In the plot both manured and fertilized a plot not fertilized a all shows the stalks very uneven in height, and small in size. Where 250 ibs. were applied, the stalks are more even in length. The plot both manured and fertilized was by all odds the best, this being decidedly noticeable at a distance. The greatest difference of wl between the plots was in the maâ€" turity of the corn, arid the yield of wars. On the unfertilized plot, most of the ears were simply nubbins, with very little corn on them, but with an eeeasional ear nearly mature. The plot with 250 Ks. of fertilizer had noticeably more ripe ears, but these "The plot manured and fertilized is by all odds the best. The corn was very tall, and nearly all of it ripe.

That dandelion greens and lamb‘s quarters are a good "spring medicine" has long been a common tradition. It has been found now that it is not without real scionâ€" tific foundation, Statistics show that farm children, in spite of their outâ€"ofâ€"doors life, pusâ€" er air and less congested living cond!. tions, are not as healthy, as a class, as the children of the cities.

He had swung his storm window out about two feet and had built a shelf from the bottom of the storm «ash to the window sill. The shelf was double with an inch space between the two thicknesses, This space was of course closed on the three outer sides and left open into the house. â€" The triangular spaces between the sides of the storm sash and the house were boarded .up. This provided an exce}â€" lent hotâ€"house of sufficient size for the starting of all the plants needed for a small garden.
