Orange Fertilizer-Analysis


People who wish to see their
Eskoyes flourish and become success
fan orange growers, should make
themselves acquainted with the in
gradients contained in the soil, that
they intend planting on, and by
knowing what the orange consists OF,
they can easily arrive at the fertiliz-
ers needed. The materials can be
purchased separately and composted
at home with great saving of mate
rial and freight, for in buying ferti-
lizers we have to take much useless
stuff that is not at all necessary for
orange trees. In looking over the
analysis Of the orange which we give
in this article, it will be observed
that the most necessary ingredients
are potash, lime and phosphorus.
Our muck contains a great deal of
these and when it can be procured
readily, will in most cases answer the
purpose, but there are places where
muck is at too great distance TO
haul and the funds are not available
for purchasing the commercial in
gradients. 1t is then Of some impor-
tance to know what is near at hand
to supply the want.
The roots Of the saw palmetto are
rich in potash, and if they are burnt,
Inc ash will answer Lime is con-
tanned in considerable quantities in
Tie sand, but we have deposits OF
shell mari all over the state. Oyster
shells can be burnt and made into
lime, as also the lime stone that crops
up IN many Of the Counties, even
the small shells, that form the quo
quina rocks, may be ground or burnt
Tor lime. Throwing fresh oyster
shells at the root of an orange tree as
a fertilizer, is about as much use as
giving man the end Of an iron pipe
to suck to nourish himself For
Phosphorus, we will have to depend
on the small bony fish, menhaden,
catfish, and even the carcass of the
alligators Of which scores are thrown
away. Common salt will answer for
soda BY mixing these ingredients
at home we can save many dollars

TO KILL POCKET GoPHERs.

The pocket, Gopher, called hear
Salamander, is very destructive to
sweet potato crops and often enters
an orange grove and destroys the
roots of the young trees. The Bisul-
phid of Carbon has been tried with
success in California for destroying
the ground squirrels, correspondent
in the Los Angeles Express says :;
"Our first experiment with the bisul-
phid carbon was in pouring from a
half ounce vial upon rag placed in
the freshest holes, and after covering
the seam, to fill adjacent holes with
dirt. This we found did n OF do the
business satisfactorily, for some of
the squirrels found egress to the air
through these filed holes. We find
complete satisfaction in the following
course: The carbon is put up in one
pound bottles; let one man take one
Of these and also half ounce vial,
second man a shovel; mo rag is nee
essary J pour from the bottle into the
vial one-fourth ounce IA plenty and
empty into the hole as far from the
mouth as possible; cover at once the
mouth of the hole with clod or
lump of dirt, so that the fine earth to
be used as a covering will not sift
through upon the carbon. We have
closed the hole upon several acres in
this way, and have not found one Of
them opened, except very few from
the outside by squirrel away from
home at the time. We put the car
bon into all the holes, but less than
one-eighth of an ounce has proved

breathe the carbon died in about five

Tropics and Poles, must have been
laid underliberal contribution, to have
provided such quantity and variety,
to say nothing of the delicious
sweets, what-nots, and all-sorts,
made by the fair hands of our skilful
housewives. The arrangements were
so complete that all could sit down
and be served at once. And when
they left the tables, it was with such
an air of supreme Satisfaction and
comfort, that spoke volumes for the
inner mans share Of the glorious

commentator can hardly be rendered
to the various COMMITTEES, who had

and have only what are needed for the
special purpose A barrel should be
placed, in convenient part about
a house, in which all the house slops
may be thrown during the day and
administered to the roots of the
orange trees in the evenings. Soap
suds are an excellent fertilizer also
and none should be wasted. Several
hundred trees may be well MANFRED
during the year from these sources
alone. We use cow peas here to
enrich the soil for our young trees.
In Australia they plant Lupines and
they are considered the only fertil-
izer needed with the help of guano
once a year. We feel confident that
if proper precautions were taken to
economist, that sufficient manure
could be procured, where a family
were living on place, to fertilize at
least five acres in oranges. Those
who plant more than this, have the
means of purchasing commercial fer
tilizers for their groves. Let us hear
from others on this subject. The

Independence Day.

Great crowds!l Immense enthu-
siasm!! Notwithstanding the "clerk
of the weather was in the sulks, and
showered down his misty favors in
reckless profusion all day long, the
celebration of this. our great Nation;
al holiday, was observed with such
spirit, patriotism and completeness,
that left nothing wanting. As the
day dawned, it was usherd in with a
salute Of thirty-eight guns, while
through the day halfhour guns were
fired, closing at sunset with another
salute of thirty eight guns. At an
early hour crowds began to pour in
from every direction. Orange City
sent a large delegation, Spring Gar
den was we'll represented, Beresford
was not whit behind, and Enter
prise, our county seat, spared many
of her leading citizens to do honor to
the occasion. Orange county too,
our genial rival in Press and pros
peritv, came in force and fashion, to
grace the occasion, so that nearly or
quite six hundred persons assembled
to do homage to our Natal Day.
B. F. Haines Esq, of Spring Gar
den, was unanimously chosen to pre-
side over the assembly, which he did
with his accustomed dignity and de-
cision. The exercises were as fol-
lows:
