The good effect of a aoluhle lerlill terean sometimes be seen In a few hours. especially If Ihe application is soon followed by a gentle sbower that takes the substance down to the rools. Any tlsrl given young plants Is felt for good through out their whole life. In usingany concentrated fertilizer, care must be taken that it does not come in contact with seeds. If scattered thoroughly and thinly on the surface after sowing there, Is no danger,otberwise it should be mixed with tba toil. Beets; Including mangles, may be sown the.latt of tbe month.
