How q Tree Grows.

If you wish to become thoroughly &C.
quainted with the trees mode of growth
the first thing Of importance is to keep
in view the function of the "camb ian
layer''-the soft, spongy substance lying
between che wood proper and the bark,
says the St. Louis Republic. The pulpy
porous substance is really a tissue of
minute cells, visible only under the
miscroscope, and apparently of the same
size and shape in any given variety of
tree. The cells lying nearest the bark
contribute permanent accretion to the
trees covering, while those which lie
nearest the wood slowly change from
"cambian layer" to real tree fibre. In
this way the bark becomes thicker each
year, and at the same time the tree it.
self is permanently enlarged.
In the spring and early summer the
bark on all the trees is, to certain ex-
tent, loosened to permit of the cambian
layer exercising it's functions, and when
this wholly ceases the result is manifest
in the ''ring" of new wood and the thin
layer of newly formed inner bark. The
ends of each limb have also grown per
ceptiEly-from two inches to two feet,
according to the speoies-but knots,
marks, forks, etc., on tree trunks are 40
higher from the ground than they were
the year before. If some one tells you
that limb which is now but three or
four feet from the ground "will be high
enought to walk under when the tree
gsts its growth" put him or her down
as person knowing but little about the
natural history of trees.

saving. / have been preaching such
economy for twenty years and have only
succeeded in advancing the wonderful
utility of cowpeas as hay, grain and
renovating crop. trust l am not ask
ing too much of you. The information
sought would be very valuable to many
of us.-A. j., Greenville, N. @.
Answer. Your queries are in the line
where most farmers need information.
There are men who haul wood to this
city at 80 to $3.50 per cord, and buy
timothy hay at 500 per ton to feed their
teams. Corn stalks are left to fall down
in the field by them and their neighbors.
1t is fairly capable of demonstration
that the wasted stalks, If fed with a
meal ration, can replace the hay at
lower cost for the ration than hay, corn
and oats as fed. You asked for COM
mercial value when it seems compare
tive feeding value is what is desired.
Commercially, timothy hay outranks
all others. That is the kind to raise to
sell, but to feed at home would be q
different question. When the climate
would suit, earlier grasses would be
used and some others would be grown
with timothy. There is a tendency to
calculate food into heat equivalents.
That is, food is burned in the animal
body and produces it's effect in heat and
nerve forces, which may, or not, be
form Of expression for heat. The
digestible portions of foods are reduced
to heat equivalents by adding to the
sum of digestible "protein" and "car-
bohydrate" 227 times the digestible fat.
This will give fair comparison of timo-
thy hay with the other articles named
above and included in the following
table:
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-03-11

1t is perhaps the nearest comparative
of actual feeding value, though it is
manifestly unfair commercially since 1t
makes no account of the greater cost of
protein as compared with carbohydrates.
The heat values are considered equal.
Cons iderable matter relating to the sub
ject OF the above queries will be found
in our digestion bulletins, and some of
the data contained in the table could
not be given but for those experiments.
AS it is, several foods are calculated on
an assumed digestibility. These are
Bermuda hay, taken from Bulletin 70 of
this station. Grab grass hay, the COM
position of which was determined at the
Tennessee Experiment Station, and the
digestib1lity assumed as for hay of an
nual grasses in Bulletin 70. Pea hulls
are here assumed to be equal to "bean
hulls.'' All the other articles have been
subjected to digestion in American ex.
periments.
The relative value Of the mixture is
given at the bottom of the table above.
1t compares favorably with timothy
hay, There has been a column added to
the table on the right showing the value
of 100 pounds of each of the articles at
the German valuation of four and one
half cents per pound for digestible "pro-
tein" and "fat," and 90 cents for d.
gestible carbohydrate, which includes
both digestible fiber and nitrogen free
extract.

Re making a Vineyard.

An Orlando correspondent of the Citi-
zen says chat for some time the grape
industry of this section has been allowed
to lag. The affairs of the Niagara Com
pany, owner of the largest vineyards,
was in a tangled condition, and the
property was permitted to 60 into state
of semi-decline, as nobody felt disposed
to spend any money on 1t until the title
should be cleared up. The result was
that the fruit raised could hardly be
classed as No. l, and prices for it were
not at all satisfactory. This condition
of the leading vineyard led owners of
smaller ones to feel that something was
wrong with the industry, and they have
grown Indifferent concerning their own
vines, and grape growing has seriously
fallen off. Recently the title to the
Niagara Company property has been
cleared up, and the estate has gone into
the hands Of a gentleman who is large
vineyardist in New York. He has taken
hold with vim which promises to re-
store interest In grape growing in Orange
county. Upon acquiring the title of the
properly, ne sent down an experienced
grape grower to superintend the work,
together with foreman and such tools
and implements as were necessary. Fiji.
teen to twenty men are employed trim
ming, pruning and tying vines, blowing
ground and putting everything in the
best possible condition, and good reasons
appear for believing that this large vine
yard will become more remunerative
than ever before. The present owner is
one of the original Niagara Grape Com
pany, of Western New York, where the
Niagara has become famous. He has
been connected with this property from
the time the vineyard was planted, and
has been here frequently watching the
growth of vines and the fruitage. His
long experience in the bushes and his
opportunities for observation here have
satisfied him that under proper manage.
ment the Niagara will do as well here as
anywhere in the United States.

Kafir Corn and Sorghum.

