al elements, ammonia, potash or phosphoric
tid was the most profitable to use on his
oil. It may be that a part of his field needs
io ammonia, other parts need no potash,
rbile others need no phosphoric acid.
Vbile these were not needed it might be
bund that the other elements were needed.
On a small farm even there may be a
-rest diversity in the character of the soil,
'nd especially where it is located on a water
course, and parts of which are subjected to
overflows at greater or less intervals. There
sno way of determining this question of
manure satisfactorily to oneself but by
making a soil test on his own land. These
tests made by one’s nearest neighbor may
be suggestive of tbe needs of your land, but
are not conclusive from the fact that your
land may vary considei ab'y from his,
though being in the very same section.
j; v e y farmer is aware of the great varia
tion in soil in a very small field often**
times.
It is certainly a very haphazard system
of fertilizing that applies the same kind of
fertilizer to the black bottom lands that is
applied to the gray uplands; the same to the
clay loams that is applied to the sandy
loams.
Whether it be cotton seed meal or kainit or
phosphate that a farmer invests in he gen
erally applies it indifferently to all his fields
alike. Of course, if one is the proper and
most profitable material to apply, the others
certainly are not, for entirely different ele
ments are aff ord“d by each. The cotton seed
meal is valuable chiefly, if not entirely, for
the ammonia it contains; the kainit entirely
tor its potash, and the phosphate for its
phosphoric acid. Our long-cultivated up
lands are generally in need of all these ele
ments, and especially ammonia and phos
phoric acid.
Our bottom lands or other black lands
that have considerable vegetable matter in
them are rarely in need of ammonia, but do
oftentimes need both potash and phosphoric
acid, or at least one of them.
It is a part of the business of a practical,
Inteligint farmer to fl id out which one of
these elements is chiefly needed on his differ
ent fields, and the way to find this out is to
apply to a small area in these fields in differ
ent substai ces that contain one special ele
ment, ar.d compare the result one with the
other, and with another part that is not
fertilized at all. Taking that part of the
field that represents a fair average of the
whole in three rows let nothing be applied,
in the next three rows apply only cotton
seed meal (or dried blood or nitrate of soda);
in another three rows some form of phos
phate that has no ammonia or potash com
bined with it; in another three rows kainit
or other form of potash salt; then go on and
combine two elements in another set of
rows, and finally the throe elements.
The whole will make up a test that must
prove instructive and be of great iifterest
to him.
Ous jack each of the three substances will
enables farmer to make a very instructive
soil test, the result of which will have a
controlling influence probably in the selec
tion of his fertilizers another year.
It is a matter of common occurrence that
a farmer notes one particular field, or part
of it, that has fine, large stalks of cotton,
hut com; aratively little fruit on them, or it
may be fine stalks of corn with only inferior
ears on them; or it may be grain with straw
three to four feet high with very short, in
significant heads. A soil test of the matter
would show, most likely, that the soil con
tained a superabundance of ammonia, and
a defic ency of potash or phosphoric acid or
both. On such a field an application of
cotton seed meal, or any other ammoniacal
fertilizer, would be so much money thrown
away, or worse than thrown away, for It
would only increase the tendency to make
stalk or foliage at the expense of fruit. So
long as there is a luxuriant growth of
sta.k there will be no need for ammonia.
If the stalks are inclined to be small under
good seasons it is an indication that am
monia is needed in the soil.
con se in the absence of special soil
tests to show exactly what is needed, it is
eafer on our ordinary uplands to use a
standard, complete fertilizer that contains
all three elements, though some waste may
be involved in the act at the time. But a
truly practical farmer will not be willing to
go on always in this haphazard application
°f the same kind of fertilizer alike to all
bis different soils. He is bound to make a
few soil tests or “experiments" which, as an
intelligent, practical farmer, he cannot well
get along without. A farmer has got to
know his own soil well before he can hope
to realize the best profits from it, unless he
Is s ° f rtunato as to possess soil of such

