The Kcautiful Women of Toledo
As we clattered along the roughly
cobbled streets which ied to the Kcco
dovcr or market place women came to
the windows to have a peep at tha
strangers who arrived with such ud
seemly haste They are very beaut
ful the women of Toledo tall aud wil
lowy and as dark as night and as
mysterious Too late we saw that ev
ery iron reja through which the dark
eye of Ihe Semitic maidens flashed
down upon us was surmounted by the
sacred symbol and thut all are ortho
dox Christians in Toledo to day While
the creeds have vanished the physical
characteristics have not and we met
on every side faces which tell the story
of the vanished races more interesting
ly than even the deserted synagogues
and the silent mosques Century

Groomins Joracs in Hot Weather
Horses hard at work in hot weather
should be groomed fully as carefully as
they are in winter It is not quite so
pleasant a task for the horseman as it
is when the warmth from the animal
and the labor in using the brush are
pleasurable But It is of even greater
advantage to the horse to be relieved
of the grime and dust which will ac
cumulate in his hair after a hard days
work Grooming is not only a relief by
the agreeable glow it gives to the skin
but it is also an aid to digestion mak
ing the groomed horse stronger and bet
ter fitted every way for hard work

A Ventilated Cliiekcn Coop
Thousands of chickens are ruined
every summer by crowding them into
close coops at night without proper
ventilation When the chicks have be
come feathered they do not need very
warm quarters at night especially
n
where twenty or more are housed in
one coop A large dry goods box makes
a good coop Put a roof above it and
slats as shown in the cut The air
can enter but the projecting roof keeps
out all rain The large door in front
permits the coop to be cleaned out
readily Keep the floor covered with
dry loam Chicks will thrive in this
coop Orange Judd Farmer
Cow Peas
Cow peas may not be a profitable
crop for market but they will prove
valuable on the farm au a renovator
The cow pea like clover is a nitrogen
gatherer shades the soil in summer
thus promoting nitrification and hav
ing a large root development it pumps
water from below and with it the min
eral matter existing in the soil which
it gives up to the surface soil on its
decay It grows on both heavy and
light soils and seldom fails to thrive
Keeping Sheep in Orchards
The apple orchard after it gets old
enough to bear is the best sheep pas
ture One of the great advantages of
pasturing sheep in the orchard is to
destroy the fallen fruit This they will
do even better than hogs which are
usually recommended for this purpose
Tigs will only eat apples after they are
nearly or quite ripe unless they are
starved to it The small green apples
are sometimes almost bitter Sheep
like this bitter taste and will run to

How to Apply Fertilizers
Should fertilizer be applied in the
hills or broadcast It may not be a
mistake to apply very little over eacr
hill as a starter but it is better to
broadcast All fertilizer must be dis
solved before it can be utilized and the
greater the surface over which it is
spread the more water it will receive
The roots of nearly all plants spread
ing pig The nerves of the muscles j and grow near the surface and have as
of the back and hip are the parts af
fected It usually begins with a slight
stiffness and it varies very much in
its progress Sometimes it is very rapid
aud at others slow When it is slow

FIO 1
great feeding capacity off from the
plants as near them To apply fertilizer
in the hills is to concentrate it and
much of it will be unused or lost The
best results are obtained when it is dis
tributed over the surface and harrowed
in to be carried down by the rains
Experiments n Cultivation
Deep cultivation of some crops Is
equivalent to pruning the roots This
is especially the case with corn which
sends its roots in every direction close
to the surface of the soil Experiments
in cultivating show that when the roots
were cut two inches four inches and
six inches below the surface the in
crease of crops was greatest when the
cultivation was shallow the greatest
harm being done by deep cultivation at
the last stages of growth of the plants
The object should be to simply loosen
the top soil when cultivating corn and
to avoid cutting the roots as much as
possible
When Land Pi jstcr Duch Harm
Land plaster attracts moisture ana
thus helps make the land colder than
it would otherwise be It is moisture
the grasses and clover wairt Corn
likes hot weather In a cold wet
spring it may do harm on corn Wood
ashes either old or new help to warm
the soil If they are caustic they set
vegetable matter to fermenting If
they have been kept until they have ab
sorbed carbonic acid gas and ammonia
from the air such ashes directly sup
ply nitrates to the plant roots and
stimulate them to aw more rapidly

Vate for Postured Plicep
The idea that sheep in pasture need
no water except what they get from
feeding on grass wet with dew is quite
commonly prevalent among farmers
In June when the grass is itself suc
culent sheep at pasture may need
nothing But during the midsummer
heats there are many nights when no
dew falls and when the grass is itself
parched so that there is little succu
lence in it At such times the excre
ment of sheep will be in round hard
lumps just as it is in winter When
this condition shows itself it meani
that the sheep need more water

Onions by the Acre
Wherever one farmer takes to grow
ing onions and makes it successful his
neighbors are pretty sure to imitate his
example Oscar Belclen of North Hat
field in this State has for years grown
onions- and this year he has sixteen
acres -Many ot ins neighbors are
planting onions and there will this
year be acres of this vegetable in the
town Xo doubt the experiences which
each grower will gain will en a Wo him
to make a greater success of the onion
crop than would be possible when he
first began its cultivation Exchange
Whitewash Spraying
Results from spraying trees in win
ter with whitewash to save the buds
as was advised by vthe director of the
Missouri station show marked benefit
Where trees were sprayed four times
they were full of blossoms while those
not sprayed at all have but few or
none
Pea and Radishc3
Peas and radishes for successive
crops should not be overlooked Do
not be content with only one crop in a
garden As soon as any crop is fully
harvested prepare the ground and plaur
something else A garden can be kept
in fill service until frost appears
A KAVAL HEROS STOUY
From the Times Herald Chicago 111
Late in 1SG1 when President Lincoln

among the first to respond It was at the
terrific bwnbardment of the Vicksburg

a shattered arm from a charge of shrap

After painful months in the hospital he
recovered sufficiently to be sent to his
home at Warren Ohio Another call for
troops fired his patriotic zeal and Clark
