HITTING THE INNOCENT.

The God in Israel" as the journal of
the Opposition calls the Presidents
proclamation declaring void all sale of
Government lands since the passage
Of the Newlands' Resolution, was in
voked by that journal in order to
empty Walls of wrath upon the Dole
Government. But instead of doing
what he was cordially invited and ex-
pected to do, he leaves the Dole Gov
eminent and turns the hose of his
wrath upon innocent citizens. Ii is the
case Of the college professor who
bought dog for the purpose of driv-
ing out the chickens of his neighbors
which were marauding in his garden.
The dog instead of driving off the
thieving chickens, disobeyed his in
structions the first night he was on
duty, got into the professors chicken
house and killed his whole colony of
fowls
This political deity, invoked by the
enemies of the Dole Government, is do
ing mischief in every direction but the
right one" The American residents
of Hawaii complain that all movements
for securing homesteads are suspended
Those who have, with much sacrifice
of time and money, made homes for
themselves, are in trouble about their
titles. Some of those who purchased
Government lands, after annexation
have sold out and left the country,
while the innocent purchasers of their
lands now hold titles that are void,
according to the Presidents proc,ama-
ton.
The doings of this deity on this ISL
and are extremely mischievous. The
most important local Improvement, the
extension of rapid transit to the subur-
ban sections, is arrested, because this
deity declares that the local govern
chises to use the streets. Those who
have purchased property in the outly-
ing districts, and desire to build resi-
dences, have no assurance whatever
the near future. Projects for develop
ing land for occupation must be aban-
doned, until the President modifies or
reverses his order, and the Attorney
General advises him to do So
The largest part of the speculative
movement in real estate during the
last year has depended upon quick COM
munication. This is now deferred by
the Attorney Generals opinion, until
Congress shall act in the matter.
In the mean time the local govern
ment, having acted under instructions
in the beginning, does not bother about
the wrath of this deity while the COM

A New Fig.

j. l.. Normand, of Marksville, La,
writes to Dr.. Ragland of Farm and
Ranch, of the qualities of several new
figs, but says:
"My choice of all the varieties l have
fruited is the New French fig, re-
markable for it's keeping qualities.
have had some correspondence, both
from this country and abroad in order
to locate the origin of this fig. Prof. M.
J. Heade, of Tallahassee, Fla, who
had occasion to visit Italy some years
ago, writes me:
An article by you, published in sew
eral papers, describes a fig similar to
one [ found in Italy many years ago,
and which I have tried in vain to find
in this country. From your descrip-
ton it must be the New French. 1t
was the most delicious fig 1 ever ate.
Il attribute the remarkable keeping
qualities of this fig to the amount of
saccharine matter it contains, so much
so that thick, honey substance flows
at the bloom end Of the fruit, and as
it thoroughly ripenS this hardens up
to the consistency of a semi-transpar-
the small hole leading to the cavity of
the fruit at the apex by sealing itself
up so that no heterogeneous can
have access to the inside of the fruit.
Thus, the meat of the fig is excluded
from the influence of the surrounding
contaminated moist atmosphere.
II have demonstrated to my entire
satisfaction that l can ship this fig in
fresh state to any of our Northern
cities with success. | am planting
largely of it in orchards to produce
fruit to ship where good price can
be obtained
81 propagate the fig by cuttings and
budding. The best time to set out the
cuttings is in the month Of August
They will have made a good set OF
roots to better withstand the winter
than those set out later. / simply
mulch the cuttings with manure or
straw on the approach of cold weather,
and in the spring most of them start
out to grow, and some of them bear
few fruits. [ am also prOpagating
them by budding. [ use the Celeste
fig as a stock to bud on with success.
l am budding some this month and
expect to continue on budding till the
latter part of September. The fig does
as we'll on it's own roots, but the rea-
son [ bud them is to economic the
wood, which is so much in demand
now. The fig can also be propagated
by single eyes set out in thumb pots
during the winter in a glass house
with artificial bottom heat"
The Ruralist is hopeful that the New
French fig will prove, on general in
PRODUCTION, all that Mr.. Normand
claims for it. We infer that freezing
down of the trees propagated from cut
tings but puts them back for year or
two as they sprout up Immediately
from the roots, and we trust it will be
a valuable accession to all fig growing
sections of the South.

Fertilizer Formulae For Cotton.

