VonnatefeltDi,rbrasr. To'apply or not to apply commerical fertilizers is one of the important ques. tions ot the day among farmers of our older States w4o appropjate the neces sity of imniedlato action in the restora tion of their lands, and who can not command farm-yard manure In sufil (lent quallity to accomplish this. In many portions of the South, especlally east of the Misissippi valley, and in the Eastern States, artificial manures have been experimented with to a conskidera ble extent. Reports from equally trustworthy sources are widely diverse as to results. Qe who has tried Pervy lan guano, for instance, failed to re elve any benefits therefrom and natur ally condemned it; another doubles his crop with its assistance and therefore extolls It. Thus opinions vary all the way through the list. This difference of opinion Is due sometimes to the adul teration of the materials employed, but largely to drawing conclusions without considering all sides of the subject, and ( simply proves the imperative necessity of exercising common sense, both in the selection and application of the 1 fertilizers. To start with, the differ- 1 ence in soils should be remembered. I Lands vary widely in their capacities t for supplying crops with food, and, consequently; in their demand for for tilizers. Some soils will bring good re- a suits for the fertilizers given them; others unless previously prepared by tillage, drainage, irrigation, Ac., will - not. The only correct way Is to ascer tain by careful observation and experl- i ments what a soil wants, and then sup- I ply it. The provident farmer, when lie Is in doubt in this matter, cultivates the bulk of his crops under the most appro ved of old methods, testing in. a smail way as many new practleps as vossible t until such a time as he feels confildent lie has found what suits his speCIal ro quirements. Tile results of the experi ence of those who have gone over the samte ground In advance is not only of Interest but Judiciously considered and applied, may be of great beneft to a novice in the use of commercial ferti lizers. 'I'lie American farmer gains a I hint, at least, toward the right dirc' .1 tion when lie learns that by far the largest qunt ty of all imlanufatifi ured ' manures in England is applied for root L crops. There are many districts where ri turnips and see la are grown -withi no 1 other manure than milueral superphos phate, at the rate of three to four hun dred weight per acre. On cold, clay soils, in a fair agricultural condition, according to Dr. Voelcker, three hunI- b dred weight of a mineral superphos. phate containing on a average twenty o ie to twonty-dive per cent, of soluble t phosphate will produce at least, as I heavy a croy of seeds and turnips as 8 a manure containing in addition to soli ble phosphate of lime, ammionia or nit rogenous matter. On light 1Id, how ever, says the same authority, the use t of purely phosphatic manure cani not be I relied upon for producing a good crop C of roots. On such land artiilclal in- m nures are seldom used alona, but gener ally in conjunction with a dressing oft barnyard manure. issolved bones, Peruvian guanio, comploundl artificial manures containinig from t wo to three per cent of ammonia are preferredl to miineral suplerphoesphmate as a manu re < for root crops on high land and on loamy soils oult of condition, by iEng- C hissi cultivators. Nitrate of sodam has been used of late years ini Enlglandi with considerable advantage in additioni to dlissolved bones, or a mixture of sup1 urphosphato and some salt usa mixture ! for mangolds.

Tiui .BxAoKisatRY.-Formorly th< blackberry was regarded as merely s bramble In this country. It is still juite generally so regarded. When s man gets to thinks it is not a bramble, all he has to do is go waltz around in a healthy patch, with nothing on hin but a cotton shirt and a pair of tow trowsers, and he will come out re stored to the faith of his fathers. Tihe greatest onemy the blackberry has, Is bnyq. Five boys from town, can cat more green blaokberries in a day than would ripen in a week. For many years the great desideratum has been a hardy berry that could resist the prem iture onslaught'of boys from town. I Is a great desideratum still. The dhneilder, a variety that was invented by an Iowa horticulturist, Is the near 3st approach to it. It Is bred from it perfectly green peralimoi, crossed with a dogwood tree, and still further propagated with a hybrid of worm vood bush and wild crab apple. It is iota perfect defense, but there are very 'ew boys who care to eat more than a juart of them. Nobody else, however, :an go past the field where the ehnieil ler Is growing, without being attacked )y Asiatic cholera, and this tends to Yeaken the partial success this hardy )erry has achieved. Then there is i )ug-I do not know the name of it-. hat crawls over the berries now and lhen. When you oat a berry that has woen glorified by a visit from this bug, rou lie down in the briars and pray leaven to take you home in just three econds. And if you live,. you can vako up in the night, along in the mid lie of next winter, and shudder as you asto of that berry. When your black errios grow too thickly, you will want o thin them out. To this end you must :111 some of them. This can be done oy digging a well where the plant tands; then turn the farn upside down .nd let it dry out thoroughly for a cou io6f years, then turn it over, upside own, mid start a brickyard onl the iack of it. This will kill oil some of he pla1:s. ''here iay be soie shorter Rnd cheaper method of killing black erry bushes than this, but I never icard of it and it isn't likely that there 9 ally. If you wIaIt to devote about orty acres of ground to the cultivation f blackberries, plant about three calLty vines in soie corner of the Ield, about the middle of April. Then bout tiRe lirst of Miy, the man wiho wits the farm on the other side of the oad, will bring civil action against oiu and try to col leet daminages, for de IuCtlon of h8IS two 11Olds of wheat by a al<d of blackberry vines. it I: liot AWNY11 JUSt ait WhatUL s0ea60on of the yeamr llickberries ipenl. If the licksters id boys should all ile in Junle, it is robable that the berries would ripen ollctime in J tly or A ugust. But they ave never hiad a chance to see what hie)' could do at ripening. The black erry Is so ialimed, because it Is blue, in rder to distinguish it from the blue erry, which is black.
