Value Of Ashes as a Fertilizer.

The value Of ashes as fertilizer depends
upon the quality of the ashes themselves,
upon the character of the soil upon which
they are used, and the needs of the crop
which is to be grown. While their value is
supposed to depend mostly upon the
amount of potash they contain. there are
certain other elements of some Importance.
such as carbonic acid, lime, phosphoric
acid, magnesia and soda, which are valua-
bic In certain soils. The amounts of all
these varies in the ashes from different
woods and other substances, but as a rule.
it may be considered that hardwood
ashes have more potash and phosphoric acid
than soft-wood ashes and the ashes from
twigs and young wood is stronger than that
from old wood. The amounts will also vary
with the heat to which they have been SUBJ
1ected in burning, as at a very high tenn
perature the potash and sand or silicate of
the ashes will unite by melting together into
glass, so that the potash will not be soluble
in water, and the plants cannot reach il.
Old farmers know this, and often speak of
ashes as losing their value by being burned
to DEATH" Upon some soils the lime is very
valuable, and perhaps more 80 than the pot
ash. And on others the phosphoric acid is
OF great importance. This will in part ex-
plain why leaohed ashes seems to show as
good results as unleached ashes upon some
soils, although the potash is largely leached
out of it. But another good result from
ashes is their mechanical effect upon the
soil. Being finer than the loan soil, they
mix with it and make it less porous, SO that
it holds water better and draws up moisture
from below more readily. But upon a dry
soil they have an opposite effect, making it
more porous and less liable to bake and
harden up On such soils coal ashes often
show good result that is nos due to the
potash, and they have but little. II will be
seen, then, that 1t is impossible to tell what
price farmer can afford to pay for ashes,
as we cannot tell how strong the ashes are.
or how badly his soil needs the car bonic acid
or lime or the potash they may contain.
Experiment with them upon your land, and
if they show good results buy more liber-
ally, and use upon soils and crops Of similar
character. As general rule, it may be
considered that ashes are valuable where
potash is needed, and that they do not do as
well upon cold and moist land as upon
dryer and warmer land. They bring a va
riety of long green moss upon such soils, and
many would not use them there If they
could get them for nothing.

Short Chapters on Vegetable Culture.
SPINACH.


SPINACH.
There are great many plants grown for
green's, but there are none superior to
spinach. 1t is surprising that so many gar
deners neglect its culture. 1t is one of
the easiest plants to cultivate, being, In
fact, the hardest. II there is anything
nicer in the way of boiled vegetables than
spinach we know not what it is. 1t can be
sown from September to April, but to get
the most Of single sowing it should be
sown in the fall from September to Novem-
Der. Sown early in the fall it gives nice
supply Of greens before freezing weather,
and grows of very promptly again as soon
as the soil begins to warm up in February.
Make the soil rich as possible, prepare
thoroughly with pillow and harrow or rake.
Lay off shallow drills two feet apart, and
SOW enough seed to insure stand. A plant
should be left every three or four inches.
Insist on having fresh seed. After sowing
seed cover lightly with rake, and then run
a roller along the rows to press the soil to
the seed. In few days the plants will ap-
pear, and two or three hoeings or sweepings
will soon get the crop under way.
The market gardeners near the large cities
find spinach one of their most satisfactory
crops, realizing oftentirnes as much as $3.50
clear profit per acre. 1t sells for 81 so to 80 80
per barrel, aud 200 or more barrels can be
made per acre on rich land.
We have never had a crop of spinach
hurt by cold weather. It is very impatient
Of the sun, and it is time wasted to attempt
to grow it after April. In hot weather it
will shoot right TO seed when sown late in
the spring. For spring use it can be sown
in November or December even. OF course
when the plants are quite young they may be
heaved out by severe freezes, but the plant
can be solidly frozen and remain 80 for
long time without being hurt.
There are q number of varieties of spin
ach. The "Prickly, Large Round Leaf"
"Virofyn and the Long Standing" are
enough to name. The last, as its name in
dicates, shows less tendency to shoot to seed
than some other kinds. The Thick Leaved"
variety is also desirable.
The leaves should be carefully culled,
boiled perfectly done and served hot with
butter, pepper. salt land vinegar if desired.
AS each leaf is laid in a hot plat, butter,
pepper it and salt each leaf. It will do to
repeat that there is nothing in the way Of a
boiled vegetable superior to it.

