How to Maintain the Fertility.
It la a noted fact that where legumes
are grown on land, aay two-fifths of
the time, which certainly ahould be
the case, tho nitrogen supply la hold.
It la also well known that the feeding
of the crops grown on the same farm,
the proper caro of the bam yard ma
nure, and Its application to the lands,
will return all the fertilizing Ingredl
enta with the exception of auch aa
compose the animal body, and such
other products aa wool, cheose, and
butter as are aold from the farm.
They are actually lost to the soil for
ever. Thla loaa la repreaented on
phosphorus and potassium compounds
and can be supplied In three distinct
waya only. They can be purchased in
tho form of feeding stuffs for farm
animals, finding their way to the soil
through the manure; or they may be
secured directly by commercial fer
tilizers; and again by the subsoil run
ning down to a depth of 3 or 4 ft. from
the surface.
month, or tho root can bo aet out
8t out horso-radlsh plants. .For
onions, put out seta, riant early po
tatoes. Manure tho lawn and tbe
strawberry bed, Tut nitrate of soda
and common salt on tho asparagus
and rhubarb beds.
Trim out the old canea from the rows
of berry bushes, and burn them lest
tbey might be harboring pests. Do
not be la hurry to remove the bees
from the cellar, even though a few
warm daya are given us early In this
month. Set all the broody hena early
this month you can. Provide tbem with
a sheltered nest, aa warm aa you can
give it.
Peas, beans, potatoes, clover and
flax require potash In the soli. Beets,
cabbage, oats, wheat, barley and herba
require nitrogen in tho soli. Radish
es, turnlpa and corn need large
amount of phosphoric acid In tbe soil.
The soil of the vegetablo gardens
should be well underdralned, thorough
ly trenched or subaollod and enriched
by Judicious application of fertilizing
material.
In April early beans, early beets,
broccoli. Brussels prouts, early cab
bage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cu
cumber, egg plant, kohl rabi, lettuce,
parsley, pepper, radish and tomato
seed can be sown In the hotbed.
The finer tho soli the better tho veg
etables, both In quantity and quality.
Work the surface soli over after every
rain, and thus retain all the moisture.
Vegetables delight In a warm, deep,
rich and mellow soli. Avoid plantln
seed when tho ground Is wet, when
ever possible. You will get quicker
returns by waiting a day or ao and
giving the seed better conditions.
Whenever possible It Is a good plan to
apply the fertilizers to tbe land
week or ten days before sowing tho
seod, Inf all cases see that It Is thor
oughly Incorporated In the soil; oth
erwlse injury to young planta may re
sult.

Nit rata.
Saltpeter and nitrate of potash are
the same. It la found in dry, hot
countries In a natural product. Nitrate
of aoda la commonly called Cblll salt'
peter, and la found In large deposits In
that country. It contains the same
percentage of nitrogen and oxygen as
nitrate of potash, only It la united
with sodium Instead of potassium, and
Is the case of nitrate of potash.
Acordlng to a government botanist
at Washington, there la reason to be
lieve that buds share In tbe growing
old of the parent plant. He illustrates
his meaning In this way: Suppose tbe
averago life of an Individual plant-
say a tree, to be 100 years, then a bud
removed when tbe parent plant la CO
years old will also be virtually 60 years
of age, and If transplanted by graft
ing will bo able to live on the graft
only CO years more.

It waa Impossible to ignore the qua!

"I merely wish to remark," said the

Kecnlna a cow for her good looks
may be fine esthetics, but is not good
business. Business demanda that a
cow give at least C.000 pounds of milk
a year; make 100 worth of butter;
that ahe furnish one calf worth $5 or
more; f 10 worth of sweet sklm-mllk
and manure enough to pay for her
feed. In thla way a farmer can eat
his cake and bave It at the same
time.

Interest the manner In which the Pa

to the roaming Albina aggregation.
Tho score stood 0 to 3. The field waa
a sea of mud, and taking this Into con
sideration, the players handled them
selves well. The entire contest was
played during a drizzling rain, which
at tbe end of tbe aecond chapter, waa
so disagreeable that the players, not
