INADEQUATE WATER SUPPLY.
Aldermen Notify Water Company of
Failure to Garry Out Contract.

Failure to Garry out Contract
At an adjourned meeting of the Board
of Aldermen of the town of Durham,
held August 18th, the following resolu-
ton was introduced and on motion was
adopted:
WHEREAS, on the occasion of the fire
on the morning of the 1st day of Au-
gust, 1895, it became clearly apparent
that the water system, as controlled and
conducted by the Durham Water Com
pany does not furnish an adequate sup
Div of water as required by the contract
made between the town and A. H. How
land on June 18th, 1886, and thereafter
assigned to the said Durham Water Com
pany; and whereas frequent tests re-
Gently made have shown that said the
Durham Water Company is not furnish
ing an adequate supply of water as re-
quired by said contract,
''Be it resolved by the Board of Alder
men that the said Durham Water Com
pany is not complying with the provis-
ions STIMULATING and requirements OF said
contract of June 18th, 1886, as set forth
in Sections and thereof, with refer
ence to furnishing sufficient supply of
water for general use, and for the ex-
tinguishing of fires.
''Resolved further, that the Clerk be
instructed to furnish said the Durham
Water Company copy of the resolu
ton"
The question of additional equipments
for the fire department was left open for
the present, as it was deemed important
to get the matter of water pressure
remedied first,

Stirred MP the Kickers,

The selection of the site on Ramsey
street on which it is proposed 20 erect "a
school building for the colored Graded
school has stirred up a considerable
amount of kicking upon the part OF the
people who live in that immediate yicin-
ity. They talk pretty sharply about it
and the indications are that the com
mittee who made the selection will have
to submit to q good deal Of "cussing. "
The ground has been bought and paid
for consequently it ia probably too late
for kicking to amount to much. Never
theless there is kicking and very vigorous
kicking at that.

LAST DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 9.-The jury's
verdict in the famous Hayward case
was reached in less than three hours,
quick work considering the length OF
time occupied in presenting the cyl
dence and making the arguments. Only
two ballots were necessary, the first
stood eleven for conviction and one ffr
acquittal and the second was unanit
nous for verdict of guilty. The case
has been on trial since Jan. II, and has
aroused intense interest throughout the
country. This interest in Minneapolis
has been something wonderful. It has,
in face, been the only topic since the
trial began. The verdict is eminently
satisfactory to the public in general and
especially SO to the crowd that has hung
about the outside of the courtroom
That this is SO is apparent from the ex-
pressions that have been voiced from
time to time, ending in the demonstra-
ton made when Hayward was led back
to the Jail after the verdict.

Plant Cane.

A DeLand correspondent of the Times
Union advises the planting of cane and
writes:
Raise cane this year, if never before.
With corn, cane, rice and sweet potatoes,
we will renew our hold on this life. and
have a better hope of the life to come,
from having faithfully done our part for
those dependent on us.
For cane, new, moist land; hammock
is best, but if you have not the hammock
land, use the best you have, and make
it rich with compost and cottonseed
meal, in the furrow opened to receive
the seed-cane. Plant four feet apart,
the furrow to be opened with turn
pillow about six inches deep. Use ton
of C, ttonseed meal to the acre, or half
ton of Mapes' Orange Tree or Simon
Pure Garden fertilizer. per acre
Plant as soon in April as convenient
Plant close, the cane stalks in double
row, so that the crop will be thick. 1t
does better thick than thin, besides
yielding much more.
Plant both varieties, the ribbon and
the soft cane if you can get the seed
cane. Cut the cane with saw, to avoid
rupturing and wasting the cane. Cut to
two joints to a piece. Cover with a
turning pillow, running two burrows.
Work the crop often with cultivator
or pillow and hoe till the rainy season. A

huller. If there is no huller convenient
you should not let this hinder you from
planting, as you can very easily beat it
out with a mortar and pestle. Some
people here within convenient reach of
a huller, prefer to beat theirs out in this
way.
For the benefit of those who live in
the hill country, would suggest that
for the first year they plant patch both
in lowland and upland, as all of our
country here is on level, and do not
know in which it would be best.
If any one who has had more exper-
fence than will be SO kind as to let US
know more of the matter, or will correct
any mistake may have made, will ap.
preciate it very much.
For those who wish to try this, Twill
say that peck or half bushel of seed
will be sufficient to plant for a very large
family.

