Mobile, Oct. 8.
 Mobile Is and has for some time, been suffering from a drought which, unless relief comes in the very near future will mean the destruction of all the flower gardens in the city, besides the vegetable gardens. For the past few nights the heavens, at times. would be overcast with clouds. the winds would rise and every indication pointed to rain. but, perhaps a few drops from a low passing cloud would fall and that would be the end of 1t.
 Weatherman Dudley. who for several days had been confined to his bed but who Is again at his post of duty, this morning gave out the following infor- nation as to weather conditions since the first day of September:
 From Sept. 1, with the exception of the afternoon of the fifth of that month, there has been practically no rainfall in this city, with the exception of a slight trace on the afternoon of the 9th instant when there was a slight fall For the time from the first of September the total rainfall to date was .S3 of an inch. For the month of September the de- ficiency of rain, compared with the ra- tio of former years, Is 4.S2. and for the year. to date. the deficiency is 9.15.
 Mir. Dudley stated that the prediction from Washington this morning Is that there will be a slight frost in North Alabama tonight, though he would not discuss this prediction. There, have been good rainfalls in North and Middle Ala bama. however. the past few days, and the rivers. for the next three days, will have a steady rise.

They are very easily made, and the
plan of construction is as follows:
Take three boards, one inch thick by
twelve inches wide and Of any con
venient length. The boards are placed
far enough apart to admit of two nests
side by side.
Strips two inches wide and one inch
thick, represented in the diagram as
b b, are nailed across both top and
bottom to hold the uprights in place
and make the frame firm. Supports
for the nest boxes are wires, desig-
mated by c c in the diagram, and to
put them in place holes are augured
through all the boards, which is best
done before the rack is put together.
Strips might well be used in place Of
the wires and would give additional
strength. II wire is used, it will prove
most satisfactory If kept tight.
The nest boxes are made Of half
inch lumber. They are eleven and d
half inches wide, twelve inches long
and five inches deep. The bottom i
made to project six inches, providing
a step for the hens to alight on. The
space above the boxes would depend
partly on the breed of poultry. but
with boxes five inches high a four
teen-inch space between wires will Ia

Best Fertilizers For Tomatoes.

Fertilizer tests of interest are re-
ported in Bulletin so of the Indiana
station. The experiments were carried
out during the seasons Of 1899 and
1900 on moderately heavy clay loan
that would naturally yield about TWEEN
ty-four bushels of wheat or fifty BUSH
els of corn per acre. The fetilizer for
mula followed in the main was that
recommended by Voorhees,, viz, nitro
gen AZ per cent, phosphoric acid 70
per cent. and potash twelve per cent,
applied at the rate of 500 pounds per
acre; and was composed Of muriate
Of potash, nitrate of soda, azotin and
acid phosphate. This mixture cost
about $32 per ton. One some plats one
or more of the fertilizers was omitted,
and the amount applied on the differ
ent plats also varied. Barnyard
manure applied on clover sod at the
rate Of twelve to fifteen two-horse
loads per acre formed one plat in 1900.
The best results were obtained by
using a complete fertilizer in liberal
amounts. The use of nitrogen alone,
either in the form Of nitrate or organic
nitrogen, was Improbable. The yield
on the barnyard manure plat was the
largest obtained with any Of the fertil-
izers. This fertilizer had a tendency
to delay and prolong the ripening
period, but the total yield was very
near double that obtained from In
other plat.
On the whole, the use of the com
mercial fertilizers considerably IL
creased the yields and fastened til
maturity of the crop. The results alse
indicate that on lands of the type used
where clover is grown in the rotation,
a fertilizer made up of three per cent.
nitrogen, eve per cent. available
phosphoric acid and twelve per cent.
potash would more nearly meet the
requirements of the tomato r O than

about SIS per ton cheaper. Earlier ex-
periments at the station indicate that

And stirs it round, and round, and round

She puts into the batter,

That o0zes out in bubbles.

From dough that's thin and yellow.
And sometimes makes a cooky man,
A funny looking fellow.

With body round, but bigger.
With puffy legs and puffy arms,
The queerest little figure:
And then. whatever dough is left,
When she is through with making,
She gives to mi if I am good
When mamma does the baking.

Tools For Winter Pruning.


In trimming trees, we want some
thing that will make a good, smooth
wound. The advantage I find with
my saw is that it has a stiff back, max
ing the blade perfectly rigid, which
can be brought up with a set screw.
That will make a good close cut where
the saw will not get a chance to wob-
BILE. OF course, the teeth Of the prun-
ing saw r fine and well set, so that
it cuts rapidly. There was a blade on
the end for jabbing, but that is a very
poor tool, because you will make n
or two strikes before you hit in the
right place, and those make two or
three wounds. and you get two or three
suckers to heal over those wounds.
The saw is in all cases the best tool
to prune with, and makes very little
injury to the cambium in cutting, and
that is the important part of the tree,
for that is the part from which we get
all our growth, and want to AXE the
greatest care of it.
Some might say, "What about the
pruning shearsw They are all right
under certain circumstances for small
er limbs, when there is not much re-
sistance in cutting it off, but take the
limb of an apple tree where the wood
is hard, in order to get that limb off
you have to work the shears often,
and you will work the bark off there,
bruise the cambium for an inch, and
the wound heals very slowly. We use
a long handle on the saw for high
trimming.
1t is not necessary to pare wounds.
because you want to have the inner
bark protected as much as possible,
and if you pare down it will allow
the frost to get to the inner bark.-W.
