The oultivatjon of the pomelo, or
grape fruit, is extending rapidly in the
South and it is becoming a first class
marketable Irnityery valuable In car
ry sprifag 'and summer, after oranges
are about gone, and by many people
jpsteemed to the orange. , When it be
comes better known it will be a popu
lar fruit during the spring meirtbs.
It is prepared for the table by mov
ing the bitter white membranes and
g'nrinklinir the nuln with sugar. In
warm weather after it has been iced,
themel'.ing pulp and juice from be
tween the membranes are deliciously
I refreshing. The pomelo can be grown
frnora eaMIv than the oranire. and it
yields more to the tree than any other
member of the citrus family.'
The fruit grows In clusters, two,
three or four banging together from
one stem, from which peculiarity the
nafne of grape fruit, was eiven to it.
the trees are beautiful objects, covered
wirh rank, glossy, dark green foliage,
nd loaded with thousands of bright
pt-ndact "yellow globes. A twig no
larger than the little finger wi H bave
five or six big pomelos banging from it.
A comparatively small tree will often
bear as many as two thousand at a
time. ' ..-'. t .. V'
California also produces these fruits,
but most ot them come from Florida.
They are sold on fruit stands at from
five cents apiece to fifteen cents apiece
for very large ones.Tbey vary in
quality as much a oranges do,' and
while the good ones' are very good the J
bad ones if green, are very bad. Tboae
with smooth w hite skins are the best
and a little rust on them will not hurt
their flavor or juciness.
The fruit is always cut from the tree,
as the orange, ia wrapped ia tissue pa
per and packed carefully i a '.barrels
rather than boxes." Tbey are not sized
as oranges are, but are seal 'north? with.
the number of pomelos in each barrel
marked on the outside. ' ' " ' . '
. " .
It bas been said by more than one
Southern fruit grower that a fortune
was raiting the man who bad the cour
age to pbuita grove of grape fruit trees
and depend on (bent for a Uvttg. If
properly treated tbeir yield would be
much larger than It Sa to-diy'and a
good profit could be made frem Ibea,

' Wheat Bxperlmeai. '
The Ohio experiment station during
the past season tested several varities
of wheat. , The test, says the Baltimore
?un, was made on a piece of bottom
land about, seven aores la area and
very Uniform in quality. It wa In
clover In 1889, lind was plowed for
wheat after removal of the seed crop
of clover. Nearly all . the varieties
were more or less effected with,, stink
ing smut, the relative injury from wblcb
is given below. Each plot was exact
ly one-tenth acre In size. .The yield Is
given in bushels per acre, and the per
cent winter killed, as also the per cent
smutted : Wyandot yielded 3170 bu.
per acre, w'tb 20 per cent winter killed
and 2 per cent smutted ; McQuay 33.5S,
with 10 per cent smut and 22 per cent.
from dampness offsets the loss - of time
in ginning, the loss from lint left on
seed, and loss from reduced price due
to cut and knapped fiber. We ' believe
in present condition of the cotton
market it pays to handle the crop nice
ly. "It should be picked aa clean as
possible, and ginned in the best style.
We know the difficulty of having cot
ton picked clean, when it is picked by
the hundred as much of it Is. But we
should not give way to these diffioul
ties, buttry to overcome them In every
way possible,, One might offer a little
higher price for clean picked cotton
he would lose nothing, for 'the higher
price such cotton brings would , more
than reimburse , him. - Occasional In

In a late issue of the Farm and Fire
side it is said that rye for poultry is the
cheapest food that eo be grown, aa It
really requires no extra ground. Where
the potatoes have been dug or wheat
harvested, sow rye and it will remain
there until spring, when the land may
be put in corn. In tact it occupies the
ground'ooly in winter if desired for
providing green food only. - It will en
able tbe bens to bave green food late,
and long after etber food become dry,.
and wi'l, be the first to appear in spring.
A small plat of rye will euable tbe
poultryman to cat it as wanted, and it
will grow up again to provide another
supply. ' .

