Florida for Chewing Tobacco.

A Tallahassee correspondent of the
Times Union says: A gentleman who
has been growing chewing tobacco, In
Virginia, started out to look for a better
soil for the weed. He looked at the
North Carolina tobacc GO lands, and found
them little better than Virginia. But
he decided to 90 further South, and he
visited South Florida, but not being
suited with what he saw, he returned to
Jacksonville. At that place he was told
to try Leon county. He came. A
gentleman drove him out to see bis land.
He found it to be what he wanted, he
made bargain on the spot for the land,
and is now preparing to put in atwenty-
acre crop. This Virginian says chewing
tobacco can be grown cheaper, is less
trouble to handle and cure than smOk-
ing tobacco, and that as soon as the
chewing tobacco is put into Exits, " it is
as marketable a product as cotton; while
the grower who has cigar tobacco has to
hold it until a buyer comes for it.

the most exposed situation, where they
will remain after sulphuring, replacing
the sulphur-house with one of wire net

the bees and other insects away With
us the fruit will not mould, and, al
though taking quite time to dry, we
do not expose the fruit to the direct rays
of the sun. In other localities it may
be better to do so, although l think the
fruit would not give quite SO bright
product in color.

Drying Pears.

w, G. Fuller writes in the San Bernar-
dino Times Index about the drying of
pears as follows: Next year shall use
a style of sulphur-houSe after pattern
now used by some of our enterprlSing
dryers, consisting of light framework
of wood covered with single or double
width cotton cloth, lined with good wall
paper, and OF such height as to cover
one or two stacks of trays and the truck

cutting table. This movable house can

For number of years past the station
has been making observations on plants
suitable to this climate, that should
combine the needful qualities for green
manuring in place of clover. This is of
especial interest in the case of orchards,
in which it has often been noted that
after having been kept completely free
from weeds for numb Der of years, their
production decreases in a marked degree
despite of fertilization, while at the
same time the soil is difficult to keep in
good, loose filth.
At first it was hoped that among the
native covers and lupins some might be
found suitable for the purpose, but thus
far the burr clover-a foreign immigrant
has seemed to answer better than any
of these, an objection being however
that it yields but a relatively small
amountof heritage, and is apt to remain
troublesome weed.
This season in examining number of
the foreign legu1nes grown In the Uni
versily Economic Garden, two were
found whose roots are fairly incrusted
with tubercles, implying a very rapid
absorption of nitrogen through the air.
One of these has been SO far investigat ted
as to render it hopeful subject for trial
on the large scale, and AL available seed
has been sown in order TO produce a
supply for distribution next winter. Ex-
detrimental plots have also been sown a t
each Of the four culture sub station so
as to test the plant in their several soils
and elm ates, this season
So far as the Sma | scale test shows,
this plant combines the advantage of
quick development (bning an ANNUALLY
with IN unusually heavy production of
heritage; this having in two different
plots been at the rate of twenty-four and
twenty-six tons per acre, equal to about
five tons Of air-dry hay. While it's nj
trogen per entage is not IS high as that
of alfalfa or clover, it's aggregate nitro
gen product won d nevertheless be con-
siderably gre tter than in the case of al
falfa, and more than twice as great as
with burr clover.

A Paying Crop.

