FALL FLOWING PAYS.
Put Ground In Better Shape for
Spring Seeding.

Put Ground In Better Shape for
Spring Seeding.
I pillow my land very deeply in the
fall and then leave it. 1t absorbs a
good deal Of rain during the winter
and does not wash as badly as II
would were it left packed down. Not
only this, but l usually turn under
some green growth that will decom.
pose during the winter, adding humus
to the soil and improving the physical
condition, writes a correspondent Of
Orange Judd Farmer. II this is left
over till spring 1t will lose much of it's
value as a green manure.
The good start which an early
seeded crop gets is a strong argument
in favor Of fall blowing, for it enables
me to get q goof, strong stand before
the dry, hot months come, when the
crop suffers much from drouth.
From years Of experience, | believe
that land plowed in the spring packs
much worse than that plowed in the
fall, and when plowed In the spring
it is usually a little wet and hard to
handle. / have seen much land
ruined by its owners being crowded
in the spring and thus forced to pillow
when the land was far too wet for
such an operation.

Eqos Absorb odors.

1t is not generally known that the
egg shell is enough porous SO that
bad smells where eggs are kept can
get into the eggs. For this reason
the advice is given not to S disin-
fectants where the strong odors will
come into contact with the eggs. For
tunately the time Of the year when
d~isinfectants are used in the poultry
house need not coincide with the time
when eggs are being laid in large num-
bers. 1t is perfectly feasible to shut
up, the henhouse for some days while
1t is being disinfected, II this occurs
in the summer time. The disinfecting
is for the purpose of destroying in
sects and the germs Of disease, and
this work is best done when the fowls
are shut away from the house. The
warm weather is naturally the time
In which to use strong smelling dis
i%nfectants.

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known In the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone of the plant, is rarely en-
countered in commerce. The petals.
stamens, ETC., are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is of a rich, deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives a pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for it is an acquired one.
and even if this tea could be made
commercially possible, it is doubtful If
1t would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could adj
vantageously take a suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, the tea dust, some of which
is good quality, is not properly
utilized. In Europe it is a regular
article of trade, and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America it is
sold to thousands of cheap restau
rants, who make from it the mixture
of tanic acid, sugar and boiled mill
which they sell as tea" If, as in the
orient, this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from

LINING SOILS.
Make Tests With Blue Litmus Paper
Before Applying Lime.

The acidity or alkalinity Of the soil
may be tested by the use OF blue lit
mus paper, which can be secured OF
any druggist. The litmus test may be
made by moistening a portion of the
soil so that it will stick together, and
inserting the flitmus paper in a cut
made with a knife, and closing the
soil together compactly around the
paper. If within a half hour or less
the litmus paper turns pink the need
of lime is indicated. Where tests are
not made, and the soil has not been
lined for years, it is much safer to
lime than to run the risk Of the alfalfa
or other crops being killed out by
the acidity of the soils. The amount
that should be applied varies with
different soils, clay soils requiring
a heavier application than sandy soils.
On clay soils which have not been
lined In many years about n ton
per acre should be applied. while
soils in which the acidity has been
partially corrected should receive 9
proportionate amount. On sandy OF
humus exhausted soils 1t is not ad
visable to put on more than one thous

FERrILizINe THE SOIL.
Be Sure You Put in What the Plants
VIII Use.

The man that puts into the soil fer.
ulizer wants TO make sure that 1t is
utilized by the plants for which it is
placed in the ground. 1t is possible
to apply barnyard and espe-
cially the chemical fertilizers under
conditions where they will be ineffec-
tive in doing the work they are intend
ed to do. 1t may be taken for granted
that If the fertilizers are placed in dry
soil and the soil remains dry 1t will
do plants no, good. More than that
in the dry soil the destructive chemi-
cal processes will be going on that
will burn up the fertilizers of an or
ganic nature.
When men SOW such chemical fer
telizers on the surface Of the ground
and merely cultivate them in, when
they are cultivating to make a dust
mulch, they are but taking the surest
way to destroy all the fertilizer of an
organic nature as fast at least as it
yields up available plant food. Mois-
ture is needed and a quite constant
supply of it in the form, not of water
such as exists. below the water table,
but such as exists in the soil as film
water around the soil particles.
Mr.. Thomas c. Wallace, who has
spent his life studying fertilizers and
soil questions, has now charge of a
large fertilizer business in California.
He tells the writer that in that state
it is found exceedingly difficult to fer
tilize the grape vineyards. This Is
due to the fact that the vineyards
are on light sandy soil, and the sand
is perfectly dry down sometimes six,
eight and ten inches from the surface.
The moisture and heavier soil is be-
low that. Thousands of grape growers
have put expensive fertilizers into the
surface soil of their vineyards to have
1t do apparently no good. The reason
is that the moisture is not present
that would set it free for the use OF
the plants. The rains that come oc
c~asionally wash very little of this
down to the soil below. 1t is evident
LuaL SUCH lSTLlllLluS hdtS1AoAS as
ground bone will remain for a very
long time in such soil without doing
good. An occasional irrigation also
has little effect in setting loose the
plant food from the stored-up fertiliz
er. If dried blood is put into sucf
soil it is evident that it will soon BIZ
burned up in the dry sand and viii
largely disappear in gas produced BY
its chemical changes. The vineyards
are not cultivated on account of thu
practice of allowing the vines to di'
on the ground without supports.
The same principle holds good IL
