While it is not usually recognized,
this ability to grow a fair or good

little or nothing, is what puts good
farmers in a class by themselves.
The man who secures a poor crop
in an off season, usually get an income
inadequate to care for his expenses,
On the other hand, lie who, through
skill, can grow a reasonably good crop
in a .year when production is low and
prices high, can hardly fail to reap
richer harvests than is obtained in
normal seasons:
While weather conditions may de-

One Good Way to Water
Plants.
After trying practically all meth-
ods, this one seems to me the best
method—certainly for the watering
of individual plants such as tomatoes,
ueppers, egg -plants, small .trees,
bushes, and the like:
ialte an old' bucket or Iarge tin cat
In canon or more) that is no longer
useful in its ordinary capacity. Punch
holes in the bottom. Placa in the bot-
tom two or three melee of strawy
manure. Now dig beside the plant a
holo about two inches deep and tete
it pleoe the can. Pack the soil about
it, Make sure throughout this o•,.ene-
tion that the plant's roots are not
badly disturbed. Leave the can in
place through the whole season, end
whenever you think the plant is badly
in need of water, just fill the can. The
water will soak slowly and judiciously
down through the mulch and the small
holes to the roots of the plant. No
water is wasted: The surface soil is
kept dry. The moisture is supplied
exactly where it is needed. Freen time
to time, if you'are growing fancy
fruits or vegetables, add a little fortil-
izer to the water,
Cutting Roses.
Roses are best cut after sundown,
or before the sun is hot upon them
in the morning. It is well to place
them in water immediately, or cut the
stems afresh when doing so, es air
enters the channels at the cut end and
rapidly withers the tissues. If roses
are to be shipped or carried any dis-
tance, let then stand deep in water
in a dark, cool plate for several beefs
before packing them.
How far down to out is a ticklish
gneetion. It depends upon whether
you prefer long -tem -reed roses in the
house, or a bush in your garden. A
successful •carnpromise is to cut the.
bower• -stem back to two bbd's; that le,
leave two loaves of the flower -sterns en
the Midi. Two new shoots usually
come from these two buds. In the
case of strong shoots from the root
this rule le modified: to the extent of
keaping the bush in synunetty, Vet/
short stems can be out back with
safety to one bud.
