HORTICULTURE
HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

Some species of fungi have neither
roots. stem, leaves, flowers nor seed
and derive their nourishment through
pores.
In cultivating your apple trees you
may raise corn in it for a very few
years, providing you don't plant it too
near the trees, and will cut it up and
haul it out early in the winter, and by
no means make shock around a tree.
Whether you plant yearlings or FIVE
year-olds, they will be about the same
size six or seven years after planting,
with the chances in favor of the
younger trees being the most firmly
rooted. But up to that time the older
trees will have paid decidedly the best.
One thing is certain, as a rule the
horticulturist lives little better than
the average of men, as he always has
plenty of fruit and vegetables to eat.
He uses 400 to 500 loads of manure an
nually, and his grounds show it. His
soil is an excellent one naturally.

AGRICULTURE.

Plants will starve in any soil, how
ever fertile, unless water is present to
dissolve the food elements and prepare
them for the plants use.
Southern farmers are now more than
ever determined to grow all the hay
and forage needed, instead of depend
ing on the North for them.
Reports from all parts Of New Eng
land show that vegetation is suffering
considerably for the lack of rains. The
hay crop will be unusually light IN
most sections.

CAULIFLOWER.

The caul5f over ought to be much
more generally grown by every farmer
and every owner of even small

writer, and it ought to constitute a
much more frequent part of the bill Of
fare IN every household, rich or poor.

will, and where the crop is of anv size
is about the best way we know of. For
the number of plants that are grown
in an ordinary garden we prefer to tie
each vine to single stake three feet
high, and keep it pretty well pruned.
We allow a branch to start out and
grow until blossoms appear on it and
pinch 1T off just above the blossoms.
All the numerous branches that spring
out along the sides are looked after
and kept pinct Ell eff and the whole
strength of the vine is reserved for a
few lunches of fruit. This causes the
fruit to be larger and to mature better
and In the end about as much in weight
will be produc I'd as would be if the vine
were allowed to run wild. Tomatoes
stand any amount of fertilizing and
need great deal of water if the weather
is dry, though they will survive the
severest drOuth. We cover the surface
around the plants with sccapings from
the barnyard and gradually work this
fertilizer into the soil in the course of
cultivation. When we have occasion
to water the plants we put not less
than two gallons to each plant, and
the next m rning cultivate the ground
thoroughly. This liberal water log will
do for three or four days as the cultiva-
tion makes mulch Of fine soil on the
surfe CO ard prevents rapid evapora-
ton. Tomatoes respond readily to

lose, made in April, elected the follow
ing facts:
A cofferdam was prepared and
packed with corn pith to about the
same density as cocoa cellulose, which
is about seven pounds per cubic foot.
This cofferdam was fired at with a
FOUNDER briggs gun; in one portion a
single hole, and in another portion at
the same level, five shots grouped in a
circle of about inches radius. A head
of water was kept up, varying from
four to seven feet on one side of the
shot hole, and after three hours no
water had come through on the other
side of the cofferdam, the thickness of
the belt being about three feet. At
this time an examination was made,
and it was found that the water had
penetrated in the case of the single shot
hole to depth of eleven inches only
from the orifice, and in the case of the
group of five holes to a depth of twelve
inches from the oriice.
The So results appeared so remarkable
that the Navy Department determined
to make further tests, as cocoa cellulose
has not be en- entirely sati factory, and
in these te SITS very decided superior
ity has been shown over the cocoa cellu-
lose now used.
1t has been the desire of the inventor
of this American celluIose to offer to
the government material practically
inert and free from faults, with a view
to It's general adoption on all vessels; a
native product both in growth and
manufacture, as we'll as in invention
He claims, with PRIDE that in put
ting before the public this corn cellu-
lose, which will utilize hitherto use
less raw material, he is able to offer a
clean, healthy, American product,
superior in every way to any known
material, and grown on American soil,
(Which naturally benz fits our farmere)
free from acids or other injurious in
gradients, and with low density of
one pound four ounces per cubic foot,
cocoa cellulose being three pounds
eight ounces.) 1t is nearly two thirds
lighter than cocoa celIulose, and can be
made absolutely incombustible.
The corn pith cellulose will not oxid-
ize iron or steel. and has no injurious
properties to act on or destroy any part
of vessel.
This material has been patentt d. and
from the present outlook it will be
adopted as a substitute for cocoa cellu
lose, in which case our farmers will
come to the front in new line.

