FERTILIZERS

There are certain facts concerning
the three valuable Ingredients of plant
food-nitrogen, phosphoric acid and
potash-whlch should be understood by
all farmers who expect to succeed with
fertilizers:
Nitrogen is the most Costly element
plant food and losses from fertilizers
are often due "a extraVAesaS and fna
'dIcious use of nitrogen. Expenses for
nitrogen may be reduced BY practlcing
green manuriug; that Is, by planting
clover, peas or vetcheS, which have
the property Of absorbing nitrogen
from the air. Green manuring pay 8
best on light soils, but is of no benefit
on psaEy soils.
Phcsphorio acid and potash, though
present in nearly all soils, are for the
most part insoluble, and therefore in
an unavailable condition. Small guam
titles Of Ihese mineral plant foods are
annually dissolved by SOL wa1 and
plant acids, bat rot enough TO suppiy
the plant roots sufficiently with nour
ishmeEt For this reason, p~hosPhorie
acid and potash must be aided 10 the
soil If L I4iI crop il deared,
Nitrogen must be applied duriog the
growing j asCn at the time ~hen needed
oy the pl1pEs, and il is well TO apply it
as a top dressing. Nitrogen is app to
Ieacn cut with the soil water.
PhosphorIc acid and potash are best
applied some weeks before planting Il
crop. and should be plowed under.
There Is little danger of teaching from
these mineral fertilizers.
KainIt Is the proper form Of potash
for sandy soils, as it makes them more
compact; f3r stiff soils muriate and
sulpha9e IF potash N best.
Potash il especially valuable for
fruits, tobacco, potatoes and vegetables
of all kinds.
Sandy and limestone soils nearly
always need potash Clay soils some
times contain sufficient potash and
again they do not; this should be ascer.
trined by experiments.

honest in everything.
The bills introduced bv the Popu-
lists IN Congress were nearly all emer-
cencv bills. This tendency of all of
them was to increase the circulation
and drive panic from the land. Ii one
or two of them had become laws there
would have been no need of enac,ins
