In March or April, but those who have

In midwinter so as to have them ready

Great care must be exercised in feeding
young pigs after they have been weaned.
Fresh skim milk and ground oats are
about the best feeds that may be had.
Heavy and heating food, such as corn
or peas, will have a tendency to check
growth, and once in n stunted condition
no amount of care will make strong and
growing pigs of them. To be profitable,
hogs should be ready for market at
eight or nine months of age. The favor

A Signal Eaom lars

Year after year. when politics cease
from troubling, there recurs the ques-
tion as to the existence of intelligent,
sentient life on the planet Mars. The
last outcrop of speculations grew from
the discovery by M. Javelle of luminous
projection on the southern edge of the
planet Theelight was peculiar in sew
eral respects and, among other interpre-
tations, it was suggested that the in
habitants of Mars were flashing messa-
ges to the conjectured inhabitants of the
sister planet earth. No attempt at re-
ply was made: indeed, supposing our
astronomer royal, with our best tele-
scopes, transported to Mars, a red riot
of fire running athwart the whole OF
London would scarce be visible to him.
The question remains unanswered, prob
ably unanswerable.
There is no doubt that Mars Is very
like the earth. Its days and nights, its
summers and winters differ only In their
relative lengths from ours. J.. has land
and oceans, continents and Islands.
mountain ranges and inland cas-. Its
polar regions are covered w tn SHOWS
and it has an nosphere and clouds.
warm sunshine and gentle rains. The
spectroscope. that subtle analyst Of the
most distant stars, gives us reason to be-

If reason be able to guide us, we know
that protoplasm, at first amorphous and
unntegrated, has been guided on this
earth by natural forces into that mar
velous series of forms and integrations
we call the animal and vegetable king

Fertilizing Potatoes

l have been raising potatoes for the
last fifteen years with complete fertil-
izers. Only once did fall back on sta
BILE manure, and never would do it again
Not only was the yield unsatisfactory
but also the quality. The potatoes were
scabby. something I never complain of
as long as used fertilizer.
With stable manure applied in the
spring, scab is almost sure to make its
appearance, but it Is asserted that If
stable manure is hauled out in the fall
and spread on the land intended for DO
tatoes the following spring the potatoes
VIII not be affected. might state here
that scab can be prevented by dipping
the potatoes either in a solution of corro-
sive sublimate, o., dissolved in eight
cen gallons of water shortly before plant
ing or by rolling them in flour of sulphur.
Both of these remedies have given good
results.
However as I said before, by the sim
pie use of commercial fertilizers hav
NOT only obtained good results as to quan
tity, the yield varying, per acre, from

son. but alS0 20 quality. The potatoes
were smooth and good sized. My land
is clay also, but with good drainage. so
essential to growing potatoes, and the
fertilizer I used contained 3h to per
cent ammonia, to 3 per cent phosphoric
acid derived from bone, IS per cent pot
ash in the form of sulphate of potash.
This complete fertilizer, II purchased in
the market, will cost about $42 per ton,
and an application of 500 to 500 pounds
per acre Is none too much
The best method of applying 1t Is would
be-. supposing 800 pounds per acre are
used. to broadcast 600 pounds after plow
ing and harrow in; then use 200 pounds
in the rows before planting. The rea-
son why broadcasting Is preferable to
using the entire quantity in the rows Is
that the young shoots throw out a num-
Der of lateral roots. and the plant thus
receives more benefit from the fertilizer.
Mr.. T. Il. Terry of Ohio, an authority on
potato culture. upon investigation, has
found roots 1S to % inches long with the
stem of the plant only 8 inches above
ground. If Amateur desires to mix fer
tilizer himself, the New York experiment
station gives the following formulas:
Nitrogen per cent go to 80 pounds per
acre.. to be derived either from az $50
to 800 pounds nitrate of soda, (2) $50 to
800 pounds Of sulphate of ammonia. or
BILE phospnoric acid. 6 per cent (40 to
so pounds) from % 400 to 800 pounds of
bone meal, (2) 275 to $50 pounds dissolved
bone. etc, or (3) 1925 to $50 pounds dis
solved rock. Potash, Q per cent (65 to
100 pounds from % 100 to 260 pounds of
muriate of potash, (2) 1870 to 260 pounds
OF sulphate of potash. or (9 500 to 1040
pounds of kainit-and further says:
THE use of stable manure appears to
favor the growth of potato scab. When
used stable manure should be applied to
preceding crop Wood ashes are also
reported to favor the attack Of the scab
1t Is commonly held that sulphate Of pot
ash produces tubers of better quality
than does muriate. The testimony on
this point is conflicting"
Perhaps the most advantageous form

Tie use of nitrate of soda as the only
source of nitrogen could not be recon-

quickly. and much of it is lost befo @
the plant is able to take it up.

