This s on early ife history " as Their t milâ€" fertilizer sown with the grain, it will speed up the growth of the wheat just the same as your feeding milk to the calf speeds up its growth. This is the big function of fertilizers in fall wheat growing. Do not forget the two esâ€" sential points: Plant your wheat late and fertilize it well to avoid the injury of the Hessian Fly. Roots and Rooting. | The quality of rooting that a crop develops has an immense bearing on the yield. This is especially true of fall wheat. Thousands of crops of wheat have been cut in . halfâ€"yes, quartered, through poor attachment to the soil. Holding the plant in the soil is by no means the only thing that roots do. Plant roots are the trunk lines and branches that bring up all the plant food (except carbon which the plant obtains from the air) from which the leaf, stalk and grain or other fruit is made. Investigators tell us that there are four general causes for the death of wheat. These causes have to do with roots and plant. They are: heaving, smother.ing, drying out of the moisture of seed and plant, and the action of severe cold itself on plant structure. With reference to the first two causes: You can do a great deal to avoid the killing out of your wheat by making sure that the plants develop a strong, farâ€"spreading rootâ€"growth before winter sets in. Botanists tell us that a wellâ€"deâ€" veloped plant may have as much as 500 feet of roots, that is, counting the measurements of the main roots and root hairs. This constitutes a treâ€" mendous feeding surface, and gives the plant to which it is attached an enormous advantage over poorly rootâ€" ed crops. One of the big advantages from fertilizing wheat is the development, it gives to the roots of plants. By' applying 200 to 300 lbs. to the acre| of a suitable wheat fertilizer at thei time of seeding, you not only provide, for a sufficlent top growth, but you, |give the rooting system of your erop. an immense boost in strength which serves the plant exceedingly well when alternate frosts and thaws in spring cause the heaving of wheat or | the heavy snows or ice storms of ‘»wintex‘ and spring tend to smother it out There have been hundreds of .in-'i stances in Ontario during the last, two years where fertilized wheat! which had been sown late to avoid thel Hessian Fly but was well fertilized, looked very unpromising when it went into the winter. In fact, it came through in spring looking so poor that the owners had contemplated plowing it up, but thinking of what effect the fertilizers had had in strengthening the roots of the plants,’ they let the fields stand. Immense, almost unbelievable growth resulted | and in very many cases highly profit-‘l able crops were harvested. The plants| which had made a comparatively poor: start had developed extensive root“ systems which served them exceedâ€" ingly well when the opportunity came for the wheat to grow. Remember when fertilizing your winter wheat you are providing for the grain cr‘;p 't};;ough the medium of enlarging and strengthening the root attachments to the wheat stand. Cord or Fabric. This Farm House Has Many Attractive Features â€" The house for which the floor plans are here presented was built last year on a 90â€"acre farm. .

Remembering that the efficient kitchen must not have too rfiany doors, it is limited to four, these being arranged so as to leave a maximum of wellâ€"lighted wall space. A large double window and a glazed rear door provides very _good light. A transom over the rear door secures good ventilation. No pantry is proâ€" vided, the owner preferring wall cupâ€" boards. The rear porch is screened, and ls‘ to be used for dining in the summerâ€" time. A screened porch is a very efective manner of keeping flies from the kitchen. This porch may be reached from either kitchen or dining room direct. On the second floor are three bed-‘ rooms and a large bath, each provided with a largeâ€"sized closet.

A highly perfumed powder should not be used. Powder should never be applied until the skin is thoroughly dry. In dressing the baby, he should be handled as little as possible. A fittle baby‘s body is very tender and if handled roughly or too much, he wi‘ll be made very uncomfortable. All the clothing should be drawn on and off over the feet instead of over the head.

Chapter 8. In the dedication â€" ceremonies there . were three principal acts: (1) The removal of the ark to its new resting place in the inner chamber, or most holy place, of the temple; (2) the speeches and dedicatory prayer of Solomon; and (3) the offering of sacrifice and celebraâ€" tion of the great feast of tabernacles, the autumn festival. 1â€"11. To Bring up the Ark. The ark was still an object of reverence, as it had been from the time of Moses. It represented to the people of Israel \God's dwelling in their midst, and His covenant with their nation, David had brought it to Jerusalem, and had kept it in a tent in Zion, that is the new town which he had built on the site of the old Jebusite fort, on "the lower \ southern spur of the eastern hill of 3;;\;;3&:{'7â€"- The name Zion was afterward given to the entire hill, inâ€" cluding the temple area on the Porth.

The month Ethanim, the seventh month was, in the old Jewish calendar, which is still used by the Jews, the first month, and began in September. ‘}Tho cherubim, angelic figures with outspread wings, stood one on either side of the ark, the right wing of one and the left wing of the other meetâ€" ing over the ark.

Best of all, manners can be cultivated if they are not natural, but the boy and girl should be careful to cultivate the right kind of manners, for manners in business are quite 39â€" lfennt from manners of society. How pleasant it is to meet a busiâ€" ness man or woman with that personâ€" ality which so quickly makes us feel curselves important and interesting. It is very easy to do just the opposite and make one feel small and insignifiâ€" cant, but the buyer or visitor or paâ€" tient or friend who meets the business man or woman in a business way and who is made to feel important will be apt to stand by that company or doctor or friend »whom the man or woman represents. On the other hand, a disagreeable and ‘overbearing manâ€" ing many,. Much of the success of certain wellâ€"known houses is due to the manner in which all people are addressed over the telephone. A cerâ€" tain employer will not allow rudeness over his telephone and asks his friends to report any impertinence. He once called a man on the telephone and asked for him and the girl on the \other end replied very rudely, Who | are you?" The man hung up immeâ€" | diately and turned to me.

Manners which are affected or obseâ€" quious are out of place in an office just as much as are the loud, rude voice and chewing of gum. A quiet, gool manner giving the impression of efficiency is expected and shows more dignity than exaggerated bowing un‘d' eeeeeii d Ee oi LC P scraping. If a man comes in and receives this kind of a reception he feels respected at least. If the manâ€" ner can be made a lttle bit cordial, all the better, but avoid overdoing the matter.
