u THE RANCH AND ITS PRODUCTS facts and Theories Lucidly '* - Presented for the Benefit I and Instruction of Ranchers EDITED BY S. M. WOODSRIDGE, PH. t>. In procuring fertilizers the consumer must consider them in a dual light. First, their commercial value, and second, their agricultural value. The commercial or market value of a fertilizer depends upon the amount of plant food it contains, i. c.. the per cent of nitrogen, phosporic acid and potash. 'The prices of these elements depend upon the laws of supply and demand, as do the prices of other staples, all of which vary from time to time. The agricultural value of a fertilizer de pends upon the benefit derived from its use—its crop-producing power. Some times the highest priced fertilizers are of little or no value to particular crops and lands. Nitrogen, the most expensive ele ment, considered from a commercial standpoint, has been used at a positive loss, while potash, the cheapest element, has often been found to be ol the greatest agricultural value. From the commercial value of a fertilizer, therefore no illation as to its agricultural value can be made. Professor Cook said as far back as 1884, "Reliable information concerning agri cultural values must be sought upon the farm—not from the guesses of the farmers only, but from the actual weights of crops, grown under known conditions upon accurately measured areas. "When it was definitely settled tnat plants invariably removed certain ele ments from tbe soil and certain other elements from the air; further, these Work of the Army Worm on Orange and Lemon Trees; also on the Fruit fair" elements were always present and available, tbe conclusion was hastily reached that a chemist, by analysis alone, could, without seeing or knowing any thing about a field, state positively which crop would flourish upon it or what ele ment must be added to make it fertile. "Experience has shown tbe fallacy of this reasoning, nnd today no agricultural chemist would guarantee an average crop, even if his own analysis of an absolutely fair sample of the soil made him positive that the field contained twenty times more plant food than any harvest could possibly remove." Another authority wrote in 1886: "The old idea ot the practicability of analyzing the soil to determine what plant food is necessary to apply is exploded." Consider the matter. Tho average weight of a cubic foot of earth is about 000 pounds. An ucre of ground contains 43.560 square foot. If, therefore, wo take the weight of an acre of ground one foot deer, wo would have pounds, or 2,178 tens. Suppose wo should add to this Jive toi-.s of fertilizer. This amount would only b': equivalent to 2:1-100 of 1 por cent of the whole weight of the soil under <o:i --siderat-ion. it must be remembered, too. that as a rule the smaller portion of most fertilizers are plant foods, therefore the amount! which a chemist would have to find be still less than thai shown ■in the above calculation, rjuppose the fertilizer applied was ground bone,assum ing it contained 24 percent of phosphoric acid, this would show an increase over the soil analysis of 56-1000 of 1 per cent of phosphoric acid in tbe analysis, ami no chemist but the merest tyro would at tempt to guarantee any such infiniteel nially small amounts. Thus the whole matter of making up v fertilizer tj suit a soil fioni an analysis of it is reduced to an nbssnrdity. The only practical way of ascertaining the agricultural value of a fertilizer is by actual field trials, lor tbe roots of plants can detect and gather definite elements in a soil that the most sikllful chemist would be obliged to report as traces.

