Not only is the fall the time for plant
ing out trees and shrubs. but some flowers
do better IL grown from fall sown seeds.
Most of the hardy perennials are OF this
variety, And those hardy perennials are
coming to be appreciated more and more
every year as their variety and profusion
of bloom becomes better known. No other
flowers at such a minimum of cost and
labor give so maximum a return i'm beauty
and blossoms. A few cents invested in
packages of seeds and some slight care
from year to year after the plants are
once started and you can have q wealth
of flowers from May until October
To begin with there are all the beautl-
full varities of hardy pinks the dianthus,
the picots, etc. Then there are the pretty
little English daisies, the graceful tower
ing delphimnus and the richly colored
galordias and host OF others, listed in
every catalogue

But they are every body's flowers; grow

themselves TO our affections and assocla-

Viking several Varieti.s.

The trucker or market gardener in grow
ing vegetables for market viii find it adj
vantageous in a number of cases to mix
several kinds together in the same drill
A larger and surer crop is generally made
by following this plan especially with tur-
nips, beets, carrots, English peas, cucum-
bers and squashes. If three kinds are not
so mixed, there should be two. In turnips
a much larger crop of roots are made by
mixing Flat Dutch, Cowhorn and Yellow
Aberdeen in equal parts than if there was
only one kind used. The seeds should be
Well-miXed together. The land should be
made rich and the seeds sown evenly along
and not thinned too much. The same
should be observed with all root crops. In
English peas there should be a mixture
OF an early kind, a medium and a late.
Even in using the dwarfs, it is well to mix
Two or three kinds like Tom Thumb, Lit
lie Gem, and American Wonder. The
same rule will apply to cucumbers and
squashes in a less degree OF course, this
pan Will not do where one wants to SOW
seed and have it pure. In that case each
KIND must be kept separate. The aver
age trucker, or gardener, does not find it
desirable to grow his own seeds for an
olher year except in the case of a few
pants such as tomato, eggplant, pepper,
auu' perhaps, one or two others. These
ne should sow and save pure as far as he
can but the larger number of seeds he

Agricultural Bulletin: The animal
and vegetable substance in the
soil in varying degree of decay or de-
composition are collectively spoken Of as
humus, or organic matter. These sub
stances when they reach the proper stage
of decay, unite, chemically with the pot
ash, phosphoric acid and lime of the SOIL
forming compounds called humates
Humus has been found to be valuable in
the following ways:
/. 1t absorbs or fixes nitrogen. thus
preventing the loss of this the most val
liable OF all fertilizing elements.
2 1t absorbs water, thus enabling the
soil to better withstand droughts.
g. 1t renders potash and phosphoric
acid soluble, so that they can be taken
into the sap of plants through the roots.
For these reasons farm manures pos
sess an advantage and value over and
above the market price of the nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid they contain.
Their bulk is mostly humus, a valuable
material which exists in very small guam
titles in commercial fertilizers For the
same reason clover. peas and other green
crops-eVen weeds-turned under are
largely beneficial to land aside from the
nitrogen they have gathered from the
air and the phosphoric acid and potash
their long roots may have brought up from
the subsoil. Investigations at the Mime
sofa Station proves the following inter
esting and valuable facts relating to
humus: Farm manure, green clover,
blood, fish, tankage, cotton seed, etc, pro-
duce humus rich in nitrogen, while oats
straw, sawdust and carbohydrates form
humus poor in nitrogen but rich in car
bon. and the nitrogenous humus more
readily unites with the potash and phos-
phoric acid of the soil to form humates
than does carbonaceous humus. The
hurnus of the virgin soils is much richer
Ia nitrogen and humates than the humus
of soils that have been cropped for years.

TO turn sheep on the field to eat off and
utilize the tops. By a system of movable
hurdles, the tops may be thus pastured to
the benefit of both the land and the sheen.
Inls suggestion is recommended for con.
slderation by the sheep men of the coast
counties, where il is now recognized that
some provision for winter feed would add
largely to the profita bleness of the sheep
industry
Turnips are among the hardest vege-
tables IN their ability to withstand cod
and are seldom injured by the winters of
Central and Southern Alabama. Some
kinds resist freezing temperatures better
than others. Last year the experiment
station planted forty varieties in order to
test their comparative hardness. The
winter proved to be an average one. the
lowest point indicated by a self-register-
ing Thermometer being IA degrees above
zero. None of the varieties were iniur-
ed enough to entirely destroy their feeding
value. Those which grew on or near the
top OF the ground soon became flabby and
unit for table use and were fed to stock
Those varieties having long. deep roots
growing well under ground proved best
AS the above, from the Alabama expert
ment station, states, the turnip is a val
liable crop, in the South especially but it
rs not appreciated as it should be- We
have found also that the Purple and White
Milan are superior kinds for spring SOW
ing. These differ only in color. Young
turnips in the spring make no mean table

Foot Rot in sheen.

Now that there is revival in
the sheep growing industry, word
of caution may be needed against
trying to grow sheep on low or wet land,
says the American Agricuturist. The
natural habitat of the sheep is on high
and often rocky lands. BY contact with
rocks and stones the hoofs of sheep are
naturally pruned. When they are kept
on low. wet ground the hoof grows long,
and being very little sensitive, it is cas-
lily softened until it begins 10 rot. There
can be no doubt that this is caused by
some germ, for rubbing the hoof with blue
vitriol which is one of the best germ kill
ers, win destroy it. But the germ seems
to be indigenous to all wet lands where
sheep are kept, and 1t is the worst Of
lection with which sheep can be afflicted.
When 1t once gets into a flock ii can be
carried TO land that is high and dry, and
will propagate there.

A Higher Education Needed.

Department of Agriculture has a notion
that a farmer should be as learned in the
science of agriculture as lawyer in the
science of law or a doctor in medicine, and
the fact that boy is going TO be a farmer
is the very reason why ne should have the
advantage of a college training instead of
a reason why he should not. 1t is his
theory that the race problem in the south
can only be solved by industrial education.
He sees no career for negroes in the learn
ed professions and believes that the only
field for their progress and prosperity is
offered by the trades and agriculture
Therefore. he is greatly interested in the
industrial school WHICH Booker Washing
ton has founded at Tuskegee for the edu-
cation of colored boys in farming and the
mechanical arts

Any fool can destroy trees, says the At
lantic Monthly They cannot run away
and if they could they would still be de-
stroyed-chased and hunted down as long
as fun or a dollar could be got out of their
bark hides, branching horns or magnificent
bole backbones. Few that fell trees plant
them; nor would planting avail much to-
wards getting back anything like the noble
primeval forests. During mans life
only saplngs can be grown in the place of
old trees-ten centuries old--that have
been destroyed. 1t took more than 5000
years to make some of the trees in these
Western woods-trees that are still stand
ing in perfect strength and beauty, wav-
ing and singing in the mighty forests of
the Sierra. Through all the wonderful
eventful centuries since Christs time-and
long before that-God has cared for these
trees. saved them from drouth, disease
avalanches and a thousand training, lev
cling tempests and floods; but He cannot
save them from fools-only Uncle Sam
can do that.
