Five Millions for Fence.

The great care that should be exer-
cised in making introductiOns of new
forms of life is illustrated In the
plague of English rabbits that is now
such a menace to agriculture in Aus
tralia that they are about to build a
wire fence at an expense of $5.OO0,O00.
We have a mild example of the
same character in the English sparrow
which was originally brought Ovet
here to reduce the number of worms
that were nuisance in some Eastern
cities. We do not know that they ever
accomplished anything in that line,
but they did multiply until now they
are a great pest in all our large cities
and towns.

was good advice to proportion the diff
ferent elements so as to have rich,
mellow, porous soil. The rest of it
was not only needless labor but actual
mischief. A few plants do better i'm
sifted soil. The majority do better in
loose, mellow, but not sifted soil,
Experts give long explanation as to
why this is so, showing that the par
ticles of the unsifted earth are fibrOus,
while the sifted soil is left i'm rounded
atoms, etc. l do not pretend to know
as to this, but | found out years ago
by experiment that sifted soil was no
over merely well pulver-
lied earth for most plants. Nor is
there any necessity for baking all the
soil used i'm pOtting. 1t is easy enough
to get earth that is free from angle
worms, and if they do appear, lime
water will soon finish them.

The following item is from the De
Funiak Springs Herald:
The Government of New South Wales
has spent over $4,OOO,OOO for all kinds
of means to prevent the growth of the
rabbit plague, and it has now been
decided to fence in the whole country
with an immense wire net.
The expense for this wire net is esti-
mated to exceed $5,OOO,OOO, and it is
thought that the wire required for this
purpose can be imported from abroad
at the cost of about $3.50 per mile, de-
Hvered at Sydney.
The rabbit plague is increasing from
year to year, which is best shown by
the fact that such an enormous amount
as $5,0OO,00O, or nearly 10 per cent Of
the annual revenue of the country is
to be spent for this purpose.

A correspondent of Coleman's Rural
World, writing from Mississippi, set
out some of the causes of failures with
commercial fertilizers. Most of his
article is as applicable to Florida as
to Mississippi. About the only ex-
ceptiOn being what is said about using
fertilizer i'm the fall. In this state it
is best to use it when the crops are
growing, if you have winter crops a
fall application of fertilizer is as
necessary as spring application is in
other places.
In the application of commercial fer
tiliZers Tor even stable manure) there
is a right and a wrong time i'm which
to apply them; and right and wrong
way in which to apply them, and i'm
this instance ''time" and method are
of such vital Importance as to often
times be the determining or cOntrOll-
ing factor upon which hinges the sue
cess or faiiSre, profit or loss, of the
application.
Where there is a financial loss fol
lowing their use, it is reasonable to
suppose that the loser will hunt
around little for something or some
body that can be made to serve as a
''scapegOat,'' and upon which he will
try to shoulder all the blame; and this,
Oftentimes, when he alone is to blame
in the matter: First, for using a
wrong kind of fertilizer! second, for
ON Twin of nd
last, but by no means least, applying
it i'm a wrong manner. For instance,
where the wrong kind of fertilizing
agents are employed, we would men
ton the application of heterogeneous
fertilizers, as nitrate of soda, cotton
seed meal, hen manure or stable ma
nure, or even complete fertilizer, to
lands that already contain an excess
of nitrogen, as evidenced by excessive
growth of weed, straw, stalk, vine,
foliage, and woody growth generally.
1t is like carrying Goals to New
castle,' or potatoes to Ireland" to ap
ply to any soil that which it already
contains to excess.
For instance, where fertiliZing
agents are applied at wrong time, we
would cite the reader to cases where
the application of phOsphates and the
potash salts is deferred until spring,
when it might just as easily, and as
cheaply, as well as with better pros
poets of positive profits, have been ap-
piled i'm the fall or winter months.
While fall and winter is the fright
time'' for the application of phOs-
pilates, and the potash salts. i'm order
that best results may follow their use,
it is not the 'best'' time nor the
right time, but, on the contrary, it
is the wrong time to apply nitrogen
Gus fertilizing agents of any kind lex
cept it be a small amount to fall-plant-
ed crops, as wheat, oats, barley, rye,
etc. in the fall or winter. 1t is better
to defer the application until spring;
and, in the case of such extremely
soluble and quick-acting substances as
nitrate of soda, it is better to make
the application after the crop is up.
AS instances to how fertilizers may
be applied in a wrong manner, we
would cite the reader to too diminu-
tive applications, as 100, $50 or 200