Atwater was the lirst to in . traduce this system of field trials some sixteen years ago, anil the system has since come into very general use. Prof. Cook of the New Jersey agricul tural experiment station said that the ■ystem hud been employed in that station J 'With tha following ends in view: "First—To awaken among farmers v edesire for accurate information. ".Second—To familiarize farmers with 1 the general appearance of materials which furnish nitrogen, phosphoric acid and i potash. "Third—To show the effects of these elements when used either alone or in combination upon different crops grown on widely different soils. r'ouriu —To train » body of men for studying the complicated uuestions in volved in tho rational and profitable use of fertilizers." 1 was criticised very severely by the director of our agricultural experiment station some three months ago for advo cating the method above set forth. Nev ertheless ho put out or caused to be put out a number of test plots. The director has until very recently main tained that tho needs of any crops could be ascertained by an analysis of tbe soil, especially on our so-called virgin soils. The writer has maintained that the only way to lind out the needs of any crop was to "put tlie question to the soil and get the answer in the cop." Next Sunday 1 will give a comparative result of the two theories, facts and con clusions being drawn from actual field work. The Army Worm There has been no moie exciting con test since Dr. Tanner attempted to starve himself than the watching of the pro gress of the army worm upon the citrus trees that were in.mured with a mixture of tar and glycerine. Indeed, excitement would run to high fever when one would watch them pass by the poisoned bait at the base of a tree, crawl slowly up, per haps three teet of tne trunk, only to have to recede because of the barrier of every day coal oil tar softened with a little sweet glycerine, it was astonishing how after their trip up and down the trunk, they would attack the bait which tbey had disdainfully passed by on their up ward journey, nnd then " keel ever aud give up tlie ghost. This preventive of this pe?t has been successful in the high est degree. Bee Culture and Orange Growing VV. S. Hart, who is admitted to be one of tbe most prosperous and enterprising orange growers in the state, and who is well known to nearly all of our orange growers through his connection with the Florida State Horticultural society, of which he was recently secretary, tells the readers of the Chicago Farm, Field and Fireside of his early trials and ultimate success in Florida. Instead of devoting his entire time to the orange business. Mr. Hurt wisely diversified his labors and secured money from the sale of honey to carry on his orango business. In hislet ter he says: "I came to this state nine teen years ago a poor boy. During the first three years misfortunes crowded fast upon lue. At the end of that time I was $24r> in debt and in possession of two swarms of bees. "By hard work, hard study and the hotp of my bees, I paid the last dollar 1 owed.and then for the first time set out a few orange trees on my own land. Since then I have prospered* beyond my most sanguine expectations. I have at the present time 116 colonies of bees, and my honey crop to date for the present year is sixteen and one-half tons, and will*bo in creased by some tons more before the present flow ceases. Have also taken about 800 pounds of wax. I expaet to show a remarkable record by August 10th, when the present flow of honey will have ceased. "A colony kept on scales and weighed each day has already given 510 pounds without any special care or nursing what ever. 1 think the aggregate honey crop in this immediate neighborhood tnis season will go over PVO tons. "This is the best season we have known here, yet I have before made an average of 235 pounds per colony, and for several veara in succession did not go below 185 pounds average weight through the apiary for a single season. ' 'In my seventeen years of beekeoping in this state I have never failed to make it pay except during two seasons, and even then expenses were nearly met. "As stated before, I have prospered, and now, besides having probably tbe best beekeeping outfit in the state, I have several as line orange groves as can be found, ami considerable lirst-elass real es tate besides. 1 give these facts merely to show what can be done by strict atten tion to business. "In good locations the average natural increase is from one to three, if one story eight-framed hives are used, and 35u pounds of honey. They often do much better than this. I have known one colony to increase naturally to nine strong ones in one seaaon, and give considerable sur plus honey besides. I use the ten-framed l.ungstrot'h hive, keeping the second story on the year round, and am sel dom bothered by swarming.—Florida Agriculturalist.

Who are the pupils at the colleges for women today I The dowdy, sexless, un attractive, masculine minded beings who have served to typify for nine men out of ten the crowning joke of the age—the emancipation of women? No; but love ly, graceful, sympathetic, earnest, pure minded girls in the flower of attractive maidenhood. And that is why the well-to do American mother is asking herself whether she would be doing tho best thing for her daughter if she were to en courage her to become merely a new world old-world young lady of the an cient order of things. For centuries the women of civilization have worshipped chastity, suffering resignation and ele gance as the ideals of femininity ; now we BLAZING SUN AND THIRST A Vivid Description of the Great Salt Valley Five Hundred Feet Below the Level of tbe Sea and Deadly Hot Many volumes liavo been written on that ptc-uilat piece of earth, Death valley, where