etable acid the plant in it's development
may produce.
A very familiar example of this is af-
forded by the Vine The juice of the fruit
contains the well known acid of grapes,
combined with potash This compound
is soluble in grape juice, and in this state
of solution itIfows from the wine press in
to the vat AS the juice ferments, the
compound, being insoluble in wine, sep
arates from it and collects on the sides
and bottom of the vat. Removed and
purified it is known as Cream of Tartar
1t is composed of the acid of grapes
called tartaric acid-combined with pot
ash In this state of combination apor-
ton of the potash which had entered the
roots in the form of saltpetre, after pass
ing through the circulation of the vine,
and parting with the acid which accom-
panied it on entering, re appears in the
fermented juice, the particular acid of the
plants having replaced that which had
become separated from it on the way.
In the soil it aided in the formation of
an acid from smelling salt, and combined
with it. In the vine, it, so to speak, let's
go that acid, aids in the formation of one
of purely vegetable origin, and in turn
combined with it, thus completing the
important round of duty, which, as far
as science has shown, no other fertilizer
can perform. To the vine, then, potash is
Indispensable. 1t is equally SO to large
number of other plants, acting in way
similar to that which wehave endeavored
to describe, without the use OF chemical
language. We hope, therefore, to be I'M

all other vermin from creeping under it,
1t not only answers this purpose but it
protects the plants also from the wind.
Ii left unprotected they are liable to be
switched about by the wind and get the
''sore shins, as the native farmers callit,
which hinders their growth. When the
plants have four leaves apiece [ consider
them out of danger and thin them out to
two plants in hill. Old sacks or pieces
ofcarpet are kept lying beside the frames,
and if there is probability of frost at
night they are thrown over the frames
and removed in the morning. | let the
frames stay over the hills day and night
until the vines begin to reach and climb
over them, then take them away and
store them for another season. Shallow

quent intervals early in the season, but
after the vines begin to run freely this is
gradually dropped. If the ground was
plowed at first deep, as it should be, all
this cultivation ought to be only on the
surface, especially close about the hills.
If a crust forms here break it with my
fingers; the hoe is apt to scratch the ten
der vines
Beginning foot or two out from the
hill, / let good many weeds grow,
merely breaking off the rankest of them
a few inches above the ground. These
serve the vines as support. Ii the weeds
do not grow thick enough, often set
scores of little sticks for the tendrils to
cling to. Without anchorage of some
kind the vines will be blown ruthlessly
about by the wind, doubled and twisted
and much injured. The weeds also shade
the ground against the burning sun and
prevent it's fertility from being roasted
out of it.
To determine whether a melon is ripe,
snap it and then snap the top of your old
boot; if they sound alike you may pull
the melon. If you are still doubtful turn
the melon over and see if it is yellow on
the bottom. Stick the thumb nail into
it; if it goes in with soft, mushy sound,
it is green if goes in with asharp clink,
it is ripe. But the surest test is the sound
of the snap. Gentle pressure on ripe
melon will make it crack inside; but this
test ought not to be tried very much, for
if the melon is green it's internal economy
will be injured by the squeeze.

the mass and throwing it into separate
piles, will not lessen the pungency of the
odor. The fermentation to which it is
ascribed continues. If, having both piles
under cover, we mingle with one of them
a quantity of wood ashes, during the
act of mixing, the odor may be slight
ly increased. But in few days it will be
reduced, and in short time thereafter
become scarcely preceptable. That OF
the other pile, to which we have not add
ed ashes, continue strong.
By throwing the latter pile into a YES
sci of water, and letting it remain there
until all of it's soluble matter is Dissolved
out, then straining off the clear LIQUID, and
evapor ating and purifying it, we obtain
smelling salts, such as is used in smell
ing bottles.
BY throwing the other pile into water,
and treating it similarly, we get salt
petre. The transformation undergone
in the latter pile, by which the smelling
salt had been converted into saltpetre,
was mainly due to the potash contained
in the wood-ashes. This led the smelling
salt to undergo achange, in the presence
of atmospheric air, which it would not
have undergone without the potash. A
portion of the air was absorbed by the
mixture An acid was thereby generated
which, Immediately upon it's production,
combined with the potash and the two
became saltpetre, which is inoderous.
Now these two piles may serve to illus
trate what takes place when two fields
similar in aspect, and in the appearance
of the soil, are top-dressed with barn
yard manure, uniform in it's composition,
and themanure turned under. The illus
tration is not perfect, however, for no
soil, from the lightest sandy loan to the
heaviest clay, can besaid to be absolutely
destitute of potash. But the quantity is
in some cases so small, or it is in such
condition, that practically it has little
effect. In such field, the manure, SO far
as the crop is concerned, lies dormant,
unless that crop be exceptional. The
smelling salt in the manure may evolve
odor, and give the impression that the
soil is rich, but that salt lis not.plant food.
No proof exists that it is ever taken up
by theroots and into the plant, dissolved
in the earth juices, and thatit there under
goes change. Theresults of investigation
go to show that the change into saltpetre
must take place in the soil, and that in
order to effect this change, potash must
be present in sufficient quantity, and in
a suitable form. Where not thus present
naturally, it may be applied either with
the stable manure or before it, and the
more thoroughly the two are intermixed
the better it will be.
Whether the potash be in the soil nat
urally, or be added to it, however we'll it
may be mingled with the barn-yard man
ure, unless the atmospheric air has access
to the mixture through thorough pulver
izatiOn of the soil, the transformation
into saltpetre will not take place. The
change is one in which a powerful acid
substance is produced. This uniting
with the potash loses it's acid proper
ties. Neither acid nor potash alone en-
tiers into the plant. The two combine
