Values of Fertilizers.

The experiment stations of Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut and
New Jersey have fixed, as the values Of
fertilizers in 1896, 1872 cents per pound
for nitrogen in ammonia salts, > cents
for nitrates, y cents for organic nitro
gen of fine dry ground fish and of meat
and blood, , cents for nitrogen in cot
tonseed meal, 1 8 cents in fine bone and
tankage, ! 4 cents in fine medium bone
and tankage, II cents in medium bone
and tankage and cents in coarse bone
and in hair and horn shavings and coarse
fish scrap, 6 4 cents for water soluble
phosphoric acid, cents for nitrate sol
uble, 2 to i cents in different grades
of ground fish and bone tankage, cents
in cottonseed meal and wood ashes and
8 y cents for potash as high grade sui
phate and ~ cents as muriate.
These prices are one-half cent lower
than last year for nitrogen, 2 cents
lower for organic nitrogen in ground
fish or meat, 3 cents lower in cottonseed
meal and one-hah cent higher in fine
bone and tankage and l cent higher for
lower grades Phosphoric acid is cent
higher, except in bone and tankago,
which is unchanged in the different
grades Potash is also the same as last
year. Commenting on the foregoing
County Gentleman explains that these
are the prices, as near as can be esti-
mated, at which the respective ingredi-
ents were retailed for cash in large mar
kets in the raw materials which are tho
regular sources of supply. These valua-
lions are found to correspond fairly
with the average retail prices at the
large markets of standard raw materials,
such as sulphate of ammonia, nitrate of
soda, dried blood, muriate of potash,
superphosphates, ground fish and bones
and tankape.

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 a 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 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

Compared With Smaller Tubers For ra-
BILE and For Exhibition.
Should judges at fairs award pre-
miums to the largest potatoes or TO those
Of medium size? Are the largest speci-
mems of as good qualitFas the smaller
ones? These questions We're recently
discussed through the columns of The
Rural New Yorker. One write, who
believes that big specimens attract at
tention. SAYS
Having exhibited vegetables and
farm products for upward Of ten years, |
have learned that anything very large
is the most pleasing TO the crowd, who
do not stop to test the quality or even
to look at such specimens as may be
seen ON the general market.
A New York correspondent writes:
A potato that will weigh quarter
of pound is about 2 inches in diameter
and is of the smallest size allowable in
sorting for market. When potatoes of
this size are used for cooking, there is
far more waste than with larger ones.
and the quality is no better than that of
two pound potatoes of the same variety.
The model potato is kidney shaped, has
few eyes and those nearly even with the
surrounding surface, and il weighs
three quarters of a pound. Such Pc
tato is saleable, but for use in farmer S
family there is not the least objection
to those that weigh two pounds if Of a
variety not liable to be hollow
A third correspondent says: How
shall potatoes be judged at the fairs?
This is a hard question to answer, net
knowing who will be the judge. If he
be a man who knows what potato is
for, he will give first place to medium
size always A good, fair sized potato
will sell best in market, and any cook
will say that she doesn { want these big
potatoes. When l judge at fairs, give
the preference 20 those of fair size and
most perfect shape. / was taken to task

KITCHEN AND HOUSE Stops.
Disposal by Barrel and Cart or House
Drain snc Cesspool.

One Of the chief problems of the aver
age village CT suburban resident is the
disposal Of the ordinary kitchen and
house slops. The primitive method is to
simply throw them ont and let them go
where they may. The result is damp,
disease breeding spot located under the
very noses Of the family, to generate the
germs Of typhoid fever, malaria, flies
and host Of the other ills Of the suburb
an resident. In most cases nature does
all it can to counteract the sins of man
kind, and these .slop holes" are usually
partially concealed and covered up with
growth Of rank weeds, useless and I'M
slightly except as they may absorb the
disease germs or hide the mud and
filthy debris Of the slops. Such condi-
ton Of Things is simply intolerable and
should be forbidden by law
The most common system of dispos-
ing Of Stops is by an ordinary tile drain
running from the house sink to a supken
barrel or bottomleSs cistern of brick or
stone-a cesspoeL This system removes
the filth from the surface and hides it
from the sight and fer time at least
from the smell. Instead Of scattering
the wastes TO the four winds Of heaven
1t concentrates 1t in hole to ferment
and rot. The rcsalt is the deadly sewer
gas and intalcrable stenches The cess
pool and drain are only tolerable when
they are thoroughly drained and trapped

An Effective Line.

course of his address to the court
fourished about his hand in such a
manner as to show off a magnificent
diamond ring He was young, good
looking and was pleading for lady
of quality who demanded a 5, para
ton from her husband. The hus-
band, who happened to be present,
interrupted him in the middle of q
period and turning TO the judges ex-
claimed Electrically, "My lords, you
will appreciate the zeal which Mr.
Y is displaying against me and
the sincerity of his argument when
informed that the diamond ring
he wears is the very one that !

