Study the Soil.

For the economical application Of fer
tilizers it is necessary to make some thing
of a study of the soil Clay soils as u
are likely to need either nitrogen or phos-
phoric acid and are usually benefited by
both. Complete fertilizers should not be
applied by the farmer without reservG-
ton. They are only complete as they
meet the requirements of his soil. On
clay soils bone meal is usually a very
effective fertilizers. 1t supplies phosphor-
ic acid and potash and also lime, which
usually exerts a beneficial mechanical eff
feet on clay. Acid phosphates or South
Carolina rock acts in the same way ex-
cept that it contains no nitrogen. The
average sandy soil is always deficient in
ell of the three principal fertiliziug con-
stituents. 1t is not ony necessary to sup
ply the soil therefore with nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash, but organic mat

BY a systematic method of rotation and
pasturage, together with the use OF COM
mercial fertilizers. sandy soils can be
brought to the highest state of produce
tiveness. In the determination of what

must be his own guide-he must make his
field experiments and profit by them from
year to year. Field experiments conduct
ed in his same locality but on a heavy
black soil, whereas his might be a light
sandy soil, would be of little or no benefit
to him. In a general way sandy soils are
leachy and non-enduring, while clay soils
are of an enduring fertility, mainly be-
cause they do not wash excessively nor
allow the water to leach from them the
plant foods which they contain.

Fail-Sown Spinach.-Another fall crop
which viii soon claim attention is spinach,
which, from its hardness. is very valuable
in early winter and in early spring. It
belongs to the beet family and calls fer
similar treatment. AS stated elsewhere,
all winter crops require the stimulus of
very high manuring, the manure to he SOL
uhle and easily assimulated Spinach Will
give no satisfaction on poor land Except
IN soils Astounding in lime, a dressing of
this substance should be given when pre-
pairing the land for spinach. The beet fam
iiy is particularly benefited by lime. Gen
orally The lining. of land is best done by
spreading il on the surface ana allowing
it TO work its way down into the soil,
which it has a tendency TO do. But for
crop, a spinach. which must utilize the
food given it very quickly, il is better 10
work the lime into the soil at once. Spin

whose leaves are the parts to be eaten.
calls for liberal manurngs of potash and
nitrogen, and moderate ones of phospha ties.
Where the seed is the thing for which a
plant is grown, heavy applications of phos-
pilates are always in order. Some Of ii is
beneficial for every kind of plant, for
plants cannot make any growth without
il. A seeding, after utilizing the phosphate
which was laid up for it in the seed, will
stop growth or die if additional phosphate
is not given it. AS rapid growth of spin
ach is desirable the land for it should be
thoroughly prepared and brought into fin
est tilth. so that roots may spread rapidly
and forage successfully. For a similar
reason the crop should be cultivated very
rapidly and very thoroughly. The hard
covering of the seed sometimes retards ser
minatton, and it Is well to soak the seed
il water. DR.. w. L. Jones.

The Salary Bill.

The first experiment with the
salary bill passed last winter has
demonstrated that bill to be a mis-
cradle failure. Its only effect will
be to increase the cost of govern
ment and decrease the efficiency Of
official services. To appreciate the
workings Of the measure it is only
necessary to glance at the schedule
salaries fixed by the commissioners
of the various counties and pub
lished in this paper.
Take for example Oneida and
Canyon counties. These counties
are approximately the same in pop
ulation and assessed valuation,
and the official services required
will not materially differ in guam
tity and quality. In Oneida county
the assessor and collector is given
ST 900 a year; in Canyon county
$4,000, nearly double. In Oneida
county the sheriff is allowed 5000
and no deputy; in Canyon, $500
and a deputy at 5000, or three
times as much. In Oneida, the
clerk gets 5000 and no deputy; in
Canyon, $1,000 and a deputy at
5000, or more than two and half
tim5s es much. In Oneida, the
probate judge gets $500; in Can
yon, $1,000, or twice as much; and
in Oneida, the commissioner gets
$r5o. while In Canyon he gets $500
-or, in other words, one member
of the Canyon county board gets
almost as much again as the whole
Oneida board gets. Such glaring
inconsistencies will be found
throughout the schedules when
full comparisons are made.
Down in the little. struggling
county of Lincoln with its popula-
ton of 5000, the assessor gets
$4,000 and the commissions get
5000 each. But it is unnecessary to
prosecute this inquiry any further.
The salary law is failure viewed
from any point. 1t is unjust in its
practical operation and inducive OF
extravaganza, dishonesty and in
competency. Caldwell Tribune.

vineiand Management.

Prof. A. B. Leckenby, an expert of
the United States Department of Ag
riculture; visited Vineland the other
day. Prof Reckenby had four years
experience as chief advisor and irri-
CATION expert to the great Kern
County Land company of California,
and has spent many years in study
of colony work on irrigated lands.
1t is therefore of great interest to
know that he endorses the methods
of the management as being the
best he has seen in vogue in
any similar enterprise, and worthy
of emulation by managers of other
companies. The policy of the Vine
land company is to encourage and
assist the thrifty settler in all proper
ways; not with money, but with easy
payments for the lands, furnishing
employment for surplus labor, and
especially in giving each settler the
benefit Of years of study and exper-
fence in irrigation farming, and home
building, while never interfering
with mans independence in thought
and action. Careful restrictions in
the contracts and deeds mutually pro-
tect all of the settlers, as we'll as the
company, and are found to work well
in practice.
