MAKE YOUR GARDEN
PLANS I'M TIME
Save Time And Energy BY Having
Long Rows And Proper
Placing.
b. z. sToDDARD.

Maryland Agricultural College.
Long before the time of seed plant
ing, the size OF the plot should be Sc,
cured and plan of the garden drawn
to scale. This will enable the grower
to figure out just how many rows of
vegetables he can have, and also just
where each vegetable will be planted.
Then when planting time comes, the
work can proceed without further diff
Guilty. An architect always draws q
plan before he builds a~house. Is it
not just as important for the gardener
to plan his work beforehand? The
exact plan of the garden will depend
upon the personal tastes of the owner
and will be different for each individ-
ual
Whatever the size of the garden may
be, it should be oblong in shape, that
is about twice as long as 1t is wide.
In the farmers garden, paintings are
made in long rows, wide apart, to per.
NIT of horse tillage as much as is
possible. Here every effort should be
made to reduce hand labor to the
minimum, for time is more expensive
to the farmer than space The main
effort should be to produce the best
yields with a minimum expenditure OF
labor, regardless of the space required
Twenty long rows require less turning
of the horse at the ends than thirty
five short ones and this means time
and energy saved. Time and confu
sion will be saved if vegetables are
grouped according to their cultural
requirements. For example, q row.
containing parsnips and satisfy, OF
parsnips, late carrots and satisfy
would make a good combination. But
a row containing parsnips, cabbage
and spinach would be faulty COM
bination. 1t would be well to place
the root crops together; the cabbage
crops in the next space and tomatoes,
peppers, ETC., in another space. Many
men deem 1t advisable to run the rows
north and south when possible. A tall
crop like corn should not shade low
growing, crop which requires great
deal of sunshine. All perennials such
as asparagus, rhubarb, and horse-radish
should be planted along the outside of
the garden where they will not inter
fere with the preparation Of the land
for the annual crops.
Some gardeners begin to plant the
earliest vegetables at one side and
proceed across the garden as the sea-
son advances. This makes 1t easier
to harrow the implanted portion at
any time desired and thus keep it free
from weeds and In moist friable con-
dition Other desirable features Of
this plan are; all similar crops in any
row require the same amount and kind
of tillage; crops occupying the land
about the same length of time may be
planted together; after early maturing
crops are harvested it is possible to
prepare strip Of land to plant late
vegetables, if desired.

Austria,s Historic Crown.

The crown donned by the monarch
Of Austria, which was made originally
for Stephen of Hungary some eight
centuries ago, has been stolen, lost or
pawned
One one occasion it was pilfered by
a queen who fled across the frozen
Danube with it,, and there, being In
need of ready cash, she pawned it for
$500 ducats When it was finally
traced and recovered it was placed In
a fortress in Hungary and guarded
night and day.
At the time of the revolution 1t was
buried in forest to prevent its being
annexed by the Austrians, and it re-
manned under the soil for nearly hum
dred years. The crown is adorned
with fifty-three fine sapphires, fifty
good sized rubies, one emerald and 3SS
pearls The gems are sunken in mass
of pure gold, and the crown weighs al
together about fourteen pounds.-Ex-

HOW TO DETERMINE THE NEED
FOR LIME.
II. J. PATTERSON,
Maryland Agricultural College.

Maryland Agricultural College.
There have been numerous methods
proposed for determining the need for
lime and the probable quantity re-
Quired. none Of them are very reliable
and all take more or less skill in their
application. The most reliable test is
evidenced by the crop. but this takes
considerable time. Probably the east
est test is the use Of blue litmus paper
for testing the acidity of soils, and II
1t turns red rapidly 1t will generally
indicate the need for lime. The blue
litmus paper test is very simple, it
is made by bringing a piece Of blue
litmus paper In contact with the moist
ened soil and observing the intensity
and rapidity Of the redness thus pro-
duced.
The general characteristics Of the
land as to its derivation can not be
taken as sure indication of the lack
or supply of lime. It is not infrequent
to find in limestone regions and on
the so-called limestone soils that ap-
plications Of lime produce most
marked results. This is due to the
fact that the lime Of limestone soils
has been removed in great part
through prolonged decay and the dis
solving action of the carbonated wa
ters. This, not infrequently, leaves
such soils SO siliceous or ferrugenous
as to be quite barren and of a nature
to be benefited by application of lime.
Throughout the Trenton Limestone
areas in Maryland, nearly every farm
has, in years past. had its quarry and
lime-kiln for fitting and supplying lime
once more to soils that had been so
thoroughly leached as to render them
lean and poor.

WATER SUPPLY FOR
THE COUNTRY HOME
Necessity OF a Good Water supply
4 And Points To Be Considered In
Selecting The Source.
T. H. TALIAFERRO,
Maryland Agricultural College.


