grower. Its cultivation has been con-
fined to the south and southwest, where
it is grown to some extent as forage
crop, but generally for green manuring.
In the north its greatest value is its
power to renovate wornout soils. 1t
should be remembered tnat it is hot
weather plant, and the seed must not
be planted before corn planting time;
that it goes down" with the first au-
tumn frost and that on poor soil better
results may be secured by planting in
7ows and cultivating than by broad
casting.

Potatoes Planted Early and Sprayed.

Many farmers plant potatoes late in
the season in order to avoid in part the
ravages of the potato bug, and there is
no question about there being some
advantage in this respect. But If con-
tinued experiments demonstrate that
early planting and thorough spraying
will increase the crop from fifty to a
hundred bushels per acre over late
planting and little or no spraying 1t
would seem a wise policy to plant ear
ly and protect the plants by spraying,
says Professor L. A. Clinton Of New
York.

FertilixinE Tomatoes.

The impression is quite prevalent
that the tomato does not require heavy
manuring. Experiments that have been
conducted at number of stations
show that the tomato is a plant that
quickly and profitably responds to the
use of manures or fertilizers and that
the maturity and yield are very largely
influenced by the method of manuring
and fertilizing. Experiments conduct
ed by the New Jersey station have
shown nitrate of soda to be one of the
best heterogeneous fertilizers for this
crop.

WANT WRITTEN PRESCRIPTIONS
Kings County Druggists Ask Physicians to
Return to Old Custom.

To induce the members Of the medical profession
to return to the cid practice of writing prescrp-
tons for standard preparations. instead OF recon-
rnendinc the preparations put UP by the wholesale
drug houses the Kings County Pharmaceutical
Society is publishing and sending TO all the phy-
sicians in Kings County certain standard formulas
much prescribed
The idea was suggested to the society by Will
lam Muir a member of the State Board Of Phar-
macy who for many years conducted drug store
at Broadway and Ciates-ave-. Brooklyn The sug-
gestiou was adopted and the execution Of the idea
n1aced in the hands of John Wischert. chairman
of the committee trade. He has just mad pup
rshed a sheet containing six standard formulas
from, the National Fornulary- These sheets are
being sent to aIl the physicians. and will be fol-
lowed by others from time TO time
'.Our idea in doing this" said Mr. Muir last
night is 10 divert ourselves much of the profit
now going TO the manufacturing companies OF
late years. because these companies have solicited
trade and advertised extensively, the physicians
have got away from the practice Of writing pre-
Scriptions and instead recommending the prep
arations already put up. We believe that II would
he better 10 go back to the old custom. and then
