TnE days are growing exceeding few
when Republicans, as party, will have
to step down and out in the administra-
ton Of the affairs Of these United States,
and 1t is quite safe TO say that there will
be as much prosperity and as much bust
ness and general satisfaction as If Mr..
Blaine had been the lucky man. The
great parties are too evenly divided to
make the downfall of one and the adj
vancement of the other the means of
affecting the soundness or prosperity OF
the country, coupled, of course. with the
growing sentiment In favor of protec-
ton, which, also. is in the majority in
the new Congress. The Inauguration
Of Mr.. Cleveland will be grand affair,
and 1t should be, and his administration
should, and no doubt will, be highly
creditable to him and to his party. Mr..
Cleveland himself is conservative man
and is not likely to go to any extre me,
and for that reason there need be no
anxiety ms TO the future prosperity of
the country and of the American people
generally.

This guava forms a low, spreading
evergreen bush, and appears to rarely eX-
coed 4feet in height. The leaves are al
ternatelv opposite, broad and glossy, and
cover tue plant densely. The young
growth has reddish tinge; the flowers
are greenish white, with petals fiatter
than the myrtle; the fruit which succeeds
them is, when ripe, Of light claret color,
small, and when raw, decidedly inferior.
it is, however, somewhat better adapted
to cooking and drying, but it would not
be worth growing were it not harder than
psldium guaVa.
Ii put out in regular beds, feet, per-
maps, would not be excessive, but it is,
perhaps, better suited for sides of paths,
like currant bushes up North. Plant 3
feet from the edge OF the path and 4 feet
from each other. 1t will 40 better if hOed
and raked than if plowed. Any fertilizer
that will do for the orange will suit 1t
perfectly and, like most other things,a few
we'll grown will give better satisfaction
than lot left to rip. 1t is improbable
that 1t will pay to ship North in its fresh
state, except in limited quantities, or for
those people who like to feed on things
that they think their neighbors have not
got, and who would eat carriOn il it was
50 pound, because when the bulk of the
crop comes in many far superior fruits
are in the market. Guava jelly is also
rather uncertain on large scale, for if it
ever became popular limitations could be
caeaply made, However, there is to be
ndency to pass more stringent adul-
teration laws in some States. AS acanned
fruit, do not think the Cattley guava
would compete with the large guava, and
it would not be better dried. 1t might pay
TO grow for chickens.
The Chinese OuaVa piOanIV rpapm bl ga
the Cattley in most respects. 1t perhaps
grows little taller and less compactly,
and perhaps has more overbearing ten
dency. 1t chiefly differs by having yellow
fruit, which Is very agreeable when ripe,
and NOrtherner has not the trouble of
acquiring a taste to appreciate it. The
fruit is also larger and less abundantly
produced. 1t is not considered so good
for Jelly.

From tie London telegram.
In addition to the colossal caulifowers,
admire the immense cabbages, the
splendid carrots, turnips, spinach and
Jerusalem arti-chokes, the abundant
salads of sEgreen meat" and, in particu-
lar, the seemingly inexhaustible wealth
Of rainbOw-hued and deliciously fragrant
flowers.
The whole Of the Australian colonies
are, indeed, flower and fern paradise:
but / am told that il l wish TO see the
floral beauties Of South Australia in their
most enchanting aspect / must come
hither in springtime-that is, in SeDtem-
Der, October and November. This is only
the first week In August, and we are still
in winter.
AS regards fruit, apples, pears, and the
strange looking and more strangely tast-
ing ''passion" fruit are the most promi-
nent Of the gifts Of Pomona that have
noticed in the Adelaide markets.
There are pine-apples, too, but I am
told that they are grown under glass, but
at the proper season should enjoy plums,
cherries, figs, apric0ts, ounces, mulber-
ries, trawberries, currants, raspberries,
walnuts, filberts and chestnuts in perfec-
ton.
The quick, luZuriant growth and early
excessive bearing of the stone fruit pro
ducing trees makes them short lived.
Those that the sun god loves best die
young. The grandest OF the vegetables
are grown in the gulleys Of the hills be-
hind Adelaide. Thence are obtained the
caulilowers the dimensions OF which so
excited my establishment, and which are

The cucumbers, the sweet and water
melons and the pumpkins also grow TO
an extraordinary size.
The South Australian wheat Is, am In

grown in the world, beating even that
renowned cereal, the trigo OF CASTLE, in
Old Spain.
And all this wondrous vegetation
lourishes In most tickle climate, rem
dered most trying by hot wind and
drought. One statement which | have
met with concerning the vegetation OF
South Australia has slightly puzzled me.
II Is 70 the effect that "a very peculiar
phenomenon is that In South Australia
most kinds OF trees and shrubs, when
dying. die from the top downward" But
ia this phenomenon peculiar to South
Australian Surely, there Is on record a

On the other hand, ! scarcely think that

the bottom upward as have seen IN Aus
tralia. That may be 70 a great extent due
to the universally Of the practice OF

Tre of Fertilizers.

