It means just n! soon ll you can get on ths lawn when vtinlcr is breaking up, ns soon as tr just before the frost has started to come out oi tho ground. The ground may be frozen and have a light covering oi snow. it _ may have thawed once and then t- . i frozen again. Naturally the feeding can't be done when the ground ls too salt or too wct, as during the first day or two oi a thaw. Early feeding should be done before that condition exists. Ii the soil con- dition is right, don't worry about ills calendar. Early feeding gets the plant food right down to the roots ln time to be ready for use at the first signs oi spring growth. Alternate freez- ing anti thawing produces a soil structural condition called “honey combing." The soil is much more porous when lt ls honey combed; consequently. snow and rain will ‘ ilnd their way through the soil much easier and deeper when this condition is present. ‘ Plant food applied during this period is placed right around the grass roots by the melting snow or spring rains. Plant food must be available to the roots themselves and early application gets it there easier than any other way at any other time. '1‘ho grass has not started its top growth during the , best period for early application; therefore, plant food npplicd early: dens not require watering . . . ll “V1113! of time and money.

The justices on their circuits were ordered to probe into any murders of these people. and into what became of their property: all who were in possession oi their effects and had not compounded by a fine. were to be brought to justice. The Jews—-as was the case in oth- er countries -— were formally pro- claimed to be the property of the King. Their property was to be registered under penalty of for- feiture. In order to prevent the destruction oi bonds and obliga- tions (as at York), they were made in duplicate: one copy to be held by the Jew, the other to be de- posited in a chest with three locks. the keys whereof were to be held respectively by a Jewish and a Christian attorney, the third by two public notaries. At every stag) of the proceedings a. fee was to be paid to the Crown. King John, probably the worst King the English ever had, be- gan hls reign (1199) by heaping such favors on the Jews that numbers daily flocked to his King- dom. John though weak in char- acter, was crafty and unprin- clpled, and it is believed, had formed a scheme to allow them to accumulate ample wealth in order to plunder them and make him- self independent oi his rebellious subjects. He called their high- priest "our beloved friend" in a deed granting him leave to fulfil his office. Then n charter was Luued grantin; to the Jews of England and Normandy the rlgSt to settle where they pleased, to hold lands and fees, and to take mortgages. (All these had been forbidden by Henry I.) They might ~ move about freely with their chat- s, which. like themselves, were the property of the King and might not be molested. They might buy and sell. excepting only the sacred vessels of the Church. Many other privileges were grant- ed. but the Jews had to pay John, 4.000 marks for the Charter. These laws. however gratifying to the Jews. did not endear them to John's Christian subjects. All classes, says the historian. look- ed on them with dark jealousy. Perpetual tales went the rounds, relating how they crucified Chris- tian children: and the citizens or London, envious of their growing wealth. treated them with many indignities.

Under the wings the color was whitish. tinged brown, with plenty of round dark spots, and there was a black crescent across the breast—partly eaten away. The rump was whitish with black bars. and the tail-feathers dark- mlored. Like Joseph‘s coat, our Flicker has many colors! The Flicker feeds on various wild fruits, though l have never heard it accused of molesting the orchards. Like the other woodpeckers it is more concerned with insects as a diet. and es-' pecially with ants which it picks: account of his immediate neces- lsltles. and certainly with the knowledge that neither the eccles- iastical authorities nor the Barons would interfere. John suddenly changed his attitude towards the hapless Israelites. The order went forth that all Jews. regardless of age or sex, were to be imprison- ed and their wealth confiscated to the Kings Exchequer. Torture was applied to all who were sus- pected of holding back a secret store. A story is told of a wealthy Jew of Bristol. from whom 10,000 marks were demanded and who was to lose a tooth a day till he He was obstinate but gave 1n after losing seven teeth; then the King increased his de- mand to 60.000 marks, which the miserable man paid, to escape further torture.
