More Potash Needed.

I, Fodder crops, pasture grasses.
corn stovcr and hay all remove large
amounts of potash from the soil, and
these crops occupy large proportion
of our improved lands.
2. The urine of our domestic animals
contains about four-ffths of the total
potash of their eXcrements.
8. When urine is allowed to7waste,
the manure is poor in potash.
4. When manures are exposed to
rains much of the potash, being solu-
bic, is washed away.
s. Nearly all the special fertilizers
are especially rich in phosphoric acid,
and do not contain enough potash.
g. Superphosphates were the first
fertilizers to come into general use
among our farmers.
z. When the farmer buys fertilizer,
he still, nine times out of ten, calls for
phosphate.
s. As result of the above condi-
tions our soil seem to be quite general
ly in need of liberal applications of
potash.
0. In the case of corn the need of
potash appears to be particularly
prominent.
10. For good crop of corn the fer
tilizer used should supply 100 to 125
pounds of actual potash per acre; 200
to $50 pounds of muriate of potash or
one ton fifty bushels) of good wood
ashes will do this, !
II. With ordinary farm or stable
manure it will generally pay to use
some potash for corn; 1875 to $50 pounds
of muriate of potash has given profita.
BILE results.
IL. The liberal use of potash means
more clover in our fields, more
nitrogen taken from the stir, more
milk in the pail, richer manure heap
and store-houses and barns full tC
overlooking. 1t means also u SOC
which when turned will help every
other eros.
10. For the potato crop the sulphat'
appears to be much superior to the
muriate of potash, promoting botf
yield and quality in much higher de
gree; 800 to 400 pounds of high-grad'
sulphate of patash furnishes enough
of this element.
For oats, rye and grass, nitrate o
soda applied just as the growth begins
in spring has proved very beneficial
300 to 400 pounds per acre should b,
applied. Prof. w. p. Brooks, Massa
chusetts Agricultural College.

HERE AND THERE.

Some people are always finding
fault with nature for putting thorns
on roses; | always thank her for put
ting roses on thorns. -Alphonse Karr.
One of the advantages of keeping a
single breed of chickens is that the
eggs are more uniform, and conse-
quently more salable, and this is no
small matter, if you think it over Sc.
riously.
When planting trees for the adorn-
ment of the home grounds let us coun-
sci you to give preference to the native
forest growths. Do not waste money
for fancy foreign growths that are not
half so handsome nor well suited to
the purpose. Nearly all of our native
trees can be used to advantage for this
purpose.
The question as to whether apple
orchards should be cultivated or kept
in grass has long been n subject for dis
cussion. The Massachusetts Horticul-
tural society has decided that apples
grown in grass land will keep longer
than others, and, therefore, approve of
that method, at least for late-keeping
sorts,

The Management of Manure.

No question which have heard dis.
cussed at farmers institutes this winter
has excited greater interest than that
of the management OF manure, and
find that the practice of thinking farm.
ers throughout the state is undergoing
a radical change in this management,
and that the number of those who adj
vocate hauling the manure from the
stable Immediately to the field, when
the weather permits, is constantly in
creasing.
These farmers are realizing the fact
that the chemical changes which take
place in pile of fermenting manure
involve far greater loss than is
ordinarily experienced by the wash
ing of wcllscattered manure in the
fields. They have learned from the
chemist that the moment manure be-
gins to heat it begins to lose ammonia,
for such heating is due to the forma-
ton of ammonia. This ammonia es-
capes from the manure-pile in the form
of an invisible gas, and hence those
ignorant of chemical processes have
not detected its escape, while they have
been able to see the coffee.colored
water running away from the manure
scattered in the fields.
Another point has been overlooked;
namely, that ordinary clay has won
derful faculty for catching and hold
ing the manurial elements of this col
ored water, so that even on a steep
hillside the water flows but short dis
lance until it loses it's color.
1t is said that the process of refining
sugar was discovered by observing the
white tracks left by an old hen with
muddy feet as she walked over pile
of brown sugar, and this property of
clay has been demonstrated in many
other ways
AS the matter stands now, it is prob
able that the occasional losses which
may follow the spreading of manure
upon frozen ground or snow, when the
spring thaw comes with heavy fall OF
rain, are far more than offset by the
certain losses which ensue if the ma.
nure is allowed to heat, either in the
barn-yard or in piles in the open field,
for this heating begins the moment the
temperature rises above the freezing
point.-Charles L. Thorne, in Ohio Elk,

pay them liberal price, with rations
furnished But rations are SO cheap
now they can work two days in the
week and make money enough to buy
rations to last till the next, and but
few will work or care for anything
more,
The cheapness of provisions has
caused more lazlness In this section of
the country than anything | have
known. There are numbers of men who
own from Ave hundred to one thousand
or more acres of land who would be
glad to get families on it TO work
on shares or any other way II they
would come; even If they have no
money, arrangements for provisions
could be satisfactorily made on easy
terms, and it would be of mutual adj
vantage to laborer and employer. And
now, why should men stand off and
say they can't get work to do, when
there are so many hundreds, or may
say thousands, of farmers that need
help every day through the year and
would be glad to have them. Men
without families can do well here any
where. w, r. Hobson, in National

When the water was withdrawn
from the lake near Gcyser Springs, in
Saratoga, an immense quantity OF
trout and pickerel was captured, many
of them being of great size. ID is
thought that the mineral water i'm
pregnated with gas was the cause OF
the uncommon abundance and fairness
of the fish-that the stimulus of the
mineral constituents and gas sharpens
the appetite, invigorates the nerves OF
the stomach and promotes the diges-
ton Of the fish.
