GREEN MANURI&G.

The Most Rational System of Restor-
ing Lost Fertility to cultivated Sole.
Waldo F. Brown writing in the Rural
Home, says: From observation and expert
mept, extending over more than quarter
of century, l am convinced that in green
manuring we shall be able. Ito solve the ques-
ton of maintaining the fertility Of our
soils. have lived ever since | began farm
ing, two miles from village aud for nearly
half that time l bought manure at from so
cents to 81 load, and it was a snug days
work 20 draw four loads. AS
long as | was growing market
garden crops found this profitable, but I
soon found that could not afford to buy
manure at 30 great cost to grow corn aud
wheat. I then began to inspect the farms
of my locality for which neither manure
nor commercial fertilizers were ever pur-
chased. and found that many of them that
had been under cultivation for fifty years
or'more were producing excellent paying
crops. and a little investigation soon showed
that on these farms clover occupied regu
lar place in the rotation.
Twenty years ago l stopped buying
manure and have used commercial fertill-
zers only..in an experimental way, and my
farm is as productive to-day as IL was at
the beginning of the experiment. l did
not understand the first ten years Of this
time how to manage green crops so as to
get the most benefit from them as well as
! have during the past ten, and | think |
can do still better In the future, and
would not feel with my present experience
in maintaining fertility that could afford
to draw manureItwo miles il it was given
me, that is TO grow ordinary farm crops. l
have not as yet grown crops to much
extent especially for green manurtng, sand
intend TO experiment somewhat in that line
in the near future, but | have learned some
thing about the management OF grass and
clover, so as to get the greatest fertiliZing
value from them, and at the same time
utilize the crops.
1t lis pitiful to see the want of wisdom
that some farmers show when they pre-
tend to practice green manuring. A
neighbor of mine, in the fall Of 1889, sowed
a field in rye to plow down for the benefit
of the land The fall was favorable. and
he got splendid growth and was intend
ing to watch the experiment carefully and
note the effect on the soil, which was a
strong clay. When spring opened the rye
made a vigorous start, but instead OF
allowing it to grow unmolet ted he turned
his COWS on it, and for six weeks Of very
we. wes Their it was pastured every day, and
when be finally plowed 1t, there was little
Init ssubble left and the land was tramped
until hard and cloddy, and the crop of corn
which followed was total failure, and
doubt il the field does not show the i'll effect
Of the tralnping this season, and it certainly
will not show any good effect from the rye,
for there was none.
I think the most important thing that
have learned In renovating soils. Is that
thoroughly mulched or covered SOIL always

late fall. The nuts should be planted dur
ing the winter.
Tho hills should be foDty or torty-fivs feet
apart each way. Lay off burrows that dis
lance apart and pillow thoroughly and
deeply land three or four feet wide,
Plant three to five nuts in each hill. Ma
nure the hill with ground bone. After

some good compost free from weed seeds.
Ii more than two nuts terminate and grow
or, thin down to two, but do not thin down
to one under fifteen to eighteen months,
then leave the best one. Those who have
had experience of pecan culture allege, aud
we are prepared to accept it as true, that
transplanted trees are not likely to be good
bearers, as in transplanting l or 2.year- old
trees the tap root has to be sacrificed. This
tap root is very essential to the permanent
welfare of the tree.
1t Is much safer to start grove from tn 9
seeds, and it is certainly cheaper. This sea-
sou we planted a few seeds as late as April
%, and of half a dozen young trees now
growing, two of them are 10 to IL inches
high two mouths after planting. The nuts
had become very dry. and only one in four
or five germinate1. As soon as the nuts
ripen and are gathered from the trees they
should be kept in moist sand, or other wise
kept moist, until time for planting out.
Three seeds. when fresh, are likely to give
you perfect stand. 1t is we'll to soak the
seeds six to eight days before planting out.

