Billy Renner and Charley Neipp Write Interesting Letters Home. Billy Renner is a member of the Eighteenth regiment, United States regulars, stationed at Iloilo. The following interesting letter was received from him some days ago by his folks in this city: MANILA, P. I., April 19, 1899. Dear Folks at Home: Having nothing to do, I thought I would write and let you know how I am getting along. We arrived here in harbor at 10 o'clock on April 10th, and remained aboard until the next afternoon at 4 o'clock, when we landed by launch at Wall City. Thence we were marched inside the fort, where we were fed and lodged in the barracks formerly used by the Spanish. The first fellow I met was Charley Neipp. He was very glad to see us. We see one another every day. We sleep in the same room. He seems to be in good health. Wall City is on the south side of the Pasig river, and has a wall all around it about 20 feet high and from 10 to 12 feet wide. The wall is surmounted by large cannon at the top—old muzzle loaders, some being made in 1750. So you see they are quite old. New Manila is just across on the other side of the Pasig river, and when we want to go over there we walk over the bridge or give a native two cents and he takes one over in his canoe. We landed here on the 10th, and will not leave for our regiment until Saturday, the 22d. All this time we don't have a thing to do. We get up when we want to, eat three times a day, go you the same. I remain as ever yours with love, WM. RENNER. April 21. I write this to-day as no mail left when I wrote the other. It is very hot and I just did my washing. You ought to see how the natives wash their clothes. They soak them well, then lay them on a flat rock and with a club they pound the mass till it is clean. I have not seen a washboard or a clothes wringer since I have been here. Monkeys are plentiful in camp; the trees are full of them, and they crawl over the roofs of our barracks. I will send you some papers with this letter so you can see what kind they print here. There is a fine road along the beach where the rich Spaniards drive every evening till 7 o'clock; after that hour no one is allowed on the street. The Spanish ladles seem to me to be whiter than the American, and some of them are very handsome. There are thousands of cannon balls lying here that belonged to Spain. Most everything is made of stone here. The benches one sits on are built of stone. You ought to see the inside of one of the large churches. It beats anything I ever saw in my life. Everything is carved work in it, and there are marble floors and statues. Horr James is stationed about five minutes' walk from here, so I will go and see how he is getting along. Well, I will close now. Good-bye. WM. RENNER. Company E, Eighteenth Regiment, Iloilo, Phillipine Islands. Charley Neipp's Letter. Charley Neipp is a private in the ranks of Co. D, Twenty-third United States Infantry, stationed at Manila. He has written a letter to his parents here, under date of April 19th, from which we take the following extracts: "I take pen in hand to let you know SOIL EXHAUSTION. Through the Culture of the Walnut, and Fertilizers to Use. By Prof. S.M. Woodbridge, Ph.D., Agricultural Chemist, Los Angeles. The walnut crop is involved in more or less mystery, and is little understood in the abstract, or from a chemical standpoint, although from a practical standpoint the matter of maintaining the original integrity of the soil, and in fact the building up of a poor soil, is well understood and readily accomplished. To give an illustration, let us look at the orange. In an orchard in the San Gabriel Valley the soil analyzed 1.14 per cent in potash. Taking the soil to a depth of only 2 feet, an acre of ground would contain about 100,000 pounds of potash; this potash would be enough to supply a crop of 20,000 pounds of oranges for more than 2,000 years; the figures from which the above conclusion is drawn are taken from the State Analyst. Before the orchard was fifteen years old it showed marked signs of degeneration. The practical application of potash in conjunction with nitrates and phosphates, some five years ago revived the orchard, and the annual application of a complete fertilizer has since kept it in a most flourishing condition. Again, it is a well-known fact that in new ground, suited to the purpose from 400 to 500 bushels of potatoes can be raised the first year; the second year scarcely one-half that amount can be raised, and the third year the field would hardly give its seed back; and yet the soil of such a field would ana- Beer REED TO ANY PART PER POUND. proprietor Weekly Gazette. published 1870.

