The Satsuma Orange.
This is the hardiest of edible
oranges, and when budded on
Citrus Trifoliata roots its hardi
ness is increased to such an ex
tent that it can withstand any
cold spells we have in the Coast
Belt. The trees are spreading in
habit, covering an area of from
fifteen to twenty feet, seldom
reaching over fifteen feet in
height. The branches are so low
that the fruit is not easily injur
ed by winds, and can nearly all
be picked trouble
some employment of ladders.
The trees are thornless and bear
young. I have seen two-year
old trees with a dozen fairsized
oranges on them, while four-year
old groves have yielded over SSOO
to the acre.
It is the earliest market orange,
is ready for shipment when
oranges bring the highest prices.
The fruit is medium size, fatten
ed; color, deep, reddish orange;
fleh, fine-grained, tender, juicy,
and so sweet it will pass the pure
food law acid test before it is
well colored. The skin is thin
and loose; the segments can be
removed and separated without
the loss of juice, making it the
ideal eating orange, one that can
be eaten in a car or on the street
without soiling the hands..
The Satsuma does not do well
on other roots than the Citrus
Trifoliata, which in turn requires
a clay or alluvial suosoil, so its
area is almost limited to the Gulf
Coast region.
There is not as much risk in
growing Satsuma oranges on
Citrus Trifoliata stock in this
region as in growing Navels in
California, or Indian River
oranges in Florida. You need
never lose a crop; the fruit is
ripe before any danger of freez
ing, and the chance of losing the
trees is not so great, as is proven
by the Weather Bureau records
for the three sections. —Octovia

Why I Breed Berkshires.
The Berkshire is the handsom
est type of swine ever developed,
says a correspondent of the Rural
New Yorker. They appeal to
the idealist more than to the
everyday practical farmer. A
“hog is a hog” to him, regard
less of his makeup. To one who
is seeking the most beautiful, a
hog that appeals to him is a
Berkshire. In most cases it is
not too much to say that before
a man can appreciate a highclass
Berkshire he must have a critical
eye, a keen sense of beauty of
form and lots of interest in the
values of life, for a Berkshire, at
his best, stands apart from the
typical, mere hog enough; others
that they are “rich man’s, or
gentleman’s hog.” No breed is
better adapted to all parts of the
country, especially the East.
They are good rustlers and ran
gers, will turn almost any kind
of feed into pork, and cut the
highest percentage of the best
kind of pork; one of the best
breeds for export. They are un
excelled as mothers and very pro
lific.
