perial gardens at Saigon were planted
in California, and from the seedlings
produced by these seeds came the buds
used by Mr.. Bidwell. With these Kings
he also had buds of Riverside Navel
and Paper Rind St. Michael. Previous
to this paragraph had been going the
rounds of the press describing a Won
full orange grown in the royal gardens OF
Cochin, China, exclusively for the impe-
rial family and not allowed outside.
The flavor was reported as far surpass-
ing that of other oranges and it's deeply
tinted pulp flashing through satiny
and almost translucent skin. At first
we were ready to congratulate ourselves
upon having secured this rich prize, but
after the buds had started, revealing
coarse and rank growth, bristling with
enormous thorns, our faith began to
waver. That so highly bred a fruit
could proceed from such an apparently
plebian stock seemed like "gathering
FIGS of thistles." And the fruit that
came at last, rough and wa"ty as an Or
ange citron (citrus tuberosa) seemed the
antipodes of the fascinating description.
It proved to be one of the Suntaras,
now common in India, but supposed to
have originally come from Indo-China.
1t is closely allied to the Mandarin
orange, but being more solid, larger and
more globose, of a rich sprightly flavor
and ripening after the last of the Man
darins have disappeared from market,
holds position distinctively its own.
If grown in sufficient quantity to be
widely known, it would, no doubt, be
held in as high estimation, and be as
regularly quoted in the reports as are
now ruddy Tangerines, so attractive
alike to the eye and the palate.
From the lot of chance seedlings first
grown there appears to be some varia-
ton and doubtless choice. Careful
attention to further propagation and Sc
lection may result in an improvement
upon our present King of Siam as
marked as that between refined Jaffa
and the ordinary sweet Seeding. Even
now any one who has eaten freshly
plucked King orange in April or May,
when the flavor of the Tangerine is al
most a recollection of the past, would
say, noting it's aromatic pungency, crisp
ness and sweetness, 'Verily it is good"

the purpose of securing information on
this interesting point, the writer asked
for estimates from market gardeners IN
different localities, and the result has
been that from Florida the reports OF the
necessary capital per acre in land or It's

implements, seed and all the appliances,
average ninety-five dollars, from Texas
forty-five, from Illinois seventy dollars;
from the Norfolk district OF Virginia the
reports vary from seventy-tive to one

inc to location, and from Long Island,
New York, the average of estimates at
the east end are seventy five, and, at the
west end, one hundred and fifty dollars.
'sMarket gardeners, living ten miles out
of Philadelphia, on tracts OF twenty and
thirty acres, devoting all their land and
energies to growing vegetables, some
times paying forty dollars per acre Tor
rent, estimate that the necessary capital
averages from two hundred to three hun
dred dollars per acre, according to the
amount of truck grown in hotbeds. These
same men calculate the profits to be
from one hundred and fifty dollars to
two hundred and fifty dollars per acre.
Every different is the case on the I'M
mediate outskirts OF Philadelphia, and
other large cities, with the five and ten
acre gardeners, employing several men to
the acre, sometimes a larger force, where
high rent, high wages, intense manurlng
and expensive fOrcing-houses combine to
swell the expenses to an astonishing de-
Oree often over six or seven hundred dol
lars per acre being absorbed the
first year, and without which ready
capital at command the suburban Guilt
vator would be driven to the wall before
the close of the first season, as he
works under heavy expenses, and
he must have ready cash to meet them,
esnecially if the first season be an unprO-
fitable one. OF course, the six or seven
hundred dollars per acre which may be
expended the first year by gardener

tailed expenses, need not be repeated the

indeed, it is absolutely necessary to re-
duce expenses, as the profit liz trucking

outlay; but what would be thought OF an

being satisfied to live on inexpensive land
far removed from market, and use what
others would term an incomplete line OF

nature develops in the ordinary routine
of their business, while others, more pro-
gressive, locate in the outskirts Of great
cities, consequently upon high priced
land, and have every thing new in the way
OF labor-saving appliances.
''The first class OF gardeners may be
be termed experimental farmers, men
tired OF the humdram rotation Of farm
processes and small profits, men looking
for a paying diversifcation of their agri-
turalinterests. Their expenses for APP
planes are not great, as they have al
ready on hand the usual stock of farm
tools, requiring only one or two seed
drills, a small addition to their cultiva-
ting implements, and few tons OF fertil-
izers. Their laborers and teams are
always on hand for the working of mod

expenses OF thefarm, they would not need
to have cash capital OF beyond twenty
to twenty-five dollars per acre for the

farming districts, purchasing or renting
land, especially for market gardening
taking only improved land OF suitable

in cost of building, appliances and labor,
would require cash capital OF eighty to
one hundred dollars per acre. For ex'

Market Gardening.