A Paying crop.
Beans are generally considered by
many as very paying crop, by reason
of the exceedingly short time in which
the crop natures; and few hints as to
their culture will not be out Of place at
such time. In preparing the ground
for this crop, do not turn under any grass
or trash that will not rot quickly, and it
would be best with ground that is at
all grassy to scalp the grass off and haul
it away, unless it can be given sufficient
time to rot if plowed Under at once.
After blowing, harrow thoroughly; an
Acme" harrow is what [ used, and get
the ground as level and as free from
trash as possible. When ready to plant
run bull-tongue pillow on ZACH side of
the ow where the beans art to be planted,
and scatter cotton SEED meal in the fur
rows at the rate of 400 pounds to the
acre, turn another furroA over the ferti-
liZer and plant The beans right between
The two rows, which should not be more
than nine inches apart. | mention COT
ton seed meal because have seen it used
as l have described with very good re-
suits, though have no doubt that other
fertilizers would do as well or better
The seed should not be planted more
than two inches deep and about Two in
cheS apart in the rows and having the
rows three feet apart if allowing for
horse cultivation aud two feet if all the
work is done by hand. The seed should
be planted at once, and the Refugee
Snap is as good as any, though some pre-
fer the Valentine, which is a good all
round variety.
When the beans come up give them a
shallow hOeing and cultivate between
the rows with a one-horSe Planet Jr.
cultivator. Two or three such workings
will be all that's necessary if the ground
is fairly moist, but If a drouth prevail,
it will be found that a constant working
will prove greatly beneficial to the crop.
Always remember one thing, never
work beans when the dew or rain is on
them, as 1t will produce mildew and en-
danger the crop and they should not
even be picked when they are at all
damp. Pick them when they begin to
swell out little and pack them In oc-
tagon crates, having first lined them
with brown paper, which gives a heater
appearance to the package and also keeps
the beans from working out.
The octagon crate holds about rs
quarts. Beans can generally be picked
about three or more times, according vs.
to how the weather is at the time of
picking, the second usually being the
largest pick. The yield per acre is any
where from rs TO 125 crates.---C. S. in

heterogeneous Fertilizers and Soil Nitrogen

following exhaustive paper on subject
which concerns all cultivators of the soil:
1t has been we'll said that at this
time the king problem of agricultural
chemistry is the cheap conversion of the
nitrogen gas which constitutes four
f1fths of our atmosphere, into form
available for the fertilization of land.
For, abundant as this substance is in
nature, it's restoration to soils exhausted
by cropping is as yet the most expensive
return which the farmer has to make.
The supplies of the other two chief in
gradients of fertilizers and phOS-
phoriC acid-are relatively abundant and
on the increase; but as yet we know Of no
source of nitrogen that promises to
reduce materially it's cost to the farmer,
which is now over three times that of
either Of the two others per pound. The
prospect that within short time the
entire nitrate deposits of Chilli will be in
the hands of syndicate which can ex
act sail the traffic will bear" for Chill
salt-peter, renders the question of nitro
gen supply to soils doubly interesting to
the farmer at this time. Frequent ques
tons addressed to the Experiment Sta
ton on these points render it desirable
that the results of some work lately done
in this line should be briefly noticed, in
advance of publication in the Station
report, soon to 60 to press.
1t has been known for some time that
while the larger number Of our Guilt
waited plants, and among them particu-
larry the grains, must derive all the
nitrogen they need from the small store
in the soil (where it is contained in the
"humus" or black mold), there is one
group of plants which not only do not
impoverish the soil in nitrogen, but on
the contrary, if fused for green manuring,
add materially to it's store, ST. as to re-
plenish the supply when required for
grain culture. It is the group of plants
comprised within the pea family (Le-
guminous plants, or 'legumes'O en-

and related trees. Hence, the clOvers
have from time immemOrial been used
for land improvement; while where the
climate is unfavorable to these, other
plants of the same family have been sub
stituted for them. In this State, where
alfalfa is the general substitute for clo-
yer, the difficulty of blowing in we'll
set alfalfa crop, and getting rid of it
when a clean field is wanted for other
crops, has stood in the way of this need
full means of supplying the land not only
with nitrogen but also with humus, so
necessary as a general soil ingredient
and so commonly efficient in the lighter
class of California soils used preferably
for fruit culture. The growing of green
crops not of the legumlnous tribe, merely
for the sake of supplying humus and
returning only what was taken from the
soil, has usually proved an Improbable
investment
Until within few years the cause of
the peculiar ability Of the legumes to
take nitrogen from the air during their
growth was not understood. 1t is now
known that it is accomplished through
the agency of one of the many minute
