On Tuesday next, Senator Morrill,
will be elected to succeed himself for
another term in the senate. 1t is un-

sent no candidate, and the venerable
senator will have the compliment of
a unanimous vote.

last Friday Mr.. Merrill of Enosburgh

the appointment of a committee to re-

publican brethren the democrats on
re-assembling, Monday, through Mr..
Marshall of Brattleboro rushed in n
lengthy bill providing the same.

Rutland, providing for the weekly
payment of employees by corporations.
The enactment of such a statue will
give death blow to the purse-cut-

How to Root Cuttings.

This is good season OF the year to
propagate cuttings, and the American
Garden has the following to say on that
subject
Many plants may be propagated with
ease from cuttings, provided one knows
just how to proceed. The pots and soil,
or cutting bed, should be made ready be-
forehand, so that slips may be promptly
cutting is a shoot of new growth, just be-
fore it grows woody at all or fibrous, but
will snap off clean without strings. This
should have three buds. if possible, though
one leaf and leaf bud will start in good
care. Roots start from the buO at the
base of the leaf sooner than from any
other part Take off all leaves for an inch
Or two, and stick the cutting in sand to
the lowest bud. The essential thing is to
keep cuttings entirely fresh till planted by
setting in water, or, what is better, wrap
ping them lightly in a moist cloth. The
loss of their sap by evaporation before or
after setting is their death. Boxes three
inches deep, half filed with sand and a
light mixture OF fibrous soil or leaf mold,
faced off with an inch of pure sand, make
good cutting beds when a number are to
be struck, as with coleus, alternantheras,
and bedding plants generally, when one
wants plenty to use and some to give
away.
For few cuttings the best thing is a
six-inch flower pot, the draid hole plugged
with cork, two inches of broken bits of
crock laid in, and porous pot, half the
size or less, set within the larger one and
kept full of water Between the rims of
the two pots, which should be on level,
the space is filled with sand, in which the
cuttings are set against the outer rim
and well wet. The draining from the in
side pot of water keeps the cuttings moist
always and they hasten toroot. Sand is
best, being easy for the tender root
threads to enter and free from decaying
particles, which in soil cause cuttings to
rot at once. But when the first roots are
made known by the freshening of the ter
minal bud or shoot of the cutting, imme-
diately pot or remove to richer soil
that has food for the plant, Or it will
loose strength. Prompt planting must
be given.
Shade all cuttings for the first day or
two, until the first shock of the change is
over. When danger Of tagging is past
give cuttings the stimulus Of light shad-
ing from the hot sun and wind. Seeds
and cuttings never start more delight
fully than under shades of oiled paper
tied over the pot or tackled on the box.
For open ground, frames with oiled cot
ton covers should be used to protect the
tender cuttings from changes of temper
allure.

contained in pea vines and stable ma
.nure. This is supplied by the addition of
superphosphate in the compost at the
time of putting up. The pea vines may
be MANFRED with superphosphates, and
thus at the same time supply this essent-
ial element of fertility to the soil, and in
crease the growth of vines to be returned
to the soil.
A comparison of the analyses of the
Southern field pea with that of clover,
which has been used as soilimprover so

either their feeding or manurial value is
concerned. 1t isnOt necessary ospeak of

For The FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Mr.. Bigelow on Pruning.

Mr.. Bigelow, in AGRICULTURIsT of July
I'd, gives us an article on pruning, in
which he says he decided to try heroic
pruning on "a Seeding = really sick
| ly from scale or other causes which [
knew nothing about" He "thinned it
out thoroughly" "opened it up" "let in
the sunlight just as [ had been accus-
toned to do with my apple trees" 'My
wife said there were more limbs on the
ground than OH the tree" The result was
II was not surprised when I found it
loaded with fine fruit and apparently the
healthiest and most vigorous tree in q
grove of some 500 trees. | have watched
it since, and in all these (nearly Sky years
it has been fruitful, thrifty and shapely"
Then Mr.. B. says: "Still do not advo-
cate excessive pruning"
This leaves me in the dark. If pruning
has such beneficial effects why does he
not advocate and practice it? Did the
experiment he tried prove that pruning
was beneficial? If it did, why not profit
by the knowledge gained? If it proved
nothing, why take up your space in tell
ing it? He does notadvocate ''excessive''
pruning and thinks Every great harm is
done by too much pruning" Are we to
understand by this that it is not "exces-
sive'' and not 'too much" when there are
''more limbs on the ground than on the
tree'? II that is not ''too much" some
of us who do not know how to prune
properly would like to know how much
over half of an orange trees top can be
butchered before the pruning becomes
Excessive" Mr.. B. has proved that he
can cut off over half of the top and that
it is beneficial. He says too much prun-
ing does Every great That proves
by actual experiment that cutting off
over One-half the top is not too much

Economy in Fertilization.

Economy in Fertilization.
Ever since the Department of Agricult-
ure OF Georgia was organized, an effort
has been made, through it's published re-
ports to impress upon the farmers of the
State the Importance OF adopting some
cheap means of increasing the yield of
their crops and at the same time increase
the fertility of the soil. The value OF pea
vines as an improver of the soil has been
repeatedly urged upon the attention OF
the farmers, while the superiority Of COM
post over high priced commercial manure
has been shown by repeated experiments
conducted under the auspices of the De-
partment during the last seven years.
Formula and directions for composing
home manure with superphOsphate and
kainit have been published in the re-
ports of the Department from time to
time, and results of experiments with the
compost made according to these for
mul@ published annually since 1875.
These results show very cOnclusively the
economy in the use of the compost, since
at one half cost per acre of the CONNER
cial fertilizers, as good yields have been
uniformly obtained.
Ithas generallybeen admitted that when
an experiment has been conducted for five
years with uniformly the same results,
the question so determined may be re-
garded as settled.
Experiments have ben conducted under
the auspices of this Department in every
part of the state, under various cOndi-
tons for six years. In the experiments
the compost OF superphOsphate and kali
nit with cotton seed and stable manure
has ben compared every year with the
best grades ofcommercial fer tilizers, with
results most favorable to the compost.
While pea vines and lime furnish the
cheapest and most effective means of re-
storing fertility to worn soils, and OF
maintaining itin those not yet exhausted,
the compost of superphosphate and kali
nit with stable manure and cotton seed
furnishes, beyond question, the most eco
nomical manure the Southern farmer or
planter can apply to his crop from year
to year.
Besides supplying plantfood in the best
and most available forms, the compost
exerts a mechanical influence upon the
soil not produced by plain commercial
fertilizers. Either the composts or the
pea vines will supply all the ammonia
needed in our soils; the compost for spec
ial manuring of the crops, while the pea
vines will furnish ammonia and humus to
the soil. 1t must not, however, be under
stood that ammonia is the only import
ant element Of plant food supplied by
these cheap sources OF fertility. On the
contrary, they supply all the elements of
plant food. Some of these, however,
exist in such small percentage that very
large quantities OF the substances must
be applied to supply the elements in sui
ficient quantities for the production of
maximum crops. The principal deficien-
cy is lin the percentage of phosphoric acid
