specialties his land and locality are best
adapted 20, and put his labor and fertilizers
mainly into these.
Few farmers, for example, can grow with
great profit such a crop as oats, TO be sown
only at usual market prices, yet il they can
grow oats of some extra variety, keeping
the stock pure and to be sold as seed. this
crop thus grown as a speciality may be
made extremely profitable, and yet not sell
the seed for more than it is worth TO those
who buy and sow ii.
But it is on the right methods and times
OF applying manure, as well as to the kind
Of crop, that its effectiveness largely de-
pends. If coarse manure were always ap-
piled as we have seen it this spring, we
should advocate composing. it is the ouly
way TO make it effective. Drawn out late.
mixed with straw or coarse shavings, and
buried under furrow, II is quite as likely TO
do injury as good the first season. Should
the summer be a dry one, very little Of its
value will become available for crops until
fall, and then its soluble parts will on some
kinds Of soil be washed away, either over or
through the ground, without returning any
benefit to the soil. Coarse manure should
be applied early enough, and always as a
top dressing, so that it's soluble parts can be
washed into the soil and incorporated with
it. If well composted, manure may be mixed
with the soil any time during the growing
season, but even then the earlier applied
the moro effective it will be. 1t requires
much more water to decompose unferment-
ed manure than it does to make available
that already fermented, and which needs
only a very little moisture TO dissolve its al
ready soluble portions.
There need be no fear that trying to make
manure as Immediately effective as possible
will tend to exhaustion Of the soil. Exhaus-
tion comes rather from neglect of great
restorative agencies, like clover and grass,
which help to save what would otherwise be
lest.
Grow as large crops Of grain as farmer
may, his land is not exhausted il he sows
clover with every grain crop, and allows 1t
to grow so as to fill the soil with roots feed
ing the clover hay to stock and returning
manure to the soil. Using the commercial
fertilizers thus grows more clover and grass,
and the mineral elements in the fertilizer
return to the soil all that the grain sold
from the farm removes, and usually some
thing besides. The system of plowing un-
der clover every other year and sowing
wheat will, in time, make the land incspa-
BILE of producing more clover unless other
fertilizers are applied, but this need not be
feared where clover is cut and fed to stock.
and mineral fertilizers are used to restore
what the grain removes. Excepting for its
mineral fertility land can be kept in good
condition by liberal seeding with clover, and
the careful use of fertilizers made on the
farm. But enough mineral fertilizer must
be applied to enable crops to use all the
nitrogenous elements in the SOIL else some of
these are certain to be wasted. lily bal
anced manures for crops are nearly If not
quite as wasteful as poorly balanced ra-
tions for stock.

The Tomato.

There is no vegetable receiving more con-
sideration just now at the hands Of the
various experimental stations than the to-
mato. New varieties, or, at any rate, the
multiplication Of names are legion. Every
scotsman makes it a business to offer some
new named sort every year. To say that
any great improvement has been effected in
the tomato in the past five or six years
would be unwarranted; no doubt still by
crossing and selection a number Of new va
rieties have been added to the lists that will
meet with great deal of favor with anna
teurs, though it may be some time before
they enter into general cultivation for mar
ket purposes
The most attractive variety on the lists
at this time is the Ponderosa, known last
year as ''the 400." 1t is the smoothest per-
haps Of all the large tomatoes. and is i'm
mensely productive. Specimens were ex-
hibited weighing over three pounds-one
nearly four pounds. The flavor is all that
could be wished. 1t is solid with very little
woody matter, has very few seeds; the
color a rich crimson. Several commend
the Ponderosa as a good shipper, which is
disputed by one or two others All agree as
to its large SIZE fine shape and productive
ness. There are SO few seeds in the Pom
deross that it requires about twelve bushels
Of the tomatoes to yield one pound of seed.
1t is necessary to stake the vines SO as to
keep the fruit from the ground, else they
will fall fiat and rot. With the light before
us the horticultural world has been en-
rched in the past three or four years by
three wonderful plants-Burpees Bush
Butter Bean, Burkett's Bush Sweet Potato
and Henderson's, Ponderosa Tomato that
are not likely to be matched in the coming
decade.
We commend them to the amateurs,
especially who find delight in their well-cul-
tivated gardens-those who feel, with
Lord Bacon, that "a garden is the purest of
the human pleasures, the greatest refresh-
mont 60 the spirit of man.

Melons and Small Fruits.

