So far as the climate and soil is con ned just as fine onions can be grown in tt, south as are grown in New England. We can grow as large crops as can be grown there, but we cannot keep them so well, as OU r onion crops are planted much earlier, aad mature two to three months sarlier than they do in New England. Maturing right in the hottest part of the year, they are more liable to rot, and unless the most complete arrangements are made for taking rare of them the loss from rot will be dis couraging, Except for awhile in the nrme and very early summer the omou is not much relished or sought after until winter comes, when the supply of vegetables k FresjTLd of the several Italian sorts sown in Georgia in February or early March if sown on good land and well cul tivated will produce onions by June or July that will weigh a pound apiece, and often times large than this. We have frequently grown the “giant Rocca” to weigh twenty pounds to the dozen, and by pulling them in lime and braidiug in long strings have kept them trough the winter by hanging them m a dark left where a draft of air circulated through it. There is a small variety, the “new queen, v that grows very rapidly and rarely fails to bulb. The “prize-taker” is also a sure producer. Notes on Gardening. There are not many gardens, either large or small, that are so rich in all the elements of fertility as not to be benefited by fer tilizer of some kind or another. Even if tho garden spot is rich in the accumulation of vegetable matter, as many old garden spots are from having heavy applications stable manure, together with the weeds and trash that are applied to it, it will almost al ways be found to be of great advantage to make an application of potash or phosphate or common lime even sometimes to such soil In such rich molds, if the mineral ele ments are not present in proportionate quantity to the ammonia that is likely to he present as the result of so much decaying vegetable matter, there are a great many crops that cannot be made to do their best iu it. In soils overrich in vegetable matter and lacking the miueral elements in fair proportion orops that are grown for their seeds or any of the vine plants are not apt to produce the best results. Corn is likely to go too much to stalk and leaves at the expense of ears. Beans are apt to go too much to bush or vine, and tomatoes like wise, and the meloD or cucumber will make a luxuriant growth of vine with a small proportion of fruit. Some plants like onions, tieets, cabbage, bush squashes and tho likes will produce fairly on such soils for awhile, but it will scon he indicated that some min eral matter must be applied to allow of these doing them best. To such rich humus soils it is always in order to make a small applioatioa yearl v of a mixture of potash md phosphate. For a half acre 150 to 200 lounds cf some good superphosphate, with lie like quantity of hardwood ashes, ap ilied early in the year and lightly plowed or larrowed in, will soon correct the evils that follow a superabundance of ammonia In the soil, which is always the case in soils over ricn in humus. When a garden is cultivated on the inten sive or high culture plan, which implies that something is kept growing in it all the year round, it is not apt to accumulate the humus that it does when it is made to grow vegetables up to midsummer or early fall, and then the weeds allowed to take it, and by the shade that they create and the matter restored to the soil by their decay later. Most auy soil that is kept shaded in the sum mer and fall will accumulate more ammonia than is taken from it by the crops. Those who have grown sweet potatoes to any con siderable extent know that the shade created by tho vines leaves the soil in a fine condition to make some other crops, the po tatoes taking only a small quantity of pot ash and phosphoric acid from the soil. The st ade promotes a supply of nitrate acid in the soil beyond what is used by the crop. There are several crops grown in the garden that are ameliorating in their effects, but not to the extent that a sweet potato crop is, for there are no other crops that make so complete a shade as a potato crop does. If it wore practicable to mulch all our crops that are grown during mid summer and autumn they could be grown to greater perfection usually than under the ordinary plan of cultivation. It would certainly re dound to the advantage of the soil. Where cropß shade the soil but little, and the plow kept constantly going to keep the crust broken and keep down the weeds under our burning sun, there is a great waste of am monia and burning out of the humus amounting to considerably more oftentimes than that consumed by the crop. Our late crops of cabbage and Irish potatoes are more easily grown under the plan of mulch than by frequent stirring of the soil And in the treatment of young fruit trees there is no plan by which they