Wednesday of last week was day
long to be remembered by the people OF
Lone Rock About o'clock in the af-
ternooD fire broke out in the rear Of the
large hotel. having originated by the
old. old story Of little children and
matches. Everything was as dry az
powder and within minute the entire
building was a seething mass Of roaring
flames. More men han usual happened
TO be IN town ut that time and by work
ing harder than they ever did in their
lives they succeeded in saving the great
er portion Of the town. The flames
quickly spread across the street TO the
large store building Of r. q. Robinson,
which was occupied by DR.. Hanlock
with stock Of drugs. For awhile it
looked like the whole town was doomed
TO destruction. The hellish flames next
licked up Sprowles' blacksmith shop,
the Sias Brown stable, the Joe Parenta
blacksmith shop owned by 0tho Ward,
and several sheds and some fencing

saving the north end Of town, including

Office and Darling building, and by do-
ing so the balance Of the town was saved.

order to do any good he was forced to
stand almost in the flames, and was able

There was no insurance on any OF the
burned property, and the loss fails heav-

by the grower to the Fragaria society.
He closes his report with the recon-
mendation of corn meal as the most
wonderful and profitable fertilizer tor
Strawberries, and to remove all doubt of
| this agent he states that his neighbor
Flint, Immediately radjoining had a
strawberry field which received no corn
meal and consequently did not produce
half crop.
While harvesting this wonderful crop
our friend Gates received numerous
Gals, among whom was old Farmer Snod-
grass who has poor opinion of such
small things as strawberries and straw
berry growers. Still this splendid show
arrested even his attention, and he came
into the lot determined to get at the
bottom secret of success. He pumped
Mr.. Gates till he got at the fact of the
blowing under the plaster-treated clover
crop. A sudden smile lighted up his
heavy features, a peculiar light shone
| in his eye, and with half-uttered "corn
meal, UGH" he disappeared.
The next week the following appeared
in the Weekly Plowjogger:
Dear Plowjogger-I ,have just seen a
wonderful instance Of the value of clover
as renovator of exhausted Soils Friend
Gates turned under heavy crop of
clover grown by using plaster. Last
year he grew an enormous crop of cab
bage, and this year he planted it to
strawberries.
The result is the finest crop l ever
saw and the acre will bring him at
least $4,000. To show that all this
grand crop is to be attributed to the
clover, will state that just over the
fence on precisely similar land, Mr..
Flint planted strawberries without
clovering and the whole crop will not
pay ground rent. Gould anything be
more conclusive?
Respectfully yours,
J. SNODGRAss.

rying ''grip" also saw the show and
accosted Mr.. Gates with all the bland
ness and grace of fertilizer agent. He
congratulated him on his fine crop and
when the tact came out that the pre-
ceding crop had received ton of Prof.
Rawbone's superphosphate, his youthful
face actually glowed with satisfaction
and he said "good day" in exuberan,
spirits. He Immediately repaired to
his hotel and wrote: Dear Prof. Raw
bone: have just seen the most mag
niflcent crop of strawberries ever grown.
1t will net the owner over $4,000 per
acre, and am proud to say his success
may be attrib uted to the use of your
superphosphate on the preceding crop.
This result is all the more noticeable be

right when he said Nothing for general
use is equal to stable manure"
About this time one of those Kali men
who think potash is the panacea for all
horticultural ills, saw this place and
published the fact that liberal use of
potash had restored a dying orchard to
health and strength, and warned all peo-
pie of the great danger of using any sort
of animal manure as tending to make a
soft, diseased and unproductive growth.
Moral-use mineral manure and have
healthy trees and solid fruit.
An amateur strawberry grower of an
experimental turn of mind was told that
corn meal was a most desirable fertilizer
for strawberries, so he decided to try the
experiment to definitely determine the
value Of corn meal as specific manure
for the straw berry.
For this purpose he selected a piece of
deep sandy loan which had been in
cabbage the year before, for which crop
it had been fitted by turning under
| heavy crop of clover which has been
treated to a heavy coat of plaster. In
addition to this it had been heavily
dress with we'll rotted barnyard manure
and one ton per acre OF Prof. Rawbone's
ammoniated phosphate. These fertilizers
were of course, completely exhausted by
the cabbage, which is a gross feeder.
He carefully plowed this piece of ex-
hausted land, using no fertilizer what
ever. He raked it fine and planted it to
Triomph de Gand. After the planting
he took a quantity of corn meal and
after carefully sitting it to remove all
eXtraneous substances he put teaspoon.
full around each hill and raked it in with
a fine tooth comb. You will notice what
great care was taken to make this ex-
pertinent decisive.
The plot was kept scrupulously titled
and all runners clipped as fast as they
appeared. The corn meal caused
most luxuriant growth.
On the approach of bloom the ground
was covered with finely cut wild hay
between the rows. In due time blossoms
appeared and fruit followed. and such
fruit the oldest inhabitant had never
seen. The quantity was imm ense, the
size enormous and the quality and beauty
simply superb. Some sold at 81 per
quart and the average price for the
whole crop was sixty-four cents per
quart.
Then came Mr.. Gasport, who is chair
man of the committee of the State Hortl-
cultural Society to prepare list of fruits
for general cultivation in the 18th
district. He was struck with wonder
at the sight. He examined the planta-
ton, tasted the fruit and innocently
asked Mr.. Gates the name Of the variety.
He was told it was the Triomph de Gand.
What variety is that on your neigh
boris plat over the fence? Wilson's
Albany.
AS result Of this visit the committee
reported to the State Horticultural
Society that in the 18th district the
Triomph de Gand is remarkable for size,
quality, beauty and productiveness and
will yield over 1000 per acre, while
Wilson's Albany will not pay for cul.

