IMPROVEMENT OF POOR LAND.

The use Of green crops for the improve
ment of poor land is not SO easy as is
commonly thought. Green manure is
most effective on good land, and for the
purpose of al 1taining its fertility, rather
than of resto ing it when this has been
lost. The crop to be plowed under, Of
course, adds nothing to the land that has
not been taken from it. But it is very
rare that any land is SO impoverished that
q thorough blowing and a dressing Of
lime will not bring some crop that may
be turned under with benefit. 1t might
be suggested that such land be pIowed
two inches deeper than it has been pre-
viously, and given a dressing Of twenty
five or thirty bushels of lime to the acre.
Then SOW with buckwheat IN June, using
one-half bushel of seed per acre. Then
SOW one peck of clover seed per acre and
harrow it lightly with brush harrow or
plank drag. This covering Of the seed
secures it against spell of dry weather
that might occur.
The buckwheat is harvested in the
usual manner, and the clover will make
sufficient growth to go through the
winter safely. The next year a crop of
hay is taken, and the second growth is
left on the land, to be turned under for
corn the next year. When the corn is
laid by the land is sown with clover again,
and the seed is covered in by light V
shaped harrow run through the rows.
The corn is worked level, so that the
seeding may be as even as possible. This
alienation may be made once more, when
the second growth of the clover is turned
under for wheat, and 200 pounds of
superphosphate of lime may be applied
per acre. By proceeding in this way
and blowing deeply the land may be
much improved in a few Eears.-New
York Times.

RYE AS A GREEN MANURE.

When I bought my present farm of
sixty-fVe acres in the fall of the year,
writes Joseph Smith of Michigan, I
found it in badly rundown condition.
Not one acre Of meadow was on the
place, and the tenant declared that it was
too poor to raise clover. I commenced
by putting in the best portions of the
farm to fall wheat, and the poorer parts
to fall rye. During the winter l cut
wood and hauled 1t down to the city,
and when l could not get load of man
ure given tome, I could usually buy a
two-horse load for twenty-five cents.
This l used us top dressing on the fall
crops, very thinly, of course. In spring
I sowed clover and Timothy seed on the
wheat and so much rye as I had top
dressed. This followed with forty
five toothed steel harrow, which served
the double purpose of covering the seed
and fning the manure. The balance of
the rye left to grow as best it might

the decomposition of the rye, and after
properly pulverizing and again rolling,
planted it partly to potatoes and corn,
sowing the balance to fat turnips. In
August there was good growth of bot
toms. I pulled the larger ones to feed
the stock, as at this season of the year
the pastures are suffering from dry, hot
weather. Then 1 plowed down this
mass of vegetation and again rolled and
narrowed till time to SOW to wheat. The
next year there was no trouble in locat
Ing the line of the green manuring.
AS soon as it was time to stop cult
waiting the corn crop, sowed rye in the
corn, cultivating between the rows with
shallow tool. This gave pasturage for
all kinds of stock till the snow covered
the ground. This item of pasture alone
Will pay the cost of labor and seed rye.
Next year the rye was turned down.

RICH GROUND FOR EARLY POTATOES.

A rich, deep and dry soil is necessary
to grow early potatoes. We say dry, be-
cause the sets must be planted early, and
if wet and cold they will rot rather than
grow. This rich, deep soil, that is dry
early spring, will be all the moister dur
ing the droughts of summer. If the
potato tops can be kept green a week
longer on one piece than another, it means
doubling the crop of marketable tubers.
A few days extra growth means making
the large tubers larger, and bringing
those that would have been tit only for
pig feed to marketable size. The crop
should have some fermented stable
manure to give the plants an early send
off. 1t will not cause early potatoes to
rot, though it may with the late crop

seeding to clover and Timothy. After
digging the potatoes, I narrowed the
ground down level and sowed to rye to
pillow down for corn or millet for fodder,
taking off in time to prepare for wheat to
be seeded down the following spring to
clover. Sometimes l plant potatoes on
every third furrow when blowing down
the rye, and if it should be dry season
the potato crop will grow right along as
the rye seems to retain the moisture.
have had potatoes thus planted that were
green and fourishing weeks after all or
binary tender vegetation was blackened
by the frost. In digging potatoes SO
planted, it IS better to ploH them out.
1t is enough to make man enthusiastic
to see the clean crop of tubers lying in
rich bed of decomposed vegetation.
This plan of enriching the farm may be
carried into the garden patch, taking off
squash and other vegetables, and sowing
to rye to pillow down for the same kind
of crops the following season. No mat
ter if it does not come up that fall,
it will come all right in the spring, and
only be few days behind the earlier
sown crop.-American Agriculturist.

You're certain to be cured of it, or

you, or pay you, no matter how bad
your case, or of how long standing.

They have a medicine that cures
Catarrh, not for a time, but for all
time. They've watched it for years,
curing the most hopeless cases.
They know that in your case there's
every chance of success, almost no
chance of failure.

willing to make the test, if the
makers are willing to take the
risk ?
If so, the rest is easy. You pay
your druggist fifty cents. and the
