FORCING FERTILIzERs.-Most farmers ex-
press themselves perfectly satisfied with barn.
yard manure, thinking that sufficient to meet
the requirements of any crop, and, in fact,
they do not know that one crop differs from
another in the quality of its fertilizing food.
Barn yard manure is excellent, and. being
homemade. is the cheapest infallible resource
of the farmer But there are crops which
require stronger element added to it. In
the majority of farm crops. the most power
full fert'ilsIng ingredients are phosphate of
lime and potash. If farmers can be practi-
caliy taught that, with this intermixture of
those two elements to their manure, any kind
of crop can be made to paw back the cost in
a tenfold ratio, thus enabling their home
made manure to go over larger surface.

plished IN the improvement of the agricul-

In the various silk producing regions of the
world, the silk worm is seriously diseased.
This is owing to the want of care on the part
of those who raise eggs to sell. In France
and Italy the malady is great that healthy
eggs are in great demand. The silk enter
prise in California is of great promise, owing
to the healthy worms that have been produc
ed and to the vigor with which the mulberry
grows. Saying nothing of the production
of silk, it will for considerable time be
most profitable business to grow the eggs for
sale. But as yet they have small supplies
themselves, nor are there mulberry planta-
tations to any extent gentleman of
Santa Clara County has devoted much time
and care to the business, and specimens of
manufactured silk have been shown. He is
increasing his worms and mulberry grounds
others are doing little, but the majority are
waiting the results of his experiments, which
thus far, are highly encouraging. TO encour
age this enterprise the State gives premium
of $3.50 for 500 or more mulberry trees two
years old. and $500 for each loo, 900 silk
cocoons in good condition.
