Subsoiling.-In a general way subsoiling
is a good thing, but not always good
enough thing to pay the cost of its appli-
cation. Subsoiling that pays is always
expensive, for soft. easily broken subsoils
don't need it. 1t doesn't create moisture.
therefore is of little use where the rainfall
is too light to produce crops. In regions
of sufficient rainfall to give good results
ordinarily, ii may injure the succeeding
crop unless the loosened ground becomes
saturated between the subsoiling and seed
ing. Subsolling is best done in autumn
when the ground is dry. and in seni-arid
regions should be done early, In order that
the ground may become settled and moist
ened, and that capillarity may be restored
before spring crops go in.

One of the biggest leaks on the farm,
and one that is often noticed least, is the
small amount of care given farm imple-
rnenIs. There Is no greater mistake than
to imagine it is economy to have cheap
and inferior implements on the farm, and
there Is likewise no greater mistake than
TO fail to take care of good implements
when YOU have them. Personal supervis-
ion is the only thing that will insure your
tools being cared for when they are used
by hired help, and this personal attention
a good farmer will always give.

Potash Salts on Manure Heap.-Almost
all stable manure is deficient in potash.
One of the best ways to remedy this de-
feet is to reinforce the manure while 1t is
yet in the barnyard by putting German
potash salts on the heaps. This serves
double purpose. The salts will absorb am
monia which makes a nitrate of potash
or saltpetre. Super-phosphate of lime
may also be applied with benefit That
Is largely composed of sulphate of lime
or gypsum, and this has strong affinity
for ammonia, which it converts into sui
phate of ammonia. If stable manure were
always thus reinforced with potash and
phosphate their efficiency would be more
than doubled. 1t Is really the best way
to use mineral manures so that they will
not revert to insoluble forms.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-02-13

Salt as a Fertilizer The value of salt
for increasing growth of crops comes al
most entirely from its effect in making
the plant food soluble that is already in
the soil. II has itself no fertilizing value
not even for asparagus and beets both OF
which grow naturally on land where salt
sea water furnishes more or less of this
mineral to the soil. But wherever there
is a rich black muck full of vegetable
matter, a barrel of salt per acre spread
as evenly as possible will cause more Of
1t to be put in form for crops to take, Salt
is also good to apply with stable manure
or. rather, after the stable manure has
been plowed under, for If the application
is made in the open air il will show the
loss of ammonia by the very pungent
smell of that gas. The effectiveness of
phosphate Is greatly increased by putting
salt with It, though, as there will be chem
ical action between the two minerals. they
should not be combined until the pbos-
phate Is under covering of soil Whera
coarse, poor grass grows in meadows ana
pastures a dressing Of salt will improve
its quality. Coarse refuse salt used 10 he
sold at 50 to $4 per ton from the SYRIA
cuse Salt Works, to Ge used for seriouI-
tural purposes. But the best barrel salt Iz
now so cheap that, as 1t is finer and car
be spread more evenly, it Is practically
cheaper than the refuse salt, which has
usually many hard Jumps of gypsum mixed
with II.

A Useful Garden Implement: For gar
den purposes, especially, one of the most
valuable implements we ever used was
common canal wheelbarrow with broad
tire twelve TO sixteen inches wide. of
course a wheelbarrow is almost indispen-
sable in the garden, but one with tire
as broad as we have suggested is a per
feet love- of an implement. 1t is very
handy to haul out the vegetables from the
beds when the soil il quite wet, but fur
Their than this 1t makes the very best Of
rollers. If necessary to have heavy pres
sure, as is often needed in dry weather,
few stones can be added to give it
weight. Any blacksmith can take off the
narrow tire and replace with band of
iron twelve to sixteen inches wide. A
band of wood answers very well, but 1t is
about as cheap to use iron.
1t is splendid implement and we COM
mend 1t to gardeners who realize the value
of a roller.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-02-13

The most profitable use to put poor roll
ing land to is to set il in peach trees or
turn it out to grass. Set out the young
seedlings on such land as carefully as IT
It were good land; and with the aid of
some fine ground bone and ashes and pine
straw, a very profitable orchard can be
ultimately established. One can afford to
manure properly a hundred spots on an
acre with the above material where he
could not afford to apply fertilizers all
over it TO the amount necessary to make
II rich enough for farm crops. A little
bone meal worked i'm near the roots at
the time of setting out and the following
year an application made on the surface
about the tree, and four or five feet in
every direction, of a mixture of bone meal
and ashes hoed in, will soon make an or
chard that will pay for all the trouble, in
all probability.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-02-13

Some one has very wisely remarked
that a fool can cultivate rich land which
needs but to stir the soil and cover the
seed, to produce a good crop; but to cul-
tivate a poor SOIL man must exhibit in
teTligence. He must exhaust the possible
tiles of his art. He must understand the
character and needs of his land, the
choice of his crops, the manner of feeding
them. the preparation. use and making Of
manure, the value and use of concentrated
food and the means of applying all these
in the most effective manner.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. SAT ssA5
this morning the election certificates
OF William s. Taylor we're signed by

Kentucky. The ofiiciAl fgures alsd
with Secretary OF State Pinley are:

Gosael, lsi, ,ssl.
Taylor's pluraIity, ASS.
The operation which ended, for the
time beng ut least, the bitterly fought
Gnberna,orial contest was conducted
In the simplest manner. The major
ity opinion Of Commissioner pryor.
and Ellis and the minority opinion Of
Commissioner Poyntz, which were
published this morning were not read
as was the original intention. The
three commissioners walked first tc
the ofiee Of the Clerk of the Supreme
Court, where they hled two opinions.
They then passed into the office oi
the Secretary OF State. Clerk Che
nault, of the Board OF Commissioners,
read the figures showing that the Re-
publican candidates for office on the
State ticket had received the largest
number of votes and then certificates
Of election were signed at once, thai
Of Mr.. Taylor beng first on the list.
All three commissioners were ap.
parently in good humor.
The certificates, as soon as signed,
were fled with the Secretary Of State
and commissions were issued to the
elected men at once by Governor
Bradley.
Commissioner Ellis discusses the
decision freely.
"Speaking for myself" said Mr.,
Ellis, 81 say frankly / did not like to
do this thing but under the Law
and the evidence there Is nothing else
can do and be an honest man.
"Why, l was an original Goebe