Chickens in Dixie.
If the southern poultry raisers do not
make money out of their fowls it is their
*wn fault, says the Southern Fancier.
I'txieland is the most favored section of
*r ocmmon country for the chicken buti-
No other section can compare to it.
enty of grass, insects and warm air.
•very hing to egg-production,
id the growth of young chicks. All that
is necessary is energy and activity on the
part t-f the poultry keeper.aud a keen eye to
business.
To the fancier, the breeder of thorough
bred fowls, the south is a good field, rut to
the mat ket poulterer, it i t the place to taka
a stand, and to stay. We want to seethe
practical side of the poultry quesip n
worked up, and sus'eined in Dixie, as well
as the fancy part of the business.
We believe in utilizing hens, as well as
exhibiting them. It is tier butter record
that sells the Jersey, and we want it to be
her egg or meat record that carries the
worthy hen to the front. Volumes are writ
ten annually about th * fancy p dots, the
markings, etc., of the fancy fowls of tbe
land, but not enough about their practical
worth. This is a close calculating world,
and things that have some inherent value
are in demand. We must watoh closer, and
say more about tbe market value of our
stock. The larger breeds for their rapid
growth and heavy weight at maturity, and
the smaller varieties for their remarkable
laying propensities.
The beginning of the winter season is a
good time for us to taice a fresh hold of the
poultry problem. It is tbe virtual opening
of this poultry year, and affords all a cha .ce
to begin afresh.
There is no reason under the sun why
southern poultry raisers should not get out
hundreds of car loads of early chickens,
and deliver them in the eastern markets
long before the season will permit of com
petition from northern poultrym n.
This is a point worthy of consideration.
No one need make a specialty of chicken
raising in order to do this. Let the b; eeders
in any given locality raise to frying six > 50
or 100 chickens each in the early spring
time. Afe w such breeders would soon have
a carload, and there a e buyers on the look
out for all such early birds. Eac i locality
could make two or three shipments early in
tbe season, long before the cotton could be
gotten into tbe ground. In this way hun
dreds of dollars would be brougnt into the
oomrnu itv, that otherwise it would not re
ceive. Money can be made by the breeder
in Dixie, in the same wav, out of eggs.
There’s lots of mane v in eggs early in the
season, and tnat is the time of the year
when the northern dealer comes sou h for
them. Pullets or young hens well cared for
and fed right are laying well in this section
by February, even though they have no
extra housing.
Three or four litters of eggs can be gotten
from the southern hen before the northern
be i gets down to business. Such early laid
eggs bring top prices in the northern and
eastern markets, to say nothing of the ex
cellent demand for them in the local mar
ket. In this connection it is well to con
sider the valne of the thoroughbred hen—
the hen that will lay 150 eggs in the same
length of time that the common hen lays
oniy 75. Also the Brahma, Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte or La gshan chicken that
will attain three pounds in weight, while
the common scrub, same age and condition,
weighs only one and a half pounds, or less.
These are the poi its that we must uphold
and press upon the public in order to attain
that high place in poultry culture that
Dixie land is entitled to.
Celery.
There are so many ways of preparing
this delicious vegetable, says Alice Winston
in Home and farm, that every one who
has a garde-i should raise a crop of it every
year, wind and weather permitting. It is
an error that it is too troublesome for any
one but a professional gardener to succeed
in. All I say is, give it a fair trial one
year. Follow the directions of Henderson
or some other modern authority on the sub
ject. Use good seed, keep clear of weeds,
and you will find it is no more trouble
than tomatoes or cab age.