So you see they are quite old. New Manila is just across on the other side of the Pasig river, and when we want to go over there we walk over the bridge or give a native two cents and he takes one over in his canoe. We landed here on the 10th, and will not leave for our regiment until Saturday, the 22d. All this time we don't have a thing to do. We get up when we want to, eat three times a day, go up town when we want to, and go to bed at 9 o'clock—all we have to do is to eat, drink, sleep and be happy. We have nice barracks, with bamboo cots, and a fine place to bathe. One can bathe in the ocean or in the bathhouse near the barracks. It has four large shower baths and a large marble reservoir, where we can bathe in. It was built by the Spanish, and is a fine piece of work. We are well fed, but I would give anything for a nice cold drink of water from our pump. The water here is always lukewarm, and everything you touch is hotter than the hinges of —[Billy Billy] There is no doubt that this is a hot place. The natives are the dirtiest class of people I ever saw. They bathe naked right in the center of Manila, in the streets. They turn on the city water, and crawl under the hydrant. The water is carried all through the city, and on every corner there is a large faucet where they bathe, drink and get water for family use. They wear very little clothing—a cheesecloth wrapper or only a breech cloth around the body; and some wear nothing at all. They are quite a bit smaller than the Americans, the largest not weighing more than 100 pounds. I have been all around the town and have seen many strange sights. I would not take a thousand dollars for what I have seen and learned since I left home. I took in the hospitals on Sunday, and I tell you it was a sight! The poor boys with arms cut off, or legs cut off, or a bullet through their body, laying there suffering in this hot Godforsaken country! Then the hospitals where the natives are! I asked one what he was going to do when he got better. He said he was going back to Aguinaldo and fight. There are about 850 prisoners right here where we are, and about 900 at Cavite. There are also a lot at New Manila, and the boys are killing and capturing more every day. There are street cars here, drawn by the native horses, which are a little larger than Shetland ponies, but they are tough. They also have water buffalo, or caribou. They are as large as an ox. They hitch them to a large dumpcart, and that is the way they haul their heavy stuff. The light stuff they carry, like a Chinaman, across their shoulder, or on their head. They are great people, to carry things in baskets on their heads! There is a railroad here, about 120 miles long, but they are only running it about 25 miles, as that is far as they can run it, the enemy being about. The Filipinos have torn up part of the track. The most of the fighting now is about Malos. The trains stop there, hauling provisions to our soldiers. Malos is about 22 miles from here. Charley Neipp belongs to the Twenty-third regiment. Two battalions are here at Manila and one battalion is at Cebu. I have not seen Fritz Pfahler. He Pasig river, and has a wall all around it about 20 feet high and from 10 to 12 feet wide.

The most of the fighting now is about Malolos. The trains stop there, hauling provisions to our soldiers. Malolos is about 22 miles from here. Charley Neipp belongs to the Twenty-third regiment. Two battalions are here at Manila and one battalion is at Cebu. I have not seen Fritz Pfahler. He belongs to a company which is at Cebu. Edward Roeder is at Cavite, which is about eight miles across the bay from here. The First Tennessee, Eighteenth Regulars and some artillery, that is here go to the front on Saturday, and I tell you we won't do a thing but pump lead into the natives. You ought to be here and see all the ships, barges, cascoes, canoes, war vessels, and all kinds of rafts to go on the river with; you never saw the like in your life. Then there is the large war vessel, Powerful, from England, with four smokestacks, the largest war vessel afloat, so they say. There are also the Olympia, the Oregon and a Japanese cruiser. All kinds of transports are always lying here. There was a corporal from the First California Volunteers, who joined the insurgents and became major or some other high officer, but he was shot. The Twenty-third regiment band is here, and they give us grand concerts every evening for about an hour. The mosquitoes are as thick as the hair on your head, but we have mosquito nets which keep them off a little. The rainy season starts about the middle of May. I suppose by the time I am here my three years I'll be blacker than a negro. I am pretty well sunburned the way it is; my skin is all brown already. Well, I guess I will come to a close, and when I get to Ilolo and settle down I will write you another letter. Ilolo is about 600 miles from here and I think we will get started Saturday. I am going to send you a news paper, and would like to send more, but they cost five cents, and my pile is getting low. We haven't received a cent from the government as yet, and won't until we get to our regiment. Pay day is about the 10th of May. The Filipinos all smoke cigarettes or cigars, and one can see "kids" from five years up with a cigarette in their mouth. They have very fine cigars for 1 cent apiece, or 50 cents a hundred; the best cigars are $4 a hundred, and fine cigarettes, 60 for 5 cents. When you write write all the