THE USE OF ,FERTJLIZERs. >

"A farmer sf-a:'f 'fews:ssas ago msns ;:eb5d

tilizers, and as he is a successful planter
it is worth, giving for. the benefit of
others. >, ~: find,n said <he fartssr &that
a great deal of money iafwastea MA too
lavish use of fertilizers when the crop is
planted. If you want to fatten pig YOU
do not give him all the food as once,
simply because it will be wasted. lnd:dG
stroyed before it can be eaten dpby ne
pig. So it is with food for the plant.
Put on part of your fertilizer when you
plant your crop, then every time you
work it add little more. If drouth
comes, and you find it will not be needed,
you save that much. 1t frequently hap
pens that crop is injured more than it
is benefited by the improper use Of fer
tilizers. Then again by putting the fer
tilizer on later in the season you get more
benefits when the crop is maturing and
fruiting." Apparently there is good
sense in the suggestion.-Atlanta Consti-

ONION CULTURE.

Twelve years experience in raising
onions, and no trouble from maggots and
worms. have sown and raised on the
same piece for six years, and the crop
grew better every year. When the
time comes to sow onion seed in the
spring, generally about the last of April,
as early as the ground will work, spread
on thickly rotten manure, plow it under,
and then rake the ground off and mark
it out in drills fifteen inches apart. 1
next sow unlcached wood ashes in the
drills at the rate of forty bushels per
acre. / then sow the black seed on the
ashes and cover with earth. They will
come up black and keep so. l have no
trouble from worms and maggots. Un-
leached wood ashes and onions are great
friends. "Use them freely" is my mot
to, and have never failed of raising
good crop of onions. --Americaa Cult

kEEP YOUNG STOCK GROWING.


II properly fed and kept warm in win.
ter, young animals gain more from The
same feed than they will AZ any later
period of their existence. The necessity
for good feeding must therefore be appar-
ent. For the young stock, If not fed or
cared for as it should be, becomes
stunted, and under this condition there is
scarcely anything more vexatious and dis
heartening. The cause of stunted growth
is usually impaired digestion, though this
is followed by, and often confonnded
with, attacks of scurvy in pigs, lice in
calves or colts or ticks on lambs, all of
which are serious evils. They generally
proceed from the one source of INSULT
cient nutrition. We use this word nu-
triton rather than feeding advisedly.
There may be enough or too much fed,
and there may even be enough eaten, but
it does not digest. 1t is only the food that
digests which does an animal any good
Where digestion is ruined easily the ami
NAL never RECEIVERS to what it might
have been. Starving and surfeiting are
equally injurious. It is just these ex-
tremes that the careful farmer avoids as
belonging to the wild state. No wild
animal produces as much gain in flesh as
one under intelligent and painsta!eing
human care.> The wild animal gets its
food as best it may, and in ATTITUDES
where cold winters prevail it is reason
ably sure to become pinched and stunted
the first winter. 1t is quite likely that
if the buffalo is domesticated and given
food and shelter winters, it will attain
larger size than the buffalo that formerly
ran wild over our western plains.

FLOWER POTS.

It may be well to remember that there
are other uses for old fruit-cans than
feeding them to goats or filling cutters;
they are just the things for home plants
of many sorts. They will retain moisture
much longer than an earthen pot of the
same diameter on top; they hold more
soil, consequently larger plant can be
grown in the same sized pot. We have
seen all manner of house plants, including
hyacinths, in the windows of ordinary
arm-houses, growing in tomato cans,
that would put to shame many of our
florists productions, and mainly because
the plants were in better quarters than in
porous earthen pots. Try tin cans, after
pounding holes in the bottom for drain
age, painting them nicely, not rcd-but
some neutral tint that will not detract
from foliage or flower-and mark the re-
sult.-Ne,o York Observer. !! \

Rattlesnakes in the Yosemite Val
lev.

I heard Judge Nelson telling his cx-
periepce with rattlesnakes in the Yose-
mite Valley, and mildly suggested that
the writers who haye described its glories
make no mention of the snakes. ."Of
course not" said he, "because that
would destroy IL rs resort for travellers.
But they are there anSsn great numbers,
nevertheless. As you drive along the
road you will occasionally hear the burr
t-r of a rattler, and your horse will jump
sharply tc one side. Horses are much
afraid of the snakes and quicker to see
them than men are" +. L. Bonner, of
Montana, who is an old frontiersman,
told how the well posted wagoner on the
frontier always puts a hair rope entirely
around his camp at night, merely stretch
ing it on the ground. No snake will
cross it.-[Ne York Press.

APPLE WOOD FOR FUEL.

! In most old orchards there are some
trees that have become .stunted, and ex-
cept with extraordinary attention will
never pay their way. The better plan is
to dig them out root and branch and use
them for fuel. The extra care concen-
trated on the remaining trees will bring
far larger returns. Most orchards are
planted much too closely for the best re-
suits. Where the tree was dug out fill in
with rich dirt from the roadside, and the
trees on all corners from the old one will
show in their increased products how
much they appreciate the wider range
given their roots. Apple tree wood
makes excellent summer fuel, and is es-
ipecially rich in potash. -'
