PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART.
Camera Pictures Much More Than Me.
chanical Reproduction.

Few persons could be found who
would deny the claims Of photography
to rank among the fine arts, when
skillully used and properly controlled,
since the photography of of to-day Is
something more than mechanical re-
production. The individuality OF the
photographer is being expressed IN
his work almost as much as is that OF
the painter. The painter still has the
advantage, for while he may give us
an impression fuller than that made by
nature upon the eye, the photographer
can deal only with that which is OBJ
served with such unerring fidelity and
skill by a mechanical eye. Compost
ton is therefore one of the necessary
principles to the photographer, who
thus supplies the mechanical eye with
q mind, yet he must study lighting at
different hours Of the day and varying
weather conditions that he may know
the best effects to be obtained. Many
otherwise successful photographers
need to realize that scientific accuracy
Is not necessarily artistic truth, &c
that, while one actualizes. the definite
sharpness may be softened and the ct
feet enhanced.-Home Magazine.

FARrlER AND PLANTER
BACTERIA BLIGHT.
Why Tomatoes Can Not Be Grown on
Some Southern Lands.

The southern tomatoes are subject
TO what is called bacteria blight. The
bacteria, like seed, have been LETT IN
the land from year to year, until II
becomes a permanent pest, and IL
must be starved out before 1t Will
grow healthy plants. The application
of 300 pounds of German kainlt per
acre would be very beneficial in aid
ing to kill out the bacteria. Examine
the stems of the tomato vines and
small knots will be found on them,
and in cutting those elevated spots
on the vines they will be found full
of LIQUID substance resembling water
core In apples. The older leaves turn
yellow and hang down the stems. Inc
green stems become brown and the
lower leaves become yellow and Shiny.
This same disease attacks the Irish
potato.
The remedy is in spraying the
plants about three times with Bor-
deaux mixture. Don't wait to see the
disease upon the plants, but spray
with sulphate of copper and lime when
the tomatoes are in good growth ABOUT
two weeks after transplanting. In
two weeks, if there is a rain. spray the
second time with Bordeaux mixture
and this will destroy the bacteria
The spray is more a preventive, as II
will check the disease, and the plants
may remain perfectly sound and ripen
their crop If sprayed about four times
The turnip is subject to a disease
| called downy mildew, which is a fun
gous disease. but has different name
from that of the tomato. By making
a spray of five pounds of sulphate O
copper and five pounds of quick lime
and sprinkling over the turnips tn
fungi will be destroyed. These ar
the best remedies known for kiflinl
all fungous diseases.

Improving the Garden.

Winter is the period for killing In
sects in the garden spot. Plow up the
garden now, throwing the cocoons on
top of the soil and the sleeping In
sects within will freeze and turn to
a fertilizer, in place of coming to life
next spring to eat the vegetables and
increase its family by the hundreds.
Turn the soil so as to throw on top
at least two inches of new subsoil.
1t is advisable to apply barrel or
two of lime to the garden plot. Lime
is always wanted among the yegeta-
bles. Cabbage not only needs large
quantity of nitrogen, but also phos-
phate, which is lime in another shape.
Onions will consume a large per
cent of potash. If the reader has
an abundance Of wood ashes they Will
be worth 20 cents per 100 pounds in
supplying potash for the onions and
Irish potatoes. All plants that have
bulb that grows under ground de
mand large portions of potash. Re
member this fact.
Many gardens give poor returns, In
different vegetables, because theil
owners do not place upon them the
ingredients adapted to the nature o
| the plants attempted to be grow
| thereon. Pillow the garden now; adj
lime to sweeten the soil; put on ashe
| and phosphates to produce health
| plants and bulbs.

To Increase Depth of Soil.