will thrive ao Wtll as the one of thoroughly mulching with pine or other straw before the summer beat sots in. Where one has an abundance >f pine straw at hand there will be no more profitable work to be done in the win tor than hauling in large quantities of it for ise m the orchard and garden simply to be isea as a mulch, for in itself it has no nanurial value worth mentioning. But, as laid before, mulching with any sort of p, erial preserves much of the valuable dements to the soil that would otherwise be wasted by a scorching sun. The question generally arises whether it s better to apply the manure broadcast or nake it in the furrows. Where a small luantity of manure is used, whether it be table manure or commercial, it will go urther toward a first crop by applying it in be furrows. Where there is enough manure 0 a *‘ow of a liberal application it is more ■'Treble in the end to apply it broadcast, iri rZt P* owin £ or harrowing it in. Manures PPUed in the one furrow beneath the grow ing plant is likely to firo or burn the Mm, more or less, whenever dry spells " ccur m July or August. We have seen 52 re cotton damaged by manuring it with of fertilizer applied in a narrow, u-gla fine than we have seen benofited by lucn application. So long as there is plenty or moisture about tho fertilizer placed in ims wav ao great amount of damage can ne done, but as soon as that line of moisture ones out damage is sure to result. Ib gardens it is much the best plan to manure broadcast.for nearly all our vegeta bles are -sadly fired when rank manure is applied j n the one furrow. Nearly every garden plant covers a considerable area with its roots, and the manure should be p.aced so that these roots ■ will find it in every direction. Robbekt Garrett, appeared the picture of health at the large reception given by himself and wn last Wednesday in Baltimore. Tomatoes. The first tomato we ever saw, says the Southern Horticultural Journal, was per haps sixty-five years ago. at thaf time called love apple, without any appreciable reason for the name, save the beauty of the fruit. It was suppose! to be poisonous, but later, some daring person ate of it—soon others began to taste out of curiosity; and after awhile some horticulturists and doc tors announced to the public that the fruit was edible and withal healthy. Few liked the taste at first, but appetite was soon edu cated to accept it as a valuable addition to the kitchen garden, and as healthy food having medicinal qualities which acted specifically on tho liver and kidneys. Now, after the lapse of half a century, almost everybody would think a garden very in complete without a liberal planting of the tomato. The appetite can be educated to eat and drink poisons as well as healthy food and driDks. Young ladies ignorant ot physiology have taken arsenic and eaten slate pencils to whiten the skin, and opium aiid powdered tobacco to thrill the nervous system; and young men generally, in this fast age, chew and smoke tobacco, drink whisky, etc. Man endowed with reason, strange as it might seem, soon acquires a vatiated appetite which grows into a habit so strong that their morals are not able to overcome. But an acquired taste for toma toes is unattended with evil consequences and hence commendable. The tomato is good raw, fried, stewed, or made into pre serves, pies and catsup. There are millions of cans filled every year, showing the gen eral popularity of this fruit and the great industry growing out of it. Early toma toes usually bring fancy, even fabulous prices; and what so well qualified to satisfy the urgent call as the genial climate and rich soil of the south, manipulated by the wide awake gardener. This plant is a great feeder and requires rich land to gather its food from. The plants we think should be set about four feet apart each way, which gives room for working among the rows, aud also gives the vines a better chance to grow—lets in the sunlight to ripen them evenly and well. They should be kept clean of weeds, and when large enough should be staked and tied up, or perhaps what is still better, make a trellis the length of the row, say eighteen inches high and train the vines over it—this insures a free circulation of air and prevents a speedy evaporation of water necessary to the health of the vine and the even ripening of the fruit In addition to this, after the vines begin to set fruit they should be mulched, which keeps the ground clean, and causes a longer retention of moisture about the roots of the plant, thus keeping them growing when unmulched vegetables would suffer from drought Vines in rich ground grow luxuriantly, and to se cure early fruit it has been recommended to nip off the ends of the branches. Fruit canning factories are increasing in the south, where auy amount of tomatoes can be raised, and kept in bearing from early in the spring till December. This great fruit growing