The Orange on the China Lemon.

In answer to query in your last is
sue, regarding the budding of the or
ange on lime stock, l would say that
our experiments in that direction
have been in the highest degree sat-
isfactory. The bud, so worked, is
exceedingly vigorous, healthy and not
at all dwarfed. Commenting on the
above, you say: SThe use of the
lemon stock is generally condemned
and has nearly gone out of practice,
although once c5Emon in this State
This, though undoubtedly correct,
may be liable to cause misconception
among some. The seeding lemon,
properly so-called, is beyond question
entirely unfit for budding purposes.
Besides being wanted in vigor it is
subject to all diseases known to the
citrus tribe; but this is not the case
with the so-called
CHINA LEMON,
which, in fact, is not lemon at all,
but a species of citron nN.
No one, after seeing the numerous
orange orchards, in this part OF the
State, budded on the China lemon,
and noting their healthy and vigor
Gus appearance, their exceptirnal
growth and wonderful bearing pow
ers, would condemn the use of this
root as stock for budding. | would
recommend, to anyone inclined to
question the usefulness OF the China
lemon for stock, tour through the
orange orchard of D. G. Hayward, OF
this village. The oldest trees on this
plantation were set out only six years
ago, yet they already have the ap-
pearance of old bearing trees, 500 or
600 oranges on a tree being common,
and in one or two cases even as many
as 1,000-a sufficient retutation of the
Spanish proyerb that, Gle who plants
an orange grove will never live to
eat the fruit" and this is owing in a
great measure to the vigorous quail
ties of the China-lemon root.
Numerous other orchards IN this
vicinity could be cited in support of
this fact, G. 3. Adams, of San Ga
briel, has an orchard on this root
which, it is admitted has made the
finest growth in San Grbriel. Mr..
Messengers orchard, too, in the same
vicinity, is largely composed OF bud
ded trees on this root; the trees are
IL years old and are bearing abun.
dainty. Many others, as Emery, OF
Riverside; Metcalf, near the Coyote
House, and Korn, of Anahelm, bear
testimony to the value OF the China
lemon as stock. e
In conclusion, it may be worth
while to note that Gallesio, author OF
a celebrated treatise on orange cul-
ture, states that the orange groves OF
Sicily are all budded on the cltron,
China lemon, and though he himself

The Supply Of lockwood

Sir Joseph Hooker, in his last an
nual report on Kew Gardens, makes
the following remarks on the supply
OF lockwood
"For some years past the supply OF
this important wood has diminished
in quantity and risen in price. 1t is
derived from the forests of the eau
casus, Armenia and the Caspian
shores. The wood of the best quality
comes from the Black-Sea forests,
and is principally shipped from the
port of Poti The produce of the Cas-
plan forests, known in the trade as
Persian wood until last year, was
also exported through the Black Sea
from Taganrog. This found its way
after the commencement OF the war,
via the Volga canal, to st. Peters
burg. The produce of the Caspian
forests is softer and inferior in
quality to that of the Black Sea-
1t Is matter of interest to see
whether one result of the war will
be to open these Black Sea forests
which the Russian Government has.
hitherto KEEP vigorously closed. The
falling off CT the supply has led,
meanwhile, to various attempts 10
find substitutes for lockwood for
many purposes. Messrs. Joseph
Gardner & Sons, of liverpool, have
introduced, with some success, the
American dogwood (Con,aes .foridd)
and persimmon (Diospyros Virgin
iaaa) for shuttle making, for which
purpose box has hitherto been in
great demand The diminished sup
ply has also drawn attention TO the
Himalayas as a source"
Itseems, however, that the difficulty
of transit from the mountains to the
seaboard is found to be the grea5 OBJ
stacle; and, in addition thereto, the
possible supply appears to be much
smaller than is furnished from exist
ing sources. Mr.. r. j. Scott has
presented to the Kew Museums
blocks prepared for wood engraving
Of hawthorn, which, he states, " is by
far the best waod after box that he
has had the opportunity oftesting. >

