potash and nitrate of soda were applied
singly and two by two in full rations or

acre, respectively, and each material in
one-half rations and II rations with one
ration of each of the others Two plats

straw and grain are tabulated. The re-
suits may be summarized as follows:
The application of nitrogen, potash or
phospholic acid alone resulted in no in

The application of two Of the elements
in combination gave some increase in

Potash increased yield somewhat pro-

How and When to Apply Lime.

H. Stewards practice in applying lime
to any crop for the benefit of the clover
following it has been to prepare the land
in the best manner, for lime will not
make up for any deficiency in this respect
turning under what manure has been
appropriated for the crop, then spread
ing the lime prepared by air shaking, by
exposure to the weather in heaps in the
field, and then following by the seed.
The seed and the lime are both narrowed
in together, He says in The Country
Gentleman:
AS crimson clover is sown in the fall
it may be put in with wheat or rye in
the south, where it will stand the winter,
but as this will be hardly safe in the
north, the clover may be sown in the
spring with oats or alone. In that case
the lime will be applied to the land as
soon as the seed is sown, or before if it
is thought more convenient But when
the clover is sown for the sole purpose
of blowing in as manure, the lime may
be applied on the land Immediately after
the blowing. The land is then narrowed
and the following crop is put in, or if it
is to be corn the lime may be applied in
the spring, just before the ground is
finally prepared for planting. The prin-
ciple of it is that the lime is applied
when and in what manner it may have
the best effect upon the green manure
for its decomposition.

A FOWL HOUSE FOR RENTERS.

A Detached Building That May BE Cheap
ly Constructed and Easily Moved.
In country towns and villages there is
a considerable class of small poultry
growers, who, being renters and there
fore liable to moving about from one
place to another, require poultry houses
that may be transferred along with other
goods and chattels without great ex-
pense. For the benefit of this class is
here given an illustrated description
If plan of house recommended by the
editor of Farm Poultry as suited to the
requirements of renters, He says:
We give the plan of a house such as we
should build were we on rented place,
or, if we adopted the colony plan, of
having detached houses set $50 feet apart
over the fields, with the fowls having
free range. This house we should build
8 by 10 feet on the ground, : feet high in
front, feet high at the back, with a
half window at each end, and a door, a

An expert can dig half an acre even of
drilled potatoes in 10 hours if the crop
fs clean. But ordinary men would be
about three days digging an acre. The
cost of this amount Of labor, including
board, would be about $4. There are
more farmers who get their potatoes dug
pit greater cost per acre than this than
There are who pay less. Thus writes
IMr. T. B. Terry of Ohio, who has been
Very successful in potato farming. For
'hree years past he has used a digger
which cost 500. Hand labor has been
Entirely dispensed with except at the
Pnds of the field and when digging I'M
ripe potatoes for the market About an
hours work in the morning and as much
more after dinner would dig as many
potatoes as his help would pick up.
With the conditions all just right, he
pas dug an acre in two hours, but ,ordi-
harily it would take about three.
Instead of paying out about $50 sea
|on for extra help to dig his crop, the
machine now does it, and of course he
pockets the $50. This is more than lit
orally true now, for of course the ma
,hine has more than saved its first cost.
Again, he can rush business, putting all
he help at picking up. He is quite in
dependent, also, for any one can pick up
but few can dig well and fast. The ma.
Ehine wears fast, but probably $40 would

hor of New Potato Culture"

 Ed had remarked that life was too short to stay Tn one place for any length of time and made up his mind to decamp. Some ready friend had passed in the tools with which he dug out.
