Wood Aslies. 
Wood ashes, the best of saline manures, 
are also counted with the most economical, 
because in many sections of the country 
these are largely produced l>y every house¬ 
hold. Ashes improve all soils that are de¬ 
ficient in the principles which they contain, 
and are especially adapted to root crops, 
grains and grasses. Ashes when applied in 
connection with bone-dust, produce excel¬ 
lent results on turnips, potatoes,—all the 
roots, in fact—clover, peas, beans and the 
grasses. Ashes and gypsum mixed, form 
an admirable dressing. Leached ashes, 
having been deprived of a part of their pot¬ 
ash and soda, represent only about one-half 
of the value of the unleached; hence should 
be applied in nearly or quite double the 
quantity of the latter. The quantity of un¬ 
leached wood ashes that should be applied 
to the acre varies with the character of the 
■oil and crop. Rich soils and clay lands 
call for heavier dressing than do light soils; 
■ay fifteen bushels for the last named and 
thirty bushels for the former. Ashes are 
applied in a variety of ways. They may be 
drilled in the soil, sown broadcast, or mix¬ 
ed with the muck heap. Repeating the 
dressings of ashes without a sufficient 
amount of vegetable or yard manure will 
in time prove detrimental, but there is not 
much danger of this mistake nowadays. 
Farmers appreciate the value of their wood 
ashes, and are anxious to distribute them 
over such a variety of crops that no one 
field is likely to get too much. Coal ashes 
are decidedly inferior to wood ashes and 
depend largely on their mechanical influ¬ 
ence for value. They are better adapted to 
heavy than to light soils.