pounds of phosphoric acid and 263.62
pounds of potash, so that allowing moth
ing for increase in wood and foliage, and
supposing the trees capable Of unlocking
and appropriating every atom of potash
locked up by the clay, iron, humus and
silica of the soil, the supply would last
about one and one-fourth years. Limb
blight in such case would be but an
other name for potash starvation.

Potash Starvation.

The San BernardiDo Review says:
When this section first came into notice as
a it-growing country the orchardists
seemed to think and teach that the soil
here was of such fertility that it would
never wear out, and some of the older
fruit trees that have been brought up
under that regime are almost past bear
ing. The first to fertilize we're laughed
at by their neighbors, but in time all
had to acknowledge that fruit land
would wear out Then comes the sci
entifc expert to decide In what ingredi-
ent the soil needs recuperating and the
fertilizers are graded accordingly. A
letter In Florida exchange gives some
interesting figures on this score that we
reproduce for the benefit of our fruit
growers. 1t says:
The almost universal experience of
continued one-sided organic nitrogen
fertilization is diseased and insect-in-
festeo trees, with diminishing quantities
of almost unstable fruit. Soil analysis
figures are calculated to represent the
number of pounds Of each ingredient in
1000, 600 pounds of earth, and with T.,
900, 900 pounds to foot depth per acre
we have 1923 pounds of potash, $3.50
pounds of phosphoric acid and about
600 pounds of nitrogen. A crop of 1OO,-
600 oranges per acre, of the average size
of those analysed, at seventy five pounds
per box, would yield $40 boxes, not
unusual crop on large trees, and these
oranges would remove from the top foot
of soil to be transported away from the
grove 40 Sc pounds of ammonia, Al. Sc

three inches apart, and then later a
larger distance, say not less than five
inches, if we can possibly spare the
room. Thus they are left to grow, and
by the time that they can 60 into the
open ground, they will be in bloom, and
perhaps with fruit already set.
In the final transfer to open ground,
large chunks of soil are removed with
the plant, and great care is taken to dis
turb the roots as little as possible. Many
growers give to their plants in green
house or hotbed far more heat than there
is any need of, or than is good for the
healthy growth of the plant. This mis-
take is quite common. A temperature
of As to so degrees at night and 90 to ~
degrees during the day is far better than
60 degrees and 80 degrees respectively,
and if the mercury drops to 40 degrees
at night occasionally or even few de-
grees lower in some instances, the plants,
will grow all the more stocky and hardy.

as early AS we can have them by skillful
management. Late tomatoes may be
a fairly paying crop for the farmer who
raises them for canning factories by the
acre. They are not profitable any more
for the market gardener. The money
for the latter, and the satisfaction OF the
amateur, is in the ripe fruit he can Sc
cure before the rush No time should
be lost in starting the plants, and 1T Will

and less valuable king of the earles,
earliest advance, and others of that class
TO give ripe specimens in 100 or 125 days
from sowing the seed.
Starting seedlings is not dlfhcult
task. All you want is good SEED Oeo
and little warmth. A box filed with
nice fibrous and not excessively rlch
earth in the hot bed or green house will
do we'll enough. Firm the soil we'll over
the seed. One mistake, which frequently
leads to failure, is neglecting to nave
the soil in the bottom of the box we'll
moistened before the start When the
soil has once become dry, and in this
condition is made fine and packed into
box, the soil particles seem to reJect
water almost the same as oil does, ana
water applications from the top may
make the upper inch or two sloppy While
the lower layers remain dry. Be sure
that the latter receive good soaking al
the start, and they will furnish all the
moisture needed for the termination OF
the seeds, even with little additional
help from over head watering. The u.s.
of the water bench" into which tn
plants are set to be watered from tn
bottom up, prevents this difficulty.
