SOIL ANALYSIS.
In view of tho many questions relative
to the value of soil analysis in addition
to what we have said
this snbjoct wo
quote the following from Q. E. Morrow,
of the Illinois experiment station:
"“An examination of a soil by a chem
ist will show with great exactness of
1 what it is composed and the relative pro
portions of tho elements. It may show
that there ia evidently a too email sup
ply of aome essential ingredient, or it
1 may show that soma substance or some
7 combination present which will bo in-
" furious to plants. In those ways such
an examination may givb most valvable
suggestions as to manuring tho soil or
other methods of improving its fertility.

Lynch Law in Th9 North.
The Cbronicc of Monday contained
reports ot tho lynching of three white
men iu Kama?, and a negro boy in
Ohio.* Neither of the cites involved
the outraging ot bclp'ers women, but
in both tho c i ue r as murder, and in
bath the gui ty parlies were in tbe
hands of tho law. There was no rea
lm to apprelical iheir,escape, cr (o
believe they w.iu’d not icctive juat
punishment i:i tie caurtf. They
were simply cnees ot human passion,
and mob vi de ice, where men took
the law in their own hand.*, and cs-
•nmed the right to murder cc-itsia of
their fdllow*ci:ize:is, Lecsure these
^fellow-citizens bal themselves previ
ously committed murder
The fact to which we would cn'l
attention is that neither <>f these out
rages was in the Sjuth. In the oce
Case it is de’ared tho mob was com
posed of “the best ciiizsrs of Winches,
ter, and adjacent points in Adsras
county, Ohio;” and in the Kanaas
lynching the acoount states that ‘The
mob wai one of the quietest and* most

was- cool and writ organised, and
made no effort at c m&alment, though
there were many on looker?”—Ap

We have endeavored a number* of
times to call tho attention of
ere to the great lore they suffer from not
taking proper care of their barnyard
manure. Your question brings this lore
pointed to mind. Experiments on a
largo scale demonstrated tha*. t
dinary conditions of piling and
during the course of the sum
nure loses of its fertilizing cm
about 50 per cent of its original raluei
A. comparative test of the value of
leached and unleached manure conduct
ed at tho Ohio experiment on corn and
wheat, and mixtures of clover and timo
thy, showed a very wide difference; and
indicated that tho margin of profit on
open yard manure is extremely small.
In experiments at tho New York station
it was demonstrated that cow
exposod to tho weather lost 65 per cent
of its weight. There ^ras a lore in per
centages of each fertilizing constituent,
except phosnhoric acid, amounting in
tho aggregate to 2.50 per cord.
A largo number of other experiment*
might be mentioned showing the great
Iocs incurred by im]
It has been well said Gut “the true
foundation of elf successful agriculture
is undoubtedly tho manure pile, and
when assisted by clover and commercial
fertilizers, roses can bo made to bloom
in the placo oi thorns; luy can be made
to grow instead of briars and thistles;
grain instead of woods, and wealth in
stead of poverty. 1
Let us resolve at tho beginning of tho
yoar moro to husband our resouroes, and
by tho nso of cowpcns, manure and a
proper appreciation of commercial fer
tilizers bring our lands<to a higher state
of cultivation.
RAW’ DONE AND STEAMED BONE#'
Wo lmvo previously been called upon
to givo tho differonco in tho value to tho
fanner of pure .raw bono and stcamod
bone.
Tho Southern Planter thus answers
similar question:
This inquiry from a subscriber is
very pertinent ono at this •season of the
year when farmers are •ordering their
fertilizers for the wheat crop which us
ually largely consist of bone or add
phosphate. If our subscribers will refer
to tho January, 1895, number of The
Planter they will there find an article
from Dr. DeCholmot, thi > chem
ist of tho department of agriculture,
fully explaining the diff* jrent of
bone meal fertilizers and. their compom-
ent ports, which will sc .pply a complete
answer to this inquiry. For the benefit
of those of our presei it n laden who may
not have tho January nu mber.we would
say that there is practically no difference
in the percentage of. phosphoric addin
raw and steamed 1 <one m sal.
Tho steamed l ones, however, nave
lost the larger pn/portion of their nitro
gen. This lore, however, is attended
with a gain in 'iho availability of the
phosphoric add, and as the phosphoric
add ia the principal object for which
bones arc applied, the stcamod ones are
mojo valuable for thif. purpose than the
raw ones. r fhe lore of the nmull percen
tage of nitrogen is more than counter-

the phosphoric add; at lout, ore think
thU to bo so when mod for a fall dress

After 15 years' study ot this question
oo a great nsietyof soils, Professor Hll-
llsrd (CaL R. 18S», p. IDS) concludes
that “hr no erne baa any natural virgin

kind of examination is the necessary
complement of the other.
The processes by which soils are
formed and plant food rendered availa
ble are constantly going on in the soil,
so that bothjhe chemical and physical
conditions of soils are constantly chang
ing, and frequent examinations are ne

properties of any soQ aft any given time.
In actual chemical analysis only the

to Hilgard)is examined, It being assumed
that this fine earth contains all tho plant
food readily or immediately available to
This fine earth is submitted to diges
tion with adds which separate it into
two parts—an Insoluble residue which
affords on approximate measure of the
sandiness of the coil, and a soluble por
tion, which is further examined.
THE GARDEN.
Tho secretary of the North Carolina
state horticultural sodety gives tho fol
lowing calendar for January work in
the garden:
'Cloanup the garden; pruno all woody
plants, burn all prunings and trash; re-
palr fencos and tools; 'provide poles and
brush for running plants; overhaul hot
bed and cold frame; send for the
seedmen’s catalogues, but beware of
"novelties;” procure the latest
bulletins of the state experiment station
relating to horticulture, noxious insects,
fungi and weeds; order your seeds and
test them; get yonr seeds directly from a
reliable seedsman, and not at the near
est grocezy or drug store; consider well
what particular varieties seem best suit
ed for your particular purpose and order
teso.”
In the southern portion of Georgia
work can progress much more rapidly
than irf hero indicated. For economy on
the farm if not for profit, there is noth
ing better than a good garden, supply
ing, as it does, an abundance of health
ful .food.

Q. T. W., Whitfield.
Alfalfa, or Lucerne, should be sown
in the Spring, It requires a deep, rich
soil, which should be naturally well
drained. If cut at the right time and
well cured, it will make good food fox