J. J. Fl. Gregory, of Marblehead, gave
an address on fertilizers before the Farm
ers' Institute at Bowdoinham, Me. He
Justly remarked that sit we analyze soils
we do not ascertain much; we had better
anayze the plants, and let the plants an
alyze the soil" The operation of the diff
ierent eleme ssS must be tried on each
kind OF land. One may contain nitrogen,
another phOsphoric acid, and the third
potash. The one which gives the best re-
suit is the one for that particular piece Of
4 land. All three together may be best in
some cases. Mr.. Gregory uses 40 or so tons
oiCOmmercial fertilizers in a year. Last
& year he grew 30 tons Of onions entirely by
their use, beside less extensive crops of
& several other vegetables. He recon-
4 mends the use of these fertilizers, which
9 % bis soil are cheaper for what they &C
conplish than barn manure at Eastern
s prices. The degree OF success can be de-
termined only by trial in each locality,
and what succeeds in one place may not
IN another. Seasons do not always pro-
duce like results. One may be warm and
j dry; another cold and wet. The condition
Of the ground may cause failure at one
time and success at another. Hence a
single trial Will not do from which to form
conclusion.
The experiment stations have proved a
great safeguard against fraud on farmers.
ihey have driven out imposters and sus-
AIMED honest manufacturers. In the
south Carolina station 600 specimens
were analysed, and only one found which
was cheat. For a potash fertilizer,
hardwood ashes are worth about Soc. a
Ousnel. But there is great difference in

Plaster.

Clover receives the most benefit from
plaster. Cereals are little affected. Corn
as far as yield of stalk is concerned is in
creased but there is little If any increase
IN grain. Many farmers habitually APP
ply plaster to their corn, thinking they
get a better crop because the leaves are
so much greener and brighter than those
not plastered. The members of farm
ers' club in Van Buren, county, Mich, to
test this, plastered only every other row
OF their corn. and compared the grain pro-
duced on the adjacent rows. They de-
cided that there was no increase of grain
on the plastered rows. This and other ex-
periments seem to indicate that the prac-
tice Of plastering corn is a wastetul one
for, if the fertilizer is not taken up by the
plant, large portion of it is washed
away.

Where the rfanures Goes.

Sir j. b. Laws says some manures,
such as common salt or nitrates, circulate
with the water in the soil, in dry weather
rising to the surface, in wet weather de-
scendIng. Other manures phosphate and
potassa) unite with the soil near the sur
face, and either remain there or at all
events descend with extreme slOwness.
AS an instance Of the extreme slowness OF
the descent of manure Mr.. Laws mentions
the manure applied TO his permanent
wheat crop-l4 tons annually for forty
years. Almost the whole of the accumu-
iations OF fertility are found in the first 8
inches from the surface. On some old gar
den soil on which be has grown red clover
for thirty years without manure, the sub
soil is still very rich. This is explained by
the process employed by gardeners who
open a trench and bury the manure. Under
ordinary agricultural processes, 1t may
be said that manure only enriches thesur-
face soil.

plenty of room by thinning for use as the
plants grow. The beds being narrow the
thinning is easily done. l never try to
have the distance between the plants eX-
actly equal. but simply keep them from
crOwding. In this way / have grown very
large heads without hoeIng, and, as the
plants keep the ground shaded, no weed
ing is required. Heads can be kept from
going to seed for quite while by cutting
about half way through the stem at it's
base, leaving the plant just enough
nOurlshment from the roots to keep it
from willing. When the heat Of summer
arrives, lettuce must have cool, partly
shaded situation, and an abundance Of
water. This is the secret of raising fine
heads of lettuce in hot weather. Try the
north side of building or tight fence, or
a frame artifcially shaded, and you will
be surprised at what can be done at rals-
ing lettuce, even in midsummer.
