The Scuppernong.

A correspondent of the Country Gen.
tleman speaks of scuppernong grape
vine from which 40 bushels Of grapes
have been sold for two successive years,
and it is probable that it will produce
so bushels this year. The vine is trained
over an harbor some twenty-five feet
long by Is feet wide, and is foot in
diameter at the ground. This is not at
all an uncommon size, and vine might
easily cover an area of 1900 square feet.
The scuppernong will not thrive north
of 81 degrees of latitude; but it is we'll
known as thick-skinned grape, which
keeps we'll, and can be shipped long dis
tances. 1t has peculiar flavor, which
is not disagreeable to many people, and
it makes an acceptable wine. 1t reaches
it's best development it Southeastern
Virginia and Northeastern Carolina,
where it runs wild, and often climbs 40
feet or more into tree tops. If allowed
to grow with no pruning or care, except
a trellis or something to run upon, it
will usually give fair crops.

Growing Pole Lima Beans.


The lima bean as now raised may be
divided iato dwarf, bush and pole sorts,
but dwarf and bush sorts originated in
part from the pole lima. In lima bean
production California leads the world,
the output being II, 500 tons in 1898 and
10, 200 in 1895. In the east lima beans
are much raised in New Jersey. The
natural home of the lima bean is in
warm countries and they require long
season TO mature. In the north the sea-
son should be shorten by the selection
Of earlier varieties and Of soil, and CIV
ing more attention to cultivation. Light
quick soils are BEST Soil naturally
sandy and loose but enriched with ma
mare in previous years, is excellent,
especially if they have warm exposure.
The soil should also be dry. Coarse,
raw manure should be avoided as it
tends to make to rank and late growth.
II fertilizer is applied the year in which
beans are planted, it should be such as
tend to hasten maturity of crop. Con-
centrated fertilizers, those especially
rich in potash and phosphoric acid and
with low per cent of nitrogen, are best
suited Plant an inch deep in hills
three feet apart and the rows about four
feet apart, dror ping seven or eight beans
in each hill When we'll up and danger
from bad weather and cu5worms is past
pull out all but three or four. Poles
should not be over six feet high as on
longer poles the vines run too high and
grow too late. Clipping back the vines
is unnecessary when strong fertilizers
are withheld. The California practice
of bean growing varies sreatly in that
the crop is not infre quently raised from
planting to harvesting withouta shower.
Machine planters plang two to four rows
at a time, forty inches apart. Instead
of setting poles, the plants grow over
and completely cover the ground. The
plants are cut in late Septem Der just be-
low the surface of the ground, are forked
into piles and allowed to dry fort
night. A piece of ground sixty to eighty
| feet is hardened and two or three big
wagon loads are placed in ring.
Horses attached to light wagons are
driven over them, the beans threshed
The process Of thrashing by large steam
machines which clean up from fifty to
seventy-fve acres of beans per day, has
more recently been adopted by most of
the large growers IN the west. Such
machinery has been on the market but
few seasons, and is therefore quite ex-
pensive. While all consumers welcome
cheap m ethods of production, the aver.
age farmer should continue to plans
good-sized family garden. - American

Smudging VS.. Irrigation to Prevent Frost
Damage.