so many fellow travelers went to never return, leaving their bleaching bones to mark the spot where they suc cumbed to the oporcssive heat, poisonous water and other elements destructive to life, and yet in reality little is known of tbe queer place. Colonel X. W. Brooks of Pomona and Mr. 13. M. Johnson of New York have just returned from this awful valley, which is the lowest spot of earth on the American continent, whore they went on a mining expedition, traveling tlie entire length of the valley, nnd through parts of N'yo ami Lincoln coun ties. Nevada. The colonel is n'great trav eler and old-time mining man, and has mudc many such trips, put to Mr. John son it was a new feature of life, and one of hazard and torture,traversing the dead man's trail, crossing the expansive sand deserts, crystallized salt beds. 500 feet be low the ocean, and often without water. As Colonel Brooks remarks, it la truly regretful that this phenomenal country cannot be seen by Ihe thousands of peo ple who read of its indescribable wonders, lie says that when the aescriptive pow ers of our most able writers have been exhausted in an effort to convey to the public a correct impression of the prcip itous depths, grandeur of its confines, combinations of all known minerals, and adding to this the solemnity of awe, of torture, of death to the many travelers, tbe reader's most grasping imagination is still vague ami as fur shoit of tbo reality as is the possibility of an ox drinking the waters of the San Francisco bay. An indefinite idea of the exceeding Jiandeur of the salt precipice, miles in engtb, that is situated at the head of Death valley, as the sun shines upon it each day of tbe 806 oi tho year, may be obtained by directing one's thoughts or imagination to the sublimity of Niagara falls, when its dimensions have beep mul tiplied by one hundred, and the water is converted into transparent icicles with the reflecting brilliancy of ten- thousand chandeliers, ami thus by some unnatural expanse of tue imagination an appre ciative sense of the stubborn facts is had; of the deep brown or oxide of iron color, the crstallizing salt extending over lifty miles in the lowest depth of Deulh valley. There is nothing, not, anything, that has a name or a shape, more abrupt, uneven, or topsy-turvey, than is this mass of salt as spewed from the unknown depths of tho earth. The projecting points, one above another, are generally oblong, and of all dimensions from one inch to five feet,"and ns the inner press ure of the unknown forces have thrust and crowded the millions of varied forms and sizes of fragments promiscuously to the surface, it presents a distressing con fusion. The salt is of tho ordinary hard ness of a stone. It is here that a wagon road is built without the use of a plow, pick, shovel or ax, but at great expense the high parts are hammered down, and make it possible for the tiavcler to pass. Messrs. Brooks aud Johnson credit themselves with being the most unfortu nate party that ever visited Death Valley, excepting.the many who perished in this forbidden srot. Their trip, as Colonel Brooks expresses it, was one of hellish disappointments, hazard of life, hard ships, and once a narrow escape from drowning in the Big Tejunga. The wind blew longer and hauler than he ever knew it before, at times maging it necessary to cable the wagons and ballast the blankets to prevent being blown out of existence. The toughest part of their journey was the long drives of fifty to sixty miles be tween water stations, over tha terrific sand beds, mountains and unbroken roadways. At times their wuter supply was com pletely exhausted, mules given out, and they compelled on one occasion to aban don the wagon and lead the mules a dis tance of twelve miles to water. Colonel Brooks says of nis Inexper ienced New York companion, as a desert traveler, that he is a compooition of the best material the blazing sun of the des ert ever shown upon, walking twenty miles a day through tho intliese beat, ris ing at 1 in tlie morning and traveling till 12 the following night. The two gentlemen went to Death val ley expressly to secure a most volauble quartz mine", said to have a value of $4uuo I er ton, and on arriving upon tlie ground at the extreme head of Death valley found, to' use Colonel Brooks' language, that it ivas not wo.th a 2-cent postage stamp.

FASHIONS FOR MEN What They Should Wear to Be Stylishly Dressed SHIRTS, COLLARS AND HATS Don't Forget Your Ducks If You Would Be in Style When You Are Yachting or Boating Tbo slimmer man of 1895 will be a very sensible looking person if ho conforms s:rictly with tho rulings of fashion. It may seem a littlo bit early to talk of what a young man should wear in the heated term, whether bo be in the city or off en joying the delights of a summer time va cation, but when it i., remembered that the men who actually make the fashions decided last winter what the proper sum- Three Bits of Qood Form mer caper would be, and tlie great facto ries for months havo been turning out tbe necessary material for those fashions, it is certainly time that the public should know what it is going to wear. There is a happy delusion widely prev alent that the Prince of Wales. K. Berry Wall or somo other person creates the fashions, and apropos of this, the origin of the colored shirt is attributed to the prince in the following way: He was out hunting and, being caught in a ter rific rainstorm, sought the shelter of a poor farmer's house. The prince was soaked to the skin, and it was quite nec essary thiit he should havo a change of clothing. The fanner fitted him out as well as bo oould, and in the way of a shirt could only offer him what is com monly called a blue and white jumper. This the prince donned, and a few min utes later a number of bis attendant no blemen