From an excellent little book, entitled
"Market Gardening and Farm Notes"
Just published by Messrs. D. Landreth Il
Sons, Philadelphia, we take the liberty OF
making the following extract from a
chapter on the development OF market
gardening, etc.
''The unprecedented development in
the Carolinas and Gulf States Of the bus
mess OF growing vegetables for autumn
and winter shipment to the cities OF the
North, to be from those active centers
more widely distributed among the dense
" populated district Of the Middle, West
ern and New England States, has been
oneof the surprises in modern agricut-
ure.
"FOrmerly esculent vegetables could
be divided into classes, and a period
named covering the time OF sale OF each
class-as, for example, peas we're only Oh
fered during May, June and July, and SO
with cucumbers, tomatoes, egg plants
and beans, they all had their seasons,
and, when they were past, only those
people who had greenhouses could expect
more until the return Of the correspond
ing season the following year, but now
that is a condition of the past, for Geor-
gia and Florida, with their evergreen
productiveness. have been able torevolu-
tionize the old conditions, by sending to
northern cities, even when snow clad and
ice bound, the fruits OF balmy summer.
"From such perennial field there are
now offered, at all times, vegetables
which s.t first surprised the observers and
we're only used by epicures, but which
now have become a necessity, not only
on the table of the rich and Well-tO-dO,
but of every hotel and restaurant.
THUS, thanks especially to Florida,

PUTTING IN RYE.
Why Fall Flowing and Seeding Down Are
Pru1tuhle.

Why Fall Flowing and Seeding Down Are
Profitable.
BY fall plowing and seeding down to
rye two crops will be turned under
weeds and rye. There may be little or
nothing added to the soil, as the green
food is derived from the soil itself dur
ing growth, though something may be
gained by the appropriation of the free
nitrogen of the atmosphere, but the
roots of the various kinds of weeds
draw upon both the soil and the sub
soil, converting insoluble substances
into plant food, and also feeding upon
the nitrogen brought down by the
rains as ammonia or nitric acid, which
are returned to the soil when the weeds
are plowed under, while the stirring of
the soil permits the seeds of weeds to
germinnte and be destroyed when the
rye is seeded down. AS rye feeds on
different foods from that preferred by
many of the weeds, it will also convert
inert matter into plant food by storing
it in the stalks, SO that when corn is
planted on top of the rye in the spring
the land will have increased in fer.
tility and the yield Of corn will be
larger. The greatest benefit, however,
will be secured by the destruction OF
the weeds, and the line will exert a
chemical effect on the soil that will
greatly assist in changing the charac.
ter of the plant food. World.

LIVE STOCK NOTES.

The best thing you can'do to insure
success with your young stock is to fur
.nish every hesd of it with q good sire.
This advice is not SO much like putting

seem at first
CATTLE growing cannot be followed
In any haphazard way, and be made
profitable. There must be q definite
purpose in your plans, and breeding
and feeding must be such as will direct
ly minister to that end. Anything short
of this is pretty sure to bring disaster.
PUsipKINs are one of the valuable
crops to be grown for stock feeding.
Grown with the corn they cost but lit
tie for cultivation, take very little fer
tility from the soil, and in feeding have
q tonic effect that counter-balances
some Of the evils that come of too much
corn.
The business of stock growing can
never remain at standstill without
loss. AS soop as any animal gets to a
point where it is making no gain it is
sure to begin encroaching on past ac-
cumulation of profit. If you cannot
keep it going forward, get rid of it right
away.
COSTLY hog pens are not needed. But
they should be strongly built and al

disgrace to our farms because of the
wantonly filthy way in which they are
kept. A hog, as well as any other ami

ings are clean.-Prairie Farmer.

SCARLET GLOVER.

1T Merits the Popularity Which It Is
Gaining Rapidly.
The popularity of scarlet clover is
rapidly increasing in.some sections, and
it surely is deserving of trial in other
abound. We say this just now because of
the following by one who has had eX-
perience with it: ~.
In the fall of 1891 harvested from a
pooV, sandy piece of land ten bushels of
corn per acre. After the last cultivat-
ing of the corn lin july scarlet clover
seed was sown, at the rate of one peck
per acre, and lightly covered. During
the last week in May. 1892, crop of
hay was cut, the sod turned, and COM
mercial fertilizer to the value of s3. SO
per acre drilled in, and again planted
to corn. This crop yielded So bushels
per acre. The season was very dry,
which affected the corn. With this
crop of corn scarlet clover was again
sown, and a second crop of hay cut IN
May, 1898. Thus have fully demon
str11ed that crop of hay and one OF
corn can be taken annually from the
same ground and yet improve it. On
land where the crop was turned under
instead Of making hay, the yield OF corn
was greatly increased.
n Horses and cattle prefer it to the
best timothy hay and will thrive on ii
equally we'll. Five tons of hay pei
acre on good land is no unusual yield
Seven to ten bushels per acre is the
usual yield of seed. Its season is two
weeks earlier than common red clover.
1t will not make permanent pasture,
but will delight the dairyman with two
early, heavy cuttings of green food
but the first cutting must be made be-
fore blooming. After crop of hay OF
seed has been cut the entire plant

horse is his pet, his companion, his
dream by day and night, the Arab is in
sense incompatible. No master can
be more kind. No dog is more intelli-
gent than the dark liquid-eyed steed

cestor, hundred generations back,
his ancestors have loved and trusted
This horse-would that we human be-
ings had not been civilized ou, of so
many of our animal qualities!-will
follow him day and night. He would
fret out his. soul at being hitched to a
post, and his master would scorn to tie
him. He will stand immovable in the
midst of danger and fright which
would make any civilized horse frantic.
He will carry his master through fire
and water. He will unfinchingly face
wounds and death, so long as the hand
which has fed him is placed upon his
neck He will stand over his disabled
lord till help arrives, or he will go
alone to seek it. He will kneel for him
to mount and he will bear him bravely
home, if he falls a sacrifice of his devo-
ton at the door of his masters tent.
These are not always fables. The
horse, treated as he should be genera

intelligence, and has as noble an affec-
tion .as the dog. But, as above-said,
