You do not say what kind OF plants you
applied the nitrate to, or the season of
the year or the quantity applied.
1t quite probable that you applied too
much, as that can be easily done. The
nitrate of soda is very concentrated il re-
spect to the element, nitrogen having
usually, unless diluted with some other sub
stance, fully l6 per cent. nitrogen, over
thirty times richer in this element than
good article of stable manure.
AS we remarked in reply to a correspon-
dent. care must be exercised in its use. and
1t should not be applied to any kind of crop
usually until the plants are ready to make
use OF 1t, and then it should be broadcasted
evenly and thinly, of course. about them,
and as far as possible keeping it from fall
ing directly upon the plant-such plants as
would catch and hold 1t about the bud-cab-
bage. caulifower, lettuce, straw berries and
the like. ss1s4
Are you surs the nitrate of soda you used
was Of standstd qualityi 1t may be that it
was adulterated with common salt-chloride
OF sodium-whieh would have rendered it
more injurious than it otherwise would
have been. 1t may be that you merely ap-
piled too much and while the plants were
dormant morenor less. What plant did you
apply it to, and what quantity and what did
the nitrate cost youl

Broadcast Cotton AS Fallow Crop.
Did you ever try an acre Of cotton planted
hroadcastl II not we have an interesting
experiment. to suggest to you. and il you
will make IL on medium land that would be
greatly benefited by the application OF a
coodly supply Of vegetable matter this fall
it will be all the better.
About the middle Of April SOW four to six
bushels Of cotton seed broadcast on an acre
that has been we'll broken. Then give a
thorough narrowing and roll the land
About two weeks after the plants are we'll
up run O smoothing harrow over the field
which will destroy the young grass and
weeds, at the same time thinning the cotton
to some extent.
II you do not possess smoothing harrow
and cannot borrow one, use any harrow
that you may have or can borrow.
Two or three weeks after the narrowing a
rain having fallen and the grass again made
its appearance. repeat the narrowing, run
ming it the opposite way from that of the
first narrowing. A third narrowing later
may or may not be given little later, de-
pending on the nature of the weather.
The result will probably be a genuine
surprise to you, and what splendid guam
tity Of vegetable matter there will be to
turn under this winterl The thousands OF
small plants will be very easily turned un-
der, which will put the soil in fine condition
for oats Or corn IN the early spring
Try an acre on our recommendation. You
will not regret it. Remem Der, cotton thus
planted produces "fallow' crop that is not
surpassed by any of our ordinary plants.

Crimson Clover.

H. T. E.. inquiries about crimson clover.
I planted an experimental patch in my
yard last September. and it has grown all
winter and is now eighteen inches high and
full Of blossom buds which will be out in a
couple OF weeks. / intend to cut it and
cure it for hay at the proper time. 1 think
it would yield two tons per acre by the ap-
pearsnce Of mine. Now l think there is
millions In it for the Georgia farmer to
make pork and for dairy stock. also as a
land improver. A. W. Lewes in South
Jersey improved his land by clover in eight
years that yielded from fifty bushels of po-
tatoes per acre to 500, and increased the
value Of his land from S15 to 300 per acre

Fits from Here and There.

The advantage of having the soil finely
pulverized before putting in fine seed, and
rolling or pressing the earth down upon it,
is that the earth will thus come in contact
with it upon all sides, the air will be ex-
cluded, the moisture necessary for germina
ton will be maintained, and the young
roots as they put out will find their food all
ready for them.

me that was just matter OF money, and

advantage worth noting. but the prevalence
of yellows may make it advisable to bud
the peach on plum stocks. This Is especially
recommended for places where the soil Is
too heavy for successful growing Of the
peach on its own roots.

Was Sir Edwin Imposed Upon?

Recent travellers in Japan ridicule the
highly colored statements Of Sir Edwin
Arnold and others as to the charms of
the women and pleasant manners of the
people generally. In particular Profess
sor Knott tells the Scottish Geographical
society that, when the charm of nov
city has worn off, the traveller generally
discovers that the natives have been
making fun of him. The experienced
traveller in Japan finds the manners and
the service Of the inns fairly satisfacto-
ry, but far from romantic. He knows
the ways Of the country, and the fair
mattresses get no extra amusement from
him and treat him just as they would
one of their own countrymen, with quiet
respect and placid mien. When not per-
turbed by what seems to her simply for
eign vulgarity the waiting maid of ia
pan, Professor Knott says, performs her
duty quietly, faithfully and unobtrusive~
ly. Near the open ports, however,
where the country is overrun with the
globe trotter, Professor Knott says there
is marked deterioration in the man
ners OF the lower class Japanese, and
the traveller is himseleto blame for it.