Turning two inches of fresh subsoil
on top is the proper way to increase
the depth of the SOIL The advantage
of putting the subsoil on top is that
those two inches exposed to the at
mosphere increase the circulation to a
greater depth in the land and add two
inches to the cultivatable land. An
other benefit is that the two inches
thrown on top will receive elements
of fertility from the air that will add
nitrogen to those two inches which
will be worth as much as S. per acre.
Nature does contribute a small
amount to the nitrogen fund of the
soil, and it thus slowly improves q
poor piece Of ground. The ammonia
escaping from different sources diff
fuses itself through the atmosphere;
nitric acid is formed by the electric
sparks passing through the air during
thunder showers, which will be absorb.
ed by the two inches of subsoil on
the top, capacitating it for plants. The
atmosphere will affect the two inches
on the top similar to clover roots, in.
creasing The heterogeneous nodules un.
der the soil.
Turn at once your land two inches
deeper than ever broken before, and
let the mineral subsoil on top become
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by the rains
and freezes, and your land will grad
ually grow deeper and richer.

Make an Asparagus Bed.

Have you asparagus on your table!
II not. listen to this talk, act and you
may enjoy one of the great Injuries
of eating.
Asparagus is one of the first vegeta-
bles of spring; it is hardy plant,
and when established will last for
years. An ounce of seed will plant
about SO feet of rows and furnish 400
plants. Fertilize the handmade as
rich as possible-drill in rows 16
inches apart so pillow can be run be-
tween rows. The plants will be ready
to transplant the second year to their
permanent places. Transplant in April
of the second year.
Set plants six inches below the sur
face of the soil. Set the plants four
feet apart in rows so as to cultivate
with pillow or bull tongue. Put plants
every 20 inches in rows. The tops
can be cut the second year. Cutting
should cease about the first of June
Conover Colossal is among the best
varieties to SOW.
In North Carolina experienced gar
deners have made an acre produce as
high as $500.

Alsike Glover and Tall Meadow Dat
Grass.

Gattman, Miss.-When FIELDS are
seeded with alsike clover or tall mead
ow oat grass for winter pasturages,
do seed from the grass or clover not
sprout and interfere with the spring
and summer crop? How should al
sike clover and tall meadow oat grass
be planted and when to plant? Do
winter turf oats yield as much grain
as red rust proof in the state OF Mis-
sissippi?
EMMETT WILLIAMS.
II there Is any obpjectiop to seed
falling from the alsike clover or tall
meadow oat grass in the fall and ger.
mating in the spring, we are not aware
of it. All animal plants do the same,
and that is their way of keeping up
the family. Turn the land deeper than
usual, putting under the trash, leaves
and weeds as much as possible. to
nitrify during winter. These may add
/ IS worth of humus per acre to the
land. In March, in Mississippi, disc
the plat three or four inches deep and
SOW the alsike and tall meadow oat
grass, narrowing the seed into the
land. Two borrowings will not be too
much.
The yield of all kinds of oats in the
south have been very low, being from
twenty to thirty bushels, but We have
known sixty to eighty bushels to be
grown in North Alabama per acre
There is little difference in the yielt
of the winter and the rust proof varie
ties. The secret of success Is in thu
fertilization and the preparation o
the land.-Southern Agriculturist.

Remarkable Crop of Japan Clover.

The spontaneous development OF
the Japan clover plant in the south
has been worth millions of dollars to
the people thereof. The Jackson
(Tenn.) Daily Sun contains the sub
joined facts:
Here is little experience of Mr..
H. Gilbert, residing on R. F. D. No. 3.
running out of Jackson:
"Mr. Gilbert last spring was blowing
up a field TO plant millet for hay, and
as the ground was becoming hard and
dry he left about two acres in the CEN
ter unplowed and unseeded. This
two-acre patch sprang up with a
growth of Japan clover. After the
heavy rains of few weeks ago, which
damaged and destroyed so much pea
vine hay, were over, Mr.. Gilbert put
his moving machine into the Japan
clover and cut and cured it. 1t made
73 bales. for which Mr.. Gilbert found
ready sale in Jackson at GO cents
per bale. The two-acre crop yielded
him $3.50, or $3.50 per arcre.
How is this for a crop that comes
up like a weed and needs no culSiva
ton?
Can our cotton growers beat it fol-
net profit?
"In regard to the value of the hay
MI. Gilbert says he has put 1t into thu
hangers of the horses and put cor;
with it, and the horses would no
touch the corn until they had finishes
the hay.
| Another thing that can be sail
about Japan clover is that is stores nj
trogen, an important fertilizer, in tn
soil, while cotton exhausts the land.
