CHECKER GOSSIP.
The Local II. M. @. A. To Play By
Telegraph.


The schedule of the International
Checker League, in which Jersey City
has a representative team, has at last
been arranged. The local team will play
its first game in New York on Wednes-

two contests at home, one with Brook
lyn and the other with Newark. The
team will hold an important meeting at
Blewitt's Hotel on Saturday evening.
The subscription match between DIR.

Brooklyn Club. DR.. Schaefer won two
games in New York and two in Newark
and twelve contests resulted in a draw.
Mr. George W. Parks, the Secretary
of the Jersey City Y. NJ. c. A, has ar
ranged for an interesting checker con-
test to take place tomorrow evening at
the building On Wayne street. The con-
test in question will be by telegraph,
and three of Newark's best players will
engage the Y. NJ. C. AS cracks. As
this will, be the first time that a game
has been played by telegraph in this city.
Secretary Parks cordially invites all
lovers of the game to be present.
Policeman Bose of the Fifth precinct
claims the checker championship of the
Jersey City Police Department, and Will
be pleased to meet anyon who doubts
his right to hold that title. Whenever
Mr.. Bose is on relief duty he spends his
time showing the other men of the pre-
cinct how to play the game. Sergeant
Charles Haag is one of his most promis-
ing pupils.

The San Jose Scale

Professor Smith, entomologist of the
New Jersey station, closes bulletin on
the subject of this dreaded insect pest
with series of recommendations, among
which are: If on examination the scale
is present in young orchard, use stiff
brush and brush off the scales during
the winter season. If the trees are too
numerous to be treated by hand, prune
back and wash the trees with a potash
solution a month later. Treat the trees
with kerosene emulsion.
Professor Riley, in bulletin issued
from the Maryland station, expresses
doubts as to whether anything is to be
gained by the stiff brush treatment urged
by Professor Smith and believes that
any effective winter wash will obviate
the necessity for this preliminary labor.
The other treatment recommended he
pronounces valuable. He concludes his
bulletin with this statement: AS a re-
suit of later experiments the past win
ter it becomes evident that any thorough
spraying of the two pound to the gallon
solution of whale oil soap will be per
fectly effective and may be depended
upon as substitute for the treatment
urged by Professor Smith"

or quite level, still there is one way
along its surface that is level Find the
level line and lay out your bed Is inches
wide and then a path 10 inches wide.
Make your path go around one end of
first bed and then the opposite end of
second bed, and so on for as many beds
as you want, is the advice Of a CORE
spOndent who illustrated and described
his plan as follows for Kansas Farmer:
I show on this plat 10 beds, each 26
feet long, or 312 feet Of beds, and this,
with two rows of vegetables in each bed,
makes 624 feet of vegetables or plants
AS the beds and paths are level from end
to end Of each, if your paths are inch
es deep and you turn in inches of wa
ter, this inch head, with the fall it
will get going around the end Of the
beds, will carry the water back and
forth, until soon after the time the last
bed is reached they will all have been
soaked through and through and all of
your plants be effectually subirrigated
The advantage Of having only one stream
Of water to look after instead Of several
smaller streams running down the slope,
where they soon reach the end Of your
rows and the water wastes away, is less
trouble and by far more economical of
water. Any man having an eight foot
windmill can, by putting up 100 bar
rel tank, Or, better still, building a
small pond, one he can build in even
one days time with team and IN ordi-
nary slip scraper, have as fine garden
as any in the land.
If at any time he wants to water any
of the lower beds and not the upper
ones, he can let the water run down i'll
ditch CAP to opposite the bed needing
water, and by cutting through bed No
Is, can use water where wanted. By
laying out beds to left of ditch GA, :"
Strawberries, gooseberries, etc., can be
planted and watered in same manner
as our vegetable garden.

Castor Bean Culture.

Among other industries suggested by
the Reporter, which might be carried
on advantageously in Orlando is the
growing of castor beans and the manu-
facture of the oil. The oil mill is under
stood to be a not expensive plant, The
cost would be within the reach Of our
business men. In the light of two years
experience here, it might be claimed
that the beans cannot be successfully
grown here. 1t is true, Western men of
experience in the manufacture of the
oil attempted for two years to grow CAS-
tor beans near here and made failure
of the undertaking; but this failure was
predicted by every intelligent old resi-

Experiments With Corn.

From the Maryland experiment. station
comes a report on experiments with
corn, season of 1894. Here is summary
Of results:
An application of 800 pounds Of fer
tilizer on corn increased the yield 8. 1
bushels per acre, but the increased yield
was not sufficient to pay for the applica
ton of the fertilizer. In the test of wide
and narrow rows the narrow rows gave
an increased yield of Ga bushels. Shall
low cultivation of corn gave slightly
better yield than deep cultivation. Corn
which was cultivated three times yield
ed 41.1 bushels per acre, that which
was worked five times yielded 49,. 5
bushels per acre. Drilled corn gave a
rather better yield than checked corn.
Manure from we'll balanced ration
made slightly more corn per acre than
manure from poorly balanced ration.

Boone's Early Orange Again.

Having had some experience with
Boone's Early orange, wish to make a
statement of the facts as noticed by
me:
AS soon as Boone's Early was adver-
tised procured buds of Mr.. Boone and
four trees had fruit last year. The
fruit on each tree was alike every way;
size about 176, with little rag, practically
seedless.
By the 18th of September the oranges
were eatab BILE, and by the 18th of October
were coloriDg, sweet, vinous, and as good
as ordinary oranges often on the last of
December. [ was delighted, and re-
budded numbers of trees that were fruit
ing inferior oranges.
All that Mr.. Boone had claimed for
them was fully realized.
had Homosassa, Early Egg, Oblong,
Centennial Trophy and Satsuma but no
one of them compared with Boone's
Early. But the blizzard melted all of
them ''like snow fake on the river"
I have tried Mr.. Boone and others for
buds but have failed so far to procure
any.
This county (Alachua), being in the
extreme Northern part of the orange
region where we need an early variety,
Boones is o. K. every way. If it is an
anomaly, commend me to anomalies.
We want an orange which can be mar
keted before the December and January

Mrs. William Scott, who lives in what
is known as Oak Hall, near Gainesville,
created some excitement one night re-
Gently by the discharge of a shotgun.
Oak Hall is situated in an immense yard
studded with large water oaks. For the
past several weeks Mrs. Scott says that a
white couple have been in the habit of
entering the yard at all hours of the
night. While the young people were
not at all boistrous, Mrs. Scott did not
approve of the secret tete-a-tetes on her
premises at that hour of the night, and
