Nitrate of soda-what it is.

A correspondent engaged In trucking
wants to know the value of nitrate Of soda,
as he sees frequent references to 1t as a
good fertilizer for garden crops.
Nitrate OF soda, or Chile saltpetre, as IL
is sometimes called, is a salt imported into
this country from Chile, where it is found
in large deposits II is dug out of the earth
just like kainit is obtained in Germany. It
is put up in double b gs several hundred
pounds to the bag.
A first-class article of nitrate OF soda con-
tains about 16 per cent nitrogen, the only
element in it that is of any value to the
gardener. The nitric acid 10 it is highly
soluble, and the slightest shower washes out
some of it into the soil when the nitrate of
soda is applied to the surface. IL must un-
der no circumstances be put deep in the soil
but must be used as q top dressing, and gan-

Of plants to set out late in January and
through February. Nhether the coming
winter is to he unusually severe or not re-
mains yet to be seen, but in all probability
it will he much colder than it has been in
several years. It is always wise to make all
necessary provisions for such case and, if
| it should prove warmer than expected, you
will have no cause to regret the precautions
taken.
Beet seed may be sown in the same man
ner as recommended for lettuce, and the
Young plants protected in like manner
These can be transp!untei late in january
or early in February. and table beets can be
secured earlier in the spring than the
February sowing of the seed affords. This
method pays the grower Tor market very
handsomely, generally. as early beets com-
mand high prices. The Early Dewiug and
the Eclipse and Bassano are good kinds,
and it is we'll to sow two or three kinds.
Cabbage seed should be sown at once so rs
to secure fine stock plants 20 be set ont by
Nov. 10. Plenty OF plants should be re-
straw. in case the transplanted ones are
killed by severe freeze.
In this latitude the fall act cabbage are
winter killed now ana then, but this does
not deter progressive gardener from fol-
lowing the same plan the next year. This
risk must be taken IL cabbage growing is to
be made successful.
In a previous number several good varie-
ties were named )ttIers Brunswick, I'm
proved Savoy, Winningstadl, Buist's Flat

There are a great deal OF poor cabbage

best seed possible. 1t pays in the end. Send
In due Ime TO some scotsman of good repu-
tation and let them understand you want

In setting out strawberry plants It is not a
good PLAZA to set on high beds like those
prepared for sweet pc atoes. The tendency
OF strawberry plant is;to raise itself out Of
the soil. On this account the plants should
De set on the level or in slight. gently
sloping depression. In setting out plants
use O garden trowel and scoop cut a
hole large enough but not too
deep to allow OF the roots
being spread out evenly in every direction.
Do not make hole with round stick and
push all the roots 10 one mass into IT, II
you do you will find that the plants viii not
thrive and produce like those set out
properly. The following maxim should be
understood by all fruit growers "Do not
try TO do in an hour wha5 can onlv be
properly done in a half day" There is
such a thiBg as being too smart.
