AGRICULTURAL,
Tho Homo Mlxlng ot Fertilizers.
Thcro 1s no grcnt socret nbout lt.
All you nood In ordorto do lt ia lo hovo
tho chomlcala,ogood floor and obIiovoI.
If in nddltion to thia, you can got n
largo coarao siovo liko n gravcl scroon
such os moaon's uso, lt will bo n holp to
you. Acld phosphato is olways flno und
without lutnps unlo8s lt haa lald In a
domp placo whon lt is npt to bccorao
lumpy. Muriato of potoah is noarly
nlways moro or loes lumpy, and tho
lumps nocd to bo crushcd. Tho samo
is truo of uitrato of soda. Tho solvo
onablos ono to soparato tho lumps for
crushing, but whoro thoro is uo such
thing, tho following plan works wcll;
Bupposo you docldo to uso on nn acro
200 pouuds ncid phosphato, 100 pouuds
muriato potnsb, and C0 pouuds nitrato
Boda, you would wolgh out C0 pounds
of tho flrst and sprcad it on tho floor,
thon 25 pounds of tho sccond sprcad
ovor that, thon 12 or 13 pounds ot tho
third sproad over tho pilo. Thon be
gin again and put anothor C0 pounds of
tho acld phosphato ou tho pilo, thon go
on with tho othors until you had
woighod out onough for an acro. Tho
best way to moasuro is to havo a pail
or sihillnr vcsscl into wblcb you can
put o wcighed quantily na say 25
pounds, thcn it Is iar casior to mcasuro
than to woigh. Aftor tho pilo is
woighed, tako o ahovel (not a round
pointed ono) and shovel the pilo ovor
sovcral tlmes, throwing tho fertilizer
up iuto a pilo high in tho conter. Thon
tho lumps will fall to tho outslde and
canjbo crusbod with a block of wood
with a handlo sot in it. Tho lumps aro
not hard to crush, and if a few go in, it
is no great mattor. Tho only roal
troublo is with tho proportion of tho
chcmicals to mix. But this nccd not
bo greatly in tho way. Every New
Englaud oxporiment station has bulle
tins containing printcd formulas for
various crops, and thoso aro sont freo
to thoso wbo wisb to uso them.
But it Is far bettor for oach fariner to
try to fiud out just what his soils nced
than to trust to any ono olso to tell hirn
what to uso. Somo soila necd potaah,
but do not nee pbcsphoric acid. Qth-
cra aro tho opjiCS'.tG. Somo soils nccd
nitrogcn, othors do not. So each fatm
or should cxporimcnt to find out what
his soil nccds. Mauy of tho ordinary
fortilizers contain very little potash,
whilo most soils in Now England aro
deflcient in tbis. A rcason for tho
poor success mauy havo with fertilizers
may bo found in this. Tho remcdy is
not to givo up using fertilizers, for it is
not possiblo to got along without them
on most soils, but thoy should bo adapt
cd to tho neods of tho soil and crops.
It is a disputcd qucstion whethor wo
should place the ncods of the soil or of
tho crops flrst, but most anthorities
Bay, suit your fertilizers to the ncods of
tho soil. Still it is wcll to considcr tho
needs of tho crops you aro going to
grow, and to atudy tho analyses of
these. Thero is no lack of printcd in
formation on thoso subjects, tho only
lack is in tho farmers thomsolves 11 nd
ing or taking timo to read aud study
the information that is theirs for tho
asking. It cannot bo too much insist
ed upon that the modorn farmer must
bo a reading man in ordor to be a suc
cossful farmor. This Bubject of for
tilizers woll illustrates tho necd of study
on tho part of tho farmor. It is estab
liBhcd that a saving of from $5 to $10
can bo made on each ton of fertilizer
used, and tho mechanical part of mix
ing roally amounts to nothing. It is
tho hoadwork that tclls, it is the knowl
odgo that is lacking on the part of the
farmers.

MUOII HICKNICSS
Particularly throat and lung dlfllcultlos,
ignorantly attributod to other cauaos, i'a
tho result of unaanitary conditions of
walls and coilings. Think of having bud
rooms covorod with layera of moulding
(lourpaato to foed vormln, with papor to
hido them and to abaorb tho moiaturo of
respiration, and an anlraal gluo culturo
ground on its faco for dlseaso gorras;
this having strong colors nddod like a
Yaluablo Farm Composts.