rdgion can be made to supply all that may be lacking in America, and Europe, too; and can be done so cheaply that competition cannot render the business profitless. This fact is true of many other fruits and vegetables and shows on its face that vegetable and fruit growing and cauning is an industry that makes a profitable business for many aud a financial income to the south of considerable import unes to the health, comfort and increased happiness of our people. We have no special data, but presume we can raise to matoes aud haul them to the factory for 30 or 35 cents per bushel, and prove more lucrative than raising cotton at 8 or 9 cents per pound, especially when it takes from three to five acres to make a bale. Application of Manure. So much of success in farming depends on the methods of using manure, says the American Cultivator, that the discussion of this subject can hardly be overdone. Undoubtedly some farmers get more profit out of the same amount of manure than others, and in this their superiority mainly consists. Knowing how to make the best use of manure, they can purchase it when others cannot. The principle is shown in the commonly known fact that where seeds men and nurserymen are found near cities and villages, farmers growing ordinary farm crops cannot purchase stable manure. All that is made iu the city or village is taken on contract as soon as made, and at better prices than common farm crops will afford. In other places market gardeners instead of farmers take city stable manure. Of course the farmers secure a certain amount on the farm from stock kept, but it is never enough. They do not buy, not be cause they do not recognize the need of the fertilizer,” but because they cannot compete in the price. It is a significant fact that most of this manure is purchased for land that the ma jority of farmers would consider rich enough, which has indeed all the fertility required for any crop save Indian corn that a majority of farmers grow. This indi cates that, as a rule, it pays best to draw most of the manure on rion land, even if as a result some of the poorer portions of the farm are left to slowly increase in fertility by growing grass or clover. On the heavily manured land most of the labor will be ap plied. The poor land gets less attention, but probably all that it will pay for. This is not the method often adopted, most farm ers selecting year after year their poorest land for cultivation and applying all the manure they make, thus raising the whole to a comparatively low average, and no part much better than the others. If they concentrated lab ir and manure on fewer acres, they would make more profit. They would at least make something on the best land, and not lose on the other. By their present method they work over a wider area, and do not make a profit anywhere. If farmers practiced this plan of manuring only their tost land they would soon find that they had too much. This would in most cases to a great advautage. The time for applying manure, like the time for doing any good work, is always the present time. The old idea that man ures spead on the surface leach or evaporate to any wasteful degree has long since been exploded. Some of the more soluble chemical fertilizers are tost applied just about the time crops are planted or sown. But stable manure, even the best, is com paratively slow in its action. If some por tions of it are washed down into the soil, they are not lost, but are rather in exactly the best position for doing most good when warm weather starts in them the necessary fermentation. If manure is loft spread on the fields through winter and spring, it has put the soil for two or three inches at least in the best condition that this manure could possibly do. The mulch has protected the surface, and if this is plowed under it fer ments, and the gases thus formed are the best solvent of the fertility in the soil above, Including what has soaked into the surface soil from the mulch. The earlier in the winter this application is made the totter will be the result. After land has been thus made doubly rich, its owner must understand the respon sibility it imposes to give it proportionate care and labor. He cannot afford to to satisfied with crops that farmers on poor soil can grow as well or nearly as well a- he. This is perhaps the most Important advant age of the thorough manuring needed to make a farm into a garden. It involves equal thoroughness in other respects. W hen farmers once try this method and learn how much they can make from a little land, they wiil abandon the system of spreading their efforts over a vast acreage. By the division of farms, this country will long continue to maintain the preponderance of farmers in its population which of late years has been diminishing. It is a mistake to suppose that there are too many farmers. There are too few, and too little capital and manure for the extent of land under cultivation. It is not possible much longer to find new farm ing land. Now for totter improvement of what is already under cultivation. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1891. Manuring Bearing Orchards. On my orchard of bearing trees I spread forty wagonloads of manure to the acre every year, says William Somerville before Minnesota society. I mulch my trees thoroughly. It is impossible for a tree to bear fruit and live any length of time, making thrifty growth, unless the groung is properly manured. If we keep the ground rich enough to make trees have con siderable growth, besides maturing its fruit, then there is a proper prospect of its living a number of years. I have trees in my orchard that have now stood there twenty eight years, and to-day they are as healthy os twenty years ago. I sold more than four tons of apples from an orchard of Duchess of Oldeiiburgh. seven by nine rods in size, this season. The trees bear every year; but this result is only accomplished by means of heavy manuring and mulching. 1 find as they grow older that they require more mulching. We must feed a tree, because it is very exhausting for it to produce its fruit each and every year. The sesults with me from mulching have been very satisfactory. It keeps the ground in good condition and does not let the grass gro w. Manuring may be overdone with young trees, but when a tree comes into bearing it needs much food. Points for Fruit Growers. At a recent meeting af the Lenawee, county, Mich., Horticultural Society, the following practical points were brought out: The Quince can be raised from cut tings, but either ih fall or spriug. If cut in the autumn they should be laid on the grass covered with leaves or hoards. Run ners on grape vines should be cut off duriug the growing season if the vine is a strong grower; otherwise not. In the lost case simply rub off a portion of the buds as they begin to start. Plant grape vines eight feet apart, and twelve feet apart in the rows, unless land is very high in price. The Clinton grape is not worth much except for jelly. Mulch raspberries, currants and strawberries with straw. For a flue summer drink use canned grape juice. When grapes sell at 2 cents a pound raise better varieties, such as Delawares, which always bring a good price. Salem, Niagara and Agawam have fair keeping qualities. Concord is not a good keeper. Brevities. Milk pails and other vessels for keeping milk and cream should be thoroughly cleansed —first well washed and scalded with boiling water, and then aired to keep them perfectly sweet. White Leghorn eggs are now the fashion in New York. Egss are sold in that city at so many for 25 cents, and not by the dozen, as elsewhere. At present White Leghorn and other choice eggs are sold at the rate of seven, eight, nine or ten for 25 cents, ac cording to the fashionableness of the selling store. At the Louisiana Experiment station a good many varieties of potatoes were tested the past year. Among the most productive sorts are named the Boston Peerless, the Vermont Early Rose aud the Beauty of Hebron. Early Puritan also proved a good yieider. All of these produce about 400 nushels per acre. Should the supply of eggs begin to fall off, it means that your hens are too fat, or they desire a change of food. Substituting one kind of food for another will often show a wonderful effect, because the food given may be lacking in some constituent element essential to the production of eggs. Change the food frequently. There is nothing so good as a variety. Orcbardists, as a rule, consider spring tho time to prune fruit trees, and so it is a good time; but we prune late in the autumn or early winter. We do so tocaues we want to to forehanded with our spring work, and thus clear the deck of everything that will stand in the way. After growth ceases it is safe to prune. All young trees should be gone oVer annually to cut off suckers from the trunk and main branches, aud such branches as cross or interfere with others, and such as are likely to make the tree too dense. An open head is needed, and a sym metrical one, also. Use a small, thin-bladed saw for all limbs over one-half iuch thick, and a pruning knife for smaller ones. Leave a smooth, clean cut. Forked trees should be avoided; cut one branch away. It is not easy to raise young turkeys up to the time wheu their heads begin to get red. At this period, for some reason, the young birds are exceedingly tender, and ex posure to a sudden shower or to continued damp weather will kill them easily. They are also most susceptible at this age to tbe throat thread worm or gape worm, and this carries off a large number. To save the young birds, it is advisable to keep them cooped up until the grass is free from dew iu the mornings, aud to keep the coops on clean, fresh ground by moving them fre quently. If they gape and snuffle, give a few