S1DoN.-Goat manure applied in liquid

scrapings and sesamum are also used.
The manure is placed at the foot Of the
tree in November; 100 kilos of dung,
thirty kilos of rags and fifteen kilos OF
horn scrapings.
ITALY.-The trees are manured once a
year, generally in the winter. The ma
nures generally used are stable manures
in the spring they also enrich with liquid
sewerage.
MEssINA.-Groves are badly fertilized,
as no good fertilizers are obtainable, and
stable manure is SO mismanaged that it
furnishes but littleplant food. Fifty-fve
pounds of stable manure are applied an
nually to each tree. The growers are
now finding out that this amount is too
great, although the manure is of an in
ferior quality. Some growers put the
manure in the irrigating trench and allow
the water to spread it around the trees;
others scatter the manure around the
trees, turn it under and then irrigate.
Experiments are being made with sui
phate of ammonia. The best time to fer
tilize is from April to May To obtain
bastard fruit the trees are fortified in
October.
PALERMO. - Alkaline substances are
better adopted than any other materials
for fertilizing. Growers formerly used
sea weed, mixed with the excrements of
horses, COWS or stable accumulations.
Fragments of dressed leather, wooden
rags. scrapings from horns, and certain
other remains of old or cast off manu-
features, as we'll as decayed fruits, are
regarded as the best admixtures of fer
tilizers for oranges and lemons. The
materials or substances in question are
stratifed in proper places with a view to
their fermentation before being used.
The AzoREs.-About February lupin is
sown broad cast, and when about two
feet high is dug into the ground. Some
people (but very few sometimes use
bone yard manure, and guano has some
times been applied.
SPA1N.-The employment of manures is
indispensable for activating the develop
ment of the orange tree and maintaining
it's fertility Without them it's growth
would be slow, and it would soon be
loaded with fruit Of small size, which
would exhaust the tree by reason Of it's
abundance, and cause it to succumb long
before giving it's maximum produce.
The orange tree requires to be manured
at two periods OF it's existence. During
it's first development it should receive it
in abundance, so as to activate as much
as possible the formation Of it's branches
and at the same time obtain it's maxi
mum production. Afterwards, during
the remainder of it's existence, only the
necessary quantity for it's proper preser-
walton and nourishment should be given
it, it's state OF vegetation indicating the
frequency with which it should be ma
nured and the quantity to be given it.
In the first period ofvegetation of the or
ange trees manures Of rapid decomposi-
ton should be employed, so that they
may Immediately proportion to the
roots, and in abundance, the nutritive
elements required by them. Such ma
nures are the following, viz: we'll prepared
dungs, pigeon manure, the skins and re-
fuse of oily seeds, guanO, desiccated

In paper mills using rags has been success
fully put into operation. The question was
discussed as to the expediency of printing
pacards or encouraging local boards of
health TO piacard houses where there are
cases, OF typhoid fever. Hitherto local
boards OF health have been instructed that
the placarding of typhoid fever cases is un-
necessary and unexpedient and the same
opinion was reaffirmed. During the discus
sion the opinion was expressed that in con-
necti0n with local outbreaks of typhoid few
er it would sometimes be useful to placard
the pump or other local water supply, an
nouncing the fact that the water is polluted
or probly infectious.
The secretary was instructed to correspond
with the chief of the signal service in regard
to what arrangements can be made for the
establishment of local meteorological stations
In different parts of the state, especially in
the northern part and in the interior.

ENERcETIc JAPS
Studying American Railroads and
Preparing to Mine Coal.

CHICAGO, March 3l.-N. Tomonari, civil
engineer OF the local government Of Hokkai-
do, Japan. arrived at the Grand Pacific last
night. He is here for the purpose Of study
ing American railroad construction. A Jap
anese syndicate, in which the government Is
interested. with capital of over S7,O00,0 900,
has been formed for the purpose Of develop
ing the coal mines of Northern Japan. The
project included the construction of rail
way system. and this work Mr.. TomonarI
has In charge.
"Tnis company" said Mr.. Tomonari, last
evening, In an interview, twill develop the
Sorachi and Yarbari mines to such an extent
that Japan will export coal to China and
America In vast quantities. From scientific
investigations, we are sure the mines are
good for 1.000, 900 tons year. Success Is as
sured, for 1t Is no experiment. We have
been mining coal for IS years, though on o
small scale. We have shipped some to San
Francisco. 1t Is better than any received on
the Pacific coast, but we cannot now meet
the prices there. We are about 81 a ton too
high; but as soon as our new plants are
ready we can sell all the coal we can get TO
San Francisco"
