Darlington Booth May Decide Saturday on
an Independent Movement.

va
New York, Feb. 2s.-Staf If Captain
Cayglll, discussing the situation this
morning, said: Commodore Booth
will decide Saturday whether to lead
an independent movement or not. His
decision will depend on our action in
the meantime. There is a strong
secession sentiment, and if it
develops INTO an open revolt we
will insist on B%allington Booth
leading us again. If he should
agree to lead an independent move
ment he might retain control of head
quarters and other property. 1t is
quite likely that some of the leading
officers may compel the new com
mander to court martial them, in
which ase the fires of revolt would be
famed to such a heat that nothing
could prevent an independent move
ment."
The Press says this morning: "R. G.
Alexander, attorney for Ballington
Booth, eX-commander of the Salvation
Army in the United States, declared
yesterday that his client would not
turn over the American property of
the Army to the new chief coming
from London to take charge of the
American Army. Mr.. Alexander said

to reorganize the Army on an indie
pendent and distinctly American basis.

FRUIT FOR THE FAMILY.
How to Have a Fair Variety All the Year
ArOund

The question is often asked: "What
shall 1 plant in order to obtain a fuii
supply of fresh fruit for a family the
year round?" 1T is difficult to give ia
precise list, as I'm some seasons the crop
may be many times greater than in
others; and again, some will bear abun-
dainty and others fail in the same sea
son. The following, however, wiz
serve as an approximation:
The earliest fruits, about the first
Of summer, will be the strawberries
A selection of the most productive
sorts, well cultivated, with the runners
kept cut off, will afford about one quart
a day from each square rod for a month
Three or four square rods will, there
fore, give an abundant supply for Z
family. Four or five hundred plants
will be sufficient for this extent Of
ground. These will be followed by the
earliest cherries, and by currants, rasp-
berries and gooseberries. Two dozen
bushes of each of the four best sorts o:
currants, the same number of raspber
ries and two dozen of gooseberry will
if well cultivated, furnish an abundant
supply. One dozen cherry trees will be
enough. Two or three dozen bushes OF
the blackberry will supply a quart Il
day for some weeks toward the close OF
summer. Apricots, early apples and
early pears, and a few of the earliest
plums, will commence the season OF
abundance which, with the later varie.
ties of these fruits, will last till neal
winter. Winter apples and pears, and
all the good keeping varieties of the
grape, will continue the supply until
spring. Longkeeping apples, if placed
in a good, cool fruit-room or cellar, will
continue until the commencement OF
the new supply of strawberries

C-aCCN C~-l SPRAYING.

Frat ard Kerry L lowers Must Use Their
Own Judgment.
The grower Himself must decide
when AID how often to spray, because
he should know what enemies he de-
s:res to reach. Ii he has the bud moth
he should spray with the first swelling
OF the buds, and ii he has the plum scale
he should spray III the winter. But
leaving the special insect aside, it is
safe to say that for the two staple
enemies, the apple scab and the Goblin
moth, at least two sprayings should be
given. am not yet convinced that
spraying when the tree is dormant has
any appreciable effect in destroying the
apple scab fungus. AS general state
ment, | should say, spray twice upon
apples and pears, once just as the fruit
buds break open but before the flowers
expand. and again just as the last bios
SONS fall. In both cases | should use
combna ton of Bordeaux mixture and
paris green. The first spraying is for
the scab fungus in particular, and for
this the Bordeaux is used; but the
paris green Will most likely be of serv-
ice in destroying various leaf-eating
insects. The second spraying is for the
Goblin moth in particular, and for this
the paris green is used; but the Bor-
deauX mixture will still be needed for
the apple scab and other fungi.
Whether or not it is necessary to spray
again will depend largely upon the sea-
son. The operator must watch matters
closely, and spray when he needs to
do SO or when he is in doubt. Two
sprayings are sufficient for the Goblin
moth. and three are generally sufficient
for the apple scab. These two spray
ings which have recommended consti-
tute the insurance which has already
been mentioned; therefore the grower
will be able to see more definitely just
what is needed. AT any time when the
tree is in growth paris green or London
purple should be used with lime, or.
better, with Bordeaux mixture, to pre-
vent injury to the foliage. One pound
of paris green to 200 gallons of water is
the most serviceable general formula
for that material, and 10 this a pound
or two of lime may be a@ded.-Cornel

