81 per AnnuIn, in advance.

The fowls will not only furnish fertilizer
but will hoe and keep your grove clean
cheaper than you can do it in any other
way.
II, as we stated at the beginning, you
confine four fowls to tree, if the trees
are planted thirty feet each way, your
yard would be 6Ox60 feet-large enough
for run for sixteen hens. Now the ques-
tion is, how much manure will they leave
on the ground each year in the day time
only? In an article published on the val
ue of poultry manure ayear or more ago
we gave figures from test we made by
saving the droppings from eight Wyan-
dottes confined at night only, and they
averaged one and half pounds to each
fowl per week. II we allow a pound q
week, or fifty-two pounds year, for six
teen fowls, we will have S32 pounds for
these four trees. Four hundred pounds of
hen manure is equal to one ton of barn
yard manure. Thus we have the value of
two tons of barn yard manure on the
small space of 6Ox6O feet. A ton of hen
manure contains 67'pounds of nitrogen,
II pounds of potash and 48.6Opounds of
phosphoric acid. In S32 pounds we have
nitrogen, 20 pounds; potash, 20; phos-
phoric acid, IL leaving off fractions. If
my estimate of the number of pounds of
droppings are correct you can readily see

tages and disadvantages.

Going Back on the Navel.
Ormond, Volusia County, Fla.

From the following item, which ap-
peared in the Pomona (Cal) Progress, it
would seem as if our California co-abor-
ers are giving the cold shoulder to their
'far famed" and much talked of navels.
The Progress says:
''There are many of the older and more
experienced orange growers in California
who are turning their attention to the
profit in oranges that come into the mar
ket late in the season. After four years
of almost exclusive planting of Navel or
anges we find the sentiment growing that
the Mediterranean Sweet or Valencia arc
really the best oranges for profit to be
planted. The great demand there is al
ways for oranges in the months OF April,
and especially May, hascaused the change
in opinion concerning the Navel orange.
j. DeBarth ShOrb, of San Gabriel, advised
Pomona fruit grower the other day to
plant Mediterranean Sweets. He argued
that this variety of oranges kept better,
hung on the trees weeks longer than the
Naveis, were always popular and very
abundant bearers He said he sold two
weeks ago Mediterranean Sweets from
five acres for $2.55 u box, and the net
profit was nearly one third greater than
for Navels at $3 50 box. Mr.. ShOrb be-
lieves that the Mediterranean Sweet will
always be the best selling orange there is
and he quotes the fact that it has sold in
Chicago and ST. Louis for weeks at bet
ter price than the far-famed Navel"

In conclusion, [ will show where the shoe actu-
ally pinches the farmer Interest has eat him up,
as is evidenced by the mortgages on the farms of
these United States, aggregating more than
twenty-six thousand four hundred millions OF
dollars Figures astounding that it fairly
makes my head swim to write them, nor would [
do SO if l could not prove that they are far within
the truth Just figure the interest of this sum at
10 per cent, the average usance? Besides, as O.
matter of fact the farmer pays fully 60 per cent.
of all the taxes of the country indirectly it is true,
but he pays them all the same. For the usurer
stands between him and the market and in vari-
GUS interests appropriates fully 80 per cent of his
products and again appropriates by the same
means 80 per cent. on all the farmer buys. This
can demonstrate and make clear to any one who
doubts the fact, for fact it is. AS TO free trade
and foreign markets. it is all moonshne. Free
trade would destroy utterly his only-(WHAT?)
the home market. Improved methods and newly
developed sources of suppy by cheap labor have
closed him out of European markets, SO as also
our manufacturers. All civilized nations to-day
produce, not more than their people need, but
more than they can buy and to sell this so-called
find a market. At this very moment they are
chasing the poor naked negro in equatorial Afri-
ca to sell him WOolen OvercOats and warming
pans, and trying to induce him coercively to give
a mortgage on his banana patch and bond his
underlined territory to build court houses and
county iails and insane asylums.

Chickens in the Orange Grove.

care chickens in the grove iniurious?"
asks a subscriber in the AGRICULTURIsT
of July 9th.
Having had several years experience
with fowls in large numbers, would say
that depends entirely upon the number
you keep upon a given space The drop
pings of fowls are highly heterogeneous,
and as applied sfreshg when fowls are al
lowed to run in agrove are a very power
full stimulent, and if too many fowls are
kept in a small enclOsurefOr more than
year the trees will have the die-b from
being over-stimulated. AS the die-back
weakens the tree, and as the scale is ever
ready to attack a tree out of it's normal
condition, it will produce scale.
Again, if fowls aref fed under and around
the trees they will always be scratching
for remnants of food and throw dirt pro-
miscuOusly When the tree is wet, from
dew or rain, the dirt adheres to the bark
and this will produce scale and cause the
tree to be puny There is q remedy for
this, and when adhered to strictly there
is nothing that will keep a grove growing
better and looking thriftier than fowls.
1t is as follows:
LIST. Keep but four fowls to tree, and
it is better to have your fowl house and
feeding place Just outside the grove and
you will avoid the first named difficulty.
I'd. Occasionally wash your trees, or
whenever the bark is not clean, and you
overcome the other.

