Prophets of fashion say that we shall

SOIL SICKNESS IN
VEGETABLE GARDEN
Freshly Ground or SIaked Lime
viii Prove an Efficient Cure
for This Trouble.
By w. r. GILBERT,

Complaints are common from com
paratively small and constantly
cropped gardens anent the poornesa
of the produce. Even such a thing as
a cabbage is SO fainthearted as to run
away ON lanky legs as no well behaved
cabbage should.
All this is very annoying to those
who take infinite pains with their gar
dens and go to some expense in get
ting reliable seed.
All this may occur, and does occur,
where ample manure of the barnyard
is applied to keep the soil in fertile
condition.
It is in fact kind Of soil sickness
which ordinary manure cannot over
come, but actually aggravates.
One sees far less Of this in large
gardens for the simple reason that
the larger area gives q much wider
range and rotation of cropping. yet
even here comparisons may often be
drawn between the produce of the
large areas and vegetables under field
cultivation to the distinct advantage
of the latter.
There is fortunately an antidote. fol-
freshly ground or freshly slaked lime
Is an antidote for this. In liberal
dressings It will prove 9 quick and
lasting tonic to the sick soil: and not
only should this be administered when
spring opens, but as far as possible
dressed through crops of cabbage and
similar things during q dry day. and
lightly hoed in.
When lime can DO really obtained in

particular interest; for, travelling about
as l have done, have seen thousands
and thousands of acres of the most
miserable pastures In every part Of
the country, and always hope that
my querist 10 one of those whose poor
pastures ! have seen, and that at last
he is making an effort to do something
toward their improvement
There is nothing on q farm which
can be SO easily and cheaply improved
as pasture. An old saying has 1t that
anything that comes out of the tail
Of cart win improve grass; and al
though there is great deal Of truth
In this remark, yet q little knowledge
OF what the pasture really requires
win help considerably toward improv-
Ing it at low cost.
Newly sown down grasses nearly al
ways require the addition Of nitrogen
to stimulate their growth, both above
and below ground. There is not the
slightest doubt that the best form in
which this can be supplied Is as g
dressing Of farmyard manure, but
where this IL not available, It is aston
ishing what can be done with 100 OF
$50 pounds OF nitrate of soda or 1OC
pounds Of sulphate Of ammonia per
acre, provided the field is grazed and
not moved

couraging the grass by means OF nj

On light lands 1t is advisable to give

is rather low lying, sour ground that

ADVANCE TOWARD
INCREASED YIELDS
Selection Of Best Grain Seeds
Used on Improved Soils Is
Profitable Practice.
CBy PROF. Q. D. cARTER)


Improved soil, improved seed and
plants and more thorough cultivation;
the application of science to agricul-
ture and science Is simply organized
common sense.
The improvement Of seed alone will
come to little, for the use of the most
improved seed on soil low in fertility
or in poor physical condition Will be
disappointing. but good results will
come of planting improved seed on
improved soil.
We have failed to recognize that
among corn plants and among oat and
wheat plants there is just as marked
individuality as among men or among
animals.
When we recognize this character
Istic in plants and select our seed
grain with the thought Of vigor and
prolifcacy Of plant in mind, we are
making a great advance toward larger
yields.
Let the selection of small grain fol-
better seed begin with the tanning
mill; it has been proved that both the
yield and quality of grain can thus BE-
increased.
II we will add to this the selection
of heavy yielding and vigorous grow
ing plants, as we find them in the
field, our yields will far exceed 81
bushels for oats and Il bushels fol
wheat as Is the state average for the
past % years.
A third requisite is better and more
thorough cultivation. including bettei
preparation of the seed bed and bettei
seeding as well as better after cult
vation.
