Th0rnless Cactus For Arid Regions.
Another forage plant Of promise for

15 tons per acre being often reported.
The pads contain only from 5 to 10 per

Durying Roots.

But few farmers have storage roo
for keeping their roots and vegetables
beyond the reach OF frost. FrOstproOf
easements and caves are beyond the
reach Of many. To those 1t Is neces.
sary to bury OF pit everything they
wish to keep. Where there ID any
quantity to bury we have used the
trench. and found It the easiest to bury
in and to get ut when any quantity OF
the roots are wanted, writes q Kansas
correspondent to the Ohio Farmer. W.
first plowed four deep burrows In q
handy and well drained place and
threw out the loosened dirt, leaving a
trench about FIVE feet wide and from
eight inches to a foot In depth. Then
the roots were put In, bringing them
up to a we'll rounded top. Over these
we put a covering Of clean straw or
hay and over this a thin covering OF
soil, enough to keep the early frosts
from injuring the roots and to turn the
lnin. It is not best to cover too much
IN the fore part Of the season. as the
roots are liable to heat. Some sort OF
ventilation ID necessary. Twisted
wisps Of hay reaching from the roots
through the soil covering at intervals
Of n few feet along the crest will prove
sufficient. As the colder weather
comes on more protecting soil can be
thrown on.
1t is well where possible to make
the trenches running north and south.
BY beginning Mt the south end when
opening there will be little danger
from freezing.

Those who have had most experience
with this crop find that the best way
to handle 1t Is to cut or pull the plants

way the coarse stalks are SO broken In

Potash, actual, ....7 to 8 Per Cen

The Ammonia is derived entirely from fine
ground seamdried Fish Scrap and Nitrate OF Soda
These materials combined, furnish the most active
and valuable form Of Nitrogen for tomatoes. The
Potash is derived from the highest grade source and
is given IN stronger percentage than for any other
crops excepting potatoes and tobacco. This partic-
ular formula was strongly recommended by one of
the state experiment stations, and was used with
great success by the late Samuel H. Miller who
raised fine fruit and commanded ready market for
all he packed. Messrs. Stanley Bros, of Elk Neck
to whom we refer by permission, and who have had
very great success IN growing tomatoes with this
fertilizer, used fourteen tons last spring.

Special Tomato Fertilizer, the only difference being
1t is lower in Ammonia by one per cent, the other
elements being guaranteed the same. Farmers who
expect to plant tomatoes and to secure a profitable
crop, will certainly have much better prospects if
they use such goods we have described These
brands are made expressly for tomatoes and have
been used with the greatest success in the tomato
growing district of Hartford County and right here at
home. The percentages guaranteed are not only in
accordance with the recommendations of the best
authorities we have, but the actual formula or ma
terals used, are those that have proved in many ex
perments and in actual field cultivation far superior

TOMATO FERTILIZER.

Under the above heading the indianapolis
NezvS says: The members of the Indiana State
Gamers Association, together with number of
farmers and gardeners interested in the growing of
tomatoes Tor packing purposes, listened to a paper
by Professor II. A. Huston, of Purdue University
on "Sols and Fertilizers in Connection with Tomato
Growing
Among other things, the Professor said that the
experimental station at Purdue had made number
OF experiments in the fertilizers in tomato
growing, and had obtained some valuable results
One of the important considerations in the use of
fertilizers, aside from the increase in the product
was the increase in the tirmness of the tomato.
Professor Huston said that a special fertilizer
should be used on tomatoes and should be COM
posed OF Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash,
the amount of Potash should be nearly twice that of
the Nitrogen, and six times the amount of Phos-
phoric Acid. In grain crops the OF this rule
is true. This fertilizer for tomatoes should be used
freely, and strong and vigorous growth cultivated
from the start. The experiments showed that by
the use of this fertilizer, the crop had been doubled
and the profits increased three times, on account Of
the better quality of the fruit

In connection with the above we would say,
that extensive experiments with fertilizers in grow
ing tomatoes have been made by the Maryland
Agricultural College and at other experiment sta
tons. The results have uniformly demonstrated
that large crop OF firm fruit came from the ferti-
llzer testing high in Nitrogen and higher still in
Potash in connection with fair percentage of Phos-
phoric Acid, which is found in every com lete fert-
lizer. Our Special Tomato Fertilizer is guaranteed
to test
