United States Secretary of Agricul-
ture, asking the assistance of the de-
Lartment of which he is the head, in
the culture in California of the Smyr-
ma fig. The letter states that fig Gull
ture in California has not been COM
mercial success, Notwithstanding the
fact that climatic and soil conditions
are highly favorable. The failure is
said to be due to the absence of an in
sect which, in Smyrna, aids in matur-
ing the fig and which imparts to it,
through the carrying of pollen, that
delicate flavor which makes the fruit
so delicious.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture is asked to assist in the
importa ton of the insect which is nec>
essary to fertilize figs in California,
and the suggestion is made that some
one be sent to Smyrna to engage in
the culture of the figs in pots, for
shipments to the United States after
the pupa of the necessary insect had
become developed in the maturing
fruit.
The State Board of Trade calls at
tention to the fact that $1,2O0,OO0 is
sent abroad annually for the purchase
of Smyrna figs, and that if proper
steps are taken, that amount can be
saved to the United States to the bene-
fit of California.

This was in October, 1896. After using

Shipping Plants.

One of the most common mistakes
committed by persons shipping
plants is the practice of moistening
them. Unless the weather is cool the
chances are that they will heat if wet
or moist and then they are done for.
A wilted plant can be revived by
plunging it into water and setting it
out in "a cool shaded place. But for
heated plant there is no hope.
[ have shipped currants, gooseber-
ries and raspberries from Scotland to
Australia, which were four months on
the way, and never moistened them

Among the Thousand Islands is one

particle before starting simply wrap
ped them in sphagnum moss-and
they arrived in good condition, and
large percentage of them grew.
Another very common error is to
SOW seed in a rich bed; most people
make it as rich as it can we'll be made.
The result is, the plants come up and
grow with extraordinary vigor for a
little while, crowd one another, be-
come tall and spindling, and are then
transplanted into soil much poorer
than the seed bed, and they receive
stunning which is we'll nigh fatal.
Now, on the contrary, if they had
been started in soil no richer than
the field in which they are destined
to grow, they would have become
tough and stocky, and when removed
to the field would have been much bet
ter prepared to withstand the shock.
With all young things, plants as
well as animals, the object should be
to make them hardy. Many people
think the soil of the seed bed should
be rich in order to insure germina-
ton of the seed. The greatest essen
tial is moisture. If seeds are sown
nearly or quite on the surface and
kept we'll watered and shaded, for a
few days there will be no trouble to
get them to terminate. Take the
word of an old gardener for this.-L.

cranberries in the Cape Cod district
this seaon,'' said Mr.. Harvey P. Miller.
Other reports indicate that there will
not be to exceed one-half crop. The
cranberry is something that will be
missed, and until lately, nothing has
been found to take its place. The
sand hills of South Florida, in the ia
maica sorrel, is producing in abund-
ance a perfect substitute. There are
many who prefer sorrel to the best
Cape Cod cranberry. 1t is plant of
the hibiscus family. In fact it's name
(hibiseus subdorifa) is indicative as to
what part of the vegetable kingdom it
belongs. 1t is a plant that is sour,
root, stem, leaf and branch, and an an
nual, fruiting from seed in December
that was planted in spring. Twelve
hundred plants can be grown upon
an acre each plant producing from
four quarts to a half bushel of fruit.
1t can be canned, made into jelly,
marmalade, pies, buildings, vinegar,
wines, and Intoxicating liquors. 1t
makes fine dressing for the Christ
mas turkey. It's leaves are cooked as
greens. 1t can be shipped most any
distance and arrive in perfect shape
for cooking. 1t was introduced here
from seed procured in Australia. II
the South Florida fruit growers would
make an attempt to put the fruit of
this plant upon the market, there is
no question but what it would find a
ready sale, but now it is only produc-
ed as the New York state farmer pro-
duces currants, an abundance for his
own use and some for his neighbors
perhaps, but none for market.-Peter

Frost Protection.


