The Season for Compost.

Composts for cotton and corn should
now be put up as soon as possible.
Judging from many inquiries sent us it
is inferred that the value of the digestion
or cooking which occurs in 4 compost
heap is not fully appreciated. Some
seem to think that if the several ingre.
dients are simply mixed together at the
time they are put in the soil that will
answer every purpose. This is mistake.
Take cotton seed for instance. A plant
could get nothing from them until they
are dead, and the rotting which follows
death has broken up the vegetable cells
and changed its heterogeneous compounds
into ammonia or nitric acid, and uppris.
oned its phosphoric acid, potash and
other mineral contents. These valuable
substances are found almost exclusively
in the kernel, and this Is enclosed in the
hull, which is very hard. woody cub

cotton seed hulls, scattered freely upon
the soil. even after lapse Of twelve
months, had produced no appreciablein

ton seed Is also trne of the undigested
portions of the food which constitute q

almost the whole Of the litter mixed
