Another New Vegetable.

Another new vegetable has been intro
duced into France by NJ. Pallieux, the in
defatgable collector of new alimentary
plants. The plant has been received
through the aid of NJ. Bouley, head gar
dener to the Maharajah of Cashmere. 1t
is called the congalou. This vegetable is
sort of turnp with the form of radish,
and the skin of an attractive bright red
color. The flavor is nearly that of the
ordinary turnip, but very much stronger;
the consistency of the root is such that it
does not soften in cooking. 1t appears
that in the Himalayan regions the conga-
lou is eaten as salad, sliced in very thin
rounds and highly seasoned. -Vick's Maya

There is no part of the world where so
many horticultural experiments are being
tried as here on this coast, says the San
Francisco Examiner. Every new plant
and fruit that cultivators can hear of is in
troduced and tested. Among the valua-
BILE and rare fruits, new as yet to America,
is that of an Australian plant, the kunzea.
The Gardeners Chronicle of London lately
had an illustration and article, the latter
from the pen of Baron Won Muller of the
Melbourne Botanic gardens. He says
"This little shrub is one of the few really
valuable fruit plants indigenous at the
south coast OF Australia. Indeed, the
plant would be worthy of being naturalized
in mild coast regions. 1t prefers sandy,
calcareous soil. The fruits are of pecu-

you make more money by spreading that

sAYA.
millions of trees are growing in India and
Java, from which parts the supply of the
world is obtained. There are no less than
thrty-six species of the cinchona now
known and named, but the kinds found to
yield quinine in its various forms in paying
quantities are crown-bark, C. offcinals,
red bark, C. succirubra, yellow bark, C.
calisaya, gray bark, C. nitida, and micran-
tina.
We got our word quinine from quina, the
native name of the bark, and for many
years in its early history it was known to
druggists as Countess bark and Jesuits'
bark, from the early connection of these
with its introduction. The tree itself is
beautiful object.
The illustrations of C. quinquina calisaya
will give good idea of its appearance. 1t
has delicate, small flowers, in close clus-
tiers, and at certain seasons it's fragrance
fills the air for considerable distance.
The kinds most valuable for the bark are
fortunately readily raised from cuttings.
In the original forests very destructive
methods were used in obtaining the bark,
out in the cultivated forests of Java and
india, the trees are specially prepared by
removing the stems, and only parts of the
bark stripped at time, so that after a GER
tain length of time the process can be re-
peated The aromatic bark of Rhus CO.
sinus or sumach has been used as a sub
stitute for Peruvian bark.

Good Farming.

The Farmer says that good farming is
not merely doing one thing well, but so far
as possible adopting all improved methods
of increasing the productveness of the
land, and the farmer that inteligently
studies the soil he cultivates and acquires
a knowledge of the fertilizer it needs to
bring out its great productiveness is the
successful farmer of the future. While
on the other hand, the farmer who follows
the old style of cultivation always taking
from the soil and returning little or moth
ing-will find his profits decreasing year
by year, until finally nothing will remain
but barren fields and a big mortgage on
the land. Take agricultural papers and
read them; study your soil, and if you find
1t lacking in any of the qualities necessary
for good crops supply them at once Don't
try to cultivate more land than you can
attend, and what you do cultivate do it in
an intelligent manner.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


The Products Retained on the Farm.
The value of crop does not depend
entirely on the market price, but
partly upon the uses to which the crop
is applied. A corn crop, il sent TO mar
ket, may bring but little more than the
cost of its production; but it is equiva-
lent to a certain amount OF raw mater
ial, which can be converted into some
other product more in demand, such as
beef, mutton, milk, pork or poultry.
Nor can the real value of the crop be
estimated by the amount received for
the meats sold, as large portion is
left over in the shape of manure.
Careful experiments have been made
IN order to determine the amount of
potash, nitrogen and phosphoric acid
left in the manure after the food as
passed through the bodies of animals,
but no certain results can be obtained
owing TO the differences in the diges-
tive capacity of animals, though in
trials of two weeks duration, where
both green fodder and grain have been
fed, it was found that 81 per cent. of
all the nitrogen, 80 per cent. OF all the
phosphoric acid and So per cent of all
the potash remained in the manure.
This shows that the food is only par
TALLY digested and assimilated and
that the value of the crop must be con-
sidered not only in regard to its mar
ket price and its product but also to
Its future use in providing a second
crop. Where concentrated foods, such
as linseed and cottonseed meals, are
used the value of the manure is still
greater, and if the prices obtained for
meat and milk be no greater than the
cost of food and labor the manure
alone will give a large profit, as from
20 to 40 per cent. of the food used is
retained on the farm in the. manure,
and the larger the proportion of nitro
gen in the food Gas with linseed meaD
the greater the value of the manure
in proportion to its weight. If the
total value of a ton of linseed meal be
estimated at $50, the feeding value
may be stated at $32. and the manu-
rial value S2S, but coru-meal gives a
feeding value of S23 out of a total of
$50, leaving 81 to be returned in the
manure. If the manure be not re-
tanned on the farm, but sold at its real
value, it would, therefore, be as much
"a product of food as meat or milk, but
1t is more economical to retain it, for
the reason that its removal adds to its
cost. Many cattle foods are really
cheaper than their manurial value,
and may be applied directly to the
land, but this depends upon the quail
ity of the soil and its deficiency in any
particular element The value of the
manure to the land depends upon its
preponderance of some special ele-
mcnt. Potash manures are valuable
on heterogeneous soils. but possess little
value on soils Astounding in potash,
and all these matters are to be consid-
cred in the final estimates.
