Osier or willow culture on a large scale
is subject of which comparatively little
is known in this country yet it would seem
to be as profitable as many other lines of
agriculture which are extensively carried
on. The wiHow-ware industry has been
slowly Increasing in our Eastern states
of late years, but is yet in its infancy

land along our many rivers. portions of
the seacoast and of some uplands and
prairies not suitable for any other agri-
cultural pursuits, il is stated by those who
have investigated the subject invite CAPT.
tai and energy to invest in csier grow ne
for the manufacture of basket ware
With the idea of directing attention to
this subject and of helping those who
may be interested in this industry the
division of forestry has prepared a pam
Phlet on osier culture, treating fully Of
this crop.
According TO the census of 1880 the an
nual production of manufactured willow
ware amounted to $3.G33,000. and the in
crease of the material consumed was over
60 per cent. as compared with 1880
The question as to the kind of willow
to plant says Mr.. Simpson, the writer
of the pamphlet, is an extremely weighty
one, as an Osier plantation set with an
unsuitable kind of willow is failure from
beginning to end Out of $50 species or
willows and their numerous varieties and
hybrids, only a small number have been
found Of value, especially for basket MAX
ing.
The requirements of a good basket will
low are that it produces many slender
rods free from branches, that these rods
be soft and piable and of a white color
when peeled, and that the stocks produce
vigorously Cor a long period of years The
pith of the basket willow should be well
developed and form large part of the

European and native willows for use in
various parts of the United States. those

adapted to another
One Of the European osier willows, Sal

To Keep Lemons Fresh.

keeping lemons Indefinitely and think 1t
valuable enough for the Wisconsin IIorti-
culturist, writes a contributor to that pub
LEGATION. Ii was simply TO put them UNI
der an inverted goblet. on July r. 1885,
I put two lemons in separate glass jars.
One was a jar intended for jelly and had
a glass cover that set loosely on top. The
other was a jar with a ground glass stop
per. The former was kept in the panery
opening out of the kitchen and the latter
in a cupboard in the dining room. They
were examined from time 70 time and up
to December seemed to keep equally well,
when the one in the pantry froze and soon
after showed signs of molding. On Jan.
25, 1895, the other one was cut open and
proved TO be as fresh as to appearance.
Odor and taste as when first put away.

Good Preparation and Cultivation
Takes the Place of Manure.


After good blowing of the land, we want
thus early in the season to impress upon
our readers the Importance Of good cult
walton previous to planting We are
strongly of opinion, as the result of ex-
perience and observation, that our small
yields of crops are more to be attributed
to inefficient and insufficient cultivation
of the land previous to planting than to
any lack of plant food in the soil, says
the Southern Planter. This is largely
borne out by the experiment made at the
Cornell station in producing Irish pota-
toes without fertilizers, a report of when
experiment appears in this issue A far
higher degree of preparation Of the soil
before planting is always insisted upon in
England and Scotland than is common
here, and the result is seen in much heav-
Ter yields. Last year as much as seven
ty-two bushels of wheat per acre was
grown on large areas in England. and
that without more than normal applica-
tons of manure or fertilizers Deep and
frequent cultivation of the land before
planting is the secret Of the success there
made, and 1t has been found to be equally
as efficient here.
None of The heavy yields OF corn which
we have reported as produced In this
deep blowing and subsequent deep and
frequent cultivation of the land before
planting. The use of the harrow. cultiva-
tor and roller are of vital Importance in
securing a perfect seed bed, and the old
adage is as true to-day as ever, that "a
crop web planted is a crop half grown.
Prof. Roberts says, and no doubt saws
truly, that Since the soil and the sub
soil contain such stores of potential fer
tility, as analysis has abundantly demon
started, and since tap-rooted leguminous
plants bring to the surface abundant
quantities Of nitrogen with some mineral
matter, and since many fields receive ap-
phcations of farm manure from time TO
time, some far-reaching cause or causes
must be present ever tending d seriously
restrict production 1t will be found that
In this country the principal causes of
low yields of farm crops are Imperfect
preparation of the land. poor tillage and
hence a lack of available plant food and
insufficient moisture during some portion
OF the plants life"

Nitrogen. Pa

Except only as to pease and beans it will
ne seen that vegetables are not very ex-
haustlye 20 the soil. Pease and beans are
able 10 take most of their nitrogen from
the atmosphere. The table shows that
potash is the clement mostly drawn from
the soil, next TO nitrogen, and lastly pnos-
phoric acid. But nitrogen has a value for
early garden vegetables that chemical an
alysis does not show. Nitrogen forces early
growth and gives large succulent leaves
and stems. Potash gives soiidity and crisp
ness ana increases the sugar and starcAy
parts Of seeds, and forces early maturity
A good general fertilizer for all garden
vegetables, except beans and pease would
be the following mixture per acre, but ex-
tenslve market gardeners use two or three
times as much:
Suiphate of potash ..............150 to 225 lbs
SupeI-puOSpnate ........-........ go to 375 lbs
Nitrate OF SODA ............... $50 to 22J lbs
The fertilizer should be raked in lust be-
fore the seed is sown. For pease and beans
the normal amount of potash and phos-
phoric acid may be doubled and the nitrate
of soda reduced TO fifty pounds per acre.
The sulD1ate is the best available form
of potash for garden vegetables. as it con-
tains no chlorides or salt, and does NOT
make the soil cold. It also acts with es-
pecial faVorableness upon the starchy
portion of vegetables. Fresh or water
Stacked lime is always beneficial to garden
soil.

Railroad company was shot to death
in his private office in the Short

afternoon. His slayer was Capt
Frederick j. Mills, late of the Sec

The awful tragedy was the result
of alleged intimacy between O'Mel-

against 0'Melveney by Capt. Mills
was based upon confession made
by Mrs. Mills.
