An Experiment in Growing Pecans.

nuts, that the owner had obtained for
planting on his farm near Tallahassee.

sailing vessel, and on being becaimed
passed Two nights on shore at the house
of farmer. While rambling over the
grounds, noticed number of small
trees with stake by the side of each,
and on enquiry learned that they were
pecan trees. In the course of converse
tion, mine host told me, that man in
the neighborhood followed the business
of planting nuts, and they grew much
faster his way than as ordinarily planted.

How To Crystalline Fruits.

Few confecliOns are more delicious
than candied fruit, and few sweet meats
are more expensive, 60 cents a pound
being the regulation price, and pound
represents very small amount They
can be prepared at about half the cost,
however, at home, if care is taken
Cherries, currants, pineapples, april
cots, pears and peaches are best expert
mented upon. The two former can be
used in punches; the pineapple Is sliced
across the fruit, each piece being good
quarterback thick; apricots are cut on
one side and the stone slipped out, while
pears and peaches are haved, and of
course, peeled.
Make a very thick syrup, pound for
pound, adding for each pound a small
cup of water. Boil the sugar first, then
drop in the fruit, and when they have
boiled clear take out and drain from the
syrup. If the cherries are stoned (the
red ox-hearts make the finest, being not
so sweet as the white and without the
rank tartness of the sour red ones), it is
nice to string them on broom splint,
as they can be more easily handled.
Sprinkle literally with powdered
sugar lay on sieve and set the fruit in
a warm oven. | use wire dish such
as our grandmothers kept fruit in, set
within another dish to catch the syrup.
In two hours turn the fruit. Sprinkle
with sugar again. Keep this up until
the sugar has all drlpped out. On no
account have the oven hot, as it will
dry the fruit and leave it like so much
leather; and, of course, the fruit must
be laid in single rows when drying.
When the juice has evaporated and
the sugar has formed glazed surface,
put away in boxes in dry place.
Waxed paper should be laid between
each layer. A bureau drawer is as good
place as any to keep them.-Grocery

Proper Time to Plant Pecan Trees Remedy
for RorarS.

1Ur DOT0TS'
l. When is the proper time to plant pecan
trees? What is the best soil for them? What is
the best fertilizer to apply to them when in sandy
soil and how much?
@ What is the best remedy for the borer that
de troys limbs on pecan trees and girdles them?
&C F, B.. Warrington, Fla.
ANswER.-1. They Can be planted in
the fall or spring, but the fall planted
trees succeed best and come early into
bearing. The soil which best suits the
pecan is moist and rich, because in their
natural wild growth they are found in
such localities, but they can be planted
on clayey or sandy soil, with little or no
moisture, and by proper fertilization
will grow to large size and yield prof
liable crops They are diligent in their
search after food, and the more porous
the soil, the quicker they will find it,
but soil where water stands on the sur
face should not be chosen, neither that
where there is a ledge of rock near the
surface, because the stronghold of the
pecan is it's tap root, which will some
times penetrate to depth of thirty feet,
sending out laterals all the way down.
1t is only the naturally poor land which
will need a fertilizer-the rich lands
and the valleys will usually furnish
enough plant food for both wood and nut
growth. TO supply any deficiency,
there is nothing better than the compost
heap, which contains all the elements OF
plant growth, but as the supply from
this source is limited, we must look
elsewhere for the necessary fertilizing
materials. Ashes OF all kinds furnish
potash in varying quantities, and the
German kainit contains about IA per
cent of potash. Apply these in not too
large quantities in the fall Of each year
near the trees, and work into the soil.
Nitrogen Can be mixed with muck or
humus Of some kind and applied in the
same way Just around the tree. Blood,
The forms. The phosphates can be sown
at any time, as there is no waste in
them; worked into the soil, these may
be used in the form of ground bone,
mineral phosphate rock, or phosphate
of line. If preferred, all three elements
can be combined in high grade fer
tilizer. During the first year of growth,
if desired, crops OF cotton, corn, peas,
ETC., may be cultivated on the land, and
are rather an advantage to the young
trees as they serve to keep down the
other growth.
2 The pecan tree has no known
disease, and but two enemies-the cater
pillar and saw bug. The latter begins
its depreciation late in the summer and
continues until frost. The smaller
limbs, which are usually sawed off one
or two feet from the ends, will be found
to be punctured at different points and
an egg deposited at each puncture. The
remedy is, to gather all these limbs
and burn them.-Southern Cultvator.

Portland Fraternity.

A delightful evening was passed at the
Holiday Sociable, Dec. 2Sth. Mrs. Jordan
read miss Langthorne," and Miss
Kittie Ripley sang, and some descrip-
lions were called for from the pupils
themselves of Christmas in other coun-
tries. Mr.. Leary responded with an ex-
cellent account of the festival season in
the mother country-old Ireland-and of
the religious observances held there at
that time. A young man, Greek, Mr..
Brown, answered questions in regard to
his country, as did Mr.. Haning of Dem
mark and Mr.. Bryant gave interesting
facts about Russia.
A Virginia reel and come songs in
concert closed the evening, with happy
New Year greetings to all. Messrs.
Murphy, Mitchell, McDonough, Foley.
Delaney and others of the Alumni were
present to add to the pleasure of the
occasion.

Portland's Valuation,
To the Editor of the PRESS:

To the Editor of the PRESS:
In your issue of Dec. 31st Mr.. Burleigh
quotes the sage advice, "Be sure you are
right then go ahead" That is just what
we have DONE. Mr.. Burleigh does not
conine his remarks to the points at is
sue. The first point made by us and in
which we were right and the State As
SCISSOR was wrong, was that the State
had no lawful right to tax us on our
municipal property. We do not, as Mr..
Burieigh states, condemn the State As
SCISSORS for putting into their report
nder the head of town property, city
land on which our public buildings are
situated valued at $515, 053; but what we
do condemn them for is taxing us on
that property which is exempt by law,
and for insisting that we return to
them the buildings on said land SO they
could tax them This is the tender point
with MIR. Burleigh, and the one which

an unlawful act and got caught in it.
That is what the matter is with him.
LII LIS kEcdU WiSuOM... uo uUQcIt0Ok W
do what the law would not sustain him
in doing, viz: tax municipal property.
That is the sore spot, friend Burleigh,
and one which you tarefully avoid.
The second point is this, that 81, $780,
359 doom on Portland is unjust. Our
valuation on our real estate as a whole
is higher than other cities in Maine.
Perhaps there may be a few cases where
it is not, but as whole, while in 1894
on rot Ji1of daoraoSa6 bo
year 1898, S276, 730, still you increase us
over valuation that shows a falling
off $4,350, $50, and in your "great wis
dom which you appear to possess" call
it right. And we call it wrong. This
may be matter of judgment as to who
is right or wrong. Now these are the
only two points that we have made any
talk about. The first one you have en-
tlrely ignored from the beginning. Now
be frank and just acknowledge You
made mistake In taxing and trying
to get more to tax of our municipal
property. When men with "great wis
DOM make mistakes they acknowledge
it. and you may be happy yet. We agree
with Mr.. Burleigh on one point. We very
much dislike newspaper controversy, es-
pecially when he wants to argue the
whole tax question, and we don't pro-
pose to continue it.
Very truly yours,

Chairman Board of Assessors, City of
