Spray the Fruit Trees.

All fruit trees should be sprayed.
without regard to whether they have
ever been attacked by insects or dis
ease, or escaped. rs 1t is less labor to
prevent attacks than to remedy an evil
after 1t appears. 1t costs more to re-
pair damage than to ward off danger.
In some States, such as California,
spraying Of trees and vines Is enforc-
ed by law. If the grower neglects his
duty he Is considered as one maintain
ing a public nuisance. and some official
is ordered to spray the orchard and add
the cost to the tax bill Of the negli-
gent owner.

Improved Nest Boxes.
The accompanying drawing repro
duced from Orange Judd Farmer, illus
trates very well the improved nests de-
signed and successfully used by Will
liam Proctor, of Essex County. Mass.
They are very easily made and the
plan Of construction is as follows:
Take three boards, one inch thick by
II inches wide, and Of any convenient
length. The boards are placed far
enough apart to admit of two nests
side by side

American capital will be used to
open up large areas Of undeveloped
farming land in Spain, II the $5,OOO,-
600 company, announced to be under
way in New York, succeeds in its at
tempt. Apparently, the plan Is to start
factories for making agricultural ma
chinery and to introduce extensive irri-
cation and other ambitious projects
All this would be a great turning Of
the tables since the days when the
whole Of America was mainly stamp

New Sugar Plant.

The Agricultural Department is in.
quiring into the statement of Consul.
General Guenther that new plant has
been discovered In South America that
promises to supplant the sugar cane
and the sugar beet. The plant contains
a large amount Of saccharine matter
and high percentage Of natural sugar
properties which are easy to extract.
1t Is said to be easily cultivated in
climates like those Of the southern por-
ton Of the United States. According
to experiments made by the discoverer,
the director Of the agricultural insti-
tute Of Asuncion, this plant Is said to
yield a sugar which is from twenty to
thirty times as sweet as ordinary cane
or beet sugar.

The farm surplus should never be

be changed to something else with
profit. Hay, when fed to dairy cows,
and only the butter Is sold, leaves a
portion of the profit on the farm, as
the butter is derived mostly from the

Fine Potatoes In Maine.

A HE Grain Farm.

A Big Grain Farm.
Oklahoma claims to have the larg-
est farm in the Southwest. 1t Is the
1O1 ranch in the Ponca reservation,
and is so big that 1t is necessary to
plant several varieties of wheat in it
one Of which ripens several days later
than the Other-in order that all Of
them may be harvested at their prime
On this farm the wheat fields are or
one thousand acres each, the cattle
pastures are of one thousand to 1900
acres each, and pasture six thousand
head annually the corn rows are one
and half miles long. requiring five
hundred mules and three hundred men
to handle the crop, and 1t takes thir-
ty self-binders three weeks to cut the
wheat crop and dozen or more steam
threshers forty days to thresh 1t.
There are fifty thousand acres in the
ranch.
Possibilities Of Poultry Business.
The next thing in New York may
be an egg corner. The eggs laid In
the United States every year by hens
are worth fully $145, 100000. The poul-
try sold brings $139. 100000. To haul
to market all the eggs that all the
hens lay every year would take train

Water for Horses.

Horses require considerable
amount Of water daily. the quantity
varying with different seasons of the
year, the amount Of work performed,
etc. The time Of watering, whether
before or after feeding. Is a matter Of
little Importance and, generally speak
ing. may be regulated to suit the con.
venience Of the feeder. Horses be-
come used to either method of water
ing, and irregularity should be avoid
ed, as sudden changes are apt to prove
disturbing.

EuR1ish Tobacco.

It is not generally known that tobac-

several districts in England. So also
is Indian earn. The great bar to sue
cess In the culture Of the tobacco plant
during recent years is the want of the
sun, but it is fact that many cigars
smoked in London are formed of ma.
terial grown within radius of forty
miles from Bowbells.

Irrigation is reported from Maine on
eleven farms in the last United States
census. 1890. OF the seventeen acres
irrigated, fifteen were in vegeta bles
and small fruits, and two in hay. On
most Of the farms the water was
pumped from wells and directed upon
the land through pipes and hose. The
cost Of the irrigation systems was &c.
40, or $127.65 per acre, and the value
of the irrigated crops was 1855, or

Crop Report.

u. 5. Department Of Agricul-
ture, Climate and Crop Bulletin
of the Weather Bureau, Arizona
Section, for the week ending
Monday, April 25, 1904.
Continued unfavorable condi-
tons for agriculture prevailed
during the past week. Light
rain or snow fell in the northern
portion of the territory on We'd
nesday and Thursday, but the
amount of precipitation was too
little to bring relief from the
drOuthy conditions which have
prevailed. High, drying winds
occurred during the day through
out the greater portion of the
week, and these had the effect of
intensifying the drOuthy condi-
tions. Furthermore, abnormally
low temperatures, accompanied,
except in the warmeSt sections,
by light to killing frost, prevailed
during the week and checked the
growth of vegetation consider
ably. There has been some
blowing and seeding done in the
northern portion Of the territory,
but work of this nature is being
retarded by unfavorable condi-
tions. In some sections grain
and alfalfa are doing fairly we'll,
but generally they are not doing
we'll. There has been some
damage to these crops by freez-
ing in the northern portion of
the territory. In the southern
portion large areas are being
pastured. In favored sections
Snips and the St. Johns herald. [volume] (St. Johns, Ariz.) 1903-1905, 1904-04-30

gardens are doing fairly we'll,
but generally the prospects for
both garden truck and potatoes
are not good. Fruit has been
injured considerably by frost in
the northern portion OF the ter
ritory. The condition of ranges
is growing poorer and the supply
of stock water is lesSening. Feed
is almost gone from those por-
tionS of the range lying near
water, and in many sections
cattle are too weak to travel from
the feeding ground to water. In
those sections where mesquite is
abundant the conditions are less
unfavorable, as cattle are brOws-
ing on the foliage which has
been newly put forth.
