LIME VALUABLE
FOR THE GARDEN


 What fertilizer shall I use on my backyard garden?'
 This question comes back from agri- cultural advisers. Lime. 2o-25 pounds to the square rod; the same amount of 4-S-4 fertilizer; and manure. all you can get"
 Lime is mentioned first not because it is the most important but because it is the most neglected in respect to city gar dens. Lime, manure and high grade artificial fertilizer are generally all need ed to grow good vegetables in the city, but the lime is generally the most needed because it has been the least supplied.
 The horticultural specialist believes that there is hardly a city garden which would not be benefited by application of any form of agricultural lime in the qunatity recommended above. He points out that plants of the cabbage family, in- cluding spinach, caulif1ower and kale, par ticularly, need calcium, as also do lettuce, peas and onions. Lime brings to the soil less actual fertilizer than it frees through chemical combination with plant foods already there, insoluble and unavailable. Moreover, lime has a paradoxical effect on the physical condition of the ground. actually making light land hold water better, and enabling heavy land better to shed excess moisture.

SWISS CHARD

For very small gardens, 1t is useless to attempt to grow spinach enough 10 make it worth while because it takes so much of it to make enough to cock AL 50. it's season is short. If there is room 1t is the the finest early greens that can be grown. But if the small gardener wants greens and plant ot them, a short row of Swiss chard will furnish an abund- ance all summer.
 The chard is a beet that doesn't beat 1t to root. but confnest all its energies to top. The leaves are very light green, often much crinkled, and there are heavy u11drjbs like celery stalks The entire leaf. rib and all. may be cooked for greens, but the dish is more appettzing in appearance if the ribs are left out They are sometimes cooked separately and served with butter sauce but are rather tasteless unless cooked with something to help bring. out the flavor.

EGG PRODUCTION DROPS
 OFF IN s4TH WEEK

Egg production dropped slightly in the egg laying contest at storrs during the twenty-fourth week, due largely to un- favorable weather conditions and an in- crease in the number of broody hens. The total production for the week was 4673 eggs or 66.7 per cent This Is a drop of 1533 eggs as compared with last weeks production but 1t is still 300 eggs ahead of the same week last year and 512 eggs more than the six year average.
 First place for the week was won by a pen of Rhode Island Reds owned by Norman M. Misner, Hasbrouck, N. r.. with a production of 62 eggs.

CALVES SHOULD BE
 GIVEN CAREFUL ATTENTION

Many valuable calves are annually lost through ignorance and carelessness, either because the owners have not yet acquired the knowledge and experience in caring for the baby calves, or that they are careless in attention and do not feed regularly. Calves, like all animal kind quickly become accustomed to reg ular hours for feeding, and if attention is no given at the appointed time they fret and worry and make no gains. AS a rule the new calf is born in strong and healthy state, and 1t ls up to the at tendant to keep 1t in that state. The care must begin at; once so that there is not the slightest chance for t to have a setback r's +>.

NEW arETHoD FOR ALFALFA
 RAISERS


 Farmers who have failed to get stand of alfalfa CT soy beans after inoculat- ing with commercial cultures may have better luck with the new "soH and glue" method whereby organisms from soil which has grown these crops are brought to the seed on particles of the soil itself and made to stick by a film CT glue.
 Method-Dissolve two handfuls of furniture glue for every gallon of boil ing water and allow solution to cool Put the seed in washtub and then sprinkle enough of the solution on the seed to moisten but not to wet q quart per bush el is sufficiently, and stir the mixture thoroughly until the seed are moistened.
 Secure the inoculated soil from a place where the same kind of plants are growing, making sure that the roots have a vigorous development of nodules Dry the soil in the shade, preferably in the barn or basement, and puiverize it thor oughly into dust Scatter this dust over the moistened seed. using from one-half to one gallon of dirt for each hAShel of seed mixing thoroughly until the seed no longer stick together. The seed are then ready to sow.

The Swiss chard will grow in almost any soil or location and when the leaves are cut off, more will grow and the leaves from only a few healthy chards will make 8 big painful of material for greens. In fact, 1t is difficult to keep the chard used up if very extensive planting is made.
 It has proved an ideal vegetable for small city gardens and is quite as appe- tizing as spinach. This vegetable is be. coming more popular every year. It has been on the market for many years but is beginning to receive more general re- cognition than ever before.

production of 53 eggs each
 At this season of the year broody hens are always more or less troublesome h all of the heavy breeds and occasionally among the light breeds. All broody hens should be broken up promptly. If a broody hen is allowed to Stay on the nest she loses body weight very rapidly. therefore, it takes just that much longer to get her back into normal weight and production. Keep dry mash, green. food and fresh water before broody hens while in confinement. It is worth while to pht celluloid band on each broody hen for each offence This will furnish helDfu, information during the culling season.

SHOWS WHY NEW HAVEN
ROAD Is FACING DEFICIT

President E. j. Pearson Of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford, in a
statement issued Wednesday sums up the
reasons why the road faces deficit de-
spite economies in operation introduced
and increased rates granted His state
ment follows:
Net revenues from late advances have
not equalled those of other railroads
because the cost of its greater proper
ton Of distributive and terminal service
has increased with disportionate rapid
ity and because divisions of the through
rates have not been increased to follow
the increased cost of such service.
This disparity has more than absorbed
the great improvements in capacity and
in economy of operation. 1.-THE COM
pany's net earnings were in the same
proportion to its gross earnings at the be-
ginning of federal control, its credit
would now be re-established and it would
earn substantial sum available for a
! dividend. :,

been consistently followed during the past
