The Farm journal, which tells how to
do this: On high and drained sol. pillow
out "a wide furrow by running back and
forth with two horse pillow and set
cabbages in this in double row, heads
down, and then turn burrows back,

corn knife just above ground and com
pletely cover both stalk and head with
earth.

Night Air.

such an idea3 Since the day of creation

FORGING HOUSE CROPS.
Commercial Fertilizers Used With Profit
at tho Connecticut Station.

Commercial Fertilizers Used with Profit
at the Connecticut station.
4 series of experiments to determine
the amount of nitrogen, phosphoric acic
and potash forcing house crop will usa
and if the addition is profitable has been
made by the Connecticut station 1895
annual report. In the test two kinds of
soil were employed. One was a compost
consisting of thick turf to which one
third its bulk of stable manure had been
added. The other consisted of 300
pounds of coal ashes mixed with about
one third of a pound of pure calcium
carbonate and nine pounds of moss peat,
such as is sold in city stables for bed
ding. The results are briefly summa-
rized as follows in The New England
Homestead;
With tomatoes the crop started i'll
September began to bear i'll December,
but was only seven tenths as large as
the one started three months later, when
the amount of sunlight was greater.
The largest quantities of fertilizer used
by any one crop was equal to 3 pounds
10 ounces nitrate of soda, pound dis
solved bone black and pound IL ounces
muriate of potash per 100 square feet Of
bench space. The crop amounted to l. 0
pounds Of tomatoes per square foot
Other crops amounting TO 1.S pounds
took no more fertilizing material from
the soil. To enable plants to get these
fertilizing materials as required, they
must be in the 6oiI IN large excess. Dur.
ing the first TIVE Weeks, the yiaid of to-
matoes from the compost soil was larg-
est, but the total yield for the season
Was greatest on the soil made up of
ashes and peat Two-fifths of the crop
from coal ashes and peat was harvested
within one week. The roots growing on
this soil were not affected by gals.
Using the same kind of soils for rad
ishes, it was shown that by the aid of
commercial fertilizers just as good a
crop could be raised upon the ashes and
peat as upon the compost, although
those planted III the latter matured IA
little more quickly than the others. One
thousand punches, tops included, took
from the soil fertility equivalent to 2
pounds and 1 ounce nitrate of soda,
10 ounces dissolved bone black and Is a
muriate of potash. An average Of 5l8
square feet of bench space was required
to raise | 900 lunches of radishes.
With cucumbers 100 square feet of
bench space filled with rich compost
produced 85H pounds of cucumhers.
From an equal area filled with bitumi
nous coal ashes and peat, SO pounds
were harvested Asa source of nitrogen,
nitrate of soda and cottonseed meal
were about equally efficient in the coal
ashes and peat, but with the compost,
cottonseed meal was decidedly more
effective

WhiteMRstllng.

There are many poultry raisers who get
along entirely without the use of white
wash. But it is certainly one of the most
helpful adjunCts to success with fowls.
In the form of thin cream, it is easily ap-
piled with small force pump. 1t not on
ly sweetens the quarters as nothing else
will, but the reflection from white walls
makes the pens appreciably lighter, and
thus adds much to the fowls. Lime in
every form is an enemy OF vermin. And
it seems as though every argument were
in favor of the use of whitewash We
have never heard one against it, unless
the fact that it is some trouble to use it
may be considered such.--IMfy2caH

Black Knot Surgery.

Black knot should be doctored by a

without such surgery, there is not ghost

The oat is natural food for horses at
any age. 1t has just the kind of nutrition
to make the muscle and bone, and, colnoin-
ed with exercise, these are the basis of
strength, 1t is especially important that
the colt should begin to develop muscle at
an early age. If he is allowed free room
in which to run, the colt fed few oats
daily will do all else that is needed. He
will even groom himself by rolling on the
ground or in the snow when snow is on
the ground. Besides, pint of oats twice
a day, making only quart day, will
keep the colt growing, when with only
hay he will have a rough, staring coat and
grow very little the first winter. What is
worse, the colt thus underfed is likely to
have its digestion injured. The bull Of
the oat prevents it from injuring the colt
when fed in such small quantities. To-
wards spring the amount of oats may be
increased to quart at each feeding. At a
quart day it is less than a bushel a per
month, and at the largest it is less than
two bushels per month. What is ten
bushels of oats in comparison with the in
creased value OF thrifty horse instead Of
having an unthrifty one?

