How to Estimate Value of Fertilizers.
Editor Florida Apriculturist.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Two items in your issue of May
Ist, deserve special notice-the re-
marks of a fertilizer manufacturer,
regarding low grade goods, and the
inquiry (taken from the Southern
Cultivator), as to analysis of mix
ture of given chemlcals-the one
showing the desire to "get something
for nothing" the other the want OF
information for which many growers
look to the agricultural papers.
That the demand for cheap CD
goods will be met by the manu-
facturers goes without saying, but
it is equally true that ''guano" and
''bone compound" will no longer
satisfy the intelligent grower.
All fertilizer users should be able
to figure the analysis from raw ma
terials, and then use their judgment
as to doing their own mixing, or
having the factory do it for them.
Once get the idea in mind that the
per cent" of plant food means just
that many pounds in the hundred,
and it is simple enough. Take the
example given: 1000 pounds of
Go per cent? phosphate means ESQ
pounds of acid 200 pounds of Nj
trate of Soda means 38 pounds Of
ammonia. 200 pounds of Muriate of
Potash means 100 pounds Of pure
potash. Thus, 1000 pounds contain
the above number of pounds of plant
food, and 100 pounds would have one
twentieth of those amounts, or 1873
pounds phosphate, 10 pounds am
monia and five pounds potash,
which would be the analysis OF
the mixture, 12 2-3 per cent phos-
phate, nearly per cent ammonia
and S per cent potash.
Following is the most convenient
form for figuring analysis:

The First Florida Peaches.

The produce papers report that the
first peaches of the year were received
in New York on Monday, May g.
They came from near Lake Helen,
and sold for $500 per crate. One
paper says that the shipment was 27
crates, while another mentions only
nine. ~ more crates came in on Tues
day, and as many more on Wednes-
day, by that time the market dropped
to from 5000 to $500.

orchardist, farmer or truck grower
will certainly profit by such plans,
unless he has already passed that
stage, in which case, like the begin
ner, he "already knows"
The storm of last September did
such damage to the peach and pear
orchards of West Florida, that but
little fruit will be shipped from this
region this season, but all indica-
tions are that this years growth will
put them back in good shape again,
and the interest shown by Northern
homeseekers indicates an increased
acreage in the near future.

He needs so to direct his labor and
so to market his crops that he can
have a balance to the good for the
work he is doing. He will cultivate
fewer acres, but he will cultivate them
better. He will not charge all his
failures to the weather or to his 1oca-
tion or to hard luck. If his crops are
eaten up with insects he will want
to know why. If the soil does not
produce this year what he expected
he will want to know why, and he
ought to know why.
That is the new farming springing

toes were UP to from $2.75 to $500
per barrel in New York and Phila-
delphia, with prospect of going still
higher. Of course, this means an ad-
vance also for new potatoes. Most
of the Florida crop has been market
ed, but if anyone has late crop, it
would be we'll to hold them few
days longer.

Another item: In putting out fertil-

'tatoes or what take, say three
rows on which I double the amount
of phosphate used in regular formula
on another three double the ammo
MIA, and on another three double the
potash. Also experimental rows on
which the plant food is derived from
different sources, may be found an
advantage.
1t is needless to say that these ex-
periments are followed in detail in

AT THE GRAND VAUDEVILLE.

One of the largest crowds ever con-
gregated in the Grand Vaudeville the
atre saw the production of a splendid
bin and were delighted with the en-
tertainment provided The show was
first class in every respect and time
and again the singers and comedians
were encored with much enthusia sn
1t Is estimated that no less than 500,
which is a most unusual number for
Monday, assembled to see some Of the
stars of the vaudeville world who had
been gathered together from all parts
of the country.
The comedians made a wonderful hit
with the amusement seekers, the scream
ing rough comedy artists being about
the best that could be found The
black face comedian was also a big
factor in keeping the big crowd amused
and his jokes were especially ap-
preeiated as they were entirely new
and original The colored man was the
real article too, and he made a great
success of his attempt to keep the
audience in a state OF commissions.
Bertha Phillips songs were also we'll
received and she shows unusual ability
as a vocalist. She sang number of
popular songs that made a great hit
with those who had the pleasure of
hearing her Another attraction that
proved a winner was the johnson
trained dogs whose tricks were a
constant source of interest. This one
act S.one is worth the price of adj
mission.
Tomorrow a novelty in amateur per-
formances viii be introduced when the
women of Hammond will be given an
opportunity to prove their musical
ability as applied to whistling and
many a finished artist in this line is
expected to be brought to light. The
contest will no doubt be of interest to
all and the competition will probably
be lively as a handsome prize is offered
to the one who acquits herself with the
greatest credit.

ED ABBOTT TAKES BRIDE.
Gray-hRired bartender mt SOmmers
Place Fools His Friends.

Edward Abbott, the grey-headed bar
tender a Sommers' place, corner State
and Holman streets has taken unto
himself a bride. That is the news that
reached Hammond this morning from
Windsor, Cana, and Immediately mem
bers of the local bartenders' union of
which Mr.. Abbott is the president began
to get busy to give the veteran a
proper reception when he returns to
Hammond
Local bartenders are trying hard to
find a psychological reason for the
action of Mr.. Abbott who was sent to
the national bartenders' convention at
Toledo as a delegate and now returns
a benedict after living for years the
life of confirmed bachelor. His action
is all the more notable in that since he
entered the employ of Mr.. Sommers he
has never taken a day off.
Mr. Abbott left Toledo after the third
day of the convention and went to
Detroit and from there to Windsor,
Cana. having arranged with his bride
in Detroit 1t is said that the new
benedict has known his bride less than
a year before he took the eventful leap.
Although his grey hair might lead
some TO suppose that Abbott is getting
along in years." he pleads guilty to only
IS years.

SOUTH BEND INTERURBAN
GRANTED TIME EXTENSION
Board of Public Works Decides to Ac-
cede to Request of Attorney Meyers
to Allow Company Longer Period in
Which to Build.

The Chicago, Lake Shore and South
Bend railroad company, whose attor-
ney. f. J. Lewis Meyer appeared be-
fore the board of public works some
time ago, in order TO gain an extension
of time for the construction of the in
terurban road through Hammond. was
granted his request yesterday after
noon at a prolonged meeting of the
board.
Some time ago Mr.. Meyer took the
members of the city administration
to Crown Point and over that part of
the road which is already completed
and succeeded in impressing the mem
bers with the fact that his company
is entitled to the extension. The prin-
cipal delay of the construction work is
due to the delay in completing the
power station at Michigan City.
The time in which to complete the
work as laid down in the franchise,
expires next month. The extension
grants the company until July of next
year for the completion of the work.
