This unique and curious member of
the citrus family, commonly called
Kumquat in this country, is a native
of Japan, where it is known as Kin
Kan, which means Gold Orange; Kun
quat is Chinese for the same mean
ing. In Japan it is exclusively grown
upon Trifoliata stock. On this stock,
in open-ground culture, it is a large
bush or small tree, sometimes attain
ing a hight of twelve feet. It bears
in great profusion small and very
handsome deep yellow fruit. The whole
fruit, rind and ALL is eaten, and people
become very fond of them. The sweet
rind and agreeably acid pulp make
piquant combination, relished by most
palates. Preserved in sugar or crys-
tallized, the Kumquat makes a de-
licious CONNECTION, and wherever Il is
known. is deservedly very popular.
AS An Ornamental.-The trees bear
as soon as they have wood enough to
hold fruit. Diminutive trees in pots
are loaded with flowers and fruit every
year The small but exquisitely beau
tiful fruit hangs on the unique and
handsome evergreen trees all winter.
While in ordinary open-ground cul-
ture the trees grow large enough to
yield several boxes of fruit, they are
easily restricted to dwarf size. These
little trees, with compact head, beauti-
full foliage and abundant flowers and
fruit, are very popular for room deco
ration. AS a window plant at the
North for pot culture, as well as for
gardens and grounds in the orange re-
gion, the Kumquat is one of our hand
soonest and most valuable ornament
ally.
The Kumquat as a Market Fruit
Kumquats. which have appeared in our
markets to a limited extent during the
past few years, have met ready sale
at enormously high prices, bringing
from $40 to SIS per box. At present
the supply is entirely inadequate to the
increasing demand.-G. L. Tabors Cat

NEGROES CHARGED WITH MURDEF

Steve Cinnamon, James Noye and
Hillery Copeland, three negroes, are
charged with the murder of Tom
O'Neal on Dec. 90 of last year. the body
of whom was found partly covered with
earth in an old corn field near La
Cross recently. Following this CHASTITY
discovery Harvey Ross, upon the prem
ises of whom the body was found, his
son and Tinnamon, were arrested for
the crime. Tinnamon confessed to the
killing, generating the Ross men, but
duplicating Noye and Copeland These
men were arrested in Columbia county

TRIED TO XIII HIMSELF.

Jose Fabra, an Ybor City coffee
roaster, in the employ of NJ. del Rio,
attempted to commit suicide Friday by
cutting his throat with a bread knife.
Fabra, during the evening, went into
a small house in the rear of the coffee
shop, and owing to the fact that he re-
manned there for a long time, Deputy
Sheriff stephens and others made an
investigation. which resulted in Fabra
being found in a pool of blood, with
his throat cut and the knife lying be-
side him. He had severed his wind
pipe, but had not reached the jugular
vein. 1t is thought that he will re-

The California Lima bean crop of
last season is estimated at about $780,
COO sacks of eighty pounds each, or
about 44,S00,000 pounds. The cost of
growing the beans is about 81 25 per
hundred-weight. The yield ranges from
1,200 up to 1000 pounds per acre.
The Lima, which is a pole bean in
ether sections of the United States,
is grown without poles or other sup
port in the California bean belt" The
vines pile themselves along the rows
and bloom and pod profusely unless
checked by drought. The beans ripen
during September those grown far
Their from the sea ripen first and cure
more quickly when cut than those
grown nearer the coast.
The crop is harvested by means of
sleds and knives attached to the run
ners and drawn by horses, or by the
more modern wheel cutters. In two to
four weeks after cutting the beans,
having cured, are thrashed, either by
steam thrashing outfits which move
from field TO field. or by the method
of 'tramping," which separates the
beans by means of horses and carts
or other vehicles driven over the
vines, previously piled on prepared
earthen floors, the straw being con-
stantly turned and moved with pitch
forks. The latter method, while slower
than the former, is said to be not
more expensive. if the weather is dry.

Sudduth pear tree growing near
Springfield, Ill. II is 81 years old, is So
feet high and 10 feet in circumference.
The tree is said to be perfectly healthy
and bears heavy crops of pears. The
limbs are badly broken from some of
the enormous crops it has borne. We
do not know whether this pear has
been successfully grown in the South
or not. Can any of our readers tell us &?

learn that the six-inch depth Isl so
much more effective than the twO-inch
depth. Doubtless this arises from the
shorter time required for the twO-inch
mulch to settle back into a condition
where capillary operation is possible.
This would differ much with different
soils. The natural conclusion is, how
ever that a two-inch stirring twice
week would be about as valuable as a
six-inch stirring once a week.

Poisonous Forage.-The bad repu-
tation of second-growth sorghum
seems to he justified by the results of
recent chemical tests in which the
young and stunted stalks and leaves
were found to contain prussic acid,
one of the rankest of all poisons. 1t
has not been found in full-grown
plants, but only in the stunted plants
that come up after the main crop has
been removed. The acid is quickly
changed by the plant into other COM
pounds, so that the poisonous period is
short, and cattle have often fed on
the second growth without injury in
fields which a few weeks later caused
many deaths.

many FANe'NhS'
Results of Timing Fruit-Pruning
by thinning the fruit may have a very
important, though indirect effect in
controlling the bearing year of many
plants. If an individual fruit spur he
carefully studied, it will be seen that
there is usually an alteration in fruit
bearing for the reason that the de-
mands made by the fruit are so great
that a fruit bud cannot develop the
same year. So in the bearing year,
leaf-bud develops to continue the spur
the following year: and in this follow
ing, or barren year. a fruit bud is de-
veloped fer the succeeding year. AL
ternate years fruit bearing is then
largely a question of food supply If
we wish to make a tree bear every
year, it is necessary either to supply
more food material, or to remove a
portion of the fruit.
A Fertile Sell is Drought Resistant
Keep the soil rich If you wish it to
be able to carry it's crops through the
drought. The farms in the East that
have been robbed of their fertility
have also become the prey of drought
The sparse crops on them fall down
easily under the glare of the hot sun
from a rainless sky. This is the OBJ
servation of good farmers: it is also
the teachings of science. Among the
many experiments that bear out the
above statements is a recent one i'm
ported from Germany. Rye. wheat
barley, peas, beans, potatoes and field
beets were given varying quantities of
a complete fertilizer application, and
the number of fibrous roots to depth
of about five feet were ascertained
The results indicated that in general
good supply of plant food tends to
produce a strong, well-developed root
system. with roots growing to greater
depths than when the supply of plant
food is limited. For this reason the
heavily fertilized crops are better able
to withstand drought than those hav-
ing received but light applications.
Checking Evaporation-At the Wy
oming station experiments were made
to determine to what extent the stirring
of the soil prevents the evaporation of
water. To have all conditions under
control twentY-five-inch cylinders were
used, and the water table was kept
within twenty-five inches of the sur
face Of the soil. The soil in the various
cylinders was then stirred once
week. in one to the depth of two
inches. in another to the depth of four
inches, and in third to the depth of
six inches. The first retarded the evap-
Grafton to the amount of 10 per cent;
the second RETARDED it % per cent,
and the third AZ pet cent. This shows
the tremendous value of cultivation in
q dry year when As per cent. increase
