Tomorrow, was the answer

Then he made out a $1,000 draft on a

and was handed a sealed envelope, which
he was requested to deliver to the San

and I would not ask the favor. except
that you deliver it at the time you
call for your money at the bank. and it
will occasion you but little trouble
The merchant expressed pleasure at be-

On arriving in San Francisco he ent

The seedIess Navel orange.


The interesting peculiarities of the
so called ''seedless" naval orange are
commented upon by a Florida grower
as follows in Country Gentleman:
In the first place, it is necessary to
state that the navel orange is not uni
formly seedless. All practical orange
growers know that an orange some
times occurs having one or two good,
plump seeds. Still, the variety is prac-
tically seedless, and it is this fact more
than its quality which gives it it's popu-
larity with the buyers.
The navel orange is not rendered
seedless by any effort of man. 1t was
found by an American lady travelling
in the province of Bahia, Brazil, and
samples of it were sent by her in 1870
TO Mr.. William Saunders Of the depart
ment of agriculture. 1t was propa gat-
ed on the government grounds, and
young trees were sent to Florida and
California. For some reason the navel
has never proved to be productive in
Florida except when worked on the
rough lemon stock. but in California it
has been very prolific and has done
more than anything else to place the
orange industry on a paying basis in
that state.
The singular fact of its seedlessness
has caused a great deal of speculation
and experimentation. Why is it seed
less?is the question Of SURPRISING inter-
est. And how did it propagate itself in
a state of nature when no human agen-
cy was al hand to bud or graft or lay
er it? The fact is. as above stated, it
had enough seeds to propagate itself,
though sparsely.

cooping and Feeding chicks.

do not have any particular style of
coop-a good roof and bottom of boards
always made so that it can be conven-
iently cleaned. Twenty chicks to a hen
think about right. The coops are
placed near the house for convenience
while the chicks are young. moving
them farther away as they grow older.
At about s or weeks they are located
near blue grass pasture, with num-
Der of apple trees for shade. Here
they have range until cold weather
drives them into winter quarters.
My first food for little chicks is dry
wheat bread moistened with sweet
milk. This is good enough for the first
day. The second day oatmeal and mil
let seed are given, with mica grit. They
get water from the start. Up to
weeks old their food is bread moistened
in milk. millet seed, oatmeal, corn
bread baked as for the table and crack
ed wheat. After they are A weeks old
l discontinue the oatmeal and bread
and milk and feed millet seed, whole
wheat and cracked corn, with corn
bread for breakfast, baked the day be-
fore. After the chicks are months
old | feed q bran mash consisting of
one-third each of ground oats, corn and
wheat bran, moistened with milk. clab-
Der or sour milk preferred. This feed
in the evening, all they will eat.
l follow this method of feeding the
old fowls. believing the evening the
proper time for soft food. For late
Matched broods (say the last of June or
first Of July hatches) know of no
place better for coping than near a
cornfield. with a clover meadow near
by. The corn furnishes plenty of shade
through the warm days, and the clover
field supplies grasshoppers. l have had
good results from late broods raised in

SOWING LIME AND SULPHUR WITH SEED.
growers in certain sections where smut
prevails cater to markets demanding
small, cooking onions; hence increased
size would not be an advantage and
the cost and labor of transplanting
seem too great.
1t has been proved that equal parts
of air slaked lime and sulphur ap-
piled in the drill with the onion seed
is very effective against the smut. For
five seasons the Geneva On. " station
has tested this treatment and has
proved that the sulphur and lime must
be brought into close contact with the
little plants in the soil, that it is not
sufficient to distribute the chemicals
over the soil, but they must be put in
TIE row where the seeds are sown.
An attachment was designed for the
regular onion drill, which, by means of
extra boxes, agitators and distributing
tubes, sowed the lime and sulphur
with the seed.
A machine Of this kind could easily
be made which would apply the sui
phur and lime with but little more la
Dor than ordinarily required to SOW the
seed. The cost of the sulphur and lime
is about 81 per acre One hundred
pounds Of sulphur thoroughly mixed
with so pounds of air slaked lime per
acre has given best results.
