make it, in honesty to themselves, are

Soil Analysis n Guide to the Use
of Fertilizers.

The only practical way of learning
the needs of a particular soil is to make
experiments on that soil on the main
tenance of fertility, and thus learn
which combination of fertilizing mate
rails will produce the greatest effect.
The Ohio experiment station, in
recent press bulletin, calls attention to
the fact, which cultivators often for
get, the question: will you make a
chemical analysis of my soil to deter
mine whether l need nitrogen potash
or phosphoric acid, and, If so. what will
be the charger" is frequently addressed
to us, and in common with the station.
we make the uniform answer that such
an analysis would be very expensive
and when made would usually have
very little value as a guide to the use
of fertilizers, for the reason that the
chemist has as yet discovered no rea-
gent which possesses the same capac-
ity for extracting plant food from the

Origin of Turkeys,

c. E. Thorne, in his poultry book.
says that naturalists at present recog-
nize but two species of wild turkeys
the Meleagris gallopavo, which is the
wild turkey of the Southwestern United
States and Mexico, and the Meleagris
sylvestris of Canada and the Northern
United States. These varieties were
formerly classed as different species
under the name of Meleagris Mexicana
and Meleagris Americana, but, as they
differ but little, except in color and
pumage, they have latterly been re-
garded as but one species. Meleagris
ocellato is the rare and beautiful Ocel-
lated turkey of Central America.
In former geological epochs. at least
three other species of Meleagris have
existed within the limits of the present
United States. The remains of two
species, Meleagris altus or superbus,
and Meleagris celer, having been found
in the Post Pliocene of New Jersey, and
of another. Meleagris antisuus, in the
Miocene beds of Colorado.
Anatomically the turkey is closely re-
lated to the guinea fowl; hense, the
generic name Meleagris, the ancient
name of that fowl. The specific name
gallopavo is compounded of the names
of the barnyard fowl, Gallus, and of
the peacock Pavo.
Ornithologists now generally believe
that the wild turkey of Mexico was the
direct parent stock of the domesticated
turkey, basing this belief upon the
facts that this variety shows more
tendency toward the variation in color

oil as that of the living tissues of

soil as that of the living tissues of
the plant
To Illustrate: Potash is a character
istic constituent of granite rocks, and
a soil formed from such rocks may
appear rich in potash under the chem
lists analysis, and yet if that potash
be still in the form of granite sand it
will be yielded up very slowly to the
feeble solvents of the plant.
Again: In some of the Southern
states are immense beds of rocks con-
tanning large percentages of phosphoric
acid; but if these rocks are merely
ground and mixed with the soil their
phosphoric acid, which has resisted the
solvent action of soil water for ages,
will continue insoluble, and hence the
necessity for treating these ground
rocks, with sulphuric acid, in order to
make their phosphoric acid available.
Still further: When piece of marshy
land has been drained it is often found
that the crops planted upon 1t fail to
thrive, although it seems to be very
rich in nitrogen. The remedy here is to
add barnyard manure, something which
savors strongly of carrying Goals to
Newcastle; but the explanation is that
the semi-aquatic vegetation which
formerly occupied the land decays so
slowly that cultivated crops cannot get
nitrogen rapidly enough for their
needs. When the manure is added
however, it sets up a fermentation
which converts the nitrogen bearing
materials into more soluble and hence
available FORM

Can anyone tell why orchard grass,
one of the most common as well as one
of the most valuable forage plants in
the United States, is not better known
and more appreciated? Many a farmer
does not even recognize it at sight.

It all his life A veritable gypsy, it has

shade, and in a porous subsoil will
send its roots to a great depth.
This perhaps accounts for its per-
sistence. When once it has secured a
foothold 1t may be relied upon to yield
an abundance of forage year after

thrives best under cropping. In the

THE UBIQUITOUs FAKER.

Bailey Banner: The people Of Halle
hurst were neatly taken last Thursday
night by fakir with a slick tongue,
an imaginary entertainment and an I'M
limited supply of common table salt in
fancy packages. The table salt was
masquerading under the fancy title of
Saline and was said to cure all the
ills to which human flesh is heir. The
fakir was accompanied by lady and
an old gentleman presumably Con-
federate veteran, and the aggregation
promised to give a delightful entertain
ment. The silk-tongued orator made
his spiel and sold about SIS worth of
his remedies, but just when his enter
tainment was billed to commence the
lights failed and the show was post
poned until the following night The
doctor left on the early train next
morning, so his promise to refund the
money to all dissatisfied ones was no
good. This game has been worked all
along the road, but was unusually sue
cessful at Hazlehurst. The doctor
came on here, but had no luck.

