Upon, eaeh of a number of farms co- operating with the Geneva (N.

This was compound- ed, from 1,000 ponds acid rock, 350 pounds salphate potash, 450 pounds. dried blood and 200 pounds nitrate of soda. It cost $24 a ton, or $8 for the small application, $9 for the larger one. The 500 pounds application proved more predtable than the greater amount. 83 it produced au average inereaae in the cop of 8,874 pounds per acre, in- suring a net profit of $1.26 per acre from its use; while 750 pounds gave an average increase of 5.264 pounds per aeee. but the added yield. would only bring. at current prices, a profit of 87 cents.

So after fang, deep thoteeht, after mime consideration, Daisy resolr- ed upon taking the matter in ber own hands, and solving the mystery. If she found that he loved some one else, what ehould she do? Her sweet face fitteh- ed; her little white bands clenched themselves tightly together; her heart beat with hot, angry pain. What should she do? "Ale me! how hopeless and how helpless I am, after ail! What could I d ?" But, after long deliberation, Daisy a larger trough, from which it is dis- tributed. The large trough ishould be and about 1 foot wide, 6 inehes deep 10 to 12 feet long, in order not to be too heavy for carrying or dragging about. This may be dispensed with en- tirelyby simply shoveling out a similar sized reservoir to hold the liquid tera- porarily while it is divided into the small furrows. If the trough is used, auger holes 81)010 be bored in one side every foot or more to allow the liquid to escape. These holes can be stopped by pings or by nailing tin lids inside, to raise wheu needed, or dropped, down when holes are closed. Joel Sboruaker, who describes tbe foregoing Methods of tieing liquid far- tilizer in Farm and Fireside, also says Last year I hauled several loads of well rotted manure mixed with straw and. scattered it in piles at the k -ad of my garden irrigating furrows.

Every experiment made has demonstrated that liquid fer- tilizers are valuable, and a vat will amply repay the gardener and small fruit grower who depends upon the market. The products can be obtained earlier, the coality is superior, and the quantity almost doubles from judicious fertilizing by some liquid applications. If no other process is available, a ePraY PlemP, which every gardener and orchardist should have to fight insects, may be satisfactorily used in connec- tion with liquid fertilizers. The plants are not injured or made unfit for use by using liquid fertilizers, as there is no odor taint left after a few hours, and the growing vegetables take up the ele- ments desired the same as from manure spread upon the soil. Sowing Grain In the Mud. I3eyond the region of the Atlantic oast and the influence of the chain of great lakes farmers usually fall plow all 'their land for spring grain in order to get it in as early as possible. They say that spring wheat, oats and barley do rattch better when thus sown, as they get an early start and mature before the extreme summer heats begin. There is another reason. The fall plowed land Sowinit Different Kinds of Grant. The Ohio Farmer thinks it is best, if one wishes to sow two or more kinds of grass seed on the same ground, to sow each kind separately over the entire ground. Timothy and clover may be mixed before sowing, but clover is heavier and flies much farther in sow- ing, and tends to settle at the bottom of the seeder. If mixed together, this should be guarded against, and you should not attempt to sow wider thau the timothy will tboroughly cover, let- ting the clover lap whatever is neces- sary. The lighter grasses, such as red - top, bluegrass, orchard grass and the like, must be sown separately, at any rate. News and Notes. One only out of six foreign varieties of cabbage tested under the auspices of the Geneva (N. Y.) station for the de- partment of agriculture last season proved to be promising. This is a vari- ety of the drumhead type and would probably develop into a useful kind for the south and west Aside from the products of small gar- dens and the -fishing industry, Alaska is almost entirely dependent for its food supplies on materials ebipped there. An important function of the agricul- tural station now established will be to prepare the way for agriculture and to aid in its development.
