TO ra-teTJato Btaw Ilea et the EoU aad VkOda HorUcaltare, TiUealtar aad t CaUfia VlerteaW WorlMssi FertUlser Fola". The North Carolina College of Agri culture has sent out a warning advis ing farmers not to buy the fertilizer formulas that are being extensively advertised and sold. It says that la the first place, most of the formulas are of no value, and in the second place that the agricultural colleges are al ways ready to supply the very best formulas free. It then publishes a formula that had been purchased of one of these agents for 5. It says: One ton of the "fertilizer" would be made up as follows: 558 lbs. Stable manure. 8 lbs. Potash. 4 lbs. Nitrate of soda. 4 lbs. "Copperas." 12 lbs. Muriate of ammonia. 5 lbs. "Phosphate add." 98 lbs. Warm water. 81 lbs. Lime. 927 lbs. New dirt. 243 lbs. Ashes. 60 lbs. Salt 2,000 lbs. Total. Some of these ingredients call for special mention: The substance acid phosphate, or su perphosphate. Is in common use for, fertilizing purposes, and phosphoric acid is also known to the chemist, but there Is no such substance as "phos phate acid," and consequently, it Is im possible for the farmer to purchase it Muriate of ammonia Is not used for fertilizing purposes and Is not li censed for sale in the state for such purposes. The only portion of it which is of value to plants Is nitrogen, and it can be obtained more cheaply In the form of sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of soda, or organic substances. The di rections for making "Home Fertilizer" are .to mix the chemicals with warm water. Under these circumstances the ammonia will be set free by the potash and be lost Copperas has been used upon experi mental plots and found to be of no value in promoting plant growth. Nitrate of Soda Is valuable to plants when enough Is used. In the "Home Fertilizer" only four pounds per' ton of compost are used, and this quantity is too small to be of any value. The nitrogen In four pounds of nitrate of soda would be furnished by about three dead cats and three dead cats to the acre would not help the plants very much. Commercial potash Is a mixture of potassium carbonate, caustic potash and caustic soda. It Is not used for fertilizing purposes and is not licensed for sale for such purposes. It is ob jectionable because, on account of Its caustic properties, it would tend to set ammonia free, and because the fertilizing element which it furnishes can be obtained more cheaply from the potash salts which are found upon the market The actual potash in four pounds of commercial potash could be obtained from one bushel of ashes. Lime is of value on some soils, but when used it is best to apply it di rectly to the soil at the rate of one ton or more per acre. In the compost heap it sometimes aids and sometimes checks fermentation. Its value in the compost heap is questionable, and it Is not recommended for such use by the leading authorities. Salt does not furnish any element which is needed by the plant and It Is of no value in the compost heap. Many years ago It was used In the compost heap with lime, but it is no longer used in that way, as it Is considered to ba of no benefit Nearly one-half of a ton of "Home Fertilizer" is new dirt The only ob ject in using new dirt in a compost heap is to catch any ammonia which might otherwise be lost For this pur pose small quantities are sufficient When large quantities of new dirt are used the fertilizing strength of the compost is weakened and a large amount of unnecessary labor In hand ling is Involved. The Arrlcaltvral Resource of Alaska. In his report of work done by agents of the Department in Alaska, the Sec retary of Agriculture, states that head quarters have been established in a building erected for the purpose in bitka. A station has been located at Kenai, Cooks Inlet and reser vations of land for experimental work, have been made on ' the Yukon. The experiments thus far made have consisted largely in grow ing, different varieties of cereals, for age plants, flax, and 'vegetables. Ex periments in making and storing silage and in making hay from native grasses have been tried to a limited extent The correction of the acidity of new land with lime has been successfully tried. Sufficient evidence has been ob tained to show definitely that a con siderable variety of vegetables can be successfully grown in different parts of Alaska. It has also been shown that in southeastern Alaska and in Cooks Inlet oats, barley, buckwheat and spring wheat will mature with careful culture and that the failure of many attempts to grow crops in Alas ka has been due to the natural acidity of the soil and the lack of drainage. When these difficulties are removed by proper treatment the land is fertile and productive. Prof. Georgeson, who has investigated the Yukon valley, is very favorably impressed with its agricul tural possibilities. He found large' areas of excellent agricultural land and in the Dawson Chamber of Commerce he found fine specimens of wheat bar ley and oats raised last year. In July at the time he visited the valley, he did not find any snow even on the highest mountains. Previous to his visit the thermometer had twice rec orded a temperature of 96 degrees. In answer to criticisms that have been made of the work of the Department in Alaska, the secretary says: The problem which the department has un dertaken to work out is to determine whether a sufficient agriculture and horticulture can be developed in Alas ka to form an important subsidiary industry to aid in the permanent de velopment of mining, fisheries and lumbering which will undoubtedly be the leading Industries of this region. If all the food supplies of the popula tion engaged In these industries must be transported from, the United States and Canada, it is evident that the de velopment of Alaska will be , much slower and uncertain than If a con siderable. portion of these supplies can be produced in the territory. Horticultural Obssrvatlea. The