Ashes-Ieached and Unleached

Without going into discussion of the COM
| position Of wood ashes. il is sufficient for u,
| to remember that they consist of elements ot
| the soil which were essential to the trees OF
| which they formed a part, and that all or9
common farm crops draw from the soil the
same elements in different proportions. When
we apply ashes to the soil we furnish the
plants the very elements of food which they
need, in an easily accessible form. Ashes
act promptly. and upon many soils their effects
are perceptble for a long series of years.
The more soluble parts of the ashes, especial
ly the potash. acts most promptly, while the
less soluble parts continue to yield more or
less nutriment as they are gradually dis
solved.
The application of unleached ashes in large
quantities upon light sandy or calcareous soils
is not economical, because the soluble and
most valuable parts are sure 10 be, in part.
washed through the soil by rains and
carried beyond the reach of the roots
ut the plants, whereas, if applied in
less quantities, the plant roots take what they
can, portion is retained by the SOIL and
very small proportion is lost. On clayey
soils, or on those which are rich in organic
matter, heavy applications of 100 bushels
per acre may be and are made.
The crops most benefited BY unleached
asnes, besloes grass anu ali frult crops, are
potatoes. root crops, and Indian corn, and to
these crops it may be applied in the hill or
drill, at planting, OF dropped by hand near
and upon the plants soon after they come up.
There is some danger of injury to the seed
unless the distribution is very even. hence
the surface application is usually preferred
Ashes work down into the soil. Rains wash
down their most valuable constituents, and
on their way they act favoratly upon the
soil, and come in contact with the roots OF
the plants. They should, therefore, ALWAYS
be applied upon or near the surface of the
soil.
With leached ashes the case is different.
The most soluble parts have already been
washed out. They still contain, however, a
notable and very variable quantity of potash
which soon makes its presence known, and,
as leached ashes are usually applied much
more literally than unleached. the response
Of crops is prompt and satisfactory. They
may be economically used for The same crops
Upon grass they are spread as a top dressing,
at the rate of so to 100 bushels to the acre
less upon light soils than upon heavy. Un-
teached ashes are applied to grass and clover
in about half the above quantities, namely,
20 or 30 bushels per acre upon sandy or light
loamy lands, and 30 bushels or more upon
heavier soils.
When ashes are used upon any crop which
occupies the land only one year, that crop,
though greatly benefited, takes but a small
part of the application. 1t should be follow
ed by grass, clover, or by succession of
crops which will make use of this legacy of
fertility y.-Ame'ican AgrIcuLtmrst.

SOME IsTEREsTING FACTS Amour ESeLIsH
FARM LABoRERs.


A correspondent of the Hartford Times,
who is more devoted to telling what he sees
than to making out a case, gives in recent
letter some facts IN regard to rents. wages.
etc. Most of the land, he says, in England,
is farmed by renters, who pay from So to $40
per acre. When land commanding this rent
changes hands which is very seldom, it
brings from $50 to 1925 an acre. Horses
used in farm work are usually of the massive
build so common in this country, and range
in price from $500 to S400 good milch
COW with a calf is worth $50. Farm la
borers earn from 1925 to - week, and
frequently have large families to support
on this pittance. During harvest, which
lasts month or six weeks, the farmer con-
tracts with his hands to work for him during
the whole time. putting in about Is hours of
hard labor day for S25, with SIS extra for
beer. At this period the weekly wage is, Of
course, suspended. The farm laborers suffer
the most in the matter of eating. They get
enough, such as it is, but it is of kind at
which the poorest in out land would deem it
virtue to turn mp their noses in contempt
For breakfast and tea the bill of fare is bread
and dripping, the latter a cheap substance for
butter. For dinner a vegetable pudding is
usually the order. and | am credibly informed
that if these people get little fat bacon two
or three times week, they consider they are
living on the fat of the land