In view Of the fact that pure wa
ter In abundance is necessity in the
country home, 1t Is Of interest to con-
slider In general way the sources of
water supply and the methods OF rem
dering it available for use.
A plentiful supply Of pure water
adds, not only to the comfort Of the
home, but to the health of the mem.
bers Of the family. 1t tends to make
the home more attractive, not only to
the adults, but to the children. In so
far as it aecomplishes this fact, it has
a marked tendency in keeping the
young people in the country, since, in
many instances, they go to the city
to escape what they term the discomr
forts of country life.
Sources OF Supply.
Water may be obtained from
streams, lakes. ponds, springs, and
wells. Rain water is collected from
the roofs of buildings. Health de-
mands that water for home use must
be free from hurtful germs. There
fore. it should be tested at intervals
to determine its condition as to purity.
Streams, lakes and ponds are formed
by springs and the drainage from the
surrounding country. When the water
supply is obtained from such source,
this watershed should be carefully ex-
amined to see that NO center for pollu-
ton exists.
A spring should be cleaned out and
surface water drained away from 1t,
unless 1t is definitely known that such
water seeps through sufficient depth
OF soil to filter out any impurities.
Hog pens and privies should never be
placed above spring.
Rain water should never be stored
until after sufficient rain has fallen
to cleanse thoroughly the roofs and
cutters.
Locating A Well.
A well, particularly a shallow well,
should be constructed, II possible, on
ground higher than the house site,
barnyard, cesspool. etc., so that the
drainage would be away from it. 1t is,
however, seldom possible to select
such a position for the well. but 1t is
possible to locate the well from forty
to nifty yards from any source of pollu-
tion whatsoever; and considerations
Of health demand that 1t should be
done. At this distance, any drainage
water seeping through the soil should
be sufficiently filtered before reaching
the we'll This Is not, however, always
true, even at this distance.
The necessity for thorough filtration
of the surface water before it reaches
the source Of water supply is strong
argument in favor of using deep wells
in preference to shallow ones. Fur
ther. the water from deep well is
usually cooler and more palatable.

TOO EXPENSIVE FOR
FARM USE AT THE PRES
ENT TIME.
n. B. MCDONNELL,
Agricultural College.

Maryland Agricultural COHeS0.
1t is evident that potash at the pres
ent prices is entirely too expensive to
be used in fertilizers. and the price is
rapidly advancing, due to the exhaust
ion Of potash supplies in the country
which are now very low indeed. Fer
tilizers containing potash for the fall
trade will contain but very small
amounts and in many cases only a
fraction of a per cent. In other words,
the potash content will be reduced to
a point where the potash, SO far as the
amount IL concerned, is for practical
purposes a joke. One-fourth of one
half per cent of potash when fertilizer
is applied at 200 to 300 pounds per
acre will bake less than pound Of
actual potash to the acre. This is too
small an amount to have any practical
benefit. 1t should be remembered that
most soils contain an abundance of
potash provided it can be made avail
able. In nature, fortunately, potash
like other plant foods is liberated but
slowly from the soil, hence, it is i'm
possible to remove the entire amount
of potential plant food. In Bulletin
No 10 of the Maryland Experiment
Station we find that potash in Mary.
land soils is rarely less than 10
and in some cases will be found
to be as high as $50, the aver
age being in the neighborhood of
29o. The problem for the Maryland
farmer is by making proper use Of the
agencies within his control, by the use
of fertilizers other than potash, by the
use of lime when required, rotation
of crops, growing of legumes and thor
ough cultivation, to make available SO
far as possible the potash already in
the soil.

TRACED IN FIRE.
Glow Pictures Are Spectacular and
Easy to Make.

Easy to Make.
To make glow pictures forty parts Of
saltpeter are added to twenty parts of
gum arabic, and the whole is dissolved
in forty parts of water. An ounce or
two Of this mixture viii be sufficient
to prepare good many pictures. A
few sheets Of white paper should next
be secured, and this should be rather
thin, similar to that which is used for
typewriting
Now take a clean pen and draw the
picture on the paper, using the solu-
tion, which should be slightly warmed
by standing the bottle in hot water.
Anything may be delineated, the only
essential point being that all the lines
must connect. The final line should be
drawn down to the corner of the sheet,
and this spot may be indicated with a
pencil cross. Hang the sheets up to
dry, and when the process is complete
the lines are practically invisible.
To bring up the picture first Of all
turn down the borders of the sheet OF
paper in such way that it is raised
above the surface which will not be In
jured by the slight smoldering Of the
paper. Get match and light it, plac.
ing the glowing end of the point where
the pencil cross was made on the sheet
A trail of red fire will at once start
to burn out the picture, following the
lines which have been drawn. No other
part of the design catches on fire save
that which has been treated with the
solution. Finally the picture stands

INTENSIVE WHEAT GROWING.
Startling Results Claimed For q RUS
slams Methods.

Startling Results Claimed For RUS
slams Methods.
Some years ago, says an English pub
lication, Russian farmer discovered
a method of increasing the yield Of
wheat in so startling a manner that no
one believed he was telling the truth.
The Russian declared that it was pos
sible to get seventy pounds Of grain
from one seed and to make an acre
carry forty-five tons.
That does sound like a miracle, and
we do not vouch for it, but here Is the
method, and if any farmer has the pa.
tience to try it he will certainly be sur
prised at the result.
Each grain is planted separately in q
sunken bed about fifteen inches deep
and three and half feet In width.
As soon as the grain sprouts the little
blade is covered with a thin layer of
earth about an inch and a half In
depth. The result is that you get three
stalks instead of one. At the end of
three weeks the hoe comes into use
again, and the three stalks being COW
cred with earth, turn into nine stalks.
This process on being repeated third
time results in twenty-seven stalks,
and the Russian in question repeated
it ten times in all, so that at last each
grain produced 59,049 stalks. If the
seed is first sown in the ordinary fash
ion and then transplanted to the pit be.
fore mentioned you get an even strong
er growth, so that after only eight COW
erings more than 10000 stalks have
been produced from a single grain
