A CLIPPERS MlsHAP.
The shir Larnaca Run Down h,
Another Vessel.


San Francisco, Nov. 18.-Early yes.
terday morning the British ship Lar
naca arrived off the port from Valpar-
also. She was met outside the heads
by pilot who carried orders for her to
proceed to Portland. Her captain at
once changed his course and headed his
vessel with the westerly wind to clear
Point Reyes, on tack out TO the open
sea.
The big vessel was slowly moving
along under the light breeze when sud-
denly came a confused shouting of or
ders off to starboard, and the next in
stant vessel under full sail crashed
Into the Larnaca. just forward of the
main rigging. For moment the two
vessels hung together, then ground into
each other as they swung apart. Their
tangled rigging was torn from aloft
and came crashing to the decks of the
vessels, driving the scared sailors
under the timbers of the forecastle
head to escape the falling blocks and
cordage.
The vessel that ran into the British
'hAP was bho 1uEnlSll6,
In from Newcastle. Pilot Miller had
boarded her some hours before and was
directing the bark's course, leaving the
crew to keep lookout ahead. The
vessel had all her sails set to catch the
light wind and she was going almost
dead before it. The pilot on the poop
deck was unable to see anything before
him except big spread of canvas and
he was not aware Of the danger until
the two vessels were together. The
men on the lookout forward had be-
come engaged in other work and me-
elected to keep watch The night was
clear aid the master and crew of each
vessel blames' the other for the disaster
The Larnaoa had her starboard bull
wayks crushed in, the rail torn away
and two plates in her hull above the
water line were cut through. The
Pierre Cornielle lost her jib-boom, and
with 1T went most Of her headgear.
Some Of her forward plates were start
ed by the force of the collision. After
they had been separated the British
ship turned her bows for port. and will
be repaired before proceeding ON her
voyage to Portland.

Mr.. Strlngfe How, the pioneer LeCoute
grower Of Texas says that he tirsE found
out the superior quality Of LeCODtes
after eating his own fruit in Chicago.
The secret lies in picking the fruit lit
tie in advance of its having attained its
full growth, and while yet free from the
slightest tinge of yellow, and keeping it
confined in boxes or barrels for week
or ten days, shut up in its own atmos
phere. These conditions are perfect
when the fruit is shipped TO distant mar
kets by freight, after having, Of course.
been properly picked and packed. If
any person should desire to test the quail
ity of LeCOntes, as our northern friends
see them, we would suggest that he pick
a barrelful at the proper stage, as above,
head the barrel up, leave it in the shade
for a week or ten days, and then take
the head out and sample the contents.
If he has some of the fruit to compare it
with that was picked at the same time
and left lying around exposed to light
and air, he will wonder how he came to
have two varieties, when he supposed
they were all LeContes, and will never
afterward eat LeConte tout of hand, "

Oanaigre.

The Agricultural Experiment Station
of the University of Arizona has issued
a thirty-six page pamphlet on the sub
ject of canaigre, which will be of much
value to persons who think of going into
the culture of this crop.
Among the conclusions arrived at by
the experiment station are that, while
canaigre will endure frost and will grow
in rainy seasons, it does not promise
good results there; that the planJ is not
known to be seriously threatened by in
sects; that canaigre draws heavily upon
the soil, especially for nitrogen, It's total
drain being about twice as costly as that
of sugar beets. The culture of canaigre
is declared to be yet in it's experimental
stage. A fair estimate shows that it
will be necessary to produce an annual
crop of about seven tons or biennial
crop of about thirteen tons an acre in
order to equal the profits of sugar beet
culture. This yield, while probable, has
so far as known not yet been demon
strated.-Ex.

For the Florida Agriculturist.
Celery Culture.

In my last article on celery | spoke
more particularly of the selection and
preparation of the SOIL In this wish
to speak of the mixture of the fertilizer
to be used for the crop.
Every farmer should study his land to
know in which of the fertilizing elements
it is deficient.
Most of our soils lack, mainly, phos-
phate, potash and nitrogen; some more
and some less of either or all.
To supply this deficiency in the chem
ical constituents of the soil use mainly
sulphate of potash 80 per cent, nitrate
of soda, and phosphate. | find it much
cheaper to do this and mix my own fer
tilzer than it is to use the high grade
manufactured article. In order to get
the proper amount of each fertiliZing
element to give the required per cent in
my mixture | use a little table given be-
low, following an explanation Of how
the figures are obtained.
NITROGEN.
Nitrate of soda contains 1870 per cent
of actual nitrogen, (N). That is to say
100 pounds of nitrate Of soda would be
equal, in nitrogen, to 100 pounds OF a fer
tilizer containing 1870 per cent Of nitro
gen. Now to give only one Cd per cent
of nitrogen in my mixture it is evident
that 1-15.7 of 100 pounds of nitrate Of
soda must be used. This would be 6 1894
pounds.
Condensing the above we have the fol.
lowing table:
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-09-30