drops of turpentine in their food, which should to cracked corn, rye and shreds of fresh meat. Turkeys consume mauy insects and require some animal food when in con finement. Prof. Bailey maintains that the loss of the fruit crop the post season was not due to the cause generally ascribed to it, viz.: cold or wet weather when the blossoms were out; but to a blight fuugus, such as causes the leaves to fall in early summer. He may be right in this, for surely tbe failure to set fruit would not have been so general throughout the country on every kind of fruit, early and late blossoming kinds, had frost or rain anything to do with it. Whatever the cause, is is a very serious matter, should have the earnest considera tion of every orchardist in tbe land. If the leaf blight fungus, which is so prevalent in the summer, is to got iu its evil work also in blossoming times, we may expect furtbur crop failure, unless we meet tho danger promptly and effectually. There is probably no totter way to re store the fertility of worn-out rose beds than by the application of at least two inches of well-rotted stable manure and working this thoroughly into the soil to tbe depth of one foot. In the absence oj suita ble stable manure bone dust may to applied at the rate of ten pounds to every 100 square feet of surface. This also Bhould to well incorporated with tbe soil to the depth men tioned. I would also use nitrate of soda, if to to used conveuieatly, in light but re peated dressing, say at the rate of one pound to 200 suuare feet, or in solution at the same rate. This substance may be bought of all fertilizer firms near the sea cost, and costs about (2 50 per 100 pounds in small quantities. In the absence of ni trate of soda (Chili saltpeter) nitrate of potash (common saltpeter) applied in some what smaller doses, will probably give good results. A FALSE FRIEND. The Romance In tbe Life of Gordon, the Press Builder. From the St. Louie Republic. Nzw York, Feb. 2.—Attorney Charles H. Backet has practically settled the fierce conflict that has been waging over the estate secured by Mary Agnes Gordon when she broke tbe will of her father, George P. Gordon, and who at her death startled every one who knew her by leaving the estate to a profligate foreigner. Beoket has produced another will, executed by George P. Gordon, thereby showing that Mary Agnes had willed away $500,000 to which she really never had any claim. The production of this document apparently ends tbe famous Gordon will contest, tome phases of which have tad wide publicity aud it call up toe story oi the brilliant Gordon’s unhappy life, his mysterious death and tho wilJ careers of in. wife and daughter, both of whom are sup p ised to be dead. No authentic proof of their death, however, has ever beou lur nished. George P. Gordon was a well-known man in this city aud vicinity. By Ills inventive genius aud business ability be developed from a pennilees youth into a man, who, at his death, was worth more than $1,500,000. His property comprised tho great Gordon Press Works at Rahway, N. J., a handsome country residence at Hah way, several lots and a beautiful home on Columbia Rights in Brooklyn, great tracts of land and the Academy of Music iu Norfolk, Va., and several valuable patents on his own inventions of printing apparatus When a very young man he married and in 1849 Mary Agnes Gordon was born. Her mother died a few years later and loft tho child to grow up without a woman’s train ing. A dozen years after his first wife’s death Mr. Gordon met a Laiulsome young woman, many years bis junior, who was u milliner in a small country town iu Con necticut, and they were morriod. They 11 veil together very unhappily. The young woman had tastes of which the husband did not approve, aud disparity in years tended to widen the gulf between them. X FALSE FRIEND. About this time the destroyer crept into the Gordon household in the person of Henry Du Boise Van Wyck, a handsome young man, full of wildcat schemes, who went about with vials of gold dust in his pockets which he said came from mines owned by him in Colorado. Van Wyck and Mrs. Gordon were much together, and their association changed Mr. Gordon from an open-hearted, generous and genial man, dear to his friends, to one of melancholy. At times he drank heavily. Van Wyck and Mrs. Gordon conducted the fine establishment to suit themselves. Mary Agnes Gordon had developed into a headstrong, self-willed youug woman, utterly without training. At 21 she was addicted to intemperate habits, and this added to Mr. Gordon’s bitterness. In 1873 Mr. Gordon, with his wife and Van Wyck, went to Norfolk. Then it was suddenly re ported by Mrs. Gordon and Van Wyck that Mr. Gordon was dyiug. Mary Agnes was in Alabama, and on hearing the report at once telegraphed to her atepmotherthat she was coming to see her lather before he died. The answer was that Mr. Gordon could not