Start Seed In Houte and Trantplant
When Danger of Froit It Over
Plan Paya Well.
(By M. COVERDELU)
The following plan may be prac
ticed in planting various kinds of
seeds, but it is especially adapted to
watermelons, since this fruit, when
placed on the market early, is a won
derful profit maker.
Set small tin cans on live coals and
beat them until the bottoms may be
removed, place several cans in a box
and fill them with loose, rich soil.
prepared Just as you would a seed
bed for any other kind of seed.
Early in the season plant about a
dozen watermelons in each can and
keep the box where it is warm (in
the house most of the time). A
sprinkling of sand on the surface will
help to keeD down any weeds that
may spring up.
Dampen the soil dally and provide
as much sunlight as possible by set
ting the box in the window. When
the day is warm and bright place the
box out of doors, thus supplying those
two essentials to plant-production
air and light
When the plants are large enough
for transplanting and the danger of
frost is over slip the soil together
with the young plants from the cans,
place them in a rich hill prepared ex
pressly for the purpose, being care
ful not to remove any of the soil from
around the roots of the plants.
After they are all started growing
thin them out until there are five
plants in a hill.
Besides producing an early erop and
securing a high price for the product
this method is especially commend
able on account of avoiding the dan
ger of late frost and destruction by
bugs and worms, which last-named is
a common occurrence at an early
stage where the plants are propagated
In the open field.
Also the plants will have secured a
growth of several inches before they
are placed in the groun'd and the soil
being free from weed-pests, less labor
will be required to keep the plants
thrifty and unobstructed in their development.

SHEEP REQUIRE WARM FOLD
With Proper Methods of Feeding and
Care Animals Will Emerge from
Winter In Good Condition.
Sheep, as a general rule, emerge
from the winter In a poorer condition
than they enter it If proper methods
of feeding and care are used the re
verse of this should be the case.
Sheep will thrive much better on
forage crops than oh dry feed; hence
the advisability of sowing some forage
crop which will grow late in the fall.
Several crops have proved very satis
factory, but n'one probably more so
than cowpeas. This plant grows lux
uriantly and has a large percentage
of protein. Being a legume, it also
enriches the soil by the addition of
nitrogen, one of the main elements of
plant food. Cowpeas should be plant
ed in May, June, and the earlier part
of July. The amount of seed to plant
to the acre is from 20 to 40 pounds.
The change from green food to dry
food should be made gradually. Straw,
fodder, silage and alfalfa are some
of the dry feeds which may be used.
Cleanliness in both watering and feed
ing troughs Is essential. A good way
to keep the troughs clean is to turn
them over after the sheep have eaten
grain.
Sheep need a warm fold. Don't for
get that. The fold should be made of
tight board fencing which breaks the
wind and also makes the sheep more
secure from dogs and wolves. It
should be large enough to provide
room for all. There should be no cold
drafts through sheep's quarters.
