What oar Lands Require.

Mr.. G.. II. Richman, we'll known as one of
our most intelligent and successful far
mers, whose well-tilled fields and abun-
dant crops show that he uses his head as
well as his hands in his business. gives us
the result of some experiments he has been
making tending to show the needs Of the
soil in this locality. He says that the
three principal requirements Of plant
growth are nitrogen, p%hosphoric acid and
potash. The two last he contends are
already abundant in our soil, being found
in mari with which the region roundabout
is underlaid, md which has been freely
used for years. The element not found
here is nitrogen, which must be applied.
On one part of 4 field of grass on Mr..
Richman's farm he applied nitrogen alone
as a fertilizer, in its most available form of
nitrate of soda. On another portion he APP
piled the same bulk of a compound of
nitrate ofsoda, phosplloric acid and potash,
and the remainder of the field he left with
out fertilizers of any kind. The result is
that the grass on the part where nitrogen
alone was used exceeds i'll appearance and
quantity that o. the part where the three
constituents were applied by as much as
the latter exceeds that on the part where
no fertilizer at all was used. In other
words the best results are shown where
only the nitrogen was used, the grass on
this portion, Mr.. Richman says. surpass-
inc any he ever saw at this season of the
year. Practically the phosporic acid and
potash on lot No. 3 We're thrown away,
the soil already being well supplied there
with, the increase over No. j being due
only to the nitrate of soda, and on No.
where three times as much was applied
the yield is much heavier. Moral: Study
the needs of your land and act accordingly.