TO determine the manurlal require
ments of cotton, and though these ex-
periments have been made in nearly
all the States of the cotton belt and on
many kinds of soils, the subject has
not by any means been settled. Bull
letin 33, issued by the Office of Expert
ment Stations, U. S. Department of
very fully and recommends the follow
ing formula for fertilizer:
Ammonia, 3h per cent Potash, 3
per cent Available Phos. Acid per
cent
This formula is a practical summary
of many combinations of fertilizer
which have been fairly successful in
actual field tests. 1t is a general for
mula, suggested for average condi-
tons as nearly as can be determined.
However, soils differ widely in differ
ent sections of the country and more
detailed study of the treatment of typi-
cal soils is given below. The nature
noted in compromising a fertilizer.
The previous cropping of the soil, and
it's physical character are very impor-
tant matters If a rotation is practic-
ed, it has a very considerable bearing
Oh the fertilizer.
Light, Sandy Soil-These soils are
Of hn min
very deficient in available potash.
The formula suggested for fertilizer is
as follows where green manuring has
not been practiced:
Amomnia, 3 per cent; potash, 4 per
cent; phosphoric acid, per cent.
1t is understood, of course, that the
percentage of phosphOric acid given in
these formulate is confined wholly to
what is known as "available'' phOs-
phoric acid. Where green-manuring has
been practised, the ammonia may be
reduced to one OF twOp er cent, de-
pending upon the extent Of the green
manuring (and sometimes omitted
from the formula) and the phosphoric
acid increased to s per cent, to cOun-
teract tendency to 'weediness" from
too free supply of ammonia. In
either case the application per acre
should be from 600 to 500 pounds Of
fertilizer. Applications of 1000 pounds
Of fertilizer per acre, and over, have
been made very prOfitably in cases
where the soil has been kept in good
condition and thoroughly worked. An
application of less than 800 pounds per
acre tends to impOverish the soil, as in
this case the fertilizer acts somewhat
as a stimulant, and causes the plant
: to withdraw from the soil more fertil-
izer than was applied. While this may
not seem a serious injury at the time,
if persisted in, the soil must sooner or
later became totally impoverished,
Sandy Loan Soils.-The suggested
formula of fertilizer for this type of
soil, when not worked in rotation, is
as follows:
Ammonia, per cent; potash, 31s per
cent phosphoric acid, per cent.
Where green-manuring has been
practised, reduce the ammonia and in
crease the phOSphOric acid to eight per

cent; available phosphoric acid, s per

InlS formula may DE CONSIDERED as
fairly normal one for first class cotton
soils, which are to receive chemical
manures only. These soils contain
considerable organic matter, and
somewhat free supply of phosphoric
acid is needed to hasten maturity.
Greenmanuring is very rarely an adj
vantage on such soil already rich in
organic matter, as the organic matter
tends TO invite a Weedy growth, with
little lint. 1t is often difficult to bal
ance leguminous supplies Of nitrogen
with liberal applications of potash and
phosphoric acid, as the availability of
the legume nitrogen continues up to
frost, making maturity imperfect, with
the natural result of low grade lint.
This is found to be the case on the Mis-
sississippi delta and river coast muck
lands. Maturity can be forced by
means of heavy applications of phOs>
phoric acid, but such procedure is not
an economical one.
Clay-loam Soils.-These soils being
more or less compact, prevent a rapid
nitrificatiOn of organic matter; that is,
the plant food in green manures is
not made available for the growing
plant as rapidly in clay soils as in light
er soils. In the fall, clay soils almost
totally check nitrifcation by drying
off at an early period. Where green
manuring is not practiced the fertili-
ger formula should be:
Ammonia, per cent. Potash, 3 per
cent Phosphoric Acid, per cent.
When green-manuring has been prac-
ticed, the ammonia may be reduced or
even omitted and the phosphoric acid
increased to per cent. The .applica-
ton per acre ranges from 500 to 1900
pounds, and if the tillage is properly
looked after, the latter amount will be
found the most profitable.
Clay Soils-Clay soils are naturally
very stiff and are improved by green
manuring, or by being worked in rota-
ton. If not green-manured, use the
same formula recommended for clay
loans and reduce the potash to 21h
per cent. The application per acre
should be the same as for clay loans.
Some heavy soils are derived from de-
composed feld-spar; such soils require
very little potash, and that ingredient
may be reduced in the formula as
given above. A few sections have
exceptionally deep and unmanageable
clay soils, and these sometimes have
naturally a good supply of potash. In
such cases the potash in the formula
may be reduced to about 2 per cent.
When and How to Apply Fertilizer.
When the drill is used distribute the
fertilizer in deep furrow, and mix it
by running the scooter burrows through
it In large applications it will be
good practice to divide the quantity
between the center furrow and the
two listing burrows. The simplest
method is, to open a furroW and SOW
the fertilizer through the drill, cover
ing with a harrow or bedding on it
with a turned plow. If the weather is
windy, it will be found advantageous
to drop the fertilizer through a long
tin tube, and thus prevent it from
