One of the Columbia university pro-
feSsors, who isn't alarmed at the new
theory of a failure of the potash sup
ply, is reported as saying: 1T is not
unlikely that potash beds exist in this
country and that they will be found.
At any rate, the SaXony mines. it is es-
timated, have supply of 10,000,0000 600
tons, sufficient to last for SO centuries
at the present rate of production.

One button kid gloves are worn with
the new sleeve, which has the dainty

Short black glace jackets with stitch

Conclusions from investigations bv
j. d. Towar of Michigan:
Subsoil blowing practiccd Immediate
ly before sowing the beets. owing. per-
haps to the severe drought which fol-
lowed, resulted in the complete loss Of
the crop.
Coarse manure applied some two
months before sowing the bcets result
ed in increased yield ana bcets of a
.ormal percentage of sugar
r Carefully prepared home mixed fer
tilizer gave higher yields and better
beets than stable manure
Nitrate of soda alone gave no mark
ed increase in yield, but. in combina-
ton with other elements, generally in
creased the yield, with a normal per
cent of sugar
In every case nitrate Of soda gave
higher yields than sulphate of ammo
MIA
Wood ashes and salt increased the
yield of beets slightly.
One ton of air slaked lime per acre
Increased slightly the yield of beets on
the uplands without affecting the per-
= centage of sugar.
ON muck land one ton of air slaked
lime per acre in combination with 9th
er fertilizers decreased the tonnage II
per cent and reduced the sugar con-
tent from 9.64 to 7.GS per cent. When
lime was applied alone on muck land,
increased applications increased the
tonnage of beets, but decreased the
percentage of sugar.
Early planting gave larger yields
and slightly higher percentage of sug-
ar
Clay loan soil produced the largest
tonnage and the highest percentage of
sugar, followed by other soils in the
order below, except that the tonnage
on muck is next to clay loam-sandy

Lnyering StrnMhcrries

After the middle of July strawberry
plants that are to be grown in matted
rows are allowed to layer, and ordi-
narily no attention is paid to assisting
them, but if the season is very dry and
few runners are formed they may be
layered by hand. Some growers also
find it advisable to layer the plants by
hand and thus distribute them so that
the ground will be occupied to the best
advantage. When the plants are two
feet apart, two runners are layered at
either side of each original plant. so
that they will form a square, with the
old plant in the center. The other run
ners are removed and the plants are
allowed to thicken up and give nearly
as good results as can be obtained from
hill culture.
The growers who plant so as to work
the ground both ways and still wish to
grow tile plants in matted rows are
only able to keep up this practice until
about the middle of July ana after
that work the land in one direction
only. In this way the runners are dis
tributed lengthwise of the rows. where
they soon become layercd. 1t will gen
orally be best to restrict the width of
the row to eight or ten inches.-L. r.

1t often happens that the farmer
wishes to blow up stump or a rock
or other thing and is at a loss for a
safe fuse. a train of gunpowder is too
quick and other things too slow, all
more or less uncertain and dangerous,

who therefore suggests the following:
In pint or more of water dissolve as
much saltpeter as the water will take
up. Then thoroughly soak some can

j. E. Wing, who has done more than

land, ethics alone or with a very light

: where is the potash of the United

New York. THE world now depends
for its entire supply upon single mine
In Saxony, and yet there should be
vast deposits of that mineral in the al
kaline and salt plains of this country.
Where are they? 1t is the duty of geol-
ogists to find them. When they are
discovered the biologists who find them
will confer a greater blessing upon
this country than they would by IN
earthing all the gold and silver in the
world"
A few years ago Sir William Crookes
startled the world by the prediction
that at no distant date the worlds sup
ply of nitrogen available for the growth
OF wheat would be exhausted and crops
could no longer be produced pea
vine farmers, however, have very
quietly solved that problem by growing
leguminous crops. which accumulate
In their roots nitrogen from the air,
and thus enrich the land where they
are grown preparatory to other crops.

phosphates and potash to maintain the

Phosphate has already been found in
large quantity in the coast lands of

DR.. Atkinson says this history NAV

potash should be found by deep Dor
ings In the neighborhood of those
springs of the west, which contain so
much potassium that ranchers have TO
keep their cattle from drinking the wa
tiers. 1t may also be found in the re-

Where to Cut sprouts on stumps.

mere TO Cut sprouts StumDs,
Winter cut hard wood stumps are
likely to sprout the following season..
while those cut in midsummer do so
rarely or cease sprouting the second
season. Allowing winter cut stumps
to retain their sprouts throughout the
summer preserves the vitality Of the
roots, and If early the following spring
these shoots are cut off the roots are
IN condition to throw up another sup
ply Of shoots, and so the life of the
stump may continue for several sea-
sons according to the age of the
stump-the older for a shorter and the
younger for a longer time.
The advantageous time to cut away
sprouts Is during July and August.
when the foliage is fully maturcd. The
effect is sudden shock to vitality at
time when nature is least prepared to
recover from such damage. 4 few
ephemeral sprouts may come after
midsummer cutting. but usually no
persistent growth The long lapse Of
time without foliage till the opening Of
the next season usually sutlices to de-
stroy the stump's vitality. Exceptional
cases may be met in stumps of will
lows, aSpenS, mulbcrries. etc, which
may require more continued cutting
and grubbing to destroy them. This
advice was originally given by such
good authority as DR.. b. w. Fernow