I wastcd hundrods of tons of manuro
boforo I adoptcd a plan of composting
all fortillzlng tnatorial. I top-uroBsod
raoadow lanu, and Bomotlmcs gaincd a
good proflt by it. but if dry wcathor fol
fowcd I lost tho bottor part of tho food
elements, and somotlmes noarly all of
it. I draggcd tho mcodowa flrst, and
thon ngaln aftor putting on tho fortll
izors; a plan always to bo commondod.
But stlll I was wasting what I could
not afford to loso. Mcanwhllo thoro
was a grcat supply of huraus tnatorial,
that could not bo usod at all in this
way, such as autumn lcavcs and old
straw. Thoso I ofton used for mulch
ing, and got somo bonoflt from them,
but thoy linally for tho most part sont
bnck thelr olemonts into tho alr.
My flrst losson wns composting lcavcs
with coal ashcs. I found that coal
ashcB was of groat bonollt on clay soil,
onabling tho land to rccclvo fortillzlng
olemonts from tho alr, whilo tho valuo
as mulch waa also considoroblo. Mlxed
with lcavcs, I found that tho lcavos
woro turned moro readily lo humus,
and tho rcBultant was a usoful matorial
to plow into clay soil. Thon I bcgan
tho plan, which 1 now pursuo, of com
posting ovorything that would mako
fortilizing material. I havo nino acros;
onc-half is ornamontal hedges, drivcs
and lawna, tho othcr half in fruit gor
don. Whon I took thia placo I could
not got half a ton of grass to tho acro.
Now I soil from 8800 to $1,000 worth
of bcrrica and fruit, incluuing honoy
and othor itcms. Bosides this wo uso
all that wo dcsiro of fruit, oggs, milk
and vegetables, ccrtainly not less than
$400 worth ovory yoar. I havo stoppcd
buyiug commorcial fortilizers altogeth
or, and apply composts only.
Thero aro flvo compost piles, kopt
constantly in thoproccssof making aud
distributing. Thoy aro placed where
most convonient of accees. and most
convcniont for boing appliod. They
aro by no means mado ou tho uniform
systcm. But as a rulo I got a largo
basis of autumn lcavos. On this in win
tor aro placcd all the coal ashcs I can
make, or procuro of othors. Layorcd
with thoso aro loads of barn-yard ma
nure. Added aro loads of wasto of all
Borts. It is surprising how much of
this matorial one will flnd when bo haB
onco begun to look for it. Thoro aro
sure to bo neighbors throwing away
what you know tho valuo of, and can
gct for drawing away, or for a small
Bum. It is Bcldom that a fow loads of
old plastor or limo cannot bo got, where
house rcpairs aro going on, This is in
valuable, If thero are boarding boutea
near, their refuso piles are suro to bo
rich in fortilizing material. Mcau
while I noyer overlook tho chanco to
obtain coal ashes. These generally
contain consldcrablo wood ashcB, but
aro of themBclvca important.
In tho spriug turf is frequently pro
curable, soil from ditches, road wasto
with manure, muck, and in all cases
thcre is a great supply of wecde. All
of these matorials go into my piles.
Timo is nevcr conBidcred lost that
brings homo tho stuff that noarly every
one is glad to got rid of. Whon my
gardens aro supplying weeds theso aro
nover thrown away. Thoy aro mado
of the bcst matorial that tho air can
furniah, and matorially aid the compost
pilo. 1 havo arranged ono of my com
post hoaps in a swalo bolow tho house,
bo that I can conducl tho house sowcr
into it, and mako it a cess not a ccas
pool, for it is nover foul, and rarely
wet. By using a fork onco or twico a
week, it is kept ncat looking, whilo tho
wholo mass is bccoming pcrmcated
with nitrogonoua doposits. This is
somothiDg liko flvo rods from tho
house, and constitutes tho best mcthod
of disposing of house wasto that I havo
yet seen deviBcd.
Tho pileB go on building all summor,
but aro nover forkcd or turncd over.
In tho sido of each a fow equash hills
may bo made, and tho vinos will mako
the heapa sightly if not ornamental.
But in October oach pilo ia carofully
forked and mixed. You will flnd that
your leavea havo becomo well rotted,
and ready to make flrst-rate humus.
