Coal ASHES We have always I'M
derstno that coal ashes contain no fer
tllIzin@ qualities, and were rather inju-
nous to vegetation; but one Of the most
thrifty looking potatoe patches we have
seen this season was in the Garden of Mr.
+. Mccklns in Whatcly. 1t was in Il
piece OF light sandy land and manurcd
only with coal ashes spread on generally.
A few weeks ago when we saw them ihc
tops looked very thrifty, and if the re-
suit proves as appearances then indicat-
ed we think coal ashes will be worth
saving. We hope to notice the result
at the time of digging and report. We
also hear coal ashes recommended to

apply the ashes generally when the vines
are wet and the bugs will leave and stay