and applied it to his grove where all his
oranges lad been rusty. Presto! All
his oranges the next year were bright,
and the lime did it, lie knew lime
would make oranges bright for he had
tried the experiment and proved it. But
said he softly in my ear, my neighbor
had Just as rusty oranges as l did last
year and this year they are just as
bright as mine and he used no lime.
The sulphur humbug is another
variety of this bug, of more recent intro
duction, that has made as expensive
incession into many sections. Sulphur
would surely make oranges bright. One
of my neighbors knew it would because
he had used it heavily and his fruit was
all bright and he preached the virtues
of sulphur Another neighbor used
sulphur and his crop was the BLACKLIST
meanest, hardest, smallest, toughest,
dryest, most insipid things I ever saw,
and all fell to the ground before ready
oranges could be found in that whole
grove. Another neighbor applied no
sulphur and the crop was fine, smooth
AMI not box of russets in a thousand.
This mania for experim enting is not
new. We read in ancient lore of the
student who had heard that a crow
would live hundred years, SO he
caught a young one just to try the ex-
pertinent. You have all heard Of the
man who had an idea that a mule could
be taught to live without eating, but
unfortunately before he reached a
definite decision the mule inconslderately
died.
PREsIDENT's ADDRESS.
The most glazing defect IN expert
mentation has been and is loose, scat
tering, unsystematic way of cond ucting
the experiments. Having but one OBJ
ject in view no notice is taken of other
influences which are potent to affect the
result. The conclusions reached have
been by such loose reasoning and on
such incomplete data that TO an analyti-
Cal mind they are of no value.
For instance an orchard was planted
in rich ground, cultivated with care and
literally MANFRED. 1t grew apace. Year
after year it put on it's robe Of beautiful
green but no fruit.
Disguised and discouraged the owner
seeded it down to grass and m AIDE a past

crop of fruit bent the branches to the
ground. Here was proof positive that
an orchard should be seeded down to
grass and pastured.
Another man planted poor lot of
meadow to orchard. For years the trees
had rough and tumble fight for exist
ence. They grew slowly-moss came
on the bark. The leaves were small and
yellow year after year and still no fruit
At last fully convinced that orcharding
was a failure, but determined to use the
land for ether purposes the owner broke
up the sod, MANFRED heavily with stable
manure and potash, when like magic the
moss disappeared from the bark. The
leaves grew large and green and he was
rewarded with luscious fruit. What is

friendly talk and eating abundantly of
the fruit our friend went home and
wrote:
Dear Farmer and Fruit. Grower:-I
take great pleasure in giving your
readers an account of most remarkable
crop of strawberries just harvested by
my neighbor.
1t will yield on an acre between 49, 900
and $4,000. You know 1 have always
advocated the cultivation of strawberries
in hills and here is the most convincing
proof OF it's superiority for just over the
fence neighbor has plantation which

aught more be said?
Faithfully yours,
ABEL GRETCHARD.
Friend Gates did not suffer from
sc litude while harvesting his berries
for the fame of his crop was wide. The
next caller was old Sukpen, editor-in.
chief of the Weed Killers Advocate.
The old gentleman looked over his
glasses with unfeigned delight at the
unprecedented plantation, which next
to it's crop of fruit is remarkable for the
conspicuous absence of weeds. 1t is i'm
possible to tell which most delighted
the new visitor, the fruit or the total
absence Of weeds. He shook our Gates's
hands enthusiastically and gave vent to
unlimited praies for the faith fulness
with which he had followed the teach
ings of the Weed Killers Advocate.
The next weeks issue contained the
following:
THOROUGH VERSUS sLIPsHOD CULTURE.
Friend Gates of Cloverdale has the
most magnificent crop of strawberries
it has ever been our good fortune to
behold. He is long time subscriber
to the Weed Killers Advocate and we
attribute his grand success to the faith
full manner in which he has followed its
teachings.
We never saw field so clear OF weeds,
indeed we doubt if thimbleful could
be gathered on the entire acre and he
informs us that none have ever been
allowed to grow. This acre will net
him 100000 after all expenses are paid
all from $500 per year invested in the
Weed Killers Advocate. Per contra his
neighbor just over the fence does not
take our paper and his plantation is
overrun with weeds ano grass and his
strawberry crop is a failure. Moral

the State University who could scarcely
give expression to his delight at the crop
of fruit and the healthy luxuriance of
the foliage on this plantation. He said
it confirms the wisdom of following the
teachings of nature in our horticultural
operations. He explained that the
