FARM AND STOCK NOTES.

There is not one acre in thousand that
receives enough manure. The farmer
who spreads thirty or forty loads of stable
manure upon an acre thinks that he is do
ing pretty Well by his land. This amount
spread on his land every year might be
enough to produce the most astonishing
results, but he does not get around TO that
piece Of land often enough, having so
many other fields that need fertilizing full
ly as much.
Every farmer should have some means
OF Fastening forward few early Vegeta-
bles for spring and early summer use. 1t
will generally be found an Investment
that will pay better interest in cash saved
and in comfort to the family than can he
obtained in almost any other way. A hot
bed started at this time may be made to
produce early lettuce and radishes in
about six or eight weeks, cabbage and let
tuce plants that may be planted in the
field by middle of April, and peas, beans
and beets in 8 to 10weeks.
The manufactures Of manure upon the
farm is now here near up to the, marx.
MANURE is too often handled as though it
were nuisance. which must be disposed
OF with the least possible labor. 1t is
pitched out into open yards under the
caves, anywhere to get it out of the way.
The farmer might double the value of his
manure product by the use Of sheds, alb
sOrbents and compost heaps. By gather
ing together muck and all refuse stuff
about the farm, and composing with the
stable manures, the manure supply might
In almost every case be doubled.
The trees upon which nutmegs grow
look like small pear trees, and are gener-
ally not over 20 feet high. The flowers are
very much like the lily of the valley.
They are pale and very fragrant. The
nutmeg is the seed of the fruit, and mace
Is the thin covering over the seed. The
fruit is about the size Of peach. When
ripe 1t breaks open. and shows little nut
inside. The trees grow on the islands of
Asia and tropical America. They bear
fruit 20 or 80 years, and have ripe fruit
upon them all the season. A tree in ia

Exneriments by Farmers.

A few years ago, says the Rural Home,
there was little or no experimenting done
by farmers; this was left for the expert
ment station, but we predict that there
will be much more experimental work
done by the farmer in the next decade or
80 than ever before. He is waking up to
the fact that it is economy to know what
to buy before he buys it, to know what to
SOW before be sows it and what his soil
needs before he feeds it. A small portion
Of the field or garden should be set apart
to experimental work in testing different
varieties of grain or fruit, the effects of
different fertilizers on his soil, etc. Thus
theories may be brought to a personal,
practical test, and he will gain an expert
ence which will enable him to act wisely
and judiciously on larger scale. One
thing, however, is to be avoided, viz, pro-
nouncing too quickly on the results, or
generalizing from a single trial. For in
stance, under certain conditions, concen-
trated fertilizers will do more harm than
good. The time and quantity, the method
ofapplication must be varied. What will
produce good results on one piece of soil
would not on another; and some peculiar
ity or climate might make a vast differ
ence in the success with which even the
best of fertilizers could be applied. SO in
the trial of new fruits, new implements,
new methods Of any kind, do not be in
taste to pronounce against them; give
item a fair trial first.

Capillary Attraction.

Says Mr., John N. Sabel: You know
what capillary attraction Is? 1t draws
the oil up through the wick of the lamp or
the moisture up through the towel, one
end of which reaches INTO a basin of
water. 1t is the power that porous bodies
have of not only absorbing but Of drawing
up liquids. This power is exactly in proper
ton TO the fneness of the pores. OF
course porous soil possesses this power
OF capillary attraction; and the more
thoroughly a soil is pulverlzed the more
pores there will be and the finer they will
be, hence it's power OF attraction will be
greater. A field of large clods will have
so few openings to the substratum below
and these openings will be so large that
its power of capillary attraction will be
very small. On the contrary a field of
pulverized soil will have great capillary
attraction

While young trees may be kept in Wig

light dressings of manure, providing the
land is kept we'll cultivated, old trees, or
trees that bear large qualities of fruit.
must be kept we'll supplied with plant
food of some description or the trees fail
to grow well, or TO produce good fruit. 1t
is a mistake to permit grass to grow in an
orchard and cut it every year, ana apply
but a slight dressing Of manure once in a
half dozen years. Wien a crop of grass
is taken from from an orchard that is pro
ducing fruit in considerable quantities, it
should receive a good dressing of man
ure every year; this will not only secure a
good crop of grass, but it will very much
Increase the size AID improve the variety
Of the fruit. When an orchard is to be
dressed with stable manure 1t should al
ways be applied in the autumn, but if
quick-aoting commercial fertilizers be
applied, the spring is the best time to ap-
ply 1t.

II need not be stated that most farmers,

producing this affection, yet l agree with
the following extract in relation to the

The Railway Strike.

Fort WORTH, March 3.--An Express
special says: The situation in railroad
circles is certainly nearing a crisis.
There 10 no change in the situation here
except for the worse. The Fort Worth
and Denver sent no freight trains out
to-day, because they could get no freight
from the Texas and Pacific and Missouri
Pacific for shipment on their road. The
express companies are unable to begin
to move the freight given to them, and
this afternoon refused freight unless
consignors agreed to any necessary de-
lay. Six through freights were permit
ed to move east and west to-day, three
each way, but that does not in any way
help the situation here. Two trains of
silk and one Of oranges went east. The
west bound trains were loaded with
merchandise for California.
Two south bound Missouri Pacific
freight trains were to-day stopped at
Denton and sent back to DenisOn,
this owing, no doubt, to the trouble
at Alvarado, 26 miles below
here, where the railroad men
have struck in Obedience to an or
der issued from Galveston by the execu-
tive committee of District rs. Yard
Master Callaghan tried to get out a
train, when the Knights promptly
seized, killed and returned the locomo-
tive to the round house. No freights
are coming or going from Alvarado.
At 2:30 this afternoon at the whistle
toot at Longview, 100 men stopped work
and the many trains loaded with lum-
Der coming in over the Gulf, Sabine and
st. Louis are side-tracked, and will soon
block the yards. The strikers are
handling the engines for passenger
trains, and voluntarily guarding the
company's property.
A committee left to-day for Galveston
to lay before the Gulf, Colorado and
Santa Fe officials grievances, which
they say must be righted at once or the
Knights will strike. Ii is understood
this trouble grows out Of the Mallory
boycott.
Governor Brown, of the Texas and
Pacific, and General Egebert and Colonel
Noble, OF the same road, will be here in
the morning to view the situation.

Views tor the NAVY.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The House
Committee on Naval Affairs has COM
pleted consideration of the bill to in
crease the naval establishment, and will
report the measure to the House at the
earliest opportunity. A few changes in
the original bill were made to-day in
the line suggested by the Secretary of
the Navy. The first section is so
amended as to provide for two sea-going
double bOttOm vessels of about 600 tons
displacement for a speed (instead of sea
speed) of at least l6 knots. etc. A pro-
vision was added TO the 9TH section en-
pOwering the Secretary to contract with
domestic manufacturers for the con-
structiOn OF such portion of the heavy
guns provided for as the Government
may not be able to manufacture. The
bill, as completed, contemplates a total
expenditure for new vessels, tOrpedOes,
and navy yard plant of Sl4 ,G75, 900, and
apprOpriates for next year the sum Of
So, 425 600. The Committee was practi-
Cally unanimous in directing favorable
report of the bill to the House.
