Writers for this department. practi-
cal and skilful men, have urged from
time to time the necessity for applica
lions of fertilizers which would not
only supply the needs of the growing
crop but give back to the soil all that
was taken from the natural stored up
supply. In other words, give to the
soil more than you take from it, and
thus not only keep up its fertility but
Increase it. Analyses have shown that
the average farm soil contains much
more of the three plant foods than the
crops could use in long period of
gears, yet it can only be made avail
able for use by the process of decay
and by constantly stirring it. For this
reason, putting humus in the soil loos-
ems some portion of the natural fertill-
ger in the soil, plant cultivation loos-
ems another element OF plant food, and
the application of certain chemicals
Ioosens still other elements.
This being the case it is plain that
fertilizlng must be done with the idea
in mind of bringing to ones use the
lOcheu-ln Iefullty III tue SOIL rather
than (wholly) supplying fertilizers for
the benefit of the growing plant. 1t is
not possible TO go over the subject OF
soil chemistry in these short items. but
it is hoped that enough is said from
time to time TO induce farmers to want
to know more and to take up the study
Of this branch of the work in earnest.
Surely no part Of farming is more i'm
portant Taking the country through,
1t is safe TO say that the farmer who
best understands soil chemistry, even
though his knowledge does not extend
beyond the soil on his own farm, is the
one who Is carrying on the work with
the greatest success - indianapolis

Early Seeding OF Glover,

The best time to SOW clover is after
| the snow has gone off and the ground
has frozen just enough to cause the
surface TO become rough and honey
combed. Seed scattered on such sur
face will naturally find the lowest
places or fall to the bottom of the cell
like crevices. and when n thnw comes.
be so deeply covered that none will
grow until spring weather has really
arrived The stand will therefore he
even. whereas II the seed were sown on
the snow, the snow may 80 off quickly
or with rain and carry much of the
seed to the low places, there to grow
in great punches. On clay loans, or
soils that will freeze apart. is where
this method of seeding should be prac-
ticed. The sowing should cease, how
ever. the moment the ground begins
TO thaw, as the seed will then stick to
the ground wherever it falls and fail
to get sufficiently covered up. Seeding
after rain, when the surface is
smooth and packed, is likewise unad-
visable. And what IL the proper con-
ditions by freezing are not brought
about? In that case one should wait
until the wind and sun later in the
spring cause the ground to crack al
most as muck as it does from freezing.
Medium red clover is preferable for
general purposes. four quarts of seed
per acre sullicing where the ground is
in good condition and fertile, while
from five to six quarts are none too
much If it Is somewhat thin. 1t may
he seeded with either rye, wheat or
barley. If with the last named, the
ground should be plowed in the fall
to insure a firm seed bed: this will
hold moisture better. and the young
clover plants, in consequence. not be
liable to suffer so much from drouth.
Indeed, barley is thus most excellent
to seed with, the straw, which grows
short and thin, not shading the ground
so much as some other grains do. Take
oats, for instance. While clover will
readily come up among them and start
we'll ultimately it is more or less re-
tarded by the growth of the straw and
the ripening of the grain and often the
oats are so heavy that it is entirely
smothered out. Hence the reason why
some farmers fail to get n good stand
of clover.-Fred o. Sibley, in The
Epltomist.

Incrensinr Fnrm NnIno-.

If every farm owner would look upon
his farm as the merchant does upon
his stock of goods as something to be
improved as his business grows, farm
values would increase wonderfully
fast. If the average farm will do no
more for its owner than feed his fam
lily and furnish him money for taxes
and scant clothing there is something
wrong with the farm or the farmer.
OF course there are seasons when this
is all that may be got out of year of
farm work. but it ought not to con
tinue from year to year; If 1t does there
is, as we have said, something wrong.
If the farm is running down, if the
stock is deterioratlng instead of inn
proving, if the buildings remain un-
painted year after year, and if the
crops are growing smaller instead of
larger, then we are not Keeping up our
salable stock and enlarging it, and our
farm value is growing less instead of
greater. Too many of us are farming
nowadays because we have to, because
We know no other business. If we
would use the same energy, the same
brains and have the same hopefulness
and faith in our business that the mer-
chant has in his we would find a way
Of making the business grow or we
would getout of it.-Indianapolis News.

On starting into business with ducks
the inexperienced are apt to find they
nre running short of food long before
spring shows signs Of returning. In
summer it is quite true ducks forage
and pick up the greater part of their
food. This is especially true in case
they have access to n running stream,
and can get young frogs, minnows and
water bugs. But there is danger of
their being killed by the turtles, so
great care is necessary If they run at
large TO prevent their being carried off
by beasts of prey. On the other hand,
IL ducks are confined they eat an un-
accountable amount of food if it is set
before them in the form of corn, wheat
or rye, and one thinks of the express
