Recent A'Csearolies, how ever, show that it has tha power to gather from tho air all tliu supplies of nitrogen which it needs. Nitrogen, it must bo remembered, composes four* fifths of tho atmosphere, uresanting an Inexhaustible supply. It bus been found that clover obtains its nitrogen from the air by means of tlio bacteria that have their base of operations in tho lit tle knots or nodulous waste or tubercles on tho clover roots. It lias also been shown tln^t clover can bo grown in pure land, l'wtAiliicd with potash aud phos phoric acid, but without tlio least truce of nitrogen, provided it lias been wa tered with clear water which has been filtered through Boils in which clover plants lntvo been grown, containing tho bacteria which assist in gathering tho nitrogen from tlio air. This indi cate that sandy lnnd can be inudo to produce good crops of clover without the application of any nitrogenous ma nures', provided a sufficient supply of phosphoric acid and potash arc present. MINERAL ELEMENTS NEEDED. Clover is quite exhaustive to the soil in respect to phosphoric acid and pot ash. It removes quite li^rgo quantities of those elements, and if the supply runs short the clover crop will fail. This is tho reason that some soils aftor a few crops of clover fail to produce good crops of clovor, and tho land is said to ho "clover rich.” What is needed is a supply of tho mineral cle ment mid then good crops of clover cun be again produced. The cost ot supply ing th" necc r iary quantities of phospho ric ncid and potnsD is not great, consid ering the value of the crop produced. If tlio farmer, by supplying tlio clover plant with what potash and phosphor!" acid it needs, call secure tho gathering from the air all the supplies of nitrogen which he needs, ho lias gained an im portant point ill tho solution of tho fer tilizer question. The cost of nitrogen is about sixteen cents par pound, while the cost of notasli is about four cents and that of phosphoric acid about seven cents per pound. If lie can save buyin the most costly element of plant fom and have abundant supplies ■ f it gatli ored from tho air for him by the clover plant, lie lias made n long stride ahead, andean well afford to purchase freely of tlio less costly mineral elements. Now, the farmers want, to act generally upon this principle—raise plenty of clo ver for the sake of tho nitrogen, feed to farm stock, ravo tho fertiliz t.i and an ply to the soil and go on enriching their farms and increasing productiveness. Lil’cct of Nitruifcnous Manure. An intcroU'ng experiment is reported in a recoil bulletin from tlio Ston's’ station in C nnectieut. It was under taken to sho'" tho effect of nitrogen on grass, both us to yield and quality. Potash and phosphoric acid alone in creased the yield of clover, but did not of tho grasses. Nitrate of soda on tli grasses increased tlio yield in eve case—tho most profit being obtaim. from u dose of ti'.’U pounds per acre. This corroborates tho former report that clover is a nitrogen collector, while grasses like timothy arc nitrogen con sumers. It also explains the philoso phy of using liquid manures and otlie: substances containing soluble nitrogen on grass in the spring. It was also found that tlio application of nitrogen ous fertilize increased the proportion of protein in he grasses—making hi of higher f ding value. Fertiliz farmers usin large quantities of solu ble nitrogen often claim 1 lint the hay they grow is very superior in quality and greatly preferred l>y stock to that grown ou noor^r.soil...TUlfi.exDeriwout >:utniotf MoIoiim. Single plants in the row do hotter than in tho hills; insects do not got in their work ns they do in the hill. Af ter all tho danger from this source is about past, 1 thin out so that eacli plant is about three foot from its neighbor This gives eacli all independent posi tion. Then each plant gets an equal share of the rain on tho lot. Should the root grubs begin to work on the roots, which can bo discovered by the plant just wilting, dissolve nitrate of potash, one ounce, in a pint of water, and put a tablespoonfnl into a pail of water and apply u pint to each lull in tho evening. Keep this up for several days or until tho first solution is all used. I use seeds of several different kinds, ns I lant for family use, and save tho seeds of tko best ouch year, and, when I plant next year, I also buy some new seeds of somo of tho green nutmeg varieties, and never fail to have lots of melons.

The elements of fertility absolutely necessary in a complete, commercial fer tilizer uro nitrogen, potash and phos phoric acid. Many other substances are found in all manures, both natural and manufactured, which need not be named. Experience has shown that different crops generally succeed best by the list of varied combinations of the principal fertilizing elements. Hence the leading manufacturers furnish the public with manures for different crops under differ ent brands, ns potato manure, corn ma nure, tobacco manure, etc., which the* guarantee to contain ammonia, pho* photic acid and potash in the percent ages stated. Now that many of the state experi ment stations are analyzing them exten sively and manufacturers have their rep utations at stako in maintaining the quality of their goods, one runs littlo or no risk in buying a special fertilizer of which the composition is guaranteed in any of the leading makes. A quite com mon and gord formula for potato manure is ammonia, 4.50 to 5 per cent; phos phoric acid, 8 to 10 per cent; actual pot ash, 0 to 8 per cent, Tlio potato brand will bo equally useful on most garden vegetables, although manufacturers of fer many specialties, such as cabbage manure, onion manure, fruit und vine manure, manures for different soils, also complete manures for general use.

