Many arc troubled because of the igh price, or rather scarcity, of potash; for that available commands a nice which effectually prohibits its jsr as a fertilizer. A good au'hority on fertilizers for la.ot beds (tobacco) for the following easor.s: ''First, because plant beds ire usually made on new land, which J las a considerable amount of avail-j \ble potash. Second, because logs' ind trash are usually burned on plant! 1 | Dods and supply an additional amount A potash. Third, because the young plants do not require very much pot-1 ash." * 1 It i? a well known fact that nitro-l i?;cn and phosphoric acid a>*c very J much more needed for starting c1f| young plants, liall especially calls at j Lent ion to the marked effects of acid, phosphate in stimulating the growth rjf very young plants.

Experiments in hog feeding have shown clearly that pork costs only one-third to one-half as much when pastures are used as when concentrated feeds alone are used, and that by means of pasture crops pork can be made mo it? I cheaply in the South than it is possible to make it in the Corn Belt. The importance of green feed is thus easy to see. This is the season for South Carolina farmers to plan a succession of lu g grazing crops. Blunt one ahead of time and there will he no need to hesitate at any season.
