Word came to town last Saturday of
the arrival at A. j. Balls place near
Maitland, of a young lady stranger.
She seems pleased with her location,
and will undoubtedly make her home
here.
Miss Agness Kent departed for her
old home in Indiana ON Monday even

Several of the citizens of Edgemont
who seemed dissatisfied with the ticket
nominated by the railroad party, met
last Friday and nominated ID. K.
Snively as mayor and d. Ii. Walker as
justice of the peace. There is a rumor
now that as the nominations of the
other party we're. not filed and pub
lished according to law, the election
will be illegal.
Quite an interesting case came up
before Justice Nickerson for trial last
Monday. 1t appears from testimony
given that me saddle, the property of
d. j. Walker, of Maitland, was taken
from his horse which was tied on the
streets of Edgemont, at about 1890
Friday night. This horse, together
with another, was also cut loose. AS
Fred Pulver had sold his saddle the
evening before, and was later seen
putting another on a train, suspicion
at once pointed to him. kilograms
disclosed the fact that he had got off
the train at Alliance, with the saddle.
Geo. Miller went down and returned
Monday morning with the prisoner in
charge. In trial both sides we're ably
represented, the prosecution by F.. M.

Convill. The justice decided that the
evidence given was sufficient to war
rant his being bound over to await the
action of the circuit court.

Farmers Institute at Pomona.

Taking advantage of the proposition
of the State Agricultural College to as
sist the various sections of the State
in holding farmers institutes, the en-
terprising people Of the Pomona, Put
nam county, section, arranged for an
institute which was held last week
under the leadership of DR.. Stock
bridge, and proved most interesting
and instructive.
We extract the following report of
the last session of the institute from
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-03-15

showed by analysis 3 57-1O0 per cent.
Mr.. Moody, of LOckpOrt, used $4,000
bushels on the basis of 1-3 per cent,
but which actually contained but Is
per cent. The actual source of pot
ash salts are kainit, muriate of potash
and sulphate of potash. Kainit is a
fraud. 1t is popular as the original
form of potash salt. Other forms are
far more concentrated. 1t is used now
not on it's merit but it's representation.
Kainit contains but 10 per cent. of
potash; the muriate from so to SO per
cent Contrast the twO-kainit with
10 per cent. at $13 per ton, and the
muriate with 51% per cent. at from
$40 to $43 per ton, nearly four and
One-half times the value at a trif1e
more than three times the cost.
DiscussiOn.-MajOr Healey: ''Is
there not certain insecticide properties
in kainit?''
DR.. Stockbridge: "Kainit contains
salt and to that property, in both mu-
fldCe ana KalnlC are tne luSecClcludl
properties due"
The discussion following was most
interesting in which Messrs. Healy,
Woodwork, Harp and others joined
DR.. Stockbridge, meeting all the ques-
tons and proving by analysis and eX>
periments that muriate of potash was
the cheaper and better form to use.
One other point was noted-that was
that one receives quotations as fol-
lows: High grade sulphate of potash,
90 to 95 per cent. pure at $45 per ton.
This is either an unfortunate express
sion or an intention to deceive, as
even 60 per cent. absolutely pure was
impossible. The question was asked
why could one not get private analy-
sis from the experiment station. Was
it not supported by the taxation of
those asking it?
DR.. Stockbridge in reply to this
stated that the experiment station
was purely a national affair, supported
by the government and receiving it's

