Kola Nut Requires Rich Soil.

Anent the subject Of the culture of
the kola nut in Florida, of which | no.
tice rather flatterng notice was lately
given in the FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT,
let me say, that when in charge Of the
division Of pomology at Washington it
was my earnest desire and endeav0r to
fully lnvt stigate this subject and if pos
sible help to Introduce the culture Of
this valuable nut in southern Florida
Some nu'swera imported and distri buted
for trial. Very few and feeble had pre-.
viously been the results, and the same is
true to-day. All investigations in
foreign countries where the kola has
been grown went to prove that it will
only thrive in a very warm and moist
tropical country, and in the richest soil.
Having travelled through some Of the
more likely parts of the east coast Of
Florida, doubt if the kola will ever do

hope this is mistake. But it will be

Peach Leaves for Hog Cholera.

Says an exchange: During an expert
ence of twenty years | have no recollec-
tion of ever seeing hogs die Of cholera
when they had access to peach or
chard. They will eat every leaf that
they can get, aud large hogs will break
down and ruin small peach trees to get
the leaves and young twigs. They will
also crack and eat the kernels of all the
peach seed they can get, and such are
always healthy. I believe that if the
farmers of the south will plant large
peach orchards and enclose them so that
they can pasture them with their hogs,
they will have no sick hogs; and when
they can't pasture their orchards, make
peach leaf tea and make mash about
once week with the tea and corn meal,
or chops and wheat bran, and feed so
that all their hogs will get a good feed
of this, that when they will find their
hogs looking well and in good health.
This treatment will keep hogs clear of
worms of all kinds, and when this is the
case hogs are healthy. Try this,
brother farmers, and watch the result.

POISONOUS INSECTICIDES.
Insecticides of this class Kill by being
taken into the system of insects for
which they are used. Arsenic and it's
compounds form the active agent for
most of such insecticides.
9. PARIS GREEN.-As a spray use l
pound to 200 gallons of water. Keep
we'll stirred so that the poison shall be
held in suspension. If this is neglected
the green will settle to the bottom of the
vessel, as it is not soluble in water, and
the result will be that the spray will
contain little poison at first and too
much towards the last. In spraying
One pound of poison to 300 gallons of

should be used same as Paris Green.
One pound to 200 gallons. 1t should
never be used on peach trees, because
the foliage is very susceptible to injury
from the arsenites.
II. WHITE HELLEBoRE.--Use as a
spray. One ounce of the poison to gal
Ions of water. When applied dry it is
seldom mixed with anything. A little

FUNGICIDEs.
At present the use of fungicides is
quite as important as the use Of insecti-
cides in the culture of fruits and vege-
tables.
-. Ammoniacal Carbonate of Copper.
The stock solution is made by adding
five ounces of carbonate of copper to
three pints of ammonia (twenty-siX de-
grees) this may be kept any length of
time in bottle with glass stopper.
For use dilute with forty-fve gallons Of
water.
10. Bordeaux Mixture.-Dissolve six
pounds of copper sulphate in a wooden
or earthen vessel. In another tub or
vessel Stake four pounds Of fresh lime;
add enough water to reduce it to the
consistency of thick whitewash. Pour

wide through which the liquid may be
poured. To prevent loss of the mixture
the opening should be covered with a
piece of burlap or oil cloth. Tack one
edge to the barrel having the rest loose
to admit of it's being turned back to
allow the full opening to be used in fill
ing. the barrel.
The length of the hose needed will
depend upon the character and height
of the plants to be sprayed. In general,
however, from eight to ten feet will be
ample, if the nozzle used is suited to
throw fine spray a long distance. If
the nozzle has to be carried into the tree
on pole in order to do the required
work, the length of the hose must be in
creased correspondingly.
The nozzle is the all-importanta attach
ment of the spraying apparatus.
A nozzle that will throw fine spray a
long distance, and one that will not clog
by any fine particles of lime or dirt
which might get into the spraying mix
ture, is what is wanted. Such nozzle
will facilitate the work Of spraying more
than most any other invention.
For spraying the large forest, fruit, or
street trees, the barrel, as before de-
scribed, instead of being mounted upon
runners, may be placed upon wagon.
This will be found to be most convenient
where the rows are at some distance
from each other, or in long rows far
enough apart to admit the team and
wagon.
CONTACT INSECTICIDES.
The following insecticides are those
which kill bv contact. The essential
principal of any mixture of this class
must be a volatile oil Of considerable
penetrating power in order that it shall
act upon the body of the insect, or it
shall be heavy substance capable of
forming a coating over the body of the
insect and thus preventing respiration.
|" airy Case the material used, while
sufficient to act on the body of the in
sect must not be injurious to the deli
cate tissues of the plant.

l quart, or hard soap I pound; 2 quarts
hot water; pintof kerosene. Stir until
thoroughly mixed; then dilute with
water, using one part Of emulsion to
three or four of water. The most sat
isfactory way Of making an emulsion is
to use force pump for mixing; pump

several times.
Another method is to use hard soap,

HAVANA, Dec. 16.-The United States
consulate in this city is under a special
guard of armed police. This precau-
ton is taken by the Spanish authori-
ties owing to the fear that the indigna-
tion expressed by the Spanish sym
pathizers against the United States
would find vent in an attack upon the
consulate. There have been fresh signs
of the hostile feeling against the United
States in view of the news from there
of the ardent sympathy felt with the
insurgents over the death of Antonio
Maceo and the allegations there of the
manner in which he was killed.