OvercroWdlnu Fowls

Nothing IS more conducive to sickness
among TO Is than overcrowding, says
the Calif' mia CultivAtor. A coop five
feet square affords sufficient space for
flock of twenty-five to roost in, besides
giving room for necessary laying boxes
and a run twelve by fifty feet will an
swer for the same number if they be
given an occasional outing; but it must
not be imagined that ten times this
amount of space is ample for ten times
the number of birds. for it is not The
poisonous air and the exhalations from
the bodies and the evacuation of large
number of fowls kept together cannot
be combated by any influence; there
fore common sense would teach us to
divide our fiocks, if large, into small
colonies. AS general thing twenty five
hens in one flock will lay equally as
many eggs as fifty, if confined in the
same space. The bad air caused by too
many fowls being l.ept together aids the
development of the germs of disease,
while at the same time the constitution
of the bird Is SO undermined as to una

Orange Droppngs mt Rediands and nIghIsn nd +;

a cafeful inspection of many orchards
at Redlands and Highlands showed that
the late dropping would amount to no
small proportion in some orchards. es-
pecially in the younger ones. 1t was the
opinion of Mr.. S. Craig of the Citro-
graph that the whole shipment from
Redlands would be from 10 to IL per cent
below the shipments of last year. While
the general average will be less fruit
than last year, there are some orchards
that have larger crops than ever before;
for example. the orchards of Mr.. III. H
Petit are ell loaded, and that gentle.
man thinks he will have a larger crop
than last ear. He attributes the hold
ing on of lis fruit to the fact that dur
ing the last two or two and half years
he has been Systematically feeding his
trees although they are now only four
years old. When asked what fertiliz-
ers he had used, the fact was revealed
th' he had used on one orchard. that
was apparently healthy when he began
teeding 1t, pounds of nitrogen to every
10 pounds OF phosphoric acid, 5k pounds
OF potash and pounds of sulphate OF
iron. On another orchard that had
more or less yellow and variegated
leaves he had used to every 6 pounds of
nitrogen IL pounds of phosphoric acid.
o1s POUNDS or potash and 10 pounds of
suiphate OF iron, and that the value of
these fertilizing elements had amounted
TO lo cents per tree. Mr.. Petit said that
as his trees had been well fed and cared
for, when the alternate heat and cold
waves of last spring came, his trees
were better able to stand the strain
than those that We're not so we'll cared.
for, and instanced cases of well-fed and
cared-for children being better able to
Withstand epidemics than children re-
ceiving poor food and poor care. Ger
tainly there are no trees in Redlands
that look any healthier or better or show
more fruit, for their age, than do Mr..
Pettits.
AT Highlands Capt Bosworth esti-
mates that he will have one-third more
crop than he had last year, and it would
be impossible to find finer looking =

fertilized his trees with complete fer

Trnnsplan.lax Tr.es--A p.rfrc. Me..o1

Through the courtesy of Mr. H. Cooe-
land, superintendent of the San Diego
Land and Town company we are en-
apied to give our readers the method
used by the gentleman above named
Tor transplanting trees from the nur-
sery to the orchard. Last August Mr.
copeland put out twenty acres of orange
trees without the loss of a single tree.
He also put out one hundred acres of
grape fruit and the loss was less than
one-half of one per centum. nor is there
any wilt to the leaves. Mr.. Copeland
uses what he calls tree can" a cut
or which appears. The can is made
from No. "A galvanized iron and is ten
inches in diameter and ten inches high.
the bottom end is ground to an edge.
Holes are cut one inch from the ton of
the can, one inch by four; this opening
is cut on three sides and the piece Of
metal bent back tight against the upper
side of the can, thus making a place
where the hand can be inserted for lift
ing 1t and the tree. The can is passed
down over the nursery stock and forced
into the ground to it's full length. Then
the soil is removed from one side on the
outside OF the can and sharp spade is
run under the can thus cutting the tap
root, when the can and tree are lifted
together for transportation In replan :
ing the tree the can is buried with the
tree after which the can is lifted out of
the soil Ind over the tree, when of course
1t can e used again.
