the ordinary lemon flOurishes only in

the f0nderosa lemon can be grown In

An Interesting FIant Which Produces
Fruit In Abundance.
While scientists and investigators Of

new varieties. it often happens that
nature in short time produces uneX
pected results. Such was the case with
the Ponderoea lemon. and it is a hybrid
or cross between the lemon and pome-

by most people. the grape fruit.

roo Poor For Commerce and Will q,
Fed on Farms.
Much question having arisen as t.
the conditions of the corn crop. which
the completion Of husking has revealed
the American Agricuturist. aften an
Independent investigation upon this
point. reports in part as follows:
1t Is the almost universal testimony
of the correspondents in the important
corn states, and particularly in the
| Ohio and Missouri valleys, that the
quality of the crop is even poorer than
was believed month ago. Completion
of husking emphasizes the fact that
the grain this year is unusually i'm
mature, soft and full of moisture and
that 1t is not of a quality to insure its
safe keeping.
Heavy Farm Feeding.
The comparatively high prices ruling
having led some to the opinion that a
larger part of the crop would be market
ed In commercial channels than usual,
the returns upon this point in decided
majority of cases were that more than
the ordinary percentage of this years
crop would be fed upon farms. This
Is accounted for by the poor quality of
the crop, which renders a large part of
1t unavailable for commercial purposes,
by the liberal supply of hogs and cattle
for feeding purposes and by the fact |
that on account Of its inferior nutritive |
value larger amount than usual must |
be fed in order to accomplish the same
results.
Fortunate Districts.
On the other hand, In q good many
ocalities, particularly in Kansas, Mis-.
souri, and the more southern part of the
)elt where the crop dried out better
he present disparity in price between
orn and fat hogs and cattle makes the
ale of corn more attractive and there
re indications that it will be sold

ure feeding. This tendency, however.
pparently Is about Offset by the fact
lat animals already fitted for market
re being held and further fed because
