There has developed a good-sized
sensation in regard to the arithmetics
adopted by the Uniform Textbook
Commission. These arithmetics are
published by Sanborn & Co., located
at Biddeford, Me. Nine sample copies
of the book were submitted to the
commission, and in all the books sub
mitted there were pastors all through
them. After the commission adjourned
someone got hold of one of the sam
pie copies, and just for curiosity wet
the paster and revealed to light the
original example. The first one re-
vealed was something like this:
There were 260 white children in a
school. Each tenth child was colored.
How many children we're there in all?"
When this paster was removed, other
pastors in the book were lOOsened,
and some just as bad were revealed.
One question related to the yellow fe-
yer in New Orleans. Another related
TO stock in a Texas oil we'll, running
something like this: eff a nan bought
a hundred shares of stock in a Texas
oil we'll, paying therefor 81 a share,
and next day was forced to sell it at
10 cents a share. how much did his
experience cost him." Just what will
he done about the matter is not
known.

Congressman E. S. Gambler has re-
Gently been promised a complete city
mail delivery for his home town, Cor
nth; an extra railway mail service
from Nettleton, between Tupelo and
Aberdeen; a double daily service be-
tween Tupelo and Fulton, and an addf-
tional rural route for Monroe county
The Secretary of Agriculture has also
promised to order a complete soil sur
vey for the entire First district, to be
made at an early date.
One of the biggest rains that has
| fallen this season fell in Pamela oun
ty last week, being a regular water
spout. 1t did great damage to the
| crops, completely washing up the corn
and cotton in low places. Creeks that
have never been known to rise out of
| their banks overlooked. doing cOnSid-
cradle damage to the portions OF the
| crop along their banks. The iron
bridge over a creek just north of Tai
iahatchie river was so damaged by the
high water that it was unsafe for the
| trains to cross.
President J. c.. Hardy, Of the A. &
M. College, says extensive prepara-
| tons are being made for the Farmers
and Industrial Convention, which is to
be held there from July II to IA. Some
of the most prominent farmers in the
State will be present and deliver ad
| dresses. President Hardy says that
| pasturage will be furnished free for
all stock belonging to those who may
come through the country to attend
the meeting, and meals may be had on
the grounds for 25 cents each.
Pat Geary, one of the oldest engi-

A Remarkable Onion Crop.

A communication from Sumas,
Whatcom Co., Wash, on the boundary
between the United States and Can
ada, says that H. Sines and associates
nave just completed the harvesting OF
their crop OF onions, which is certain
ly a record breaker. The result is
1900 pounds, or over nineteen tons
per acre. For the entire crop they
lave been offered $18 per ton, or lit
lie more tnan $340 per acre. This is
IN amount sufficient to buy tue lana
a, 500 per acre, clear it at cost o.
100 per acre and leave $40 with
Aich TO pay for the seeding, cult
yaLing, harvesting and marketing.
such results make plain why farming
pays in Whatcom county, and on land
worth from 500 to $500 per acre.
The land upon which this crop was
grown belongs to George Booking,
and adjoins the town of Sumas on Tie
west. Eight months ago this land was
GOV cred with brush, stumps and logs,
and with water covering portions OF
it the greater part of the year. There
is much such land around Sumas and
the only fertilizer it needs to make it
produce such crops is that used by
Mr.. Sines-physical exercise and more
of it.

mercial fertilizers mix the different
elements in just the right proportion
for different crops, taking into consid-
Grafton the section of the country in
which the fertilizer IS to be used, as
the nature of the soil differs in diff
ferent sections. Barnyard manures
and the blowing under of leguminous
crops are excellent methods for en-
riching the soil, but in many cases
the proportion of the three elements
in the manure is not right for the par
ticular soils to which they are applied.
Legumes have very large proportion
of nitrogen, and if the soil happens to
need the other elements more the ap-
plication of too much nitrogen through
the blowing under of legumes has
tendency to do it harm. Local con-
ditions and the composition of the
soil, and taking into account the par
ticular crop to be planted, should gov
ern in all cases where the selection
of fertilizer is to be made.

Use of Lime in Farming.

1t is not possible in every instance
to indicate certainly whether lining
is needed. 1t will be needed sooner
or later on all light uplands where
lime is not abundant, and where the
soil has gotten into an acid condition
from the residues of fertilizers or from
humus
1t is needed on heavy clays that
have become too adhesive, and on re-
claimed swamp lands. 1t will help
where heavy sod is turned or large
amount of vegetable matter is turned
under. Where lime is cheap, it may
for time be used for the purpose OF
releasing potash in the soil.
Lining alone will not enrich poor
land. 1t may respond for a time, but
Will soon be exhausted of the mate
rlals on which lime can act. On any
lands the keeping up of the humus con-
tent IN the soil in connection with linn
ing is important. The frequency of
inning must be determined by cir
cumstances. A single heavy dressing
VI lime may correct the undue plas-
ticlty OF a clay and retain it all in a
nocculated state for years when titled
Juulclously, and afterwards light ap-
phcatlons not too far apart will retain
the desirable texture. For the correc-
tlon OF acidity one heavy application

depend largely upon the frequency of

ior intensive culture in vegetable pro-
uuctlon the first dressing may need

more bushels per acre of Stacked lime

petter to prove by actual test whether
Ioo or more bushels will give better
paying results than light applica-
ton to large area.

ADVANTAGES of Fall Planting.