Besides being one of the best, it is one of
the most wholesome of the vegetable tribe,
being highly seco nmended to nerv us or
dy peptic people. There are several medi
cinal preparations of celery which are used
in the practice of physicians as tonics and
nervines.
The most common way of serving celery
is a large bunch of it on tbe dinuer-ta. le,
which is broken off stalk by stalk, dipped
in salt and eaten raw. Another way of
preparing it for dinner is to stew it. Break
the stalks off two large roots of celery,
wash and dram carefully; cut into lengths
of one inch, rejecting the discolored or
greenish parts; put on the stove in an
earthenware pipkin or a porcelain lined
saucepan, and pour to it a cup and a half of
sweet milk; let it cook slowly for thirty
minutes, when it should be done. Take a
tablespoon of butter, roll it in flour, cut
into bits and stir into the stewed celery,
which is n >w ready to be dished and eaten.
There is a dainty flavor in thi* preparation
which must recommend it to redued pal
ates.
Celery pickle is remarkably nice. Pick
off the root as many stalks as you wi h to
use, wash carefully and cut into one inch
lengths. Put on the stove in a porcelain
kettle with water enough to cover .them.
For every gallon of this water you must
allow three cups of salt to dissolve. When
tbe kettle has been on the stove lo g
enough for the calery to look clear take it
off and drain off all brine. It must be al
lowed to stand about three hours, so the
celery will be almost dry. For every gallon
of celery u e three pints of clear strong
vinegar, an ounce of white must ird seed, a
half ounce of tumeric, a cup of white
sugar and a tablespoon of salt. Boil the
vinegar and spice together and pour it hot
over the celery. Fasten the jar up closely.
This pickle wifi be good to eat in a wees.
Celery makes a good salad. Pick off from
the root, wash and drain, and then cut up
small. You can pick over defective b inches
which are not perfect enough to appear o i
the table as a whole and can get out
enough small pieces to make a good bowl
of salad. Fur a half gallon of chopped
celery boil a teacup of vinegar with a tea
spoon of sugar, a teaspoon of salt, a tea
spoon of mustard and a teaspoon of butter
in it. Beat up an egg, and as the vinegar
boils, stir it in. The i pour over the celery
and see that this dressing goes throug i and
t rough. Some people prefer a mayonnaise
sauce to this boiled vinegar and butter. You
can, of course, use either you like best, and
can make the best.
Soiling Ground.
The following is a summary of the full
report of experiments conducted at the
W isconsin station:
When an agricultural operation has been
found to give good, or even poor, results, it
is not enough to know the simple fact.
Why the results are good or bad is also of
great importance, and especially is tnis true
of methods of tillage where differences of
soil, of climate, of season and of crop con
spire to make empirical methods uncertain
and likely to terminate in partial or com
plete failure. T.e study of the effects of
rolling land in the spring has been under
taken with a view to replacing conjectural
statements by positive knowledge.
The observations here recorded are all of
them made under the conditions of practical
field culture and have not been confined to
the experiment farm. Through the hearty
co-optration of six of our short course
students in agriculture, parallel series of
observations have been made on farms in
as many localities situated in- Columbia,
Waukesha, Brown, Washington, Jefferson
and Kewaunee counties. We give here a
brief summary of the results obtained, the
details of which may be found under ap
propriate beads which follows:
1. Rolling land makes ihe tempera ure of
the soil at 1.5 inches below the surface from
1° to 9' F. warmer than similar unrolled
ground in the same locality, and at three
inches from 1" to 6' warmer.
2. Rolling land, by firming the soil, in
creases its power of drawing water to the
surface from below, and this influence has
been observed to extend to a depth of three
to four feet.

