Nitrate of Soda or Cotton Seed Meal
for Top Dressing Oats.

A correspondent asks If cotton seed
meal is not as good to top dresstoats with
as nitrate of soda His question is: Would
not 81 worth of the meal supply more Ter
tility than 81 worth of the nitrate?
We do not know what price j. f. will
have to pay for the two materials.
Even though the price was somewhat in
favor of the meal, we would prefer to use
the nitrate of soda for this reason. The
meal spread on the surface is, If the land
is at all rolling, liable to be washed off
by heavy rains. 1t is necessary too, for
the meal to become decomposed (rotted)
before its nitrogen (ammonia) is made
available for use. It's action is therefore
not so prompt as the nitrate of soda. The
latter if of first quality has something
more than twice as much nitrogen as first
onaiity meal. The Verv first rain, how
ever Slight, dissolve the soda salt, and
the soil absorbs it at once and thus pre-
cludes the possibility of any waste. 1t
should not be applied until the grain has
thrown out roots abundantly so as to take
UP the nitrogen. If cotton seed meal is
used a harrow should be run over the land
SO as to break the crust and cover, if only
partially, the meal.
If convenient, test this question on adj
joining plats, and let US have the results.

Farmer There are directions and sug-

ice, fine cows and tame grasses, as in the
more northern states, good butter ought
always to be found in market In many
parts of the south, however, good butter
is said to be the exception rather than
the rule, but we think good butter can be
made in the south, though there are diff
culties to contend with, an article that
will compare very faVorably with that
made in the north. Here on the prairies,
cellars have to be built above ground. and
IL is a difficult matter to keep milk at a
