GOOD ADVICE

The form which good dairy cattle
possess results from the milk-pro-
ducing functions which they develop.
There are four main centres of activ
ity: the digestive system, the milk
secreting system or udder, the cir
culatory system and the nervous sys-
tenn. To produce large quantities of
milk 1t is necessary that cow Tor
a bull If he becomes the sire OF COWS
capable of producing a large guam
tity of milk have these systems well
developed. Good producing cows and
good dairy sires invariably have good
dairy form, because It is the high
degree of development of these parts
known as the digestive, secretive, cir
culatory and nervous systems which
give the dairy animals tho dairy
form.

FsrtllIzlnr Flower BEDS.

chicken-yard, and in the spring had

in in the annual beds. This sum

that the fertilizer I had used might
not be conducive to ,blossoming. Is
this true or is it possible to use too
much? w. A. M.

It is probable that the inquirer
used too much hen manure. which
is rich in nitrogen and phosphortc
acid, but relatively poor in potash
and produced a lush foliage growth.
but only few blooms. 1t is ad-
vised that no hen or stable manure

spread of powdered lime, at the rate
of about thirty bushels Zone toni TO

spring, and spaded in, and that, at
ter the spadlng, a spread of pure
ground bone and of wood-ashes, SUI
ficient to color the surface OF the
soil, be applied separately, and raked
into the soil. The lime will remove
any acidity of soil. the ground bone

tional advantage in using these Ter
tilizers, that they would introduce no
weed seeds.
Bringing Window Boxes Into House.
We have five or six window-boxes
which we have enjoyed all summer.
We want to bring some of the gera-
NUNS into the house this fan. II
this Is not practical, should like to be
informed how best to care for the en-
tire box or boxes through the win
ter. N. A. II.
Newark.
Boxes of mixed plants which have
been growing in the open air during
the summer rarely give satisfactory
results when brought into the dwell
ing house, or greenhouse even, for
the winter. If the plants in such
boxes are In fairly good condition
the following spring. they will not
give so good results during the sum-
rer as boxes flied with new plants.
If the inquirer would like to save
some of the geraniums, he should ll1t
them out of the boxes with gar
den trowel, cut back all of the
4
inches of the main stalk, making the
plant in SO doing as symmetrical as
possible, shake the old soil off from
the roots in such a way as not 10
break them or. better still. wash 1t
off. He should not, however, hest
tate to trim off with sharp knife
all broken roots. or to shorten such
roots as are so long as to be incon-
venient in reporting. The geraniums
should be set out in five or six
inch pots (no larger), filled with
rich soil, with some broken pots or
charcoal at the bottom to insure
drainage, watered so as to saturate
both soil and pot, and set in a warm.
shady place indoors, and afterward
watered very sparingly until the
plant breaks into new growth. Az
ter that, it should be placed where
it will receive the full light. The
nlant should bloom during the win
fer freely, and be useful to set out
in the bed or border, or, when again
cut back severely, to use in plant
box.
