Snow ms a Fertilizer.

From experiments conducted at OF
tawa, in Canada, 1t appears that there
are some slight grounds for the widely
accepted opinion among agriculturfsts
that snow is a direct fertilizer, says the
Pharmaceutical Journal. 1t Is found
to contain total nitrogen equivalent in
round numbers to about a pound per
acre of land covered by an average
winter snowfall in hat district. The
amount of nitrogen as free ammonia
was high, but f%uctuated greatly from
.OS2 to $50 parts per million: the nitro
gen as albuminoid ammonia ranged
from .O33 to .O7S parts per million. and
the nitrogen a nitrites and nitrates
ranged from OPT to 800 parts per
million. The average of twelve deter
limitations, from February 81, 1907. to
May 4, was: Nitrogen, as free ammo
mia, .256 as albuminoid ammonia .052,
and as nitrates and nitrites .163 part
per million. The value of as a
direct fertilizer would appear. so far
as the nitrogen content is concerned.

One of the best forage crops, when
the prospects for hay are not very
promising. is peas and cats. The ease
with which 1t can be put in also recon-
mends It. AS soon as the ground is
fit to plant spread broadcast upon the
land a bushel and n half Of peas to the
acre and plow under to the depth Of
five inches. AS soon as the peas be-
gin to come up, sow owe them the
same amount of oats per acre and
drag in. going over in both directions,
30 they will be thoroughly covered.
When the oats are in bloom is the
time to harvest If you depend upon
them for hay. Cure as you would
clover and you will have a fine hay
that everything likes. 1t is especially
good for cows and hogs, and the peas
and chaff furnish as fine a feed for
laying hens In the winter as l have
ever used.
AS a green feed for COWS and hogs
this has no equal, as it is ready just
at the time when you begin to be short
of pasture, and for the farmer who
keeps his cows up It win aid in keeping
the milk record at the highest notch.
If more farmers would try it as a hay
crop just once they would recognize its
wonderful value as a forage crop.

Com IN crciRI Fertilizer.

1t would be much better if the users
Of commercial fertilizers would get into
the habit of adapting the fertilizer to
the soil instead of seeking a fertilizer
that is adapted to the crop grown. The
object in using fertilizer should be the
building VI of the soil rather than
growing n certain crop, and Il fertilizer
which will balance UP he plant food
already in the soil is an economical fer
tlliZer to use on any crop, since the
effects of it's application will show on
any crop that is adapted to the locality.
A farmer cannot afford to buy all Of
the plant food that his crop will use in
its growth, then why should he buy
anything hat his soil will furnish to
the crop in sufficient quantities? True.
some crops will take more Of a certain
element of plant food than another will.
Some crops have the power Of getting
more food from a soil thai Others have
1t is, better to remedy this by adopting
a judiciOus rotation of crops in which
leSumes will come in frequently. The
legumes will supply the nitrogen and
help to keep up the humus supply.
1t is unfortunate for the farmer that
the fertilizer manufacturers have
adopted the plan of recommending GER
tail mixtures for special crops and
thus to adapt the fertilizer to the crop
rather than to sell the goods on their
merits for the nitrogen, potash and
PHOSPHORUS acid they contain and
leave the farmer to select the goods
best adapted to his soil and conditions.

Neglect OF Drainage.

1t is necessarily to closely study the
physical conditions of soils, that we
may have healthy and tiourishing con
dition Of plants. Through want OF
proper drainage, or other neglect, lane

healthy state, which sooner or later is
reflected In the character of the herb
age growing upon the soil.
The chief danger is probably pool
drainage, with consequent excess O.
water and lack of sufficient oxygen il

in heavy clay soils, and where there i:
an impervious subsoil. In such case:
many Of the feeding roots Of plant!
are killed by suffocation during pro

Very often roots that may just BIZ
forming are killed in a few days, shoulc
the soil become saturated with water
Not only is there a loss of these feed
ing roots, but the vitality of the entire
plant becomes weakened.
Plants growing where the surface /:
caked and packed often suffer from
want of oxygen for the roots. This i:
especially applicable to trees. In suct
cases the annual growth is not only re
tarded, but the plants lose vitality anc

The remedy for such a condition /.
deep and careful cultivation, and the
provision Of some organic fertilizer
This will provide plant food for new
growth of the roots and also lighter
