uses of the smoothing Harrow.

In the olden days the chief work of the
harrow was the preparation of the seed
bed, and it was laid aside when planting
was done, says the American Agricultur-
list. Then the weak sprout was left to
crowd its way through packed or crusted
soil, and when at length it reached the
surface it was destined to find mass of
weeds already in possession of the land.
During all OF those years spent in deplor-
ing such conditions as irremediable, the
needed implement lay on the premises
unused. Now the harrow follows the
planting, weeds are not allowed TO get a
start, and the soil is kept mellow all the
time. Under these conditions the young
plant has no difficulty in reaching day
light and it has the field TO itself when
1t gets up The value of the work in
preventing too rapid evaporation of moist
ure is no small item in the account. After
the crop is up, the harrow is the very inn

forty to fifty degrees. Good work can
not be expected where the surface of the
field is covered with coarse rubbish
Here is matter of forethought that
should receive attention in the prepara-
zion of the soil. Anything that clogs the
teeth is likely to tear up the plants. If
the soil is mellow and free from obstruc-
tons the teeth glide through the hill, do
ing the best kind of work without injury
to the plants, Even in the garden often
run hight harrow over the ground when
the peas, beans, beets, etc, are nearly
ready to break Through the soil. 1t helps
the plants, and saves great deal of
hand work in its wholesale destruction of
weeds. Here it is necessary to slant the
teeth so as to do very shallow work and
/ try TO drive so that the horses may not
step on the rows. The lever attachment
with which the slant of teeth is so readily
changed to any desired angle, was a
great improvement on the rigid old-styl9
harrow.

The Drought and the crons.

For ten or twelve weeks, and a little
longer even in some localities, drought
has prevailed over large territory of
the south For the months of April, May
and June there has been less rain, per-
haps, than any year in twenty-five. The
crops of corn and cotton have been at a
standstill for several weeks, our pastures
in some instances, are as dead as they
usually are in November.
The writer's Bermuda grass pasture,
usually ankle to knee high in the
greepest of grass on June 10, could easily
be burnt OFF at this time if match were
only applied to it. Corn at 8 o'clock in
the morning appeared twisted and curled
on all uplands, and and cotton was doing
well to retain its vitality. Gardens we're
affording few or no vegetables that are
usually abundant in early June. The
Irish potato crop is almost a complete
failure in Middle Georgia as in other sec
tions
Whatever the seasons may be from now
on, corn can hardly amount to more than
half of an average crop unless the very
late paintings may do well. Bad as it APP

There is nothing to be gained by that.

Onion crowing in the south.

For fifteen years we have practiced the
plan of raising onions from the seeds
first growing the plants in cold frames,
oftentimes in open air beds, and then
transplanting into rows when they at
tanned sufficient size-that of a large
straw up to the size of a leadpencil As
fine onions as are grown anywhere can be
grown in Georgia by this plan. If we
could keep the onions after making them
as easily as they are preserved at the
north, the southern growers could COM
pete with the New England growers
very readily But as our onions ripen in
midsummer months before cold weather
sets in, it is almost impossible to keep
the onions sufficiently even to warrant
any extended cultivation of them
Our market gardeners. therefore, only
grow what they are able to dispose of in
a green state. We have no doubt that
the day will come when onions for winter
use will be grown in the south-when a
late maturing onion is discovered and the
enterprising grower has provided him
self with a suitable cold pit.
As it is now the bulk of the onions
grown by our home and market gardeners
are raised from sets, thousands of bush
els of which are sold every fall and
spring in Georgia We found many
years ago that onions that were grown

them. Too many of them would rot
The extremes of cold and heat that they
are subject to during their growth pre-
disposes the onion to decay. Those
grown from seeds sown in March pro-
duced those that would keep the best.
The Italian sorts are to be chosen every
time, and of these we found the New
unsurpassed by other sorts. Time and
again we have grown the Rocca to such
size that a dozen would weigh from

1t grows large enough, however. 1t is
really not desirable TO make the onions
grow to very large size. 1t is better to
have smaller ones and more of them.
Any experienced housewife would choose
small to medium sized onions in prefer
eace to the very large ones, for they are
more easily cooked perfectly done Oc-
tober is the best time to put in the sets
for the earliest spring crop. Fresh seeds
should be sown in Septe m Der and October
and transplanted the last of October and
during Novem Der. In sections where
freezes occur in December and January
1t is well to give the transplanted onions
a mulch of pine straw, but usually it is
not necessary.
The second planting out is done in Feb
ruary. Plants for this crop are raised by
sowing the seeds in cold frames about
Dec. 10. Hot beds are not at all neces-
sary for growing onion plants. A well
made cold frame will furnish ali neces-
sary heat IN our southern climate. AT

A store of Futura wenlth.

There is reason to hope that the world
may be greatly enriched through the
results of an important series of observa-
tions and experiments now being carried
on to determine just how certain plants
manage to assimilate nitrogen from the
atmosphere, says the Youths Com
panion. 1t has been discovered that such
plants as peas, beans and clovers have
their roots invaded by myriads of minute
organisms, which may be either bacteria
or parasitic fungi.
these organisms in some unknown way
incite the plants to increased activity so
that they are able TO assmilate free nitro
gen from the atmosphere, and thereby TO
supply, through their own subsequent
decay, an abundance of nitrates, nitrites,
AMMONIA, and other heterogeneous sub
stances TO the soil.
Efforts are being made to determine
whether some other stimulus. besides
that furnished by the organisms referred
to, may not be applied to plants which
will enable them still more eHectually to
assimilate nitrogen from the air tor the
ultimate enrichment of the soil
The Importance of these investigations
may be judged from the following state
ment made by Prof. II. Marshall Ward
a leading authority on the physiology of
plants:
This question be it emphatically
stated, promises to be of more Importance
TO agriculture in the future than any
legislation as to prices, etc, that we can

directions for giving dose Of medicine:
Halter the animal and tie it securely

stairs with the message, while he kept
his eye upon the odd-looking visitor.
Lady Salisbury, like most English
women, had adored Ouida in her school
days, and she came down stairs and set
about the work of making the novelist
welcome. She was cut short In her
speech. however, by terse inquiry from
her visitor concerning the prime minister
"If he is at home, said the novelist. II
should be greatly obliged If you will
bring him down and will look at him. 1

away from London shortly / shall prob
ably never have another opportunity of

She seemed to regard the Marquis of
Salisbury as a sort Of prize pig to be ex-
hibited, and she talked about him in such
curious fashion that Lady Salisbury
went back TO his study and brought in
that exalted parsonage. Ouida looked at
him through her spectacles with the
same air OF examining prize exhibit
that was suggested in her talk, and finally
ended by expressing her approval OF the
premier.

informal way two nights later. and the

il had displeased her so much that she
had decided to have nothing TO do with