tomology, mycology or ornithology, he
is at a disadvantage wherever his bust
ness touches these sciences, and SUI
fers loss proportional to his lack OF
information. OF course, 1t is not eX-
pected that farmers generally shall be
experts in all these branches of scien-
tific knowledge; but if they are ground
ed in the elementary principles, they
will know where to go for what they
want wise philosopher has said
that the next thing to the possession
of knowledge is to know where to go
to obtain it. Without education in the
sciences upon which success depends,
farmers cannot hope to hold their own
with the commercial and manufactur-
ing interests, with the best training the
world of commerce can bestow. These
branches do not come in contact with
any science but that of numismatics,
and that is acquired by simple contact,
or as is often the case, by inheritance.
Every operation of the farm, from
turning the furrow to protecting, har-
vesting and feeding out the crop, Is
based on natures unrepealable laws,
and a knowledge of these laws is sci
ence. Such knowledge is never inherit
ed or acquired by accident or incident.
It must be secured by hard study and
persistent thought. There is no calling,
with the exception of that of teaching,
that requires for best results such
broad learning as agriculture. The time
is rapidly approaching when farmers
must be educated in every branch Of
knowledge which affects their calling,
or they must take a position with the
rear guard. This training must begin
early at home, continue in the pubic
schools, be carried on through the ag-
through life. When a farmer becomes
too old to learn any more, he should
sell his farm, move to town and do the
hest he can.

About Tomatoes.

Prof. Massey of North Carolina is
quoted as saying that he formerly en-
tertained the opinion, still held by
some Cby good many, might be said)
that heavy applications of heterogeneous
manures made the vines too rank ana
the fruit more crooked; but persistent
efforts in improving the character OF
the fruit and the modes of culture have
convinced him that with good strain
of seed no amount of manuring Will
make it any more irregular While
poor strain will be irregular in any
event, and that a rank growth OF Vlne'
induced by heavy manuring, simply IN
dicates the need of more room Tor the
plant and a heavier crop OF big toma-
toes, and that heavy manuring in the
hill is the best way to insure vlgor-
orous growth of vine and correspond
ing viger and perfection in the fruit.
In a general way, says t. Grelner,
writing in the Practical Farmer, l am
entirely in accord with Prof. Massey
on these points, except that L prefer
broadcast mandring to hill application.
One of the heaviest yields of most per-
feet fruit l ever saw was on the
grounds of a neighbor in New Jersey
who had to put a heavy coat of COM
posted fish manure (rich in phosphoric
acid and nitrogen) on his patch. 1t is
not always true that small fruits grow
from seeds of small fruits, and vice
versa, for / would rather use the seed
of a small tomato taken from vine
that has mostly large tomatoes than
from an exceptionally large specimen
growing on a plant that otherwise has
all small fruits. But 1 do believe that
trimming and training the plant to
a single stem leads to smaller pro-
duction of blossoms, less pollen and
smaller crop; that the largest crops are
always on the plants which are al
lowed to take their full natural deVel-
opment and grow at their own sweet
will on the ground" and it may be
true. to some extent, that healthy to-
matoes lying on the ground are no more
liable to rot than those trained off it.
1t would not be easy to find fruit that
can be more rapidly improved by care
full selection or run out more rapidly
by careless handling than the tomato.
So much for the opinions of others.
AS to the single stem method, 1t is the
experience of American Gardening that
better quality, handsomer and finer
fruits can be grown on the trained
plants than on those allowed TO spread
freely, and an earlier crop. These are
important points.

Four Acres Enough Sometimes.

About Tomatoes.
There is no question that four acres
of land as rich as it could be made to
be and planted to certain crops and
cultivated intelligently could be made
to produce enough to support small
family in luxury.
Now, four acres in corn, or four
acres in cotton, or the same in wheat
or oats, would not yield a very lux
urious living to any family If we cred
tied such an area with only the aver
age production of a particular section.
But If these four acres could be made
to produce at the rate that certain par
ticular acres have yielded they would
even in the common crops we have
named go a considerable ways in fur
nshing support to a small family. We
know that 200 bushels of corn have been
made on one acre, and again, we know
that $500 bales of lint cotton has been
of wheat and $50 bushels of oats.
Four acres yielding at these rates
would be living to many a small fam
lily. But instead of having four acres
of corn or cotton or wheat or oats, say
we have one four acres in Strawberries
or Japan plums or asparagus or cab
bage or onions or lettuce or Irish po-
tatoes, and make a crop equal to the
best that has ever been made on sim
gle acre and it could be easily shown
that the product of four acres in such
crops would be a royal income to any
ordinary family in any section of the
country
Peter Henderson has sold $4,000
worth of lettuce from one acre. Two
hundred and fifty bushels of strawber-
ries is no uncommon yield from an
acre. Marketed intelligently, a maxi
mum crop from four acres of aspara-
gus would run up into the thousands.
Four acres of cabbage might be made
to stand for $1,000 or more. And so
on a number of other crops that might
be named.
Four acres in cauliflower, grown in
the most intelligent manner, and sold
in the best market of the country,
might stand for as many thousands of
dollars.
