Koyat, Baking Powder Co., IOC Wall St. New York. 19 ly. 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 ty, O. 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.— Augusta Evening News. 2 hud been troubled all winter with cold and pain In the chest ami got no relief from remedies recommended by Druggists and Physicians. At the same time I was ad vertising Dr. Bosanko's Cough and Lung By cup.

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.
