Question -M, A. C,: -My seeding with grain last year was a failure. It did not catch: Would you recommend manuring and plowing the atublile for potatoes this year? Would it do for beans where potatoes grew last year? It was a big growth of clover, also manured, plowed under and potatoes planted, I want toreserve an old inendow to plow under for corn this year and will also have to plow last year's potato and corn ground for oats this year? Answer: -The land where your seeding failed, if plowed up and then carefully manured, should make good potato ground this year. I would ad- vise in addition to the manure about 400 pounds of fertilizer carrying 2 t 3% ammonia, 8 to 12% availabl phosphoric acid and 1 to 2% potash Scatter pus down the drill rows when you are planting the potatoes. A good method of application is to drop the seed pieces of potatoes and cove them lightly with soil, and then dus the fertilizer alon over the hill an drills and finish the covering. Thi addition of available plantfood will give the crop a strong, vigorous start. .This land would do well for beans, also, Question -R. :-I have a piece o land that has been run for years with out clover or manure. This land i quite sandy and contains practically o' nhumus. Now, if I apply 12 good loads of manure to the acre, whicl would be the moat profitable crop for me to raise, corn or potatoes? I raised corn on similar land last year that went 00 crates to the acre, wits manure. Would this ground Bold moisture sufficient to grow a good crop of potatoes? • Answer: -If you have potato seed, by all means potatoes would be the most profitable crop for you to grow on the land in question. I would re- commend adding fertilizer to the man- ure, as per answer to M. A. C. Under normal conditions you should not have any trouble from lack of moisture. If you have to buy potato seed, a.tpresent prices it may be more profitable to grow corn, but this you will have to decide fromyour own local conditions. If you seed it to corn, I would advise adding about 200 pounds of fertilizer to the acre, spreading it broadcast and working it into the ground before you plant the corn. It should carry from 2 to 3% ammonia and 8 to 10% phosphoric acid. Question -W. A. C.: I would like to get your opinion In regards to plant- ing beans in hills, planted 28 incites' each way. Do you think the yield would be as good as if tidy were drill- ed? They could be worked both ways and .kept much cleaner and less seed would do. The seed is so high in price this year it would be quite a saving in the cost of the crop. Answer: -I am very much in favor of planting beans in the hill, especial- ly on land that is likely to be weedy or Where disease has been prevalent. As a rule, the yield will be almost as high as if they were drilled and fre- quently better as disease is not so like - to spread from one plant to another, taken to sae that the fertilizer does not come in close cortact with the beans in the soil, Question -R. M.:- I have about six- teen acres of wheat that is badly kill- ed in the low places, and I don't wish to plow the wheat up on account of expectations of a high price next year. Do you think it would be ad. viea'ble to drag up these low places and sow to Spring wheat? Could it all be harvested' together? If so please tell me Where seed could be procured and how and when it should be sown. If spring wheat is not advisable'how would either buckwheat or beans be? Answer: -If it is not already too late when you read this answer\ and e you can secure the seed, I would ad- vise the sowing of spring wheat where the winter wheat has killed out. It is almost impossible to tell whether the spring wheat and winter wheat 2'coald be harvested together or not. t This would depend entirely on the d weather and whether the two wheats s ripen at the same time. In fact, I should expect tl-em not to ripen to- gether, You should sow the wheat at once. All that is necessary to do would be to harrow or disk up the ground and drill in the wheat. Per - f haps you will be able to secure spring wheat seed in your community or from some of thg elevator men. Unless you are able to get it close at hand it wi;1 be too late to scw it. In such case, either buckwheat or beans 'will make a splendid crop, In fact, I would prefer the planting of beans as they can lie put in any time up to the t last of June, just so they have time enough to ripen off before frost, In this case the ground should be thor- oughly disked or harrowed up and worked down, after which the beans may be planted in rbws 21 or 28 inches anal `. A grain Eris. with part of the grain tubes stopped up offers the best means of planting the beans: When planted this way soroe fertilizer can also be applied. The best way w y prob- ably is to stop up the fertilizer tube directly over the row containing the beans but allowing the fertilizer to run down the tubes on each side of the one dropping the beans. Question -J. B. H.: -Isn't it consid- ered poor policy to plant, corn in ground that grew sugar beets last year, if only a light crop? There are two if which are desired for corn and beans. One is sod and the oth- er grew beets last year, soil about the same. Both corn and beans require rich ground, which one will be best' to follow beets? • Constipation -- the bans of old ago is not to be cured by harsh purge. - 'hives; they rather aggravate the trouble.