rushed into tbe place in anxious search for his loyal highness. They all noticea the blue and white shirr, and tbe next day each and every one of them ordered several dozen colored shirts of their respective haberdashers. This is the way tbo fable ran. and whether it contained any truth can only bo sur mised. While tho English people wear what the prince wears, and tiio America peoplo ape tbe English styles to a certain degree tbe prince is largely governed by what his haberdashers and tailors say. They tell him what tbo proper thing will be, and he may slighty modify it in his or ders, but in the main he wears what the tailor, hatter and other shophu-.en decide what he should wear many months bo fore. Beginning at the top, the right kind of a summer man will wear a straw hat with a brim tiiree inches wide and a crown three inches high. Fancifully colored ribbons which bind it if tlie wearer is nt all gay in his attire, and if he wishes t < bo particularly proper he will have six or eight of these ribbons, all different in eel- Will Be a Popular Style or, and which will be worn on different days. The Hamburir or Alp.ne hat in pearl color will again be worn, trimmed as before, ribbons of tbe same color or of black. The summer derby will be a slight exaggeration of tbe spring affair, with the brim a trifle Hatter and wider, and tbe crown fuller. Next on the list is a collar, which is al ways a inuttei of acute interest to the am bitious man of fashion. The turndown collar will be quite an exaggerated affair, and will be as high in lront as tbe stand ing collar. The overlaps in front will measure four and three-quarter inches, while tho average high collar is only two and one-half inches high. As shown by the illustration, the low collar will bo quite an imposing affair. There is but ono little change in the proper standing collar, as shown in the design. Ties will be fuirly quiet. Hlack and white checks in silk tied in a loose knot will be worn to some extent, but the most popular ones will be of cotton, which this year are made better than ever, having silk Jaoquarded relief effects, and which can be worn in ties, knots or four-in hand. Fashion says tie your own scarf, but the made-up affairs are so adroitly put together that no dii'fernce is discern ible In tbe matter of shirts there is little change from last year. The negligeo affairs will form an important part of the'sumnier man's outfit, and they will be in all Kinds of colors and materials. A very pale blue will bo tho fashionable color and all tho shirts should be fitted with the high turn down collar with tbe deep points and link cuffs attached. One of the most important features of the summer man's wardrobe should be at least a halt dozen pairs of whito duck trousers. They should be mado very long, to allow for a" deep turn-up at the bottom. In lit they should be much looser than the trousers ot other material, and it is absolutely necessary that they are heavily creased down the leg. Double-breasted coats of rough serge should bo worn with the white duck pants, and a negligee shirt of pale blue. With low tan shoes and light blue socks of silk or merino and a while straw lint, gar nished with a blue and white ribbon, tho young man who wears this outfit can count upon being strictly in form. With informal dress of this kind gold jewelry should be avoided. Oliver shirt studs and silver link cuff buttons are the proper thing. This should be welcome news to most people, ns ornamentation in silver costs but little, whereas the gold is as dear as ever. Thero is no de cided change in the matter of clothing. Trousers arc not quite as wide as last year, having now reached a sensible medium. They should be mado twenty or nineteen and a half inches ut the knee, ana an inch narrower at tho bot tom. For formal afternoon wear the very proper young man will havo a frock suit, or a number of them, in different shades < f gray, tbe skirts of the coat reaching a trille 'below the knees. Fancifully col ored vests should be carefully avoided. They are out of date and bespeak for the wearer a lack of knowledge of what is right. The cutaway coat will be as long as in the winter, the skirts reaching to the bend of tho knee. Of course tho great The Double-breasted Suit coat for summer wear will, as usual, bo the light sack, mado long and curving in at the waist and litting tightly over tbe bins. Kor tho athletically inclined man there are numberless styles in yachting, ten' nis, riding, golfing and bicycling suits, but the fashions in those change compar atively little. '1 he owners of tennis flan nel suits will be frowned upon this sum mer if they attempt to force upon the public their flannel trousers for ovcryday wear, as tho duck affairs have supplanted them. Also the man who insists upon wear ing a yachting cap upon all occasions will be looked down upon by those "in the know." If he must have a soft hat let him wear an Alpine, or, if ho wishes to attract attention by His headgear, let him wear a Tain O'Shanter, which is growing in popularity. It is fair to presumo that a large number of benighted beings will adopt the long-peaked bicycle cap, to show that they are followers of tho wheel, and they are warned in good time not to do it. The cans arc not pretty, and be sides make the average man look like a tough. Another word of warning. In evening weal don't have any embroidery on youl shirt front. Use tho finest kind of plain linen that your pocket can afford, and for studs use only plain poarl buttons. flore English Gold LONDON, May 24.—London capitalists who had agreed to buy the Kawhide mine at Sonora, Tuolumne county, for something over 11,000,000, have secured an extension of time for thiity days by depositing a forieit of $50,009 and an ad vanced sum of $:!00.000 on the original purchase price.
