three times the cost or the fertilizer.
With onions the results have been
even more remarkable. With'this crop.
however, 1t is advisable to use some
quickly available nitrogen In addition
to he potash and phosphoric acid.
There Is plenty of nitrogen in the
muck. but during the early stages of
the growth of the onion plant the soil
is so cold that nitrincation does not
take place rapidly enough to supply
soluble nitrogen to the plants and
growth is retarded.
An experiment with onions on muck
and at Nappanee, Indiana, gave the
following results:
No fertilizer, 300 bushels per acre:
400 pounds of sulphate OF potash, 400
bushels per acre; 400 pounds of bone
and 240 pounds Of blood, 500 bushels
per acre; 100 pounds of sulphate Of
potash, 400 pounds of bone, 240 pounds
or blood, 700 bushels per acre, while
800 pounds of mixed fertilizer contain
ing Its nitrogen and phosphoric acid in
more soluble forms and the potash in
the same form as before, gave a yield
of 795 bushels per acre.
These results indicate that for onions
and truck crops on these soils a COM
plete fertilizer containing, in soluble
forms, nitrogen 2 to 8 per cent. phos-
phoric acid 6 to 8 per cent, and potash
S to 10 per cent. Will be found profit
able. The average amount used per
acre has been about 500 pounds, but
two or three times this amount could
be pcontably used. The most success
ful growers recommend 1000 pounds
per acre.

THE RELATIONS OF WATER 70
PLANT GROWTH.

Experiments carried on at Cornell
college, Ithaca, N. Y, prove conclusive
~ that during the growth of a sixty
bushel crop Of corr the plants pump
from the soil and evaporate through
their leaves over nine hundred tons OF
water on every acre. The water taken
out Of the soil by a twenty-five bushel
crop OF wheat is over five hundred
tors.
II has been finally and conclusiycly
demonstrated hal the maturing OF
every pound of the grain OF oats, re-
quires five hundred pounds OF water.
Let US think for a momen what that
means. For every fifty bushels of oats,
100000 pounds OF water are taken out
OF the soil, besides what is evaporated
by the direct influence Of the sun and
wind.
What bearing has that fact on the
farmer? Take for instance a piece OF
ground which the farmer calculates TO
seed down to clover. If ne knows moth
Ing of these facts and principles, he
goes ahead u~nthinklngly. and sows
from two to three bushels OF pats or
barley and ten to fifteen pounds OF
clover seed. Both the clover seed and
grain sprout look we'll until the grain
begins to ripen. Then the little clover
plants begin TO shrivel up unless plenty
of rain ia had. Finally, when the grain
- cut. the clover plants are killed for
want of moisture. This is the great
trouble with the growing OF clover In
the middle west, and everywhere In
fact where the farmer has worked all
the humus out OF the soil. 1t is the
huinus-decayed vegetable matter
that holds moisture In the soil.
The great mistake farmers make I'm
seeding with clover and alfalfa, and
clover In particular. il in sowing too
much grain. When we seed down we
should use not TO exceed a bushel OF
oats or barley Il the acre as a nurse
crop. Indeed. 1t will be invariably seen
that the less grain sown, down TO a
half bushel 10 the acre, the stronger
and surer will be the crop OF clover or
alfalfa When we consider the amount
OF water The grain takes out OF the
soil. Is II any wonder the little clover
plants die?
III d held OF corn. or OF any hoed
crop. frequent n shallow stirring OF
the soil between the rows, Will stop
the evaporation OF water by the heat
and wind. and thus save more for the
plants. Since we have got to using the
riding ~cultlyator. we are stopped from
stirring the soil as late as would be
profitable. Going through the corn
with a single horse c~uitfvator twice and
hoeing out the weeds after the plants
are too large for the riding c%ultiyator.
will almost always add a handsome In
crease TO the crop. 1t Is well to study
this matter OF conserving the soil
water. We must put more humus In
our soil, Flowing under the second
crop OF clover vii! help put a lot OF
humus In the land. Most farmers will
pasture. or NOW this crop, thinking
they cannot afford to pillow Ii under.
Dut we must have tina courage TO feed
our land as well as our I've stock.

1t was dealt out to him. Nay, perhaps,
in his Utmost heart he felt some thrills

Accordingly, the hospital provides regular dances. and the inmates