AU UuG VI uAO OOdtO OO0A0 Va
Trade, 16 Post street, this city, there
was placed, on Friday last, a very unique
exhibit, consisting of a quantity of fruit
branches bearing fruit and leaves just
removed from trees growing IN orchards
in the Visalia fruit district Nearly
every variety Of fruit grown in that Sec
ton of the state was exhibited, and up
on inspection and close examination
found to be in healthy condition. The
exhibit Was made by I. H. Thomas of
Visalia, for the purpose of showing the
condition of the fruit and it's freedom
from frost, in orchards where irrigation
was practiced as a preventive against
frost damage. The collection of fruit
branches represented, Clyman and
Abundance plums, French and Tragedy
lrunes, Heath cling and several other
varieties of peaches, almonds, assorted
nectarines and apricots, besides fine
sample of green and almost ripe lines
from the PortervilIe orchard of Mr..
Prettyman. The deciduous fruit specl-
mems were furnished by Messrs. Thomas
& Son, B. @. Anderson, @. II. Lindsay,
g. E. Brown and the Giant Oak Fruit
Company. 1t was claimed by Mr..
Thomas, who took great pleasure in ex-
planning this exhibit, that the handsome
condition of the fruit displayed was the
result of irrigation practiced during the
critical frost period to prevent frost
damage. The orchards, from which
these exhibits were taken, are scattered
about in the Visaia fruit district, and
the ground was thoroughly filled with
water during the cold spell. The rapid
evaporation of moisture, it is claimed,
prevented the fruit from being damaged
by frosts, although the thermometer in
this neighborhood registered as follows:
On May 10th, % degrees; May 18th, %
degrees; May 18th, 30 degrees and May
10Th, 81 degrees. The object lesson
gained from this exhibit is, that irr;ga-
ton under certain conditions, in certain
localities, if properly practiced will pre-
vent frost damage, but it must be born
in mind that all sections of the state
cannot take advantage of this frost pre-
ventlve. 1t can only be practiced on
land that has good undertakings, for
if at that particular season Of the year,
with the trees in blossom, and the fruit
Just forming, you have the ground
thoroughly saturated with the water and
the weather should come off very warm,
unless the land has an excellent under
drainage you would be very liable to kill
your trees from sour sap, for the stand
ing water would certainly produce that
result so like all other remedies, this
will not prove "cure all" but is pc
culiarly adapted to certain localities.
In a section where the soil is not toe
heavy or retentive, and underground
drainage is good and irrigation can be
practiced, this method may be success
fully employed to prevent frost damage,
but with this, as in all other applica.
tions for this purpose, you must irrigate
for thai particular purpose and under
stand the reasons for so doing, otherwise
the results may be disastrous. You
m ust not flood your orchards at any one
time. to the extent of allowing great

The Competitor was seized at Punla

SENATOR DANIELS LETTER.

The open letter from Senator John w.
Daniel to w. o. Hardaway, Esq, of this
city, in answer to an invitation to ad-
dress the meeting OF Silver Democrats
to be held here on the end of May next,
Is q clear and explicit definition Of the
Senator'S views on the silver question,
and 1t Is to be regretted that the press
of Congressional business will probably
prevent him from attending the meet
ing
The Senator says 1t has long been his
conviction that return to the

prevailed in this country, is necessary
to the prosperity of the people and that
If the experiences of the last three
years have not opened their eyes to the
folly of closing the minis and destroy.

seem vain to argue the matter. He does
not think 1t is generally appreciated
that the silver question Is the pivotal
point on which turns the whole SCENE
Of financial revision, but in his opinion
"our whole currency system ia in con-
fusion, and this confusion can only be
corrected by restoring bimetsllism or
destroying existing circulation"
He says it is agreed on all hands that
we should keep our mints open to the
free coinage Of gold, and that there must
be radical reform ss to the other ele-
ments of our currency. The necessity
for this reform arises from the fact that
we have outstanding, in greenback
paper money. coin certificates and sil-
YER certificates, q total of $500. 900. 900 o.
paper money. one.half of all our existing
circulation, and, unless sill yer Is restored
as money of redemption, all OF thi!
paper money must be retired by issuing
bonds to buy gold to pay 1T off in.
Should all this paper money be re
tired, there would. he says. BIZ such

claIed in the State convention here to-

The fret shot was fred by Cullom's

structing the national delegates at

the convention.
When the motion was made to substi-
tute the name OF Mckinley for that of

motion on the table was made. On this
the test came, the roll call resulting

the 10 per cent. destroying tax that

This plan he says WAS unanimously

Had IL been carried out the Democratic
party, in his opinion, would not have

turn of from iss declarations and to-

The people, he says, are in no mood
to tolerate straddles. The most cour-
sgeous and direct course is the safest
one, in his opinion, and the rule Of the
majority is the only one that can tend
TO ward harmony. The State votes as Q

If the Democratic people OF Virginia

THE action of Illinois Republicans
yesterday in declaring Mckinley their
Cullom. who was backed by all the po-
liticsl machinery OF the party in that
State and most of the leaders, ought to
satisfy those who have been opposing
the nomination of the Ohio man that
they are laboring in vain. Whatever
may be The virtues or faults OF Major
Mckinley, it is certain that he Is the
choice of the majority of the voters OF
his party for President, and this being
the case. all the efforts of politicians to
defeat him will be fruitless.
