most people do, and yet he often won dered why his garden was so much better than other parts of his farm. He was good farmer and made plen- ty of everything, and to spare. He knew that he made liberal applica- his garden, but was never quite will ing to acknowledge that these made all the difference in the yields.
 Our gardens are usually the rich est spots on the farm, and are so only because we make them so by fertili- zation and cultivation. Every acre in the average farm could be made just as rich if we tried to make it so. We do not consider sufficiently the fac tors which make fertile land. We do not strive to do intensive farming, but rather make it as extensive as our acres will allow When we wish to make an additional bale of cotton, or bushel of corn, we take in more land instead of enriching what is al- ready under cultivation.
 Dr. L. II. Bailey has given in his book, @The Principles Of Vegetable Gardening" some valuable sugges- tions on tke use of commercial fertil- izers. The kind and amount of fer tilizers," he says, 'are to be deter mined by several circumstances: CD The earliness or quickness with which the crop is to be obtained CD the intensity of the operations to which ! the man is committed; (3) the char acter of the land as regards tilth and ] texture; (4) the character of the land as regards richness in plant food; (5) ] the kind or species of crops to be raised" Whatever the condition of I the land or the nature of the crop,
 1t must be fertiIized if the gardener
 meets with success. Competition in
 the truck-groWing business can be
 met in nc other way than by Hber-
 ally fertilizing the ground on which
 the crops grow. Dr. Bailey has wise. l ly said that fertilizers must be ap | piled in excess of the actual needs ! of the plants. It is impossible to dis
 tribute very small quantity of fertil
 izers over a large area.
 Vegetables are such rapid growing 1 plants that one need not fear that
 much of the fertilizer will leach ou |

6. FERTlLIZERS AND THE HOME
 GARDEN.

A farmer that we used to know quite well always put on his garden plot a sack of guano and three or four loads of stable and other kinds of barnyard manure. His garden cover ed about one-ffth of an acre, and was good land to begin with. In fact, he had selected good, rich spot of ground for his garden. The fertilizer he applied amounted to thousand pounds per acre, and the barnyard ma uure to about seven or eight tons. Of course, he grew a good garden, as
