we poured it through the strainer,
and set the pan containing the clean

holder into the oven TO keep hot, and
let the wax drip from the debris

pouring fresh wax into the stralner
we emptied the debris from it into
the stove. IT a person had large

be handler to have a large strainer
made, and if it could be pressed into

OF any OF the fatal maladies going
under the name OF horn all, certain

A Cheap Fertilizer.

The Southern Planter says, that a
cheap fertilizer, nearly as good as

manner. First gather any quantity
of swamp muck into a pile to dry ;
measure off six barrels Of this, or of
any other rich black earth, into
another pile, and add the following
salts previously dissolved in a.barrel
Or more OF water viz: forty pounds

The Effects of the Late Freeze upon
Orange Orchards.
From the Ne,o Orleans Times.

From the Ne,0 Orleans Times.
Much damage has resulted from
the effects OF cold upon the orange
orchards in the Gulf States, nearly all
of which have lost the major part of
their foliage, and in some instances
caused the bark to split and slough
away from the younger trees. AS
far as we can learn all the lemon
trees have been killed to the ground,
while the shaddocks, citrons, man
darins and tender species of the citrus
family have suffered terribly, and in
stances been killed.
THE CROP.
The main portion OF our oranges
were gathered and shipped previous
to the cold snap. We hear OF some
few unfortunate individuals who lost
very heavily, one person having paid
the large sum Of $l2,0 900 tor the crop
on the trees, all of which was frozen
and thereby made worthless.
CARE OF TREES DAMAGED BY FROST.
We have received numerous in
quiries from persons anxious to know
how they may assist their trees III
recovering from the effects OF the
cold. A subscriber of the Times, Il
man OF experience, advises pruning
the tops OF the older trees, and en-
riching the soil thoroughly by the ap.
plication of superphosphate bone
dust or similar fertilizers, thus assist
ing nature in her task OF putting on
new foliage and blossoms at the same
time. The Younger treesS which
have been badly frozen, to be9cut off
near the surface of the ground, and
allowed to throw up new shoots
allowing the strongest one to grow
and become the future tree.
MESPILUS.
The crop OF Mespilus, or Japan
plum as it is generally called, seems
to have been cut off almost entirely
by the cold weather. The trees,
however are very green and vigorous.
showing conelusively that the tree
itself may be classed as perfectly
hardy in the Cult States.
Where it is possible by grating in
some other variety Of stock to change
the season OF bearing we think this
fruit might be a source of consider
able profit to our fruit growers.

The Tangerjne Orange.
From the Dispatch.

From the Dispatch.
The impression seemed to have
prevailed previous to the late cold
wave that the Tangerine orangei is, as
the lime and guava, tropical fruit,
and not as the orange, semi-tropical !;
hut from the experience OF Dr.
Morange, of Palatka, we learn that
while orange trees and fruit were
effected by the cold in the last week
of December, the Tangerine trees in
his grove did not lose Leaf nor drop
the fruit. The trees were among his
grove, in different positions, not spe.
cially protected nor having received
any treatment differing in any re-
spect from the attention given other
varieties. This is an important fact
il demonstrated to be such to all Sec
tions affected by this freeze that
were cultivating the Tangerine, Man
DARN or kid glove orange, this being
the different names by which this
variety is called by the growers.

grow in height twice as fast as stalks
which stand alone, which is unnatural,
and, of course, injurious.
| think = very large majority OF
farmers loose one-tourth to one>thlrd
the Weld by seeding too heavily, and
not being particular to leave the best
stalks tor the stand. When l moved
to this place eight years ago the
farmers all regarded 1t as impossible
to produce a bale of cotton on an
acre of the richest land, aud it was a
common remark, Il wouldn't believe
il had neen done ii man should
swear it," But several of them, by
following my plan OF cultivation,
have produced bale per acre this
unfavorable season, on land that is
not rich. Good preparation, clean,
turrow, with No loose dirt In 1T, OF
uniform depth Of one ami halt to
two inches deep, according to soil
and circumstances, in which to plant
the seed, and good cultivation with
out breaking the roots of the cotton
throughout the season, will, in my
opinion, insure the best possible yield
so tar as cultivation is concerned.
As nearly all who have written to
me seem to take much interest Ill the
matter OF fertilizers, l will close with
a few thoughts on that subject In
the first place, all tertllizing elements
pertaining 10 the farm should be
carefully preserved. Cheap sheds
should be provided for all the cattle,
and suitable protection against the
weather tor farm animals OF every
description, all of which should be
supplied with the most suitable ma
terial within reach TO absorb and re-
tain the animal excretions all OF
which should be composted with a
high grade acid phosphate, which is
the only fertilizer that the farmer
would need under the circumstances,
and the best guano would cease to
be a question OF SD much Importance.
In our State, where the law affords
no protection against swindlers, 1t is
question OF much greater importance
than in your State. Many in this
section have been badly imposed
upon, but have found an honest firm
at last, and will be apt to profit by 1t
in the future.

Scale and Smut.

From the st. Barbara Press.
At the meeting of the Horticultu-
raj Society there was no disasters
from trosts reported for this county
a point greatly in our favor, as the
losses from this source have been
severe in other localities, even to the
southwark. Mr.. Harper reports the
Navel orange as more free from scale
and smut than any other variety |;
has specimens growing side by side
with those badly affected, without
disease on the part OF the Navel. Re-
tered also to very fine orange
grove growing In the Montecito,
belonging to Mr.. Shepherd, and con-
sidered it one of the most promising
young orchards in this section, hav-
ing received excellent care. All
unite in attesting the virtne of hot
suds OF whale oil soap, at 1902, for
cleansing trees from insects, the scale
bug particularly, raising the tempera>
ture to 1902, until the moment it is
applied. Absolute dissolution is the
ouly cure for the scale, and this &C.
complishes it. Some were successful
in throwing ashes over the trunk and
stems after rain. Mr.. Sheffield re-
ports freeing an oleander in this way
after irrigation with an occasional
repetition
