FARM NOTES.

FRRTILIzNa FOR FRUIrs. The chem
ical composition of fruits can be chang
ed by the fertilizers applied to the trees
and vines producidg them. II has been
found that the quality of fruits can be
greatly improved by the judicious ap-
pIication of fertilizers, and that the per
cent. of sugar contained In them can be
largely increased. The increase OBJ
tanned is most marked in the case of the
wild fruits. Professor Goessmann per-
formed some very interesting expert
ments in this direction. Several Con-
cord grape vines and several wild puI-
leg drape vines were set in pots, and
fertilized at the rate per acre Of 450
pounds of dissolved bone black, con-
tanning twelve per cent. of soluble
phosphoric acid, and 1SO pounds of nj
trate of potash, containing forty-tive
per cent. of potassium oxide and thir-
teen per cent. of nitrogen, or fifty-two
pounds of soluble phosphoric oxide, and
twenty-five pounds of nitrogen. One
half Of the fertilizers were applied in
the fall and the other half in the spring.
Three years after the application of the
fertilizer an examination OF the fruit
was made, and compared with that Of
fruits from the same kind of vines on
land which had not been fertllized. 1t
was found that the sugar In Concord
grapes from vines unfertilIzed was l3. 50
per cent. while that IN grapes from fer
iilized vines of the same kind was is. 81
per cenL-a very remarkable increase.
The most notable changes of the min
eral element noticed IN the grapes was
an increase of potassium Oxid and q
decrease IN the calcium oxid, These
experiments indicate that there is a
vide field for experimentation for the
Improvement of the quality of fruits by
the skilrul application of fertilizers.
The quality of apples that are well fed
with all the fertlnllzing elements need
ed is decidedly superior to that of ap-
pies raised upon trees which have not
been fert1lized.

A Bird OF Many Names.

1t is curious how the rice bird
changes its name with its habitat. On
the Pennsylvania coast it is the reed
bird; in the Maryland or Virginia
swamps it Is the rail or sora; In the
Georgia and Carolina rice fields it is the
rice bird, and in Jamaica, where they
close the season on guina grass, it is the
butter bird. In the far north it is the
bobollnk, with gayer plumage than it
wears on the coast, and Q song that
rivals that Of the English skylark. As il
passes back through Georgia from
1smaica northward it is known - Q
Nay bird.

NEARLY all farmers know that grain
as usually secured will sweat more or
less in the NOW. This is not usually
considered injurious, and except with
barley does not usually prove so. We
have known bright barley, got in with
out rain. SO badly injured by sweating
in the NOV that the grain was musty
and unfit for any use. Barley heats
and sprouts more readily than any
other grain, and therefore greater care
must be observed in getting It into the
