It has been proved that there is about as much potash as nitrogen in tire surface of a good loam soil, and eensiderably more in the eubsoil. The xiitrogen, too, ie much more readily stnuble and more quickly used up or ]ot, and is frequently the limiting element in plant growth, To continue profitable production there must be tenstant addition to the nitrogen of the soil. LEGUMINOUS CROPS GATHER NITROGEN, "A leguminous crop will gather suf- fieient nitrogen to supply the require - nitrite of the crop following. But this cannot always be taken literally. A .good carver crop of crimson clover, or vetch, will fix 80 pounds or more of atmospheric nitrogen, aa much as is contained in a son of 4-10-0 fertil- izer. Legumes not only add to the soil nitrogen, but any crop worked into tile soil adds to the organic matter, Which makes the soil mellow, , easily worked and friendly to plant and bacterial life, This organic matter absorbs water and soluble plant foods, giving both up to the crop as needed. When land lies -bare, washing and blowing .of the surface soil are de- etrUctive, and many dollars' worth of soluble nitrogen phosphoric acid and potash are 'leached out and lost during fall, winter and spring. .A. cover crop will check almost all this loss and when plowed down the roots and tops not only give up their plant foods to nourish the following crop, but the weak acids formed in decay set free other insoluble mineral pinta food In the soil.

Thu e lime may take the place of some potaeh and nitro- gen in the fertilizer if the supply of organic matter Is maintained by man- ure and crops plowed in. Nothing, however, will exhaust soil more quick- ly when used alone, than lime. Phosphoic acid has given greater returns than any other single ferti- lizing element, Where legume cover crops are grown at frequent inter- vals and *wed down, possiely eup- plenseeted with some well -kept man- ure, there is little doubt thaf profit- able production may be maintained indefinitely on most good soils by the use ot phcephoric acid, lime and a minimum of nitrogen.

As the main objective of all breeding operations Is, or ehould be, Increased pro- ductiveness, this -point should be consid- ered next in importance to the aeleetion of the breeders. • Therefore, let us ex- amine a few characteristics on thie score. Those who uae nests can fielect the heav- iest producers bit a simple reference to their records. Those who have no auch records must resort to other methods. sAungegelantedltis case the following plan is Other things being equal, select the hens that heve large,' fairly soft well-devel- oped, bright -red combs, Choose birds that are &sae end .broad in the abdom- inal regloti; bird e that have eat, enable, well -spread pelvic bones, long legs; and so far as can be determined, select those that moltee late. If you liaise been following these points all through the year and culled the hens for productiveness 'last fall, it may not be neeesaary to repeat the work. By selling the early rnelters and yellow -leg- ged birder last fell, most of the slacker hens will have been eliminated, Be sure to do this, next year if it was overlooked the past season. , •• Lloyd George a good Singer.

HEALTH VP.VAI. IN CHOOOING STOCK. (By Charier( L. Opperman, former State r oultryman et Ma/eland.) The very first rule that every poultry keeper must learn la that health is the vital issue in the peleetien of breeding stock. It does not matter how geed a bird may be in regard to plurnege, shape, glee, produotivenea and so on, if It can- not mhow e clean bill of health it should be given o place in the breeding pen, Fortunately, the contrast between a healthy, vigorous individual and a Rieke, anemic bird is so striking that evea the inexperienced pereon will have little trou- ble in elimieeting the undextrable :meet - menu. As may be observed, the strong, healthy, vigoroua bird lute a clear bright eye; it has well-developed, bright -red head Points; it is well -set up, on sturdy legs; active and busy from marling until dark; eas clean, glossy plumage; a nie- dium-short, well-developed head; and ie in geed flesh in all sections of the body. The anemic individual on the other hand, is easily distinguished by Its dull, iifless eye; pale, shrunken comb 8.nd wattles: thin, spindly legs, which are often cold to the touch; dirty, scraggly plumage; long crow -like head and sharp breast- bone. et. CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH. , The difference between health and 'dig- eaae is not always so sharply gontrast- ed, and for this reason the poultryman should be sufficiently familiar with his birds te know whether or not any of them are apparently in good health at the time the breeding pens are mated, and the majority too late tor the beat results, The fall start has long eeen overlooked. It has not the attractive features of the spring start. It is more expenelve, For .with the fall start day-old chloks, at $20 or $25 per hundred, are not purchased ex- cept on rare occasions, or is the demand for eggs for hatching large. The fall start means the purchase of ready -to -lay pullets or breeding stock of yearling hens, or even older is or good value. This fin- ished product will cost muclt more than 100 chicks or a -few settings of eggs. Pul- lets worth while in any breed will cost from St to 00 and upward; males to prop- erly mate to these fowls will cost $5 up.

