Musical Successful gardening operations necessitate the possession of a good compost heap. It is easily made and a wonderful convenience and help- It stimulates growth in flowers and produces bigger and more highly colored blooms. For roses especially it is unequalled. A compost heap of manure from cow barns is used by all big rose growers. The foundation of a compost heap is manure which is best obtained from a cow stable. In case this is not available, strawy manure from horse stables or dropping from poultry houses will serve. Pile the manure about a foot deep, then alternate layers of sods, lawn clippings, Weeds and any other vegetable material with manure. In dry weather the heap should be watered and should then be left until the material begins to de- cay. Turn the heap over occasion- ally and add some fertilizing ma- terial; also some additional clippings, weeds, leaves and other similar ma- terial. One advantage of a compost heap is that it affords a means of convert- ing almost every kind of garbage into ;valuable fertilizer. A compost heap ' of this character should stand a year ,to be really most valuable as a ter- tilizer. If, however, it has been kept damp and turned frequently it can be used in the course of two or three months. In a year’s time a compost heap should be mellow, fine and black land sufficiently moist to make a ball when squeezed in the hand. It should not be wet nor should it emit an :Offensive odor. Seasicknes: Also an Aid to Literary Inspiration Mrs. Howe, who wrote “The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” one of the finest national hymns in the world, got the inspiratiOn in bed. Someone had suggested to her that she should set some fine words to the tune of “John Brown,” but though she tried repeatedly she could not compose any- thing that would pass muster. One night she dreamed she had composed the poem, and waking up got out of bed, went to her desk, and wrote the whole poem as it stands to-day. . Swinburne told Mr. Edmund Gosse that “Baudelaire” was written in a Turkish bath. This poet is often a. little trOpical, and he evidently want- ed to get the right atmOSphere. A famous playwright lately confessed that almost all his best ideas came to him While rushing about in a. motor car. The swift motion seemed to excite thought. So much was this the case that he had had his car fitted with a tiny writing table, so that he could jot down all his happy thoughts as they came rushing on the wings of the Wind into his brain. When the engine stops the inspiration stops roof It is a remarkable fact that that poem of spring and flowers, “Oh, to be in England now thatApril’s here!” was written during a bad attack of seasickness in the Mediterranean by Robert Browning. Mark Twain speaks of a man. W110 had the “Oh, my’s!" very bad in similar circumstances, but Browning’s “Oh, my’s!” turned to poetry of the highest'order. Where there are no known trails time is wasted trying to stop a forest fire at no particular vantage point, until probably hours, and days, in some cases, afterwards when some one has had a look over the ground. This vantage point should be known beforehand, and a concentration made there, with a line of retreat to the next defence, already known, in case of a sudden fall back. .With good maps, artificial water supply Where natural supplies fail, not a very diffi- cult or costly matter, and some at- tempt at organization, a portable fire pMp would be a very useful and valuable weapon in the hands of the men in the field. There is too" much £31k as to What should be done and too little action taken in the field. What is wanted is more of this talk put into action. The average forester seems to think that when a decent map and estimate is made that all is done. Both are extremely ‘uSeful, but do not go far enough. Finding Fires is Not Sole Task of Forest Ranger Good Butter Helps Demand Good butter is an‘ essential asset of the dairy business under any con- dition. Each pound of good butter sold increases the consumptive de- mand of butter. Quality is the most meetive advertising medium; in fact, It is an absolute necessity for the per- manency of the business. The better the quality of butter the greater its aonsnmptiou; the more brisk and the more favorable the butter market. the urge: the returns. Quality is also the only really effective means to successfully compete against butter PUTTlNG THE FIRE OUT QUEER”! INSPIRED TEE DURHAM CHRONICLE. t‘tuz‘s‘iULU S.

My reply is, yes! for the purpose of starting a clover cover crop, if for nothing else. It is doubtful of what value lime is to increase our apple crops, but (er; a ~nly many orchards will not produce clover without lime. The ea :ntity per acre required will vary so: shat, and in many cases all the lime requirements may be made up by a judicious use of slag. I am con- vinced, by our experiments at Kent- ville. that lime in some form is essen- tial in order to get a growth of clover on many of our soils. The reason why vetch has given better results than'clover is that vetch will thrive on soils which are quite acid, al- though liming is usually helpful to it. It has, therefore, a far wider range of adaptability than clover, which tends to disappear altogether when sofls become exceedingly acid. Lime, of itself, will not always give in- creased crops. On poor soils there is not the gain one might expect, for lime will not furnish the necessary nitrogen, potash and phosphoric acid.
