Flat Turnips for Green Manure.

If fat turnlps are sown among the
growing crops of corn or other crops
at the last hoeing in July or August,
they will get foothold so as TO grow
rapidly when the shading crops are
removed. Before frost comes many
of them Will have grown large enough
to have become fit for table use, while
the others may be plowed under as
green manure, or they may even be
left to freeze and rot where they are.
In this last case they serve as n par
tial cover crop TO keep the soil from
washing. Or they might be plowed
under early enough TO allow of sowing
rye as a e9ysr crop. We do not think
they enrich the n ssffoeund as much where
they freeze and rot In the
ground rs when plowed in,
but the difference is rot
very great Nor are they as valuable
as clover for green manuring, but
they have considerable value, and seed
costs but trifle and the labor is not
much. If this Is done, corn may be
planted again where corn has grown
this year If desirable. Gs corn is of the
grass family, and may be grown many
years in succession upon the same
soil If the fertility is kept up.

In summer the pasture is severely
taxed. Some farmers believe the pas
ture from close and constant crop
ping by growing some kind OF green
crop, such as sweet corn, oats or cow
peas the cattle being turned on the
crops when the plants are young in
order to take them Off the pasture
long enough to give the grass Il start.
AS the plants so grown can be used
at any stage of growth, 1t requires
but short time to provide such green
food for the stock But little labor is
required, the land being stirred with
II disc, the seed brondcasted and the
land rolled. The cost of such a tenn
porary crop Is hut little, while the
rest that is given the pasture will be
of great benefit. If there Is danger
from trampling the green food it may
be cut and fed to cows. \ mixture

Field Experiments with Fertilizers.

The application of complete ferti-
li2cr, without consideration as to
whether the crop in question requires
three plant foods or only one, usually
results In waste. The purpose of the
field experiments being carried on by
the Cornell college of agriculture Is
to interest farmers in testing their
soils in order to learn that plant food
IL lacking for the crops they wish to
raise, and also to find out whether
commercial fertilizers are more or
less profitable than stable manure.
The question IS often asked by the
intelligent farmer. What fertilizer
shall | use on my land? The question
is hard one and can only be an
swercd after series of experiments.
a poor yield of any crop may be due to
one or more of several conditions.
The soil may be too acid or 1t may
be deficient in potash, nitrogen or
phosphoric acid. Again it may be
too heavy or cold or there may be II
lack of humus. To apply nitrogen or
potash to soil lacking phosphorlc
acid is both useless and unwisc, rs In
all probability these plant foods are
present in sufficient quantity. Then
there often happens to be an insufii-
On such field an application at
commercial fertilizers would have
little or no beneficial effect.
The work undertaken by the Cornell
experiment stopophGs fSg j'sqim help
ing the farmers of the slate to detect
and improve inferior fields. The
station sends to such farmers as agree
to do the work sufficient quantity
of the three plant foods, nitrogen,
phosphoric acid and potash separately
and in combination. These expert
mcnts, carried out according to dlrec-
tions, enable the farmer to decide what
plant foods his soil requires. During
the past three years study Of all the
experiments shows that of the three
plant foods nitrogen gave the largest
yield in 2G experiments, potash in 30,
and phosphorlc acid in 5S. This indi-

these beauties is to introduce n panel
of white taffeta silk on the skirt, either
at the front or slightly to the left. Now

These black chantllly tulips over white
talfeta can be used with almost any
sllken gown, excepting one of brown.
But with white and black foulard,
an India or black taffeta, the Idea
reaches its better development. 1t also
is good way of testing grey foul

should be triangular, with the base at
the foot. 1t Is not necessary to use
chantllly lace In any other way on this
