 practice 1t will. If perseveringiy used, feel fine the next day.
 On shorter mashie shots I find that the short, choppy follow through is all right, but in the longer shots 1t gives a poor flight. Therefore. on these let the clubhead follow well up and through, as it were. Then I imagine my clubhead touching the ground on three or four-inch line beginning with the ball, and so I try to snap the ball off the ground there. q mention here that if any of my readers do not understand any of my statements will be glad to answ CT any questions in regard to them. ! If l hold onto the ball more than these three or four inches when the clubhead should be travelling on that straight Hne--I am done for; for I either slice or pull. To get the pro per throw of the clubhead you must have "loos6' wrists, and again | say, hit into that imaginary line, for this is the Golden Rule of direction.

 Questions and Answers
 Q. Please tell me why 1t is that turnips grown in fresh or new ground are so much better than those produced elsewhere? Can't I. by fertilizing, produce just as well? W. C., Fort Payne.

Sow your oats first, then wait until good rain has set-- tied the soil. then sow grass seed on top of the ground and cover by roll ing the ground or by dragging with with heavy drag. Covering is not necessary, but pressing the soil to make close contact is very impor- tant.
 0. often read about forcing bulbs into flower. It seems that only certain varieties are recom- mended for forcing. Why is this and where does the difference come in? Mrs. J., Bessemer.
 A. AS a rule quick Towering or early varieties can usually be forced Into bloom through the aid of heat or special treatment to induce rapid growth. Varieties of slower natural growth often fail to bloom If an at tempt Is made to make 1t bloom out of its natural season.

After the mag got enters the bud they are hard to reach and the bud could not be
