quality and condition
of the soil will give the exact amount,
lighter seed being used on rich and
seed bed should be fine, firm and
moist.
A light top dressing Of manure may
be applied and the crop responds very
readily to such treatment. AS a soil
ing crop, 1t is desired to secure all
the growth possible, SO the more
perfect we can make the conditions
the greater will be the results.

DANGER OF BLIND STAGGERS
Kansas Experiment Station Finds DIE
ease Caused by Poison in Mold
and Filth on Corn Ears.

Information coming from widely
separated places show hat the corn
ear worm is causing injury and death
to farm animals by injecting them
and giving them blind staggers. Fol-
lowing Is an extract from an article
in Farm and Ffreside:
For five or six years occasional out
breaks of blind staggers in horses
have attracted attention. During this
time the Kansas experiment station
has been making an experimental
study of this disease and it's origin.
Its exact cause is still only partially
understood, but enough has been
learned to place the blame safely on
poison in the mold and filth found
on ears damaged by the corn-ear
worm.
The eggs of the adult insect aus
ing this trouble are laid in the husks
of the young ear. After Matching the
ear-worm burrows through the soft
young kernels, leaving, it's filth,
which, with the escaping juices of
the corn, furnishes the best possible
medium for the development Of the
seed mold and putrid decay. Sufi-
cient Of this poisonous material re-
mains in the corncobs and corn to
cause a gradual poisoning of the
horses consuming any considerable
quantity of the damaged corn.
The loss of horses in Kansas and
a number of other states from blind
staggers has been found to be incur
able. even by a skilled veterinarian,
unless the treatment is begun early.

Cause Of ."whlte comb.n

white comb" in fowls is caused by
decayed food. impure water and over
crowding in dark and filthy houses.
There is a scurfy appearance to the
comb and wattles, head and neck, with
a gradual loss of feathers from the
head and neck. Treatment consists in
removing to clean quarters and giving
wholesome food. At night give a tea
spoonful of castor oil, after which add
daily a teaspoonful of good condition
powder to the soft, food, and anoint
the head and afflicted parts with vas
cline. The castor oil need only be
given once.

cuItlvatino Corn.

The purposes of ~interculture tillage
are, first, to kill weeds; second, to
keep the surface soil receptive to
rainfall; third, to prevent the evap-
grafton Of soil moisture. C%ultivating
corn four inches deep. as compared
with two inches deep, may reduce the
yield ten per cent, owing to pruning
the roots. Four or five CIVILIZATIONS
are usually sufficient.
More frequent civilizations have not
been shown to increase the yield
when the soil is not unduly compacted
from heavy rainfall, provided it is free
from weeds.

Eaa.Laxlna CONTEXT.

Egg laying contests are now being
carried on in many states of the union,
and they are serving as an excellent
stimulus to the utility side of the
poultry industry. While they never
have and never will prove that one
breed or variety Is superior to all
others, they do prove conclusively that
careful breeding in certain strains or
families Of fowls increase the egg pro-
duction ava above the average, and
thus boosts the returns to even larger
proportions.

the way OF It: The snufE-box was

Baron James de Rothschild, as q token

Value Of Smudoe Pot.

S%mudging is practiced in many sec

to save the fruit crops from frosts.
There are localities in the southwest
where this is practical to some ex-

would be profitable In eastern and
northern orchards, where fruit Is
raised for commercial purposes.

Great value should be placed on the
liquid excrement, says the American
Cultivator. Some arrangement should
be made for its entire preservation

MEMORY
Since Leaving on Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug-cafeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the erves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes a good
memory nearly impossible.
II am nearly seventy years old and
did not know that coffee was the
cause of the stomach and heart trou.
