Hy planting poor seed farmers waste
millions of dollars each year. The season
of 1890 will he remarkable, for this loss.
Wet weather hindered ripening and successful
harvesting of garden seeds. Severe
cold, the earliest ever known, over n
large area of the I'nited States, found
considerable of the corn crop in the
fields in a damp condition, which doubtless
injured the germ and rendered it
worthless for planting. Potatoes, to a
great extent, were blighted, causing the
vines to decay before skin had set on the
tubers. Had as such will be for Reed,
many farmers will make a bad mattei
worse by planting small potatoes that
were set but a few days ere blight struck
the vines. Such seed will not produce

are simply machines for converting
crops into fertilizers. Instead of keeping

Different methods are sometimes , ba
adopted by orchardists ami others to in- kc
duco greater fruit fulness in shy bearing
trees. Not infrequently trees are slow W1
in i ouiing into bearing and expend their fm
forces in luxuriant leaf and branch j
growth, rather than in fruit. Ixoot
pruning nets like magic sometimes in j'
bringing barren trees into a hearing state, 1
especially when mifruitfulncs.* brought j
about by undue luxuriauee. Winn trees sv
are making very strong shoots t hoy- are
found on examination to be making roots
in proportion, and s?> long^ as tl1is_ g9.es j^er
on fruit prospects arejv^ry much jeop^r- (
di/.ed. It is the small fibrous roots which 1
command the formation of fruit spurs, J f;i
and in some soils there is'dilliculty in ' ca
maintaining a fruitful condition. In ,
gardens where the tfUrfn<*o is light and ;
open, with a clayey subsoil, there is a
lendeney for the roots to go deep in
search of moisture, especially if the as- ;
pcct is at all opeuatld \vi"ud\? < Much
soils mulching is of considerable value so s
long as it creates and maintains moisture.
" j.
By depriving a tree of a certain por- *
tiou of its roots, its too rapid growth is '
cheeked ami the young branches and 11
buds assume a more fruitful character. H

MISTAKEN I sk ok rl.ovEft. finally :
Jn wheat growing localities tha old | ehau0e.
)
fashioned practice of plowing under
clover every other year and growing alternately
with it a crop of wheat, was at (
the time thought to l?e the perfection of
good farming. It was not considered to
be an exhaustive rotation. . Was there
not every other year a clover growth,
mainly secured from the atmosphere, to
replace what the grain crop took from
1 the soil? Further experience has shown
the fallacy of this reasoning. Green urn*
nure necessarily ennnot make additions
| from these, fed mainly on hay, cornstalks
and straw, was duly drawn upon
the land. It was not rich manure, and
was usually especially lacking in phosphates.
Most of these wheat growers
. have for fifteen ortwenty years been purchasing
mineral manures to replace those
that were exhausted,
i The trouble began when even a lnrgo
. clover crop plowed under would not
produce a large crop, while without the
J ' clover good wheat could be grown with
! a dressing of 200 pounds of phosphate
' drilled in with the seed. This convinci
ing proof of the benefit of mineral mai
mires o]>ened the eyes of many farmers
! who had not before doubted that their
! two-year system was not keeping up their
j farms to the proper standard of fertility.
_ | Yet ever since, though inorc stock has
j been kept, and clover has been fed out
| and thus made into manure, the buying
! of commercial fertilizers has continued.
In fact, it is easy to see that this method. ?
j rcstore.% less of plant food than did the"
J plowing under of clover under the old
I practice. Wheat and other grain are sold
1 as before, so that the difference is that
! the summer fallow gave'the land the entire
clover growth, while the policy of
! feeding it to stock saved for the soil only
i what was left- after it had passed through
animals eating it, and had contributed to
j growth, muscle, milk, wool or other auij
inal products.
It. is clear, also, that the best use of
clover is to feed it at. home on the farm,
and with it enough of grain, oil meal or
i other nitrogenous food to make ii rich
; manure pile. But if oil meal and grain
! arc to lie. bought for farm use, it will re- j
(juire a much better class of farm stock
to make it pay expenses. So that, even j
for securing the fullest advantages from i
' .clover growing, there must bo better j