Following the discussion on the pa
per prepared by Mr.. B. N. Bradt on
"Value of Humus,' a selection by the
orchestra was given and enjoyed. w.
NJ. Bennett, announced to speak on
good roads, being absent, DR.. Stock
bridge followed with an instructive
talk on "Fertilizers and Crop Feed
ing" Before entering on this topic
DR.. StOckbridge stated that he had
been req&ested to speak on the sub
ject of cane, it is cultivation and its
utilization. That later in the day he
would do so, adding further that it
was his sole purpose and desire to as
sist the agriculturalist and if any
question suggested itself to his hearers
he hoped they would ask them then
and there. Taking up the subject of
fertilizers he said this is a many-sided
topic. The most important points to
be considered are the character of the
soil and the character of the crops to
be grown. There are certain under
lying basic principles that are univer,
sal. Referring to the impression that
Florida was particularly unfortunate
in the poverty of it's soil, wished to
relieve the misapprehension. Compar-
lSOnS were made with other portions
of the country. Americans are a
race of robbers-by their plan of con-
tinually robbing the soil have they
brought about these conditions.
The question of fertilizing touches
us in a vital point-our pockets-and
we now ask how can we the most
economically fertiliZe, in what form
and how best for the least money. We
all know that three essential elements
of fertility are nitrogen, phosphoric
acid and potash. Nitrogen predomi-
mates in the elements. How can this
ineXhaustible fund be supplied? BY
leguminous plants-cOw peas, velve1
beans and beggar weed. Of this trio
the velvet bean is preferred-in that
the cow pea requires a reasonably fer
tile soil, while the velvet bean will
grow and thrive where the cow pea
can not. One comparison given-2O
bushels of velvet beans, the average
yield to the acre, actually contains the
same amount Of nitrogen as 500 lbs
Of nitrate of soda, and to that extent
can the velvet bean be used instead.
Whatever the material used the
thought must be to get the element
in it's most available form. Nitrogen
appears in several different organic
or combined forms yet unavailable
Unfortunately there is no protection
against fraud in the mixed commercial
fertilizers, the analysis would say such
per cent of nitrogen, but as to Wheth-
er available or not was not stated.
For instance the refuse of tanyards
while containing the nitrogen, yet it
was in a form that was not available.
The second necessary component,
phOsphOric acid, is home product.
A prevailing sentiment conceives a
difference in the utility of phOsphOric
acid from bone as better than the
rock This is fallaciOus. The phOs-
phoric acid derived from Florida phos-
plate is just as good, just as availa-
BILE and the mineral is cheaper Hence
there is every reason to patronize the

SOILS. IL must, however, DE femem'
bered that on such soils there is more
or less danger that some portion OF
the valuable fertilizing constituents
may be leached out and lost. On this
account it is found advisable to apply
such manure to light soils only a short
time before it is needed by the crop
In general, rotted manure is better
adapted to spring applications. 1t is
better to apply rotted manure on light
soils at frequent intervals in small
amounts. In warm, moist climates, il
makes much less difference whether
the manure is applied in fresh or rot
ted condition. In cold climates, how
ever, the use of decOmposed manure
is preferable.
Three methods of applying manure
ON the field are in common practice.
Applying in Heaps. By this meth
cd the manure is distributed in heaps
over the field and permitted to lie
some time before being spread. This
method is Objectionable for several
reasons. The labor of handling is in
creased; there is danger of loss from
decomposition and teaching; the ma
nure is not uniformly distributed, the
spots beneath the heaps being more
thoroughly MANFRED on account of the
teaching. Storing manure in very
large heaps is less Objectionable, pro
vided the heap is carefully covered
with earth and not allowed to lie toe
long.
Applying Broadcast. BY this meth
cd the manure is spread more or less
completely and evenly on the field, be-
ing ploWed in at once or allowed to
lie some time ON the surface. This is
preferably practiced on the level field
where there is little danger from sur
face washing. In late fall and early
spring, there is likely to be very lit
tie loss of nitrogen. On a loose soil
there may be loss from teaching, il
the manure is spread long before the
crop is put into the soil; but in aver
age experience this is not apt to be-
advantage of uniform distribution az
the liquid portion is evenly by degrees
mixed with the soil. When manure is
leached of it's soluble nitrogen com
pounds, it does not decompose sc
readily. On this account, it is well
in case of light or porous soils, to pillow
the manure in as soon as spread. In
regard to the depth at which manure
should be plowed in, it is safe to say
that in very compact soils, the depth
should not be greater than four inches
while in lighter soils the depth may
be increased. 1t is important that the
manure be near enough the surface tc
allow access of sufficient moisture and
air, in order that decomposition may
not be too much delayed.
Applying in Rows. This method
has the advantage of placing the ma
nure where it will reach the plant
most quickly and of enabling one to
use smaller amounts than in broad
casting. 1t is especially applicable
for forcing some garden crops. Rot
ted manure gives good results when
used this way.
