Many suc- * ~tessful bean growers claim it is ad- vantageous to apply the fertilizers a week to ten days ahead of the time the beans are sown.

Hairy vetches can be sown on poor sandy soil; but of course will. give best results on soil in better state of fertility. , R. R.:--What is the best fertilizer for orchards? Answer:--For orchard fertilization I would recommend a mixture carry- ing 1 to 2 per cent.-ammonia and 10 to 12 per cent. phosphoric acid. Use this at the rate of about 10 lbs. per Neserrr, THOMSON & COMPANY . To be sure, the house-fly is a nusi- ance every Summer and to "swat the fly" after he has laid his eggs is practically uséftss. To get the great- benefit it should be killed in its b; ing places or caught before it can lay its Eggs. "For every fly you kill early in the season you kill a million," has often been said and there is much truth to it. Proper control measures taken early in the season will do much to eliminate this annual menace to the public health. - ' Methods of combatting the house-fly may be summed up as follows: 1. Protect the breeding places from the fly. This can be accomplished by keeping. the garbage in gnclosed con- tainers where the flies®will not have access to it. In thg country care should "TIME NOW TO SWAT THE HOUSE FLY tom, placed near the manure piles will catch many of the adults. 4. Shelter food and dwellings from them. The use of screens on doors and windows of dwellings is quite gen- eral now and should be even more so. Food such as milk, butter, etc., should be covered or place in a fly-proof place. g 5. Poison their food. Many flies will enter the house in spite of our eternal vigilance and will have to be dealt with there. The fly-swatter should be kept busy but alone it can not cope with the invaders that are constantly com- ing into the house. They need water to drink and by giving it to them with a little poison in it it will aid in their destruction. One poison of this nature is to fill a shallow dish about half full of water and add to a tablespoonful of i * 'ates are the old men and women, chil- i dren and babies and in some cases the young women being sent back from | earlier in the war. s they cannot be used to work and eat too much food they are being sent back. 2.

The bride's notes of thanks should be written on note paper in preference to correspondence cards. All of the wedding presents that arrive before the actual day or day before the wedding should be ac- knowledged before the bride goes away, If time does not permit of ac- knowledgment of these and those ar- riving after the wedding on the honey- moon trip, it is permissible to write these notes of thanks after the return home. 5. The terms dried, dehyrated and evaporated mean virtually the same thing--that 1s, removing the moisture from foods or drying them. | In evaporation, as a rule, the water is not all removed, as in evaporated milk and fruits.

If the plot is gravelly, possibly the best thing you can do is to seek to establish a stand of sweet clover on it. Prepare the soil early in the spring and seed with 6 or 8 lbs. of good seed to the acre. In handling the crop be sure to cut it sufficiently early so that the growth does not become woody, other- wise the hay will not be satisfactory. If the gravelly knoll is fairly produc- tive, early in the season, I would pre- fer to get a stand of alfalfa on it.

On oats for the same time the fertilizer produced an increase over the unfertilized of 29 to 48 byshels per acre. On wheat for the same period, the gain for fertilized wheat over unfertilized, ranged from 21 to 27 .5 bushels per acre. X. Y. Z.:--Do you recommend basic slag on garden vegetables? What is the best fertilizer for cucumbers? Answer:--Basic slag will give re- sults on cabbage, turnips and other cruciferous crops, but is not suffici- ently available to give best results with other garden vegetables. In fa ct, with the vegetables noted, basic slag will not give as good results as high grade fertilizers. For cucum- bers I would recommend on sandy soil from 800 to 500 Ibs. per acre of fertilizer carrying 2 to 5 per cent am- monia and 10 to 12 per cent. available phosphoric acid with as mich potash 'as it is possible to obtain at this time. 8.

The modern caponizing tools are so well made and the methods of doing the work so well developed that it has become an easy matter for anyone to get a set of tool and do their own caponizing. Full instructions come with the instruments, and as the oper- ation is not a very painful one for the cockerel, there should be no hesitation in attempting it if you are at all nim- ble of finger and have the ordinary set of nerves.
