FARM AND GARDEN MATTERS OF INTEREST TO AGRICULTURISTS. Soma l'p-to-Data HlaU About CuIUtu tlon at the Soil and Yield* Thereof— Horticulture, YlUeultor* and Floricul ture. Effect of Lime on Acid Soils. At the Rhode Island College of Ag riculture tests were made to ascertain the value of lime on acid soils. Some of the results were as follows: hemp. . The growth of this plant Is decidedly helped by liming. BARLEY. (From Germany.) The following Is a record of the weights of total crop taken immedi ately upon cutting: Pounds. Unlimed sulphate of ammonia plot . .. Limed sulphate of ammonia plot. .0.26 Unlimed nitrate of soda plot.0.10 Limed nitrate of soda plot.0.96 Pounds. Unlimed sulphate of ammonia plot . 2.00 Limed sulphate of ammonia plot. 7.75 Unlimed nitrate of soda plot-4.76 Limed nitrate of soda plot.12.30 BARLEY. (Mansbury.) Pounds. Unlimed sulphate of ammonia plot .0.66 Limed sulphate of ammonia plot..6.50 Unlimed nitrate of soda plot.2.55 Limed nitrate of soda plot.7.50 The experimenter says: “Regardless of the fact that a long interval of time had now elapsed since lime was ap plied, the limed plots, as in former years, gave, in every Instance, greater returns than the unlimed ones. Nitro gen in nitrate of soda proved decidedly superior to nitrogen in sulphate of am monia.” OATS. The trial of oats was made for the purpose of ascertaining if benefit from lime would be still noticeable several years after its application. The oats were cut at maturity and weighed im mediately without drying. The results follow: Pounds.' -Unlimed sulphate of ammonia plot.10-2® Limed sulphate of ammonia plot. 13.25 Unlimed nitrate of soda plot-12.00 Limed nitrate of soda plot.15.25 SPRING RTE. Pounds. Unlimed sulphate of ammonia plot .2-20 Limed sulphate of ammonia plot.. 1.35 Unlimed nitrate of soda plot.2.05 Limed nitrate of soda plot.2.45 The results indicate no benefit from lime upon the sulphate of ammonia plots, and the good growth upon the unllmed one is in harmony with previous observations, which go to show that spring rye can withstand acid conditions exceptionally well. COW-PEA. (Whippoorwill.) The experimenter says: Certain legumes, such as clover and alfalfa, are almost failures upon our acid soil unless lime is employed. Others, such as Serradella and the Lupines, have Invariably been injured by liming, at least at an interval of a year or two after its application. The soy (soja) bean has been found to be admirably adapted to our acid soil, and, owing to the great promise of the cow-pea, 1 especially for use as green manure, it has been thought best to test it in this particular. The following weights are those of undried material: Pounds. Unllmed sulphate of ammonia plot .73.0 Limed sulphate of ammonia plot. .61.0 Unlimed nitrate of soda plot.69.5 Limed nitrate of soda plot.55.5 It will be seen that lime proved in jurious in connection with nitrate of soda and with sulphate of ammonia. In fact, the greatest yield was obtained upon the unlimed sulphate of ammo nia plot where beets, lettuce, spinach and asparagus cannot exist. Next In or der is the yield from the other unlimit ed plot, which from its manurial treat ment is naturally less acid than the unllmed sulphate of ammonia plot Of the two limed plots, that which is most acid gave a greater yield than the other. These results show the great adaptability of the cow-pea to acid soil. The Evils of Free Seed Distribution. In bis annual report the secretary of agriculture states that In carrying out the mandates of congress in the line of free seed distribution, the de partment will exercise greater care than ever before to -ecure a high standard of purity and germination that will place these seeds above the reproach that they were old or in ferior stock that bad been palmed off on the government by unscrupulous seed dealers. The secretary also says: “There is, however, another improve ment which I propose to inaugurate in the congressional distribution. The department has maintained for some years past a trial ground, in which it has made comparative tests of the standard varieties of vegetables, and also of many of the novelties which are placed on the market by American seedsman. These experiments have shown that each year there are of fered new varieties of established su periority, which the department with out difficulty can secure and distrib ute. By proper handling, these novel ties can be purchased at prices little if at all higher than those of the com mon varieties heretofore included in the congressional distribution. Fur thermore, it will be remembered that three years ago, with the permission of congress, 1 set apart from the seed appropriation a fund to be devoted to the introduction of new and valu able seeds and plants from foreign countries. The plants thus introduced have been tested by the various state experiment stations, by properly qual ified private experimenters, and by the department itself, most of our own experiments having been conducted on the Potomoc Flats testing grounds, placed at our disposal two years ago by