The ashes aro blended with tho ma
nuro, and will not only lighton tho soil,
but alBO incrcaso the power of tho ma
nuro to receive nitrogeu. Whon thor
oughly blended tho compost is applicd
to gardens as needod. Strawberry beds
are covered freoly, not to quite hide
tho plants, with the result of not only
enriching tho beds, but mulching them
for the winter. The samo compoBt is
usod for top-drcBSing graBs; whilo that
which ia richest in muck and lcaf mold
is used in raspberry gardena.
The compost piles aro the Balvation
of my placo, tho sourco of wealth, and
the pledgo of success. To visitors I
point them out, saying, "I run my
Elace with thoso." The most barron
uolls are now rich gardens, and grow
ing richer, in spito of the heavy crops
which are annually taken from them.

Forcit Ciiltlvntlon,
An oxcccdlDcly intoreeting ond at
trnclivo undortoKing is proposcd in tho
bill which Mr. 8towart of Ithaca in
troduccd ln tho Sonato on WcdncB
dny. It providcs for a prnctlcol cx
pcrlmnnt in foroetry, on a suitablo
ecalo, undor tho dircction of Cornoll
Unlvorsity. ond its prlmory purpoao is
to Bhow tno peoplo of Now York how
tliolr forcst domnin oughtto bo troatcd.
Tlio scctlon of tho Constitution adopt
cd ln 1804 which rclotos to tho forcsts
Uosfollows: "Tho londs ofthoStatc,
now owned or hcrooftor acquirod, con
stitutlng tho. forcst presorvo as now
flxcd by law, ahall bo forovor kopt as
wlld foreat londs. Thoy Bhall not bo
lcoscd, aold or oxchonged, or bo takon
by any cornoration, public or privoto,
nor sUoll tho timbor thorcon bo aold,
roraovcd or dcstroyod." It is fair to
assumo thot Mr. Stowort's bill, of
which Govornor Block is known to bo
tho sponaor, doea not conflict with tho
luttor, os it ccrtainly does not with tho
splrit, of this acction. Tho constltu
tionol prohibition, os ovory ono who
followod tho prococdingBof tho convon
lion knows, doca not aignify that tho
dolegotea who wero most octivo in ao
curing its odoption by a unanimous voto
supposcd that tho total ncglcct of for
cats was truo forcstry. Thoy cloarly
rccognizcd tho fact that tho prohibi
tion was not Bciontiflc, ond thot it
ought not to bo tho pormanont policy
of tho Stato. But thoy had bccomo
convinccd that its enforcoment for a
period of years wob neceasary to stop
tho ruln which bad forcst monagemcnt
and lox public sontlment wero pormlt
ting; their oxpectotion boing that
knowlcdKO would increaso and ulti
motoly lcod to tho establlshmcnt of a
sciontillc syatom euch ob foroign na
tlonB hovo mado highly profltablo.
Govornor Black'a proposal 1b, thcro
foro, n direct contribution to tho objcct
which tho convention hod ln vlow.
Hia bill providcs thot tho Stato sholl
acquiro o foroat tract of 25,000 ocrcs in
tho Adirondack region, nnd givo the
uso of it during n period of twenty-flve
yoars to Cornoll, on condition that tho
Unlvorsity ahall cultlvato lt iu accord
onco with tho principles which oxperi
onco has opproved. His belief is that
tho result will completely domonstrato
tho ossibilittcs of bo managing the
forcats as not only to preservo all the
beneflls which their influeuco on cli
moto aud waterflow produces, but olao
to derivo o conaidorablo rovonuo from
them whilo their beouty conBtontly in
crcasos. Nor is thoro onything fantaa
tic in this onticipation. Govornor
Black has not ovolved a theory or
made any now diecovery. It ia to his
credit that study and obaervation have
led him to accept as applicablo to us
tho concluaiona which have beon ea
tablished elsewhoro, and ho wisoly sug
geata o plan by which ri8k will bo largo
ly avoidcd and favorable conditiona
crcated.
If it wero propoaed to put the experi
mout in chargo of o burcau or commis
sion tho presumption might bo that it
would fail. Undor tho control of Cor
noll Univeraity, which is williug to ac
cept tho truat and would probably or
ganizo a Bchool of forestry through
which to administor it, tho scheiue
ought to succeed. There ia acarcely
any other flold of knowledgo which haa

tho gonuino syrup and sugar, and also
weans consumers away from the truo
