Select fifty citizens who try to have profitable gardens, ask them if they are entirely satisfied with the way their gardens are pro ducing, and we feel safe in mak ing the assertion that nearly ev ery one will answer "No." Let us suppose that each of the fifty gardens has been well manured until the ground is constantly nice and , mellow. Possibly, a few bushels of lime have occas ionally been applied. Still, the garden does not produce a satis factory all-round crop of vegeta bles. What is the matter? The chances are ninety-nine to one that phosphoric acid a neces sary element is lacking in the soil. Go at once to a dealer in fertilizers and purchase a sack of acid phosplate. It is low-priced costs less than a cent a pound. Use from twenty-five to fifty pounds being governed by the size of the garden. Spade the ground, sprinkle the phosphate over before raking, then rake it into the soil until well mixed with the top two or three inches. Un less you have half an acre or more of ground, a sack will be more than you need. Get your neighbors to join with you in the purchase. Remember, that the use of acid phosphate in this manner is meant only for gar dens that have been well manur ed. A different course must be followed for gardens that have not had an abundance of stable manure. We frequently hear it said that In days of old," when we had plenty of manure, and plenty of clover to plough down, the use of a little lime at long intervals was all that was needed to keep soil in good producing condition. Very true. Why, then, does not the same rule hold good to-day? Simply because one, two, or three of the necessary elements of plant food have escaped from the soil through long years of culti vation, or by leaching. If an abundance of stable manure has been used, then it is reasonable to suppose that two of them have been returned. But we know for a certanity that stable ma nure alone cannot return phos phoric acid as rapidly as plants take it out When God put Ad am into the garden, He told him to dress it and He meant just what he said. At the time Ad am began farming, the soil was "new" and, doubtless, contained all necessary elements in just the right proportion. But a wise Providence foresaw what would happen, and we firmly believe that the large deposits of nitro gen, rock-phosphate, potash, and lime, were made and hidden away in lonely places to be preserved for man's use when, by constant reaping, these' elements would disappear. In addition to ferti lizers, oil, coal, all the various ores, and a multitude of other things were intended to be dis covered and used by man when the time came that he realized his need of them. Well, some time ago, it was found that three necessary elements escaped from the soil during a longer or a shorter period of harvesting. The three elements are, nitrogen phosphoric acid, and potash. An abundant use of stable manure restores two of them nitrogen and potash; that is, we could get along fairly well without looking for them in any other carrier. But stable manure is too low in acid phosphate(five pounds to the ton) to depend entirely on it for sufficient supply. Hence, the great deposits of rock phosphate located at several places in the United States, were hunted up, quarried, the rock ground fine, and treated with sulphuric acid, and by right use, we restore the. proper balance of plant food ele ments. When it was first intro duced, the results were so aston ishing that a lot of people fool ishly concluded that this low priced fertilizer was "just the thing," and they abused its use until they have ruined their soil. Like all good things, acid phos phate has a rightful place, but like alcohol, it has been abused until great harm resulted, and this accounts for the enemies it has among a few who have witnessed the bad effects with out knowing all of the factors of the question. The manner of its use on land is like that of salt on food a pinch of salt brings out the flavor of an egg; but a handful would make a nauseous dose. Chautauqaa Organize! Miss Katbenne Heyser, of Philadelphia, spent a few days in McConnellsburg arranging for a Chautauqua to be held in McCon n ells burg next fall. The season will consist of a series of six lec tures and entertainments all first class, and tickets for the en tire course will cost but one dol lar and twenty five cents. With Cbautauqna courses, like rail roads, McConnellsburg has been a little bit conservative about tax mg bold, and have waited cau ti.'usly until they saw how they paid elsewhere. Nearly all the towns of importance in the Cum berland Valley have tried these courses, and were so much pleas ed, that they continue them from year to year.
