spread pvpnU out tlio pardon very early

other fertilizer except for special pur
poses. If lnaiiure is not available in generous
iuantities, a compost lieap will help to
supply the needed humus, and commer
cial fertilizers will provide the plant
food. A compost heap should have a
place in every garden, any way. It is
made simply by throning in a" pile all
the leaves and garden refuse which conies
to hand, with the addition of some ma
nure, including that from the poultry
yard. It may he turned occasionally,
and when thoroughly decomposed, spread
on the garden.
It is a waste of time for the man with
a little garden to try mixing his ferti
liers. Let him rather buy a complete
commeicial fertilizer, relying on the ail
Nice of any honest seedsman as to brand.
Probably, the best way to use it is
to scatter most of it broadcast and to
harrow it in lightly, but to reserve a lit
tie to use in the hills and drills, working
it into the soil so that it will not come
dnectly into contact with the seeds.
Then, the young plants will have ample
nourishment close at hand to gie them a
good start, ami the roots will find more
waiting for them as they burrow in all
directions through the earth. Plants send
their rootlets a surprising distance in
search of food and water, and these root
lets show almost human intelligence in
traveling around stones and other ob
structions to gain their end.
Nitrate of soda is a fertilizer that acts
almost immediately and is used chiefly
for foliage plants and where - (piick
growth is wanted. It is a fine stimulant
for rhubarb, asparagus, spinach and
kale. No fertilizer will atone for caie
lessness and neglect.
Liquid liianuio may be used in much
the same fashion as nitrate of soda, but
in a more general way and for all sorts
of products. It offers one of the best
means to keep up the flagging spirits of
the garden in a dry season and when
ever growth seems to lag. It is easily
made by filling a cheesecloth bag with
fresh manuro and suspending it in a tub
or cask filled with water.
Many gardens need lime occasionally;
for it sweetens the soil and helps to
make plant food uvnilable. Unexpected
results nro often obtained from fivo
bushels for n garden GO x 100 feet.
Flowers as well as vegetables need
feeding. This is particularly true of
roses, which seldom get as much nourish
ment as they really crave. It may open
your eyes to rose-garden possibilities to
use a heavy mulch of manure around the
plants, spring and fall, lightly forking it
into the soil if its visible presence seems
pathetically objectionable. A sprinkling
of wood ashes and bone meal added will
help, and just as the buds are swelling,
a little nitrate of soda may be supplied.
You ean 't expect to have good roses if
you starve the plnnts.
It is the same with raspberries and
blackberries and more especially with
grajx?s. The latter are very heavy feed
ers and thrive on stnblo manure, which
should not bo dug deeply in the ground,
but just covered with soil; and, as the
roots travel far, the manure should be
scattered in a wide radius.
Prepared animal manures so treated
as to destroy weed seeds and concen
trated to reduce the bulk for convenient
transportation and use can be had of
most any seedsman or garden supply
house. These nro perfectly safe in t ho
hands of the amateur gardener and being
dry, finely pulverized and highly con
centrated are especially convenient and
effective. They eliminate the many
objectionable features of stable manures
and solve, the problem of supply of this
most necessary element in gnrden success
where manures for the lawn and garden
are often difficult to obtain.
This about sums up tho fertilizer ques
tion so fnr as the home gardener need to
bother his head, except for one point :
In September, it is a fine plan to plant
rye to grow through the winter and be
plowed under in the spring. The hens
will enjoy it when the ground is bare,
and it will help to fill the ground with
humus that word to be remembered.