pounds of a lOw-grade 49,, SLIP or
S-2-2) fertilizer per acre. LOw-grade
fertilizers are not profitable, even
when literally applied; for the reason
that: First, the amount of actual
plant food applied per acre (frOm 10 to
"A pounds tOtaD is so infinitesi-
mally small as to be hardly appreci-
able. The wonder is that i'm these
dlmlnutive doses, they increase crops
at all; and the fact that they do, Ger
taInly speaks volumes in their favor:
and goes to show what they would be
capable of accomplishing when liberal
ly, yet judiciOusly, applied. Second. in
the lOw-grade fertilizer there is so
much useless material inevitably pre-
sent in them, on which the freight
rates are just as high as On the actual
plant food contained therein. that it
rarely exceeds 100 pounds phosphoric
acid, 40 pounds nitrogen, and 40
pounds potash to the ton of 1000
pounds; the balance, 1,76O pounds. be-
ing of no value to the farmer or his
crops. 1t is an impossibility to use
lOw-grade materials and make a high
grade fertilizer out of them.
Another fact that should be born i'm
mind is, that, let the application be
large or small, crops never remove
from the soil all the fertilizers suppJied
them; hence the necessity for applying
them in excess of any and all demands
the crop to be planted can possibly
make upon them, and this is Just ex-
actly what 100 or 200 pounds of low
grade fertilizer will never do. 1t
would require 600, 800 or 1000 pounds
of high-grade fertilizer anaIyzing
1854, 1885, of 1886 to do it: and.
given a soil with vegetable matter in
abundance in it, these latter high
grade fertilizers, although higher in
price, are really the cheapest; and the
more liberal applications above men,
toned are decidedly the most profit
able. Why so? Because, while feed
ing the crops, they are at the same
time enriching the soil; while the 100
or 200 pounds of low-grade fertilizer
are just as surely impOverishing the
soil.
Last, but by no means least. we
propose to briefly consider the meth
cd of application. and its bearing I'D
on the degree of success or failure
following their use. In my experience.
if you want to fail, either partially or
wholly, then apply in ''hill'' or "driII,'
letting the caustic chemicals come in
immediate contact with the seed, and
the concentrated, and sometimes act
ually, caustic nutrient solution come
in contact with the tender rootlets,
causing the plants to fire. and you
will be apt to get your wish, l. e.,
failure. But, if you wish to succeed
with them, in almost every instance
we would advise broadcast appTca-
ton, then pillow, disk and harrow them
in, not exceeding three inches deep. |
Pillow, disk and harrow, if necessary,
again and again; and don't let up in
the good work, nor weary in well |
dOing,' until every square inch of soil |
has been thoroughly broken; has re-
ceived its pro rata share of the applied |

FINEST BANK NOTE PAPER.

family at Dalton, Mass, because all
the paper for the United States green
backs is made there. 1t is one of a

have made paper for more than a CEN
tury. The founder was Zenas Crane.

ed he had to have large quantity of
rags. But rags Were scaTicer in those
days than now. The Italian had not
then arrived, the junk shop was un-
known, and, although the rag buyer
passed through the streets of Boston
once week, he had not yet appeared

resulted in an appeal TO the people.
based on high economic and patriotic
grounds. Haldbills appeared with the
headlines in large type: Americans,
encourage your own manufactures,
and they will improve! Ladies, save
your RAGS
They were carried to all the homes
and shops in Berkshire and adjoining
counties, urging every woman who
has the good of her country and the
interests of her family at heart to
save her rags and send them to the
new factory or to the nearest store
keeper, "and a generous price will be
paid" When the mill was ready the
rags were there in abundance, and op-
erations at once commenced. The
working force consisted of four men.
two girls and smS. boy with Zenas
Crane as superintendent and chief pro.

molds. and the output was 100 pounds
