PREPARING FOR CLOVER CROP
On Thin Soil II 10 Well TO Break Che
Ground Preceding Sprins-Grow
Fertillzlna Crops.

II the aim Is to get clover and grass
on thin soil 1t Is often good plan
to break the ground the preceding
spring and to grow a fertilizing crop
during the summer that can be cultt
vated and then disked into the sur.
face soil. When cowpeas can be
grown they are excellent for this pur.
pose. On very thin land have got.
ten the finest clover SOC in this way.
Expensive way? someone asks. Well.
any way OF covering thin soil with
q heavy clover sod is not inexpensive.
I like the plan. The tillage kills weed
seeds and frees fertility. The vines
are chopped in the surface before they
become tough. The humus Is just
where 1t Is needed, and the soil is
firm. II one prefers, rape may be
sown the first of September, and then
the land fitted for clover In the spring
without the plow. Leave the vege-
table matter at the surface. Or, tim.
othy may be sown in the fall, and clo'
yer added In the spring. Or wheat
may be seeded and ccloyer in the
spring.

Bedding Sweet Potatoes

A citizen asks for information
about bedding sweet potatoes. About
the first of March is the proper
time. Prepare the bed by throw
ing out the earth a foot deep. Dig
up the next layer and break it 6ne.
Spread stable manure over the bot
tom and few cotton seed on top
of that. Cover that with three
inches of fine earth. Place the po-
tatoes on that as close as possible
without letting them touch each
other. Then cover with three or
four inches of fine earth. The next
thing is to cover them with plank
so that rain water will not get in
the bed. Get plank two or three
feet longer than the bed and ele-
vate one end so that the water will
be easily carried off. The potato
will get moisture enough from the
ground to aid in the sprouting. The
heat generated in the stable ma
nure and cotton seed will bring
about early sprouting. AS soon as
first plants begin to appear take off
the plank cover and let the bed
take the rains. Often apparently
sound potatoes rot after they are
bedded. Sometimes the cause of
that Is the cold rains which fall in
March. Covering the bed prevents
all that. If you wait till the mid
die of April to bed potatoes you
can smooth the top Of the ground
with rake, place the potatoes
down and cover with fine earth
about three inches deep. 1t will
not be many days before they be-
gin to show above nd.-Spar-

:aARURE FOR CABBAGE
Deep, Rich, Mellow Soil Is Of
Importance.
Winter Variety 10 Mostly Grown on
Early Potato Ground-Hosheds Are
Prepared In February and Seed
Sown In Frames.

Cabbage likes a deep. rich, mellow
soil For summer cabbage, a mellow,
sand loan will bring the earliest
crop. The early June cabbage that
Is shipped to the Baltimore markets
Is mostly. grown on the deep river
bottom lands Of the lower portion of
Baltimore county, says the Baltimore
American. A large portion of this
cabbage is grown from night soil
which, after fermentation, is sprinkled
along the rows, just before the plants
are set in the fall. If this fertilizer
is thoroughly mixed through the soil
1t is said not to injure the quality of
the cabbage. For the fall and winter
cabbage crop, plant on deep, mellow,
red clay soil. AS the value of the
cabbage is in large solid heads, the
best fertilizer to use is that of rot
ted manure from granted horses and
cattle, with the addition Of 1000
pounds Of high grade vegetable
guano sown to the acre and we'll har-
rowed in before planting. Winter cab
bage is mostly grown on early potato
ground This land, being heavily
dressed with fertilizer for the potato
crop-not more than 800 to 800
pounds of fertilizer will be needed for
each acre planted. The fertilizer Is
nearly always sown In the drill. The
drill rows are then covered in and the
ridges rolled. Large growers now
use the planter; the machine sets
and waters each plant, very few
plants fail to grow. Plants set by
machine are better firmed in the
ground than plants set by hand. The
old method Of starting early plants
in the fall and wintering them in a
cold frame has now beer abandoned
in favor of sowing the seed in hot
bed. The hotbeds are prepared IL
February and the seed sown in the
frames by the middle of the month.
When the plants are two inches in
height they are transplanted into cold
frames. The plants are given abun.
dance of air in the middle of the day,
but we'll protected by glass and thick
straw mats when the weather is cold
and stormy. In the New England
states early plants are raised in hot
houses heated by hot water. Expert
gardeners grow large quantities OF
early and late cabbage for their retail
trade. Truckers grow for the whole.
sale markets. Their principal crops
are kale, spinach, tomatoes, corn and
eggplants.

START HORSE RADIsH EARLY
Make Soil Loose and at Least to

Well-Rotted Manure.
(By r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

".
Horse radish should be started very
early in the spring. 1t consists of one
large root from which springs the
crown and a large number of smaller
roots.
These roots, small as a lead pencil,
or larger. are cut off into lengths OF
from four to six inches and should be
placed in the ground with the thick
end up.
The should be planted about three
inches deep and the soil above them
dressed down firmly to prevent water
from reaching them before they start
to grow.
Make the soil loose and at least
depth of ten inches. Work into it

apart and at intervals Of about Is In

quent cultivation. A row six feet
long will supply family with all it
needs. The plant will be ready for
use early in the fall and 1t makes its
best growth then.
It should be dug late in the fall after
all other crops are off, the small root
tops removed and stored In sand IN
the cellar or buried in pits In the
ground until wanted for use.

Buekwheat Crops.

No other crop will bring in better
return in the northern states for the
time it occupies the ground than
buckwheat. 1t is put in after the
other crops have been planted and
are growing. 1t is the best grain to
raise to subdue a patch of trouble
some weeds and to starye out worms
in th. soil. It comes handy to SOW
or vacant pieces Of ground which
