Purchasing Plant Food.

There are periods when it pays the
farmer to buy concentrated foods, even
when he has suficiency of grain. as
he will increase the fertility Of bis soil
by an exchange. This may be dem on
strated by selling corn aud buying bran
or cottonseed meal. Apparently it may
be useless for the farmer to buy bran
when he has an abundance of grain, but
as bran contains four times as much
mineral matter as corn, (phosphates,
potash, etc., the farmer gains by the
transaction, as he enriches his soil but
little from the corn as compared with
the bran, and for that reason all foods
should be estimated partly for their val
ne after passing through the animals. -
A farm may be productive, but will
surely fail in mineral matter at some
time unless the owner brings upon it
substances which can replace that which
is sold in the milk, eggs, hay, grain
and other products shipped to market.
Such substances as wool take from the
farm in concentrated form more value
in the shape of plant food than large
bulk of straw, and the sales of coucen-
trated substances from the farm may be
constant. 1t is necessary, therefore to
have the materials Of the manure heap
composed of the most valuable fertilizing
elements, and to protect the manure
from exposure in winter. 1t will also
prove profitable to purchase a certain
quantity of fertilizer every year, no
matter how much barnyard manure may
have been accumulated.

Kerosene Emulsion.

The standard kerosene emulsion is
prepared by dissolving one-half pound
of common hard soap in one gallon Of
boiling water. Remove the soap solu
ton IRON the FIRE while yet boiling and
add two gallons Of kerosene, emulsify-
ing the mixture by passing it through
force pump with spray nozzle back
into the same vessel, until it assumes
the appearance of thick cream and oil
does not rise TO the surface. For use
against the common scale insects aud
others during the growing season, the
standard emulsion, above given, is d.
luted, one part to ten Of water-for
some plant lice one part Of the emulsion
to 20 of water is sufficient. The degree
Of dilution may best be ascertained by
experimenting on q small scale on the
insects and the foliage to be sprayed -
For use on animals one part Of the
emulsion to eight or ten parts of water
is recommended. Kerosene emulsion
is contact insectitide, and in treating
either infested plants or animals it must
be borne in mind that only those insects
hit by the preparation will be killed -
The best method is to apply thoroughly
to all infested parts with spray pump,
usually; the 6ner the spray, the more
effective the treatment.

Winter Care Of Land.


During the fall and winter the soil
loses portions of its plant food, due tc
teaching by rains and melting SHOWS,
as we'll MS by chemical action Of the
constituent elements, which are changed
from a soluble to an insoluble condition
The action of mineral fertilizers on bare
soils is also sometimes injurious, as, for
instance, when lime is applied, the re-
suit being that the lime induces some
changes in the soil which render solu-
BILE certain substances. Il is to the in
terest of the farmer, therefore, to grow
some kind Of crop that will cover the
ground in winter. Wheat, rye and
crimson clover are beneficial to the soil
to the extent to which they serve to
cover the surface, and it is even better
to leave the stubble on fields than TO
pillow the land in the fall without seed
ing down to crop. This is the month
when crimson clover should be sown
Whether it proves Of value in the spring
or not it will be useful on the land, and
especially if lime is applied. Later on
rye may be seeded if wheat is not de.
sired. The object should be to cover
the land as protection from loss, as the
roots of the plants serve to arrest the
waste Of plant food. Instances are
known of COW peas being sown broad
cast as late as August, they making rapid
growth until the appearance Of frost,
being then rolled down with land
roller, to remain until spring, when
they can be plowed under as prepara-
tory crop for corn. One of the best
winter coverings is heavy crop of tur-
nips, the seed broadcasted and the crop
plowed under in the spring

After corn has filed out it may be Of
advantage TO allow sheep to forage in
the field, Reports from farmers who
have tried the plan are that sheep clean
out the weeds better than cultivation
Sheep prefer short grass or weeds and
will not damage the crop il there is
plenty Of material close to the ground
aud as they consume many undesirable
weeds and grasses will benefit the land
aud rid the farmer of labor.