Two, four or any per cent Can now be
obtained by using two, four or the re.
uuired number of times the amount
necessary to give one per cent.
PHOSPHATE.
Most of our acid phosphate contains
about sixteen per cent of phosphoric
acid. Hence if we want one per cent
in our mixture we must use one-six-
tenth of 100 pounds of che acid phos
phate which is 625 pounds. Larger per
cents are obtained by multiplying by
the required per cent as with the nitro
gen.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1896-09-30
PHOSPHATE.
POTASH.

Our sulphate of potash does not come
to us pure. About ninety per cent is
the best we can get. Ninety per cent
sulphate of potash (Ks S % contains
48 &c plus per cent of actual potash
(Ka o.. To get our one per cent we
must take 148.66 of 100 pounds which
is 2.O547 pounds of sulphate Of potash
and higher in proportion as with phos-
phate and nitrogen.
These figures are for 100 pound mix
ture. For ton take twenty times the
amount as twenty hundred make ton.
The Florida State Bulletin, No. %,
recommends for celery nitrogen to 6
per cent, phosphoric acid to per cent,
potash to 10 per cent, and of this they
say use from 1000 to 1900 pounds per
acre.
Now let us take our table and see what
is necessary to make a mixture contain
ing the required per cent. We will take
the highest per cents given by the bulle-
tin and figure for 100 pound mixture,

The Record has always believed that it
was mistake for the state committee to
put the state conventions on wheels. 1t
will inevitably lead to discord and to cor =
ruption.
The rivalry will become intense be-
tween the towns after awhile, mercennry
considerations will creep into the selec-
tions, and shameful corruption, general
disgust and consequent party damage
will be the result.
Competing towns will be compelled to
''put up" which will be unfair and un
just, and charges of ''rake OFFS will
freight the air TO the damage of the par
ty. The state capital is the proper place
for the conventions to be held. The peo-
pie ought to go as often as possible to
their seat of government.
But then Topeka ought to hump itself
and put upla hall sufficient to accommo-
date such gatherings. The hotel &C.
commod ations are all right, the charges
reasonable, and receptions" cordial
enough. Republicans do not expect to
be raffied, and shattered with molasses
by the citizens of their convention city.

STILL IN A TANGLE.
Judge Vance Hearing the Dispute in
Regard to the Sproat Case.

Judge Vance Hearing the Dispute in
Regard to the Sproat Case.
The Sproat receivership matter was
scheduled for final settlement yesterday
afternoon before Judge Vance as judge
pro TEN, but as usual the attorneys be-
came considerably tangled up in the
case and it was postponed until this aft
ernoon.
Attorney Joe Waters was present rep
resenting the ex-Mrs. George Sproat
and delivered quite an interesting argu =
ment in favor of his contention.
When the sale of the Model stock was
made recently there was not enough of
the proceeds to go all around among the
claimants and one of those who was left
out in the distribution was Captain
Waters client. So the captain came
into court yesterday afternoon seeking
to have the costs in the receivership case
placed upon Newberg & Son, who
brought action for the appointment of a
receiver, in order that Mrs. Sproat
might come in on the distribution of tn 9
proceeds of the sals.
Captain Waters said: "Morals, de-
cency, law and equity demand that the
had no business to appoint receiver"
Once, when Judge Vance babe him
cease for moment, he said: 81 have a
right to be heard, and l will be heard.
1 think L know more about this affair
than the court"
There is also trouble over some $3.50
of goods claimed by the Elk Manufac-
turing company of New York, which, it
is alleged in a cross petition. were OBJ
tanned by Sproat under false pretences.
The Elk concern seeks TO have the mort
gage of w. Fl. Davis and others declared
invalid, as it is alleged the Davis mort
gage was given to protect Sproat
After ella borate arguments upon both
sides for two hours, Judge Vance took
the matter uuder advisement and will
decide it this afternoon some time.
When this is settled and out OF the
way, then the question as to who shall
pay the costs in the receivership will
come up. The mortgages claim New
berg and Son ought to pay the costs as
they were responsible for the appoint
ment of the receiver. for whom, they say,
there was not the Sigh necessity.
The session yesterday afternoon was
held in the north court room, which is
deficient in acoustic properties.
