Manure the cornerstone.

GIenry Snyder:) The cornerstone of sue
cessful horticulture is heavy fertilization,
or rather it is the entire foundation. No
one can hope for the fullest measure of
success until the soil is put in the highest
conditions. Mechanical preparation occu-
pies but third position, a full supply of
water taking second place. With green
house facilities to forward the season mot
forcing the planO and also 20 prolong
the life of later outside crops, there is no
reason, except Incidence or ignorance, for
failure to produce first-class crop
of almost anything that grows. Gardeners
are not supposed to be either ignorant or
law. vet many of the old dogmas and
maxims are erroneous. The man that blind
lv follows the instructions laid before him
is very ant to fail merely because condi-
tons are different. No gardener can
change positions or locations, and make
a perfect success the first year, especially
in the open ground. In the house, as soon
as he gets his own peculiar methods at
work, he is all right, but even here he has
much to unlcarn as well as learn. Inten-
sive gardening as well winter garden
ing of fruits and vegetables under glass,
is vet in its infancy but the day is not
far distant when both will take the head
of the class Trucking in the south has
produced one revolution in gardening, and
there is another coming by intensive and
'under glass" work. As a remedy to coun-
teract the effect of low prices, intensive
work offers an easy solution, as one or two
crops may actually be given away without
loss. while the third or fourth will pay
handsomely; in other words there are
from three to seven chances to one for
paying crop. This may sound strange to
some oId-fashioned gardeners, but 1t is
fect easily verified This "bit of expert
ence' will show the great advantage Of
having two or more crops, growing on the
same land.
For the past three years garden truck
has been bringing good prices on account
of shortage caused by drought. The reg
uIar gardeners made a little money, while
che farmers went behind.

B. F. NJ. asks if the citrus trifoliata is
handy in Southwest Georgia and is it a
proper plant to make hedge.
B. F. NJ. does not state precisely what
Kind Of a hedge he proposes TO make, but
we have no hesitation in advising him
to use the citrus trifoliata for any pur-
pose of a hedge. The trees are hardy
far above Middle Georgia, in fact as far
north as North Carolina or Tennessee
For any purpose this plant makes an ex-
ceIlent hedge if it is treated properly. The
only trouble is to get the plants or the
fresh seeds. If b. F. NJ. can get either
we would advise him to start right away
with his hedge. In a few years he can
grow enough seeds to make a hedge a
hundred miles long, and as soon as his
neighbours see the character of the hedge
made by the plant they will demand the
seeds for their own use.
If B. F. M can grow these seeds. and
they are easily enough grown, he will
make money from their sale. Some Flori-
da scotsman, and also few in Georgia
and elsewhere, have offered the seed for
sale lately, but we cannot say how many
have been sold.
We know of no plant betted adapted for
hedge purposes than the citrus trifoliata
and we would like to see it extensively
used, but there are but few who know
what superb hedge plant it is. 1t will
be appreciated after awhile, however We
have no hesitation in accommodating it
TO any one who would like to make a
hedge whether for ornamental or merely
practical purposes. Write to p. ]. Berck-
mans, Augusta, Ga, or H. G. Hastings,

Turn Under the Weeds as Well as
the Clover,

No section of the country has anv adj
vantage, over the south in its ability to
keep up the fertility of it's soil by the very
cheap and natural process of turning un-
der various vegetable crops from time to
time. For at least ten months in the year
something can be kept growing on all our
soils that have fertility enough in them to
grow anything. If our farmers had only
realized twenty, or even ten years ago that
it was possible for them to combine a ''fal.
low crop" with nearly every crop they
grew. 1 say, if they had realized it and
acted upon it, their lands would not have
been in the worn out condition that they
are to-day. This worn condition in nearly
every instance is owing to the exhaustion
of the humus from the soil, which, if re-
stored to the land, would fit it for produc-
ing profitable crops again, needing moth
ing further perhaps than a little potash
and phosphoric acid. Mineral elements
that are the least costly of manurial sub
stances.
No farm in the south, large or small,
should be run on any other plan than the
one that persistently gives a certain per
cent. of the acreage to grain-oats chiefly,
below the 80 degree of latitude; but in
some sections rye sharing a fair consid-
Grafton with oats.
Wheat is a crop that ceased some years
ago to warrant any attention on the south
ern farm except in circumscribed locali-
ties
But oats and rye-the one or the other
or both should claim a certain acreage
on every farm in Georgia-that is on ev-
cry farm where any attempt is made to
have cattle, hogs or sheep, If only few.
For twenty years we have advocated the
use of perennial grasses and the clovers
for providing the principal supply of stock
food. There is little profit to be found In
growing corn in the south, but the self
sustaining farm must grow a little of it.
The chief supply of grain necessary for
the work stock should come from oats,
which calls for a very little work to make
a crop (where sown in the fall on land
rich enough to make a, crop. AT least 20
per cent, if not 30, of the cultivated acre
age should be devoted to oats. BY cult
waited acreage, we mean all land that is
broken with the pillow once or oftener dur
ing the year,
The southern farmer that makes a full
use of the several varieties of clover that
is perfectly adapted to our climate and
soils will find very little use for peas as a
means of supplying humus but so long as
clover Is neglected peas must be used for
the purpose, but it is far less economical
than clover as can readily be shown.
Glover can be sown with the grain i'm
October and after the grain is cut off in
MAY or June the clover will grow off very
rapidly and soon take full possession of
the soil
