Cnuaea of Poor Soil.

Years ago the conclusion was jumped
at that poverty of n soil, judging by
the product of crop, was due to de-
ficiency Of some element in it, but we
learn from analyses that ordinary soils
contain large amounts of all needed
minerals. The question is not one OF
quantity of the elements, as rule, but
of their availability for use by grow.
ing plants. Here science fails. Anal.
ysis can not determine what kind OF
plant.food, nor what quantity, will
give returns when applied to any given
soil. We are left at sea in this mat
ter. A soil may be unproductive be-
cause it needs available mineral plant
food, or because it needs organic mat
ter in it, or for any one Of several rea.
sons. Once for all, until science makes
an advance along this line we must
be content to experiment and study
the results Money paid for soil anal

N.,d Of Planting Mixed orchards.

Exhaustive experiments conducted
by the department Of agriculture show
the necessity of cross-pollination in
most orchards. The net result OF
long, careful and costly experiments
by the department is summoned up in
the following practical conclusions;
/. Plant mixed orchards, or at least
avoid planting solid blocks of one va
riety. 1t is not desirable to have more
than three or four rows of one variety
together, unless experience has shown
it to be perfectly self-fertile.
2. Where large blocks of trees of one
variety which blossomed well have
failed to fruit for series of years
without any apparent reason, it is ex-
ceedingly probable that the failure is
due to lack of cross-pollination. The
remedy is to graft in other varieties
and supply foreign pollen.
8. Be sure that there are sufficient
bees in the neighborhood, or within
two or three miles, to properly visit
the blossoms. When feasible, en-
deavor to favor insect visits to the
blossoms by selecting sheltered situa
tions, or by planting wind-breaks.

Whenever horse is compelled to
wait for his feed he begins to fret,
and this means a certain loss OF flesh;
therefore always be punctual ut the

Usually the best profits from the
farm can be derived by growing va.

then feeding them out to stock on the
farm and marketing the same.

and scientific vagaries given rs "sins
qua nons' of success doubtless would
have found perplexity, confusion and
defeat. Hence / feel like saying o
word for the comfort and encour-
aeement of beginners on the sub,
iect of hog feeding. You do not need
to put your hogs in carpeted perlor
with milk aud mush TO be followed by
n royal desert for each meal. Don't
you remember when they penned 40 or
so razor backs and emptisd few
baskets of corn to them twice day,
and how those hogs of the past piled
on the fat and made themselves ready
for the slaughter? But do you say they
were razor backs? That's true, but
they were hogs. They were grown
and fattened on corn. And the corn
that fattens razor back will fatten
Berkshire and make out OF him
more hog, more ham, more fat.
These thoughts are suggested by
the discussions of the subject OF food
for hogs at the late meeting OF the
Swine Breeders association at Fort
Worth. Doubtless all the articles
of food recommended are good, but
such stress is laid upon one and
another by different breeders that the
uninitiated are scared off, the novice

the mossback Ho1.ishes his trumpet
over the razor back, because the hne
breeds are so .fastidious in their make
up. Now, my point is, let those who
wish feed COOLERS, bran, sorghum, po'
tatoes and whatsoever they will, but
tell it aloud that corn, old-fashioned
Indian corn, will raise and fatten
, hogs, fine hogs, the very finest. But
does some one suggest I'VE are trying

Tho Time to Apply Them Must be Gov
erned by circumstances.
Failures with manures, either farm
ward or chemical, are often due toa
mistaken idea as TO the proper time 10
use them. Some forms OF manures
act quickly as, for example, nitrate OF
soda or thoroughly rotted compost
As general rule some time must pass
before the forces in the soil cnn act
ON the manures and change them into
forms 1T for plant food. III a
soil contains an abundance Oh
ammonia for plant food, but
not enough potash or phosphoric
acid, the ammonia will be taken up
rapidly; rank growth of foliage may
result. but before maturity the supply
of ammonia is exhausted and there Is
none left to finish the work. Ii the
supply of potash and phosphoric acia
in active shape is not present In suf-
ficient quantities, not only VIII the
plant fail to mature, but in the case OF
forage plants the hay or fodder VIII
be nearly useless rs stock food on
the other hand, II the ammonia Is
slow in coming into use, the carrier
stages of growth will be starved and
the more abundant supply later on
will come too late.
Potash and phosphoric acid are
rarely so freely available as ammonia
but they are quite as necessary Tor a
useful plant growth. A plant can not
use use these two mineral manures IN
the form in which they are applied at
the time of planting. If dry time
should come Immediately after the
planting these minerals in the crude
state are almost useless. The same II
true of farmyard manure.
Potash and phosphoric acid may bt
applied several weeks before seeding
time, as they will lose little or nothing
by drainage, etc. This is not true o
notrate of soda or even quickly
available tankage. Both these form
of ammonia may suffer loss from drain
age by decomposition in the SOIL l
, is a good plan to apply the mineral
some time before planting, and tn
ammonia ut the time the soil is finall
put in shape for seeding. Even II CON
4 plcte manures are used, they shout
! be applied some time before planting
\ The chances of loss are much grea'
1 er from not having the manure
j. proper shape, than from any DANCE

Lime undoubtedly quickens tn
