up-to-date methods of fighting insects.
The work is thus intensely practical.
1t illustrates and describes all the i'm
portant insect pests and goes into great
detail in describing remedies for them
and methods of preventing their injuries.
Great progress has been made IN the use
of insecticides during the past three
years, all the results of which are en-
bodied in this new book. Unlike previous
works on entomology, which frequently
have been noted for the fullness with
which they describe insects and their
poverty of remedies or preventives for
the same, Prof. Weeds work excels in
practical directions for applying insec-
ticides that have proven to be Of real
efficiency. We are sure that any farmer
or gardener who buys this book will con-
slider the money splendid investment,
for the application of any one of the
remedies recommended for important
pests will save many times the cost of

about insects and insecticides that will
come up at any time during the year,

Silvers' Pig.

Since by the grace of President Ad-
ans of the State Horticultural Society
and the favor OF the Florida press at
large, 'Silvers' Pig" is likely to be-
come historical, it may be as well to
correct the impression that would make
it pose as full grown hog.
In our issue of June Is, 1894, as a
local item of interest to those who pre-
fer fresh pig to old salt hog, we wrote:
"Mr. Silver killed a pig the other day
that dressed 100 pounds" In using
the word pig we did so advisedly.
People frequently Kill pigs in the spring
and early summer, but rarely butcher
hogs until the fall Or winter season.
Had Sllvers' pig been spared until the
coming fall we can only estimate what
it's weight might have been, but doubt
less several hundred pounds Of pork
was killed in embryo when Silvers' pig
surrendered to the knife.
1t was not expected that this little
item of purely local news should be of
more than local interest 1t is true,
we advocate diversified farming and
always deprecate the sending of so
much money out of the state for hay,
grain, meat, butter, lard and many
other items of general use which might
just as well be produced at home

END VIEW OF HAY BARN.


The posts may be put on stills or on
brick or stone base, or may be set in the
ground. For the inside posts IL inch
sill set in the ground and filled up level
with gravel and cement is preferred, and
the owner regards a shingled roof as the
cheapest and best.
No lumber bills are given because
these plans areintended to be suggestive
merely, each builder modifying them as
his needs may seem to demand Poles
may be used in some localities and not
in others. Some want more room and
others less. Some may desire cattle sheds
around the outside, while others may
prefer to run the stock under. Each to
his taste, for nothing is more difficult
than to plan farm building that shall
in all respects suit another man.

Sweet Potatoes.

In report to an inquiry in Home and
Farm. Mr.. Massey gives the following
valuable suggestions, which those
who are about to plant will do we'll to
consider and profit by:
The potato is largely made up of
starch and sugar. To enable the plant
to store these largely potash Is needed
in good proportion. But to enable the
plant to use the potash it must be ex-
cited into vigorous growth with due
appointment of nitrogen and phosphoric
acid. Plants need balanced food
ration just as much as animals. 10
plants like the sweet potato which need
a large percentage of potash, stable
m anure is not properly balanced as the
nitrogen is in excess of the other food.
The farmers are right IN saying that
land made too rich with manure will
cause the potato to run to vines. There
would be less of this tendency, of
course, if the manure is reinforced
with phosphoric acid and potash, but
still, with the heavy application of
animal manure you will have an eX-
cessive vine grown. One thing is
doubtless needed in your soil. This is
drainage. The sweet potato abhors a
wet soil, and will never do its best on
soils that are inclined to be wet until
it is well under drained. Turning un-
der good crop of peas should not only
supply humus, but also as much nitro
gen as the crop needs. In the absence
of pea crop compost made OF the
rskings of pine woods, leaves and
mold piled up in the fall and mixed
with lime, and applied heavily broad
cast all over the land will be BEST
When this is used, scatter in the fur,
row, 300 pounds per acre, of mixture
of 5000 pounds of acid phosphate and
200 pounds of muriate of potash. L
prefer the muriate to the kainit, as you
get large percentage of potash with
out so much salt but if kainit is used L
would mix it in the leaf mold compost
so as to make 800 pounds instead of the
200 pounds of the muriate. The muriate
costs about four times as much per ton
as the kainit, but you get your actual
potash cheaper as you do not have to
freight all that salt. The salt, Will

nothing but hair-line slit in splitting
the bark, and better not even that
The wrap must be put on at the bot
tom first and we'll below the cross.cut,
as that is the critical point, and brought
completely around once before the up
ward spiral winding is begun. Use
plenty of wrap to entirely cover the bud.
This is the imperative direction of the
best veteran orange-b builders in the sum-
mer. This is necessary in order wholly
to exclude air and water, and prevent
the bud and wound from souring, for If
this sets in all is lost.
OF course, where this is done the wrap
must be removed promptly as soon as it
is safe to do so. Much depends on the
season and the size of the tree. In the
fall and winter leave the wrap on entire
and undlsturbed for four weeks, especl-
ally if the trees are large and dormant;
three weeks if they are young. In the
spring, Jess time, and in the summer it
is unsafe to leave them on entire for
more than twelve days, and still less for
young trees that are growing fast.
Always leave one complete turn around
the bottom, because that part takes
longer to heal. In sprouting over thou
sands of buds, as one has to do, it is a
bud is among the sprouts, and many
times the operator will be prevented
from breaking off the budded sprout by
seeing the wrap hanging to it. The
wrap generally falls off of it's own ae-
cord after few weeks.
In cutting back the tree to start the
bud always leave little of the top,
which keeps the tree from receiving too
severe shock. In the present case most
budding will necessarily be done on
fresh sprouts, and these may be cut en-
tirely off after the buds have ''taken,"
while in tree the cutting would require
to be done gradually in order to prevent
the bud from being flooded and swamped
with ascending sap.
1t is a good plan to insert The bud
directly under thrifty growing sprout,
if it can be done without danger of de-
forming the tree. This puts it in the
path of the sap and gives it an extra
chance to secure enough to insure it's
starting.
The north side of the stock should be
budded in preference to any other, when
possible, as this is the coolest side.
Of course, a smooth, round sprout
should be selected for budding, so that
the wrap may be wound around it so
tight as to prevent all rain from running
down inside. frequently it is conven-
lent to break off an orange thorn and pin
the upper corner of the wrap so as to
retain it in place, and make water
tight bandage around the tree.-Jack-
sonvilie Citizen.
