Spading.

Pliny had the right idea He sAid. Dig deep; manure well; work often" Pliny the Elder would have been a good gardener. Twenty centuries have
 Importance of good Spading or good Flowing cannot be over-estimated- The roots of plants must not be cramped for room if the plant is to thrive. Moreover, the plant feeds through these roots and all of the plant food in the soil should be Laade available by deep digging. No amount of cultivation of growing plants will remedy poor preliminary preparation of the soil.
 Do not dig so deeply that you turn poor soil on top and bury the rich soil where the roots cannot reach it. The spading should seldom be less than inches deep or more than Is. squeeze q handful of dirt and If it crumbles when released or dropped, it is right for working. Use a spading fork rather than a spade.
 If you have been able to procure manure. work it into the soil while spading.
 The soil probably needs lining for sourness- One pound of slaked lime should not be put in at the same time with the manure. Spread the lime later when raking the top soil In most back yard gardens the soil too neaVy Eooa amount ol finely sifted coal ashes, no cinders, worked in when spadins will help to pulverize such soil but will not fer tilize it.

RIGHT WHERE THEY BELONG.


 It is but natural that the whole country should be interested in the attitudes which are being taken by the ex-presidents of the country. For a long time William H. Taft has been calling for the extension of the na- tion's full support to President Will son. He has been advocating some policies which were in accord with those of the president and some that were not. but the attitude of the ad- uainistration has undergone some changes which bring them practically into accord and this Is particularly true in regard to the raising of a large army and the introduction of universal military training. As a part of the ex-presfdent's work he has just returned from a trip through ehe south for the purpose of bringing to the closer attention Of the people of that section the necessity of support ing the chief executives demands in the maintenance of the rights and ideals of this country.
 The turn which affairs have taken and the position of the administration as set forth by President Wilson in his address before the extra session of congress has also served to bring Theodore Roosevelt into line and that means the addition of powerful ul force. He has been one of the presi- dents strong critics because the poli- cies of the two men have been far apart but the president has now taken a stand which ex-President Roosevelt not only can but does approve and there can be no question but what he will be of much aid to the adminis- tration. The country is facing one of it's greate st crises and in realization of it both the nations living ex-pres- idents are doing just what might be expected of them They are inter ested in the nations welfare and they are doing what they should to make it easier for those upon whose shoul- ders the responsibilities rest and to insure a successful outcome of the

SOLDIERS MUST BE oREYED.

Because they have not been used to such things and because they have not been used to thinking of what re- strictions are necessary in a time of war it is difficult for many to realize just what the meaning is of soldiers in the streets and on guard at vart- ous points. Citizens are not used to having their privileges, so long en- 5oyed, interfered with and they fail In many instances to show the proper consideration for the measures of pro lection which are being taken. They are loyal and good citizens themselves and they somehow think that the sol iiers ought to be able to distinguish them from those who are not, but they must realize that when militia men are stationed at certain points and given orders to allow no one to pass that they are obliged to obey. It is not for. the soldiers to attempt to discriminate and take chances. T. is for each and every citizen 10 do his part, to halt when called upon and to obey whatever other directions are given.
 It is because of the failure of some to appreciate the situation that ex- ists, unless. they have been inclined to reach a certain point for a pur- pose. that the guards in different cit les have been called upon to shoot Deaths and wounds have resulted, but 1t could all have been avoided if there had been the disposition t9 respect the authority of the guards instead of persisting in taking shortcuts or using ways of travel which are now forbid den. It must be realized that the sol diers are not on parade but they are on duty for business and they must be respected and obeyed. When that Is fully realized little trouble ought to result except to those who are looking for it.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Some Fun Through the Gloom.

MT. Editor: The amusing letters of the Cloud Digger cast little ray of fun through the gloom of these dark days of strike and uncertainty.
 In spite of his SurpaSsing knowledge of coming events, and his amazin z familiarity with the secrets saof na- ture, notably the virtues of planting in the full of the moon, and the rayb- bit foot theories of cultivation, he is, so far as I am able to determine, a Farmer of-shall we say-moderate success.
 He reminds me of a certain very good gentleman, who lived in this vii cinity some years ago, who wrote a book entitled. Money. and How to Make It." but who never succeeded in making any himself.

Owners of automobiles are not quite ready to place them in the hands Of the government to be requisltioned at any time needed and used for any pur- pose. In Massachusetts to overcome this attitude the government has given a guarantee that such machines VIII not be used for anything but war pur- poses and not even for the carrying about of military officers and use in patriotic procession. We want them only for use in the gravest danger,
 they say. NevertheIess people there. as around here. are offering up their machines, some of them saying that they do not expect to get them back in good condition.

Practically every individual has an opportunity to do something. There is hardly a home in the city of New Britain that is not surrounded by enough Iand@ to make the cultivation of a vegetable garden possible. It is the duty of those owning or renting this land to see that 1t it made pro- ductfve of something of greater value than grass and weeds. The closing Of factories on Saturday afternoons gives to employees a much needed half holi- day. They no doubt are willing, how ever. to sacrifice this in the interest of their families and their country. In- stead of giving up the time to the planting of flowers in an attempt to beautify the front yard, work for which they are to be complImented under ordinary conditions, why not devote their attention to the cultiva- ton of the land in the rear of their homes. that the vegetable crop may be ample to supply the country's needs. The task is one that can be made pleasant if entered into in the proper spirit and the effect even more far reaching than the mind can grasp. Let US show our interest and help. The

now TO STORE YOUR SEED CORN

The following suggestions ier

offered BY Manley Champlin. as
slstant agronomist at the South

Save about 80 ears for each arrc
to be planted which will allow foy
a 10 per cent loss in testing. Seed
corn must be dried in such a:man-
ner that air will he permitted to
circulate around all sides of the ear
and that mice will be prevented
from reaching it. The double
string method is convenier> c..
hanging small lots oya~'. .,ood p;o
aef 'w'ne cut Ito lengths of 10 or
:. ~ ,ee' are tied, thus giving a
! osuble string about five feet long.
lhe double string is held by each
emo and an ear of corn placed at
the center. BY crossing the
s''Ings each time after placing the
ear, one will have full string
ready to hang.
Inc cross wires of electric weld
Ell woven wire fence may be severd
haif way between the stays and the
sevcred ends bent upward to a
slight angle upoaa W hich the butts
on the corn arc placed. Each wire
stay when thus loaded NAV be
hung by means Ut a loop at the up
per end.
Neat seed corn racks NAV be
made by stapIlng a heavy grade of
poultry wire on each side of a
frame OF 1x4's taking care that the
meshes of the wire coincide. The
ears may then Le inserted thru the
meshes and will project on each
side sufficiently to prevent thep,
from falling out.
Why Select Seed Corn?