Lestriding biped.
Our consul further suggests plan
for road Improvement; OF, rather, for
raising the money for road improve
ment. 1t is the French plan, to wit. q
wheel tax. In France all carriages are
taxed. Those with seats for one or two
persons, $l0a year Tin round nnmbers);
those with seats for three, SIS, and for
four, $50; while bicycles and tricycles
are taxed So each. These taxes are pay
abLS monthly, in advance, and must be
paid before the vehicle is allowed to go
upon the road. fine revenue is thus
obtained. No doubt a similar system in
this country would also fill up the state,
county or township treasury. But we
don't want it. Such a tax would be par
ticularly vexatious and annoying.
We don't need it, either. Our ordi-
nary system of taxation is sufficient.
We spend enough money-or its equiv
alent-on our roads now to make them
as good as those OF France. The trouble
is we don't spend it in the right way.
sens of the year, when farm work is less
pressing than usual, the farmer works
out" his road tax. Generally it is about
the worst time of the year for the roads;
hut that doesn't matter. He takes his
horses and pillow and scraper, plows up
some burrows in the gutter between the
wagontrach and the sidewalks, and
scrapes the earth up into the middle
of the road. That makes the road rough
and lumpy. You must drive over it at
a walk, as over a newly plowed field. If
the weather remains dry it gets dusty;
if rain comes on it is mass of mud.
In course of time it gets worn down
fairly smooth and hard; and then it is
time to work out" some more taxes.

loose dirt again.

in most country places, and what it still
means on thousands Of miles of high

Attributes of a Good Farmer.

The Southern Farm Gazette asserts
that no man is good farmer who does
not at least maintain year in and year
out the average productiveness and
fertility of his farming lands. 1t is
not a hard thing to do this either for
any intelligent farmer. Little better
can be expected of an ignorant negro
tenant than to make it his invariable
rule to squeeze out of the soil all that
the soil will bear, paying back nothing
in the way of plant food for future
crops, practicing the plan of soil rob-
berry as matter of course, but we
surely expect better things of intelii-
gent white farmers and land owners.

THE CITIZEN FREDERICK MD. FRIDAY MORNING MARCH

Hunter Nicholson, in the Jersey Bull
letin, can be kept in healthful breed
ing condition without proper
amount Of exercise in the open air.
The free, pure air OF heaven is the best
health promoter known tor all domestic
animals, and the breeding COW needs
an extra quantity. How best to secure
it without too great exposure is the
problem that each breeder needs to
solve for himself. At the present time
it is so. and for a long time to come it
will be SO, that any good cow is worth
as much or more for breeding purposes
than for dairy purposes. Itwould there,
fore be very unwise to risk the health
Of breeding COW in an attempt to
squeeze out the last drop of milk. Even
IF dollhouse treatment secures more
milk, it is at too great a cost if it en-
hangers the constitutional vigor of
either the COW or her produce. In
other words. the breeder must consider
;his question from the standpoint of
breeder rather than from that OF I

drought last summer was trying to all
kinds of roads. Sand roads became al

emphasizing the experience and prac

cadamized roads should be set with
shade or fruit trees, SO that the silent

Interesting Dairy Records.

Careful comparisons made in Gel
many from the records of large herds
show that there is no relation. or even
approximate relation, between the
weight of cows and the yield of milk
The record of a Norwegian herd for ten
years shows that in different years the
average yield of milk per pound of live
weight averaged for the herd between
4.39 and &c pounds. The amount in
creased during the first eight years
The individual record for 1898 for herd
of 10 cows shows that the milk yield
varied from 4,2o5 to s,196 pounds dur
ing the year. The yield per pound of
live weight ranged from a. to 73
pounds.

wagon, was one ton. The tractive
force is given in pounds.

A good ayerage-trained horse weigh
ing not less than 1000 pounds, we'll fed
and treated, when actually walking ~,
miles per hour, can exert a tractive
force of 100 pounds.
From the above table we see one
horse can draw approximately three
tons on a plank road, 21a tons on cubical
blocks, one ton on packed gravel or
packed earth, one-half to one-fifth ton
on unpacked earth dry and one third to
one-fourth ton on packed earth after
rains.
The exceedingly low tractive force on
steel rails explains the assertion often
made that it is often cheaper to haul
freight by rail from points in the Mis-
sissippi valley to the seaboard than to
deliver it from the farm to the railway
station.
This is especially true during hard
winters, when all farm products are
higher than at any other time and more
in demand.
The final decision of what material
should be used in constructing road