day of that union he is so anxious
to DISCOVER The court was struck
with establishment and rose immed

trophe, the husbands insinuation

III the field trial OF spraying machines
under the direction Of the Cornell sta
ton, two classes of Horsepower ma
chimes were entered-grayity machines,
or those that simply dripped out the
water by its own weight, and those
that carried pump to force the water
out. All the gravity machines failed to
throw out the bordeaux mixture. They
quickly clqgged ard became useless.
While these machines will handle paris
green in water fairly we'll, they are not
serviceable with bordeaux mixture, for
the lime will surely clog them unless
some force is employed to push the mix
ture out The machines with pump at
taehment did better The most effective
sprayer was a homemade affair thus
described by Rural New Yorker:
Last among the mounted sprayers
came rude, wild woodsy affair which
contrasted strongly with its painted
and polished namesake 1t consisted of
the frame and wheels of an old grain
drill, shortened to fit three feet potato
rows. On it were nailed some rough
boards In these was placed a kerosene
barrel with force pump and hose. To
the latter was attached with proper coup
lings piece of gas pipe, resting on
the rear Of the machine, nine feet in
length and fitted with four Vermorel
nozzles. The thills were stout hickory
poles, dashed on with wire. The oper-
ator went down the rows driving the
one horse, pumping and occasionally
stirring the mixture with paddle. All
the other machines had stopped for adj
justment, or because they could not get
ON with the spraying. Why would not
this rude affair? But ON went the Zone
horse shay, where one part was as per-
feet as another, without step, save at
the ends Of the rows and covering "a
rows with the mixture.
The Knapsack sprayers, with pumps,
did good work, and SO did the powder
guns. The success Of this homemade
sprayer ought to show farmers how a
little display Of mechanical skill may
save money for them.

Points In Celery Culture.

1t swell known that the celery plant
delights in rich add moist soil, and
those who have the opportunity to use
liquid manure in the cultivation Of this
plant have a great advantage over 9TH
ers. In addition to this, some cultivat-
ors who grow the celery for market are
introducing water artificially, and find
it to be a profitable practice. In this
connection Meehans Monthly cites a
grower in Allegheny City, Pa, who has
supply pipe from one of the city water
mains so arranged that at the end
where the flow commences guano or
some other artificial fertilizer can be
placed in the water pipes. He can get
double the crop from the same ground
as by the ordinary methods, and stalks
that bring a much higher price in mar

Commercial Fertilizers.

The difference between the CONNER
cial valuation and the cost of the fer
tilizer goes to cover grinding and mix
ing, interest on Investment, freight,

bills, etc, and finally profits. Itremains
for the individual farmer To decide
whether he will pay the difference or
buy his chemicals and mix his own
fertilizers. The cost of mixing, as esti-
mated by Rhode Island farmers who
have tried it, varies from 81 to ST. 80

The Electric Weed Killer.

Advantage has been taken of the cleo
trio current TO destroy wc6ds that grow
by railroad tracks A mild current of
electricity acts as stimulant to such
plants, but current strong enough to
disintegrate the tissues will kill them.
To accomplish this in large way car
is provided with an engine, AN alternat-
ing dynamo and an induction coil. One
terminal of this induction coil is con-
nected to the earth through the car
trucks A we'll insulated cable leads
from the other terminal to a metallic
strip behind the car, which stretches
across the track short distance above
the ground and is provided with many
fine wires pendent from it, like the
teeth of a rake Through these teeth the
electric discharge takes place, and any
weed touched receives deadly current
through it. AS the car is pulled along
the track every weed is at once killed,
and with such an apparatus many
miles Of railway may be quickly and
cheaply freed from weeds.
A writer in The Cosmopolitan, who
described the foregoing, says that a sim
liar plan is feasible for Kidding cult
waited fields from such troublesome
pests as thistles, daisies, chicory or any
other whose stems at any time reach
above the grass around them. A two
wheeled vehicle like a horse rake, carry
ing a suitable secondary battery, me-
chanical current alternator and proper
induction coil. could be driven across a
field and kill every plant its teeth
should touch

Maud Muller on summer night

Maud Muller on a summer night
went out on her bike in the broad
moonlight. She pedaled along from
six to ten on trip that would flag
the strongest men, but her heart was
light and her spirits gay, for it
wasn't work, twas nothing but play.
Next morning, however, she'd pain
in her head, she was all played out
and stayed in bed, while her mother
hustled in the kitchen below-not to
ride wheel, but to make things go.
Though the morning was hct and
she worked by the fire she didn't
collapse with a punctured tire. Alas
for the girl and the woman, see
Things are not what they used to be.
