FALL SPRAYING.

Bulletin No. 254 Of the State Ex-
|rlment Station, at Geneva, n. Y,
Ids out a little prospect of relief to
F orchardist who finds spring all too

his scale-infested trees. The re-
It's OF extensive tests seem to show
t fall spraying with sulphur washes
safe upon harder varieties of fruit
les and as effective as spring spray

appear to promise a shortening
time and decrease of trouble in
Fparation Of an effective compound.

Potash and Phosphate Essential.

According to tests made at the va
r1ous Southern experiment stations
n by farmers themselves who have
Dought nigh grade fertilizers Of
known quality from reliable firms.
potash and phosphates are especially
valuable to the Southern farmer when
land is well supplied with vegetable
matter through the medium of barn
yaro manure or green crops. The
1acC That fertilizers frequently O
unsatisfactory on the farm is direct
Iy due in nearly every instance IN
the farmer buying something which
Is not what it is represented to be.
FOR example, he frequently buys acid
phosphate which is said to contain
twenty or twenty-five per cent of
pnosphoric acid, but of this amoun+
probably only twelve or fifteen ne,.
cent. is available, the remainder bo-
ing reverted citrate soluble or in
soluble, etc. But as he is unfamiliar
with the terms used in an ANALYSIS of
ACID phosphates, he is not in a nosi-
ton to buy intelligently and Sc is
deceived. He finds the fertilizer nm
SATISFACTORY and therefore concludes
mat acid phosphate is of no service
on his soil. He might possibly have
the same experience with potash or
with nitrogen, and yet in every ina
stance his conclusions would be en-
t1rely wrong. 1t is to the interest of
the farmer to inform himself on these |
points and only to use high grade |
goods of guaranteed quality and mt
up by the most reliable firms. Chean
sooos with a low percentage guaran-
cee>o1 plant food are always. unsatis-

people to be dissatisfied with com

Three denominations.

There are three things ON farms
that are denominations.
The three are mean teams, rusty
tools, and crooked rows. These three
evils are the farmers own fault. A
good team a be had at any price.
II o have a runaway team
you have yourself to blame. They
show their 'raisin'." Treat them
kindly and they will treat you right.
A team that you cannot trust is not
a team for the farm. Get rid of
runaway" horses.
Get f1rst-class tools and keep them
in first-class condition. You have
see While out in the country a pillow
mere, a harrow there, and a cultiva-
FOR yonder, and mowers and binders

Won't there be a hppy time when
the farmer who left his tools and ma
chinery out in the weather starts to
farm? Won't his old plow She'd
the soil rapidly?,
Won't his cultivator shoYels work
smooth? Well, I guess not. 1t will
take several days securing and in
that time he has lost more religion
than he can get back in a years
time. Keep tools in the shelter.
Some farmers make rows so
crooked that they cannot follow
them and they blame the team, the
tools, 1.-The old boy" and all things ON
earth except the man who laid off
the rows.
Straight rows tell the world Won
love to farm and you love it enough
to give your best attention to keen
the rows straight. Keep your rows
on a bee line Oh a level piece of land
comparatively so. If land has ter
races follow them.
Three points more and I am done.
Get 4 good team. Get good tools.
Make straight rows and see how
much easier it is to farm.-R. d.

South respond more or less freely to
the use OF fertilizers. On all the soils
nitrogen is needed, though more In
the form OF cowpeas and barnyard
manure, that is something that will
give humus to the soil and put it in
condition to respond to the use of
potash and phosphates. The sandy,
lighter soils of which there are large
areas, respond freely to the use of
potash, and to phosphates as well.
All soils cultivated in orchards and

The Clover Crop.

1t is not advisable as a rule to
u a crop OF clover seeded in the
spring for hay. In a very wet seas
on 1t will sometimes be the better
practice to do this, but as a rule
light ~pasturing late in the fall after
1t has become well established will
be the better practice. Grazing helps
TO keep the growth in check and
throws more strength into the roots,
n Of course if you can get a good
strong root development, the chances
are that you will maintain the stand
through the winter and get an ex-
c~eptionally good crop of hay the
next season.
One "a certainly damage his
ground by blowing it too wet. The
soil is very much like a sponge. You
observe hat when the rainfall is
abundant the ground becomes wet
n soggy, as it were, and if you
pillow it in this condition, the parti-
Giles of rock of which it is composed
are run together and form a hard
lump or clod. It takes a great deal
of work to break this lump of soil
up; though Of course severe freezing
VIII help to pulveriZe it. But you
can never count on getting a freeze
to do the work just at the right
time, and by blowing your land wet
there is great dangav Of putting it in
bad mechanical condition, and we all
realize that a soil in good filth will
certainly grow larger crops because

plant roots and moisture can pene-
trate it with greater ease. Land
should never be plowed when Sc
wet that it will not fall in a fiaky
condition from the moldboard as it
is turned over. Winter blowing
the water follows along in the
furroW is a great mistake. You are
simply sleeking over and compact
Ing the subsoil and making a hard
pan, as it were, at a depth of 6 or s
inches through which the roots of
plants can hardly penetrate, and
your soil is so shallow that instead |
OF making a great reservoir for wat |
er to supply the needs of the grow |
ing crop next season, you only have |
a little shallow surface, say from 6
to s inches deep, from which the
plant must draw by far the larger
part Of its supply of moisture. Deep
thorough tillage and the opening of
the pores of the soil is the roper
policy to- pursue and wet blowing
will never favor the development of
these very desirable conditions in
your soil.
If your ridge woodland is at all
why not try a mixture of Or
chard grass, blue grass and white
ioVer This will make you an ex-
;ellent pasture if it does well. The
and underbrush should be
hlnned out before seeding and the
eed cover with a light harrow. No
should be permitted during
first season. If your land will

'est thing you can do is to try Ber-
nuda, though it will not prove salts
