STOCKTON, January 5th.-stockton is growing
steadily The building season has passed. but active
operations in building will be resumed about April
list. There are many projected improvements in
town. which will be carried out with the opening oi
spring weather. Our manufactures are running
the full winter force of men. The average increase
of work in agricultural implement manufacto-
ries is from 20 to 40 per cent last season. Two
large shops for building the combined haryesters
aud thrsshers have been erected by Messrs d.
Young & Bouser. The carriage manufactures ere
all running well up order work. Sperry's -four
ing mills made 1885, COO barrels of flour last year. and
paid $4,000 for employees alone. A further i'm
provement of the channel by dredging is contem-
plated at an early day. About 10, 900 carloads of
gravel has beenor wshorty be used on the streets
this city The prospects for an active business spring
and summer better. The cropprospects are
good the east and fair the west side but with
out heavy rains the west side crops will be failure
San Joaquin county has as good foundation for a
heavy crop as was ever known and with ordinary
spring rains the east side will produce enormously.
The present condition of the crops is as good as
could be desired. Much of the falow grain is from
four to six inches high, covering the ground COM
pletely The plain land requires little rain, and has
all been planted. The black land around Stockton
was never in better condition for working. The
chieffarming centers-stockton, Pennington Water
loo and Linden-report splendid prospects,
but with a demand for rain. Enough rain
has not fallen to insure good harvests
on the soils outside of the sedi-
mentary lard which surrounds those localities
named The upland has all been planted,
and the teams are now turning the summer fallow
The tule land is being put in rapidly. Seeding

About 50 900 acres additional of tule land will be
seeded this winter. The inducements to emigrants
cannot be said TO be very many Skilled labor is in
demand in all manufacturing branches There is no
public land ia the county save portion running
into the coast range where farmers would not set
tle Farming land IS high-from $50 to 500 per
acre, and little is offered at those rates. The oppor
tunites for renting farm lands limited the heavy
ranchers desiring all there is to rent for their own
work. Farm laborers are a drug in the market now

Preserving Fence Posts.

Mr.. Parker Earle, the well-known
horticulturist, writes to the Chicago
Times
"In building fence around our young
orchard, several years ago, we tried many
plans for preserving the posts. Having
occasion to remove the fence this winter,
we noted the condition of the posts as
follows: Those set with no preparation
were decayed an inch or more in thick
ness; those coated with thick wash of
lime were better preserved, but were
quite seriously attacked by worms; those
posts coated with hot tar were perfectly
sound as when first put in the ground;
those painted with petroleum and kero-
sene were equally sound and as good as
new. In future we shall treat all posts
in the following manner before setting
Let the posts get thoroughly dry, and
then, with a pan of cheap kerosene and
a whitewash brush, give the lower third
of the post, the part to 90 into the
ground, two or three good applications of
the oil, letting it soak in well each time.
Posts so treated will not be troubled by
worms or insects of any kind, but will
resist decay to a remarkable degree.
This we find to be the simplest, easiest,
cheapest, and best method of preserva-
ton"

D. 4. SUNK, Esq, South Rjver, ". c. ]:
Dear Sir,-I take pleasure in replying
Immediately to your letter of the 9th
received to-day.
The success Of a fertilizer as a special
manure for tobacco depends not only
upon the amount of phosphoric acid
ammonia and potash which it contains.
but also upon the sources from which
these ingredients are derived. 1t should
be what we know as complete manure.
Should contain about
~ to Is per cent Phosphoric acid in all forms.
3 to e" Potash.
The phosphoric acid should be fur
nished by dissolved animal bone, and
should be present both as soluble and
reverted.
The nitrogen should be furnished from
nitrate of soda, ulphate of ammonia. and
from some animal matter.
The potash should be high grade sui
phate and some chloride.
The following materials are used to
make high grade tobacco fertilizers
Bone, nitrate of soda, Peruvian guano,
sulphate of ammonia, animal nitrogen,
sulphate Of magnesia, sulPhate Of potash,
and plaster
With the above to guide you, you can
select, from the pamphlet Of analysis,
which | send, fertilizer to suit you in
quality and cost.
Or, if you wish to compost your own
fertilizer, you will find some advice upon
that subject in the Bulletin for February
which send. I always advise farme {
to mix their own manures when pract
cable. They then know exactly what
they are putting on the land, and their
fertilizers only cost about half as much
on an average as the commercial articles,
You will find either of the following q
good reliable formula by which to make
2 compost.
