POINTS ON FRUIT CULTURE
Careand Cultivation for Successful Grow
ing and Shipping.

the men of Mississippi, my native
state, through your columns, of the
condition of their Rankin county
farm, now proceed to give them a
successful experience of many years,
in fruit culture and shipping.
First, never buy from nursery
you aro unacquainted with, except
what fruit tree peddler tells you. I
purchased trees and shrubs for thirty
years from P. J. Berchmans, Augusta.
Ga. | believe his orchards and green
houses still exist. Clingman's, near
Houma, La, is also reliable. Many
diseases are introduced by trees bought
from diseased nurseries.
Give the ground a thorough plow-
ing first. l used No. 4 sugar planta-
tion plow, in October. In November
the trees should be set out. Dig holes
thirty feet apart each way, three feet
in depth, bredth and width, put in a
peck of we'll rotted fertilizing matter,
woods earth l prefer. Trim off all
bruised or broken roots with sharp
knife, and cut off the top of the
small tree to about two feet, this
last is very essential. Put in first,
we'll pulverized earth from the top
OF the soil till the roots are we'll
covered, then fill in we'll, as no
water must ever stand around a
fruit tree, tramp we'll all loose earth.
Remember never plant new orchard
on the site Of all old one. I don It
know the reason, but horticulturists
in Georgia and IN New Jersey. both
celebrated fruit states, practice this
rule. Plant no grain in au orchard; I;
oats will ruin it in one year; melons,
peanuts and Irish potatoes may be cul-
tlvated till the trees shade too much.
Never allow any kind of stock in an
orchard. Poultry are advantageous,
as they destroy insects. Trim back
one-third of the last years growth in
February. will add my formula
for invigorating fruit trees, grape
vines and flowers; it is also preven-
tative for boers:
One gallon crude whale oil.
One pound of crude potash.
One pound of crude Ammonia,
carbonated.
One quart pine tar.
One half gallon coal tar.
Mix these ingredients we'll in q
barrel and add thirty gallons rain
water. During application, keep
|stirred we'll.
Tie loosely around each tree of four
or more inches in diameter, a soft
cotton or burlass bandage, and pour on
the mixture, through the cloth, one
hal gallon to each tree.
Apply this every alternate day till
the bush and roots have been wet ten
times. This ought to last two years.
In gathering fruit for market, never
shake the trees mo bruised fruit be-
ing saleable-use step-ladder and
baskets. Each box must be packed so
the fruit will not move. Gather
when fully matured, but not soft.
Boxes are made especially for shipping
fruit. Grown. picked and packed in
this way, sent fruit as fal as Gin
cinnati from Leland, Miss. and obtain
ed fine prices in May and June.

Bid. That high school training

4th. That a college education in

From the nature of the case it can
not be claimed that these figures are
exact, but they are based upon the
most reliable government statistics and
the necessary estimates have been
made with care. It is also doubtless
true that other circumstances contri-
buted to the success of these college
trained men, but after all reasonable
allowances are made the figures still
force the conclusion that the more

The Wallace Sprayer.

J. ID. Wallace, inventor and manu-
facturer of the wallace Sprayer," has
recently visited the Pacific Coast, ar
ranging for agencies to handle his ma
chimes. Lilly, Bogardus & Co. have
taken the agency for the Pacific North
west.
Mr.. Wallace claims that his sprayer
is a practical, common sense machine
for spraying trees or plants. 1t is for
use in connection with the usual tank
wagon carrying the spraying liquid,
and can be placed on top or at either
end of the tank as desired. 1t is only
necessary to get the sprocket wheel on
the machine in line with the large
sprocket which attaches to the rear
wheel of the wagon and supplies the
power.
The machine is mounted on strong

standards of an ordinary wagon. The
operation is so simple as to be at once
apparent. Air is first pumped into the
receiver to perhaps 40 or so POUNDS
pressure. The liquid is then pumped in
under the cushion of compressed air,
and additional pressure up to 100 or
125 pounds thus secured.

HUNTERDON POLITICS.

Hunterdon County is a Democratic
stronghold that very rarely elects a
Republican to Office, but the chances
are that 1t will do so at the coming
election, because it will be especially
to the interest of the people to do so.
The main interest in the election
will not be who will be Senator and
who Assemblyman, but 1t will centre
county.
The Democratic Senatorial asplrants
are making such lively canvass that
n Republican nominee has scarcely
been thought Of. 1T is generally look
ed upon as n forlorn hope for Repub-
lcan to run for Senator in Hunterdon,
because of the average 1900 majority
for the other fellow, but an outsider
looking over the ground would be JUS
titled IN suggesting that the Republi-
cans would stand pretty fair chance
if they would nominate Stephen X.

NOva scotia ships Are Said to he the
Worst Ahoat,


The worst case In the way Of a ship
into which Jack can go is Nova SEQ
tian. A certain Nova Scotia ship came
into port at Santos one day with crew
that was little short OF mutinous owing
TO the fact that the captain was too
sparing Of the rations. The ship had
bad name among sailors at the best,
and as soon as she was anchored the
entire crew cleared out. For three
weeks after she had discharged and got
her new cargo she lay there with no
crew to take her to sea. At last the
captain went to some Of the crlmps on
shore and told them to round up crew
under any pretext. The erimps sent
men around the docks Offering big
wages to any of the loungers who
would 20 aboard the vessel to rig
some new sails. Some twenty men
were quickly picked up, many OF them
In their shirt sleeves, and were taken
aboard. They were then covered with
revolvers and rifles by the officers,
and the anchor was weighed, and the
Nova Scotia ship stood out to sea. her
unwilling crew leaving families behind
without even n chance to let them
know what had happened. The next
port was Sydney, and the next Yoke
HAMA then San Francisco, then Val
paraiso, then Lisbon, and for those men
who stayed with the ship 1t was just
two and II half years until she went to
Grande du sui the nearest port home.

out and gone home In other ships long