Too Much Eumus Not Favorable to
Tomatoes,

Tomatoes.
A soil overrich in humus or nitrogen ought
not to be chosen for tomatoes. While the
plants adapt themselves to almost any kind
of soil under judicious fertilizing and culti-
walton, and yield more or less fruit accord
ing to the influences of weather and insect
enemies, maximum results are to be OBJ
tanned only from soil that promote
healthy growth of vine. A black soil
rich in heterogeneous matter but
lacking a full supply of the essential
mineral elements cannot be expected to pro-
du3e as much fruit as one rich in mineral
elements. An excessively luxuriant growth
of vine is not to be encouraged, for there
NAV be more vine than fruit, especially
when much rain falls after the fruit has set.
We have found ray soil rich in mineral
elements either materially or made SO by
proper applications and with just enough
nitrogen to produce medium sized vine,
the best adapted for the production of a
crop of fruit least likely to be impaired by
the damaging influence of too much moist
ure. ..-.........- ....-
The boil worm and excessive moisture
are the greatest enemies to this crop in our
climate, and excessive variance of rain in
vites injury from these causes. Instead of
rich soil for this crop, we would much pre-
fer every time to select that of medium fer

that would supply the elements of food in
Ghe right proportion to make medium sized
vines that will carry all the fruit possible
and to increase Use number of vines per
acre. '--...... ...''.--.
Long experience has shown the supe-
riority of mixture for tomatoes made up
Of about the following proportions: Hypo-
phosphates, containing about Is per cent OF
available phosphorus acid, 1000 pounds;
kainit, Analysing IL per cent. potash, $50
pounds; nitrate soda, containing IL per
cent. nitrogen, $50 pounds.
This formula is used merely as an illus
tration showing the proportions Of the three
essential elements. Any materials can be
used in lieu of these substances to furnish
these elements, due allowance being made
for the difference in the percentage they
may contain. ....-... 90.
. Other forms of potash salts, or cotton
seed hull, ashes, etc, may be used to furnish
potash, and dried blood or cotton seed meal
may be substituted for nitrate of soda. The
important thing is that about $50 pounds Of
soluble phosphoric acid, ninety pounds pot
ash and forty-eight pounds nitrogen be
furnished the soil in applying a ton Of
fertilizer. A ton or q ton and a half of such
fertilizer, lightly narrowed into the soil a
few weeks before the plants are set out, will
put soil of medium fertility into good shape
for growing big crop. Rank, unfermented
manure should not be applied directly to
tomatoes When it is intended to use such
manure 1t should be thoroughly composted
previous to application.

Scraps From Here and There.

Theodore B. Terry Of Ohio is strong ad-
vocate of tillage as at least a partial substi-
tute for manure. He says II he could have
his choice between large amounts OF stable
manure and such poor tools az were used
twenty or thirty years ago, as against half
the manure, and the most thorough tillage,
he would choose the latter alternative. The
loss from weeds under poor tillage will off,
set much OF the gain from heavy manur-
ing. As for making heavy land friable, a
heavy top dressing Of manur may do 1t as
well as the harrow and cultivator. Butt
will also increase the weeds SO that a larger
part of the available plant food will be
worse than lost-used to decrease the crop
rather than grow it.

doubtful.
common mistake in planting corn is
putting the seed down too far. This is
especially true If planted early on heavy
soil. Farmers used to planting on sand can
and do put the seed grain in deeper But
even with them depth of one inch is better
than deeper. We have planted corn one
half to three-quarters of an inch deep, and
compacted the soil around the seed by step
ping on the hull after covering. One reason
why corn II planted too deeply is beca use In
making the soil mellow the marker makes
too deep furrow. A broad furrow two
inches deep, SO as not to dump all the grains
In lump, and then covering shallow, is
best for the crop.
Top-dressing, even with poor soil, makes
it more fertile. It increases soil depth.
Sometimes in digging wells and cellars, the
soil removed is spread on the surrounding
land. 1t may be cold and hard for year
or SO, until frost has mellowed it, but ever
after such land will respond to thorough
cultivation more readily the roots of
plants Will reach down through the strata
of subsotl into that upon which it was
thrown, and the decay of these roots. es-
pecially as soon as clover can be made to
grow, will leaven the whole lump of vege-
table matter full of the elements of fertility.