are decidedly interlopers and should
be no longer tolerated than possible to
get them out of the soil. Cutting them
before going to seed is a step in the
right direction, after which the farmer
should make them give place to far
more profitable crop.
After these kinds of fodder have been.
secured and placed by themselves in
the barn, then the newly seeded fields
which are largely composed of clover
should be ready for harvest. There
comes perhaps the most diff suit part
of haying, especially if there is large
amount of clover to secure. This is
calculated to make the best kind of
hay for milch COWS when secured in
right condition, but if it is allowed to
stand too long before cutting. or is
badly cured, then it may rate sc cond
or even third in quality.
For my own use much prefer to
have the first new seeded crop com
posed of mixture of the medium red
and aleike clovers and timothy, for my
locality. Where this is the case these
grasses can be readily and nicely cured
with little more labor than is required
for the timothy alone, and they make
the best kind of hay for all kinds of
stock, except perhaps horses.
With the red clover alone it will be
necessary to go through with more
elaborate process, cutting when the
dew is eff, perhaps in the afternoon,
and the next day after becoming par
TALLY wilted putting in cocks where it
may remain for few days to slowly
cure and then after little airing be
ready for the barn. The idea should
be to cure with as little exposure to the
hot sun as possible, and thereby retain
the leaves and blossoms-the most di
gestable portion-as we'll as the delicate
aroma for which this kind of hay should
be distinguished.
After the clover has been secured,
then the timothy, red top and other
later maturing kinds should receive at
tention. With such crops of these as
the farmer should aim to grow, and
harvested at the right time while yet
quite green and succulenG, considerable
work will be required to secure in the
best manner But it will be found more
profitable to do little extra work here
if necessary, thus securing the best
quality of hay, than to allow the crop
to stand until ripe when it will require
very little drying and be far less as a
milk or fl sh producing food. With
the use of the tedder the process of
curing can be greatly facilitated. the
hay being secured in less time and in
better condition. AS to how much
hay should be dried will depend on
conditions. 1t should be dry enough
so as to come out of the NOW bright,
free from smoke or rust. Hay for
ho1scs may be allowed to become lit
tie more mature than should be the
case for COWS, and in this way with
proper foresight and management the
entire crop on a we'll ordered farm can
be secured when in it's best condition
for all kinds of stock, as with the pres
ent appliances for harvesting and the
improved condition of our fields, the
hay crop should be secured in one half
the time required or occupied genera
tion or two ago. E E TOwLE

CENTRAL OFFICE, Raleigh, N. @.
The reports Of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina State Weather
Service, for the week ending Saturday,
June 90, 1895, indicate another generally
favorable week. The temperature has
averaged one or two degrees above
normal, with about the average amount
of sunshine. Scattered showers occur
red on several days at large number
of places, but there are points in all
districts, especially in the northeastern
part of the State. where rain is now
needed. Local heavy rains, with soma
hail, occurred on the 26th and 27Gh
without any serious damage. Cotton
is blooming in the southern portion
of the State. Corn is doing very well,
and is being laid by generally. Thresh
ing wheat has just begun. Fruit is
coming in very abundantly.
Eastern District The past week is
generally reported as having been very
favorable in this district. Good show
ers occurred, but poorly distributed.
Only one place in Columbus county
reported an excessive rainfall, but in
the northern part of the district rain is
beginning to be needed. The tempera-
ture has been high, with plenty of sun
shine. Crops are in a healthy condition
and continue to improve. Corn is tas
selling; laying by is general. Tobacco
Is looking we'll and some beginning to
top. Blooms are reported to have ap-
peared on cotton at Elm City, 26th,
Laurel Hill, 9th. Sweet potato plants
are still scarce; many are still to be set.

SECURING THE HAY CROP.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
To the dairy farmer especially, crop
of the finest gu ality of hay, harvested
at the right time and secured in the
best condition is one of the greatest i'm
portance. For the m ST profitable re-
suits variety of grasses, best adapted
to any locality, is desirable. 1t is sup
posed that proper attention has been
paid to this matter by the farmer.
Now concerning the harvesting and
preparing for use. Both science and
practice have demonstrated the fact
that early cut hay is much the best for
the production of milk and butter. The
point at which the grasses are consid-
cred in the most profitable condition
for this purpose is conceded to be as
nearly as possible when in bloom. If
cut earlier than this there will be a
loss in quantity and an immaturity of
crop; while if allowed to stand too long
there may be a greater bulk but the
quality will have seriously deteriorated.
1t will then contain far less of tie
most nutritious and digestible qualities,
so much to be desired as dairy or
stock feed. Those farmers who have
paid particular attention to the matter
have found out these facts.
With the average farmer it will
hardly be possible to secure all of the
hay crop when in its best condition, as
there will not be sufficient time for
this purpose, but with good manage
ment and proper harvesting appliances
this work can be so conducted as to be
reasonably satisfactory.
First there should be good tools and
machines for facilitating this work, as
much will depend on thie. Be ready
to commence when the first of the
grasses are ready for the harvest. It
may even be better to begin little too
early than to be much too late in finish
ing
In modern barns there should be
room enough so that the different kinds
or qualities of hay can be kept separate
This will be found of much advantage
when coming to feed and want
ing particular quality of hay for
special purpose, as for dry COWS,
those giving milk, or young animals.
On most farms there will be some
pieces or may be fields of grass that to
make an average or fair quality of hay
must be harvested quite early. These
are the wild or water grasses, and
those places where the white daisy or
other kinds of weeds largely predomi
nate. The native wild grasses are held
in considerable esteem on some farms
where they particularly flourish, and
with proper management-al always cut
ting at an early stage possess consid-
able value as stock hay. The others

Old, overgrown bushes, which have
grown into a mass of bush, should be
thinned and old stunted wood pruned

whole bush may be taken up, divided
and replanted. The great point, says
a writer, is to give rich, mellow and

Polk Alliance, three miles from the
city. They number about twenty-five.
They were dormant for two years. On
the 5sh instant organized a new ALI
ance in Concord with a good working
membership. On the 22nd, last Satur-
day, reorganized Davidson Alliance,
in this county. Derita Alliance, in
this county will be reorganized before
the county meeting. Mecklenburg
county meeting has been postponed till
the 25th of July, for two reasons: First:
the farmers will be well up with their

A sheep that loses her lamb early in

The best that can be done with such is
to feed them extra, so as to fatten rap

The loss of lamb, unless it is from acci

followed by like less from the same