see her and that she must not come. Mr. Gordon died the next day, and the girl always taunted her stepmother with the mystery with which bis death was sur roundod. Very shortly after Mr. Gordon’s death his widow and VanWyck were quietly married. VauWyck knew that Mr. Gordon had left a will, and just after his death telegraphed to A. Sidney Downe, Mr. Gordon’s nephew and executor, to secure the will aud keep it safely, and the next week the relatives gathered in the Brooklyn house and the will was read. It proved a great blow to tho wife aud daughter, and the latter made a scene. The will left SIOO,OOO in various legacies to his first wife’s relatives, SIOO,OOO to his widow absolutely, SIOO,OOO to his daughter for life, to bis wife and daughter jointly a life income from tho residuary estate, tho rest of which, amounting to about $1,000,000, was to be disposed of in a codicil, which was never found. Mary Agnes contested her father’s will and finally broke it, the will being set aside on the ground that it was improperly exe cuted, and the big estate was divided among the nearest of kin, the wife and daughter coming in for much larger portions than bsfore. Mr. and Mrs. Van Wyck built a beautiful residence in Fishkill, N. Y., and went there to live. Von Wyck got posses sion of all his wife’s property and squan dered it. HINTS OF A DARK DEED. Last winter she and her husband wont to Californio, and in December Van Wyck re turned to Fishkill with hW wife’s dead body. She had died, he said of pneumonia and there was u hasty burial at Fishkill. Van Wyck would not permit tho coffin to be opened at the funeral, declaring that the embalmer had made a botch of his work and that the body was badly decomposed. Mystery again surrounded a death, the cir cumstances of which Van Wyck alone knew. He went to Norfolk to look after the property there which in the division had faliea to his wife, and it is thought that he is still in the south. Meanwhile Mary Agnes drifted to Europe Four years ago at ScheveningOD, a water ing place on the Hague, Miss Gordon met Samuel Richard Ruvssenaurs of the Chateau de Volkenberg, at fetegg, near Arnheim, in Holland. Her death was reported in this country on Jau. 27, of last year. A month later a will purporting to have been drawn by Miss Gordon reached this country. By the terms of the will Ruyssenaers, on whom the silly girl had lavished thousands, re ceived four-fifths of her property, amount ing to something over $500,000. The rela tives of Miss Gordon at once brought suit to break the will. Lawyer Beckett went to Paris, where it was said she bad died, to in vestigate the circumstances of her death. He learned next to nothing. Among those who read of the hot contest over Miss Gordon’s will was Henry C. Adams, a distinguished lawyer of Orange, N. J. He recollected that in 1868 he had drawn up a will for George P. Gordon, thought he must have a copy of it in his possession still, and, prompted by curiosity, searched for it and found it. Then, remem bering an original will had been left with his father. Edward Adams, who was a lawyer and an intimate friend of Mr. Gordon, he went to the old Adams home stead in Rahway and found the will in an old brown envelope among tiis father’s papers, where it had been placed in 18i 8. He took it at once to the chancellor of New Jersey, who, on Jan. 17, in court, opened aud read the will, and to-day it was ad mitted to probate in Jersey City as the last will and testament of George P. Gordon, thus cutting Van Wyck and rendering Miss Gordon’s will null aud void. The rightful heirs to Misi Gordon’s prop erty will now get their due3. They will come in for most of the estate that was be queathed to Mr. Gordon’s second wife also, MJtmOAL. Cure is Cure However it may be effected; but unjust prejudice often prevents people from trying a ‘proprietary medicine,’ until other remedies prove unavailing. J. H. Ritchie, Commission Agent, Kingston, Australia, writes: “ For years a confirmed sceptic as to the merits of proprietary medicines. I was at last converted by the use of Ayer’s Cherry Pec toral. For months a bottle of this medicine, of which I had come Into possession through the kindness of a friend, remained unopened in my closet, till one night I was seized with a violent cold accompanied by a racking cough. Ilating none of my umat remediee at hand, I thought of the Cherry Pectoral, and determined to give it a trial. The result was truly magical. Relief came almost instantly, and after repeating the dose, certainly not •more than half a dozen times, I found my self thoroughly cured. Subsequently my daughter was cured of a severe cough by the use of the Cherry Pectoral. I recommend this preparation to all sufferers from throat and lung troubles.” For croup, whooping cough, bronchitis, asthma, and consumption the best remedy is Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, (PREPARED BT Dr. J.
