NOES ON Pecan Culture.

II is a common error to plant the trees
too thickly. The proper number of trees
per acre is from "a to q. Say AXE feet
or 4Ox4O.
Ten acres would make very nice grove,
which would aggregate $40 to 30 trees.
A rich sandy soil is the best for the
pecan if you have a choice of soil. If
an orchard is started on poor, quilted clays
the likelihood is that only disappointment
will ensue.
In starting have the soil laid off-42x42 or
40x40-and prepare hills at the intersection
as carefully as you would in the case of
peaches or apples, so as to start the young
tree off right.
Three selected nuts should be planted
in each HILL having them in triangle
twelve inches apart. Do not be in too, big
a hurry to thin down to one, but leave
at least two for fully a year; if the soil
is very poor even longer than that. Then
carefully examine the young trees and
leave the strongest looking.
AS soon as the young tree is well start
ed, say three feet high, pillow out land
on each side to the width of five feet at
least, broadcasting eight to ten pounds
of ground bone all about the tree, six to
eight feet in every direction. Keep down
all spontaneous growth just about the
tree with the hoe.
OF course the ground between the young
trees can be cultivated IN several crops
for a number of years after planting the
pecan-peas will be the best, but any an
nuAl leguminous crop that is ameliorat-
ing in it's tendency can be used. If pre-
ferred or deemed desirable peaches can
be grown in the mddles to be cut out in
the course of seven or eight or ten years.
Great care should be used not to tnJure
the young pecans with the pillow. The
trees should be protected with a stake or
two 1t will be much better to grow some
crop on the land, and crop as will in

not the kind to use.
The "paper SHELF is the kind to be pro-
cured which can be procured from various
persons in Texas and other points. Some
of these nuts are so large that 1t requires
only about forty to weigh a pound.
These should be procured fresh in the
fall and planted out as soon as possible
thereafter. After the trees have begun to
grow rapidly a mulch can be used to great
advantage in keeping steady supply of
moisture and keeping weeds in check.
To conclude. DO not waste time and
money by planting pecans on worn out
clays.
Good land must be used, and on such
land you will begin TO get some returns in
the course of eight or nine years.

courage 1t.
One of the reports of the educational
department of England has special
table devoted to the subject of the
admission of women to university life,
says the Chicago Tribune. Inquiries
have been instituted as to the arrange
ments made for women students at 1862
of the universities of the civilized ma
tions in both hemispheres. and 130 re-
plies were received. The questions
asked were: Are women admitted as
members of the universities? Are they
admitted on the same terms as men?
Are they admitted to lectures? Are
they admitted to examinations? Are
they eligible for university degrees?
1t is significant of the advanced lib
eralism of Scotland and Wales that
their five universities have no answer
but "Yes" to make, save as regards
certain medical courses in the north
country. Australia, India and Canada
also answer: YES" and Toronto
proudly says: mo advantage is grant
ed to men which is not open to wom-
en-" New Zealand gives practically the
same reply. France, Belgium. Holland,
Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzer-
land. Greece, Italy. and, of course. the
United States have almost unbroken
columns of yes" The great sinners Of
Europe are Germany, Austria and Rus
sia.