news—everything is news here. Charley Neipp sends his best regards. I am well and happy, and hope this will find small boats. They had started for the shore, when the captain of the Petrel sent a steam launch to the German skipper and asked him what he meant by sending the rifles ashore. The latter replied he was going to drill his men on shore. That was a poor excuse, to the mind of the American captain, who did not see it in the light of sending the guns first and the men to follow later. An English steam launch ran alongside and stopped the landing. "Admiral Dewey then searched the German ships, and confiscated a lot of rifles on them, which a man-of-war does not carry. So the German ships are forbidden to enter here. Germany would not stand a show in these waters, for the English have too big a fleet and can stop ships going through the Suez canal. "There are rumors that the Filipinos have received new ammunition, but most ammunition that is found is that which has been reloaded. The insurgents had a number of Krupp guns at Malolos, but they buried them. Our boys found them and dug them up. "Some arms are being smuggled in, but our ships are always on the alert. "I think that the war will soon end, unless Aguinaldo gets encouragement from other countries. The captured natives are turned lose, if there is no serious charge against them. They have found out we are not the people their leaders have told them we are. I have talked with some of the natives. The say the biggest part of Aguinaldo's army would desert if they knew the facts." "About the fighting going on, there is nothing on the other side of Malolos, about 25 to 30 miles from here. There have not been any real battles, only outpost firing. To the south of here not a shot has been fired for a week. "General Lawton went up the lakes with about 1500 men last week. There are three lakes. Lawton captured Santa Cruz and five other towns, six steam boats and five barges. So the insurgents lost all their fleet up there. Our men left the town in peace. They distributed proclamations. We lost but a few men; they lost 180 killed and 40 wounded. "That is more than any other nation would have done with them, and I think it will stop the fighting quicker when they see we are not going further to molest them. They say the country up there is fine. A town whose name I have forgotten is the finest place that most of us boys ever saw. It has a rich soil mostly everywhere. Their oranges are nothing but seedlings, and not good at that. This will be a great coffee country, but they have not much of it. The Spanish never try to do anything, but this will be changed. "Dewey got a dozen gunboats yesterday from Hongkong." After advising his brother Herman to take more paints with his writing, and invoking the blessings of heaven upon his parents and family, whom he refers to tenderly, Private Neipp lays down his pen and again takes up the gun. This question asks whether knowledge of essential elements need be added and how much of such application may be required by the crop and trees themselves, although experiments have not been carried over a series of years; but for two succeeding years excellent results have been obtained by using to every pound of nitrogen, 9 pounds of phosphoric acid and 5 pounds of potash in the form of muriate. The phosphorus acid should be in the form of a superphosphate that is treated with sulfuric acid (sulphuric acid), which renders the phosphate readily soluble in water so that it may be immediately available. A ton of fertilizer containing the fertilizing elements in the above proportions of 4 per cent nitrogen, 9 per cent phosphoric acid, and 5 per cent potassium should not be worth to exceed $3 freight paid. Now as to the amounts to be applied: 5 pounds to a tree three years old and good can be derived; 12 pounds per tree to an eight-year-old orchard produces good results, some of the trees yielding 100 pounds and all the trees averaging over 75 pounds of nuts; eighteen-year-old trees 25 pounds (pine) tree was applied with satisfactory results. Taking the case of eight-year-old trees, the cost of fertilizing an orchard where the trees were twenty-eight to the acre, would be $5 60; about 3¼ per cent of the value of the crop. FOREIGN WALNUTS. A recent consular report gives information in regard to the cultivation of the English walnut in several European countries. The consul on the Adriatic reports that the soil there is thin, and not generally suited for the cultivation of the English walnut and therefore the planting trees is, as rule, left to change. Where the soil is fairly good, trees begin to bear at the age of eight nine years. The yield per tree at this age of twenty years is from forty-four to sixty pounds, in an average year; but the majority of trees do not come up this standard. The trees receive very little care. The nuts are permitted fall from the tree, as they mature. The only disease is one which recently appeared, causing the fruit to remain small, and as a rule to have no kernels. Irrigation is never resorted to in this section. Prices have ranged during the past year, from $3 to $6 per hundred pounds, inland, and from $4 to $10 at Trieste. The Consul at Buda-Pesth reports that a census taken in 1895 showed that there were in Hungary and Croatia over 3,000,000 English walnut trees. They are of several varieties, including soft-shelled nuts. The value of these ports in 1896 amounted to nearly $100,000 none of which came to the United States.

