The Cow BIZ.

A great many people are enqulrlDg
as to what is the nature Of the "coW
bill" which is before the state law
makers, and perhaps a few words Of
explanation and comment would be
of interest just now.
The COW bin is III no wise akin to
Buffalo Bill, is not much longer than
an ordinary wash bill, and viii prob

more favor by those TO whom it is
presented than an average taiIor's
bill.
Its pedigree is good. Itwas sired
by AssembIymau Legler, a brilliant
young newspaper man. Just why
newspaper man should be interested
in dairy legislation is a question,
but Mr.. Legler comes from the
Cream City, and may be laboring
under the deluslon that the origin Of
city cream is to be traced back to
the COW. lie was probably indulg-
ing in some such flight Of fancy
when he conceived this bill.
II provides, by the way, that who
soeyer shall have the keeping of a
mich COW and shall fail to milk her
at least twice a day, shall be hung
or imprisoned or fined or something,
we don't just remember what.

milkman to milk his cows as often
as be does his pump but would be

What Keeps the Price Up

The exports Of wheat from British
India were 3l,36o,0 900 bushels dur
ing the year I8ss; the exports from
the United States were q, BAL, ADJ;
the increase Of exports from British
India was 100000 bushels over
those of 1887. Twenty years ago
there seemed to be no possibility
that India should become the chief
granary Of England; almost any
fiuancier would have predicted that
England would continue, for a cen
tury a least, 70 buy most Of its
wheat from America The ryot-
grown wheat has, however, come
into competition with American
produce and is supplauting it in the
markets Of Europe. And yet the
price Of wheat is not falling in
American markets, although TWO
great causes seem to be at work
toward its depression: the increased
product Of America, and the de
creased demand of Europe
The farmer can see what protec-
ton does for him when he looks
upon that increa sed home market
for grain which manufactures have
created, and considers that but for
this creation he would have to force
his eyer-increasiug surplus upon an
English market into which the
cheapy produced wheat of India
pours with a yearly enlarged volume.
Ii is the home market that is keep
ing the price Of wheat up; and the
home market is the result of a long
continued policy of protection

PENSIONS.

Rulings and bee!.ous ny the Assistant Secretary Of
the Interior aud the tom sssioner Of Pensions.
Assistant Secretary Bussey has rendered a
decision on the invalid pension claim Of Ber-
nard Bruner, OF Co. h. l23d Ohio. The attend
ing Surgeon ut the time of the soldiers dis
charge certified that the soldier was incapable
Of performing the duties OF soldier because Of
mental imbeciliIy, with symptoms Of insanity.
This disability the Surgeon says existed prior
to enlistment. and upon this ground the claim
was originally rejected.
The Assistant Secretary reviews the evidence
submitted aud finds that Bruner at no time
prior 10 his army service exhibited more mark
cd indications Of mental alienation than reti-
cent manner. fondness for solitude, and the
like lie says:
admitting that there was a prcdisposition
TO insanity. aud that the eause, or causes, which
suiiieed 10 destroy his mind would not have af-
fected stronger intellect. that fact cannot be
pleaded as Justification for denying him a
pension. II is a well-seitled article OF practice
in the adjudication of pension claims that an
unusual susceptibility TO some form OF disease
existing before enlistment is no bar 10 pension
if the disease did not develop until after the
claimants admission TO the service. The rule
is essentially just. The Government took this
man apparently sound, returned him TO civil
life manifestly unsound. 1t took him when lac
was capable OF supporting himself. and returned
him incapable to be burden upon others.

There are a great many things TO con
slider in orange culture. | think the most
important are these: first what to do;
second when to do and third how to do
it. Now, as the tree grows into the soil
and lives therefrOm, let us not fertilize the
tree, but enrich the land, then if the tree
won't grow, pull it up and go. You may
plant tree in a barrel offertilizer and see
how long it will grow; then think that
you will at once see that they grow in the
land. You can't raise fat children in
fine house without the proper food; nor
can you raise a paying grove on clean
cultured land. 1t may bear afew oranges,
but will not hold out long. Now, says
another, there are several reasons for it;
we have long and warm summer and
plenty of ocean breezes, heat and wind
will dry out the soil, making it as barren
as desert; driving the flow of moisture
from the roots, stopping the sap out;
then what is left for the tree to feed on?
Florida soil, as a generality, is rather
tries, and like a sieve, every time it rains
the fertilizers are sifted to China, espec-
tally if it is a fine nature. WE'LL says one,
"What are we to do? You have condemn
ed our clean culture and our fertilizers" |
will give my experience. First go to
work and improve your land, as the tree
depends upon it for sustenance. Plough
as early in january as possible and as
deep as you can without disturbing the
long roots; this prepares the land for the
sap to rise early, in order to give the tree
long summer growth; harrow to level;
then hoe very deep; plant COW peas, as
early as they will grow, between the trees,
leaving a space on each side of the trees;
when | work the peas | work the grove;
the peas will bunch the first OF June; then
plough under and harrow; then let the
the grass grow; take Planet Jr. cultiva-
the tree, in rotation, as far as tht
branches reach and hoe each time, let
ting the grass grow between the trees,
this grass shades the ground, acting
as a mulch, retains moisture and keeps
the hot sun off; sap is kept in action
and does the tree no harm. In the fall,
when it is cool, plough it under and har-
row it. The grass is made into fertilizer
Now, if you choose to use commercial fer
tilizers, put it on your rcOwpeas and grass,
and what they fail to use goes to the tree,
and also the peas and grass go to the
tree through the land. Thus you see you
cultivate your grove and improve your
help and much cheaper. You also pro-
tect your soil from the long warm sum-
mer days. This vegetable matter rots
gradually and feeds the trees at all times,
does not attract the roots all in one
place; it collects moisture and does not
stimulate all at once and then fall back
for another time OF fertilizing. Vegetable
matter is the natural food; possessinga all
the natural properties that are good for
the tree. 1t gives good, solid growth and
plenty of foliage. Always plough shall
low after the first ploughing and hoe the
same; not drawing away the soil, expos
ing the roots. In low land make water
burrows in the center of the rows; level
culture is best for uplands, because it
does not dry out and the water sinks
