Bul, what about the vacant lot adjoining which we contemplate cropping next spring, or that piece of sod land that has to be turped under to give us more ground for potatoes and corn? The vacant lot will more than likely be a mass of rank weeds and grass, If turned under, the weeds and grass- es' will furnish humus, and no time should be lost in having this done. If the area is so large as to warrant it, the work should be done with the plow, which, with a chain attachment, will be able to get the tall weeds and grass well covered, To build up the fertility of the plot, it should be given a good dressing of finely powdered lime, applying it at the rate of one ton to the acre, or twenty pounds to each forty square ards. The soil is then worked and fitted for sowing with a cover crop which ay take the form of winter vetch and rye or rye alone. This will fur nish green manure and will be turned under in spring. THE JOBS HUMUS DOES. Humus adds greatly to the moisture holding capacity of the soil, which is of 80 much importance, during a dry season. It also consolidates a light soil and makes a heavy soil more porous, In addition to the humus which may be added in the form of green crops; we can aleo have free nitrogen by using a leguminous crop such as hairy or winter vetch. Whatever green crop is sown It should be plowed down early in spring. If allowed to grow uninterruptedly until spring 1s well advanced the tops may become so heavy that they will not decay quickly but will form a vacuum under the top layer of soil, which in the event of an early drought will dry out quickly. This is obviated by getting the vegetable matter down in good time. Land now in sod which is intended for cropping next spring should" be plowed this fall. This allows the grass and roots ample time partially to decay. Old sod land usually houses 'a host of undesirable insects over winter, but by plowing in the fall and aliow- ing the ground to lie rough, many of them will be destroyed. There should be a compost pile in every garden; in fact, we cannot do without it if much potting has to be done and where a special compost is required for hot beds, cold frames and raising seedling plants. The compost pile is made up prin- cipally of good turf taken from a pasture fleld, if possible; otherwise the next best available. The sods are cut about three inches thick and laid in layers, grass side down On top of two or three layers of sods we spread a: coat of manure or leaves. Upon: some of the layers bone meal is scattered, also ground rock phos- phate, continuing the pile with alter- nate layers of the foregoing until it is four feet or rather more in height and any desired width or length. Light dressings of lime should be added be- tween somedof the layers; it will keep the compost sweet. But do not bring it in direct contact with any layer of manure, If the sed is taken from heavy clay land an occasional layer %f sand or finely sifted coal ashes will improve it greatly, for a heavy retentive soll is not at all suitable for general potting, nor yet does it make a good seed bed. FROST. The top of the pile should be flat or slightly hollowed in the centre that it may hold the rain, which will assist greatly in rotting the vegetable mat- ter. Where practicable the compost heapishould be turned over and mixed thoroughly after it has lain for a 'month or two. Two.or three nights of frost will destroy all tender crops unless they are given some protection. We 'do not believe in being caught napping, so
