Most kinds of farm crops are nov

Most kinds of farm crops are now
grown on small margins of profit,
and will not bear very expensive ma
nuring. This is especially true of
grain crops that require little labor in
cultivation. Market gardeners think
nothing of applying 1000 or 1920
pounds of concentrated manures in
growing some of their crops that re-
quire most labor. 200 to 250 pounds
of phosphate per acre is about as high
as wheat growing farmers can afford.
More than this on good land makes
the grain grow too rankly, so that it
lodges and does not fill as it should.
On spring grains the dressing is even
less than this. $50 pounds of phos-
phate per acre will usually pay on
barley and often on the oat crop. A
larger application might not pay, and
under some circumstances might even
be damage. The small grains differ
from corn and garden vegetables in
the fact that they receive more ma
nure than is really good for them,
while the soil can hardly be made too
rich for the latter. Even the lighter
application of manure for grain crops
would not pay at present prices were
it not for the fact that some portion
of the fertilizer remains in the soil to
benefit the after crops of clover and
grass in succeeding years.-American
CultiUdtOr.

Some Pickle Recipes.

CHOw-CHow.- One gallon vinegar,
one pound white sugar, one pound
ground mustard and three table
spoonsfull of salt. Put on part of
the vinegar and let it come to boiling
point, leaving out part to mix the
mustard to the consistency of cream,
pouring it slowly into the boiling vim
egar, stirring all the time SO as to
have perfectly smooth. Let it boil a
few minutes, then put it in three
gallon vessel and it is ready for the
vegetables. Boil the vegetables I'M
til merely soft, previous to putting
them into the mixture.
Add fifty small cucumbers OF equiv
alent in large ones cut into small
pieces, two quarts string beans of the
white wax variety, very young and
tender; two quarts small onions, one
quart Lima beans, one caulifower,
one and one-half dozen ears corn, one
quart nasturtium, one teaspoOnful
turmeric, put in after all is mixed.
We make the above mixture and put
only cucumbers and onions in it. We
use some large, ripe cucumbers cut in
small pieces, boiled gently in brine
until merely tender. Some persons
like cabbage shredded fine and put in
with little good olive oil added.
GREEN TOMATO PICKLE.-To one
peck green tomatoes add half peck on
Ions. Cut them in rolling slices,
sprinkled with salt for twenty-four
hours, then drain them through a
colander. Take as much vinegar as
will cover all, add half cupful yellow
mustard seed, half cupful ground
mustard, quarter cupful cloves and
allspice each (whole), two dozen
black pepper grains. When the vine
gar is boiling throw in tomatoes and
onions, boil them slowly until tender.
They will be fit for use in few days.
COLD CATsUP.-Take half peck
ripe tomatoes, half gallon cider Gap
ple) vinegar, teacupful salt, four red
peppers, two tablespoonful celery
seed, two tablespoonful ground
black pepper, teacupful mustard seed,
ground or broken, teacupful grated
horse radish. Mix all we'll together,
fine, and put in wide-mouthed
bottles, well corked and covered with
sealing wax.