I would also put on about 200 to 300 pounds of fertilizer to the acre. The fertilizer may be put on broadcast and worked into the ground before the beans 141:0 planted; or it may be put on as the beans are planted 11 care is Answer: -Regarding beans and corn following sugar beets, the U. S. De- partment' of Agriculture studied 115 farms and found that, following sugar beets, the yield of corn was increased by 12 bushels to the acre and beans 5 bushels. This would indicate that either corn or beans -Could be planted in the ground that was in sugar beets„ From these figures we ought not to judge that sugar beets make the soil rich in fertility but rather because they are cultivated during the summer the soil is put in better tiltlt for the growing of the following crops. - I would recommend that the sod ground be put to corn and that beans be put in the sugar beet land' as beans do not do well on freshly turned sod or where too much fresh manure or organic matter isadded to the soil, If about 300 pounds of fertilizer analyzing' high in phospheric acid are used on the corn land and probably 200 to 250 on the bean field, good crops should be secured this year. i'fig), al fie Givo trach calf a chance to drink tee- ter .atleast twice earl' day, What the cream scllar'ator lone clone for ;farmers in the wa.y of improved and labor-saving methods of creaming niillc, the milk machine will do inn milk - mg cows, which is one of the most troublesome jobs on n dairy form; W. 11, Johnstone of Moose Jaw, Sack,, who uses a three -unit milking machine, says• that two men can run machine, weigh milk and strip twenty COWS per• hour.

"School Girl": -The cause of the so- calIed "blackheads" is the clogging of the pores with dust and grease, which hardens and pits the face with tiny black specks. The first step is to thoroughly cleanse the skin.

Waal' off in the morning with warm water and rinse with cold. Continue this treatment until the blackheads have disappeared. To contract the pores wipe the face with a little alcohol or eau de cologne. Frequently pimples appear with the blackheads, and when this s ns( -the case make an ointment of the following ingredients, 2 grams beta naptho1,.20 grams sulphur pre- cipitate, 20 grams- potash soap. Mix thorotiahly and apply to the pimples at night. This preparation may, be used at the same time as the black- head ointment.

(CO. ifrile Yy a ,A Question of ars" "Pink is the proper color," the 1100 e rabbit politely informed Araminta Jane. They were having a most de- lightful afternoon tea. Dorothy Anne,. who had been feeding them dainties --- bits of cake, gooseten and crackers - had quite suddenly decided to see whether any of her flowers were u and had left the white rabbit and th china doll together under a large tre in the orchard. "I am sure blue is the proper color," Araminta contradicted, still, very politely. That was how it started! Both wore sure they were right and soon they made such a noise that a little squirrel came to see what the trouble was. "Brown!" he maintained stoutly when they told him of the argument. A crow hopping after a fat worm, stop- ped long enough to caw, "Black." And he was upheld by the raven, who hap- rened along soon after. "I91 go and ask the owl," offered the squirrel after they had argued them- selves hoarse without conning to any agreement. "Surely I know, for she picked me out herself from brown and black-eyed dolls," Araminta sobbed. "Surely she must know that blue eyes are the best!" "Back scampered the little squirrel. "He segs it's a question of 'I's'," he announced breathlessly. "Silly, isn't that what we all know. We meant the proper color for eyes." Just then back from the garden danced Dorothy Anne and Elizabeth and Ruthie, her little friends. "Oh, look at Dottie's new doll. Aren't her eyes the' -most beautiful bluer" ex- claimed Ruth, picking up Araminta and dancing up and down with her. "But „look at the cutis rabbit with 'its cunning pink eyes," Elizabeth said, "Dorothy, what color do you think eyes ought to be?" Dorothy looked carefully at the big brown eyes of both her little Monde. "I—l" she started to say. The little squirrel, who had been wasting to hear the answer, suddenly chuckled to himself, "Now I know what the Owl meant," lie whispered to the rabbit as he scampered past him. Do you?

During the first week in June, kill off, dispose of or remove from the flock, the male birds after the breed. ing season, Their presence in the flock after this date causes a loos of a million dollars• a year to Canadian farmers through the sale of partially incubated and bad eggs in the produce 1� which is marketed. All old hens should also be marketed at this date. The proper way to carry a fowl 10 to place it under the arm, the head pointing to the rear, and the feet held firmly by the hand. In this way the bird can be carried for miles without the least discomfort to it or the per- son carrying it. In former years, the common prac- tise was to carry poultry by the legs, head hanging downward. This was a bad mode and one that never was used by regular poultrymen, When the head is hanging downward there is no- thing to prevent a rush of blood to it, and it is the belief that many cases of vertigo can be traced to such acts of carelessness. But still more cruel is lifting ,the body by their wings. Should the fowl struggle when thus handled, it is a very easy matterto snap the cords of jtheure wingsthebirdand thus permanently in- . Poultry roughly handled lose confi- dence in their- attendant, and loss of confidence in the hennery often has a bad effect upon the egg crop. Besides, any method that points the least bit toward cruelty should not be permit- ted. Gentleness is a virtue that even hens appreciate. The mash for the chicks may 'con- sist of equal parts of bran, middlings and cornmeal, and half part of beef scrap, but the composition is more or less dependent on the feeds that are most available. Pullets that are stunted by poor feeding during the first few weeks of their lives will prove a decided dis- appointment from the standpoint of their egg production. freak of Nature is the lost river MI The most effective method for'body Kentucky.
