Soils and Fertilizers-How Exhaustion of
the Soil Is Brought About-How to Inn
prove Lands Fertility mt the Least FIX
penditure OF Time and Money.
The principal constituents of plant
food are nitrogen, potash and phosphoric
acid. Exhaustion of soil, explains the
agricultural editor of The New York
World, may be brought about either by
the withdrawal of the ash ingredients
contained in the crops that are annually
taken off without any return being made,
or by a washing of the surface that
gradually robs it of its plant food Com
plete exhaustion would require the re-
moval of all the mineral elements of
plant food, which never occurs As
commonly expressed, a soil is said to be
exhausted when the crops produced on
1t cease to be profitable. This condition
may be brought about by the removal
from it of one single necessary mineral
element of plant food, although all the
others may remain in abundance. In
general the essential constituents above
named. phosphoric acid and potash of
the mineral elements, and nitrogen of
the organic, are all that will be required
to produce remunerative returns from
worn soils, providing judicious rotation
of crops is observed by which liberal
amount of vegetable matter is returned.
II all tho vegetation yearly produced
was allowed to remain and decay and
become plant food, the soil would be
constantly improving in fertility, but to
make cultivation profitable a principal
part of each crop must be annually re-
moved and used for other purposes.
Hence it becomes necessary to return to
the land mineral substances equivalent
to those extracted by the crops, other
wise the soil will decrease in fertility.
II we had the power to determine ex-
actly what particular element of plant
food alone was wanting, then the use of
single fertilizer might be sufficient.
This, however, can only be done by
chemical analysis of the soil or expert
ments, or both conformity, and SO the at
tempt to supply single element usually
proves failure. From this cause it is
only safe to use what are called complete
fertilizers, or such as in their compo-
sition contain all the principal elements
Of plant food, and as nearly as possible
in the same proportion as they exist in
the plant to be produced.
Again. while chemical analysis will
reveal approximately the ingredients
contained in soil, it fails to show how
much of these elements can be used by
the plant in the process of its growth.
One or more of them may exist in such
state as to be wholly unserviceable
until reduced to a soluble form by the
slow natural process of disintegration
and decomposition, or the application of
some chemical agent that shall prepare
them for more immediate usefulness.
In this way the application of lime to
certain soils often proves surprisingly
beneficial, although the article itself is
not considered strictly manure.

Experiments in Cheese Making.

Professor Robertson, Canadian dairy
expert, details the results of experiments
in cheese making on the manner of get
ting the curd out of the whey. In one
experiment the whey was drawn sweet;
in the other the acid was allowed to de-
yelop before the drawing of the whey.
In both cases the milk was divided into
three equal parts, to one of which three
ounces of rennet extract was used per
1000 pounds of milk, to another five
ounces, and to the third eight ounces.
The lesson taught by the experiments
was that the quantity of rennet added
for coagulation of the milk has less effect
on the keeping qualities and curing of
the cheese than has the condition of the
curd as to its dryness and firmness, or
softness and moisture, while the acid is
developing. The early removal of whey
from the curd favors its speedy separa-
ton from the particles of curd, and in
the proper degree

Grape Rot.


A. w. Pearson, of Vineland, N. j., in
recent lecture on grape rot reported on
results of his experiments in connection
with the department. at Washington.
The results show that the black rot fun
gus is best controlled by spraying the
vines early in the season, before vegeta-
ton starts, with strong solution Of sui
phate of iron, say two pounds Of cop
peras to gallon of hot water. After the
vineyard is plowed in May top dress with
slaked lime. When the vine is setting
its clusters, and before opening Its blos-
SONS, spray with Bordeaux mixture,
which is made by dissolving six pounds
of sulphate of copper, say, IL six gallons
of boiling water; In another vessel slake
four pounds of new lime in four gallons
of water; mix the two solutions and di-
lutte with water sufficient to make TWEEN
ty-two gallons of the liquid. Repeat the
spraying every three or four weeks, less
frequently in dry than in wet weather.
Mr.. Pearson says he saved 90 per cent.
of his grapes by this spraying, and has
found the best work done by the portable
sprayer, made (and invented by Adam
Weaber, of Vineland. 1t is not neces-
sary to drench the vines, and the spray
ing is less expensive than bagging.

THE CLOVER CROP.
Beneficial Effects to the Farm from the
Craving NJ C.ioves r

Beneficial Effects to the Farm from the
Growing OF Glover.
No matter what is done with it, the
growing of clover can hardly fail to be
beneficial to the farm. Those who SOW
clover seed literally can hardly fail to
find it profitable. Even when the field
is to DO plowed nextspring, what growth
the plant win make in single season
viii pay the cost of the seed and putting
it on. We have more than once seen
clover in blossom before frost cut it from
an early spring seeding, and with foliage
enough to make ton of hay per acre.
and that of the best quality for cows or
sheep. This from seed that cost say
$3.50 per acre is a pretty good return for
a crop that only costs the labor of har-
vesting it The roots of such crop are
the cheapest manure that the farmer
can get. 4@
But there is no further expense except
the use of the land, If the clover is al
lowed to grow the second season. In
this time two crops may be cut, the first
for hay and the second for seed. 1t is
during this second growth of clover that
q most remarkable increase in available
nitrogen occurs in the soil But for the
fact that the ground is very hard and
dry after taking off the seed clover crop,
it would be good plan to pillow imme-
diately and sow wheat with dressing
of superphosphate to supply the needed
mineral fertility. 1t may seem like hard
cropping to take off two clover crops
and then sow wheat, but the land is
doubtless in as good, if not better con-
dition, than it would be If plowed in
spring, and bearing one grain crop dur
ing the summer. There is, besides, a
large amount of valuable hay saved, and
this is worth more than any other hay,
both for nutrition and for the resultant
manure heap.
Almost any kind of crop succeeds well
on clover ley. II. has fewer weeds than
any other sod, and its own roots do not
sprout and grow upward, as June grass
sod will persist in doing. Not only does
it decay rapidly, but as 1t penetrates the
sub-soil it leads the roots Of corn and po-
tatoes downward, so that they are not SO
likely to be injured by drought. Where
clover has grown the soil Is most porous.
1t absorbs moisture from the air, as the
latter is cooled by touchingit. To pillow
under for green manure, the large or pea
vine green clover is preferable. But little
is now used in this way, and for making
hay the medium red Is the best, and is,
in fact, good enough for any other pur-
pose.-American Cultivator.

Tar water for Cabbage Worms.

A. S. Fuller states in Orchard and Gar
den that tar water will kill the cabbage
worm or green caterpillar Of the cabbage
butterfly. His early cabbages were be-
ing rapidly destroyed by these worms,
but lone sprinkling with tar water, ap-
piled with a watering pot, destroyed
every worm and egg" ,...s.. So.
1t is prepared by placing quart or
two of coal tar in tub or barrel, and
then filling up with water. In about
forty-eight hours the water will smell
strongly of tar, when it may be dipped
off and applied to plants with syringe
or common watering pot.
