mens, to Tbe Country Gentleman. In
tbat paper Mr. Warnock further tell
tbe system by which be grows not only
squashes, but tbe largest watermelon
and citrons in his part of tbe country:.
"My land is made in good condition,
being heavily manured every year. It
' MAMMOTH SQCASBB.
is a gravelly formation, with about 16
inches of clay loam on top. ' A 800
pound squash can be grown on any part
of it by the following method of culti
vation! For each hill I intend to plant,
about tbe lst'of April I take two good
wheelbarrow loads of ben manure and
mix with fonr barrows of good soil tak
en from some other part of the lot This
is mixed a second time tbe middle of
April. Tbe 1st of May I add four bar
row of well rotted manure and mix
thoroughly ; then, about the 18th of
Mar. make tbe hill and plant, dig out
a space 7 feet in diameter and 14 inches
deep, fill in my compost mixing and
with it some of tbe best earth which
thrown out When finished, tbe
bill will be about ten feet in diameter
and six inches higher In the center than
the surrounding level. Then plant the
seed. Bill. want to be about SO feet
apart Work the ground well until the
plant commence to run. When about
three feet long, I mulch the ground all
over for 90 feet in diameter around each
hill with horse msnure three inches
deep and stake the vine down with
stick to keep tbe wind from rolling
them about so tbat they may root at
every Joint It is of great advantage to
keep tbe vine, from fruiting as long a
possible, by pruning all fruit bloom off
until about tbevlast week In July. This
will give time enough to mature a S00
pound squash by tbe 1st of October, for
there must be a big vine to produce a
big squssb."
Mr. Warnock practice fertilising
few of tbe first blooms tbat come, apd
when tbe first perfect specimens have
set well he cut off all other fruit and
blossoms and nip tbe end oft vine that
show bloom. H use liquid manure
twice a week while great growth of
squash is going on, and is particularly
careful to give plenty ot water.

IN THE PINERY.

While pineapple growing ha been
carried on here for many years, says a
Brevard county correspondent of the
Florida Times-Union, there have been
decided improvements from year to
year in the manner of planting, fertilis
ing, cultivation, varieties and general
manipulation. Each year has borne
good results along these lines until it
looks at present as though tbe proper
methods bave been adopted by some at
least of the growers who have persevered
most "intelligently in search of tbe
method of securing tbe best results.
Open culture has been the rule in the
past first, because even under tbat
plan pineapple were a very remunera
tive crop; second, because shedding,
with it attendant good results, were
unknown.
' But, commencing with tbe freeze of
1804-0, there baa been more or less ex
perimenting going on with sheda The
many advantage thereby gained are so
apparent that , it is tbe consensu of
opinion that ultimately the larger part
of the pines shipped from here will be
those grown under cover. Asids.from
the question of freeze, the sheds are a
good investment Pine grow larger,
fields keep np better and there is no
sunburned fruit this, coupled with the
satisfaction felt in tbe exemption from
damage, is worth many time tbe cost
I of the covering, which soon pay for
Itself..-. ' . ; ' :
Pineapple covered her at nominal
expense exceed in profli any otner
business in which a man can invest bis
money. There are many acre covered
In this section which wlU yield this
year anywber from $700 to $1,000 per

roots, but In some soils a fsw banafuls
of fin bon may be mixed in tbe soil
about tbe roots. When tbe peach tree
comes into bearing, phosphoric acid and
potash ar necessary to tbe proper de
velopment of size, beauty and flavor of
tbe peach. Tbeee element can be sop-
plied by fine ground bon and muriate
of potash, or bard wood ashes, ashes of
cottonseed bull, eto Msny orchards
became unprofitable because they are
not properly fertilized. One great rea
son for tb failure of so many orchard
is because they are starred. After tb
tree com into bearing they have to
perform tb double function of develop
ing wood growth and perfecting tbe
fruit, and tbe failure to perform either
of these functions properly is evidence
that tb soil most be enriched or tb
orchard will be no longer profitable.

1 wish to call the attention of insurers in Alamance county
j to the fact that the Burlington Insurance Agency, established in
Q J893 by the'late firm of Tate Si Albright, is still in the ring.
There is no insurance agency in North Carolina with better
facilities for placing large lines of insurance, that can give low
er rates or better'indemnity. Only first-class companies, in every
branch of the business, find a lodgement in my office. With
a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warranted
in soliciting a share of the local patronage. I guarantee full
satisfaction in every instance. Correspondence solicited upon
all- matters pertaining to insurance.
I am making a specialty of Life Insurance and will make
it to the interest of all who desire protection for their families
q or their estates, or who wish to .make absolutely safe and profit-!
