Green MnnnrInr-

Green manuringy ior the blowing under
of green crops, is the cheapest and most
effective method for building up poor
SOILS, and for maintaining the fertility OF
those already in good condition, says a
bulletin of the Mississippi station 1t
furnishes the necessary humus, it leaves
supplies Of potash and phosphoric acid
in the surface soil where they are imme-
diately available for future crops, and
when leguminous crops are used, large
amounts of nitrogen are assimilated
from the air and made ready for other
crops to use. On heavy soils its mechan-
ical effects are very marked not only IN
ed by the pillow, but also by loosening the
subsoil deeply and so making it per-
meable to the roots OF other crops.
Green manuring is to fertilizing what
grazing is to raising cattle. Crops can
be grown by the use of stable manure,
cotton seed and chemicals, and cattle
can be grown on diet of dry hay and
grain but neither is the most economical
plan to be pursued permanently. In Mis-
sissippi we are fortunate IN having a
large number OF plants which can be used
for this purpose. some of which are per-
ennials like alfalfa and red clover, others
like melilOtus are bennials and do their
work IN two seasons, while others still,
like lespedeza and COW peas, are ANNALS.
Netches and rye can be grown in two
months Of summer weather There is no
time in the year when il is not possible to
have restorative crops growing which
will go far toward preparing the ground
for succeeding CROPS.

Early Maturity for Hogs.-There is not
so much call now for hogs that will keep
on growing three or four years before they
reach maturity. The large hog has always
coarser meat than the young pig, and the
difference, we Suspect, is because there is
always some check to growth in cold
weather Spring pigs, fattened in fall
will always make better pork than they
will II kept later. In these times, too, the
higher price per hundredweight than one
that Is heavier. Hence the early-matur-
ing breeds that reach their full weight
when one to two years old are now the
favortes with farmers. But there Is some
thing to be said in favor of heavy weights.

Most of the orange growers have sold
their crops of oranges on the trees at
$l.25 to S1.50. The grape fruit crop is not

Crimson clover will do wen on sandy soil
if the soil is rich enough. and the seeds
are put in properly at the proper time.
1t is a most excellent clover for southern
use having some advantages over the
Bur- clover even. For the past three
years we have been urging our farmers to
give it a fair trial. 1t is quite possible that
it will not prove the best for some. Grim
son clover should be sown in the fall and
early enough to allow of its getting good
hold on the soil before severe weather
occurs. 1t is hardly possible to put IN
clover or grass properly without the use
of a harrow and roller. A drag wall do very
well, however. In fall sowing or sandy a
light soil il is desirable that the soil be
firmed and this can be done satisfactorily
only with the roller.
A stand may be secured with less, but
we would advise the use of 20 pounds OF
seeds. You can procure them from any
first-class scotsman at from D 20 cents