Every farmer Is alive to tbe import
ance of picking cotton as sown as It
opens. The desire to get some .ready
cash is sufficient inducement to prompt
action. But every one is not always
ready lor the work. Tjro things, are
necessary eometbipg to put cotton in
aa it is picked, tbe other some arrange
ment for drying cotton picked in fore
noon. Tbe latter, though often neg-
lected, is a maiter ot great importance.
Green, wet or damp cotton is very
hiird to cin.wiil not ein eleao. and
makes a very poor "ampl., It Is ex
some influence. Giving preference,
when practicable, to careful pickers
would also help.
But to go back to appliances for pick
ing and drying cotton. For holding
cotton as it is being picked baskets are
objectionable. They have to be pack
ed to hold tbe cotton, and damp cot
ton packed in a basket has no oppor
tunity to dry. ; Tut in bulk in a gin
bouse it bas no opportunity to dry,
and thus passes to tbe gin, wet and un
fit for ginning. , A solution of this dif
ficulty is found in using sheets instead
of baskets If a sheet Is spread In a
sunny place, and cotton spread upon
it, the latter bas excellent opportunity
to dry. When a sheet Is fall It is tied
up, and the oottoo ia completely pro
tected from trash nntil it Is delivered
iugia-bewe. '
It Is well also now to overhaul gin
houses', gin and press. See that saws
and brushes are in good condition.
Replace worn bearings with now ones,
see that gin is perfectly level and runt
true. One cannot afford to Iom time
overhauling these after ginning fairly
begins. If you run an engine provide
and put under shelter a supply cf dry
wood. See that tbe engine is in perfect
order test tbe adjustments, get rid of
any lost motion, put in new packing
and new valves where necessary. You
have time to do these things now ; you
will not bave it later on. W. L. J. is

The word "rest" has a great meaning
ln this busy, pushing, restless age, says
E. F, Smith in the American Cultivator.
tit does not mean inaction, but rather a
change, with tbe element of worry,
anxiety and strain eliminated. When
applied to the land It Is not robbed en
tirely of this pew meaning. Tbe land
needs rest ; It needs time to recuperate,
and get back the elements and strength
which years of successive cultivation
bave taken from It, But the kind of
rest which the busy man most needs Is
change of occupation ; and so with our
soils they need a change of plant
growth. To grow one klud of crop on
the same ground year after year Is such
a heavy strain on it that it will shortly
become barren and unproductive.
If some crop bad boon sown and not
harvested, but turned under, the land
would be better for it. Or, again, If
the land had been plowed In the spring,
and bat-rowed and cultivated to keep
down the weeds, and then prepared
for winter wheat, this crop wonld have
bad a good chance to grow. The land
would have been enriched by tbe action
of the sun and moisture, which would
give it the desired change, . Summer
fallowing, as this process is called,
should be practiced ofteoer, and then
better crops would be obtained, and
Lour soils would not continue to deterio
rate. Give the land a rest occasional
ly, but do not be misled hy the idea
that simply a change of plants will
bring about tbe desired result.

As the result of a recent , Investiga
tion on the part of the Alabama Agri
cultural Experiment Station to detect
the best method of attacklug tbe cot
ton worm it was generally conceded
that the best and surest death to the
pests was by tbe use of tbe powder,
Paris green or London purple. Here
tofore a solution of one or the other oi
tlese drugs bas been sprinkled over
the plant, but recently there bave been
experiments with the dry application of
these poisons, and was with the view
of ascertaining the relative value of the
two methods that the inquiries of tbe
experiment station were made. The
replies reoelvod seem to leave no doubt
that the application of the powder is
far more effective than the use of Its
solution and that it is muoh more
economical. This is tbe unanimous
testimony of the cotton planters who
reply to tbe queries of the Experiment
Station of Alabama. , There Iaenqual
degree of unanimity In favor of the use
of Farts green In preference to the Lon
don purple. It Is said that tbe latter
scorches cotton, while tbe former does
not injure the plant if judloloinly ap
plied. A machine has been invented
for the application of dry Paris green
to cotton, but It cosU 170, and by the
simple and Inexpensive contrivance of
a bag and a pole the farmer can' pro
