MINISTER'S MEN of MEDICINE
Both in England and America Clergy
man Acted as Doctor in the
Seventeenth Century.

Some of the medicines dispensed in
the Seventeenth century were fear
ful and wonderful connections. Human
skulls, bones, human fat, mummies,
etc, were freely prescribed. At the
deathbed of Charles III preparation
from q human skull was administered.
The education of the pharmacist at
this time was largely based on his
trade experience, although some knowl-
edge of Latin was required. The ap-
premiership lasted from fve 10 six
years, and at the end of that time he
became "journeyman." On assuming
control of a pharmacy as a proprietor.
he was required to pass supplement
tary examination.
Pharmacy in America during the Sew
enteenth century was largely based on
English usages modified by practices
derived from the Indians. In Massa-
chusetts, a great many clergymen prac-
ticed pharmacy for a means of lIveli-
hood, while preaching. Indians and
old women also practlced it. The
witchcraft epidemic brought the prac-
titloners Of pharmacy into suspicion

Department of Agriculture. Take a

plants will not grow crooked and
drawn toward the window. A supply
of good soil should be stored in the
cellar or in some dry place in the au-
tumn in order to have it available
along in February or March when it
Is wanted for filling the window boxes.
This soil should be of a light loan
or sandy nature and the part used in
the transplantins trays should contain
Il very little finely sifted manure well
mixed with the soil. The plants should
be shaded for a day or so and kept
well watered after transplanting, but
as the season advances the trays
should be carried into the open air
whenever 1t is warm enough and the
plants exposed to outdoor conditions
So that they will be sturdy and accus-
toned to the open air by the time 1t
is safe to set them in the garden. In
removing the plants from the trays
for setting in the ground knife or
trowel should be run between them so
that they may be lifted with nice
block of earth adhering to their roots.

SHOULD FERTILIZE
TO GET GOOD CROP
Stable Manure, Soil Building
Crops, or Commercial Fer
ti|izer Necessary.

Most farmers can spare enough
manure from their other crops to fer
tilize properly one-fourth acre gar
den plot, but In some sections, espe-
cially near towns, manure is no longer
to be had in quantity and other means
must be found for fertilizing garden
soils. In brief, states the United
States Department of Agriculture, at
least three methods Of adding fertility
of manure; second, by the use of soil
building crops, and, third, by CONNER
cial fertilizers. No one method Is as
good as any two or the three COM
bined, and If we are to get the best
results from the use of commercial
fertilizer a reasonable amount of ma
nure or organic matter must be In the
soil
The amount of manure required will
depend entirely upon the soil itself,
but very few cases are found where
the use Of manure on gardens Is being
overdone. The same might be said
about the turning under Of manure
'''ps vi SOit DuhSlhk tioRo. ALSEh tuC
weeds that grow upon the surface DUR
ing the late summer, aside from their
seeds, are often valuable for working
into the soil. The method of applying
the manure will also depend upon To-
cal conditions, but as a rule manure
that has been piled and thoroughly
cemposted will give better results than
that which is in the raw state.
Too much cannot be said in favor
of the compost pile by means of which
equal parts of manure and soil or
sods. which are even better are piled
to rot. This compost heap should be
turned once or twice during the win
ter months and the material applied
to the garden as top dressing dur
ing the spring. Ten tons of this kind
of material will not be too much for