Cheaper stock can be had now and then, but these prices will govern well-bred chickens that will give results. Poultry in the past has been too cheap. To meet this demand much haphazard stock was sold, especially before the war. To -day the well-informed poultry -keeper knows it is folly to attempt to make the ledger bal- ance unless he has quality stock, and the successful poultry -keeper of to -day and the future will be the one who has .only the best on the farm 'or in the yards. The day is passing for the scrub hen or haphazard -bred fowl, though it may look something like the breed it is named af- ter.

India, Africa, England and America, the latter being the most highly prized in this country, and bringing quite stiff prices in many Lcases. The wars is English; several famous potteries making a specialty of land- scapes, among the best known being the Ridgway and , the Burstein pot- teries of Etubbs. and Endch Wood. At first the color of the landscape pottery was a beautiful dark rich blue, but about 1830 pink, brown, rose, green, lilac, light blue and mul- berry were introduced, but the clerk blue is still the most desirable. PEACH RECIPES Peaches are now in season. There aro hundreds of ways of giving Pig- ancy to other dishes by peach admix- ture. Rice • goes especially well with Peaches, also ice cream, and an excel- lent combination le af a ripe canta- leupe melon, with. peaches so cut up and sugared, put into the centre when emptied of seeds; these eaten together with ice cream, if liked, is an unusual- ly nice dessert. Peach sponge is made with rice cooked until -soft with milk and ougar and a pinch of salt. Squeeze gradually the juice of a. lem- on, beat some whites of eggs stiff and fold in; pour into a ring mould, stand in hot water, cover and bake in mod- erate oven for half an hour. When cool turn out, put sliced peaches round, and fill the centre with cup -up Sieaches, and top with "whipped cream. PEACH MELBA. Peach Melba is a great favorite. Pare, stone and cook the peaches in syrup, When cool put half a peach on a small, round cake, of which the centre is cut out. A large spoonful of ice cream is put on the peach and ornamented with a candied cherry. This Is made with canned peaches, too. A mould made of scalded cream stiffened with gelatine, and peaches cut small, whipped in, and the mould lined with sponge' fingers, with the centre filled in with the fruit and cream is most refreshing if left on the Ice for a hot day. PEACH FRITTERS. Peach fritters are nice served with lemoti juice and sugar. Jam is al - meet too sweet unless the stones are cracked and the kernels put in. CANNED PEACHES, For canned peaches the following seems good: Six pounds peaches, peeled; three pounds sugar; 1-2 cap of water. Drop the fruit into cold water when peeled. .Place layers of peach- es and sugar in the kettle, pour in water and a few leaves if you have them. Place over a slow fire Instil tender. Remove leaves and seal well in jars. A unique xuethod is to wipe the peaches and put them in a srow oven until baked soft, and serve with cream and sugar. "RIVER EUPHRATES PLATE." A specimen of the Ridgway ,pottery Is the "River Euphrates plate," an old-time tea plate, much worn of a pleasing pale blue, which depicta what purports to be a scene on the River Euphrates, one of the "Four Great Rivers of Paradise." There is a castle with Minarets and palm trees growing on the banks of the river on which Nimrod is said to have built Babylon. The plate is of small intrinsic value, but is interesting as a dood specimen of the landscape table ware manufac- tured by -William Ridgway some time between 1830 and 1840. We are all familiar with the species of pottery called iron -stone china, the opaque porcelain, which when first manufactured was recognized as being so superior to the ordinary table ware in use that its populaeity was imme- diate and never waned. In 1805 the Spode -Copeland firm, founded in 1770, began the manufac- ture of iron -stone china, and in 1005 celebrated its centenary and revived What was probably the most popular pattern it had ever sent forth to an eagerly buying world. That is what Is familiarly known as Spode's "Tower Pattern," of a fine rich dark blue and meet attractive in color, design and finish. Side by side with the River Eu- phrates and the Spode Tower plates may be seen a rather ;small plate, cream white in color, decorated with a large central figure and a succes- sion of smaller ones around the leen. But, oh! what a wealth of delightful association is evoked by the mere raention of the name of this little piece of china ware, the "Sloverily Peter plate." Slovenly Peter, who conduered the childish. world some three score years ago, with his tinkeinpt hair and his lengthy finger mile, and his equally interesting and nester -to -bo -forgotten. companion% Johnny -Look -in -the -Air, Sammy Sweet Tooth, Prying Will and Pauline the rash &lid, who vsould play with matches and her conse- quently untimely end, to touchingly mourned by her faithful pussy cats.