rapid from rolled than from unrolled

4. In cate* of broadcast seeding germina

percent; for barler, 10.3, and for closer,

These differences are greatest wpeo dry
weather and least when copious rain follows

5. In the experiment on oats, reported in
full, the yields per acre stood 01.12 bushels
on the rolled ground and 5S 89 bushels on
the unrolled ground.

on the rolled than on the uurolle i ground.

and those from the unro.led ground 11.31

yield and q lalitv of thecas stand as iso

repealed before general conclusions can he
safely drawn.
Bean Bust and Other Fungous Dis
eases.
Gardeners are beset upon all sides by de
structive agencies, says W. EL Yeoman in
Popular Gardening. With the climatic
coudith ns, noxious insects and fungus dis
eases, theirs is a Ufe of watchfulness and
aggressive warfare. It seems there is almost
no crop that the farmer attempts to produce
but that is liable to attack from some
source, and the number of destructive dis
eases and insects is rapidly increasi ig, or
else the sharp eye of scie itifle Investigators
is exposing those that have al eady existed.
In every farmer’s family the garden is
looked upon as an important i elu in fur
nisning during its seas >n sup: lies for the
table, and sucu it is unless its products are
blasted and des-royed by foes. Soma varie
ties of vegetable growth have been fairly
exempted from destructive ttacks uo to a
comparatively recent period. This is the
case with tbe pole beans, that have of late
years been cultivated to a co isider&ble ex
tent a-i market crops; but they seem to have
now come under ths curse. First came the
bean weevil that injured ea-ly planted
beans; but still more destructive seems to
be a fungus that attacks the foilage, soon
destroying it, and seeming to sap e whole
life from the plant. It first maki-s its ap
pearance in small pots upon the leaves,
which rapjdly increase until the leaf be
comes dead. This is 1 able to extend to the
pods, but even if it does not, it so affects
tue plant that tbe pods will shrivel and dry
up, leaving the bean at tbe |>oiut of devel
opment, attained at the time of the attack.
The leaves have a dark brown and rusty
appearanoe, and when the disease gets a hold
of them they! ok somewhat as though they
had beau scorched by be it.
It remains for scientific investigation to
discover safe preventives of the disease.
If their spores retain their vitality after
the fall of the leaves, and can reproduce
thems“lves after winter, it would seem that
unless something is done by way of pre
ventive measures, but little time will elapse
before it will almost be an impossibility to
grow this much-valued product of the gar
den.
The Turnip-Rooted Celery.
Celeriac, as the turnip-rotted celery is
usually called, is quite popular among old
country people, especially Germans, says
Popular Gardening , but not generally
grown and appreciated in American home
gardens. This may be due to its somewhat
peculiar flavor, to which one has to become
accustomed before one can get very fond of
it. We consider tbe bulb when boiled most
excellent for mixing wiih salads, or for
flavoring soups; and the tops may also be
used as oup celery.
lis cultivation is simply enough. Plants
are star ed in exactly the same way as com
mon celery, either in cold frames or in ope
ground, and planted out as a second crop, in
rows about eighteen inches apart, with ten
or twelve inches space between the plants.
The ground should be rich, moist aud mel
low, and well-prepared. If the preceding
early crop was heavily manured, little, if
any additional fertiliz r will be required.
After-cultivation is much the same as
pra ticed by good gardeners for other varie
ties of celery, and consists chiefly of fre
quent aud tuorougb hoei ig to Keep the
ground loose and active. Earthing up is not
required. The crop can be gathered i;i late
fall, topped like beets or carrots and other
wise treated and stored like these root
crops.
Nitrate of Boda on Strawberries.
In answer to inquiry as to the use of
nitrate of soda on strawberries, 1 would say,
says W. F. Massay. that in spiing of 1888 I
top dressed an old bed in its fifth year of
bearing with 300 pounds per acre. I had
intended to plow it up the previous sum
mer, but other matters prevented, and the
bed was in an exhausted condition and
rather foul with white clover and sorrel.
The effect was amazing, for this bod of an
acre and a quarter, from which I expected
hardly anything, gave me 7,000 quarts of
berries. Variety, Crescent with lertilizing
rows of Wilson, sharpless and others. The
crop was nearly as large as iho best the plat
had made. This was on moist bottom land,
naturally fertile.
The Scrap Book.
E?gs hatch much better if the nests are
made by placing a piece of sod or a shovel
ful of ss and or ashes in the box, and then on
this a little straw. In this way a convenient
h llow may be obtained, which prevents the
eggs from rolling about, and when the hen
is- If tbe est a more steady temperature
will be kept up than when the nest is made
only of straw.
If two or three quarts of dry, clean oats
are kept in o mvenient place and poured
into wet boots after being taken off they
will absorb tbe moisture from the boots,
and in so doing cause tbe boots to retain
their form and prevent shrinking, so that
they may be easily put on the following
day. The oats on being emptied out sh uld
be dried, and will serve the purpose for a
long time.
If you want to keep horses, cattle and
sheep healthy give them salt regularly.
There is n better vermifuge than salt. Much
of the so-o tiled hog cholera is due to intes
tinal worms. Plenty of salt prevents the
accumulation of the e worms. All animals
desire salt, showing that it is a used of their
nature and undoubtedly for wise pur
poses.
Varnish for doth sash for cold frames on
pits is made in tbe following manner: One
quart of linsaed oil, one ounce of pulverired
sugar of lead, four ounces of pulverized
ri am. These ingredients dissolved ad
th iroughly mixed li an iron vessel. While
it is hot apply one coat to ths upper surface
of the cloth, which will render tiis cloth air
tight and early transparent, and is better
for some plants than gla-s. After the first
coat dries, a second application can be
given, but one is usually sufficient.
Put a tablespoonful of sulphur in ths nest
as soon as the hens or turkeys are set. Tbe
heat of the fowls causes the fumes of the
sulphur to pe etrate every part of their
bod es, aud every louse is killed, and as all
the nits are hatched within ten days when
tbe mother leavae the qest with her brood,
she is perfectly free fr<<m nit or lioe. Tina
is a great aid to oleanliuess in the poultry
house.

