SPORT AT SANTA CRUZ.
Fishermen Credit the Salmon Ran to tn,
DepdrtMre OF Warshtps.

DepuFINTe OF WdrSNtDS.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, July 6.-The fish
ermen are crediting the big run of salmon
to the departure of the warships and the
cessation of booming cannon over the
waters of the bay during the target prac-
tice engaged in by the Philadelphia and
Monadnock. They say that while the
ships are burning powder at Monterey all
the fish at that point will come to Santa
Cruz.
However that may be nearly 200 salmon
were taken to-day and fewer boats were
out than yesterday. 1t does not matter to
the fishermen nor the sportsmen what is
the cause of the sudden rush of salmon
into the old tishing-grounds. They are
here and since the supply of sardiEes is
increasing the prospects are favorable for
a heavy and long run.

Fancies and Fallacies in Agricul-
ture.

"Plant beans with the eye down."
On the envelops inclosing lima beans
bought of most seedsmen in the Unit
ed States. the purchaser is advised to
plant with the eye down to ensure
successful vegetation. Having never
followed this advice in a successful
experience of forty years, the follow
ing experiment was made last year in
two adjacent hills: In one ten beans
were carefully placed with the eye
down. In the other ten were drop
ped in the usual way except that care
W as taken to have none with the eye
down, while every bean produced a
plant in the other.
Early varieties of peaches bloom
late and late varieties bloom early"
This expression was heard so often
that careful and accurate observations
were made for two consecutive sea-
sons. and a record kept Of the date OF
opening of the first flowers upon
forty five varieties, the date of full in
foresence and it's completion. 4. was
found that SONIC of the earliest varie-
ties were among the first to bloom,
and others were among the last. In
fine, there seemed to be no conneC-
ton whatever between the time of
ripening and date of Towering. Some
varieties continue much longer in
flower than others. This habit ena-
bles the former to escape late frosts
when the latter are destroyed. The
Hale and its descendant, the Alex
ander, are conspicuous examples of
long continued Towering and annual
bearing.
Seeding peaches ave more hardy
and reliable than budded trees A
large number OF seedlings and bndded
trees were planted under identical
conditions. Seven years after they
were planted, the percentage of loss
among the seedlings was more than
double that of the budded trees. The
fruit borne by the Seeding
were grown from seed of choice seed
ling fruit-was without exception in
ferior to that from the budded trees.
The Seeding fruit ripened within
one month in midsummer, while the
budded varieties yielded delicious
from May to November The budded
trees gave fruit in unfsvorabe sea-
sons when the Seeding failed. A Sc
we're frost on the twentieth of March
seriously injured the seedlings-kill-
ed back the topS-while the budded
trees were not injured. 3.
"Plant potatoes with cut side down."
When boy, assisting in my fathers
garden, was required at the cost of
much wasted energy, to carefully
place each piece OF potato with the cut
side down. When | planted my first
crop, the potatoes were dropped like
corn, and to the expressed surprise of
the old planters, a perfect stand was
secured. An experiment station re.
port recommends this plan ii. S,

Scientific Pig Feeding

Has been undertaken at the Vermont
experiment station. 1t was found
that sixty.twO per cent. of the market
value of the food was got back in the
value of the manure, when the latter
was properly handled. The cost of
food for pound of increase in live
weight and the profits were slightly
in favor of the less watery ration, but
the shrinkage at slaughter was the
same in these pigs as in those fed on
driver ration. Buttermilk had about
iour-ffths the feeding value of skim
milk. Poland-Chinas and Berkshires
gave the same results, but in another
test, Berkshires outstripped York
shires. In most cases it costs more to
keep pigs after certain age than
their gain in weight is worth. Al
the Danish station at Proskau feeding
corn meal was followed by good re-
suits in every case. Corn meal may
be fed to pigs under four months old
with no bad results, provided the
amount fed be not to great at first
but gradually increased, and the
whole ration not to rich. The ami
mails ted uncooked corn meal made 8
slightly larger gain than those fed
cooked meal. They gave good re
suits.
