Improving Soils.

A bulletin from the Rhode Island sta
ton makes it appear that the actual
composition of soils is of less Importance
than their physical condition. For ex-
ample, several soils were analysed and
found to contain more than the average
amounts Of potash and phosphoric acid.
Yet good crops were impossible unless
these substances were applied. Two ex-
plantations are given for this. The soil
may be naturally rich, yet so hard and
compact that the roots of plants are re-
stricted in their movements and cannot
reach and assimilate enough plant food.
Again, some soils are SO damp and full
of acid as to be Sour, i" and in this con-
dition plants cannot thrive The first
trouble may be greatly improved by
thorough tillage, the mellowing and
f1ning of the soil giving the plants a
better chance to put out their roots. The
"sourness" may be corrected by drain
age and the use of quicklime

W. W. Rowson & Co. of Arlington,
Mass, has one house so by $50 feet,
which covers more than one-third of an
acre of ground, and several nearly as
large The Buildings of Providence have
one house 80 by 1oo'feet, and several
others, besides about three miles of hot
beds. There are numbers Of other estab-
hshments near these and other towns
that are nearly as large. Houses 80 by
200, 80 by 800 are very common. Both
houses and beds during January are de-
voted mostly to lettuce, which is fol-
lowed in February, March or April with
cucumbers. Thirty feet is the most ap-
proved width, and the three-quarter
span, or something near it. seems to be
preferred-that is, the roof slopes both
to the north and south, with the long
slope to the south. Very satisfactory
houses are those that measure 35 feet in
width and SO feet in length, with caves
ON the south side, three feet from the
ground, and on the north side five feet
At the highest point the roof is ten feet
from the ground. Three and sometimes
four crops of lettuce are grown in these
houses, followed by cucumbers

POTATOES. FROM SPROUTS.
Opinions Expressed by Well Known Seeds
men as to Their Value For Seed.

men as to Their Value For Seed.
Tho question, Can potatoes propagat-
ed under glass by means of the sprout.
ing method be relied upon for seed? was
answered by several eastern seedsmen
in tho columns of The Rural New York
e.. w W. Rawson Of Boston replied
that seed potatoes grown by this method
arc not as vigorous as the field grown
seed.
Peter Henderson &c Co., New York,
writes: We have never conducted a
comparative test between potatoes grown
under ordinary field culture and those
propagated by the sprouting method and
then transplanting the spouts when root
ed, to see which product gave the most
vigorous plants and the greatest yield.
But we have grown new varieties when
we had only two or three tubers to start
from by sprouting method-i. g., we
sprouted them under heat exactly as we
would dahlia roots, and rooted the cut
tings and transplanted these in the open
ground. We have found potatoes grown
in this way to produce fine, large speci-
mems, although not many to the hill,
and from the appearance of the tubers
we would say that they are likely TO
produce as vigorous plants as potatoes
grown in the ordinary way.
W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia,
replied: So far as our experience goes
we do not regard seed potatoes propa-
gated by means of the sprouting meth
cd as SO vigorous or so reliable as those
grown from seed pieces under ordinary
conditions of field culture We think
there is a noticeable deterioration where
the former method is continued through
several successive generations. The ten
dency to reversion may be slight in the
first generation, but we have never seen
crop grown from sprouts or by divid-
ing the eyes that would compare with
one grown from pieces cut to one Wig
orons eye.
George W. Jerrard of Maine said: II
the crop grown from the forced sets be
given normal conditions during the time
the tubers are developing and maturing
SO that they are matured in a healthy
condition, I would consider them all
right for seed purposes. If they develop
ed and matured under the forced condi- |
ton, I would doubt their good quality
for seed.

COST OF POTASH FOR CORN
The Most Profitable Form In Which to
Apply This Essential Fertilizer.

The Most Profitable Form In Which to
Apply This Essential Fertilizer.
The commercial value of any fertilizer
Ingredient is not always the true stand
ard Of its value on any particular crop
1t is well known that the corn crop
needs liberal supplies Of nitrogen, phos-
phorio acid and potash, but since corn
grows through the whole hot season,
when nitriication is most active in the
soil, particularly when, as should al
ways be the case, a sod is buried for the
corn, the artificial application Of nitro
gen is seldom profitable in this crop at
it's commercial valuation, while potash
in some form is always profitable, par
ticularly ON sandy soils near the sea-
coast, either north or south.
1t is interesting then to consider what
is the most profitable form in which to
apply this essential fertilizer to the corn
crop. The profit Of using potash on corn
has been we'll shown at various agri-
cultural experiment stations In New
Jersey an application of potash gave an
increase of 80 bushels per acre, or dou-
bled the crop, having an especially ex-
cellent effect, too, upon the increase OF
fodder OF slower, much more, in fact, than
upon the grain. The Massachusetts sta
ton found that potash fertilization gave
an average increase of II. 3 bushels OF
corn and 1908 pounds of fodder. The
Kentucky station found that potash not
only gave a profitable increase in the
corn crop, but benefited the crops in
years succeeding its application to the
corn.
The West Virginia station made an
interesting series of experiments to
show the value Of the different forms of
potash on corn. with the following re-
suits: They found that the averaged in
creased yield produced by pound of
potash in the form of kainit was 81. 33
pounds per acre, in the form of sulphate
of potash 25.74 pounds and i'll the
form of muriate of potash 5.91 pounds.
The average cost of kainit to produce a
bushel Of corn was 9.06 cents, of sui
phate of potash 16. 80 cents and of mu-
rate of potash 10. 35 cents.
This result is of great Importance to
all who use potash on the corn crop, but
it will not do to assume that the same
results will be obtained with other
crops, explains w. F. Massey in let
ter to Country Gentleman. Potatoes,
says he, for instance, require large
quantities of potash, and in getting it
in the form of kainit there would be
danger of getting too much chloride of
Soda With this crop the muriate has
always given the largest yield, and the
sulphate usually the best quality.

Corn For Food.

A man who keeps only Hamburgs and
Leghorns gives the following method
CT feeding: The birds are fed in the
morning "a warm mash consisting Of
equal parts wheat bran, middlings and
cornmeal. At noon they are given lit
tie corn and again at night all they will
eat. They have access to the horse and
cow stables and find variety of food
by roaming around large barnyard.
From 100 hens about 20 dozen eggs per
week is obtained on an average. The
feed costs about SO per week for the
flock, which leaves a good profit.
