This fertilizer may be secured already prepared or may be mixed at home. The follow ing combination will make satisfac- tory fertilizer for home garden and may be applied at the rate of ,O0O to 10000 pounds to the acre:
 150 pounds nitrate of soda.

 1t should be borne in mind that con- mercial fertilizers will not produce satisfactory results unless the soil is we'll supplied with humus. In fact large quantities of fertilizers are just flied only where the soil is in good me chanicaf condition. Many soils in the South that have been in cultivation for long time are in a poor mechani- cal condition and need humus, which can be supplied by turning under green crops of course manure.

PREPARING THE SOIL
 OF THE GARDEN

Washington, D. C., April 14.-The soil that is to be used for vegetables should be thoroughly prepared before planting. A deep seed bed is desir- able, and when an area that has never been plowed more than inches deep must be used it should be deepened by gradually increasing the depth Of blowing for a period of three or four years until the desired depth is at tained.
 Clay soil should be plowed in the fall if there is no danger of wash ing, so as to get it in good mecani- cal condition before planting time, In the cooler regions of the South freezing will pulverize the soil, while in regions where freezes do not occur the pulverizing must be done by har- rowing and cultivation. Sandy loans or soils that contain a large amount of humus should be plowed far enough in advance to allow the soil to settle before planting.
 Thorough preparation by blowing narrowing, rolling, or dragging will lessen the work of cultivation. It is not sufficient to smooth and level

Manures and Fertilizers.

The soil of vegetable growing should be rich and well supplied with humus. Barnyard or stable manure is the best fertilizer, because it furnishes both plant food and humus. An applica- tion of 20 to 30 tons of manure to the acre is very satisfactory, and on some soils this application will need but lit tie reinforcing with commercial ferti- lizers. The manure should be applied far enough in advance of planting time to allow it to decay. When coarse manure is used, it should be applied after blowing and should be we'll mixed with the soil by narrowing On many soils it is advisable to apply commercial fertilizer, especially phos-
 plates, in addition to the manure. An application of 300 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre will be sufficient Sandy soils often need T little additional potash, which can be applied economically in the form of muriate or sulphate of potash at the rate of 200 to 400 pounds to the acre An application of 100 pounds of nj trate of soda will give the plants a start in the spring before the nitrogen in the manure has become available
 Where manure is not available some leguminous crop, such as cow peas, soy beans, vetch, or crimson clo- yer, should be turned under to supply humus and a part of the nitrogen
 Additional fertilizing elements car be applied in the form of commercial
 fertilizers. No definite rule can be given for the kind or quantity of fer. tilizer to be applied. as this varies with the crop and soil. In most eases it is safe to apply 1000 to 2,00C pounds of a high-grade fertilizer tC

the concentrated fire and energy Of a

had seemed to kiss the canvas. The