Lacks only ono Of making dozen a list

Yet to be named, however,, that will be
found available, TO q greater or less extent,
by large number Of hay ard stock raisers
in the south. The above list must be re-
9arded as the cream of the thirty or forty
grasses that can De used more or less advan-
tagoousiy in our southern climate. Most of
these are perenntals, and must be the main
reliance III establishing our permanent
pastures and meadows. There will be need
for using some Of the ANIMALS and biennials,
however, but We can use a number of these
i'll a way that will render them, ia meas
ure, equivalent TO perepnials. Let US tabu-
late a secondary group of plants which,
with The first, will embrace a SCORE when
combined influence will some day make a
rich and prosperous country out Of cotton

Melilotus

Lespedezo.
Desmodium.
Crab Grass.
Oats.
Rye.
Barley.
Sorghum.
The Melilotus, which we set out 20 de
scribe, is little known in this section Of
country. though it is grown to considera-
ole extent in parts of Alabama. 1t thrives
best on lime soils. but it will adapt itself
to the bulk Of the soils in the south. It will
grow anywhere from two to ten feet high,
according to the quality of the soil. 1t
makes very fragrant hay-is a great Inn
proven Of the soil. The seeds are very small
and ten to fourteen quarts of fresh seed
will insure a good stand. IL can be sown
with small grain if desired. 1t will soon
seed the land by treating the same as Bur
clover. The land should be well plcwed and
narrowed. After sowing seed roll the land

Satisfy.

This very delightful vegetable. known
generally as "Oyster Plant" is entitled to a
place in every garden. OF the various
roots used for table purposes it is perhaps
the most delicate favored. 1t is a very
hardy plant, withstanding the severest cold
without injury. The seeds of satisfy soon
lose their vitality. and great deal of
worthless seeds are palmed Off upon unsus-
pecting customers. 1t is we'll to buy seeds
in the fall and get those grown that year.
Prepare the soil as for spinach, and SOW in
October or early November for the early
crop. In this latitude sowings are more
generally made early in February or any
time during that month. In such soil a
plant can stand every three or four inches.
Until recently there was only one variety
catalogued, but few years ago variety
was introduced as the Sandwich Island )"
which makes much larger root than the
welI-known sort previously used alto
gether.
There is kind known as black satisfy,
which is very little used, we believe-never
having grown it ourselves.
Slowed and served after the manner of
oysters it really reminds one of that dish.
1t is far preferable to carrots or parsnips.

The Forage Plants for the South.

THE MELILoTUs Tor White Clover Of
Chile.
While it must be confessed that the dozen
or more plants that we have already named
and commented on in this connection en-.
brace about all that will be needed in the
new agriculture that is yet to make great
stock country of the Empire State of the
South" including much Of the territory
living east of the Mississippi and south of the
35th parallel of latitude, still it will not be
out of place to go on and name a few
more plants that will doubtless be used to
some extent, according to circumstances OF
locality.
We are truly glad to find a very great in
terest manifested in these talks about grass
and clover and stock We only wish we
could make them more interesting, and
could persuade many to join US in talking
about and 10 rejecting upon this all I'M
portant subject. 1t is an important one
unquestionably.
Before proceeding with remarks IN regard
TO Melilotus let US enumerate the several
plants that we have already discussed, so
that IL any reader feels like supplying the
name of any other plant that may have
supplied his own personal need in satisfac-
tory manner he can do so. Those thus far
named were:
