SOUTHERN GARDENS.
CIV F. Massey in Southern Farm Maga-
zine of Baltimore for January)

CIV. +. Massey in Southern Farm Naga-
zine of Baltimore for january
Our Southern gardeners and farmers
both will come after awhile to realize
the great profit there is in extensive
cultivation and heavy fertilization. Get
the land rich in organic matter with
stable manure and recuperative crops
and you make the heavy application of
fertilizers pay, while you cannot make
it pay on dead poor land with a little
dribble of some brand of fertilizers. Good
farming, the growing of forage and the
feeding of stock are the means through
which the intensive farmer and trucker
Will get his land to respond TO heavy
applications OF concentrated fertilizers.
The permanent Improvement of the soil
must go hand in hand with the increased
use of commercial fertilizers on that
soil When man can take an old gar
den and get as much out of an acre CT
it as most farmers get from their farms
is it not time TO look into the matter OF
intensive culture? You cannot take
dead poor piece of land and get big
crops by piling the fertilizers on it, but
if you have an OLD garden spot that has
become unprCductive, though heavily
manured that is the place where you can
apply all the commercial fertilizer you
please and make it pay. And the lesson
the old manured garden teaches can we'll
be carried to the farm. Commercial
fertilizers will enrich you if you enrich
your land, but if you use them merely
to squeeze a little more out of the farm
to sell they will make you poor and your
farm poorer Get the old garden condi-
tions as near as possible on the farm,
and then do not be afraid to pile on the
fertilizers with a lavish hand. There IS
that scattereth and yet increases, and
there is that witholdeth more than is
meet and cometh to overly"

TO AID SOUTHERN FARMING.
John Hamilton in Southern Farm MaSa
zine of Baltimore for January)

The agencies that are to be most po-
tent in aiding these landowners are, 1st,
the agricultural college; second, the agri-
cultural experiment STATEN. third, the
agricultural institute ard fourth, the
agricultural journal. The agricultural
people of the South should insist upon
the legislatures il their States making
liberal appropriations to their colleges OF
agriculture, to their experiment stations
and for dissemination of agricultural in
formation through means of the farmers
Institutes. If these educational insti-
tutions are literally supported and in
tellgently directed, it Will not be long
before the Southern States viii be prac-
ticing diversified farming, cheapening
their methods CT production. will be i'm
proving the fertility CT their lands, and
will be adding greatly to the comfort
and prosperity Of their agricultural peo-
pie. By these means there will be given
all over the South visible demonstration
of what the Southern States are capable
in the way of agricultural production.
The sight of this prosperity will Of itself
attract the better class Of intelligent
farmers from elsewhere, and the tide OF
immigra ton will be diverted from the
great West to the milder climate and
greater possibilities of the South.

MANURE IN WINTER.

Do you think that it improves the
manure to keep it in the barnyard all
winter? Will it not lose as much or
more there than in the field? In fact we
know that it will lose more, and that
what gets away from you there is gone,
While what washes out on the field is
there 60 feed the crops next summer. DID
you ever fully realize the great power
that clay loan has for holding on to
plant food till some plant comes for IL.
Even on a steep hillside there is far less
loss than some imagine. We once began
to spread manure on a steep hill begin
ming at the top. When we had gotten
two thirds of the way down we stopped
spreading with the idea that enough
would wash down the hill during the
winter to make the lower part equal to
the upper In the next seasons crop
ping we could not see that the manure
had any effect two feet below where we
stopped. The soil had simply gotten it
and held it. Whenever the ground is
frozen enough to bear q team it is best
to get the manure ont and spread it
where the corn is to grow next summer.
1t is losing every day at the barn, no
matter if you have it under cover. In
fact, it needs closer attention under
cover llldH ouLuOOiS " ItltN ELI IOSS VI
nitrogen. Then in the South there is
hardly day except when the soil is too
wet, that the manure cannot be hauled
out and spread. If you will watch the
chance you can find.plenty of opportunity
to get the manure on the corn land dur
ing the winter. This getting out of the
manure in winter on the sod to go il
corn is one Of the chief reasons for not
breaking the sod in the fall unless plt
in order and soWn early to rye, on which
the manure may be spread when the
land is hard frozen, and a big start made
towards getting a corn crop of increased
bulk next summer. OF course. we can
fully sympathiZe with those who live
where winter is so long and spring is 50
short that it is necessary to get all done
in the fall that is practical BILE. But the
manure even on the top Of land fall
plowed for corn will not be in bad
place even in a cold climate. Years ago
the New Hampshire Experiment Station
proved that manure spread in the fall
and left lie till spring made more corn
than manure spread at same time and
plaWed under at once, or manure spread
in the spring and plowed under when the
fail spread manure was plOWed down.
Making all allowances needed for eli
mate and crops it will be found that there
is far less loss OF manure spread the
land than there is in the barnyard.