A00A WILL UAA SVA SsA~A'
In the Breeders Gazette of last week
Mr.. G.. W. Simpson has an interesting
talk on Texas, in which he predicts
fine results to the state from the feeding
of stock on Kafir corn and sorghum.
These two stock foods grow to perfection
in West Texas and assure fine feeding
ground for cattle and hogs. Mr.. Simp-
son considered hogs rattened on Kafir
corn as being extra good.
In the Wichita Falls Warrior of the
18th, Mr.. E. D. East has talk on this
subject, based on actual experience.
Mr.. East preserves his sorghum on the
plan discovered some years ago at Bee
Vile, Tex, by Mr.. Hiedenfeldt. The
corn is cut and Kicked green. In this
way it will preserve in the form of silage.
Mr.. East is well pleased with the results
of feeding this silage along with crushed
kaffir corn and will plant 1900 acres to
kaffir corn and sorghum in 1896. His
sorghum made fifteen tons to the acre.
The Wichita Warrior, in commenting
on the fine results obtained by stockfarm-
ing on Mr.. East's plan, predicts grand
things for the Wichita country. We
see nothing to prevent all that is pre-
dlcted. The making of fifteen tons of
sorghum silage per acre is quite reason
able, and tie labor for raising, cutting
and ricking the sorghum while 1t Is
green is not expensive. Kafia corn also
is coming to the front as one of the
very best of stock foods. Now while fat
cattle and fat hogs are desirable and
bristle with industrial prospects, it
must not be forgotten that these very
same foods are the thing for the mich
COWS. Dairying it seems, could be made
very profitable up there, and in that in
dustry can be found wonderful posi- bill
ties. In one county in Michigan the
dairy farmers have 100000 deposited
in the banks. Texas has sent no little
money away for butter, cheese and other
such products. Several condi lions sug-
gest West Texas as the future dairying
point of the South, The air is pure,
cattle are healthy and the food supply is
most desirable.

Hay Growing in the South.

sold is seemingly very high to people
from the North, but freight, commits
sion, insurance and shrinkage must be
taken into consideration, so that S22 per
ton may not be high in the Jacksonville,
FLA market says the Industrial Ameri-
can.
The Southern planters have neglected
everything in their effort to produce
more cotton, and when asked regarding
their method of culture and the greatest
difficulties they have to overcome, it will
be discovered that destroying hay in
stead of cultivating it has been one of
their most laborious tasks. Out of 200
planters in the Southern states we will
not miss it far when we state that 900 Of
them will say, "Grass is our greatest foe;
we fight it all spring and summer, and
still we could cut good crop of hay in
the fall if we wanted to do so.
There is no branch of agriculture that
offers greater inducements than that of
hay-making in the South. Good markets
are found in all the cities and towns,
and the seasons are such that from one
to three heavy crops can be taken off the
land each year. But these advantages
have been overlooked, and planters with
hay to sell are not often found.
In our extensive acquaintance all over
the South we know of only one man who
sells hay each year. His name is G.. W.
Danley, of Chipley, Fla, which, by the
way, is located In one of the best all
around stock and far ming sections of the
South. This question of hay is so i'm
portant that we reproduce query to the
North Carolina Experiment Station,
with the answer of F. E. Emery, agri-
culturlst of the station.
Every planter in the South who gets a
copy of Mr.. Emery's reply should give it
close study and hang it up for future
reference. 1t shows that the mixture
put up by "a. j." is far superior to tim
othy hay, which is the highest hay in
the market.
The hay crop should bring millions of
dollars annually into the South, and as
every stock owner in the South we'll
knows, it will keep millions of dollars at
home which now 60 to enrich other Sec
tions. Give hay crop fair trial and
the results will cause further efforts to
be made in this important direction.
The query and answer referred to are as
follows:
l am packing in alternate layers in
bales of $50 pounds the following: Pea
vine hay, 100 pounds; corn shucks, 100
pounds; peanut vines, 100 pounds; pea
hulls, so pounds; crab grass hay, 100
pounds. 1t makes a capital combina-
ton for my horses and mich COWS.
Please give me the commercial value
per hundred weight of this combination
with timothy hay selling at Sl.1O per
hundred weight. All the ingredients are
in prime condition. All were cut in sea-
son, air cured and retain foliage. Dc
you approve of this mixture?
Discussing the relative merits of hay
with merchant, who is also planter
and owner, he very much doubted my
assertion that crab grass hay ranked
higher than timothy in nutriment, and
that peavine hay, cut at the proper time

that the plans of that company relative to
the use of electricity are being steadily de-
veloped. Improvements are being made in
it's large power house at Baltimore and
important extensions to the service are be-
ing made. In about thirty days the pas

be hauled through the Belt tunnel by cleo
tricity. The extension now in progress of

be finished in that time. Another extern
sion at the north end of the tunnel will en-
able the electric locomotive to haul trains
to the vicinity of St. Paul street extended.
This will dispense with the use of a helping
engine. At present two steam locomotives
are used to haul trains, owing to the grade.
and complaint is made by residents in the
northern section of the smoke. In about
two months this trouble will be abated.
An Improvement is being made at the pow
er station in the installation of a large
coal-hauling plant. The plans provide for
dumping the coal from cars into hopper
outside of the building and underneath the
railroad tracks. From this hopper the coal
is to be passed through a. crusher and car
ried by means of buckets travelling on an
endless chain to a large storage bin. Pipes
lead from this bin to the doors of the fur
naces, and the coal will require no manual
handling from the time it leaves the mine
until it is shoveled into the fires under the
boilers. The Z. & O.'s complement Of cleo
trio locomotives is to be increased by the
addition of infant prodigy. contract

Company, which built the big locomotives.
for a small electric locomotive. This is to
be used in switching freight cars on
