For Gown ImproYement.

Under average methods Of seed
selection and field conditions there is
from year TO year more or less de-
terioration in all varieties Of corn.
This running out" or losing in quail
ity and producing power" Of variety
q largely due to mixing and careless
selection. Corn growers are also find
ing that much trouble and loss are
resulting from seed corn harvested
late In the fall. They recognize that
the best results can be obtained only
when the seed is selected early and
stored in a proper manner. For these
reasons corn growers should employ
methods in selecting, planting and
harvesting which will give seed Of
the highest quality and strongest
vitality.
One way in which every corn grow
er can do much to improve and main
tain the quality in variety OF corn
q by planting a seed corn patch.
For this patch he should select about
twenty-five OF the best and most typi-
cal ears of corn Of the seed to be
planted this year. A termination
test should be made OF each ear IN
order that no weak ears may be
planted. Shell on and discard the
small and irregular butt ana tin
grains. Then shell the ears together
and mix thoroughly. At the usual
time OF planting plant this corn on
the south or west side Of the field

mia d Thin oat SOWING.

The rate OF seeding oats is still a
matter of experiment. 1t has been
noticed that IN certain seasons the
conditions are much more favorable
for stooling than others. When the
ground is strong enough and the con
ditions are right It may be safe to
practice thin seeding. and this is Just
the thing the majority of oat grow
ers are doing, But English growers
have secured wonderful results, and
they Invariably practice thick seed
ing. One other thing: Don't start on
light seed this year. With good
plump seed one can take chances on
two bushels OF seed an acre, but this
year an oats are light and chafy.

Amongst the many new fertilizers
which are constantly offered for sale,
rock potash has been mentioned and
has been given q number of trials.
The obtained results diner somewhat
according to the soil and its more ex-
tensIve and intensive cultivation, but
taken altogether they are not as salts
factory as had been expected. 1859
That more unfayorable' than favor
able results have been obtained and
some adverse criticism has been
heard is not surprising on account OF
the difficult soluble form IN which
the potash is contained in the pow
dered rock. On soils rich in lime and
humus the solubllity of the potash is
fayorably Influenced; on soils poor in
either or both of these constituents,
the effect may hardly have been no
ticeable. yl eti
But that should not discourage us.
The new rock potash, Of which we
have any quantity in our country,
which could take the place of crude
potash salts and would have the adj
ditional advantage Of being free of
chlorin, may have the same fate as
some Of the fertilizers which were
unsatisfactory when they were first
placed upon the market, but through
some slight improvement have be-
come valuable fertilizers.
AS the results which obtained
from the crude material were not
favorable, it occurred to me II the
effect could not be markedly inn
proved by treating the powdered rock
with lime the more as soils which are
comparatively poor in potash are gem
orally also poor in lime. AS the lime
could only have a quick effect on the
powdered rock If It came in close con-
tact with the rock particles, l mixed
the powdered rock with waste, to the
consistency OF molasses, the air
slaked lime also and let both run to-
gether into a vessel, in which the
mixture was kept moist for week.
The proportion which / used was q
half pound of burned lime to three
pounds OF the powdered rock.
Whether other proportions give bet
ter results cannot tell. I have not
tried them. The mixture dries quick
~ and forms a light white powder,
which is easy to apply and gives ex-
cellent results.
The so prepared rock potash, which
contains about fifteen per cent. Of
lime, will be very valuable for Inn
proving sandy soils, which, besides
being poor in clay are generally also
poor in lime. In improving sandy
soils we have to deal with some or all
Of the following properties
/. The poor water-holding power.
2. The poor absorption power.
8. The lack of lime.
4. The lack of humus,
8. insufficient plant food constitu-
ents.
The prepared rock potash viii inn
prove some OF these properties and
viii be, without doubt. IN the near
future a valuable addition to the ef-
fectiye fertilizers which are offered
for sale at the present time.-H.

they never do their best, and in damp
seasons, or during a humid spell Of

which afford protection from the
rough winds Of winter. II, however.
trees or shrubbery form the protec-
ton, the beds must be far enough re-
moved to be safe from the encroach-

rob the soil Of the moisture and fer.

The soil should be dug to the deBt6

two inches OF old, well-rotted stable
manure. In the absence Of manure,
bone-dust is an excellent substitute;

the adhesiveness Of the clay, causing
It to cling closely to the stem, pre-

rive a certain nourishment from the

gardeners spade in a two-ineh layer
of unleached ashes in autumn, so that
the SHOWS and rains may reach It By

touch the stems. An inch layer Of

neither OF these should be applied
