FRUITS AND JAPAN CLOVER.

would like to supplement what Mr. J.

cots, cherries, etc, with the statement that

English morillo cherry, the Bartlett pear,
the hlehef pear and the LIE Conte pear.
All are growing splendidly and promising
for this year full crop of fruit. Growing

whether or not Japan clover is grown in
Texas, and if grown, with what SUGGEST

Shall be glad to have your promised re
port. The course pursued by Mr. Martin
and yourself is the proper course to pursue.
Telling of what we have and what we are
able to do is worth more than whole volumes
of what we might possibly do under favora-
BILE circumstances.
While japan clover nespedeza striata),
is now growing in many parts of Texas, we
cannot say positively that any Texan has
yet given it attention as a crop. Tho agri-
cultural experiment station at College Sta
ton appears to have been experimenting
with it. In due time it will have spread by
the roadside and on old fields all over
the state. 1t has done this for all the lower
states east of the Mississippi river, and it
seems to be moving its ''star of empire
westward, along with the ''sneeze weedn
and other improbable growths. From the
much that has been said in its praise one
ought to consider il is poor Tray in bad

from the vessel differs in not single par
ticular from the last.
A good deal might be said with reference
to the different means of applying these
liquid poisons now in vogue among planters,
but we can give that part of the subject
only passing touch at present. There are
many patent "spriukling machines" now
on the market and to be had in Southern
cities. and some Of them seem to work very
well, though we have not given to any of
them sufficient study to enable US to vent
ure an opinion as to merits or dement's.
The main thing is to get the poison over the
plants in as fine spray as possible, and, Of
course, at the least possible cost. One of
the implements in most general use is COM
mon force pump rugged to barrel contain
ing the liquid and provided with some kind
of nozzle calculated to throw the liquid
broadcast when it is forced through it. The
barrel is hauled over the patch on a two
horse cart or wagon, which ''straddles" a
row of cotton as it goes. OF course the cotton
is bent down under the axle of the vehicle,
but this rarely damages it, as it soon rises
again to its original perpendicular. In
many localities cheap tin force pump,
made expressly for the purpose, is for sale
at the hardware stores. The common gar
den fountain pump may be made to an
swer very well where the work is not on
too large scale; and we have known
several acres to be saved by spraying with
a common hand sprinkling pot, but this
was hard work and tedious.

pings. Following is the formula employed
in its manufacture:
Whole cotton seed ....,,.,......,...75O lbs
Superphosphate OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 800
kainet. 20 "
Good stable manure. ...............15U "
Mix well together and keep moist in blk
until the cotton seed has undergone par.la.
decomposition. In case cotton seed meal Is
used instead of the whole cotton seed, le
duce the weight fifty pounds ana add diIy
pounds to the kainet.
The success achieved by Mn Furmsa
with this compound led to the establish
ment of factory for the preparation OF the
fertilizer. Large quantities OF the fertilizer
were shipped from the fsctory, but we be-
lieve it is not now running. Mr.. FuruaE
would not allow his formula TO be patented
and its simplicity enabling any one TO manu-
facture the fertilizer for himself eventually
killed the factory.

when notified that his wifes condition
was alarming he secured n locomotive

was at ler bedside when she died. Mrs.
Knights was lady highly esteemed in
this community, where she had lived for
sixteen years. She was the mother of
Mrs. William Dwinelle and Mr.. w. d.

her. The funeral will take place from

the gem being worth that sum, hence his
action.