The experience of recent years has
caused me to change my opinion TO
some extent on this question, writes
Prof H. E. Van Deman. When | see
the vast amount of work for the fruit
grower crowded into our late spring
I have come to the conclusion that 1t
is advisable for him to do all that
work that is practicable in the autumn.
Tn visiting fruit growers l find that
many others are coming to the same
conclusion.
Trees, plants and vines properly
planted in autumn survive our winters
and are in better condition to make
an early start in spring than those
planted in the spring, after waiting
for the ground to become sultaple
for working, then preparing 1t ana
planting. The fall-planted will be 1T
much better condition to wlthstan'
the almost certain drouths OF summer
than the spring planted. light mulch
of we'll rotted manure spread over the
roots will help in resisting the effects
of excessive cold and do good to the
plants.
Last fall | received from the nurser
les 400 trees, for which l prepared the
soil carefully, plowed deep, thorough
ly pulverized the soil, making holes
full size to admit the roots, cutting
back all bruised or broken portions
but not cutting back the tops until the
following spring. The soil was packed
firmly and raised in slight mound
about the tree, then slight mulch
added for protection, after which the
fall rains moistened, and frosts fur
Their pulverized the soil. Althoug'
some of these trees froze back durin
the winter, l only lost four, and the
had made fine growth, being far in
advance of the spring-planted trees at
the present writing.

efficiency a very long time, and it is
washed from the soil by drainage or
sinks into the subsoil. Hence light
dressings at more frequent intervals
are more likely to produce economical
results than heavy applications at long
intervals,
On soils in a good state of fertility
applications of fifty bushels or less
once in six to ten years will maintain
heavy lands in good state of product
iveness. On light soils, 25 bushels per
acre will often show the maximum re-
suits, and hence more frequently -
peated should be the rule.
Our report does not advise the linn.
ing just before Indian corn, rye or
millet, though in some good famine
sections it is the practice to lime be-
fore planting corn. Beets and the
cabbage family onions, muskme'one
and cucumbers seem to thrive better
Immediately after lining. The lar~-
est returns will be had in using tho
lime as a top dressing on clover when.
ever it is seeded in the rotation.
Lime should be applied on the fresl
n'owing and then narrowed in and
there is some reason to think tho
where the sod is heavy and is to 10
1eep plowed division of the ar~'
cation. part uron the sod and rart
later as a topdressing, would be me-
beneficial.

Lime is largely used in the prepar
ton of Bordeaux mixture and other
fixtures for insecticidal and fungi

n Bordeaux mixture is to convert
sulphate of copper into a hydrate Ct
copper, making the mixture neutro'

connection with sulphur to make tho
mixture more adhesive.

PIANOS ON VIEW

81 think that Benjamin Starr was one
of the worlds greatest genius in piano
building" said l.. Z. Thayer of the
Thayer Piano Co., yesterday. Mr..
Thayer is the father of Attorney Wade
Warren Thayer, and came here from
Richmond, Ind, about two months ago.
He was connected with the Starr Piano
Co. In wholesale way for a number
years and has sold pianos to the trade,
in every State in the Union. After
his arrival here he concluded that Ho.
nolulu was good location for a big
piano house. He organized a company,
of which he Is at the head, and ordered
a big stock. The wrecking of the Ala.
media postponed his opening; but now
the stock has been received and every
one who has visited the piano rooms
on Hotel street, has found the largest
and finest display of pianos ever made
In Honolulu. The stock composed prin.
cipally Of the Steinway and Starr
makes, with some Of the Kranich &
Bach, and other pianos OF different
styles. Later line of music boxes will
I've installed.

of 347,SS6 tons, as compared with the
cane crops of last season. The most
important increases are those of 150,.
900 tons in Cuba, $4,000 tons in Porto
Rico, $4,000 tons In Brazil and $4,000
tons in Nautilus. Only few crops
are exne'ted to show smaller outturn
than last year. including decreases Of
$1,000 tons in Louisiana, 10000 tons In
Mexico and 5000 tons in Java. We are
looking for production OF 100000
tons In Cuba, provided weather condi-
lions prove to be normal, because of
the more than sufficient cane in the
fields to give such a yield and, for
the reason that nearly all factories
have been so much improved this sea
son as to enable planters to obtain
greater extraction than formerly from
the same amount Of cane.
INCREASE IN WORLDS CROPS
The new beet and cane sugar crops Of
the world give promise of breaking tho
record, with production in 1866 of
l1.72S,000 tons, against l9O4-5 crops or
3,4Sl,736 tons, or an increase of 2.2iG,.
26i tons, and against the largest pre-.
yious production of 11,OO2,426 tons,
which was the outturn of 1902 cam.
paign. In the latter campaign the
total estimates were: Cane, 4,O7S,944:
European beet, 6,760,356 and AmericaA
beet, 1853, l26 tons, while for 1905 O6
the total estimates are: Cane, 4,9l3, 900;
European beet, 6,55O,000, and Amerl.
can beet, 265, 900 tons, showing 10000
tons smaller production of beet In Eu.
rope. but increases of 102, 900 tons In
the American beet crop and 1874, 900
tons In the cane crops Of the world for
1866, compared with 1902. Al.
though we look for large consumption
next year, the visible stocks are now
abundant and the increase of more
than 100000 tons in the production
Is likely to cause much pressure to
sell, until the bulk of the crops are mar.
keted, resulting In low level of prices,
which may continue throughout the
campaign, unless cane and beet plant
ings are reduced.