question of what crops to grow in the orchard is constantly being dis cussed, but the tendency of the dis cussions Is to recommend that no ex hauatlTo crop be frown there. .Blue grass and other aod grasses should be avoided, as they deprlre the roots of the trees not only of food, but of nec essary moisture. This Is a great factor in a Ay season. Wo believe that the trend of public opinion Is In the right direction. a e The farmers that did not clean up tbelr orchards in the fall before the snow came should see to It that the work is not neglected In the spring. It should be begun as soon as the snow is off the ground. All the dead leaves and old twigs and other burnable rub bish should be raked up and burned. The clumps of grass in the fence cor ners should be disposed of in the same manner. This is for the sake of de stroying not only the eggs of insects but also the spores of destructive fungi, which live over on the fallen leaves and twigs. The latest investi gations show that many of our worst fungous pests are carried over from year to year on the rubbish under the trees. This to some degree accounts for the non-success of spraying Some times reported. With a thorough cleaning up of the orchard -the spray ing is generally effective. We say "generally,"- for the best medicines will sometimes fail to accomplish the end sought a The raising of long keeping varie ties of apples Is one of the surest way. of making money out of fruit W have watched the course of the appU industry for many years and have ob served that the supply of winter a? pies Is never too large. During man: years the call for this kind of fruit has been great at all of the great fruit distributing centers. The foreign trade will pay more for long keeping varieties of winter apples, even if ol poor quality (such :a the Ben Davis than they will pay for the very fines: quality of summer and fall apples. Th reason Is that if the summer and fall varieties are shipped abroad at all they must compete with the summer and fall varieties grown In those coun tries, while the later keepers, being sent abroad after the first of January, have the market to themselves. As a safe investment the orchard of-winter apples should commend Itself to even apple orchardist Treattaeat of Bovla Distemper. Bulletin 95 of the Virginia Experi ment station says: The treatment of bovine distemper may be divided Into hygienic and med icinal. The hygienic treatment con sists in allowing the animal plenty o. fresh air, at the same time, however severe weather or strong drafts should be avoided. The animal should havt plenty of good, nutritious and easil digested food. The medicinal treatment Is princi pally symptomatic Laxatives, diuret ics, antl-pyretics, alternatives and tonics are advocated. It is well to open the bowels at the onset of the disease with one pound o; common salts (magnesium sulphate). If the extremities are swollen, a doge of two ounces of nitrate of potash, given as a drench twice a day, often relieves the trouble, and at. the same time helps to lower the temperature. Where the temperature is very high and does not seem to be affected by the nitrate of potash, quinine may be given in drachm doses two or three times a day, dissolved In a little alco hol and given as a drench. When the animal is run down, sulphate of iron, two drachms, powdered nux vomica, one drachm, and powdered gentian, two drachms, given in a little corn meal night and morning, tend to build the animal up. If the breathing is difficult frequent inhalations of steam containing a little turpentine or tar as a rule work very nicely. When the nervous symptoms are severe, bromide of potash, four drachms, and tincture of cannabis in dica, one ounce, given every three hours, often quiet the animal. A two drachm dose of iodide of potash, night and morning, given either by itself or with the preceding powder, has an ex cellent alternative effect When the disease is complicated by pneumonia, it is well to blister the chest with a cantharides blister. The pulse should be watched very closely and if it be comes weak, one-grain doses of sul phate of strychnine should be adminis tered hypodermically. Steam should be r.XjMi& frequently. It may be well to ad 5, in conclusion, that the hygienic treatment Is generally all that Is neces sary in the mild forms of bovine dis temper, and that the more severe symptoms should be treated as they arise. Iatsrsstlac Facts ea Fotatres. The experiment station Record quotes from some experiments of Prof. E. S. Golf as follows: When potatoes are placed for a few minutes in brine the lightest or those of poorest quali ty and most deficient in starch rise to the top. By this method It is an easy matter with the aid of a hydrometer to determine the amount of starch and hence the quality of the potatoes. The author planted the light, the medium and the heavy potatoes as indicated by the brine test for two years in succes sion, and, unlike European investiga tors, noted no improvement in the quality of the crops as a result of this selection. He found that tubers grow ing nearest the surface were of lowest specific gravity or poorest quality, and that the specific gravity increased with the depth at which the potato grew. This he ascribes to the cooler tempera ture at which the tuber grew found at greater depths. He also found that potatoes grown in level culture, with the consequent lower temperature within the soil, had a greater specific gravity than those grown in hills. ladlaaa as raraa Laborers. There are now In this valley some thing like two hundred Indians who are working in the sugar beet fields. They receive six dollars per acre for pulling and topping. Every day from ten to twenty of them can be seen on our streets ambling along from one store to another where they soon ex change their cash for merchants wares. The Indians are a much more desirable class of field labor than the Chinamen because they spend nearly all their earnings here.