NUMBER 32 FARMING AS A SCIENCE. The Old-Fashioned Farmer is Doomed. He Must Give Way to the Wisdom of Science Hereafter. Like the Indian, the old-fashioned farmer is doomed. Hon. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, says his methods are worn out. They must give way to the wisdom of science. The farmer youth of today is the scientific agriculturist of tomorrow. People, he said, might call these new fangled ideas if they wanted to, but they were sustained by facts. The farmer must learn how to make his ground yield the most. This knowledge he would never gain unless he familiarizes himself with the science of the soil. In the plant propagating house on the department grounds is the scene of one of the most deeply scientific and progressive of the many investigations now being conducted by the institution under Secretary Wilson. The investigation is important experiments to show the comparative productive values of soils, or earth, gathered from all over the United States. The great practical utility derived is in the farmer being able to discover, even in a small measure, the preference of any particular vegetation for any one soil or class of soils. In 173 pots are samples of earth from fifteen States and the District of Columbia. These are California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The other States will be investigated in turn later, although the present collection includes about every type now cultivated in the United States, and represents a wide variation as to character and nature. The experiment was begun five years ago and will be completed. It is a well-known fact that in ground, suited to the purpose, no 500 bushels of potatoes can be the first year; the second year one-half that amount can be and the third year the field hardly give its seed back; and all of such a field would ana- thetically the same at the end of it as it did at the beginning. Less, the soil is exhausted by practical standpoint of the what is, he cannot raise a pay- of potatoes; and yet from the out of the chemist the soil is as plant food as ever—the little land have been withdrawn by each crops, as are above describ- only the ten thousand part plant-food in the soil. It is true in regard to the exhaustive soil by an orange or potato also found to be true in practice to the walnut. The real science has settled the fact nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and water are the only three expensive elements that added in order to do everything known to science in order to feed any crop. In order, how-make these elements, when ap- most effective, the soil must con- ficient amount of humus (de- dig vegetable or animal matter). Well-known fact that the best are attained in horticulture circumstances admit of a rotary crops, the same crop not reached oftener than once in five years. In an orchard possible to rotate a crop, as the set for a lifetime; but the thing to rotation is in keep-a rotation of green crops for under, and in this way keep the humus and nitrogen at a cost. These crops, of course, dated during the fall and are at a time when the tree is then, to get the best results walnut orchard, two things are: (1) Prevent the soil from be- hauasted; and (2), keep a due of humus in the soil. This proposition can be done by annually these elements in portion in which the crop, the leaf growth may remove it would be both amusing and bring for a rich chemist with who and who might own a wallard to ascertain these facts by section of all the leaves, new and crop over a series of years, report might be most interest- few chemists who would read it, but the farmer could scarcely take over it. What the farmer know is which and how much essential elements need be added cost of such application. To mention the answer can be given crop and trees themselves, although experiments have not been covered a series of years; but for feeding years excellent results can obtained by using to every 4 of nitrogen, 9 pounds of phos- pid and 5 pounds of potash in murate. The phosphoric acid should be in the form of a super- base, that is, treated with sulphuric acid), which renders phosphate readily soluble in water may be immediately available during which most of the nuts are exported, from the three ports of Havre, Bordeaux and Marseilles, nuts to the value of $28,000. The prices per bale of 220 pounds are quoted as ranging last year from $7.50 to $14.50, according to variety. These prices include cost of insurance and freight. The freight from Havre to New York on nuts is $2.22 per cubic meter. In sections where walnuts are plentiful a salad oil is pressed from the kernels by crushing them. The Consul says that this oil is not pleasant in flavor, but it is largely used by the peasants, who cannot afford to buy olive oil. The Consul at Bordeaux reports that trees begin to yield at the age of twenty or twenty-five years, which differs so much from the statement made by the Consul at Havre that there must apparently be some mistake. At fifty or sixty years of age, he says, they average about 210 to 250 pounds per tree. The tree is healthy and receives no care whatever. They are not subject to any diseases. No irrigation is practiced. The average yield per tree is about 100 pounds, which would give from $3 to $8 per year, according to variety, after twenty-five years." The Consul at Grenoble reports the cost of land suitable for walnut trees in that section at the high price of $300 to $600 per acre, a good average being $450 an acre. In good soil, and under favorable conditions, the average tree will begin to bear in ten years. Wages paid during the harvest season are from 50 to 60 cents per day and board for men, and 30 cents a day and board for women. The Consul at Marseille reports that few land owners in that section devote any considerable area to walnuts, while almost every farmer has some trees, generally planted along the borders of fields and vineyards, or in small patches. The Consuls at Frankfort and Hamburg, in Germany, report that walnut trees are only planted there for shade. From Naples the Consul writes that a few walnuts are raised in that section, the trees being mixed in among other fruit trees. They begin to bear at about ten years, and increase in yield until they are twenty years old, when they can be counted on for about fifty pounds each. No irrigation is needed. The nuts are generally exported to England and to the United States. The small shipments of Sorento nuts bring special prices, because of extra care in curing them, which gives an attractive whiteness to the meat. At Sorrento there are several small patches devoted to walnut culture, which come nearer to being walnut orchards than anything else in that section of Italy.

