A New PennsyIvanla Industry.

are ripe, and the layers of white fat
take on the spicy flavor Of the fruit.
Mr.. Firman intends to develop the
best variety of persimmon and the
finest breed of opossum, and by next

dred animals at fancy prices. One

The British Farmer.
His Reputation For Skill and Success Largely Based on The Work Of
Former Generations Failing Behind His Competitors
JAssEs IosSG. I, 1Iancl,ester esuaralan..


we British have renowned
name as successful agriculturists. 1t
is not altogether certain that In the
new century we deserve IL. Our
fame is in large part due to the
skill and perseverance Of the men
of the past, the builders of the
shire, the Shorthorn, the Leicester
and the Southdown, as we'll as Of our
white breeds Of swine, which are all
most as great triumphs of the art of
the breeder Speaking for myself,
/ have found that in foreign countries
reverence for the name of British
farmers has been mainly due to the
great. superiority of British livestock
as it has presented itself for COMPARE
son with the varieties which are cons
mon in those countries. 1t is some-
times claimed, not by other people,
but by ourselves, that we grow a
larger quantity of wheat per acre
than the farmers of any other coun-
try. Il this were absolutely true It
calls for no special compensation,
for our wheat area is very small by
comparison with that of other great
countries, especially where prices are
higher, and where, in consequence,
the crop is grown upon soils much in
ferior to. those which are employed
for the purpose in this country.
If we submit ourselves to self-ex-
animation and are candid and con-
scientious, we shall f1nd-that Is If
we are sufficiently acquainted with
the work of others-that we are
being distanced in the race. Our but
ter is undersold by the brands of
Denmark and France because of their
general superiority. The average
cheese OF our colonies, Canada in
particular, is superior to the average
cheese produced by ourselves. We
cannot compare with the French in
the production Of fine poultry. and
our fruit is beaten out of the market
by that which we import from Tas-
mania and from across the Atlantic.
Even among livestock, in which de-
partment we are supposed to be pre-
eminent, we are told by Sir Walter
Gibbey that we are beaten by the
breeders of carriage horses of the
Continent, while the Americans are
preferring the imported Percheron
and Flemish dray horses of France
and Belgium to those upon which we
pride ourselves so highly. We make
no general attempt to improve any
one national product, such as has
distinguished the Germans, who have
doubled the sugar percentage of the
beetroot; the Americans, who have
so marvellously improved the maize
plant; and the Canadians, who, by
an equally wise system of selection.
have increased the yield Of the oat.
the potato and clover and other
farm plants.
/ claim, then, that the inferior
yield of our crops from year to year
is largely owing to the inadequacy of
the supply of~plant food in the form
of manure, and this inadeQuacy is
due not only to under production on
the farm, to the spoilation of much

Fertilizer Tags Ready.

All arrangements have been perfect
ed by Captain J. F. Johnson, chief
clerk in the fertilizer office in the
department Of agriculture at the state
capitol, for the sale of fertilizer tags
which will begin at once. In antici.
patton Of this rush, Commissioner Hud-
son has bought eight million tags, which
have arrived and are stored in the
capitol.
These tags are placed ten to ton Of
fertilizer and twenty to ton Of cot
ton seed meal, the price of the first
being one cent each, and Of the latter
one-half cent. The reason for the diff
ference is that fertilizer is sacked ten
sacks to the ton, and cotton seed meal
at twenty sacks to the ton.
The department finds that the sales
Of cotton seed meal are increasing an.
nually, as the farmers are finding this
to be most desirable fertilizer, in adj
dition to it's well known feeding value.
1t is fro mthe sale OF all these tags
that the district agricultural schools Of
the state are supported, and the pro-
ceeds derived this year will in all prob
ability be greater than ever, for the
indications are that the farmers will
plant less cotton and fertilize more
heavily. The sale of these tags Is
heaviest during the months Of January,
February and March.

that Is produced. but primarily co the
TACT that our farms are generally too
large in area to enable the tenants
to produce suflciency Of manure.
II the same capital employed in
farming four hundred acres were de-
voted to the intense culture OF $50
acres the yield might be so increased
every rod being cultivated like gar
den, that the net profits might be
doubled; and such is the result of
intense culture wherever it is to be
found.
intense farming not only means
abundant manuring and thorough
cultivation, but the employment Of
most carefully selected seed and an
equipment in the. form Of farm tackle
which will enable the men to get
throughsthe work with greater speed
and perfection, and thus to avoid
late sowing, late hoeing and late har-
vesting, and all the risks which at.
tend each of these operations. It
is an axiom that late work Is gem
orally fatal work, and yet there are
so many who postpone haymaking to
the last moment, in the belief that
by obtaining slightly greater weight
they obtain greatersvalue, than which
there can be no greater mistake. In
the late hay crop large proportion
of the food matter Of the plant has
found its way into the seed, so much
of which is Shed owing to its over
ripeness, leaving the stems nothing
better than straw. On the other
hand, the early cut grass crop, If
slightly lighter in weight, is much
richer in food value, going further
with stock and giving breathing time
to the farmer between hay time and
harvest, enabling his men to get
among the roots with their hoes,
while it practically insures second
crop of grass, which in so many cases
never appears when a crop is cut
late. If we would insure fine grass
crop, we should not only insist on
early cutting, but on the liberal en-
ployment of phosphate manures,
which insure the more luxuriant
growth of the clover family, and
which in consequence so improve the
value of the manure produced by
their consumption, owing to the nj
trogen they contain, that the grasses.
responding as they do to heterogeneous
manures. are specially helped in their
turn. Thus it is that phosphates
have double role, direct and fndt-
rect.
We have to-day, for the asking,
facts which are the result Of both
scientific and practical work, which
are sufficient to help every occupier
Of the soil to succeed; they not only
explain facts but principles, the
knowledge of which Is so essential.
Farming is no longer process Of
soil scratching and seed broadcast
ing; In good hands it is a scientific
process, and the more brainy the
work of the man who reads and
thinks and acts upon what he learns
the more solid is the result.

Socialism in Hungary.

In Hungary noticeable factor,
writes our Budapest correspondent,
is the enormous influence that Ger
many, Italy and England WELD.
Every work of value dealing with the
diverse forms of Socialism has been
translated and scattered broadcast in
all disaffected and disconnected areas.
Fines and Imprisonment increase, but
the literature Of social democracy is
flooding village, hamlet and town
with new ideas and providing new
forces. Certainly one of the best
equipped printing establishments l
have ever seen outside Of England is
that of the Socialists in Budapest. 1t
is an enormous place. 1t represents
money and it makes money, and
money means organization, and from
this flows power.-Pall Mall Gazette.