Thera is probably as much plaster used tow 23 e^cr, but tha common U9e of it and familiarity with it makes it less talked about. Thero nro Roveral popular errors in regard to land plaster that ought to bo corrected, saya Rural Now Yorker, authority for tho following: First, thero is bo vegetable or org-unio matter in it. It is solely mineral and contains 82J par cent of limo, 40} of sul phuric ncid and 21 of water loosely com bined uu water of crystallization. it is often said that plaster takes water from tho air and thus supplies tho crops in a dry time. This is not tho case. It is not absorbent of water any more than Blind is, and tho small quantity used on an acre, generally loss than 100 pounds, would bo quite opposed to tho^ossibili- ty that it could bo of any service, even if it absorbed soverul times its weight of water. When plaster is heated or cal- cinod, tho water contained in it is driven off, and it is then nblo to combine with this water again as plaster for tho ma son’s use, and innlto a Boft stony sub stance. Hut it costs something to burn the plaster, and this is never done for its uso for tho laud, or if it is it is a mis take and n witsto of labor. Third, it has boon said that plaster should bo applied to tho crops when tho leaves tiro wet with dow ov rain, be- cuuso then it will bo dissolved and tnkon ill by tlio leaves, and thus do great good to tlio plan's. Now, it is perfectly cer tain thut plants do not take tiny solid matter or even water or vapor of water, in tho leaves; only air is thus taken 'n by them, anil tho truth is that tho plas ter is dissolved in tho water of tho soil, of which 4(10 parts dissolve one of gyp sum, nnd is then taken in by tho route, and thus its effect is often perceived in tlio darker green color of tho leaves, 24 hours after tlio application of it. Another reason why plaster may not bo so much used now is that superphos phate of limo lias a le^;o proportion i f sulphate of lime in it, and this is pre cisely the sumo us tlio plaster, which is natural sulphate of lime. South Caro lina rock ia a phosplui'.c of limo mixed with carhonato in the form of shells and Is only slow / soluble in the soil. But it is more soluble when it is finely ground, in which state it is called “floats,” and is then cheapen,than when it is dissolved by ncid as snpi rphosphato, und it' u largi quantity—as much as a ton to the acre— is used it has been found useful and a permanent benefit to tho lund. Being insoluble, it is not of any apparent ben efit when used in small quantities. Cultivation Artur Italn.. Hero is somo timely advice from tho Wisconsin agricultural experiment sta tion’s animal report: Unless tho grou..d is already too wet, the stirring of the surface noil, whenever practicable, should folk w just ns soon after a con siderable rainfall as tho tools will work well. Tlio ( ultivation should, as a rule, bo shallow, leaving utliin stratum of tl e surface soil finely pulverized nnd com pletely cut off from tho ground belo' \ If this is not done, tho extremely ra 1 evaporation which takes place from i .- disturbed wet soil on hot, clear days may oven in a few hours not only dissi pate that which has just fallen, but also fo'TIo dr awn toward tlio surface from lower levels, nnd thus lc.uvo tlio grounds actually drier, ns a whole, than before tho rain, oven though it may look more moist at the surface. When a succession of showers follow one another at just tho right intervals and are of tho right amounts to strength en tho capillary flow into tlio upper stratum from below each time, without any porcolation taking place, it is evi dent that such soils, loft to themselves under these conditions, may lose not only tho water which falls directly upon them, but a considerable portion of that stored below, down at least to five feet. On the other hand, if each shower it promptly followed by cultivation, the; - will bo at first a movement of water up' ward, uml finally (ho same rains, which under other conditions would leuvo the lower strata drier than before they fell may contribute u considerable amount by percolation to the deeper layers. Hnmlllng Fowls. A Wisconsin farmer called attention nt a farmers’ club to the important point of handling fowls, llo illustrated his meaning as follows: If you catch a bird, leaving its wings free, a desperate struggle will result, likely to injure the plumage, and in the case of a setting hen to distract lieri from her vocation. My piun is us fol lows: Approach tho bird from behind placo both hands firmly and quickly right over tho wing points, then slip the' right hand down and secure tho legs firmly. All fluttering will thus ho avoid ed, anil the bird, held by the legs, with the left hand under tlio breast, will not offer resistance. Night is tho time to catch nnd handle birds, for then ono can slip up from behind and proceed as has been described without nunoyanco to the bird or loss of time and worry to the owner. Thing. That Are Told. Soda moistened with water and ap plied directly to tlio boo sting will allay tho pain nlmost immediately and coun teract tlio poison. If stung in the field, take some earth, moisten it so it will ad here to tlio surface and lay it on, and the effect will lie liko magic. A bee sting should be treated as soon as possible or the remedies will prove ineffectual. In a bulletin issued from, the Now York experiment station it is recom mended that tlio treatment with bor- doaux mixture on celery plants bo con tinued from transplanting time to blanch ing time if there is reason to anticipate attacks of leaf spot. Statistics prove farmers to average longer lifo than most other workers, u fact due to the oven lives they lead and steady employment the year round.
