+, Liquid manure is the finest stimuIant
your flowers can have. 1t is also fine
to make the head Iettuces hurry up
their heads. This Illustration shows a.
practical way for providing a supply
readily accessible. Either sheep
manure, poultry manure, or CONNER
ciaI fertilizer may be Used in the bag
which is suspended in the water. The
device does away with odor. If the

soil. For example, it is found that re-
Gently drained swamp soils sometimes
need 20 or % tons Of lime to the acre
to sweeten them. This, of course,
would be impracticable and an easier
and cheaper method must be followed.
The most practical method is to first
thoroughly drain the sour soil, then
turn it up to the air and allow it to
sweeten through natural processes.
Even then it will usually be necessary
to add some lime or other material
containing lime, such as wood ashes, to.
help along with the natural process.
Most Of our garden lands need nitro
gen, phosphoric acid or potash. These
can be supplied in the form of mixed
fertilizer containing about 4 or per
cent nitrogen, s or 10 per cent phos-
phoric acid and to per cent potash.
Truck gardeners usually figure on
about one ton of this fertilizer to the
acre each year. This would mean
Shout 200 pounds on tenth-acre plot
Of ground or 100 pounds on the average
backyard garden which is, as a rule,
about 80 to 40 feet wide and 60 or 20
feet in length. The fertilizer is best
applied just after the ground has been
spaded and well raked or forked into
the top four inches of soil. If lime is
used it should be put on either several
DAYS after the fertilizer or week
or so before the fertilizer is applied
and never at the same time as the
fertilizer. Weeds chopped fine, strawy
manure, or, in fact, any manure that
does not contain oil from the streets,
will help enrich the garden and give
the soil new life, but with the present
scarcity of manure, home gardeners are
practically compelled to depend upon
commercial fertilizers for adding plant
food to their garden soils. A good
plan is for several gardeners in a
neighborhood to pool their order for
fertilizer, buy it in considerable guam
titles, and then divide according to the
needs of each.
Many gardeners prefer to broadcast
about one-haIf of the fertilizer before
planting the crops, then use the re-
mainder for scattering along the rows
during the growing period of the crops.
This means a little more work but
gives the best results.

Need Only Simple
Tools for Garden
Spade, Rake and Hoe Will
Be Sufficient for Your
Small Space.

Nearly every hardware store and
practically all Of the seed houses keep
supply of garden tools for sale. The
amateur gardener is often tempted to
purchase larger number of tools than
is justified by the results obtained in
a small garden. The three most es-
sential tools recommended by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture are a spade or spading fork, a
hoe, and rake. The question as to
whether spade or spading fork
should be purchased will depend upon
the character Of the soil. If the soil
is heavy and of clay nature a spade
will be best for turning it up, but if
1t is gravelly, sandy or loamy, the spad-
ing fork will put it in better condi-
ton than will the spade. When it
comes to the selection of a hoe, just
a plain, thin-bladed hoe about 6 or z
inches in width is best. A pointed or
marking hoe may be rather desirable,
but the marks in which to plant seeds
can practically all be made with the
corner of the regular hoe A rake is
needed for pulverizing the soil, and
here again the plainest and simplest
type of steel rake is best.
In selecting any of these tools the
quality of the material in the blade or
metal part and a good, straight
grained, smooth handle are the es-
sentials. To these tools the gardener
can easily add few simple implements
of his own manufacture. These may
consist of a couple of wooden stakes
and line of any strong cord, paddle
made from a single or thin piece of
board and a little scratcher made by
driving three wire brads through the
end of piece of lath. The line
should be used for all planting in or
der to have the rows straight, the pad
die is suitable for setting the plants,
and the scratcher is useful for work
ing between small plants.
When the tools such as spade or
spading fork, hoe and rake are pur-
chased from the store, tho metal parts
will be bright and new, and, as rule,
the handles have no paint or other
dressing upon them. 1t is a good plan
to give the handles thorough coating
with shellac, as this will help keep the
moisture from penetrating them. The
blades should be kept bright and clean

and oiled with any good grease, to
which is added about one part lime
to three parts oil in order to counter
act any free acids that may be pres
ent in the Oil. Just oil alone does not
make a good coating for bright sur
faces, as the free acid contained in the
oil may cause the implements to rust
even while thoroughly coated with the
grease and lime will correct this acid
condition of the oil. Keeping the tools
housed in a dry place is most impor-
tant in connection with their preserva-
ton. Never, under any circumstances,
should a spade or spading fork be left
standing in the soil, as the chemical
elements of the soil will Immediately
attack the steel and good spade may
be completely ruined by standing in
the soil overnight.

