BE KINDER 10 YOURSELF
Women Are Often Victims OF Nervous
ness Because They Don't Knew
How TO Relax.

One of the important things to know
in life, especially if you are woman,
is how to let yourself alone, writes
Mary Carolyn Davies in the Mothers
Magazine. The ability to relax, the
art of being judiciously lazy, the tact
to let herself alone has saved many a
woman from a nervous breakdown
We all know the housewife who nags
herself into such state of conscien-
tiousness that she cannot rest. II she
lies down she is continually worrying
herself with thoughts of the work that
she is neglecting.
Much of the blame for this state OF
affairs Hes at the doors of the moth.
ers. The mistake is in their training
of their children, especially their
daughters. They are taught from ear.
Hest infancy to be kind to others, to
bear with them, to forgive them, to
help them; but from birth to death nc
one ever tells them TO be kind. also,
to themselves.
The woman who nags herself can
make herself more miserable than any
one else possibly could. She can make
her life more of a nightmare than any
misfortune could possibly make it. If
such women could learn to be kinder
to themselves there is no doubt that
their own lives would be heightened;
and not only that, but the lives of
those with whom they come in close
contact would be made far more pleas

ONIONS LIKE COOL WEATHER
Plant Will Stand Much Heat After
Making Good Start--WiIi Not Keep
Unless Properly Ripened.

Onions grow best in relatively cool
weather and require an abundance OF
moisture during the early stages OF
growth. However, they will stand con-
siderable heat after they have made
a good start, and ripen better if the
weather is relatively dry at the time
they mature.
This makes them an important crop
in central and northern ATTITUDES,
where the weather of spring is cool
and moist. and dry period normally
occurs in August or in early Septem-
Der. However. the season must be
sufficiently long for the onions to ma
ture before the autumn rains set in,
or they are likely never to ripen prop
erly.
Unless properly ripened, onions will
not keep. For northern localities 1t
is sometimes necessary to use only
the earlier maturing varieties.
The above statements refer to the
growing of ripe onions. Green onions
reach edible size in comparatively
short time, and can be grown during
the normally cool and moist weather
OF early spring in central and north
ern latitudes. AS commercial crop,
they are of minor Importance COM
pared with ripe onions.

For a while the vines grow we'll:
then, as the borer continues feeding
on the inside of the stalk, the vine
withers and dies. Whole patches of
squash may be destroyed by these
borers in few days.
In 1914 one farmer made tests OF
early and late planting The early
plantingsN were begun In April and
continued into May. Sweet corn was
used as a companion crop, with the
early paintings to furnish shade for
the squash vines, but every vine ex
cept one was destroyed by the borers
in all the early paintings.
He made late paintings of seed
from June to July 20, which was
the last planting of the season In
order to hasten the development OF
the plants as an offset to late plant
ing, separate hills were prepared
Holes were dug from eight to ten
inches deep, which were filed with
rich soil thoroughly mixed with chick
en- manure, but he left saucer-like
depressions as an aid to watering
the plants in dry weather. This plan
proved very serviceable, as no rain
fell during six weeks of midsummer
The plants had to be watered FREE
quently to keep them vigorous.
Notwithstanding the drawbacks Of
late planting and dry season, this
crop of Hubbards was among the best
he had ever raised. Hardly vine

Lime in Wood Ashes Has Marked
Effect on All Plants Of the
Leouminous Family.
fBy A. J. LEGG.)

10y "A. d. fl14tTN1.1 Z
There is an impression among the
farmers generally that a fertilizer
should be especially rich in potash.
One cause of this is no doubt from
the marked effects that wood ashes
have on most soils.
A liberal application of wood ashes
shows an improvement in crop produc-
ton on almost any soil. This is usually
attributed to the potash contained in
the ashes.
An analysis of the ashes usually
shows from four to five times as much
lime as potash in the ashes,
since wood ashes usually contain from
