FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


There are plenty Of methods for an
alvzinr soil To be found in the chenais-
tries. but none Of them sufficiently simple
and convenient for the average farmer,
even II he had the necessary appliances.
In fact, there Is no cheap and easy way
OF analysing the soil. To have it done
costs from five to twenty-five dollars for
each operation, and requires skilled
chemist TO do it. Unfortunately, too,
soil ANALYSIS, when performed, is practi-
caisy useless. for it shows not what there
is Of plant food available, but what there
is altogether, and this is only IN the iden-
teal particle analysed. And If the food
be not available it might as we'll be
elsewhere.
The real and practical method of
telling what a soil needs Is to give diff
ferent sorts Of fertilizers to different
strips. On one strip put bone dust or
superphosphate, at the rate of 400 pounds
to the acre. If an unusually vigorous
growth results, the land wanted phos-
phoric acid. On another strip put wood
ashes, at the rate OF twenty bushels OF
unleachcd ashes to the acre. If good re-
suits followed, the land wanted potash.
On another spot put nitrate of soda, 800
pounds to the acre, or good dressing Of
barnysrd manure If the result is salts
factory, the land wanted nitrogen.
These three nitrogen, phosphoric
acid. potash are al the chemical in
gradients Of the soil that tho farmer need
care about, and in this simple and profit
able way he may obtain what is, in eff
feet, the best analysis of his soil that
can be procured. OF course the needs
Of the different plants for different
quantities of nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash should be taken into ac-
count. The experiment should be carried
on in three divisions after this manner
With plant requiring potash, such as
the potato. a strip of land under all
three kinds of fertilizers; with phos-
phatic plant, such as wheat, three strips
and with nitrogen plant, such as clover
and peas, three strips. This being done,
you have secured an accurate knowledge
of the need of the field experimental

Farmers who are acquainted with the
habits of the English In respect of stacking
hay and grain are often surprised that we
fail so often here in this work, notwith-
standing our supposed drier weather.
There is a mistake about this. We fail
in making weather-pr stacks because
we ought to build them even better than
English farmers do, (Which, however, is
very rarely done, indeed, for the reason
that while we have more dry weather
here, vet when it rains it pours, and in
England it drizzles. Our rainfall is
nearly double that of England,
and we have it large and heavy, but not
frequent, installments. and this is one
reason why we have trouble with our
stacks and get them sodden inside from
top to bottom The English are very
particular in stacking, and thatch the top
with great care. binding on the straw
with bands or ropes and pins. They al
so build their stacks on reasonable prin-
ciples, so that if water should enter it
will quickly find its way to the sides and
escape by the caves.
In building stack the centre should
be kept much higher than the sides, and
each forkful put on after the bottom has
been LAID should overlap the previous
one. as one Single does another on a
roof It is quite as easy to do this as it
is for a man to stand in the centre, in a
hollow, and pile the hay or fodder all
around him on the sides, keeping the
centre few feet lower than the rest of
the stack In stacking corn fodder,
which is better kept in this way than in
barns, it is necessary to begin in the cen
ire Of the stack, and it is good plan for
novice to set a long pole in the ground
and build the stack around it. At first
the bundles are set upright around this
pole or in the centre. and others are leaned
against these, gradually lowering the
slope of the bundles until the outer row
is nearly level When two or three lay
ers have been stacked the bundles are
first laid on the outside, and are made to
project few inches over the side so as
to spread the stack. This protects the
sides from the drip Of the caves. One
bundle overlaps the other, the but Of one
coming little below the band Of the
lower one. The former inclination le pre-
served until the stack is eight or ten feet
from the ground, when the stack should
be at leasta foot and q half wider on each
side than the base of it. It IS then drawn
in gradually, the centre being still kept
increasing in height above the sides IN
til the last few bundles are set nearly
upright around the pole and are bound
firmly to it. If the stack top is well
beaten down it will then shed any rain.
