It does not stand dry weedier as well
nor is it as well suited for grazing.
It doos, however, yield very heavy
crops under favorable conditions. As
for all grasses, tlie preparation of tile
the land should lie very thorough -and
the surface wall harrowed. The lnaunr
ing should bo very heavy, unless tlie
land is naturally rich. Stable manure,
composted with cottonseed meal and
kaiuic, or acid alone, is good, or if the
laud is in Condition to respond to the
application, a highly ammoniated pot-

Sow the seed in September or October,

Question s f! —What is the difference
between gr illed .bone aud dissolved
bone? How suoubl each beappiiod and
to wita* crops?
Answkh A—Fin sly ground ' bone,
w icti pnre, contains about 22 per cent
of phosphoric acid and 4 12 por cent of
of ammonia. It is worth per ton more
than tho dissolved bouj, because the
sulphuric acid and water used to dis
solve the bone also dilute it. Either
is a fine fertilizer tor all fall sown grains
and slow growing crops, because the
phosphoric arid, at first not available,
becomfs gradually •olublu mid .is then
takun up by the developing plains. For
the same'reason it is excellent for grass,
grapevines or any perennial plains,
winch all continue for an indefinite
period to draw nourishment from the
soil. If npplied to other crops, tome
“IjiTr 1 * a ' luulli bu supplied, par

’“Frbiii the .tfiiitdd States
■fation rocorll No. 7, Ih'J), we find that:
"The results indicated that iu soils
not entirely devoid, of phosphoric acid
and not of extremely abnormal quali
ties, both steamed and nustenmed bone
of proper fineness prodnojd vory favor
able results, even when applied iu tho
spring, provided tho soil was not-defi
cient iu moisture. In soils dofloieiit iu
water very different results were ob*
taiued with all kinds of bone meal, bat
it appeared that the rosnlts wore more
unsatisfactory the coarser the bone.”
It cuu be further said of ground bone
that it benefits all crops; can be applied
at all seasons of the year; will not in
jure any tree or plant; is lasciug in its
effects and is the cheapest form of fer

much of tie fertility of onr land*
which might otherwise have boon pre

terraces and ditches is that the first
gather the washings from higher points
and hold them, with thoir accumula