Kains of the Department of Agricul-
ture has prepared for Garden and
Forest the following interesting state
ment of the results of preventive
measures in France:
The practice of smudging is more
ancient than is usually supposed. De
Serre, prominent agriculturist of the
sixteenth century, recommended it,
and it is even said to have been favor
ably spoken of by Pliny. In Wurtem-
berg in 1896 the men were divided in
to companies of about 20 under cap
tain to protect certain assigned dis
tricts, and were called out by an
alarm given by regular Waterman.
I lis service was compulsory, since ar
ticle of the rules reads that who
ever 'shall re1use to obey shall be
prosecuted before the bailiwick and
receive exemplary punishment"
Even long after the practica bility or
frost prevention had been demonstrate
ed, fruit growers, instead of testing
the metho DDS, as a rule continued to ac-
cept it's ravages as thing to be ex>
pected, but not avoided. But of late
years they have commenced to see the
benefits derived, and the use Of
smudges has been growing in POPULAR
ity. These are made of almost any
substance, such as dampened straw,
manure, tar, sawdust, crude kero>
sene; in fact anything which will pro-
duce smouldering fire with much
smoke and little blaze. Besides these
substances various compositions have
been put upon the French and other
markets. One Of these, Lestout's (con-
sidered the best), is sold in the form
of bricks, which weigh sixteen pounds
and cost about Is cents each. They
are placed about thirty feet apart, and
lighted at the approach of danger. A
tract of about 1900 acres may be pro-
tected by 800 of these bricks at a cost
of about one cent per hour for the ma
terial. The smudge formed will, in
still weather, be effective for about
two hours, when it may be renewed
if necessary. In many orchards and
vineyards these smudges are fired au~
toma tically by various devices. These
are not often satisfactory, since the
machine lights all fires at once, in
which case, if there be but a slight
breeze, the smoke from the leeward
smudges is lost, while that from the
windward fires is liable to be too
much diluted with air to DE effective.
A district rather than an isolated
plantation should be protected. This
is best accomplished by organized eff
fort on the part Of all proprietors
owning crops liable to injury. One
such company of 115 growers was
formed at Moulis. Their operations
were very successful. The cost Of pro-
lection was only 25 cents thousand
vines for the season, a figure which
could not be reached by individual
protection.
The success attending the applica-
ton of protective methods may be
still further seen in the. following
cases: At Lussac, in Medoc, on April

A great many toys are now made in

A huckster was going along an east
side street early one morning making
the welkin ring with his singsong of
"Po-ta- t-o-o-o-es, toma-t-o-o-es! Nice
sweet cooking appools!'' AS he drove
slowly along he lifted his eyes to the
windows on either side of the street
Suddenly there appeared a woman S
head at window in one of the top flats
The huckster pulled in his horse and
raised his ear to listen to the commands
he expected would be coming, but the
woman had not the lung power to make
her voice carry SO far, and the huckster
called out, "How's that?'
Again the woman called, and her
voice came down family. The huckster
didn' It know whether she wanted pota-
toes, cantaloupes, tomatoes or corn. So
he marked the fourth fat from the cor
ner and motioned that he would drive
around to the alley. The woman was
there waiting for him and called out
once more, but he couldn't understand
her
Gathering a handful of samples of
various vegetables from his stock, he
mounted four flights of back stairs and
arrived at the top painting. The woman
stood there awaiting his coming.
"Couldn hear what you sail, lady, "
said the huckster $50 l brought up
some of each kind an you can pick what
you want an I'll go down an get 'em. ;"
"Want?" said the woman, who was
in towering rage. "Want? don t
want none of your old vegetables. What
want is for you to stop hollerin in

The huckster stood with set eyes and
dropping jaw, the perspiration dropping
off his chin, while this harangue was
going on When she had finished, he
came out of his trance and said:
Is that what you called me all the
way up here for? Send fer yer p'lice,

and out of the alley and up the street
