AT Ell Caney the Ninth was In the
Third Brigade. under General Wikoff.
When the fighting commenced the
regiment was held back TO clear the
Spanlards from the heights Of El Pozo
This accomplished, the order to ad-

column of fours, swung along mar

was one of the most trying moments

Cost of RaIsInr What.

From Farmers Review: | wish to
call to your attention a reference
found in the Year Book of the
Department of Agriculture for 1899.
On page 316 you will find It stated that
the Improvement in methods has re.
duced vhe cost of human and animal
labor IN producing bushel of wheat
from four to one cent per bushel On
page 332 you will find II stated that t.
time required to produce a bushel Oh
asleat is on an average of ten minutes
and at cost of 31a cents per bushel
for human labor. You will observe
that these two statements do not agree
very well, since in one case they state
one cent per bushel for human and
animal labor and In the other case 1-3
cents per bushel for human labor.
However, think this slight discrep-
ancy is OF very small importance, since
they both to my mind are silly. BY re-
ferring to page 76O of the same book
you will find they state the average
bushels per acre to be 10 $40 for the
year 1899. submit that neither l2 $40
cents per acre nor Al cents per acre.
as In his second statement on page
352. is anywhere in the neighborhood
OF correct. as neither amount will nay
the man for plowing the ground to,
say nothing of other necessary labor.
/ notice in the forepart of the BOOK
here referred to that II was expected 10
distribute these books at the Paris Ex-
position. 1t is my opinion that il is
very unfortunate to send out unreliable
information to foreign countries and
almost equally so to our own people,
and am very much surprised that tn

would be pleased to have your opinion
OF the statements.-Thomas Penrose,
Pennsylvania.
The Farmers Review agrees with
Mr. Penrose that the figures published
by the Year Book as quoted by Mr..
Penrose are utterly absurd. Moreover.
II Is evident that the deductions were
made for the purpose of making a
case. They are certainly not credit
to the Department of Agriculture. In
the Year Book of 1898 was published a
table of the cost of producing wheat
In very State of the Union, and for the
country as a whole. This table was
headed Estimated cost of the prlnci.

ton of wheat and corn by States per

was this legend: Consolidated from
returns from over 1000 experts" The
general average cost per acre for the
country was as follows:

The flavor of the pineapple is so
agreeable that no one has to acquire a
taste for 1t. Pineapples are on the
market throughout the year, but those
sold at other times than during the
main crop season are too high priced a
luxury for the average man. The main
shipping season is from the middle of
April to the middle of July. The area
in the United States adapted to their
cultivation is considerable and can be
greatly extended. The largest tract or
Pineapple land is in Florida. Pine
apples can also be produced profitably
ON some land in southern California.
Although all of Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian Islands are free from frost
the soil and climate are not uniformly
adapted to their production. There is
more land in the Philippines adapted
to the production of pineapples than
will be utilized for several generations.
The pineapple supply OF the United
States is contributed to by Porto Rico,
the Bahama Islands, Jamaica, San Sal
vador and Trinidad.

The average amount of seed used
per acre was Ia bushels.
The yield OF wheat for 1898 was
396,l31.725 bushels. grown on 34,629, AIS
acres of land. The average yield per
acre was about 11.50 bushels, making
the cost of growing a bushel of wheat
that year about s1.00. In the figures
of cost per acre, labor is comprised in
the items preparing ground, sowing
harvesting, threshing. housing, mar
keting. The amount thus paid for
labor is s5.52, or nearly SO cents per
bdshel for the year 1898. About one
half the cost of raising wheat is in the
labor. The cost per acre of raising
wheat varies little from year to year.

horticultural Observations.
(Fronl the FARMERS Revlew. ]

ODserNatlOnss
(Froni the Farmers Review)
AS to the cultivation of orchards no
general rule can be laid down. We, In
common with others, advocate the cul-
tivation of orchards, but at the same
time we recognize that there are some
orchards that should not be cultivated.
Those are the ones that are on very
rich ground. This is especially the
case with young and growing orchards.
There is rate of growth that should
not be exceeded. In very rich ground
trees often make such rapid growth
that they are injured. In such cases
we certainly would not urge cultivation
till the trees come into bearing and be-
gin to draw heavily on the fertility Of
the soil.
We would like to hear from our read
ers as to the best distance apart for
the planting of apple trees. While this
question has been before the country
for long time, it is still unsettled.
This is due largely to the fact that it
has been supposedly settled a number
of times, and each time Ii has taken
several years to find out that the set
tlement was not conclusive. A dozen
years ago 1t was believed by some of
our progressive orchardsts that the
only way to do was to plant the trees
about twice as thick as they should ul-
timately stand and then cut out the
alternate rows a few years after the
trees had come into bearing The trees
were planted about rod apart and in
some cases closer together. They grew
and began to bear fruit. They devel-
oped till their limbs began to inter
twine and the owner recognized the
fact that the time had come to do the
thinning out Did he do It? Not at
all. in most cases. He hadn't the heart
to cut down the large fine trees, though
his intelligence told him 1t should be
done. The result was ultimately an
orchard gone more to wood than to
fruit. Now horticultural scientists are
urging the dropping Of the system, for
II has become to be a generally ac-
cepted truth that If trees are planted
too closely in the first place they are
likely to stand that way.
The man that buys fruit trees to put
into his orchard should inform him
self OF the nursery conditions under
which the trees were grown. The ma
ture of the soil in which they were
started and made their first few years
OF growth should not be far different
from the nature of the soil in which
they are subsequently to grow. II the
trees have been started in a very rich
soil with an abundant supply of mois-
ture they will receive a check that will
result In permanent stunting. With
out doubt this is the hidden cause of
the failure OF many an orchard. 1t is
more than likely to be the case when
trees are brought from very distant
places, say a thousand miles or so
away. 1t has been thought that the
failure Of so many trees thus obtained
was due to some hidden quality in the
climate, but 1t appears to the writer to
be more reasonable to assume that the
difference in soil conditions largely
accounted for the failures.
