duce the largest crops. in her history
in 1918, You have used .good seed,
and given ydur crops a good start
and you are planningeo cultivate them
thoroughly and as • frequently as your
labor supply will permit. There is
.• yet `ene other thing you can do to in-
,•, crease the yield, and that is to apply,
fertilizers along the row. just before
• you cultivate the corn, potatoes and
'other boecr crops. Fertilizers are
• • concentrated ''seluble phintfoode ' A
• side application, worked into thek
ground during the growing season, is
just like a pail 0 fresh milk given to
. a growing calf. •
, It is the food 'that makes the crop
' and animal growth.. -The application
- of fertilizers before cultivation ie not
so tedious and difficult an operation
as- might he imagined. A simple- op-
Jiaratus can be rigged,up as follows:—
Take an ordinary tin funnel which is
6 ,or & inches across the top arid fit R.
into a piece of 'rubber hose or a small
rain piperabout 3 or 4 feet long.- When
a bage' of fertilizer is swung over the
. back cut hale in the cckner of it
• • and hold the funnel under the hole. As
. •
you walk' along the row you can guide t
' the loose ped of the hose or pipe so •
• ', that a stream ef .fbrtilizer runs along c
:the row, not too neae the growing
- • crop. Do this before you cultevate and
the cultivation will work the Plant-
, , food into the soil. • There are cultiva- s
Uri connections of the so and prevent
the escape0 moisture. - •
Now, the rapidly growing crops
quickly send their tiny roots oat
across the spaces between the rows,
and the smallest rootlete frequently
come within an inch of the surface 0
the soil; hence a deep cultivation, while
It may kill the weeds, p,runes off large
quantities of these feeding roots, and
virtually works to the starving of ,the
• plant: g ultivate shnilowerand 'shal-
lower as the season goes on, and keep.
a liege further away each time from
the growing crop. It is unnecessary
to quote' figures and experinients to
prove this statement, suffice it to pay,
there is an abundance of prof on file
to show that too close and too deep
cultivation, while it makes a crop look
good, actually cute down the yields

kept down, but they can bp cut off at

'While the• crops ,are. young and
be-
fore the branches cause enough shade
to prevent the exposure of the ground

the Sabbath day, that is, the Jewish
Sabbath, he goes out to where the
Jews congregate, which was by the

Jee,
Throughout the country- there le an
excellent lamb crop this spring: These
lambs, vehether for market or breed-
ing purposes, should all be -docked.
Docking is simply a meane of improv-
ing sanitation among sheep and. should
be'done. • it is not a painful or injiiii-
ous operation to a lanib if done at the
right titneater in the right way. Every.
lambenhould be docked by the time he
is two weeks old. The best possible
instrument for this purpose is a large
pair of sharp pincers which should be
heated ami the tail cut off while the
pincers are hot, leaving : -a stub not
more than an inch lorig. The nee of