To terminate Spanish Glover Seed

The kernel of Spanish clover seed
when matured and dry, is very hard
and when put i'll the ground, will
remain perfectly sound from three to-
six, and even twelve months before
they will sprout. When planted in
the fall or early winter, from Octo-
Der until the first of January, will
sprout and come up in early spring
and summer; when planted in Feb
ruary and March, will come up dur
ing the rainy season IN summer, and
when planted in June, July and
August, should be soaked week OF
ten days, OF until they begin to
swell, then roll in ashes dry enough
to drop and press in with the foot
or roller while dropping, and you
will secure a good stand in few
days if it should be showery weather.
The habit of the plant while young
is similar to that of the seed. The
top grows off very snowy at first but
pull up one Of the plants and you
will find that the main tap root has
not been idle. in making its way to
the subsoil.
After the plant begins to joint and
bloom simultaneously the main root
sends out it's. feeders, then the tap
root grows very rapidly and up to
that time the crop should be cult
waited clean. Il. gives the plant a
start, they take possession of the land
and shade out all other grasses that
may come up afterwards, A'well
matured plant when cut in the fall
during the dryest Of weather the
ground will be wet several inches
around the stubble for couple Of
days, which is proof of its power of
capillary attraction, absorbing the
chemical salts of the subsoil which
are liable to enter into the sap of
plants which certainly gives 1t pre-
eminence to all other plants as veg
etable fertilizer-Mat Coleman, IN

Rights of Voters.

TO the Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR: Will you do the writer and others
equally interested the favor of replying,
through the columns of your paper to the fol-
lowing questions:
l. Does a person, having once been entitled
TO vote in State, forfeit his right to vote by not
exercising it for an indefinite period--say ten
years-if he has continuously resided in the
District of Columbia during that time?
g How would the fact of his having voted
for local officers under the late Territorial
fOlm of Government here affect his right TO
vote at a general election in his native State
g. Does 1t make any difference whether one
is or is not in the service of the General
Government, so far as the preservation of his
right TO vote in State is concerned?

we understand the case, that

vide rs TO what constitutes the right to

the terms of qualification established
thereby. To be voter in New York re-

voting place at the same time, for any o ce,
whether local, State or National hence the
voting for local Office in the District of
Columbia, us that act implies residence,
would seem to disqualify voter from
voting in any other locality the same year
3. The only person who can have a resi-
dence in the District of Columbia and vote
in any State, is he who is in Government
employ aud holds his residence here tenn

where in the United States where lie may

SENATOR VANCE of North Carolina, Is
ut once an authoritative and indiscrect ex-
ponent of the true inwardness of the South
ern Democracy. He declares, from the
standpoint of insolent and self-sullicient
Bourbon Democracy, that the equality of
citizenship is myth, which isundoubtedly
true in the South; and therein resides his
indiscretion, for it is the habit of your
average Bourbon to acclaim louder than
any one else his devotion to the principles of
the Declaration Of Independence He says;
Many Northern people have an idea that
every man in the land is the equal of others In
every respect-that Republicans aud Demo-
crats arc the same class of people, and enjoy
the same privileges. theoretically that is so,
practically u is not.
Undoubtedly the Senator had in his
minds eye, when he uttered this truthful
sentiment, the difference between theory
and practice as illustrated in Mississippi
latterly and in his own State of North Caro-
lima during the dark and bloody days of
Ku Kluxism in 1S71-2-3 But if he keeps
on talking this way, and making such in
discreet though truthful admissions, it will
become the duty of the censorous guard
ians of his party to clap muzzle on his
reckless chin

the nssassin's pistol. The slur about NIX
being "a first-class sham political martyr"
only shows the readiness of the NelCs and
Courier to condone crime when it has been
committed against colored Republican.
Such ribaldry wears CORY hue, is poorly
concealed by its flippancy, and reflects no
credit upon candid journalism. 1t further
says;
The idea of anybody being In n conspiracy
against worthless fellow like NIX is simply
absurd. If he has been shot or shot at, It will
probably be found that whisky, instead of
politics, was at the bottom Of the crime.
The Nctrs and Courier seems to forget
in this accounting for the crime, that poll
tics and whisky are synonymous In the
Bourbon party, and that without whisky
the Democratic party would have but fee
bic existence in this country. Its main pill
lars are ignorance, intemperance, vice and
crime.