Bulletin No. 28 of the experimental station
at Auburn, Ala, treats of watermelons and
cantaloupes. OF watermelons they tested
the seeds from the middle and from each
end of the melon separately and say: "Only
the merchRntable melons were gathered for
the test. The largest weighed 1866 pounds
and came from the seed of the middle Sec
ton. The smallest, IS pounds, from the
blossom end. The seed from the ends each
produced 435 merchantable melons per acre.
while those from the middle produced SOY
per acre, in number, 70 more than either
end. and in weight more than two tons
In excess of the ends. The variation in the
time Of maturity is even more marked
than that in production, the middles matur-
ing six~sevenths of the melons seven days
earlier than the stem end ripened half. The
time of ripening ranged from l09 to 116
days from date of planting"
While one experiment is not positive
proof, results so strongly marked are strong
evidence. They do not suggest that similar
experiments with squashes and cucumbers
might show a similar result but it suggests
itself to the mind OF the writer. Their
comparison of varieties is of but little value
to gardeners in the northern states, but
their statement that late-planted seed re-
quire less time for maturing than those
planted very early may be of use here.
OF cantaloupes they say that they are
most productive upon highly fertilized soil.
"While the watermelon grows to perfection
only upon soils containing a large percent
age of sand, the canualoupe will produce
well upon any character of soil whicn is fer
tile and in good mechanical condition. I'm
like the watermelon also it will thrive and
produce best when planted thiokly. Instead
Of planting in hills six feet apart, plant in
rows four feet apart and two feet in the
drill. Cultivate shallow in advance of the
growth of the vines, which should be dis
turbed as little as practicable.
THE secret of success rests in: /.
Thorough preparation and fertilization of
the soil Q: Planting as early as the sea-
son will allow. To secure an early stand it
is well to replant between the hills ten days
after the first seed are planted. If the first
come the replanted may bechopped out. II
the first are killed the replants replace them
promptly. 3: Cultivate early, frequently
and shallow. Deep cultivation so mutllates
the roots as to prevent fruitfulness, Water
melons bear upon the main stem of the
vine. Cantaloupes bear upon the latersls.
"Cantaloupes should not be allowed to
ripen fully upon the vines. For shipment
they should be pluoked, with stem attached,
just long enough before ripening to reach
their destination before becoming mellow
but not green enough to cause willing. For
home use pluck when the stem readily
separate from the melon under gentle pres
sure, and store in a cool place to mellow. If
plucked at the proper stage OF ripeness the
desirable state Of mellowness will be reached
in twenty>four hours. Both watermelons
and cantaloupes for home consumption
should he plucked early in the morning,
while freshened by the dew and the cool at.

Make the Most of Manure.

In farming, as in every other business,
success depends upon the use made OF capi-
tai. says the american Cuttiudtor II used
as it should be to get quick returns, the
business pays its way; or il 1t does not, the
farmer quickly discovers the fact and
changes his practice accordingly. The fact
that a part of the manure applied to crops
is not Immediately used by them. but re-
mains for future years, confuses farmers
about their business more than anything
else. It is not always possible to tell whether
combining the immediate and the ultimate
benefit the manure applied is profitable or
otherwise. Usually, however. II the crop
does not at once pay. there is some change at
once needed, either IN crop, manure or
methods of cultivation.
aAOuite often it is the kind of crop that is
TO blame for the farmers want of success.
Farming no more than any other business
can be prosecuted successfully by seeking
onlv the easiest methods of conducting it.
These are always the most sought after and
poorest paid. The great staple crops OF any
country unless especially difficult to grow
or restricted to comparatively small areas,
bring low prices and small Profits to the la
Dor and capital employed In producing
them. Men may and do make comforta-
BILE living by growing such staples, but 1t Is
only in specialties that the largest profits
are to be made. 1t is therefore part of the

Variety Tests of Cotton.

During the past year the Mississippi agri.
cultural experimental station made COM
parative test of forty odd named sorts-we
cannot say varieties, for doubtless many of
them are synonymous of cotton. The test
was made on well-drained low lands to
which no manure was applied.
The following six varieties" gave the
largest money returns:
Texas Stormproof, Eureka, Acleu, Baily
brakes Cluster and Willis.
Those making the smallest returns were:
Ben Smith, the Hawkins Improved, We'll
born's, Fancy Pet, Mammoth Prolific,
Wonderful, the Marvel and the Hunnicutt.
Most of these names appear highly inappro-
pirate from the test.
One test, however. proves little or moth
ing. Other tests may show altogether dif-
ferent results in respect to the relative value
of varieties.
Every southern station should carry on
tests of our staple crops simultaneously,
and compare results. Such corporation
would develop the truth after awhile.

Pruning Grape Vines.

The grape is not to be pruned, says q con-
temporary, when bleeding would follow,
which is always the case as soon as the sap
begins to move in spring. Pruning when
the vine is at rest obviates this, and the work
may be done as the leaves drop in the fall,
or any time in winter when the ground is
not frozen; or it may be done early in
spring, but it should not proceed later than
the middle of March. Pruning is to pre-
vent overbearing aud consequent injury OF
the vine, in the first place. Second. to OBJ
tain better fruit, which becomes more per
feet in every way. as the vine is not over

Making poultry houses too large and on
too expensive plans has caused many day
dreams Of profit from poultry TO fall Of re-
allzation. A large house presupposes too
many fowls kept in one inclosure. Ii is far
better if the large number is desired to
make cheap but warm house for every
thirty or forty fowls, and have a separate
yard for each. Then if vermin or disease
get in the job of caring for the infected es-
tablishment is lessened. Poultry houses
may be made cheaply now without sacrific-
ing warmth. In all cases the building paper
used in lining houses should be applied. 1t
costs little and unless fowls are kept warm
winter eggs are an impossibility.

shortened one-thild 70 one-half in length.
With these general principles the beginner
can DO fairly well and experience will give
additional light. IL is to lie remarked, how
ever. that varieties OF moderate growth like
Delaware, are to be pruned closer than such
strong growers as Concord.
