Bordeaux Mixture.

This is the great remedy for rots.
'mildews and all fungous' diseases and
1T is prepared as follows:
Copper sulphate (blue stone),
pounds; fresh lime, to pounds;
water, so gallons.
Put the copper sulphate in coarse
sack and suspend it in some water till
it is all dissolved and dilute to twenty
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.
Ii the ferro-cyanide of potassium does
not change, no more lime is needed,
but IT it changes to dark reddish col
or, more lime must be added and the
test epeated.-Fabian Garcia.

Agriculture In Porto R,co.


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 $4,000 tons.
Railroads are being constructed, open
ing up new territories, and as conse-
quence it is believed that next year
the sugar crop will exceed $780, 900 tons.
Previous to this time the largest sugar
crop ever produced was in 1889, when
10000 tons was manufactured. Then
came decline. Now the sugar indus
try is on the food 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
high quality of cotton. The growth
is extremely rapid. Tobacco growing
is developing rapidly. Last year the
yield was 100000 pounds; this year it
will be 3,20O,OO0; 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
pound and will probably reach rs cents
per pound before the end of the season

Prospects for Fruit.

Prospects for Fruit.
Georgia peach prospects are bright.
Late frosts did not seriously injure

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
DINA 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.

encouraging. The prospects for an

Maintenance Ration for Horses.

maintenance Ration for Horses.
a At the University Of Wyoming ex-
periments were made to determine the
amount Of alfalfa hay and straw re-
quired 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 1858 pounds OF
hay per 1000 pounds of live weight.
The average for both horses was 1913
pounds of alfalfa hay per day per 1000
pounds of live weight. Another test
was made.
Ihe horses ate straw very regular
~ during the feeding trials and it
seems that they needed more carbo-
hydrates than alfalfa hay furnishes
for maintenance diet where the ra-
ito of carbohydrates should be not
FAR from 2 to 8 to 1 of protein, while
the ratio in alfalfa hay is little more
than 8 to l. Ben and Doc were ac-
cordlngly put in the stable and fed
alfalfa hay morning and evening and
were given an ad libi.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 grain did not fill we'll, hence,
doubtless, more Of the material gath
cred to fill the kernel must have been
left In the straw. Ben ate 14.6S pounds
OF hay and 2.23 pounds of straw per
1000 pounds of live weight and gained
"A pounds in weight during the twelve
days. During this period, Doc ate
1855 pounds of alfalfa hay and 2.2S
pounds of oat straw per 1000 pounds of
i've weight. The average for the two
was 1876 pounds of hay and 2.25
pounds of straw per 1000 pounds of
i've weight, Or we may put it, 1874
pounds hay and 21A pounds of straw

Sol Smith Russ.1rs Kindly Heart.

Sol Smith Russell used to tell of
lhree little nieces of whom he was
very fond. They lived in Kansas City
and one afternoon he took the young
est tot for a walk. He also bought
her some candy, saying she might
have it when they reached home. The
child urged: Lets wun, Uncle Sol"
but he pleaded that he was tired.
Then the little one pumped down on
her knees on the sidewalk and prayed,
80 bod, Please make Uncle Sol wun."
The actor thought, well, it's a ques-
ton of my losing my dignity or of her
losing faith in Cod" And so the pair
ran as fast as they could "But we
walked together no more" he used to
add.

OF HORSES FROM

It is thus seen that the oxtraora

1t is thus seen that the extraordi-
narlly heavy exports of horses from
the United States in 1901, amounting
as they did to S2,25O head, were due
primarily to shipments of 37,465 head
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 re-
markable and almost steadily increas-
ing demand in both North American
and European countries for horses
bred and reared in the United States.

Our Exports of Horses.

A publication of the Department of

North American countries and out
lying islands, to South Africa, and
to all other countries combined from
1894 to 1901:

Hadly-Tled Wool.

L. M. Hartley, an Iowa correspond
ent of the Farmers Review, writes:
ITO get wool to market in the best of
condition, the most essential points
are to have it tied up correctly by an
expert. There should be no foreign
substances left in the wool, but it
should be strictly clean. AS to mar
kets, my experience is that st. Louis
is great deal better market than Chi
cago, and Boston a little better than
either" 1t is certainly true that the
wool grower that does not make a study
of the methods of marketing his prod
uct loses money on account of the wool
reaching the market in a shape in
which the buyer can find an excuse for
paying less than the prevailing price.

Joseph Jefferson was asked the 9TH

into RIP Van Winkle," and this was
his reply: IF had brought on real
dog he would never have pleased

Schneider ought to be. And if the
tail of the dog of realism had wagged
once at the wrong time it would have
