BUCkWHEAT IS BEST
GRAIN FOR POULTRY
Chickens and Turkeys Allowed to
Harvest Crop TrampIinQ

(By A. ]. LEGal

(By A. ]. LEGG)
Buckwheat is the best grain crop
that we have ever tried to furnish q
foragfng ground for poultry.
I SOW late in July and allow the
chickens and turkeys to harvest it.
They are all the better for the exer-
else and the only cost is for the seed
and work of preparing the soil and
sowing It.
Late in last July sowed about one
acre where the chickens and turkeys
could have free access. They began
to work on it as soon az the grains
were filed and were at work on it for
nearly two months.
II 1t is trampled down on the ground
the grains will not damage unless It IL
warm enough to sprout them. Buck
wheat will lie on the ground all win
ter and grow in the spring.
A buckwheat stubble makes an sx.
cellent feeding ground for poultry dur
ing pleasant days throughout the fall
and winter season and the poultry en-.
Joy the exercise.
Our hens. pullets and September
Matched chicks are all in fine condi.
tion. largely due to the buckwheat
to which they have free access.

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS
BY MRS. JOHN FIELD.


Hardy bulbs should be planted al
early in the fall as possible.
Dealers will not begin sending out
bulbs much before the latter part
of September. Early orders get the
best bulbs.
The best soil for bulbs for the
house Is a rich loan mixed with sand.
If too heavy, add turfy matter to
tighten it.
Always choose a well-drained 10
cality for your bulb.seed; If not nat
urally So put at least six inches of
broken crockery, pieces Of brick. old
shoes, old bones. and the like in the
bottom of the bed.
Never take bulbs out of the package
the florist sends them in until you
are ready to plant them Do not
leave them exposed to the light or
air, as this will cause loss of moisture
and weaken vitality.
The scales of lily bulbs often be.
come soft and flabby when exposed
TO the air, because of the evaporation
Of the sap, which is the life blood OF
the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened,
and hardly worth planting. Put all
bulbs in the cellar or in dark, cool
place until ready to plant.
Many plants will grow we'll in an
ordinary window in winter, but the
humber that will soften freely under
such conditions are few and need
special preparation. Many failures
are due to an unwise selection Of
'sinds, as we'll as to the extremes of
heat to which the ordinary room is
subjected.
September is a good time to root

As Seeing the Invisible.

No great purpose has ever been
achieved by any individual until his
spirit has first gone out into some
wilderness solitude and there discov-
cred its native strength, its absolute
invincibility when II relies upon no
help but that of God. This is the
experience of all the greatest among
men. They go apart from their fell
lows for awhile, like Moses, into the
land Of INDIAN, or like our Lord him
self into the wilderness, or like st.
Paul into the Arabian desert, and
there, in solitary communion with
God, from that highest of all compan-
ionshfps, they drink in strength to
fit them for the wcSk of our lives.
Alone with God, they see visions
which fill their souls, visions which
never fade afterward even in the
light Of common day, but which serve
as beacon lights to guide them,
through storm and darkness, tin the
purpose Of their lives is fulfilled

To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally and you will have
the blooms in the room as we'll. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the ferns
in shady corner; a north window is a
good place.
Use as dry material only we'll rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa.
tering has been done, take an ordinary
barrel containing one-half bushel Of
fresh COW dung and if extra strength
be required add a couple of quarts Of
fresh hen manure and cover with wa.

After 1t has been fermented thor.
oughly the coarse material will all set.

For this process sand is generally
used. or very light soil, as most favor

Heavy feeding does not always pro.