EDITOR GAZETTE:—Now that Charles Binder has passed into the unknown beyond, it seems to be in place for me as an old friend and neighbor of his to devote a few lines, with your permission, Mr. Editor, to his memory. Mr. Binder was a native of Copenhagen, Denmark and after serving his country in all over the United States. The great practical utility derived is in the farmer being able to discover, even in a small measure, the preference of any particular vegetation for any one soil or class of soils. In 173 pots are samples of earth from fifteen States and the District of Columbia. These are California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland. Michigan, Missouri, Montana. New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and Wisconsin. The other States will be investigated in turn later, although the present collection includes about every type now cultivated in the United States, and represents a wide variation as to character and nature. The experiment was begun five years ago, and will be completed some time next year. Therefore, it is not possible now to present the final conclusions derived from the carefully observed and recorded phenomena. The experiment is the first effort to reach definite results with particular soils, and the method used is based upon comparing many growths of the same crops upon soils of great variety of character and composition. The crop and the manner of its cultivation remains always the same, the soils only differing. The results therefore, are expected to show the difference in vegetation due to the difference in soils. From each State named with great care was collected a sample of each four of its soils: the virgin surface earth, found in sections never cultivated, such as the prairie lands of the West; the virgin subsollt taken from the same parts, but dug from below a foot in distance from; the surface; cultivated surface soil and cultivated subsoil. These were air-dried, sacked labeled and forwarded from the agricultural stations in the States, and arriving here were quickly air-dried again, and small samples of each were taken for chemical and physical examination. The remaining soil was placed in the pots which are so constructed that the water supply is carried upward through the earth from a reservoir surrounding the pot, as usual with flower pots. In this manner top of the soil is kept loose and open, not hard and baked, as happens with flower pots from the surface. The chemical analysis of the samples was for the purpose of showing the constituents of each soil in the way of potash, phosphoric acid and nitrogen,the principal elements that sustain plant life; although sand, lime,magnesia and a dozen others are to be found.The physical analysis was for the purpose of separating the soil of a sample into standard sizes,and also to ascertain the capacity of each kind of absorbring and holding moisture.A record of each result is carefully made and preserved in order to compare it with the analysis of the soil at the end of the six-year arbitrary period next year. The plants selected for the experiment were oats, beans,and buckwheat. These show very plainly the vitality and comparative productive quality of the samples.Oats belong to the cereal family which is easily grown but does not add nitrogen to the soil.Beans belong to the leguminous variety which absorbs nitrogen and fertilizes the earth.The buckwheat was chosen because two crops of it can be taken every year. Soil is enriched with nitrogen either by direct deposit from the atmosphere or through leguminous plants whose roots are the homes of an organized bacteria which feeds upon the nitrogen and excretes it in the form of nitric acid.These organisms are in the soil,either naturally or by incubation.As an illustration of the latter method land was found full of nitrogen,但which would not sustain plant life. Ornamental forming in size a mass In Memoriam EDITOR GAZETTE:—Now that Charles Binder has passed into the unknown beyond, it seems to be in place for me as an old friend and neighbor of his to devote a few lines, with your permission, Mr. Editor, to his memory. Mr. Binder was a native of Copenhagen, Denmark, and after serving his country in the war with Prussia and Austria, emigrated to the United States. He came from a good family and has wealthy and influential relatives abroad. Mr. Binder had one great weakness, it seemingly being uncontrollable in his younger days, and but for this failing he might be hale and hearty today, and be one of the richest men in this county, for he naturally possessed a strong, robust constitution and was a man of unusual ability. Handy, practical beyond conception, and of sound judgement, he was on the other hand strictly honest, charitable, progressive and forgiving. His death came not unexpectedly, for he had been afflicted with heart trouble for quite a number of years. When I entered his room, however, last Saturday morning, not having seen him for two weeks, I took in the situation with one glance at him, and saw at once that the end was near. Poor fellow! He wanted to see me once more; he had been listening to the rumbling of my wagon that morning, and when the team stopped at his place, he exclaimed: "There is Herman coming now." He is gone, and all of us will sooner or later have to follow him. At best it is but a short span of time from the cradle to the grave. Many a one of us will miss his familiar face for some time to come, but mostly will he be missed by his widow, now left all alone. She did all that was in her power for his relief. Let us hope that time will soon lessen her present grief and affliction. The way his neighbors in Fullerton vied with each other in offering a helping hand showed the respect and esteem that he was held in by them all. May he rest in peace.