Montgomery County sentinel., 1890-09-19
A Lucid Explanation.

AT dinner party given recently in WASH
ngton by Representative Robert Hit, of
Illinois, Mr.. Langley, the solicitor general
of Nova Scotia, inquired of Congressman
Roswell p Flower, of New York, in what
way the Republicans in Congress had re-
vsed the existing tariff duties. The other
guests present, among whom was Speaker
Reed, ceased their conversation and awaited
Mr.. Flowers reply. "They have revised
them" said Mr.. Flower seriously, "in the
same manner that the farmers in Dakota
erect stone walls as protection against
cyclones. They built them four feet high
and six feet thick, so that if they blow over
they are higher than they were before. And
SO it is," he continued, while everybody
about the table roared with laughter, "with
the Republican revision of the tariff. They
revise it in such way that it's always
higher when they get through than it was
before they began"

Ex-Gov. Cameron, of Virginia.
He PUBLISHES A LETTER wITHDRAwfEG
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

He PUBLISHES A LETTER wITHDRAwIEG
FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Ex-Governor VIM. L. Cameron, of Peters
burg, Va, Sunday last published letter in
which he renounces his allegiance to the
Republican party, both State and national
1t was his intention to have prepared this
letter several weeks ago, but painful ILL.,
ness nterfered with his plans. ExGov-
ernor Cameron is considered to be one of
the most brilliant men in the State and was
elected Governor over Senator John W..
Daniel in the memorable campaign of 1880.
He justifies his action in Withdrawing from
his party as follows:
"The Republican party preserves no
longer the semblance of speaking for the en-
tire country, but bases its claim to supremacy
on sectional prejudices and sectional inter
est, pure and simple. Not only is this SO,
but the directors of its policy have not hest
tated in the attainment of their ends TO
prostitute the plighted faith of the party in
sight of all the world, and to renounce In
their congressional enactments the promises
solemnly made in the Chicago platform
They stand sefconvicted not only OF false
pretense and punic faith, but of mathemati-
cal malignancy in seeking to retain power
by reinvoking the war sentiment at the
North and West and by resurrecting all the
stock phrases of fanaticism and sectionalism
which could stir the South into resentment
and retort
"Their object was and is to force tle
fighting as between solid Nortal and &
solid South, and at the same time 10 use the
small contingent of Southern Republicans
in Congress TO minimize the power of the
South by such political denominations as the
Lodge bill, and by so framing a tariff law
(under pretext OF protection to American
labor and American products) as to increase
every burden of the customs upon the
weaker section and as to leave in force, in
all its shameless inequality, the revenue tax
upon tabacco"
In closing Col. Cameron says: "Prisdent
Harrison has done nothing south of Mason
and Dixon's line since his Inauguration ex-
cept to recognize with reluctance that any
such country existed His appointments,
with just few enough honorable variations
10 prove the rule, have been of men not rep
resentatives in character, influence or capa-
city He has shown utter inaptitude to
square his actions with his utterances, his
performances with his promises, his princi-
pies with his prejudices, or his status with
his stature. He has been the instrument
willing or unwilling, of the machine ele.
ments of his party, and for the want OF bold
and brave catholic action he has made him
self responsible for the fact that in the North
and West there is divided Republican
party and that in the South there is none
worthy of the name"

HENRY Wa VAT7'ERSON'S OPINION OF
BLAINE

In recent issue OF the Louisville Courier
Journal is Judgment of Secretary Blaine
and his reciprocity policy, from which we
reproduce the following extract:
Too much significance cannot be attached
to Mr.. Blaine's recent argument for reci.
procity between this country and the ma
tions OF Latin America. Mr.. Blaine, is,
without question, the keenest intellect in
the Republican party. By force Of brains,
brilliance and experience he is easily first
among Republican leaders, and he owes this
premiership chiefly To the acuteness and
swiftness with which he perceives public
sentiment, and the promptness and adroit-
ness with which he springs forward as its
champion.
To no one in the least acquainted with
the character of this political leader could
there be a more striking evidence of the
growing demand for freer trade than Mr..
Biaine's sudden advocacy of reciprocity.
That the man who but short time ago SO
dramatically flashed across the sea his de-
fiance to President Cleveland, when the lat.
ter placed himself at the head of the tariff
reformers, is now the man TO step forth and
command his party to halt and turn back
from the very road toward which he di-
rected it, is at once another manifestation of
Mr.. Blaines sagacity and another proof that
the tide has set irresistibly against the bar
riers which have walled our shores and
which have made Us, commercially, de-
