How may this be prevented, and how may the prompt coming up of crops be insured? First, by pre ventin" the moisture from reaching the surface where the evaporation i takes place or if not preventing com pletely, retarding its coming as much as posible. If the land has been pre viously broken, the most effective means is the keeping of a mulch ot finely pulverized soil on the surface all the time. A layer of finely brok en earth, an inch thick, on the sur face of land, will retain the moisture almost like a layer of leaves or straw. As to depth as manure is to bo taken up by the roots of plants, ii will not be disputed by any one per haps, that manuro should be at those depths in the soil where roots are chiefly found. Should manure be applied in drill or be broadcasted ? This depends oe the quantity applied. If it he very email, so small that if applied broad cast it would not be sufficient to ge mixed with all the soil, it is better te put it in the drill- Especially is this the case, when the crop is such that i is important to have it grow rapidly in its early stages. Cotton for in ! stance, put in the drills, me ruu. will find it more promptly than l. broadcasted. But if the quantity u large, putting manure in drills is open to objections. In droughts, when there is little moisture iu the soil, solutions of manure may becon too strong for the good ot tne piauv (fires" the crop.) . As to the time when manures should be applied it may be said that, fo ..in.ii.pr crons. barn yard manures composts, phosphates may be applied early in February probably it is bet ter that they should be. It give time for some of them to undergo fur ther decomposing changes , which lib erate their plant food Contents and gives them time to spread their soluble portions through adjacent soil It allows also, certain desirable rear. tions between them and the soil to de velop. Certain it is. that when heavv applications of crude barn yard ma nures are made to land rather late u he snrinc. better results are obtained from such applications the second ye-r than the first. The spring it is very desirable t" have the soif warm up rapidly. Seed, will not germinate, hut will often rot when the is soil cold, Young plant will grow off slowly, while the soil is cold, even though the air is warm. Plants need what the gardener calls bottom heat," that is heat applied to t,a mnts. to make them grow off rap idly. The sooner the plants Mreb-li up the sooner the plow can take the place of the hoe and this helps the expense account greatly. In the next place, repeated harrowings kill sever al crops of weeds and may kill first crop of gras, which latter ,s the most troublesome ot all to ocai huh March is . reniiizin? iwimb A Mecklenburg count j, N. C, farmer writes to The Southern Farm as follows : 1. I notiee you recommend under certain conditions the application of given amount of acid phosphate to cot ton land, broadcast, and the ballance. 50 lbs to be applied with seed at planting time. Now, I have tinder ttood that you held that acid phosr phate should not come in contact with the plantinf seed. That it would kiU seed of any kind. I would be glad if you would satisfy me on that point, for I have a new ground that I wish to plant in cotton and if I can apply acid phoKphate in the furrow with, the teed, I could break it up ai& run it off and nlant it in the first furrow with out ridging. If I can oot do this there is nothing left for me to do but apply guano, which I am informed is not needed in new, fresh land. 'i. Will rolling seed to plant in --5 ! to 50 pounds fertiliser, made irotn I cotton seJ meal, keep the seed from (germinating? I have been told that ' it would. . . 3i Will the use of pine sawdust 10 stables injure the manure or aflcct tho crop to which it is applied ? 4. Will nitrogenous manures ap plied in the side (listing) furrow not escape if cotton is barred off? answers : 1 It is hazardous to put acid phos phate with planting seed, if used in quantity. There is little danger in 50 lbs per acre. To avoid all danger, however, mix the acid phoshate with two or three times iu bulk of fine earth or plaster, before putting it witt ine seed. Bear in mind that "guano :s nothing but acid phosphate mixed with some nitrogenous matter, so inai while acid phosphate shall contain, gay, 12 per cent, of phosphoric acid, guanos usually contains about 8 per cent, of the same 2 Cotton seed meal is destructive, to germinating seeds, but in the nail uantitics mentioned would probably do very little harm. To guard against this little, the fertiliter might be mix ed with dirt as above. 3. Used in large quantities and in iU fresh state it might do some harm to the crop it would nave uo on the manure. Old rotted sawdust would do no harm, though neither arc of any direct value as a fertilizer. It only value is a mechanical one, and a an absorbent of moisture. 4 Not if the manuro is put aa deep as it should be, and the barring is shallow, as It ought to be. Ooco manure is mixed with the soil, the latter holds it pretty strongly. A $10,000 Do?. One of the features of the Westminster Kennel Club show wan the exhibition of the dog Rival, which was formerly owned by the late Empe ror William and old for a large price at the time of bla death. Thii breed of doijs is known ia their native country as Russian. Siberian or Circassian wolf hounds. They are identically the sam class of dog as tho English "greyhound, but the colder climate of Russia has given them a heavy warm coat instead of the thin one of tba English dog. The most valuable speci men are those of white color, with lemon markings, and perhaps the present dog. Rival, is the most perfect specimen to be found. They arc very affectionate in their dis positions to those whom they recognize In Huisia they are tivd for wolf bunt inr. for which they are well fitted. t " a t the main corn planting ! owing to their large and powerful ouiia . . . r 1 . ....
