That IS, too much Of humus or other sub

The same fertilizer does not do for every
soil, nor for every crop. and to find out a
well balanced rotation of crops we partly
simplify the subject before US. because in
a good rotation of crops we add TO the sol
different material articles that always
nourish and feed the soil. Different crops
require different mineral elements in diff
ferent proportions All soils require hui
mus, enough in fact to hold the water so
that the manure elements will not leach
away too quickly. Humus thus added in
the way of green manure or barn yard

cannot get along without, but it does no.
suffice alone. It's function is more to
keep the mechanical condition OF the
soil of this humus and it must be added
constantly, and a rotation of crops should
always include one green crop that can be
plowed under.
A substitute for this is an application
of fifty to one hundred bushels of WOO
ashes to the acre annually; but the wood
ashes do not alone supply a perfectly bal
anced ration any more than the humus or
green crop turned under. The soils must
be fed with more phosphoric acid and pot
ash than are contained in the wood ashes.
The application of the mineral clemens
in different forms is almost essential to
our old soils Alone they do not answer
the purpose, but in conjunction with hui
mus, green food, or wood ashes they pro-
duce results of great value. We cannot
afford 10 neglect either, for they all help
TO constitute the balanced ration. Some
soils and some crops require much largec
proportions of one than another, but they
all demand both the humus and the min
eral elements TO some degree.

Chicago labor Unions Passed Reso-

Chicago, Feb. 5-Chicago trades unions

following resolutions were adopted with
but one dissenting vote:

courts: and
Whereas, these injunctions are ob-
tanned for the purpose of sending work

when if they had jury trial there could
not be conviction, and;
Whereas the country has been startled
by the refusal of one Taylor alleged
Governor of Kentucky, to obey the order
of the courts to refrain from illegal in

Resolved, That the Chicago Federation

Fertilizer For WatermeIons.

Director Redding of the Georgia Expert
ment Station sends the following
Mr.. A. Q. Moody Boston, Ga, asks for
a perfect fertilizer" for watermelons.
Promising that l know of no better fer
tiliZer for this crop than well preserved
and thoroughly rotted stable manure, but
recognizing that it is not usually TO be
had in sufficient quantity. | submit the
following as the best formula and the
ma terial composing it The cheapest:
Acid phosphate III. G., 1909 pounds.
Muriate of potash, $50 pounds.
Cotton meal, LOO pounds.
OF course, each grower must exercise
his judgment, based on his knowledge of
the quality of his soil, in determining how
much he will apply per acre. I would say
enough to get 100 to 175 pounds of acid
phosphate per acre-a ccording to the quail
ity of the soil. This would require from
$50 to 416 pounds of the formula above Civ
en-. But if you substitute kainit in place
of muriate OF potash, which you may do
at slightly greater cost, requiring 600
pounds of kaint in place of 250 pounds of
muriate, then the amount necessary to
get 100 to 10 pounds of acid phosphate
TO the acre would be 300 to 500 pounds
of the lower grade mixture.
The fertilizer should be applied some two
or three weeks before planting and thor
oughly well mixed with the soil in and
around each Hill to a distance of not less
than the limits of a circle Of four or five
feet in diameter.
But material improvement on the
above formula in the direction of ma king
it more nearly perfect, would be secured
by using some nitrate of soda or other
more quickly available heterogeneous ingre-
dent in place of a portion of the cotton
meal For instance, leave out one-half of
the cotton meal and be prepared TO APP
ply its equivalent in nitrate of soda at
the rate of one pound of the latter for
each two pounds of cotton meal left out
applying a very small portion at the time
of planting, say one-half teaspoonful
scattered on The surface of each hill aft
er covering the seed, and the remainder
at two or even three top dressings after
the plants are in fourth leaf say two or
three weeks apart. The nitrate need not
be covered in unless the surface is quite
dry. Simply scatter it around the plant
within a foot and if the ground surface
is dry rake il in lightly. Thirty heapng
teaspoonfuls of nitrate make about one
pound, so then at 800 hills to the acre
one teaspoonful to each hill would require
ten pounds to go over the acre.
Unfortuna tely on account of the de-
rangement of British sea TRANSFORMATION
in consequence of the war in the Trans
vaal, nitrate of soda has rapidly advanc-
ed in price TO within the neighborhood OF
3 cents pound. But cotton seed meal is
also much higher, and II is to be hoped
that melons will also bring better prices