They Are Porn Fighters, and Rattle
snakes are Less Terrible.
From the Philadelphia ledjer.
Ask am of the farmers or hunters in this
part of M mroe county whether they are
afraid of rattles ages aud they will answer
promptly that they don’t mind them eery
much. Ask them if they fear blacks axes
and they will say yes without the slightest
hesitation.
This far of biacksnakes has c mp down
to must of them fr m their paren s w.th a
story that none of them is ever t4ie.l of tell
ing. They all declare that i is true, and it
is so well k.iown and it is told with so much
solemnity aid evide t fear by t;e natives
that it is hard to disbelieve it. The story
run> like this:
Many years ago a well-to-do farmer lived
witu his family near the barre i laud verg
ing on Pike county. His wife was city
bred and unused to many of the ha' dships
that are part of the farming woman’s life.
Sue was strong an 1 hardy, however, with
plenty of uerve ad grit enough to make
the best of thing*. One day, w bile her hus
baud was wording in a clearing a good dis
tance from the h use, she wbhl down to a
spring for a pail of water. As she stooped
over to fill the pail, a Maeksnake that had
been lyiug coiled near the spring jumped
at her.
She screamed and jumped bark, but the
snake bad buried bis iaugs in her dress, and
before she could recover herself sufficiently
to shake him off he had wound himself ab ut
her so tigntly as to prevent her fr uu walk
ing. Then he began slowly tocrawl unwind.
The poor woman struck at the snake with
her hands.
They were badly bitten, but she wai bo
overcome with fright that sue and and not mind
tbis, and kept on strlki g at him.
The serpent kept crawling up until his
coils were about her breast. She tried to
tear bint loose, but she was not strong
enough. She became nearly paralyzed with
terror. The snake finally coiled himself
around her neck aud choked her.
She started toward tbe house, but she
had only gone a short distance when sue
fell. In the evening she was found by her
husband lying dead, with the snake still
coiled about her neck.
This Story, with the well-known fact that
a blacksuake is ever ready aud willing to
fight anything that lives, makes the native
afraid of him, and the man who kills a
blacks ake is thought to have won a greater
battle than the slayer of a dozen rattle
snakes.
“You can’t frighten a blacksnake,” said
one old i unter, “and the m ire you try to
the more he ain’t frightened. A rattlesnake
is a coward, and will run if you give bin,
half a chance. If he doesn’t get the hanoe
he will raitle in fear, and then strike In
desperation.
“A rat.lesnake's bite is not nearly so dan
gerous as many people suppose. All that
you have to do to render the wound harm
less is to cut it as deep as the fangs went,
and then go to the nearest bro k and wash
it thoroughly. A common pouli ice will soon
heal the wound made by your knife.
"But if a big blacksuake tackles you, and
you give him a chance to get one coil about
Sour body, why, theu look out, for it is your

If You Can’t Go to Paris Go to Brus
sels and be content.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Paris is, of course, the queen of continen
tal cities. It is the Mecca, the paradise, tbe
Eden par excellence. Everybody hut a fool
wants to go to Paris. But everybody oan’t
get there. To those unfavored individuals
lei me say Brussels will do just is well.
Brussels is a “little Paris,” not
half so expensive and quite as en
joyable, on a small scale. If you have
the least imagination, you have only to
walk around Brussels and say to yours If,
"I am in Paris,” and -presto—you are in
Paris. You look at the same white bouses,
tbe same gilded dome, the same boulevards,
the same avenues of spreading tree*, the
same smooth, clean streets, the same superb
shops and cafes, all white and gold and
mirrored, and last, but not leasr, the same
stylish women, who are Parisian from the
crown of their jaunty Parisian hats down
to the points of their dainty high-heeled
Parisian boots.
Besides all these hints of Paris, you have
the same language. Everybody speaks the
French tongue, and the suine glum, self
imoortant, ponderous coachman, who sits
upon his box seat as a king sits upon bis
throne —calm, unruffled, unco sciou*—he
knows you for a foreigner before you realize
the fact yourself, and you might stand and
talk vour best b arding school French to
him until doomsday, and he would sit there
and glare at you, and swear ho didn’t un
derstand his own t mgue until be was black
in the face. if such a red face could turn
black out of the hangman’s noose.
MEDICAL..
Weak Lungs
May be made to do good service through a
long life by a Judicious use of Ayer’s Cherry
Pectoral. The signs of weakness are “short
ness of breath,” pains In the chest and hack,*
a persistent cough, feverishness, and raising
of blood. All or either of these symptoms
may indicate weak lungs, aud should havs
immediate attention.
“ I have been a life-long sufferer from
weak lungs and, till I used Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral, was sciycely ever free from a
cough. This medicine always relieves my
cough and strengthens my lungs, as no other
medicine ever did. I have induced many of
my acquaintances jo use the Pectoral in
throat and lung troubles. It has always
proved beneficial, particularly so In the case
of my son-in-law, Mr. Z. A. Snow, of this
place, who was cured by it of a severe
cough.”—Mrs. L. I. Cloud, P.entou, Ark.
“I have bad lung trouble for aboutone year
and have triad many different remedies, but
nothing does me so much good as Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral. I heartily recommend this
medicine.”—Cynthia Horr, Harmony, Me.

days your thoughts and your

Buy it—the winter season isn’t
