Coal Ashes in the Garden.

we frequently see the advice given
to use ashes AS fertilizer, but the writ
crs of such items do not always specify
whether wood ashes OF coal ashes is
meant. AS is generally known wood
ashes have considerable value as fer
tilizer, largely because of the amount
of potash contained in them. Large
quantities OF unleacheG wood ashes are
yearly brought from Canada and used
Oh our farms; in some sections they are
extensively used on grass Land.
The late Robert Bonner. the noted
horseman. applied wood ashes for sew
eral years in succession to his meadows
and for something like twelve years
after the last application of wood ashes
these meadows have had no fertilizer
except a moderately heavy top dressing
Of stable manure each fall; the crop
yearly has been a most satisfactory
one. Coal ashes can be utilized to adj
vantage around orchard trees where
the soil is heavy or clayey in charac-
ter: they may also be used as mulch
around shrubbery and small trees to
conserve the moisture in the soil. These
ashes are less Objectionable for such
purposes than the coarse stable man
ure generally used.

Large Black Peas Praised.

With us, writes w. B.J.. in Home and
Farm, the large black pea has given
the most satisfactory results. 1t is Il
strong and vigorous grower, makes a
great mass of haulm. natures and
dries early, so that dry potis can be
gathered in September; and in yield
of seed exceeds, we believe, all other
varieties. 1t is as good as any for
stock or for hay, and the green peas
in summer or the dry peas in winter
are in every way as sweet and savory
and nutritious for man as any variety
of twelve OF thirteen that we have
ever grown.
For an all-round pea, for any pur-
pose required by the farmer, we be-
lieve there is nothing better than the
large-seeded, all-black variety. There
is small-seeded kind, but not so good.
Let the farmer try to work this sort
GU: from his seed.
And for planting purposes, or foI
use on the table in winter, Il portion
of the crop should be planted rather
Late in July, in order to have seed not
infested with that great pest Of thi:
crop, the little pea bug. At the South
the early sowings are invariably in
tested with this insect. Farmers whc
would make specially of the black
| pea fer seed would doubtless find il
profitable. At $15O to $3.50 per bush
| el of seventy pounds the crop pays
well. =;
