taking care to select good seed, study the
average, and know by experience which is

PROJECTING AGAINST FROST.

NJ. G. Wizard proposes a method for pro-
tecting vines against frost in spring, which
embodies the idea of smoke as a blanket to
secure the earth against the influences of
extreme cold. The plan, which is said to
have proved successful, and to be Of easy
application, is described as follows: 1t con-
sists in carefully mixing caster with saw
dust and old straw, and piling up this mix
ture into large heaps in the vineyards. The
mixture reu1ains easily in1iamaEie in spite
of rain or weather, for more than q fortnight.
When required for use, smaller heaps are
made OF the large ones, or about two feet
in diameter, and are distributed in and about
the vineyard. If there is q little wind, tEasa
heaps burn freely for about three snll9asasasF
hours, and produce very denae Guaos'4sRPs
The artificial cloud which thssa essTessAossses
the vines considerably decreasetFf83ttlla racia-
ton from the ground, and witAi1 covnter',
acts frost, which is greatest toward the
morning Of calm spring nights, and which
does SO much harm to the plants.
This method OF protecting vines and trees
from frost by smoke. has been triee success
fully at @. c., by using scraps Of tom leather
procured ct orr trap factory, and put il
heaps near vines and igrited when danger
| threatened. from frost. These can be used
to advantage by growers of fruit, especially
peaches and plnms. During cold winter
there are generally a few days Of extreme
cold weather which frequently destroys the
entire crop of fruit by the killing of buds.
If growers would be watchful and yigilant
by procuring quantity of feathers, which
cost but little and burn long time and pro-
auce dense smoke, they would. with little
trouble, by burning them when the proper
time came. save their crop OF fruit, and dur
inc harvest time would realize much more
than those who took no precautioa III the
time of need. Farmers Advocate, CasaGG.

VALUE OF FLOWING IN FALL-INFLUENCE
OF FREEZING

AAU&A OE IAV w 4N u LIN EALL-.1N AU
OF FREEZING.
Much benefit may commonly be realized
from careful preparation of land for plant
ing and sowing. The physical preparation
of the soil for the reception of seed is mat
ter of much Importance, for whenever the
land is not mellow, considerable portion of
the seed is likely to fail of termination, and
thereby to be lost
There are other benefits which are natu-
rally conferred upon ground by plowing at
other times than when it is required for the
reception of the seed. But the various kinds
of soils are quite unlike in that which relates
to the benefits they are likely to derive from
fall and winter plowing. A soil that abonnds
in sand is not capable of receiving anything
like the same measure of benefit from plow-
ing in fall or winter as one that contains a
large proportion of clay.
Sand has but feeble, if any, capacity that
is appreciable, for absorbing any of the fer
tilizing gasses (of which ammonia is the
most irportant), while clay, and especially
when dry, has the most remarkable capac-
ity for absorbing and retaining this fertilizer,
of any of the materials that naturally be-
long to soils
Clay, that belongs to compact soil, or
when it is filled with water, has no inpor-
tant value for this purpose. But whenever
it is thrown into ridges, so that large por-
| ton of its particles are exposed to the at
| mosphere, and to the influence Of Frost it is
rendered peculiarly valuable, and on account
of the facility which is furnished for the ab-
sorption OF gasses from the atmosphere.
Some of the clay soils, or the loans that
contain a large proportion of clay, sometimes
remains very compact, or in large Jumps,
even after they have been often plowed
| This is often on account Of the presence OF a
small quantity of some mineral substance
| This condition may sometimes be readily
changed, or by natural processes. which are
secured by mere exposure OF the soil to the
atmosphere. The most common of these
substances is the prot-oxide OF iron, Whlcf
is changed to a peroxide.
There are no available agencies that are
as effective for the reduction of compac
soil to mellow condition as the frosts OF {
| cold winter and the free success of air Whicl
they ultimately secure. Whenever sucs
land is thrown into ridges by deep ploWlnt
in autumn or early winter, frost is likely II
act as a disintegrator of such soil. In atdl
ton to this benefit, when the warm season
arrives it is in the most favorable condition
for the absorption of the fertilizing gasse
from the atmosphere, in addition to its othe
, influences.
The question that relates to the eN1eh
which nitrogen OF the atmosphere Is caps
BILE of comforting benefit to soils or to gro"
, ing plants seems to remain unanswered
