News and Notes

1t is reported that the 1895 onion crop
is a full yield, though not up to the
bonanza crop of 1891.
The northern limit of successful rasp-
berry culture has been greatly extended
by the practice of laying down the
canes in winter and covering with
earth
1t is estimated that the cranberry crop
is about one-third that of the full yield
A correspondent of Country Gentle
man gives the assurance that winter
turf oats can be sown in the spring with
success.
Secretary of Agriculture Morton has
closed all the special sugar experiment
stations and has had the property sold
for what it would bring
The trade i'll frozen milk, which has
advanced to important proportions in
England, is attracting attention here,
as it renders shippers independent of
distance.

Winter Oats.

Letters from experiment stations in
the central west show that winter oats
have been tried but in few localities
north of the Ohio; that practically no
systematic tests have been made Of them
in all that region, and that they have
been most successful in the extreme
southern portions. Much the same can
be said of winter oats III the middle and
New England states, although they are
used to some extent in southern Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland At the Rhode
Island experiment station, where the
winters are usually less severe than in
almost any other part Of New England,
winter oats were sown with rye after
potatoes in 1891. They terminated well,
hut failed to live through the winter,
not even single stool showing a green
leaf in spring, and no trials have since
been made there. IN calling attention to
the foregoing American Agriculturist
says: eve do not know Of any New
England or York state farmer who has
grown these oats but they thrive i'll
northern Virginia, where the mercury
goes IL degrees below zero, and several
miles north Of Indianapolis. -

A Storm at Sea

Increases the discomfort of the voy-
ager. But even when the weather is
not tempestuous he is liable to sea
sickness. They who traverse the s'gl-
gantic wetneSs" should be provided
with Hostetters Stomach Bitters,
which quiets disordered stomachs
with gratifying speed and certainty.
To the hurtful influence of a tropic,
malarious or too rigorous or damp
climate, as well as to the baneful eff
fects of unwholesome diet and bad
water, it is reliable antidote. Com
mercial travellers by sea or land, mar
liners, miners, western pioneers, and
all who have to encounter viciSsitudes
OF climate and temperature, concur
in pronouncing it the best safeguard.
1t prevents rheumatism and pulmo-
nary attacks in consequence of damp
and cold and it is an efficient defense
against all forms of malaria. II can
be depended upon in dyspepsia, liver
and kidney trouble.

Pleasure in California.

During the winter months the resi-
dents of the Eastern States make the
best of forbidding conditions and
amuse themselves in various ways by
large expenditure of energy. They
work hard, but they have sport. They
must be careful to avoid the numer-
Gus dangers with which very cold
weather surrounds them. All of their
efforts at amusement are a struggle
against forbidding and uncongenial
aspect>of nature. They simply create
all the pleasure they get; nature, in
stead of helping them, presents a
constant protest against their pleas
ure. During these same months the
visitor in California simply has to sit
down and enjoy more pleasure than
his most active efforts could have Sc
cured in the Eastern States; and if he
wants to double the pleasure which
mere inactivity affords, he can do so
with the least possible eXertion. At
all times he has abundant sunshine in
California, for the rainy days are few
and short, and there is neither snow
nor ice to make him a prisoner. Flow
ers bloom increasingly in the garden,
and fresh fruits are always at hand.
Watermelons and strawberries grace
his Christmas dinner.
All along the coast of California the
summers are cold enough to make
wooden clothing comfortable. In the
Eastern States the wretched inhabi-
tant wears the thinnest of clothing
and then suffers from the heat. The
Californian goes camping or strolling
through the woods with no fear of a
drenching, for the California summers
are rainless. The mountain scenery
is of infinite variety and unapproach-
able majesty and beauty. Large and
elegant hotels abound at all the sea-
side resorts. Splendid vineyards and
orchards exist everywhere, and the
most gorgeous wild flowers abound.
All the most beautiful resorts and
wild retreats of California are reached
by the lines of the Southern Pacific
Company. Any of these agents of
the company will give information on
this subject: e. Hawley, Assistant

Actual Potash.

In bulletin from the Rhode Island
station occurs the following:
cit is significant fact that many
fertilizers are claimed to contain sui
phate of potash on actual potash equal
to a given amount Of sulphate of potash.
This is evidently done for one or both
of the following reasons: /. 1t is we'll
known that tobacco, hops, sugar beets
and potatoes are of better quality if
grown with sulphate of potash than with
the muriate, or, i'll other words, that a
large quantity of chlorine lowers the
quality Of these crops. 2. Ten per cent
of sulphate Of potash is really equal to
about 8 per cent Of actual potash, and
hence by stating it as sulphate the unin-
formed farmer is led to believe that
twice the actual amount of potash is
present. The only way by which the
farmer may be sure of obtaining ferti-
lizers containing little chlorine is by
watching the analyses or by buying the
chemicals and mixing his own goods.

Irrigation Problems.

The problems involved in irrigation
of the present and for the future are
vital, not only to our western states, but
to the rest of the country The Ameri-
can Agriculturist has shown how direct
is the interest of the south in this mat
ter, for comprehensive system of stor-
age reservoirs in the west might hold
back the floods which now periodically
devastate the valleys of the Missouri,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Red and other
rivers, whose waters ultimately seek the
gulf. The relation of contiguous states
to interstate irrigation enterprises is an
other problem that is yearly becC ming
more complicated.

Spraying Plants.

Among the important points brought
out at the last meeting of the Society
For the Promotion of Agricultural Sci
ence were the following:
Spraying plants prevents, or at least
checks, the attacks of fungi and insects,
and this is the reason it is so generally
practiced. In addition spraying with
certain preparations, like bordeaux mix
ture, stimulates growth and causes an
increased productiveness in certain
plants. 1t is not known just how these
results are brought about, for none of
the compounds in bordeaux mixture can
be regarded as plant food. The results
appear to be produced by the effect Of
the sprays on the soil, modifying it's ca
paeity for absorbing and retaining heat,
moisture and air

Value of Bean Straw.

The Sheep Breeder makes the state
ment that experience last winter in
feeding sheep and lambs for sale in the
spring made it appear that bean straw
is worth so per cent more than clover
hay. This is fact worth noting in con-
neotion with the many recommends

ADMISSIBLE IN JOURNALISM.

Young men, don't swear. There is
no occasion for it outside of a printing
Office, where it is useful when the pa
per is behind time. 1t also comes
handy in the proof reading, and is in,
dispensable when the ink works bad
and the press begins to buck. 1t has
been known to entirely remove that
tired feeling of an editor when he looks
over the paper after it is printed. Out
side of a printing Office it is a foolish
habit.-Dalton ga Tribune.
