PUSH CULTIVATION.

Much of the success of the corn or cotton crop depends on the cultiva- tion. Persistent early cultivation not only makes it possible to control the grass and weeds but also helps warm the soil, provides air for the roots and hastens the growth of the young plants. Good early cultivation helps put the cotton into thrifty condition which resists sore shin or damping off, anthracnoSe, and plant lice But by no means neglect early cultivk,ion of the corn Don't let the corn be- come stunted in growth. The mistake of that plan was discovered several years ago. Push the cultivation Of both corn and cotton. Make it thor ough Cultivate after each rain as soon as the soil will do to work In dry weather cultivate once every ten days or two weeks. Let the early cultivation be about three inches deep later cultivate about two inches deep

To Repair DAMAGED Mirror.

To restore a mirror from which the
silver backing has cone off in spots,
proceed as follows: First remove
the silvering from the glass around
the scratch so that the clear space
will be about a quarter of an inch
vide. Thoroughly clean the clear
space with a clean cloth and alcohol.
Near the edge of a broken piece of
looking glass mark out piece of sill
vering little larger than the space
on the mirror; place a very minute
drop OF mercury in the center of this
patch and allow 1t to remain there for
a few minutes; clear away the silver
ing around the patch and slide the
latter from the glass. Place it over
the clear spot on the mirror and gent
ly press it down with TUT of cotton.
This is a difficult operation, and we
would advise a little practice before
trying it on large mirror.