Dsveleslac Xathre The Unltsd States DepartsMnt ef Agricnltnre has mndcrtaksn a gssd work in the securing for experimental purposes the grasses that grow wild in this country. F. Lamson-Scribner, ag rostologlst ot the Department of. Agri culture, summarizes thus the work thai has been already done along this Una. According to the provisions of the act of congress, making appropriations for the Department of Agriculture for the fiscal year 1901, this division was di rected to purchase and collect seeds and specimens of valuable economic srasses and forage plants, to be distrib uted to the various experiment stations under the direction of the Secretary ot Agriculture, to ascertain their adapt ability to the various soils and climates of the United States. In order to carry out this direction, plans were made early In the season to undertake the work with the beginning of the fiscal rear. Mr. C. L. Shear, an assistant In :he division, was put in charge of the eed and field work, and immediately after July 1 he began work in the field, and several agents were employed to vork with him during the collecting eason. He was verbally instructed to nake the collection ot seeds of valu ible native grasses and forage plants che leading feature of his field work. There are many native grasses and 'orage plants of great economic value ;hat have never yet been Introduced nto cultivation. This is especially true if the grasses of the great cattle ranges f the West, which formerly grew In. uch abundance and which through over-stccking and mismanagement have row become almost extinct In the iropagatlon and cultivation of these .pedes, native to the soil and already acclimated, lies the hope of the ranch nan and the herder for restoring to heir former carrying capacity the now lepleted ranges and pastures. Partlcu ar effort has been directed to securing n quantity seeds of these wild range grasses; also those of probable value n the South for winter pasturage, .hose likely to prove good meadow grasses for high altitudes and those especially adapted .to binding shifting ,ands, for which there is so much de mand. Seeds of a few native grasses jf highly economic importance have jeen obtained by purchase from parties living in the remote regions where :hey grow. A number of varieties were obtained in this way from the vicinity jf Silver City, New Mexico. In all thl3 work it not infrequently happened that long and tedious Journeys had to be made to regions inaccessible to stock oefore grasses In seed could be found, and the collection was made by hand. ome four tons of seed of about one aundred and thirty varieties of grasses and forage plants were thus gathered, che quantities in each case varying irom one to five hundred 'pounds. Never before has so large an amount of native seeds been collected by the department How t Pack Apples. It is very essential that apples should be properly prepared for market In order that the best results may be ob tained, and It Is with this end In view that the following suggestions are sub mitted: Country shippers and packers of ap ples should make It a point to pack their fruit honestly; that Is, have the fruit run alike all through the barrel. Do not endeavor to cause deception by placing good, sound, large fruit on the top and bottom of the barrel, and fill in the middle wun a 101 oi suanj, wormy and decayed fruit. It does not pay. The deception Is easily detected upon investigation, and merchants do not care to have fraud practiced upon them, neither do they care to practice it upon their customers. Full regulation-sized barrels should be used. Take the barrel, one head out, nail the hoops, and break off the ends of the nails at the inside; place a layer or tier of apples, good and uni form sizes, 'smooth, bright healthy, as closely as possible, stem downward, on the lower end, then fill up, a basket full at a time, throwing out small wormy, gnarly and windfall apples, and shaking the barrel well after each deposit until it is full two lnchc3 above the rim; place the head squarely on the apples, and with a screw or lever press force It into place and nail se curely. Turn over the barrel and mark name of apple with red or black lead, or stencil. Bear in mind that, to be shipped safely, fruit must be packed tight, to prevent rattling or bruising. In shipping apples the first of the season early varieties shippers should see that openings are cut on the side of the barrels and also In both ends, to admit of free circulation of air, which will greatly help to bring apples through in good condition dur ing warm weather. Weal Crtsrs la Francs. A crisis in the wool market Is re ported from France, where more than a dozen firms that were big buyers of wool have suspended payment During the last two years there has been great fluctuation in the price of wool, and during the last year the price has been steadily declining. This has had the effect of leaving the big handlers stranded. The losses through the fall of prices is reported to be in the neigh borhood of $15,000,000. In the beginning of 1898 combed wool on time wa3 quoted at 77 cents per kilogram. This price rose steadily until there was an increase of 17 cents in twelve months. The year 1899 opened with a strong, rising market, and in December, 1899, the highest price ($1.20) was reached. These two years were prosperous cnes to all wool merchants, but 1900 opened with a fall ing market and during the last eight months wool has fallen in price more than 57 cents per kilogram. On Aug ust 30 there were no purchases at 67 cents per kilogram. The constant rise in the price of high-grade wools has been acccuated for by the dearth of merino sheep in Australia and Buenos Ayres, where the cross breeds seem to be driving high grade wool out of the market Pessi mistic accounts of the drought in Aus tralia and the mortality among the sheep were circulated in France, aad merchants, fearing a lack of raw ma terial, bought large quantities at ex ceedingly high rates. The market be came overstocked, and, the strikes and high price of coal diminishing the manufacture, merchants were left with their stocks on hand and a falling mar the immense competition of cotton. ket Another factor to be considered is Several mills recently have changed their machinery to that for the manu facture of cotton. The assistant state veterinarian of Texas recently found four cases of glanders among horses In Wilbarger county. In several instances the dis ease had proved fatal. It was said that the disease had been imported from the adjoining territory and its spread was caused by several trades. Tinware was first mads In this coun try in 1770, - - - . . .
