Agricultural uepartmEnt
Sulphate of potash is a special ma
nure for beans, peas, &o., and this
form of potash is better for these
crops than the muriate of potash
or kainit. . We say to our agricultu
ral friends that while these are all
good they (have in good unleacbed
wood ashes as good a manure for
beans and peas as any of the above.
It will be well to remember this and
keep for use all such ashes. They
are rich in potash. Potash is a spe
cific fertilizer for asparagus, the wood
ashes referred to is also just as good
for this very popular vegetable...
our lack of sheep deprives our
farmers; of onu of the best fertilizers
they could use. ’Of all the fertilizers
sheep manure is one of the best for
various purposes especially for corn
and potatoes. It lias been said by
some who have thoroughly tested it
that it contains 90 to 95 per pent of the
plant food contained in the rations
consumed by the sheep. It is espec
ially rich in nitrogen in an available
form and therefore ranks high as a
fertilizer. The loss of it makes the
people pay very high for the dogs to
which they are so much attached.
A writer in Farm and Home says
No stable-manure should be used for
peas. Rich warm soil, medium light
(especially for the early crop) is de
sirable. l)se a good high-grade super
phosphate, say 1200 lbs per acre. Sow
it completely over the drill and mix
with the soil as best you can. Peas,
like all leguminous crops, require
much phosphoric acid. They will be
equally early and will produce a much
larger crop, and will bear longer than
on stable manure,.which contains ni
trogen in excess anil does not furnish
phosphoric acid and potash enough
for this crop.
Now has Faith.
high farming the thing.
To bring about better times among
the farmers, we must enrich our land.
Not that I would advise you to spend
$40 or $50 to buy manure by tho ton
far from it; but 1 think it Would be
! a good plan if we would sow more clo
ver, or some other green crop to plow
I under. If we buy fertilizers, there is
| danger of the outlay being greater
1 than the income. Hut if we turn clo-
! ver lfnder, it will last for two years,
‘ and it will also give the land a rest if
we leave it for a season. What is the
use of cultivating two acres of ground
if by enriching the soil we can raise
the same amount on one acre? Let
us study out new plans for farming.
What if our neighbors will laugh at
us; better have them laugh than scold;
and you just mark it down tnnt the
one who laughs the most when you
fail, will be the first to follow in your
footsteps if you succeed. He 'who
hits on a new plan first will cook liis
goose before the rest will get the
feathers picked off; and don’t you for
get tl?at they will pick as fast'as they
can.—[Charles Young, Belton coun

How Mr. J. H. Alexander, of Au.
gust a, Raised Four Crops a Year.
Mr. J. It. Randall, in his Anniston
Hot Blast, says that Mr. J. H. Alex
ander, of Augusta, claims to have
successfully raised four crops on the
same land in one season. lie laid off
two acres of watermelon hills 10 by 12
feet apart. Then, between the hills
prepared for the melons he planted
on the 23d February rows of Adams'
extra early corn, compost in hill. June
10th the crop of green corn for mar
ket was exhausted. It began to be fit
for use the last of May.
The melon ground had been pre
pared with compost in hill. The
seed he planted in three lots—the first
one the last ‘week in April, the next
a week later and the third a week af
ter the second. On the two acres of
ground he raised 1,400 watermelons.
He was convenient to market for his
corn. The melons were grown for
seed purposes, not for sale.
At the first ploughing of the melon
vines he dropped between every two
or three seeds the Conch pea. When
tiie melon crop was all cleared out he
dropped into th^hills a coupleof Conch
peas. Two wagon loads of hay were
made. Some of the melons weighed
over fifty pounds. After the pea
vines were removed the laud was
seeded for a fourth time in Burt oats.
The crops were all first class. The
ground was a high, saridy loam, ly
ing very level. If any Northern farm
er can equal this, let him report.—

Cotton Seed Meal.
Owing to the value of this article
it is rather dear for a fertilizer if one
has to buy it.. But frequently it may
t>e obtained cheaply by reason of its
being damaged. It is a superior fer
tilizer especially if mixed with a little
dissolved hone and unleacbed wood
ashes. The good meal although
rather costly is much used as a ma
nure for crops, it is found however
riot to be quickly available and hence
it is either composted or harrowed
.into the soil about a month before
'planting and then it feeds the crop
nnely even without mixture with any
othar material.
The Prejudice Against Fertilizers.
Regarding the prejudice that a cer
tain class of farmers still manifest
against the use of fertilizers, I will on
ly sav that it is founded, like all other
prejudices, in ignorance. Farmers
who speHk from an expereince based
upon careful and intelligent expert
rnents for 10 or 12 years, and who are
the only ones whose opinions are
worth anything, invariably assert
that in chemical fertilizers lie greater
possibilities and more certain results,
•ombining a wider range of influences
and reducing the ratio of adverse
chances. I know from my own ex
perience that fertilizers increase the
productiveness of the soil, enable us
to properly cultivate more land and by
diversifying the conditions give us
better crops and save labor.— [W. F.
