BETTER LET 1T ALONE.

please tell me how to make a COM
post heap or best results, how much
lime and how much acid phosphate to
use. When is the best time to start
and what plant food will it contain
when done?"
For general farm purpose the MAX
ing of compost is a waste of time,
labor and manure. Then lime should
never be mixed with manure or acid
phosphate. for it will drive off the
ammonia from the manure and will
revert the phosphoric acid in the acid
phosphate and make it less available.
Then after you have spent time and
labor on it no one could tell how
much plant food it contains without
chemical analysis. For general farm
use the best way to handle the manure
is to get out and spread it on the land
as fast as made. If the land is acid
and needs lime. spread an application
broadcast and harrO it in. For gar
den purposes, where the manure must
be fine and we'll rotted, we can afford
some loss in the manure to set it in
proper condition. I make a garden
compost in early spring by cutting
grass sods two inches thick. Lay
layer of the sod, grass down, and COW

shape to use in the frames under glass
or cloth for growing lettuce. etc. But
for farm crops get the manure cut as
fast as YOU have any and spread it on
the land that is to go in corn the next
spring, and it will lose less there than
anyfher else-Prof. Massey in Pro-
gressive Farmer.

SELECTING SEEDS FOR GARDEN.

Good seed is the first thinC in
good garden. Not only seeds that will
be sure to grow. but seeds that will
produce vegetables of a superior
quality.
In buying seed, take into account
the conditions of your garden, the
climate in which you live, and the
needs of your family.
For each garden plant there are va
rieties that have proved successful I'M
der such a wide range of climate and
soils that they have become standards.
These standards generally give the
farmer best results. New varieties
should be tried with caution, as they
may prove unsuccessful
If you are starting out With new

find out what kinds have been grown
with good production by your neigh
bors. Thus you may be sure of get

existent on your own garden plot.

FARMERS ASKED TO ORDER
FERTILIZER SHIPMENTS EARLY

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 10-Farmers are
being urged to order out their fertiilz..

that they may not suffer from a car
shortage, should one develop in tins
late spring. Shippers are pointing
out that farmers who delay their or
ders may find themselves unable to
get supplies in time to follow the
plant early" plan which has been adj
vocated as one of the most effective
methods of fighting the boil weevil..
In view of the unusual demands for
box cars. now Icing made by shippers
in other line sof business, the supply
of cars available for the movement of
fertilizers may not be as large this
season as in former years and it is
therefore important that shipments Of
fertilizer be spread over . longer
period.
Should the great majority of farm
ers wait until the fertilizer is actually
needed to place their orders, it is fear
ed that this in itself might create a
car shortage which would cause many
of them to be disappointed. Dealers
stress the point that early ordering is
equally important for the farmer who,
buys only one ton and for the planter
who buys By the car load:

COTTAGE CHEESE EASY TO MAKE.

When one does not find ready sale
for all of the buttermilk and skim
milk a profitable method is to convert
it into some form of soft cheese. Cot
tage cheese, which is frequently call
ed Dutch cheese and "schmiercase," is
the most popular and S more extern
sively used than any other variety of
soft cheese. and the demand for 1t is
good in towns and cities.
The process Of making consists in
separating the curd from the whey
and preparing the curd for market
condition. When the whey is saved 1t
makes a desirable material for mixing
with shorts or corn meal as slop for
pigs.
The first step is getting the milk
properly coagulated. This can be
cone either by permitting the ordinary
tactic germs to complete the work, or
it can be helped to great advantage by
the use of rennet tablets or liquid rem
net in proper quantity. The skim
milk is brought to temperature of
70 to rs degrees and held thera dur
ing coagulation. Unless it is already
partly sour it is best to add a starter
of buttermilk in order to hasten clab-
bering and in two hours add the rem
net solution if it is used at ALL q
It will require from five to eight
hours for the curd to harden enough
to begin separating from the whey.
AT this stage the whey is drawn of
with a strainer or the curd schoOped
out and placed in cotton hays for
draining. The escape of the whey can
be helped by pressing the bags or by
using a small cheese press, jelly press.
or cider press. -s
When all the whey has drained out
the curd is well worked with the
hands and salt added at the rate OF
one ounce to every five pounds Of curd
A little pepper can also be added TO
taste if desired Some customers de-

A large portion of this increase, 1t IS said, has taken place since America entered the war, and Administrator Hoover asks the American people to CO., operate with him to prevent the increase from climbing any higher. By practicing economy, eliminating waste and adopting a common sense plan of food conservation, this can be done, he asserts.
