from shedding their spores on the

placing fresh manure on corn land
Changing corn land from year to year
also is beneficial.
Since the smut-masses that are left
in a corn field may assist in spread
ing the disease. they should be cut
out of the field during the growing
season. They should. moreover. be
cut out before they have fully opened
up and spread their spores. and
should be collected and burned. They
should not be thrown on the manure

carried back to the land
Rotation Of crops is valuable in pre-
venting corn-smut. The reason for
this is plain. The corn-smut in the
soil win not live many years and that
which is in the soil will not damage
any other farm crop. After several
years. corn may again be planted.
with less danger. since the smut IN
the soil will have at least partly
died out.
Seed treatment has not been found
to be Of any use The smut does not
get into the seeding plant. as in the
sinking smut of wheat. and hence
seed treatment does not seem neces-
sary.
The sugar corns seems to have
more smut than the field corns. though
no varieties even of the latter are
known that are free.

Hen Manure

Hen manure as fertilizer has
greater value than any other fertili-
zer on the farm. II is generally sup
posed by some pcultrymen that the
manure will pay for taking care of the
hens. but this depends much on how
It is kept. The dropping boards under
the roosts should be kept covered with
some absorbent to preserve the
strength Of the droppings Land plas.
ter or South Carolina rock is good.
Never use wood ashes or lime with the
poultry droppings. The ammonia, or
nitrogen would, be set free. and part
of the value of the fertilizer lost. The
droppings should not be applied TO the
soil as made, but used on a growing
crop. or covered soil. We use 1t on
corn by putting a handful on each hill
at the time Of last hoeing 1t should
be kept under cover until used.

UnfavorabIe Soils.

Clay soils are unfavorable to vege
tation because the soil is too close and
adhesive to allow the free passage OF
air or water to the roots OF the plants.
It also obstructs the expansion OF the
fibres OF the roots. Sandy soils arc
unfavorable because they consist o.
PARTICLES that have too little adhesion
to each other. They do not retain suf-
flcient.moisture for the nourishment OF
the plants They allow too much SO
lar heat to pass to the roots. Chalk
soils are unfavorable because they do
not absorb the solar heat. and are,
therefore. cold to the roots Of the
nlants.

The best location for the hotbed is
on the south side of the building, a

little longer than the bed is to be.
The inside dimensions for a bed 6

one at the side.
On the side of each window frame
there was a small brass hook not

her mother brought from the closet
a cretonne bag, out of which she

just the right size to go from one

contrary, when used in canning with

Very few houSekeepers have given

The amount of sugar to be given
children and in what form is SURELY
OF great importance. Sugar would
seem to be a food especially good for
children because of their great ac-
| t1vity. Children must have some
sugar in their food and it is a natural
craving. A child year old who get a
two quarts of milk a day has three
ounces of milk sugar. A child even
IN Its second year, If allowed to taste
sweets in any form, loses the taste
for milk which contains such a deli
cate flavor of sweets. / would also

same reason the giving of large
amounts of sugar in cakes, cookies.

avoided.

when once perverted the restoring OF
the normal appetite is difficult. Keen

In this manner the whole diet Of
