his orange trees next season of the
value OF $4,000. The first results of
tour years cultivation. He is gen.
tleman of wealth and education, who
lives here, not only for the object of
making money from orange culture,
but because he keeps his health bet
ter in this State than he can in the
North, and being of busy, active
temperament, he Ends pleasant occu-
patton in growing oranges. His
properties are all pleasant and pretti-
ly situated; on his Spring grove there
is a mineral spring of excellent drink
ing water, and he is now erecting
handsome house on a commanding
situation. We inquired if he would
sell any of his groves, Eyes" he an
swered, "the money is not so much
an object as occupation for my mind.
l keep good health here and take
more pleasure in making the grove
than in reaping the fruit"
There as fascination in orange
culture, that once entered on, few
people can abandon the occupation.
The pleasure is seeing the trees grow,
the small worries of fighting insects,
and oh ! the delight OF witnessing the
first blossom after years OF toll,
that first flower has repaid every
care that You have given, the beauty
and fragrance is nothing compared to
the feeling of exultation at having &C.
compllshed your object. Go talk to
DIR. Gillen and see what he has done,
and you will never leave without the
orange fever badly.

Strawberries.

Thisis the season for planting straw
berries, and plants that get well root
ed now, will with care, commence to
bear next February, the berries COM
handing large prices in the State and
in the Northern cities. II is o crop
that promises to be successful and
remunerative one and we intend in
the next few numbers of the paper to
give all the information we can gath
er on the best varieties, and mode OF
culture. Our cultivators should try
all the different varieties and find out
those best adapted to the climate.
The Wilson Albany has hitherto been
deemed the best, for their carrying
quality, but they are too acid, other
varieties may be found to answer all
requirements.

THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.

The estimation in which the old
FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT was held
was shown clearly by the hundreds of
people in this State, and every State
In the Union, who at once renewed
their subscription to this paper. A
gentleman connected with the largest
newspaper business in San francisco,
who has always taken our paper,
writes shat he cannot do without it,
as every number contains some infor-
nation that he cannot get elsewhere"
The reason Of this is evident for we
seek out just such information, from
the best authorities, as is adapted to
the wants of the most southern parts
Of the Union. We have people
among us SO prejudiced against any
thing emanating from this State that
they can see no good in it, and go far
to procure knowledge that is of little
use to them when they get it.
Do not only read this paper your
self, but show it to your neighbors
and get them to subscribe, write also
for it and give us the results of your
experience. We have induced num-
bers OF people to settle here by show
ing them what can be done when
they get here, we do not take their
money and tell them afterwards to
go to the ID, and we intend to
bring plenty more here and make
them succeed. We are in correspond
ence now with numbers in the N orth,
and if they do not know the advanta-
ges Of every part OF the State the peo-
pie of those parts can only blame them
selves for not writing it up and show
ing what has been done there. Stran-
gers place confidence in this paper for
they are aware that we know what
we are writing about.

beat those that have hitherto carried
off the premiums. Search your
groves, and see ifyou cannot get that
$50 premium offered by Mr.. J. I.
Bidwell. The people of Gainesville,
we may rest assured, will do every
thing to make the fair success,
their credit is at stake, they have en-
barked thousands of dollars in the
undertaking and we may look for
display superior to anything ever yet
seen in that line in the State.

DELAND. SEPTEMBER Is. 1878.
HAVE YOUR OWN PAPER.

If the agriculturists of this State
are alive to their own interests they
will see the necessity Of supporting a
paper specially devoted to their own
advancement. Every State in the
Union has a number Of papers of this
class in which they Can exchange
ideas and seek information. Local
papers should by all means be sup
ported, but it does not require very
long purse to take another, at the
prices they are now offered to the
public The agriculture of this State
is peculiar one and we have to treat
on subjects that can be found in no
other paper OF the class, for the rea-
son that they are not required. Your
local papers will treat on the politi-
cal subjects OF the day, taking one
side or the other, but an agricultural
paper is not expected to do so, or
take any part in politics, it is our du-
ty to furnish information of quite an
other class Of reading and one that
will benefit all alike Our tillers of
the soil and fruit growers have lost so
much by following wrong advice, or
not knowing the nature of the indus
Try they are pursuing that they
should see the necessity of support
ing an organ that tries to give them
instruction, and we have placed the
subscription price at so low q rate
that it will be their own fault if they
do not profit by it.
1t is perfect folly for any one to as
sert that he knows so much already
that others can teach him nothing {;
no one is engaged in agriculture but
has something more to learn, from q
novice sometimes, although he may
have grown gray himself in his occu-
patton. Not only should he take the
paper himself, but he should induce
Others to do SO, as the larger the cir
culation the more facts are to be
gathered.

Orange Culture.

We are often astonished in behold
ing the enormous expense incurred
by some rich men, who have entered
on orange culture in this State, in
the purchase and application of fer
tilizers for their groves and the poor
results obtained. Seeing the won
aerfnl growth lately made On the
groves of DR.. FL. II. Gillen of this
place, we were informed that he
used great quantities of artificial fer
tllizers, we were determined how
ever to go to the fountain head and get
all the information possible from the
Doctor himself, for the benefit of the
public. He kindly took us around
to the three groves which he is cul-
tivating. We first visited the Lake
Beresford grove, near the lake of
that name, containing 1900 trees,
planted three years ago with four
year old sweet seedlings, then the
Fisher grove of $50 trees,near the first,
and the Spring grove of 100 trees,
one mile from this place. None OF
these places have been over three
years in cultivation, yet several OF
the trees were bearing fruit, some
fifteen feet high. We did not notice
a diseased tree in the whole lot, nor
was there q weed to be seen in any
of the groves. The leaves were of a
rich green color, the trunks OF
the trees clean, and free of moss,
showing that they we're very
healthy. Now what do you think
was the secret Of DIR. Gillens' success?
He assured us that he had not pur-
chased more than $50 worth of arti-
fetal. fertilizer since he began. Well,
he ascribes his success to acork and
cOmch peas. Says the Doctor, "you
all recommend for strawberry culture,
water, water, water, / say to succeed
in orange culture. work, work, work,
and plenty of cow peas. Keep your
soil constantly stirred, plant your
conch peas, and NOW them down,
burrying the vines near your trees,
the peas will grow again from the
old roots and give another crop which
you can allow to seed. / sold $50
worth OF peas last year and had
enough for my own USE"
Doctor Gillen expects crop from

The State Fair.

Wherever the State Fair is located,
it is pretty sure that handsome sum
will be given as a premium to the
county making the best exhibit 1t,
therefore, behooves every one to try
and make it a success and place his
county in a position to make re-
spectacle appearance or win the prize.
This can only be done by everyone
saving the choice products fthe farm
or grove for the occasion, keep them

them on. Each county can send for
ward few days in advance, one or
more of their citizens to receive the
things and prepare them for exhibit
ton. s-
BY awarding the fair to Gainesville
the Gulf counties now have an oppor-
tunity of showing what they can do
in the raising of fruit and other trop.
ical products. Being an older settled
portion Of the State than the south
ern counties of the eastern portion,
they should be able to make a dis.
play that will cast in the shade all
exhibits that have heretofore been
made, and if they have the energy to
60 to work, so as to attract notice to
their parts. We have seen some su-
perb fruit sent up from Clear Water
Harbor, and the Tampa papers are
