The remaining' !.atii'rus seed was then sown in a box and kept on a shaded porch. At the end of six mouths about fifteen plants from one to two inches hijLfh were alive, in the fall these were transplanted to a row in the peat or chard on the Kxperimetit farm. The soil was a well enriched loam. All these plants were alive the next spring, but during the whole season grew only a few inches. Weeds ami jrases were carefully removed by hand every two or three weeks. The next spring eleven f the plants were removed from the orchard and set in a single row on a rich and mellow terraced hillside, where thev have remained since. The plants so far have not (lowered, and of course tin Meed has been formed.

In dividual requirements may need some what different proportions with a change of ingredients at hand. Com posts should be laid down under shelter if possible, and ou stiff clay founda tion and level so that no leacnings may run oft. About six weeks before ready to use, put down a layer of stable manure three or four inches thick, then a thinner layer of cotton seed (if this is used) then a layer of acid phosphate, and finally a layer of kainit. Kaeh layer shonld be thoroughly wet after it is put down. Kepeat layers until heap is Du.lt up three or four feet. Then cover with a layer of dirt to protect it aud prevent leaching from rain. Examine from time to time aud wet the heap if there is undue heating. At the time for hauling to the field, the heap should be cut down from top to bottom und mixed thoroughly as possible. W he u ashes' are usetl it is best not to allow them to eome in contact with the stable manure, as there might Ik? some tendency to de compose it.

Hoy (Kuja) lleana Ought to ba Planted. A correspondent writes: "When is the right time to sow (or plaut) soy beans? What kind of soil and how. should It be prepared for same ? How do they compare with black peas as a feed and land improver? By giving this information you will greatly oblige." Soy beans should not be sown broad east, but planted in hills or drills 2', or. 3V feet apart according to richness of soil. If in hills, 15 to ' inches is far. enough apart in the row. They will doubtless grow on any soil that corn will grow on, and may he planted at, the same time as corn, w hich gives a' long season from March to .July. It is ft good plan to plant in the corn rows' between the hills or stalks of corn. If! corn is grown for silage, the beans can, be cut with the corn and will add greatly to its value. The upright growth of soy beans leaves room for .. cultivation, and this should be accorded to cheek the growth of weeds. f As food for stock, the soy bean is onei of the richest legumes that can be I grown. In chemical composition the fc dry matter of soy-bean-silage and a j.-iJiiek peavine hay differ more in fat and K. other carbohydrates than protein. The roots of soy beans bear numerous tuber cles, which aid it by gathering nitrogen from the air the same as those of the peavine or clover routs. There is no spreading by running vines to shade the ground, which is one of the potent factors In soil improvement, hence soy beans must be planted near enough for shade. On poor soil there should be t one plant every 3x' feet and from that up to 3x3 V feet. It is usual to plant S to 4 beans in a hill, as it makes the stems finer, and they are hard and woody ftt best. They are well suited to grow in any part of this state and can be depended on for good crops of seed. " To save the seed the stalks should be nulled or cut and stacked uu loose! v as soon s leaves and pods have chanired iroia green to a golden hue, and when dry threshed out.

Kentucky blue grass is a favorite, w hile common red clover flow er near t he t iine of hot h grasses. These make prime hay. and will grow well if treated to an occasional coat of stable manure. You will hardly make grasses profitable without this manur ing. Probably you could get much more clean cash out of annual clover grown for seed. It should be sown in August or any time in the fall when there is likely to be moiiture enough to give the little plants a fair start, so that early winter frosts wilt not pull them out of the ground. This clover will ripen in May. You can feed the straw. ami the seed sltottht sell tor ?. or St! per bushel.

Cold waves are those Muddeit changes from high to very low temperature which constitute the. most noteworthy feature of winter weat her in the 1'nited Mates. They are produced by the II. v of masses of cold, dry air from the re gions east of the Uoeky Mountains in liritish America, towards the south or southeast. During the long winter nights of the Arctic regions dry. clear air accumulates in deep layers which in cooled by radiation to a temperature many degrees below .em; and then commences to tlow towards any place where warm air is ascending, as it docs in the low pressure areas or storms which constantly pass from west to east across the 1'nited States. A "low area' is produced by the air. Somewhere heeoming heated from un known causes, above the surrounding atmosphere. This excessively hented Air ascends and air is drawn in he low from all sides to ruplace it. That drawn in on the south to east side is wann und moist: that drawn In m the north to wefd side is dry and eold. The eold wave follows alter the low area as it moves eastward. The severer and pro longed eold waves are assoeiated with extensive areas of high prepare. Their rate of progress aver.it seiglit hundred niilef- in twenty-four hours. It is of great advantage to many busi ness ami agricultural interests to' Uu tw in sdvmiee when the temperature will fall (illicitly and decidedly, besides af fecting the comfort and health m thous ands of people.

You do not say anything about the previmis ip-itlity of your land, nor what hind of loads ot ui;.nurc you applied, nor the (jttality of the -manure. Manure from highly fed animals aud not uf too strong a character is a very different article from ordinary yard manure. Kifty or dinary loads ot ordinary manure on on dinary farm land w ill not grow a line r.'op of onion--particularly if the laud is of a clayey diameter. You cannot make laud too rich for onions. On the land you name we would advise the addition of not less than 700 to l.ntto pounds of a complete eoniaierciitl fer tilizer, sneh as is made tor tobacco growing, in the furrow under the onion rows. If you intend to grow ri;e on ion you should always sow the seed in i'chniary. as you can thus raise better onions than you can from sets. To rais.' early grow n onions it is best to plant set- of the White I'earl onion in October. Seed would do just as well for these if sown in September, but the uncertainty of our fall weather and liability of dry weather at this time renders the germination of the seeds at this time rather uneertain. We therefore advise M-ts for fall plant ing. For spring sowing use seeds of the Prize Taker ia tare yellow oniom, White tilol e. Soutnport. Pearl or (Hunt Koeeo thrown.) The White Globe is the best keeper. IMant early Irish potatoes in Febru ary, with 1. nun pounds of complete fer tilizer per acre, well worked in thr furrow am! cultivate thoroughly. Commercial fertilizer is better than manure -for Irish potatoes, as they grow smoother and are less liable to scab.
