The magnitude of the farmers CO.

say that the membership of the farm

country amounts to not less than
100000 and may reach 100000.
These numbers. however. contain du-

and in consequence it is my rough
opinion that after eliminating dupli-

members of cooperative associations.
Only a few of these farmers live in the

Growing GIadio1us Bulbs.

Harvesting is the most simple but
tedious part of the gladiolus growers
work. Flowing on either side Of rows
loosens the soil from which the bulbs
are lifted by the spike which is imme-
diately clipped close to the bulb, after
which the bulbs are spread upon sheets
to cure before storing in the houses
where during the winter the roots are
removed and the stock is sorted, sized
and counted for market In shipping
packages are lined with several thick
nesses of paper for frost protection
and the bulbs are packed i'll planer
shavings so as 10 prevent bruising in
transit. I have many times been ask
ed how many bulbs could be grown
upon an acre. Practically the only re-
ply which could be made to this ques-
ton is from 100000 up TO 100000,
depending entirely upon the size of the
stock planted and the distance apart.

w ORNOlT LAND.

We are in receipt Of an inquiry from
northern Illinois farmer as to the
best method OF restoring fertility to a
wornouf farm. the farm presumably
being there located It is difficult to
prescribe in Il ease of this kind without
knowing more about the actual condi-
tor of the patient-the kind of soil, the
treatment which has brought it into
such demoralzed condition. etc In
general way-and that is the only way
tn which We will attempt to answer
the question-it may be said that soils
become impoverished and unproductive
because of the using up of the humus
(decayed vegetable or organic natter
and the nitrogen which they once pos
sessed and which are absolutely indis-
pensable to the profitable production of
crops If these two elements be re-
stored TO the wornout soil its regenera-
ton will have been accomplished. This
process cannot be accomplished in any
one year or two years, but takes time
The humus may be restored to the soil
in various ways-by pasturage, by lib
eral fertilizing with barnyard manure
by the blowing under of green crops. a
happy combination of the three meth
DDS securing the best results. Nitrogen
may be returned to the soil i'll two
ways-by the direct application of
some form of the many nitrate com
mercial fertilizers or by the slower and
as will take the nitrogen from the air
and put it in the soil, clover, alfalfa,
soy beans and cowpeas being the four
best plants to work with for this pur-
pose Assuming that we had a field
of, say. cIayey soil. which was worked
out to a finish we would try to give
it twenty-five loads of manure to the
acre. then would plow and pulverize it
to a fine seed bed then SOW it to cow
peas. then plow these under in Septem-
Der and SOW to rye. pasture the rye and
SOW clover in the spring, still pasturing
the rye. and keep the field in clover for
two seasons. turning the second crop
under in September of the second year
The chances are that Il field 50 treated
would produce a very fine crop of Ell
ther wheat or corn the next season and
with fair and liberal treatment and a
clover reinforcement every five Years

parts of the farm-for one could not
well doctor whole farm this way At

some sort, this to be fortified as far as
possible u await its turn for the treat
ment above outlined. There are two
other helps Possibly tile draining
would accomplish much, this depend
ing upon the land. of course. Then eter-
nal war should be waged on weeds,
which on many farms are more respon-
sible for impoverished soil than any
crops ever produced upon it. And last
~ not a mouthful of hay or a pound of
grain should ever be sold from this
farm while the process of regeneration
is going on. bat everything produced
on the farm should be consumed there

DEEP FLOWING.

Some men have the notion that deep
blowing is the great means of keeping
up the fertility of the soil and raising
big crops. this notion perhaps growing
out of the old saw:
Pillow deep while sluggards sleep,
And you shall have corn both to sell and
TO keep.

by a good deal Many man has found
that deep blowing has proved a posi-
tive injury to his land 1t is always
that way with gravely or very porous
subsoils. Land with hardpan sub
soil is benefited by subsoiling rather
than by deep blowing Flowing to an
average depth of four inches. With an
extra deep plowing once in five or six
years to the depth of six inches. proves
to be the best treatment for all prairie
soils of black loan on clay formation.
We have never vet known a deeper

the crop yield and have known it many

promoted and surface drainage best

made in the case of root crops sugar