authority of congress and by per mission of the secretary of war. Several plants thus introduced have, as heretofore reported, demonstrated their capacity of Increasing the agri cultural products of our country by millions of dollars annually. Some of these seeds should be very widely dis tributed. It Bhould, therefore, be the policy of the department to Introduce into the congressional seed distribu tion new varieties of established su periority developed in the United States or imported from foreign coun tries, to distribute these varieties for one or more years until they have been sufficiently brought to the attention of the people, and then to discontinue their distribution, leaving the demand thus created to be supplied through the ordinary commercial channels. In this way the department will be enabled to carry out the original intent of the seed-distribution law, will furnish seeds of the highest character, and will avoid the evil of competition with the regular seed trade. Horllfialtnral Observation*. It is said that the United States De partment of Agriculture has received information of the existence of some new plants, which, it is hoped, may be added to those we now have. One is a cabbage now raised in Australia and New Zealand. It is said to stand drouth remarkably well and to be in sect-resisting. Another plant la an African cucumber. It is said to be orange in color, about six inches long and spiny. The fruit is said to be good to eat, though the plant is grown mostly as an ornament. This was once true of our common tomato. A third plant exists in Java and is known as the podded radish. The pods are long, crisp and of good flavor and grow in great abundance. The number of commercial cran berry growers in the United States is over 2,000. The states most largely interested in the growing of this berry are Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minne sota, Oregon. Cranberries keep their high price year after year and the de mand for them constantly widens. There are many bogs in our western states that might be utilized for the production of cranberries. The diffi culty here seems to be that the grow ing of cranberries had a boom once and the boom collapsed, leaving a lot of bad records behind. With proper caution there Is no more chance for failure in growing cranberries than anything else. Eri ot Common Squash Bag. The accompanying illustration shows the eggs of the common squash b .—'Egg of Anasa Irislit: a, from below, showing point of attachment; b, from side, showing place of escape of nymph; c, sculpture of egg; d, egg cluster—a, b, about fire times natural size; d, one-fourth enlarged; c, great V enlarged (original). Dug. mey are shining and dark coppery or bronzy i n a p p e arance. When first laid they are whitish, but change in col or. They are flattened on three sides and when viewed from the ends are t r i a n g ular. Egg masses are deposited usually on the lower surface or a rear, out very orten also on tne upper surface and on the stems. The nymph makes its escape by forcing a hole through one end of the egg, as shown at "b” of the illustration. Peculiarities of California Products. A report from the Agricultural Ex periment Station of California Btates that analyses show that the protein content (flesh-forming Ingredients) is uniformly higher in eastern vegetables than that yielded by the California product, and the same is true regard ing the flours of that state, which contain more starch than eastern flours, the fat percentage of both be ing about equal. The report also states that Califor nia apples from high elevations con tain at least four or five per cent more sugar than eastern apples, and even the valley apples have two to three per cent more sugar than Euro pean apples. The American Pippin, from Amador county, grown at an ele vation of 5,000 feet, showed the maxi mum sugar content, viz., 15.85, and with this the highest amount of acid in the juice 55 per cent. The yellow Newton Pippin grown In the same county ranked next, with 13.51 per cent of sugar, and a high acid con tent. * Analyses of the pine nut (pignon) of California and comparison with oth er nuts, shows that it is exceedingly rich in albuminoids containing nearly twice as much of this nutrient as the ordinary walnut, over 60 per cent more than that yielded by the almond, and nearly 25 per cent in excess of the protein content of peanuts and cheese. It rates lower in fat than the walnut and the almond, but higher than eith er peanuts, or cheese. The pine nut retails for 30 cents per pound and is largely used by candy manufacturers. Potatoes grow oest on deep, warm loams. The heavy clays and weak, sandy soils are more unsuited to their growth, though with plenty of manure the last named may give good crops. Peaty soils produce very good tubers. After a long time, drains sometimes get out of place through some subsi dence of the ground. If not attended to the injury slowly Increases and at last an extremely damp state of ground is produced. For starching fine linen use Magnetic 8tarcb.
