10 see her and take her TO shows and
treat her well. She tells me she likes
me and yet she does not want me to
love or kiss her. She goes to high
school and lives In another town Tell
me truiy-does she love me? / even
give her money TO buy things between
times. Should l do this? She is a
respectable girl.

not want me TO save any. She takes
II all but two dollars a week and
can easily use that. DO you think
she should let me save two dollars
a week al least?
On The surest proof that this girl
IS respectable is that she won't let
you kiss and love her. You would
soon get tired OF her and think she is
like any cheap girl II she let you do
as YOU want TO. Better stick 10 her
II you love her. though l think you
are both too young 20 think OF mar
rage now. or even 10 engage your
selves TO marry. Give the girl
chancs to find another man whom
she might really love. In two or
three years you will probably not
care for her at all, but have an en-
tirely different ideal.
Il is wrong 10 give her money 10
buy things for herself. \ boy should
never give money 10 a girl. nor
girl 10 a boy. II is only when they
are married that a man should give
his wife money and then he should
share everything equally with her.

she needs your money for her sup /
port As you are still under age. I
your parents have the legal right to I

one way Of solving the many inter-
csting and puzzlinG problems in the
soil and plant kingdom is by an eX-
pertinent plot. Here light may be OBJ
tanned as to the natural peculiarities of
soil. or the special effects of fertilizer
on certain crops. or in what degree to
supplement stable manure for fertilz
er, or under what fixed conditions the
ambitious garden lover may obtain the
most gratifying results for flowers and
vegetables In starting this minia-
ture farm. then, use substantial stakes
at the corners of the plot and mark
them plainly 1, >, 3, 1, 5, 6, leaving a
space Of two feet between each two
plots to prevent the plants on one plot
from feeding on the other Make each
plot by "A feet and plant the same
crop on all the different plots. Take
winter potatoes, for example. on
plot 1 spread 10 pounds of dried blood
and ; pounds acid phosphate mixed
CWhcrc the amount used is so small it
can be distributed more evenly by mix
ing it with its weight in earth); on
plot 2 spread ~ pounds sulphate Of
potash and dried blood mixed; on plot
use no fertilizer; on plot use re
pounds potash and 10 pounds acid
phosphate mixed; on plot use IA
pounds potash, - pounds acid phos-
phate and 10 pounds dried blood. and
on plot use only stable manure. Take
great care not to SOW any fertilizer on
the spaces between the plots, and aft
er the fertilizer has been spread har-
row the plots thoroughly lengthwise.
COMPARING THE PLOTS.
The blank plot 3 must not in any
/ way be overlooked or neglected, for
with it are to be compared all the 9TH
er plots in order to see just what have
been the benefits derived from fertiliz-
ing. To make clear what such an eX-
pertinent may teach, suppose, for in
! stance, the Weld on plot 3. where no
fertilizer was applied, is represented
/ by the number 700; the yield on plot |
| by the number $50; on plot . 100; on
/ +, 140; on 8, 175. with these numbers
it is proved each of the three fertiliz-
! ers is beneficial, for were it otherwise
/ the yield on plot ., where all the fer
tilizers were used, would not have

on each of which only two fertilizers
we're used. 1t is always of Importance
to keep a notebook, jotting down ev-
lerything of interest concerning the
plots (suCh as measuring each sepa-
/ rate yield>, and information gained

1t is natural with new work being done

criticism is with the expense for detec-

Where Justice took control,
