Prospect. for Fruit.


Georgia peach prospects are bright
Late frosts did not seriously injure
fruit in Alabama, and the outlook is
very favorable except for pears Straw
berries are ripening in southern coun-
ties
Cool, wet weather and frosts checked
the growth of vegetation in North Car
olina the first week in April, but the
consensus of opinion is that fruit es-
capped without serious injury
Prof N E. Hansen, South Dakota:
Prospects are very good for fruit this
year. In the southern part of the
state cherry buds are reported injured
by the cold snap last December
Prof E. s Golf, University OF Wis
consin: The prospects for fruit are
only fair this season. The past very
hot and dry season was not favorable
Only portion of the apple trees in our
orchard (less than ha1f) formed any
flower buds last season
Michigan. reports indicate that ten
der varieties of peaches were consider
ably Injured in the southwestern part
of the state by the severe weather of
last December, otherwise the outlook is
encouraging. The prospects for an
average crop of the various fruits are
indicated by the following estimates

This IS the great remedy for rots-
miIdeWs and all fungous diseases and
it is prepared as follows
Copper sulphate (bIue stone), 6
pounds; fresh lime, 4 to pounds;
water, so gallons.
Put the copper sulphate in a coarse
sack and suspend it in some water till
five gallons Use either a wooden or
an earthen vessel. Then Stake the
lime and dilute to twenty-five gallons,
and at the same time stir with pad
die An important point is to use
enough lime, as it prevents the burn
ing OF the foliage To determine if
enough lime has been used in prepar-
ing the mixture add a few drops of a
solution of ferro-cyanide of potassium.
If the ferro-cyanide of potassium does
not change, no more lime is needed.
but if it changes to dark reddish col
or, more lime must be added and the
test repeated--Fabian Garcia.

Aerieu,tur. in Porto Rico

Under the fostering care of the
United States government agriculture
in Porto Rico is advancing rapidly 1t
is estimated that the sugar crop for
this year will amount to 95, 900 tons.
Railroads are being constructed, open
ing up new territories, and as a conse-
quence it is believed that next year
the sugar crop will exceed 1906 tons
Previous to this time the largest sugar
crop ever produced was in 1889, when
100000 tons was manufactured. Then
came a decline. Now the sugar indus
try is on the flood wave, and it is ex-
pected that by 1904 the amount pro-
duced will exceed 100000 tons. Ameri-
can capitalists have sent over mining
experts, and much good work has been
already done Iron mines have been
found near the coast. Copper, gold
and Ignite have also been discovered
Experiments with cotton have been be-
gun, and the plantations are yielding
a high quality of cotton. The growth
is extremely rapid Tobacco CROWNS
is developing rapidly. Last year the
yield was 3, 100000 pounds; this year it
will be 3,20O,OOO; and IT is believed
confidently that in 1903 the crop will
amount to 100000 pounds Prices
are now very favorable Last year the
crop sold at to cents pound; this
year it is selling at Is to 20 cents a
pound and will probably reach 25 cents
per pound before the end of the season.

124 correspondents answer yes and
254 mo-. 1t is to be hoped that spray

0RTS OF HORSES FROM THE
UNITED STATES

1t IS thus seen that the extraordi-
narIly heavy exports of horses from
the United States in 1901, amounting
as they did to Sc, 25O head were due
primarily to shipments of 1865 heal
to South Africa-a larger number OF
horses, with one exception, than had
ever been consigned up to that time
to any single destination in the his
tory OF our country. If this factor
however, be entirely eliminated from
the trade there is still apparent a re-
narkab1e and almost steadily increas-
ing demand in both North American
and European countries for horses
bred and reared in the United States.

The ParsnIp as STOCK Feed.


In feeding cattle, the parsnfp is
found to be equal, if not superior, to
the carrot, performing the business
with as much expedition, and afford
ing meat of exquisite flavor and
highly juicy quality. The animals eat
it with much greediness. It is reck-
oned that 80 perches, where the crop
is good, will be sufficient to fatten an
OK three or four years old, when per-
fectly lean, in the course of three
months They are given in the pro-
portion of about 30-1b weight morn
ing, noon and night, the large ones
being split in three or four pieces. and
a little hay supplied in the intervals
of those periods. And when given to
milk cows with little grass hay in
the winter season, the butter is found
to be of as fine a color and excellent
a flavor as when feeding in the best
pastures. Indeed the result of ex-
pertinent has shown that not only in
meat cattle, but in the fattenfng of
pigs and poultry, the animals become
fat much sooner, and are more healthy
than when fed with any other root or
vegetable; and that, besides the meat
is more sweet and delicious The
parsnip leaves, being more bulky than
those of carrots, may be mown of
before taking up the roots, and given
to cows, oxen, or horses by whom they
will be greedily eaten--Stephens'

Main. RATION for Horses.
At the University OF wyoming ex-
perinents were made to determine the
amount Of alfalfa hay and straw re-
CURED to feed farm horses while at
rest Two horses were kept in the
barn and fed daily all the hay and
straw they would take. One horse,
named Ben, ate 1892 pounds Of hay
per 1000 pounds of live weight. The
other horse, Doc, ate 1868 POUNDS of
hay per 1000 pounds of live weight
The average for both horses was 14-3
pounds of alfalfa hay per day per 1000
pounds of live weight Another test
was made
The horses ate straw very regular
~ during the feeding trials and it
seems that they needed more carbo-
hydrates than alfalfa hay furnishes
tor maintenance diet where the ra
ito Of carbohydrates should be not
far from to to 1 of protein, while
the ratio in alfalfa hay is little more
than to 1. Ben and Doc were ac-
cordingly put in the stable and fed
alfaIfa hay morning and evening and
were given an ad Hbi.um feed OF
straw during the day
We take twelve days of this feed
ing with alfalfa hay and oat straw
since from the effect of the season
the tSain did not fill well, hence,
doubtless, more of the material gath
cred to fill the kernel must have been
left IN the straw. Ben ate 14.68 pounds
or nay and 2-23 pounds of straw per
1000 pounds of live weight and gained
II pounds i'll weight during the twelve
days. During this period Doc ate
1855 pounds of alfalfa hay and 22S
pounds of oat straw per 1000 pounds Of
hive weight. The average for the two
was 1876 pounds of hay and 2.25
pounds of straw per 1000 pounds of
hVe weight, or, we may put it. 13A

The Boys Go Back the Farm.
A report from Indiana says that OF
the total number of men registered
this year in the agricultural college of
that state not more than 10 per cent
are willing care to accept saIaried
positions. The remainder are prepar-
ing for work on their own farms.
There is demand for men trained along
agricultural lines, and it cannot now
be supplied. Contrary to the general
impression a very large proportion of
the students in our agricultural col
Ieges go back to the farms when they
have completed their courses. The
Ohio Agricultural College about a
year ago undertook to find out how
many of the agricultural students
leaving the college went back to the
farm The proportion was found to be
very large. A considerable number
of agricultural students naturally drop
into the work of teaching For this
opportunities are constantly opening.
The young man that becomes thor
ough1y imbued with enthusiasm con-
corning agriculture gravitates back to
the farm. and it takes very high wages
to hold him in any other position.
