Good Culture for Fruit.

J. H. Hale, noted Connecticut hor-
ticulturist, writes as follows about giving
good culture to fruits, in the Boston
Globe:
Gin all plant-culture it is ofincompar
ably less importance to have deep bed
of loosened soil than to have the sur
face, if only for an inch deep, made fine,
open and clear, as soon as the plants we
are cultivating begin to grow, and keep
ing it so until the plants have reached
their full extension. For the subse-
quent development of seed or fruit this
soll-culture is unnecessary. TO give one
example of the truth of. this | will quote
our beds Of Manchester strawberry, a
sort which is said to excel in light. sandy
soils, while all the strawberries are
down to great depth. We planted the
Manchester, therefore, with not a
little hesitation upon heavy clay so
tough that Hexamer hoe can do moth
ing with its firm crust when dried by
spring winds, and even a good pick
makes limited penetration of it. But
the growth and yield have been first
class, and better in the very heaviest
than in our lighter soils. In common
with other plants, strawberries make
much less root in strong rich clay than
iii the comparatively poor and dry sands,
where the. plant has to use up most of its
material to make roots long and numer-
GUS enough to supply the wants OF linn
tied number of leaves. In the clay, on
the contrary, fewer and shorter roots
can supply a luxuriant expansion of
leaves and blossoms. The breaking of
the spring crusts is a slow operation in
our soil because of the time and force
required to break the cakes and clods,
which must be mauled or rolled to get
them fine. II left in Jumps they allow
the drying winds to reach the surface
roots where they are nearly or quite
left bare. If, however, the soil has
been stirred late in the fall, and not
trampled in the spring while soft, it
breaks up like loan, because after be-
ing loosened upit could absorb and hold
much water, which, freezing, mellows
the soil better than any implement can
do Our practice with nursery or other
plants that cease growing in August or
September is to allow weeds to start
then, and turn them under with shall
low running moulding plough in
clear of weeds in spring, and be-
sides that, is fed by the decay,
while the stirring of the surface
becomes quite as easy as in fine loan.
With strawberry plants which make
their chief growth after the August rains,
in the cool autumn months, September
is the month tor their cleanest, careful
est culture. This late stirring has the
effect too, of rendering the spring STIR
ring more easy. The comparatively
very small importance of having finely
meilowed and deep soil for the roots, is
we'll proved by the superior growth of
wheat on new clearings or broken pral-
rie, where only the superficial inch or
two is stirred and all below is wholly
unbroken save by roots of plants which
have penetrated it. Note the success,
too, of potato or melon culture without
any digging or ploughing at all, but

will govern in this case, as in every
other. If the British farmer has more
stock than he needs, he undoubtedly
will sell that portion of his surplus which
he can sell to the best advantage. If the
breeder on this side of the Atlantic
knows, or is quite sure, that he can
make money by buying high-priced
breeding animal and selling the prod
uce, he will buy it wherever he can
find it whether or not the royal COM
mission or the newspapers object. 1t is
not good policy for farmer to sell his
best breeding stock, but if he has a sur
plus he can sell part and not cripple
his resources. In fact, this evidence of
worldwide demand tor breeding ami
mails which will improve the stock is
rather a cause for congratulation than
otherwise. "The world is better for it,"
and even if for the time the average
quality of the stock in England is low
cred, the matter will equalize itself If
those "rich breeders" of the Gazette
find that they can get more money by
retaining their best stock, or even by
importing from the United States or
Canada, they will do SO, as they have
the money to pay for what they went.
There is none too much attention given
to the improvement of stock, and any
thing tending to improvement hardly
calls for depreciation, even though one
person should assist in improving his
neighbours stock by selling him one of
his best animals at good round price

Classification of Soils,


Prof. Johnston classlfes soils, ac-
cording to their clayey or sandy pro-
portions, thus:
/. Pure clay from which no sand can
be washed.
2. Strong clay or brick clay, which
contains from 5 to rs per cent. of sand.
8 Clay loan, which contains from 20
to 40 per cent. of sand.
4. Loan, which has from 40 to 70 per
cent. Of sand.
5. Sandy loan, which has from 20 to
80 per cent. of sand.
6. Light sand, which has less than 10
per cent. OF clay.
Sandy soils, then, are those which con-
sist mainly of grains of sand, or silica, or
flint, and is called silicious soil. Nat
ure never bestowed upon man a soil of
greater capability of being made lasting
ly fertile than the sandy, light soil.
Gravelly soils need no description,
though there are rich gravels and poor
gravels, depending upon the rocks of
which they are composed, and the sub
stances which are mixed among them.
Clay soils consist largely of alumina,
that is, having such abundance of clay
that 1t is called the ''clay metal" Clay
itself is a compound of silica (sand),
acid, alumina and water. 1t also con-
tains potash, soda and lime. 1t forms
compact, fatty earth, soft to the touch,
sticky in a moist state and very hard
when dry.
Chalky soils have been formed from
rocks IN which lime was abundant.
Peaty soils need no description, al
though they differ very widely.
Alluvial soils are formed by deposits
of sand. loan and gravel brought down
by rivers. They are very rich, being
composed of multitude of thin layers
OF mud, in which all sorts of fertilizing
material is mixed. Loany soils contain
large portion of decayed matter, hu-
mus or muck, as it is called. Woody
fiber in state of decay acquires dark
color, and ultimately becomes mold.
Loan contains a variety of ingredients,
as clay, sand, lime, in addition to hui
mus. It is loose, friable description
of soil, easy to cultivate. and as to tex
ture is the most desirable description of
land for purposes of tillage.

Soiling Cattle.


Under certain circumstances soiling
cows-that is feeding them with green
crops grown and cut for them-Das been
found very profitable. Prot. Henry of
the Wisconsin Experiment Station gives
his experience of soiling as follows:
by soiiing in summer certain area
of land will yield double the amount of
milk and butter that it will when pas
tured. The large amount, or rather
great weight, of food consumed daily
wlllsbe surprise to many who have not
carefully weighed green food for stock.
In the month of June our COWS con-
sumed ll6 pounds of irst-crop clover
daily each. Our results show that for
one season at least just as good results
can be had from half the land by soiling
two methods will not be discussed, as
we would institute no comparison that
would be at all applicable to the gener-
al dalrymen from this trial. The time
OF man and team going to and from the
field tor the clover and corn for our
three cows was the same as TOR large
herd. This part of the problem can
easily be left to the practical dairyman
to figure out for himself But no mat
ter how or what the figures show, let
our dairyman and farmers wake up to
the necessity of partial sOiling in mid
summer, when the pastures grow short.
We kept three COWS up to July 10Th on
q acres, but at that date the grass be-
gan to fail and we had to fall back on
/ .45 acres additional. Had we not done
this we would have injured the first
pasture seriously, if not ruined it, tor
fall iced. and had the COWS drop off
largely in milk; here would have been
double loss. and one of no small mag
nitude. BY having had good area in
soiling crops to fall back upon we might
have partially soiled these COWS for a
couple Of months and so not needed
this -and-a-half-acre-lota at all. With
out soiling crop to fall back upon, the
farmer who stocks his pasture to It's ca
pacity in early summer will find the
grass cropped 100 short in midsummer
and decreased flow of milk; if he does
not stock to the early summer capacity
he loses by so much, as the grass grows
long and remains uneaten. Let partial
soiling become more common in Wis
consin land everywhere), and we can
by an increased milk and butter yield
largely make up for the lower prices for
the product. He who practices partial
soiling for season, by the results OBJ
tanned can judge whether or not it will
pay him to extend the practice"
