Nitrogen In Cottonseed Meal.

The Connecticut station experiments
have demonstrated that the nitrogen in
cottonseed meal and linseed meal is
fully as available as that in dried blood
and more so than i'll tankage Nitrate
of soda and cottonseed meal will give
the desired combination of mineral and
organic nitrogen at least cost
The more Intelligent farmers seem to
understand this, for immense quantities
of cottonseed meal have been used in
bone mixtures this year. The bright
yellow meal should always be used.
The dark, unhulled meal is costly at any
price at which it is now offered. In es-
timating the cost of potash III the same
way it has been found that muriate is
by far the cheapest source, in some
large let's falling below cents pound

Protection From Early Frost.

In districts in Japan where fruits
and vegetables are liable to suffer from
early spring frosts-or, to speak mete-
oroloQically, late spring frosts-thoy
carefully preserve all the prunings of
their trees and make heaps of them in
various outlying portions of the or
chards. When the frost likely to do injury
is imminent, they start one of these
brush fires in the direction from which
the wind comes. They only make fire
enough to make a smoke, as explained
i'll Meehan's Monthly. 10 make fire
has tendency to bring the cold into
the orchard rather than to keep it out.
Heat rareties or lightens the atmosphere,
and the cold or heavier air presses for
ward unto the vacuum made by the
heat expanded. They depend on the
smoke and not the heat for protection.
