Desirable For Truck Gardening.

For vegetable growing new land ia
very desirable not only because Of its
comparative freedom from foul growth
but because such soils contain a large
supply of organic nitrogen. the most
necessary and expensive Of vegetable
fertilizers. 1t is light and porous,
thereby enabling the tender sprout
after termination TO more readily push
its feeble form through the eartb's sur
face. Upon old land frequently a
crust will form on the surface or the
soil become baked. thereby preventing
seed from coming up. but no trouble
OF this character is experienced with
new ground. The physical condition
of such soils greatly encourages the
development of those tuberous vegeta-
bles that grow by 4 process Of expan-
sion underground.
These are some Of the properties OF
new ground that render it desirable
for trucking. Potatoes. both sweet
and Irish, will certainly thrive on this
soil. They will yield we'll, be SYM
metrical in form. clear in color and
very free from scab. The tomato is
another vegetable most %congenial to
new ground. Upon such land it is rel
atively free from blight and less liable
to be choked or smothered by a late
summer grass. which so frequently ap
pears upon old land after the size Of
the vines prevents cultivation. Neither
should tobacco be omitted in enumer-
ating crops adapted to new land.
Among small fruits the strawberry
thrives especially well on recently
cleared land. Upon such soil it makes
q most satisfactory growth and fruit
age, and much less labor is required to
keep the weeds and grass down, as the
ground is not impregnated with foul
seed. This immunity of new ground
compared to old land from weed and
grass infestation is a most important
factor not only in strawberry culture,
but in all gardening or trucking opera
tions.-F. Williams, Jr., Virginia.

Rational System of Fertilization.

The Alabama agricultural expert
ment station has published Bulletin
No. 100, on the velvet bean and the
cowpea as fertilizers. In conclusion.
the writer, Professor J. +. Duggar. re-
afirms his statement made in a pre-
vious bulletin:
considering pcrmanercy o. efect, as
we'll as influence on the crop immedi-
ately following, the cowpea and other
leguminous plants must. be ranked as
a cheaper source of nitrogen than is
any heterogeneous material which may
be bought as commercial fertilizers.
The aim Of the cotton farmers should
be to grow such areas Of legumes as
will enable him to dispense with the
purchase of heterogeneous fertilizers for
cotton, using the funds thus saved to
purchase increased amounts Of phos-
pilates Or other necessary non-nitro-
geneous fertilizers. The money that
would have been necessary to pur-
chase one pound of nitrogen will buy
about three pounds of phosphoric acid.
or of potash, which larger purchases
of phosphate and potash will enable
the farmer to grow heavier crops Of
legumes. And heavier crops of le-
gumes trap larger amounts Of other
wise unavailable atmospheric nitrogen
and result in further soil enrichment.
I'm the writer's opinion the most
promising method of increasing the
yield Of cotton an acre and the profits
of cotton culture is by q more general
use of leguminous plants as fertilizers.
These valuable allies are by some far
.mers utilized and appreciated. but their
use might be increased twentyfold
with advantage to the current crop,
to the permanent upbuilding Of the
soil. and to the filling of the farmers
pocket. 1t is putting the case very
mildly to say that the average yield

hinistsr's Aaksshifs All Right Until
the Maid Appeared.
A distinguished Episcopal clergy
mar was ono called on to of1ciate at
q fashionable summer resort church,
and, finding only a short surplice and
nc cassock in the vestry, was very
much disturbed at the thought of hav-
ing to appear In a vesture that to the
frivolous would look like q white shirt
and trousers. But a happy inspiration
came to him. Why not wear 4 OF
his wife's black petticoets? The por-
ton that would show below the Jul
plice would look exactly like the regu-
lation cassock. and no n would e
be the wiser. So he hurriedly sent
4 of the ushers with an explanatory
note to his wife in the hotel, and in
the nick of time the petticoat arrived.
The makeshift turned out to be a per-
feet success, and no one at q distance
could tell that he was not wearing q
cassock. After the close Of the SER
vice he decided to so out to the body
Of the church without taking OF his
robes, in order to greet some friends.
And he was soon the center of a
group Of fashionable women, when a
green Irish maid from the hotel came
up, and in a loud voice said to him:
Yer Reverence, the missus STINT me
afther her petticoat that We do be
wearin', an l wuz to wait till ye take
it of."--New York Tribune.

And then he found himself standing

A door opened, and she turned
quickly. There entered handsome,

his hand. He smiled on seeing her,
and she pushed toward him an easy
chair, and turned to the windows to
draw the curtains.

look at the face which he felt that he
must never look upon again, turned

and servants, who had been congrat-
