Mexican variety. 1t is one of the
sweetest kinds and bears a good sized
ear for small growing sort. The ears
will be ready for picking from ten TO
twelve weeks from time OF planting,
and the bearing season will last ABOUT
a month. When planting handful Oh
commercial fertilizer rich in nitrogen
is a good addition to the hill, as corn
is hungry for both food and cultivation.
The lemon cucumber is small anu
round like a lemon, and is credited
with having finer flavor than all the
other varieties of cucumberS. IL mas
a thin skin and the crispness, tender
ness and sweetness are all that could
be desired. 1t seems to lack the Dlt-
terness of the common cucumber. IL
requires rich mellow soil and good cul-
tiyation. All cucumbers grow best IN
cool moist weather, but touch OIL
frost Will kill them. the vines are
very sensitive and cannot stand bruls-
ing, so the fruit should be cut with a
sharp knife, not pulled or twisted from
the stem. If none is allowed to rlpen
they will produce longer. Ihose III

are superior in quality to those gamer
ed under the heat of the sun and Will

Large yellow tomatoes are not 10 De
had at almost any store. II is a pc
culiar condition that this fruit, which
is so satisfactory that few home gar
dens are complete without them,
should be allowed to pass by unnotlc-

sliced with the red tomatoes. For
stewing they make as good a dish as
do the red ones.
Celeriac is much priced IN the oio
world, but it is little known to natlVe-
born Americans. 1t deserves to De
better known. 1t is form OF the Gel
cry species, in which the root is en-
larged like small tuber, and this tu-
Der is the edible part. The plant Is
dwarf and celery-like in appearance
but needs no blanching. 1t is grown
like celery in so Tar as seeding, trans
planting and tillage are concerned. The
plants. when set out from the hot-bed,
are given or inches OF space IN the
row, and the rows are only Tar enough
apart to allow of convenient tlllage.

Value of the Farm Manure.

For permanently improving the crop
producing capacity OF soils there Is 10
material that compares with farm lna-
nure, says Prof. Harry Snyder Many
stock farmers appreciate its value
but too frequently it is moderated by
the grain farmer. According to ana
lysis the fertility in manure, II pur-
chased in commercial forms, would pc
worth from $500 to $500 per ton. Thls
is. perhaps, a higher value tnan many
nractical farmers would be willing to
assign to it. The permanent results
secured from it's use, however, are
often sufficient to make it worth more
than $500 per ton. In case worn
out soil receives a dressing OF eight
tons per acre of farm manure, there
will be an increase the first year OF
from 20 to 25 bushels OF corn. In
average years this would be worth at
least $500. The second year atter the
application of the manure, six bushels
more of wheat is secured, which, at
average prices, would be worth S4.oo:
The application of the manure would
insure a much better and more even
stand of clover and might be the de-
Gliding factor as to whether any clover
at all was secured. DeCduSe VI Ih0
manure the clover would yield one ton
more per acre, which, as forage alone,
would be worth $500 or more per
ton, to say nothing of the fertility
which the clover had added to the soil.
After the crop of clover, the ma
nured land will increase in crop pro-
ducing power, and if wheat is then
raised at least 8 bushels more per
acre can be secured than on old worn
out land, and this alone would mean
$500 more per acre. Following the
wheat, from II to 15 bushels per acre
more of oats can be grown, which is
worth $500. The increase in the five
crops, due to the dressing OF tons OF
farm manure and the production OF
clover, is alone worth $500, making
the value of the manure $500 per ton
distributed over five years, equivalent
to 60 cents per ton as the annual crop
producing value of the manure. These
are not excessive increases In yield;
in many cases even larger returns are
secured from the application of ma
nure and the production of clover on
WORKOUT land. Thus it will be seen
that it is a conservative estimate to
consider the manure alone worth at
least $500 per ton, because Of the in
creased yield secured from its applica-
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-03-01

ton, and this additional yield is Sc
cured with little additional expense in
working the soil.
Not only is the manure worth at
least $500 per ton for increasing the
crop producing value of old grain
lands, but the forage crops that are
grown on the MANFRED lands are worth
more for feeding purposes than those
grown on hungry and WORKOUT soils.
Experiments at the Minnesota expert
ment station have shown that timothy
hay and corn fodder grown on manur-
ed and clover-rotated soils contain rs
per cent more protein than similar
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1906-03-01

crops grown on poor soils. A poor
soil not only produces small crop,
but it is also liable to produce one of
inferior market and Feeding values.
When both the increased feeding value
and the larger yields are considered,
manure certainly has a much higher
value than generally credited with.