The ALIEN LAND AEI,

Delegate Catron's alien act having
passed both houses of congress, brief
review of the same becomes opportune,
upon, the assumption that many of our
fellow citizens have not had opportunity
of becoming acquainted with it's provis-
ions which would seem to be of prime
interest to every resident of New Mexico.
Upon the first reading this measure er
countered considerable opposition, but
that grim determination which has won
upon so many occasions for Mr.. Oatron,
came into play in this instance, and the
measure finally passed both houses, for
which New Mexico's representative at
Washington deserves much credit.
The title of the act, declares its purpose
to better define and regulate the rights of
aliens to hold and own real estate in tine
territories, and it provides that no alien
or person who is not citizen of the
United States, or who has not declared
his intention to become a citizen of the
United States in the manner provided by
law, shall acquire title to or own any
land in any of the territories of the
United States, provided that this prohi-
bition shall not apply to cases in which
the right to hold or dispose of lands in
the United States is secured by existing
treaties to citizens or sub ects of foreign
countries which rights so far as they may
exist by force of any such treaty, shall
continue to exist SO long as such treaties
are in force, and no longer.
This act does not apply to land now
held in the territories by aliens, which
was acquired prior to March 3, 1897, nor
to t.ny alien who shall become a bona
fde resident of the United States, or
shall have declared his intention to be-
come citizen of the United States in the
manner provided by law, shall have the
right to acquire and hold lands in either
of the territories, NJ on the same terms as
citizens of the United States. This act
shall not be construed to prevent any
persons not citizens of the United States
from acquiring or holding lots or par
cells of lands in any incorporated or
plated city, town or village, or in any
mine or mining claim, in any of the ter
ritories. This act does net prevent aliens
from acq hiring lands, or any interests
therein by inheritance, nor from lending
money and securing the same upon real
estate, nor from enforcing any such lien,
nor from acc uiring and holding title to
any such real estate.
Section 5 provides that it shall be the
duty of the attorney general Of the United
States when he shall have reason to be-
lieve that land in the territories is being
held contrary to the provisions Of this
act to institute suit In behalf of the United
States in the district court of the terri
tory wherein the contested land is situated,
giving notice of 80 days to the alleged
owner thereof of his intention to COM
mence such suit

WEyleR'S RESIGNATION.

The press dispatches yesterday contain
the very welcome news that General Wey-
Ter, offended at the course of his govern
ment in debating a policy concerning
American prisoners In Cuba, had tea
dered his resignation. This may be true,
but it must be remembered that he has
resigned before, and from similar causes,
so that the people here come to take
whatever they hear of this Spanish
butcher, cum grano soils.
1t is well to take everything that comes
from Cuba these times, in the shape of
news with even more than grain of salt.
The only method of arriving at the truth
in this dense tangle of Cuban dispatches,
recorded one day only to be contradicted
on the next, is to await the action of time
and events. Acting upon this, it is not
safe to jubilate overmuch over piece
of news, that is news indeed, if it be true.
This man during few months of COM
mand, has made his name known over all
the world as the most blood thirsty in
human creature of modern times. He
has burned hospitals filled with wounded
soldiers, with gusto of savage enjoy
ment that in comparison would make a
Nero seem a Christian martyr.
We know that these things are true be-
cause time has attested their truthfulness
and it is only fair to assume that the half
has not been told 1t is hardly reason
able to suppose that the full horrors of
the situation could be told under rigid
press censorship that takes strict cog
nizance of every word of news sent from
the island
