Perhaps few remember the population of New York, still the leading state in numbers as it has been for nearly q century-about 10, 400 900. This is almost exactly one-tenth of the total population of the country. And of this onc-tcnth more than half are counted to the single city of New York. To be exact. 5 5690.04S.

Then should see no more the dying flowers, The naked trees, the fields all brown and bare, The snow-flakes sweeping through the icy air. Nor long tor spring through dreary winter hours And yet-no more to see the sun arise

RIGHT TIME TO APPLY LIME
II Badly Needed 1t May Be Spread
on Winter Wheat In Spring and
Lightly Narrowed.

The best time to apply lime is when
land is being prepared for wheat in
fall. 1t should be spread on the plowed
ground and narrowed in. Lining corn
land that is to be followed by grain
crop with clover is also good practice.
If lime Is badly needed it may be
spread on the winter wheat in the
spring and lightly narrowed in. 1t
will not be as effective as If 1t had
been put on last fall but it will help
some. If clover is to be seeded with a
spring grain crop, lime can be applied
when preparing the land for this crop.
The precise amount of lime to use
in each case can be determined only
by chemical means, and the various
methods for determining the lime re-
quirement of soils do not always yield
uniform results, says the United
States department of agriculture For
the farmer the response of the clover
crop is the best test. BY lining a field
at two or three rates and leaving a
strip unlimed the farmer can get
clover to tell the story itself. AS n
general rule, which is useful as a
starting point, two tons of ground
limestone or one ton of burnt lime an
acre will put most land In shape to
grow clover.

the last century, when he husked and

to 141a bushels half century later
when he used a gang pillow, disk har-
row, corn planter, self-binder for cut
ting, husker and fodder cutter, and a

agriculture. If the corn was husked
from standing stalks and these left In
the field, and the corn was not shelled,

farmers labor was from 10 bushels in
the earlier time to 26la bushels In the

The soil for cucumbers should be
rich, and 1t is a good plan TO apply
Well-rotted manure under the rows or
hills. If planted in rows open the fur
row and scatter the manure along the
furrow, turning fresh soil over the ma
nure before planting the seeds. If the
seeds are planted In hills confine the
application of manure to the area Occu-
pied by the hills.
Easily Injured by Cold.
As cucumbers are easily injured by

all danger of frost IS over and the
ground has begun to warm up. For
very early cucumbers the seeds should
be planted in hotbed In old straw

or directly In the soil Of the bed. BY
starting the plants in hotbeds the Gu
cumbers will be ready for the table
two or three weeks earlier than II
started In the open. For the main
crop drill the seed In rows five feet
apart, and after the plants reach a
height of three or four inches thin
them to stand twelve to eighteen
inches apart in the row, or plant the
seeds In hills four feet apart each way
and thin to three or four plants to the
hill.
Cucumbers should be given frequent
shallow cultivation until the vines fill
most of the space between the rows |;
after this very little attention will be
needed, except to pull out weeds by
hand. Do not allow any fruit to ripen
on the vines until the end of the pick
