LIME AND COW PEAS. 
J. B. 8 ., Baltimore, Md. —I am applying 
to this year’s cornfield 40 bushels of 
water-slaked lime per acre, and had in¬ 
tended sowing cow peas at last cultivation, 
to be turned under next Fall for a green 
manure for wheat. I understand the cow 
pea is one of the plants that does not re¬ 
quire lime and docs not thrive well on 
newly limed soils. I am very anxious to 
get as much vegetable matter in this fbil 
as possible, hut as the field contains 00 
acres I do not want to spend money for 
that amount of seed if it will not give the 
desired result. 1 should like to be ad¬ 
vised as to the chances of securing a stand 
of cow peas, also if there is any other crop 
that can be sown as above for the same 
purpose. 
Ans. —We want actual experience 
regarding cow peas and lime. On our 
farm the cow pea does not respond to 
lime as clover does. We get better 
crops of cow peas on a neutral or 
slightly acid soil. We should much 
prefer to use the lime when plow¬ 
ing the cow peas under. With us, too, 
corn responds to lime less than other 
grains. In this case we should not 
lime the soil this Spring, but sow the 
cow peas after corn, plow them under 
and then use the lime before seeding 
to wheat. For a crop to make a large 
growth between the last corn cultivat¬ 
ing and wheat sowing, a mixture of 
dwarf Essex rape and Cow-horn tur¬ 
nips will do. This will make a heavy 
growth. It will not add nitrogen to the 
soil as the cow peas would, but it will 
add vegetable matter—and lots of it. 
We would like to hear from Southern 
farmers about the effect of lime upon 
cow peas. 
Forcing Young Tomato Plants. 
M. G. N., Waterford, O .—Would liquid 
manure or nitrate of soda be useful in 
forcing early tomatoes, and how, when, 
and in what quantities should it he ap¬ 
plied? My cold frame soil is of leaf-mold 
and used one year. I have nitrate of 
soda, acid phosphate and ashes. What shall 
I apply and how much? 
Ans. —In trying to answer M. G. N.’s 
question, I am at a loss to know 
whether he means forcing the plants 
in his cold frames, or forcing the crop 
after it is transferred to the field. In 
my many years of practice with this 
crop from seed to market T have ex¬ 
perimented with many soils and various 
kinds of fertilizers, and have found 
that stimulating witli any great quan¬ 
tity of soluble nitrogen is a dangerous 
practice. It causes a rapid succulent 
growth, making the plant tender, and 
not able to withstand the vicissitudes 
of an outdoor climate, when transferred 
to the field. It is recommended by 
some, and I have practiced it in a lim¬ 
ited degree myself, to dissolve a tabic- 
spoonful of nitrate oi soda to each gal¬ 
lon of water and sprinkle the plants 
with the solution, but unless this is 
followed by a thorough wetting with 
clean water -immediately, it will burn 
the foliage, and do far more damage 
than good. If used at all it should 
be sprinkled by hand, dry between the 
rows of plants, and then washed in 
by a thorough wetting. I prefer, how¬ 
ever, to mix with my top soil, when 
working it up prior to making my beds, 
blood or meat tankage at the rate of one 
to pound, to soil required for each 
sash. This is usually all that is needed. 
It gives a slower, steadier growth, and 
a stronger plant, one that will stand 
more and do better work when set in 
the field. In preparing a field for the 
early tomato crop with the fertilizer 
ingredients that inquirer has at hand, 
I would broadcast the field with 500 
pounds acid phosphate and at least two 
tons of ashes. Apply in the hill, when 
setting, a handful of high-grade, fer¬ 
tilizer, analyzing about 5-5-5, this to 
be well mixed with the soil. As soon 
as plants are well started side-dress with 
200 pounds to 250 pounds nitrate of 
soda per acre, this to he applied in a 
plow furrow and covered by throw¬ 
ing another over it. Many think that 
applying nitrate of soda on the sur¬ 
face is sufficient but I find T obtain 
better results by applying as stated 
above. c. c. hulsart.
