FERTILIZERS ESSENTIAL.
Advice for the Amateur Who Is Plant.
ing a Garden.

Amateur gardeners may be Of the
impression that it is possible to grow
good crops on land without the ap-
plicat!on of fertilizer, especially in
newly plowed land. Such is not the
case, however, and If any plots have
been planted without the application
of fertilizer, it is very essential. that
proper amounts be broadcasted over
the lands. 1t does not necessarily
follow that new land contains a large
amount OF plant food because in many
cases it has been depleted In these
elements which make it all the more
necessary for fertilizer to be added
It is a preferable practice to broad
cast the fertilizer when moderate
amounts are being used When
strong applications are being made
IL would be advisable TO broadcast
hal to tWo-thirds before planting.
and after the seeds come up scatter
the remaining fertilizer alongside of
the rows. This Will give the plants
added strength. and will make for
better utility of the plant food ap-

KEEPING SOIL FERTILE.

Persons should pay more attention
to the maintenance Of the organic
contents of soils. Organic matter plays
an important part In soil fertility. The
decayinZ of this organic matter lib
crates large Quantities of available
pant food. The food of nitrifying
bacteria makes large quantities of nj
trates available for the plants, and the
soil becomes porous, absorbing and
retaining more water.
Soils which have been cultivated for
several years without the addition of
organic matter in some form are rap
idly becoming deficient, IN this mate
rial. The loss is more rapid in warm
and also greater In continuous grain
farming than where z. rotation which
contains a grass is practiced
Chemical determine Of soils
show that the cultivated soils have
lost SOB per cent Of their nitrogen and
S4.5 per cent Of their organic matter.
Many other determinations show that
the cultivated fields have lost 4s.5 per
cent of their nitrogen and 5tS per
cent Of their organic matter These
are not exceptional cases, but tTo in

SWEET CORN FOR FEEDING.

In past years we have had some ex-
perience in growing sweet corn for
forage purposes, the results Of these
experiments being mostly with hogs,
writes Daniel Prowant in Farm and
Ffresfde. The results Of our expert
been such that 7 do not hesitate to
encs with sweet corn for hogs has
been such that 7 do not hesitate to
recommend an acre or two Of sweet
corn to anyone Who expects to have =
number of hogs to fetten during early
autumn before the common field vart-
sites are Mt to feed and who will have
no cold corn with which to feed them
have found that sweet corn Is
rather richer in feeding value than
field corn and, r1pening EARLIER than
field corn. 1t is fit to feed several
weeks earlier than 1t is safe to teed
field corn. !"s
We select an early sweet corn Of
some standard variety for this pur-
pose, and give the same attention to
getting the soil in proper shape to
plant that we use for field corn The
same care and cultivation Is also
given during the growing season The
only difference Is that we always check

GROW 5UcKWHEAT.
Advice of the Department of Asri-
culture TO New England and Other
SfaFe-

Buckwheat should be grown N
larger quantity this year in New
York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Mtchig gan.
Wisconsin, New England, and in the
mountain sections of Maryland, West
Virginia, Virginia Kentucky North
Carolina and Tennessee, where it Is
known to be safe crop. It should be
sown on land where other crops have
failed and on old meadow and pasture
lands where the yields OF hay and
grass promise to be small. This is
the advice given by the United States
Department OF Agriculture to farmers
in all states named, but especially to
those in New York and Pennsylvania,
where about two thirds OF the buck
wheat crop of the country is now
grown. In the more northern states
buckwheat can be soWn almost any
but farther south 1t is best adapted to
the uplaud5 and mountainous sec
lions.
Buckwheat should be sown on land
prepared as for corn. Tt is an excel
lent crop TO SOW where corn or some
other crop has been planted but
where a. stand has not been secured.
Best results are obtained where the
land Is pIowed early and is we'll pre-
pared. but good results can he OBJ
tanned by sowing Immediately after
blowing and narrowing.
Buckwheat is valuable as a human
food. It is also an excellent feed for
poultry. The TITiddlings remaining as
a by-product after milling are, on &C
count of their high protein content 4
valuable feed for dairy cows. The
production Of bUckwheat will help to
year for local consumption and thus
help to avoid the danger Of shortage
due to possible lack Of adequate
transportation facilities
