WORDS

! Was always a lover Of words
That seem In their haunting sound
Flowing from their heart Of music OF
Freed ike forgotten faneies
From the land Of lost language:
Green grasses, moonlit meadows,
Misty marshes, silver seas;
Clear cool waters, quiet forests,
Lonely prairies, somber skies;
Silent stars Ger wild waste places,
Weeping willows, quiet lakes;
Slender birches swayed by breezes,
Sunny pastures, winding paths;
Falling leaves in lonely forests,
Pale faced flowers, dusky pines,
All these have | loved 10 say
Filling my heart with the songs
OF the winds and waters,
Ever wandering in far of lands.

 A. Weather conditions would be big factor. You should have plants large enough to sell by Christmas or shortly after.
 @. Is 1t time to transplant pansy plants now? Mrs. $. N, R. F. D. l.
 A. Pansy plants may be trans planted at any time that they be- come large enough. The quicker the better. They. should have at least four or more leaves. Transplanting is of great benefit to pansies. 0. Is it too late to plant rape seed? We want to SOW some for both table and for feeding poultry. M F., Greensboro, Ala.
 A. It is not too late to plant rape in your section either for the table or for poultry. You can sow in the same manner as you would turnips. Q. How many onion sets do I need to purchase to set out about half an acre and what sort is best? D. N., Vivian, Ala.
 A. All would depend or size of sets, distance of rows and width in drills. More information is needed | for any conclusive answer The best varieties for planting now are the common sorts, such as yellow dan vers, white silverskin, and red wethersfield.
 | Q. Is the bearded seed wheat bet ter than the smooth headed sorts to sow in Alabama for the production of grain, or can you tell us the best sort? E. H., Boaz, Ala.
 A. Bearded sorts are generally the largest grain and do well on good 1 soil, but the most popular sorts are the smooth-headed sorts, such as Blue Stem and Fultz
 r Q. At the proper time I want to plant number of hyacinths. one to pot, for house culture. What size pot should be used and what sort of dirt Is best? Miss E.
 l 4. Four-inch pots should really be used; that is, a pot four inches deep and four inches in diameter. The soil should be virgin woods earth or at least fertile garden soil. A little admixture of well decomposed ami nal manure would help. l Q. Can I grow the madonna lily in the house in pots? Mrs. M., Clan | ton, Ala.
 A. Yes. it can be done. At least a six-inch pot would be required for a single bulb. This lily however, known as Lilium Candidum, is per fectly hardy and really does better planted out in the open ground.
 .. I have grown lot of Kaffir corn for my chickens and write to know if the seed should be threshed out of the heads before feeding? M. S., Cordova, Ala.
 l A. It is not necessary. as the poul- | try can easily remove the seed. The main factor is not to pile the heads 1 so as to induce heating. Cure the heads in the sun, and if weevils make their appearance, place heads in air-tight containers and funi- 1 gate. See letter.
 c. We want to plant something to graze chickens on, also a COW, not a permanent pasture, but something to last until about May or June, as

 c. What is the difference between narcissus and daffodil. and when is the proper time to plant? Miss S., Huntsville, Ala.
 A. The name daffodil is generally applied to hardy narcissus, grown outdoors, but the names jonquf1, narz cissus and daffodil are so closely ire ter-related that the distinction is confusing to the amateur. The name daffodil Is more commonly applied to hardy outdoor narcissus.
