Stones and rubbish should be removed and clods of dirt broken. The surface should be made even and level as possible. Tt may then be marked off for planting in conformity with the general plan of the garden Barnyard or stable manure best fertilizer because it furnishes Poth plant food and humus. An ap- plication at the rate of from twenty to thirty tons to the acre of well- rotted manure is very satisfactory. This should be applied after plowing or working with a spade, and dis- m later worked in with a hoe and rake. On many soils it is advisable to apply commercial fertilizer, especially phos- phate, In addition to the manure. An application of 300 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre is usually sufficient. If additional potash is needed, which is often the case with sandy soils, this may be cconomically supplied in the form of wood ashes If the wood ashes are unleached they should be distributed over the garden, using 1,000 pounds to the acre. or leached, ,000 pounds should used. An application of 100 pounds to the acre of nitrate of soda may be used in the spring to start the plants Dbefore the nitrogen in the manure has become available.