y Element of the PREPARATIONS and
other postwar troubles of Europe
were beginning to move steadily
toward accomplishment, NJ. Lasteyrie,
French minister of finance, pulled a
boner" last Wednesday and compelled
Premier Poincare and his cabinet to
resign. There was considerable dis
may in diplomatic circles, but this was
aIlayed when M. Poincare, after con-
sulting the presidents of the senate
and chamber of deputies, yielded to
the request of President Millerand
and consented to form new ministry.
The incident, after all, turned out adj
vantageously, for the premier was en-
abled to get rid of several ministers
whose unpopularity has hamDered him.
Lasteyries failure to control the
financial situation had made him the
object Of frequent attacks, and when
on Wednesday he demanded an imme-
date vote by the deputies on the gov
ernment's pension bill the chamber
sent it to a committee for investiga-
ton. Lasteyrie thereupon called for
a vote Of confdence-a parliamentary
blunder and this was refused, 264 to
271. The resignation Of the cabinet
followed as a matter Of course. Poin-
care, however, felt that he must retain
the reins Of government until the re-
port of the committee Of experts has
been published and also believed he
should carry on the series Of CONVEX
sations with Prime Minister MacDon-
aid concerning French security. There
fore he undertook the formation Of a
new cabinet.

assert the President already has $50

money is to be expended for food
stuffs in this country and the food is
to be transported in shipping board
vessels. Wherever possible the sup
plies are to be bought through farm

repeatedly has been informed that

the Greek national assembly voted for
the deposing of the entire Glucks-

favor of the establishing of a repub-
lie, subject to the decision of the peo-
pie in the coming plebiscite. George
is quoted as saying that ne will not
abdicate because he believes the
Greeks want him and will vote to
keep him on the throne. In Persia the
assembly deposed the shah, who has
spent most of his time in Europe Of

THERE seems to be ground for the
4 hope that the AnglO-French con-
versations will lead to an agreement
giving security to France and, in con-
junction with the Dawes plan, to
settlement Of the reparations prob
lem. 1t is taken for granted that Ger
many will accept the experts report,
but it will urge that the German rail-
ways be heavily mortgaged and put in
the control of a board of trustees in
stead of being internatiOnalized. The
Berlin government announced that the
agreement between the Ruhr indus
trialists and France, which provided
France and the allies with coal, in
exchange for which the manufacturers
were allowed freedom of operations,
could not be renewed on April 10,
when it expires, because. the govern
ment could no longer pay for the prod
ucts delivered The Association of
Rhineland Industries therefore offered
the following basis for new agree
ment:
The German industrialists will de-
liver 121a per cent Of the coal output,
as called for in the previous agree
ment, provided France and Belgium in
turn facilitate Ruhr production by re-
ducing the reparations coal tax and
the cost for the transportation of
freight on the Franco-Belgian con-
trolled railway system in the Rhine
land and Ruhr.
POincare, according to Paris dis
patches, has an ambitious program by
which he hopes to save Europe. If a
pact for French security can be ar
ranged with Great Britain, he will
soon meet Premier Theunis Of Belgium
to consolidate their positions, and
then will call three great conferences.
The first will include the allies, the
second the allies and Germany, and
the third, intended to make COM
plete settlement of the European
tangle, will include the allies, Germany,
the United States and the larger neu-
trail nations.
Prime Minister Macdonald appears
to be working along the same lines,
for it is stated that he hopes, soon
after the experts report is submitted,
to bring about new allied conference,
in which the United States would be
asked to participate.
