count any more in the backward sec- 

 tion. A good dusting of air-slaked lime 

 over the top of the soil, between the 

 plants, will do no harm and may do 

 much good. When the soil gets dry 

 •'uough, scratch the lime in with a little 

 cultivator claw. Take some nitrate of 

 soda, which alone is a great fertilizer 

 for lettuce; dissolve some in a barrel 

 of water, at the rate of one teaspoonful 

 (not quite as high as you can heap it) 

 to each gallon of water. This is pretty 

 strong, but it will make the place dis- 

 agreeable for the worms and will en- 

 rich the soil to the limit for nitrogen, 

 which is the most needed for lettuce. 

 Try this solution on a place where the 

 worms are thick; pour it between the 

 rows and soak the ground pretty well 

 in that spot. In a few days dig in 

 and see whether you can find any 

 worms. For plants which are larger 

 use only half as strong a dose, as some 

 of the solution will wet the foliage and 

 may burn the edges if too strong. Ex- 

 l>oriment on a small part of a house.

and eventually the range will be 600 

 feet wide and will cover ten acres of 

 ground. Mr. Davis expects to specialize 

 on cucumbers. These will be supplied 

 to the Chicago and other markets. He 

 already has a similar plant located at 

 Morrison, 111. The principal reason for 

 his coming to Ottawa was because of 

 the price of coal. The coal can be
