Rasteninr Emit Bearing.

The most discouraging fact about fruit
growing, says theeAmerican Cultivator, is
the long time thatmost fruit trees require
after planting before they come into bear
ing. 1t is during this waiting period that
the trees are most apt to be neglected, I'M
til finally, when bearing has fully begun,
they are apt to be weakened by attacks of
insects or disease. Is 1t necessary to wait
a number of years for trees to become ma
ture before producing fruitl What is
this so-calleds s'maturity2" Fruit is pro-
duoed from buds on shoots of the previous
seasons growth. Two or three years after
planting ought to be enough TO enable the
tree of whatever kind TO produce some
fruit if no more than few specimens
Fruit trees do thus come into early bear
ing in the semi-tropical climate of Cali
fornia. They sometimes do here when
the tree is injured and its vitality is i'm
paired This is recognized as a sign of
disease or insect attacks. Often young
apple or peach tree that has bOrer work
ing in its trunk will bear good crop one
year and die the next, That, of course, is
not the kind of early productiveness that
we want.
it is pl obably true, however, that some
lmpalrnel OF igOr IS essential in bring
ing any tree mo bearing. This is the
secret of d Harfng growth by grating the
pear on the ounce stock. The top growth
constantly tends to exceed what the
ounce root is able to support. This in
duces the forma ion of fruit buds, and
the naUit of early bearing is formed. This
can be done to a large extent by severe
root pruning of standard trees, and by
moderate shortening in of the summer
growth. So far as the growing of large
amount of leaf and wood is concerned,
it directly prevents the concentration of
sap to the production of fruit. The leaf
obtains carbonic-acid gas from the atmos-
phere. This with very little phosphate
and potash, will make more leaf and more
wood growth. Lessen the carbonic-acid
gas by shortening the leaf growth, and
the proportion of potash and phosphate is
larger. 1t is then more at to produce
fruit and seed than to produce additional
wood.
After the mineral elements of plant
food have been exhausted there is a con-
slant tendency to retard fruit bearing
until a later period. We know apple orch

CroRs-Breeda.

We often receive letters, says the Live
Stock Journal, from persons asking us
what we think of crossing various pure
breeds, such as Langshans and Minorcas,
Cochins and Leghorns, Brahmas and Leg
horns and Wyandottes and Bruhn1as, etc.
In fact all sorts of crosses are suggested.
To all such enquirers we simply say
Don't do it," There is no advantage to
be gained by mixing up thoroughbred stock
in the way suggested 10 would be no
improvement, in our opinion.
There are two strains Of pure-bred
fowls that are about as near perfection
for table use, or the general market, as
anything in feathers could be.
They are the Plymouth Rocks and
Wyandottes. These two breeds are the
result of years of selection and careful
breeding by the very best and most ex-
pert poultrymen in America. They are
the two typical Ameaicap breeds. Both
varities have strong advocates and ad-
mlrers, and the number of men and
women who are breeding them is beyond
estimate. U
AS table fowls there is but little differ
ence between them. Both breeds are
simply fine for the purpose, and no cross
breed or mon2rel can equal, much less
surpasS them.
Inc FlymOuJn ROCK IS the Oldest breed
OF the two and, perhaps, therefore. breeds
the truest to color and marking, and may
be said to be the funniest advanced, and
the most thoroughbred.
The Wyandotte, particularly the silver
variety, is well advanced, however. as a
distinct breed. and was many wears ago
admitted TO the standard as pure-bred
variety. 1t may be admitted that the
Wyandotte is more difficult 10 breed 10 an
ideal, and hence finely marked specimens
are more rare than they are among the
Plymouth Rocks.

FLORIDA soft Phosnhata.

Agricultural Editor the Morning News
There is new theory afloat now in re-
gard to Florida soft phosphate, one which
it is said has been proven more than an
hypothesis by actual test not only in the
laboratory of the chemist, but in that
also of nature, the field. Prof. Liebig
holds that organic matter undergoing
decay accommodates carbOnic acid in the
soil, ana when the showers fall they dis
solve the carbonic acid which then has
the power to take up phosphate of lime
Upon this assertion tests have been made
both in the laboratory and ip the fields
of the experiment stations with both the
acid phosphate, and soft phosphate
nearly dried and ground. The
experiments show largely in favor
of the soft phosphate untreated
with acid. These experiments show also
that in the Florida soft phosphate the
farmers of the future will not have to
give all they can make for ton of manipu-
lated stun that may or may not be worth
less. Fourteen hundred pounds of soft
phosphate floats at 80 cents per hundred
81 80; 400 pounds of potash at S12, 200
pounds of nitrate of soda or sulphate of
ammonia at So, making in all for ton
$22 80, would give our farmers a high
grade manure for minimum price. The
SOU phosphate HOdUS can De ndu IN any
quantity at 81 per ton free on board the
cars or boats. When the newly dis
covered deposits of nitrate of soda can be
worked and the price brought down to
$40 per ton, or even less, in Savannah as
it is said can be done there, there will be
no more testing a bout Florida sand The
above formula has been used in this
vicinity this year under lettuce, turnips,
cabbage and straw berries, with the most
satisfactory results by number of our
farmers. JOHN w. TENoH.

TIE ROAD To IMPROVEMENT

and the advantage to be derived from
cross-breeding consists solely in introduc-
ing thoroughbred blood among tile
mOngrels on the farm. In this way the
value of the farm flock may be advanced.
Pure breeds are more desirable, but,
II for economy's sake, the improved varie-
ties cannot be obtained for start, then
a thoroughbred cock of any good variety
introduced among the common hens will
result in improved chickens-chickens
that will lay earlier and grow larger than
the common hens that hatched them.

Yielded for 40 Years.

Marquette, Mich, July 30.-Superintendent
Dustan of the Central Copper mine in
Kewaunee county, has received orders from
the directors office in Boston to abandon the
mine. This closes forty year term of con-
tinuous operation of this mine during which
it has returned to its stockholder $27,-
100000 in dividends on an investment of
S7O0,0OO. sThe vein had been worked by some
prehistoric race, and it was traces they left
of their work that led to the discovery of
the mine in 1858. The shutdown is due to
the utter exhaustion of the vein. Four
hundred men, wholly dependent upon the
mine are out of employment.

GOMPERs ON THE STRIKE
He Says a Political Programme Has Been
Made Out, e

Detroit, July 3O.-Samuel Gompers, presi-
denl of the American Federation of Labor,
who was acre yesterday, speaking of the
recent strike, said: Although falling in
the dramatic sense. the workmen have Sc
cured many advantages by it. Concessions
of more or less Importance have been made
by employerssin over 1000 instances. The in
functions of the courts. while they had the
effe ct of defeating the railroad strike. have
made. the working men feel more keenly
than ever that if they expect any material
change from existing wages, they must
depend wholly on their own efforts. The
strike has given great impetus to organ
lied trades and callings, and there are l00.-
600 more men in the unions than.there were
two months ago.
Speaking of the initiation of the political
movement, Gompers said a political pro-
gramme had been made out for the Fedora
tion of labor at the Chicago convention,
and it was expected that at the next con-
vention matters would take form.