PHOENIX. A. T., Dec. 16.-At the
morning session of the National Irriga-
ton congress, Mr.. E. R. Moses, chair
man of the executive committee, sub
mitted the annual report of the COM
mittee The report says:
The work laid out by the executive
committee for 1896 had not been fully
accomplished nor was it as satisfactory
to the members as it would have been
if they had not been handicapped in
many ways in its advancement. Nearly
every senator and representative i'll
congress had been written to and ex-
plicitly told what was desired and their
cooperation was asked. A very strong
sentiment i'll favor of irrigation had
been found. The press had given val
liable assistance to the cause and the
railroads had shown no lack Of interest
in the work, blany Of the officials of the
railroads having given personal atten-
tion to the work in several ways that
had been productive of great good.
The East Is Interested.
Surprising as it may seem to you of
the West, the East and the South are
waking up to the necessity of irrigation
even in their own sections, and in
many places are experimenting in irri-
cation for the the purpose of making
surer and larger crops, which they
know will always increase the value of
their land. From this source we have
been encouraged Not the least inter-
ested in the work are the water and
land companies, emigrant and provi-
dent associations, the latter working in
conjunction with the former will one
day solve the great national question
What shall we do with the unem-
ployed?' which is answered by the
utilization of the vast waste lands by
irrigation, for the colonization of these
people.
The congress should do something be-
sides making speeches. 1t should leg
islate. Pass a bill or bills embodying
the issues it had for years presented to
the people. The country in general
was demanding something feasible,
practicable and tangible. They could
not at first expect or even think what
they did would be perfect Time and
experience would reveal the imperfec-
tions and give ample time to correct
them.
Irrigation and Forestry Commissions.
A bill or bills creating a national irri-
cation commission and national for
estry commission should be passed
The duty of the irrigation commission
should be to look after irrigation in its
every shape and form, in every state and
territory to take charge of all irrigation
works and property, and report
directly to congress or to the interior
or agricultural departments, the prog
ress of irrigation and make such sug-
gestions as would be for its further ad-
vancement until every irrigable arid
acre is subdued and the unemployed
and homeless found peace and plenty
upon them.
The necessity for forestry commits
sion was as important to this country
as the forests, for without the former
we would soon have none of the latter
Sooner or later we would not feel the
loss of forests in dollars and cents SC
much as we would in the use of con-
serving the waters for irrigation.

WEYLER MAY GO
Said to Be Much Dissatisfaction
in Spain Regarding His
Course.
Should Have Remained in the
Field Instead of Coming
to Havana
In Order to Receive Ovations.
Cirujeda the Hero
Now.

MADRID, Dec 16-The report that
Captain General Weyler has ordered
proceedings to be taken against Major
Cirujeda, because the major, after the
death of Antonio Maceo went to Ha-
vana without the permission OF his
superior officers, is causing discomfort
here, owing to the popularity OF Cru
jeda Although the ministers main
tain reserve on the subject 1t Is stated
that the cabinet may consider this
question, and it is further stated that
the ministers may also discuss theaexe-
cution of General Weyler's plan of
campaign, which is criticized in certain
quarters. 1t has been decided at the
cabinet council to purchase the British
transport, Prince of Wales.
The Impartial says that the ministers
have no knowledge of Captain General
Weyler having taken any action
against Major Cirujeda and regard it
as being improbable. The impartial
also says that the report that Captain
General Weyler is shortly to be re-
placed is not confirmed.
Weyler May Have to Go.
According to surface indications,
Captain General Weyler will soon be
relieved of his command in Cuba. The
discomfort with Weyler is noticeable
even in the government organs They
say that instead of going to Havana TO
receive au unmerited ovation, he ought
to have continued the military opera
tions in the province of Pinar del Rio.
A bad impression has also been Gre
ated here by the dispatches of the
Spanish correspondents at Havana an
nouncing that General Weyier had
suppressed all dispatches referring to
the ovations i'll Spain in honor of Major
Cirujeda 1t is supposed the captain
generals action was due to jealousy,
and.it is currently reported that the
government is disposed to replace Wey-
Ter by General Marin, now governor of
the Cuban province of Pinar del Rio.
