EARLY FALL FLOWING.
Its Advantages Considered from =
Scientific Viewpoint.

The advantages OF fall blowing over
the same operation in the spring are
dwelt upon by Prof. IL. Snyder. of the
College of Agriculture of the University
OF Minnesota.
Fall blowing keeps the humus and
nitrogen of tho soil in better condition
than late spring blowing. Nitrihca-
ton goes on In the soil until quite late
In the fall. and In the south the process
goes on the entire year. The change is
most rapid near the surface, where
there is plenty of oxygen from the air.
In early fall blowing the available nj
trogen formed from the humus is near
the surface, where il does the sprouting
seeds and the young crops the most
good. With late spring blowing. this
available nitrogen is plowed under, and
inert organic nitrogen is brought TO the
surface.
In old soils the process OF nitrification
does not go on rapidly enough 10 fur
nish available nitrogen 10 the crop. In
new soil the process OF nitrification Is
liable to go on too rapidly. Deep plow-
ing and thorough cultivation aid in
nitrihcation. Hence. the longer the soil
is cultivated. the deeper and more thor
ough must be its preparation. Flowing
must be done at the right time, prefer
ably in the fall so as not 10 interfere
with the next years water supply. The
application OF lime and wood ashes aids
in the reduction Of nitrogen OF humus TO
available forms, and prevents the forma-
ton of sour mold. Good drainage is
also necessary to nitrification in the soil.
In water-logged soils the humus does
not decompose normally, but peat is
produced on account of the absence OF
oxygen. We thus see that nitriication,
although sometimes a serious source Of
loss may be largely controlled by care
full management OF the soil.

proycnfent In the flavor OF meats can
be produced by feeding certain foods, Is
not so well understood. The sweetest
and best-hayored beef we ever ate was
mainly fattened on pumpkins and Hub
bard squash, in season when both
were very plentiful and almost unsnl-
able. They were fed 10 fattening cows,
without grain. the sugar IN the Hubbard
squash supplying the place Of starch.
We have heard that the bagasse from
sugar cane, after most OF its sweet has
been extracted, makes an excellent
quality OF beef when il Is fed TO fatten-
ing cattle. Undoubtedly the same re-
suit comes from feeding rich corn en-
silagc. made from corn put in silo when
IL was In the caring stage. IL is not
merely the succulence OF this feed, but
also the fact that 1, contains sugar,
which Is much more digestiblc than

FARM AND GARDEN.
LASTING PROSPERITY.
what Farmers Must DO 10 Enjoy Its
Cnvcied nIeaainEn.


Coveted blessings.
The press of the country is full of
talk about the prosperity of the farmer
this year, and many figures are given to
show what an increased harvest OF dol
lars our farmers will reap. While there
Ia much exaggeration in many of these
statements, there is much truth also.
Farming is a better business than 1t
has been. Good crops and fair prices
for them Mt the elevator or through
the feed lot have put our farmers in
better position than since 1891. Still
there is room for improvement-not
merely In the markets, but in the con-
ditions that surround farming and
farmers, and which directly affect their
profits. There Is room for improve
ment in production OF many farms,
looking 20 less costly and bet
ter product. There is great need Of
| improvement In live stock, both in num-
bers and quality. Such things as these
come within the jurisdiction of every
farmer. But other equally important es-
sentials TO greater prosperity lie beyond
the farm and beyond the farmer asani in
/ ulNluudls
prevail when many of the things the
| people must have are controlled by com
mercial monopolies or trusts. Some
classes may receive incidental benefits
from these organizations, but farmers
do not. They must sell in the open mar
ket usually, and can i'll afford 10 buy in
a market that is not open. Allowing the
other fellow TO fix the price OF so many
things is not productive of the greatest
prosperity The same thing is, 10 a
large extent, true OF taxation. Too
often farmers have allowed other classes
10 impose the burdens which call for
high taxes on farms, while the other
fellow reaped most OF the benefits there
from. There must be more caution
about this, IL farmers are 10 realize the
greatest prosperity. And there are other
