THE FARM AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO AGRI-
CULTURIsT AND HOUSEWIFE.

A Talk About waInuts and the
Four Kinds Recommended Tor
Experimenters-Eng WaInuts
ton Seed McaI-CoaI and Wood
Ashes Compared.
So far as we know, there are only
four species of walnuts catalogued and
recommended for experiment by those
interested in nut culture.
First, we have the black walnut
(Juglans nigra), which has been grown
with more or less success in the South
for more than $50 years. Nearly all
the trees were grown directly from
the nut planted right where the tree
was to grow. 1t is a very valuable
wood when the tree is at all perfect.
OF all the nuts grown this writer pre-
fers it for it's peculiar richness of
flavor. In many years the average
price for the hulled nuts has been 81
per bushel. +% The English walnut,
known also as the Madeira nut jug
lans regia), nature pabital Madeira
Islands, we assume, from it's name.
This nut is now grown very extern
sively in California, but has not yet
been tried in Georgia. No doubt it
will grow here, but it will require ten
years TO reach the results of recently
started tests in regard to it.
The Japan walnut (Juglands SieboldD
has been introduced into various sec
tions of the United States, but we are
not aware of any practical results.
The tree is said to make a very rapid
growth.
Last of the four walnuts in the Jug
faffs -Gfnerarea; known as blstternut.
The foliage of it and the Japan wal
nut is very similar The butternut is
known also as White Walnut, though
it would seem that the adjective
white" should rather indicate the
English walnut. The South, just at
this time, is mostly concerned with
lect all other nuts. 1t is possible that
error lies in neglecting the black wal
nut. Will the English walnut fruit
in the South?
1t is easily grown in California;
why not in Southern Georgia? Does
any reader know of a bearing tree
anywhere in Georgia or Florida?
We have some very fine seeds of the
English walnut this year, grown in
California presumably and we have
planted quite number, and with every
assurance that we will get the tree.
Last season, early in the year (Feb-
ruary), we planted two seeds in our
backyard BY October one of the trees
was fully three feet high and the other
eighteen inches. The latter was Bit
ten off twice during the summer, else
it would also have grown three feet.
1t is evident there is no difficulty in
terminating the nuts. The pecan
makes no such growth the first season
that the walnut does. The latter is
the most rapid grower we have ever
seen. 1t will not do to jump to con-
clusion, but we are inclined to believe
that the English walnut will grow to
perfection in Georgia. If not, why not?
We would advise our readers to pro-
cure some fresh nuts and plant them
here and there about their place. The
experiment will not cost much.

Coal and Wood Ashes Compared.

H. F. M: Coal ashes are worth
nothing as a fertilizer or so little it is
hardly worth counting. Spread on
clayey spots the ashes will improve
the texture of the soil considerably and
even this is a help, especially on soil
when you propose planting potatoes.
A bushel or so of these ashes can be
advantageously broadcasted about any
young fruit trees.
Oak and hickory ashes on the other
hand make an excellent fertilizer for
Irish potatoes in every way as good as
kainit. But to get the full benefit of
them the first year for such a quick
growing crop of Irish potatoes, it is
necessary to rot them before applying
to the soil. They must be rotted but
not leached. Fill up old barrels or
hogsheads with the ashes and then
wet them through and through. In the
course of mont or so they will be
rotted. and the potash in them will be
in a soluble condition easily absorbed
by the growing crop. Be sure that
you get them soaking wet just as is
done when the object in soap-making
Unleached oak and hickory ashes
contain from to per cent. of potash
and IL to 2 per cent. of phosphoric
acid.
Bituminous coal ashes do not contain
the half of one per cent. of potash
and no more of phosphoric acid. An
thracite coal contains even not as
much.
The ashes of cotton seed bulls, when
unleached. make the finest mineral fer
tilizer that you can probable use, but
1t is very difficult, if not impossible
to procure them now.

DIED IN PATROL WAGON.

L. Solomon, a well known butcher
of Macon, died Friday afternoon while

the wagon. When the wagon arrived
at headquarters the man was dead. His
death was at first attributed to heart
failure, but there were suspicious cir
cumstances land an inquest was held
A bottle half filed with poison was
found in the dead mans room, and a
note, which read: MY darling little
child. If you are dead by this time I
shal soon be with you" II was known

A POSTMASTER SENTENCED.

Jacksonville Metropolis: C. A. Brown,
the postmaster at Bannerville, Putnam
county, Florida, is in Jacksonville. a
United States Court prisoner. He was
arrested by w. NJ. Mccormick, deputy
United States marshal. Fred d. Peer,
postoffice inspector, made an affidavit
charging that Brown on Oct %, 1901,
paid debt to w. A. Merriday, of Pa
latka, Fla, of SO. so in postage stamps
from his (Brown's) office. On arraign-
ment Brown admitted he paid out the
amount in stamps. and then placed
50. 80 in money in the postoffice to pay
for the stamps, not knowing, he said,
that it was a violation of the postal
laws. Commissioner Archibald told
Brown that while others could pur-
chase stamps and pay debts with
them, postmasters could not, and that
1t was a serious offense. Court being
open, ]. N. Stripping, district attorney,
at once carried the case before Judge
Locke, VINO heard the facts in the case,
and sentenced Brown to pay $50 and
costs, and to be confined in Jail at Pa
latka until paid. 1t is the general i'm
preston that Brown was ignorant of
the law and did not really intend to
violate it.
