Italians can afford to undertake

Dor is so cheap i'll their country. But
is it cheap? Take the actual money
outlay expended on the groves Of
Northern Italy, for instance, from ST.
600 to- $4,000 per acre by the time they
come into bearing. 1t would be diff
cult for Florida growers to eXpend
that amount upon their groves unless
they covered them with grass. Take
the labor performed i'll Il day by the
Italian grove hands. One writer, an

are kept continuously over the trees
throughout the winter, until March.
They have there twelve to fourteen
inches of snow. and if a snowflake or Il
hail stone should strike a lemon it
it would be spotted and ruined. These
hurdles are very light, cheap and east
ly made, and they are stored away and
kept from year to year.
In Sicily-ArOmd Palermo there
are Windbreaks of eucalyptus trees,
planted on the exposed sides of the
groves for protection. Rows of wild
cane are planted thickly not only on
exposed sides, but between every
fourth or fifth rows of trees. High
frame works of cane are erected to
break the force of the wind. High
walls are sometimes used, and the
sheltered hillsides are terraced. with

he will place around the trees and pro-
tect with One-burner oil stove. The
lumber used is second or third class,
which, however, answers this purpose
finely as it is light and can be rsed
more than one year.
From all of the different plans used
we surely will get some valuable data
this winter unless the season should
be a very open one and no cold snaps
happen to test the efficiency of the
different devices. We hope, however,
that the cycle of cold seasons has
passed and that we may again enjoy
a series of warm winters that will en-
able us to get back our fruiting trees
without the use Of sheds, tents, u1'
other protective devices.

SOIL Fertility and LcguminOus
PIuntS

There are about IA elements which are
necessary for the health, growth and de-
velopment of ali plants, writes Professor
Mumford of the Missouri Experiment Sta
ton. The most important of these are nj
trogen, phosphorus, potash, lime mag
nesium iron, sulphur. carbon, hydrogen.
oxygen, sodium, chlorine and silicon OF
these only three need to be seriously con-
sidered in a discussion on SOL fertility. for
the reason that all the other elements are
present in al lordinarily fertile soils in
sufficient quantities, so that they are sell
dom exhausted. The three elements that
may be removed from the soil by continued
crop production are nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash. OF these three elements
nitrogen is the most important because
unlike phosphoric acid and potash, it is
not found i'll appreciable quantities in the
original rock. Soil is decomposed rock.
therefore the decomposition and disinte-
grafton of soils is continually supplying
more potash and more phosphoric acid
whereas nitrogen must be supplied from
some external source. The atmosphere is
composed very largely of nitrogen and it
was finally definitely determined that one
family of plants, the legumonosae Glover,
cowpeas) were able by the aid of certain
mcro-organisms n the soil 10 fix the free
for the use Of plants
The consideration of nitrogen in relation
to soil fertility is important also because
of the properties of this element or all
the elements Of plant growth, nitrogen Is
the most tickle, unstable and unreliable
II forms no stable compounds. 1t contin-
uHliy exhibits tendency to Seave its
chemical combination. For this reason it Is
eminently fitted for the life processes
which require continued changes In the
plant. But this peculiar tendency of nitro
gen makes il a very difficult element for
the farmer to control 1t is costly. At cur
rent prices for commercial fertilizers, nj
trogen is rated al 15c per pound, whereas
potash and phosphoric acid are each rated
at only DC per pound The amount of nitro
gen in any given soil and even in a fertile
soil is limited. In some fertile soils IL has
been determined that there is sufficient pot
ash to produce crops of wheat exclusively
for 80 years, enough phosphoric acid to

How balloons Are Made.

From the Pan Mall Magazine
The balloons are manufactured of gold
heaters skin, which. though small toy
ones had been made of it, could not he
produced in sufficient quantities for che
large balloons until Col Templer invented
and perfected The process, which Is briefly
as follows;
The goldheaters' skin is made up OF
quantities of a certain thin animal mem
brane. $4,000 of which are required for a
balloon OF 10000 cubic feet capacity. which
is first freed from all fatty substances
and then soaked in a solution of glycerinc
and water. They are then applied TO
boards cut I'm the form and TO the size
of the gore of the balloon required:
others are then superposed, until a thick.
ness Of four layers had been reached
great care being taken that no air bub-
bles remain between the skins. After
this fourth layer a method Of strength
ening is resorted to- in the shape of net
manufactured of skin. After this net two
or three more layers OF membranes are
applied. The whole is then allowed TO dry
and a solution of boiled linseed Oil is used
as a varnish. The fabric is then quite in
dissolub.e, and the membranes cannot
by any possible means be separate from
one another, but sometimes, to render
this homogeneity the more perfect. a So
luiion Of bichromate Of potash is sponee1
over the fabric.
