The Value Of Silos.

We have long felt that the use OF
silo would be great advantage 10
all cattlemen, who did not turn their
stock out on the range to shift FOR
themselves. We have at various
times published articles on the SUD-
iect hoping to interest them III the
matter. Now we are able to present
the testimony of one of the professors
at Lake City, who gives figures based
upon his own experience. We do not
see how you can escape the conclusion
that the silo is good thing. This win
ter will be the time to make your
plans and arrangements to have one
rext season. While the expense OF
building the silO and setting a machine
to cut up the material which you may
grow to fill it, will be heavy, yet it
is an Investment that will be very
profatibly.

The Citrus Fruit Market.

The Fruit Trade Journal and the
Fruit and Produce News both report
the receipts of Florida oranges this
last week as being in much better con-
dition and selling for a better price.
Good stock sold for from $3.50 to $500,
with some fine large fruit bringing as
much as $4.OO.
Reports from this state Indicate that
nearly or quite threefOurths of the
seasons crop has already been ship
ped.
Another car of Arizona oranges has
been sold and brought still higher
prices, boxes averaging $6.4O and half
boxes 63.4O.
NaveLs from Southern California
are coming i'm much larger quantities
than was expected. The fruit is bet
ter and sells higher.

English Walnuts.

We find an item in the St. Augustine
Record, which claims that English
walnuts could be prohtably grown in
this state Is it fact or only sup
position?
We have always understood that
this tree could not be successfully
grown in Florida. We find that the
Glen St. Mary Nurseries do not Of
fer trees of the English walnut at all.
They do offer trees of the Japanese
walnut and recommend it highly. This
is a nearly-related species, but the
nuts are smaller and have a thicker
she'll
The Summit Nurseries offer trees
of the English walnut but do not say
a word about them, merely quoting
size and price. They also offer and
recommend the Japan walnut.
If any of our readers know of the
English walnut being successfully
grown in this state we shall be very
glad to hear from them.
Some idea of the vast extent of the
English walnut industry in California
may be gathered from the statement
that up to the present time nearly

Directions for Sowing and Perpet-
ua1ly Maintaining a Crop of
Alfalfa.

The following was written for the
Southern CultivatOr:
First. Alfalfa will grow on very dry
land. well above the water line. To
prepare the soil it must be thoroughly
and most intensely cultivated and
made true to the depth of 6 to 8
inches. If you do not cultivate
thoroughly you will fail. l use my
Double Action AS Cutaway Harrow,
2G-inch Rev. Sully Disc PlOw and 8
foot Smoothing or Grading Harrow.
When it is intensely cultivated | would
use 10 to % yards of thoroughly de-
composed yard manure to the acre,
and where there is no lime in the SOIL
use three or four barrels of air.
sIaked lime. then with the Double
Action Harrow mix it thoroughly with
the surface soil, then sow three or
four hundred pounds of Nitrate of
Soda and % pounds of Alfalfa seed
between lines to each acre. then har-
row with the Smoothing Harrow i'm
four directions, working the seed into
the soil about 1 and One-half inches,
then roll it smooth.
With this treatment i'm a fair sea-
son. One-tenth of the heads should be
Ill bIcSSOln III dbouI HIly-H
When the first crop is cut, sow to 10
pounds more seed to the acre. take the
Double Action Harrow. set at a light
angle and go over the field in opposite
direction. then in about fifty-five days
more you should have another crop
ready to cut 1t will be well to repeat
this narrowing process twice each
year until Il perfect stand is obtained,
adding little new seed each time,
and every third year thereafter, re-
peat the narrowing process, adding
little more seed. also, each year add a
moderate amount of decOmposed yard
manure.
The best way to dry alfalfa is to put
it upon racks. 3 feet square and l foot
high. putting enough on each rack to
make Il hundred pounds of dry hay
and let it remain there until dry.
That keeps the ground free so that the
plants can keep growing without in
terruptiOn.
The Florida agriculturist., 1905-12-27

many days have we known it to run
along at 80 to 90, for several days at
a time. while we who live in north
ern and middle Florida, know that
when it gets above so we complain
bitterly of the heat.
My object in these few lines, is not
to complain so much of northern eli
mate or eXtol our Florida climate
as it is to correct as far as | can
the mistaken ideas of the real climatic
condition of our seasons as compared
with that of the North.
Those of our northern friends who
may stay with us through a summer
will find they have not suffered with
heat as much as they had thought
they must before trying it. The
summer of Florida is much longer
than in Michigan. but of more even
temperature all through.
For my part am well pleased with
a Florida climate, as rule, and do
not see how any one can reasonably
find any fault with it.

Wisconsin VS.. Florida.

We have a State Horticultural So
ciety in Florida 1t has been i'll eX-
istence for many years and has ac-
complished much for the benefit OF
the people of the state. But it has
not done as much as it might have
done if it had not been so short of
funds all the time. So far we have
bad no money except that which came
from annual and life membership
fees. Other states are not so penuri-
Olls. Most of them make an apprOpria-
ton, more or less liberal, to help the
cause
A letter from the secretary of the
Wisconsin State Horticultural Society
says that they receive each year from
the state, 400. They expect that
this will be increased, in the near
future, to $4,000. Besides this 1000
copies of their annual report are print

one hundred and fifty carloads of
walnuts have been shipped to the
Eastern markets, representing more
than two-thirds of the entire crop.
This is an industry that might be
developed prohtably in Florida since
pecan growing is such a success.
