sods and one part of sharp, fine sand.
| The manure should be thoroughly rot
ted, but it should not have been ex-
posed to the weather and the strength
leached out of it. The addition of leaf
mold or peat will tend to make the
soil better adapted for seed-bed pur-
poses Mix all the ingredients together
in heap, stirring we'll with a shovel,
after which the soil should be sifted
and placed in boxes or in the bed
ready for sowing the seed.
Weed seeds and the spores of fun
gous diseases that are present in the
soil for a seed bed may be killed by
placing the soil in pans and baking it
for an hour in a hot oven.
The seed bed should never be al
lowed to become dry, but great care
should be taken that too much water
is not applied. Plants require the ac-
ton of air upon their roots and an
excess of water in the soil will exclude
the air. Too frequent and heavy wa
terings will cause the damping-off of
the seedlings.
A few hours before removing plants
from the seed bed or plant bed they
allowed to soak into the soil. This will
insure a portion of the soil adhering
to the roots and prevent the plants
from whiting. If the plants have been
properly thinned or transplanted 1t is
often possible to run knife or trowel
between them, thus cutting the soil
into cubes that are transferred with
them to the garden.
Where the soil does not adhere to
the roots of the plants it is we'll to
puddle them. In the process of pud-
ding, a hole is dug in the earth near
the plant bed, or large pail or pan
may be used for the purpose, and a
thin slime, consisting of clay, COW
manure, and water, is prepared. The
plants are taken in small punches and
their roots thoroughly coated with
this mixture by dipping them up and
down in the puddle few times. Pud-
ding insures a coating of moist earth
over the entire root system of the
plant. prevents the air from reaching
the rootlets while on the way to the
garden, and aids in securing direct
contact between the roots and the soil.
In parts of the country where the
sunshine is extremely hot during a
part of the summer, some plants, es-
pecially those that are grown for salad
purposes, are benefited by shading.
Shading is often used in the care of
small plants when they are first trans
planted
Where boards are available they can
be used for protecting plants that have
been set in rows in the garden by
placing them on the south side of the
row at an angle that will cast shad-
CIV over the plants, and holding them
in place by short stakes driven in the
ground Laths, wooden Stats, cotton
cloth, or shaded sash are frequently
used to protect plant beds from the
heat of summer.

low ridge and with a deeply planted
level culture.
In the three-year experiment COM
pairing the usual method practiced
with deeper planting of seed and the
lower, broader ridge commonly used
there showed that so far as yield was
concerned there was nothing to choose
IN that locality between the two meth
DDS. The deep planted and medium
planted gave practically the same
yields at Highmoor Farm, with a
slight advantage in favor of the me-
dunn planted. The medium planted,
medium ridge gave considerably bet
ter yields at Highmoor Farm than the
shallow planted and high ridge. 1t
was found that the deep ridge was
cultivated as cheaply as the shallow
ridge and was harvested nearly as
easily. The deep planted are Guilt
waited et less cost than either of the
two otasrt methods, but are far more
difficult to harvest.
The results indicate that for Aroos-
took County the shallow planted, high
ridge is well suited to the climatic
conditions They also clearly indicate
that for the lower counties in the
State with their lesser rainfall dur
ing the growing season the medium
planted with the broad low ridge Gull
tivation is preferable to either the high
ridge or the level culture.
