Results of Investigations by Experts of the Agricultural Department. The reports of several special investiga tions conducted by experts of the Agricul. tural Department have been submittel to Secretary Morton, The inquiry as to the best roads for farms and farmers was cou ducted by Gen. Roy Btone, who pictures the roads that best meets the farmers’ needs as a solid, well bedded stone road, so narrow as to be only a single track, but having an earth track alongside “A fine dry, smooth dirt track,'” the repost gays, ‘‘is the perfection of roads easy on the horses’ feet and legs nnd on the vehicles and free from nolse and jar, Tbe stone roads on the other hand wear more in dry wea her than in wet, Practical experience shows that the junetion of the stones and earth sec tions of the roads ean be kept even, and pas- sing of loaded teams--two points which have been raised Jo the discussion of constraotion methods. No running of the sarth roads results,” Another report shows that the qualtity and flavor of oranges ean be largely governed by a proper combination of the elements used in the fertilization, Insect diseases are appar. ently influenced by the use of fertilizers, or ganic manures rendering the tree more lable to such injury thao chemical fertilizers. Dio- back, a serious malady, Is in all probability the result of overfeeding wih nitrogenous manures from organis sources, Thess man- ures, it used at ail, should be ured with great caution, CABLE SPARKS.
