THE PACIFIC CABLE.
1t Will Make n Landing on Tanning
Island.

NEW YORK, May 21.-An Ottawa dis
patch says: at may be taken as settled
fact that the Pacific cable will be, like its
promoters, essentially British. Under its
treaty with the United States the Hawaiian
government is precluded from allowing any
foreign power to acquire any portion Of
Hawaiian territory The United States hav-
ing given adverse answer to Great
Britain's proposition to secure Necker or
Bird Island a cable station, the Tanning
Island route WILL therefore, be adopted. The
link frcm Victoria to Tanning Island is 500
miles longer than to Necker Island, but
this, it appears, will not initiate against
the effectiveness of the cable. All tender
ers for constructing the cable have been
given assurances to this effect. Tanning
Island is 4 British possession, so that all
the landing places Of the cable will be with
in the empire"

costs more than the spurious Italian
stock sold as Bermuda by New York
seedsmen, but the crop is worth some
thing when grown, thing that cannot
be said of the spurious stock.
Almost every family gardener likes
small patch of celery. The difficulty
seems to be IN getting the young plants
from seed. There are comparatively
few that are successful in growing it
from the seed and they are usually
practical market gardeners. Celery
cult. re in Florida has reached stage
this year that young plants ready for
setting in the open can be furnished
from October to December. We believe
that celery will prove, in time, one of
Florida's best market crops.
On the farm preparations should be
made for sowing good supply of Rust
Proof oats. They make good hay and
grain. If you Iant a pasture for stock
there is nothing better than Florida rye.
On pine lands both rye and oats should
have $50 to 300 pounds of cotton seed
meal per acre. If the rye is to be grown
for grain potash should be added.
Ground tobacco stems give the best re-
suits with rye. H. G. Hastings In Flor

How the Orange Was Improved.

The Los Angeles Times publishes the
following article on the subject of i'm
proving the quality of oranges by ferti-
lizing. Florida growers are fully con-
versant with the benefits derived from
proper and judicious fertilizing, both as
to quantity and quality. The tables and
summary of the article referred to, gives
in detail the percentages of improve
ment affected by fertilization and for that
reason we reproduce the article:
The proprietors of the Agricultural
Chemical Works on Macy street in this
city have issued several bulletins on
subjects connected with the fertilizing
of orchards. the abatement of diseases
and so forth, the same having been pre-
pared by Prof. S. M. Woodbridge, vice
president of the company.
Bulletin No. tells Chow the Orange

tion that is of interest to those who are
looking for the best means of maintain
ing the frultfulness of their orchards,
subject which is beginning to concern
many horticulturists in this section.
The immense crop that is harvested
from an orange orchard IN full bearing

Commenting upon the result that was
obtained from this last test, the author
of the bulletin says:
ut will be seen that the per cent of
increase of total sugars in the Juice in
plot 3-the nitrogen, phosphorus and
potassium plot-was 17.7, while the de-
crease in peel was 1877 per cent"
By making comparison Of plot 2
with plot 3. the plots fertilized as were
the plots of the Wilbur ranch, the per-
centage of increase of sugar, by the
use of potash in addition to nitrates and
phosphates, was 7.85 per cent, and the
decrease of peel are strikingly near the
results reached at Riverside, where the
soil is of an entirely different character
from that where the above mentioned
test was made.

vor of the oranges taken from the plot
which had the addition of potash.
''lt has been said that all these adj
vantages were slight, but if they are,
it should be remembered that the cost is
slight also. Counting potash at 6 cents
per pound. it would cost but twenty-four
cents per 1000 pounds of oranges to have
all the advantages of less peel, smaller
navels, more sugar and better favored
oranges; besides there would be the sat-
isfaction Of knowing that one was main

showed much deeper and healthier

''To be brief, we will call attention to
but three principal points in the above
table.
"First, the percentage of sugar was

100 pounds of sugar from plot |, would
produce 1875 pounds from plot 8; the
same amount Of oranges that would pro-
duce 100 pounds of peel from plot would
produce only IT'S pounds from plot 9,
and the general appearance to the eye
was by all odds the best.
