FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
FARMING WITH FERTILIZERS.

II proper rotation Is pursued ordin-
ary farm crops can be grown indefinitely
where only mineral fertilizers, chiefly
phosphate, are applied directly to the
soil. This rotation includes frequent
applications of clover rs green manure.
1t has been tried on land rich in mineral
plant food for mauy years without de-
creasing the crop Ct grain. 1t would
not do for growing corn, potatoes or
garden vegetables In all Of these clover
alone is too slow n manure, but for
wheat on land rich in phosphate the
biennial clover crop has for long periods
been found sufficient for the require
ments of the grain crop.
But for the great majority of farmers
speculations as to what can be done with
mineral manures, alone have no practical
value. They are more expensive than
the supplies Of nitrogen and mineral
matter that can be made by careful feed
ing OF the best stock. But the fact that
some farmers have found out how to
manage mainly by using mineral ma
nures is suggestive to ali. 1t bchooves
every farmer to make accurate expert
ments so as to determine the cost of his
stable manure, and if it cost more than
mineral fertilizers, to either change his
stock or place more reliance on fertili-
Zers with clover. This last requires fer
its best use two years occupation of the
land, and is, therefore, unsuitcd to To-
calties near cities where land is very
dear, and the interest account makes any
| green manure the most expensive tina,
can be applied. 1t is chiefly neav cities
and large villages that purchased stable
manure Is now extensively used. At t
distance from cities and villages farmer,
must rely on the manure they can make
in their own barnyards, supplemented
by commercial fertilizers -Americat

GARDENING FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

The amount Of vegetables that can be
raised in garden plot would seem to
depend more upon the care bestowed on
their cultivation than upon the area de-
voted to them. Vegetables can be raised
with more or less success on different
soils, but if the garden is upon naturally
good land It will be greatly in their
favor. Still, by yearly giving proper
attention to the preparation of the soil,
by undertaking where required, and
by mulching with plentiful supply of
manure productive garden can be made
at no great cost on almost any spot of
ground. The true value of the products
when used in the family is rarely known,
but were they bought instead the cost,
if an account were kept, would be sur
prising. The garden should contain a
judicious selection Of varieties ard special
attention should be give. to successive
pldDtl0gS, lUdC tncTc may DC generous
supply as long as they are seasonablc ard
desirable In this knowledge of the
habits of plants, as influenced by changes
of temperature, is important. As the
season advances and the weather be-
comes warmer oil kinds Of vegetables
grow faster, or, as some one has expressed
it, they seem to overtakc one another
Thus while peas planted quite early, at
dates week apart, will make about the

How to Shoot Kangaroo.

Shooting kangaroo with a rife re-
quires large degree OF skill. On the
flat plains the animals loom" in an ex-
taordinary manner. and it is only after
much practice that one unaccustomed
to measuring distances over these un-
relieved areas can get their range.
Sighting, for instance. at 500 yards. the
tyro will be likely to see his bullet kick
the dust 200 yards short Of the mark,
and the kangaroo, alarmed at the
whistle of the missile on the ricochet,
making off at express train rate in the
distance. The surest way to bag kan
CARGO at long range is to put your sights
up for the greatest distance at which
the rife is gagged, and gradually lower
it until the bullets take effect.
A kangaroo will stand lot of firing
at in this way, and although he will
look up as each shot sings above him,
seems to consider it some strange insect
or other, and directly resumes feeding.
The ping" of rifle bullet that comes
over him without interruption is quite
different to the noise made by a ball on
the rebound. and while he win take
alarm from the latter the former has
little disquieting effect upon him.
