ASHES OF WOOD.

From the Soil by Plants.
HOW TO LY OFF THE LAND.
Make a areful urt of Ik UI.I M Ilk
Ik llef.ir martini tk -u.
Illhar Agrlrallaral r.rrila.
Ib-fore starting the plow make a care,
fill litrvey of the Held with the eye and
hy pacing oil" the landt to tee where the
projs r place for back furrow and ilea I
furrow t are lo come. . The proper pla.
for the back furrow, if in an open field,
i w here the dead furrow of the year la
fore was, o a to keep the field a near
level a possible.
Having selected the pmiier place for
the back furrow, ce from e h end of
the Held three lest pavei than one si-le
of the land; then plm-e the gui-le stake
at one end and start the plow from the
other, tlsing rare to drive the lirst furrow
straight ami parallel nun the tide of tha
Held. Plow lank and forth, throwing
the furrow together, until yoit have a
l rip six pacea wide plownl; then p'ow
ai-rov the end of thi hack-furrowed
strip at each Millid. nsing care to start
the furrow acrosi the end of this hack
furrowed atrip parallel with the end of
the field and the furrow straight, so
that the angle at the corner are right
angle ; then when you come to lini-li
the land it will come out even un the
idi and end of the plowed land.
For the second land, having s-l.i te.
the plai-e for the back furrow, pace (rem
each end ol the line nine less p.i.-catlian
the 1111111 Iht of iiai-es from the la-t fur
row of the land last plowed, place the
guide stake at one end of laud and ttait
the plow irum the other, and plow as U
tore until you have a stripsix mce wide
plow ed, throwing the furrow together,
and then plow aero the en.l, as la-lore,
and so continue until there are but six
pace remaining in the strip latwiin
the hack furrows. Then plow back an 1
forth on thi atrip, throw ing the furrow
alternately toward one hack furrow and
then the other, until coiiiplet.il, and so
continue until the Held ia c0111plet.1l.
The advantage, of thi method of lay
ing oir land over the one in common
use i that you have the field plowed
without turning on and tramping down
the plow ul ground at each corner ol t In
land, and that the dead furrow by end
ing at the end of the field carries tin
urfa.-e water completely past the plowed
ground and tint give a much belter
drainage than i done by plow ing around
land and turningoii the plowed ground
and flni-hing the land a iiumlH-r.it pa-e
from the end of the Held, that there
is no outlet for the water gathering in
the dead furrow.
Another advantage of this method of
laying oir lands i thi: Instead of pil
ing up a inimU-r of furrows of the soil
on the outside edge of the Held, when
it is of little or no no and is oltt-n of
great damage bv holding the surface wa
ter on the Held, it tends to work the
plow i soil more toward the center of
the Held, where it is of uf, und make
the edge ol the Held low, to the drainage
il more complete.

The ashes of wood contain every ele
ment taken from the soil by plant of
all kind. While there ia a diU'.-iemv
i"'et-n piani to some exteni, mere 1
a close n-semblance la-twii-n theni in the
.iiiantitv and kind of mineral mutter
they contain. These consist of pota-di.
lime, phosphoric acid, alumina magne
sia, so. la ami silica chiefly. The mint
important of these are the first three,
slid the Kitoh esiecially. The coiuish
sition ol ashe varies mostly in the pro
Nirtion ol lime and stash they contain,
this U-ing from a few H-r ciit to 70 or
more of the first and from 3 to :'0 of tint
latter. Thewotal ashes know 11 u Can
ada ashes in the market have an average
of 11 cr cent of potash and 30 ot lime
when utile, lied, and a little more liiiie
and alsiut 1 a-r i-ent of potash in the
leached. The hosphoric acid it from
2 to 3 per cent in both kinds ; the potash
is the most soluble part of the ashes.
A thev have .piite a large amount of
lime, there is no necessity to mix lime
with them for use as a fertilizer, but it 1
useful to add tome phosphate and some
kind of introgcnoin substance w it ti them
to muke them a complete fertilizer. Thus
a bin of ashes may nave 200 pound f
line ground I sine or g. as I superphosphate
and loo aund of nitrate ol sod or of
dried blood and llesh fertilizer added for
one acre. In the use of these fertilizer
