Go"d and had seasons are muel more subject t*? control than th< average farmer thinks.

Good and bad s?'a>-ons will be found largely a matter of plant feeding; it the tillage ha* been good the previou>- year ami the wilder more or less op n, the soluble plant food in the soil will be well leached out in the spring, and the crop as a con inual uphill fight for food The remedy is simple?use fer'ipzers in the spring for the sum ncr crop. and grow a crop cover in the fall that the soil bo not left, bare during the winter. Farmers of the rich bottom or prairie lands of the West scout the idea of using fertilizers, yet they have to he content .with yields which the light sandy soils of New Jersey far exceed. For example, the light soi's ol the Atlantic roa-f line will often give a yield ol 100 i?u-h< 1- of corn per acre, planted in hills about I fe.-i each way; the Western fanner w ith from two to three line s the number ol hills per acre, will do well to I on an average oO to TO hushels per aero.

Lodg9 ing is very common, but as the ^ stover is not commonly harvested us forage, little note is taken of - this sign of weakness. To the Eeastern farmer, a mere superficial inspection of Western corn 11 fields shows at least one source I of diminished yiekls ; a lack ol j lime and potash. In raanv cases 5 lime is near at hand and very cheap, vei verv little is used. M n The prairies lands particularly ?' need lime at least every three years, but it is sure impoverishment to lime such soils unless potash fertilizer is used with the phosphates. It mus* he understood that potash as a fertilizer is of no greater importance than phosphates : hut that both potash and phosphates are equally nee essary. Commonly, the fertilizers offered to the West have no potash though rich in phosphates and nitrogen, and this accounts for the potash hungriness so frequently shown on Western farms. A little study of the conditions of plant growth, and the invariable food requirements of special crops, will quickly lead the fur raer to more or le-?? definite ideas as to the causes of "bad seasons" when the climate has not taken a hand in the matter; then a few individual experiments to suit the particular soil conditions, and the farmer is well on the way to protection against the ordinary "bad seasons". Perhaps the hard est thine to leant is to learn how to "think" systematically.When a farmer fully convinces himself that growing crops have to have certain food elements and then teaches himself what these food elements are and where to get them, he is well on the way to become a "thinking farmer," which is about the same thing as a successful farmer.

The Columbia State, which by the way is a much better authority of high license than religious principles, recently referred to the Boers as the "Associate Reformed Presbyterians of South Africa."

The tact that the Boers are Psalm-singers no more puts them iii the same cla-s with Associate ReformedPrcsbv terians than dees the fact that every man who has two hands and eyes is in the same elass with every other man who has two hands and eyes. The Boers are ignorant, and the Associate Reformed Preshyteri ans are not. No denomination in America, in proportion to their numbers and means, h ?ve done more and given more to liberal education than the Associate , Retormed Presbyterians.
