NEW LIFE FOR THE OLD SOIL
Qrccn Manures Work Wonders.
W. H. STEVENSON.
Any crojw grown and plowed under
Rreen to Incrcnxo tlio productive ca
pacity of tlio noil nro cnllcd green mn
nure crops. Sometimes such crops oc
cupy the lutid for only n part of the
Reason. They nro then known at
"cover" crops or "cntch" crops.
Cireen miimirlng Is nn Important
pruitlce, chlolly because It nihil organic,
mutter to the soil, which U gradually
converted Into humus, an uutwlutely
essential coustltu',nt of the soil. Of
course humiM may bo secured by ap
plying barnyard manure, but as a rule
there Is not enough of this material to
meet the needs of the laud. However,
green mnnuring Is not unough In Itself
to Weep a soil from wearing out. ho
other practices must be followed. Croim
must be grown In rotation, tlio mois
ture content of the soil regulated, prop
er Ullage practiced, the soil kept sweet.
tho supply of mineral plant food main
tained, especially tho supply of phos
phorus and potassium, nnd tho nitro
gen content of the soil kept up. Thee
factors all play an Important part In
keeping n soil productive, but they
nro not more Important than grceu
manuring.
Poor Soils Especially Benefited.
In general green manures nro bene
ficial when used on poor soils because
jf their action on tho physical, chemi
cal and bacteriological conditions of
tho soil. From the physical side green
manures Influence tho moisture, tem
perature and aeration of soils. For ex
ample, on light, sandy soils' they pro
Vent rapid drying out by reducing the
losses of moisture duo to evaporation
and percolation, nnd further make, the
soil more compact While they have
Just the opposite effect on henvy clny
Bolls, here the organic matter opens up
the soil and admits air.
Tho practlco of leaving the soil bare
during July and August following the
harvest of a small grain crop Is very
bad, as It causes tho loss of large
amounts of nitrogen by percolation
These losses may bo prevented In a'
largo measure by growing green ma-j
nuro crops on tho land, especially Is
this tnio of leguminous crops, which!
stimulate greater bacterial octlon, and'
as a result larger amounts of available'
plant food arc produced. Hye, wheat, I
buckwheat and rapo nro tho nonlegu-'
xnlnous crops which aro commonly1
used for green manuring, whllo red
clover, mammoth clover, sweet clover,
crimson clover, Canada field ieas, cow
peas, soy beans and vetehe-i nro the
best known legumes for this purpose.
The secret of keeping our gardens
nnd fields fertile Is to plow deep, and
If necessary subsoil, cultivate thor
oughly and ilnnt leguminous crops.

SEEDS IN APRIL
Elant Only Real Live Ones and Keep
Them Growing.
Good heeds to grow should bo pure or
free from other kinds of seeds, bo true
to name nnd possess the greatest pos
sible IoiiRolty. Testing seeds is In It
self Interesting, but few have the time
for It, and therefore we should use carp
In buying only from the reliable seed
housmi Corn, however, should be test
ed In order to avoid Ions from low vital
ity and thus having to replant. Tout
ing steals Is n simple matter, nnd ninny
use the pasteboard lllleni out of vim
crates to do It. these being filled with
dump sand, then a kernel of com Is
placed In "rich nnd covered with sand,
afterward being watered thoroughly
with lukewarm water; a piece of damp
cotton cloth Is then laid over tho tester
until the seeds sprout, which Is In
about live days. If tho seed Is good
about ST p-r cent should germinate.
Sowing thn Seeds.
Tho two requisites for the germina
tion of seeds nro n congenial torn peril -turo
nnd a continuous supply of mols
turo. The gnrdener has little to say
about temperature, but tho moisture
lucrl'en can be controlled by the use
of the roller or the feet, providing one
does not ux a heed drill having a small
roller nttaehed Peter Henderson In his
book, "Gardening For Profit," devotes
a whole chapter to tho use of tho feet
In planting. For example, plant two
rows of radishes where tho soil Is dry
and press down firmly with tho feet
over oho row, smoothing the other row
with n rake, nnd nolo the difference
The radishes which have Ikhu tramped
down are nblo to get moisture by capil
lary attraction, whllo tho others suffer
for want of It.
In sowing seeds that start slowly, as
parsnips, celery, etc.. It Is well to sow
with them u few strong, quick germl
natlng seeds to break the crust and
mark tho rows so that cultivation may
begin early. Frequently n crop of rod
lshcs may bo grown this way before
the main crop takes up tho land. The
following vegetables may be planted as
soon ns the soil Is fit to work:
ARparugus, one ounce for SO feet:
broad beans, ono quart for 100 feet:
beets, one ounce for DO feet; Ilrussels
sprouts, ono ounce for 2,000 plants; car
rots, one ounce to 100 feet; celery, ono
ounce for '000 plants; Swiss chard,
ono ounce for 50 feet; lettuce, one
ounce for 100 feet; onions, one ounce
for 100 feet; sets, ono quart for 50 feet;
parsley, one ounce for 150 feet: pars
nips, ono ounce for 200 feet; peas, ono
quart for 100 feet; ixitatoes, one iock
for 100 hills
Many of our vegetable seeds do 'well
When transplanted, and these may be
Martcd In boxes In tho houso or under
glass or In n nursery row.

commercial fertilizers are sold on a

actual phosphoric acid nnd 10 per cent

containing Til per cent actual potash,
61 per cent of i00 pounds is 102 pounds.

When a few days old they need light

nothing better than a good grado of
Ush Bcrnp) added at eight days of nge

Avoid musty corn, scrap that Is fit ouly
for fertilizer, and stale drinking water
Unless there Is some grit In the barn
waste that Is used for brooder floor It
should bo supplied. Chicks need a
warm place to retire to when cold, nn
open room to get out Into and exorcise,
as well as a grass run to range over
when two weeks old. Close confine

tho heat of the brooder can bo reduced
to about SO degrees. Too mnny chicks

wrongly, but tlio blnmo Is usually laid
