DELAND. SEPTEMBER 4. 1878
NOW no LIVE IN FLORIDA.

AS we have shown on previous oc-
casions it is folly for person with
ont sufficient means to attempt the
culture Of oranges on large scale,
they depend on their daily labor for
livelihood or have only sufficient
capital to carry them through for
year orr two. These people should
embark in Some industry that will
give an early return; of these there
are several that can be entered into
with profit. Growing vegetables for
the early market is very remunera-
tive, where good land can be had,
near transportation, and the person
who sells Gao be depended on. Many
people who have tried it have failed
for want of these essentials, but of
tener from their own ignorance or
carelessness, they ship late, pack SLOW
emily, with inferior stuff, and then
wonder that they have lost. People
will go hundreds OF miles into the
prairies of the West, far from civil
zation, and at great distance from
market, with the rigors of cold and
heat to contend with, to plant corn
at twenty FIVE cents per bushel, the
most they can make being about ten
dollars per acre. They are obliged
to work there or perish from the cold,
or starve. The same people will
come to Florida and turn up their
noses at growing sweet potatoes at
$50 per acre or picking COW peas at
$50 per acre, they will put their
hands in their pockets and hang round
the country stores, complaining that
they cannot get work, or grow any
thing to support themselves. AS a
case in point, gentleman who has
recently settled in a neighboring
county writes us this week to send
him 5 barrel OF sweet potatoes as
there are none to be purchased there,
not even in the chief town | Nothing
could more clearly show the apathy

ASTRONOMICAL NOTES
For September.
Prepared for the Florida AGRlCULTURLST
by Prof. B,'rlin Fl. Wright.

The Snn enters the constellation
Virgo or the sign Libra and crosses
the equinoctial southwark Septem-
Der 22nd. This is the beginning OF
Autumn, and the Sun is said 10 be
at the Autumnal Equinox, but the
day and night Of the 22nd are not
of equal duration, as is generally
supposed, and stated in astronomical
text books. This year the equal day
and night occurs four days after the
Autumnal Equinox,-September 20,
and at the Vernal Equinox, three
days before, or March 18th. This IL
owing to atmospheric refraction, or
the bending of the SUMS rays il
traversing our atmosphere. The
rays are bent toward the Earth
causing the light of The Sun to
strike the eye several minutes be-
fore it real yappears above the eastern
horizon, and to remain visible as
long after having in reality assed
below the western hnriZpn. Hence
by refraction the days is heightened,
and the equal day and night in
March must fall before the Vernal
Equinox, anA in September after the
Autumnal Equinox where the days
are less than " hours long.
1t is thought strange by many
that the Sun does not rise at six in
the morning and sci ut six IN he
evening when the day $ and nights
are of equal duration. This would
be the case if the Earih's axis were
perpendicular to its orbit ana it's mo-
tion about the Sun uniform. Owing
to these causes the Sun comes to the
meridian at noon but four times in a
year, in the middle of April and
June, and the last Of August and
December. The difference in time
between the SUMS meridian passage
and IL o'clock, noon, is called the
equation of time, Sun fast or Sow,
and may amount to as much az 1911
minutes. By applying the amount
of Sun, fast or slow, found in most
almanacs, to the rising and setting of
the Sun when the day and night are
equal we get six hours.
We will now explain why there is
a difference between the signs and
consultations. At the beginning
of this article it will be seen that
the constellation Virgo and the sign
Libra are identical, About l,400
years before the Christian era, &C.

LaLOe5 are eaShy raised AHQ can De
had all the year round, yet ia place
settled up by hundreds Of enter
prisiug northern people, this neCessa-
ry of life, for Florida, cannot be pur-
chased. The minor industries of the
State are numerous. and only require
development to make them highly
remunerative. Many and many q
poor family in the tropics depends
upon the cassava or arrowroot patch
for money to purchase clothing and
such things as they cannot grow.
The starch from these is manufactured
by the women Of the family in a
primitive manner, with such utensils
as any halfinch carpenter can make
But these women do not look for silk
dresses at SO. to S. per yard, stripped
stockings at &c., kid gloves at So.
and Partisan bonnets at $50. each.
They are contented to be neatly and
plainly dressed. For our taste, we
prefer to see neat, trim figure in
plain tidy calico dress, and & sweet
modest face under o palmetto hat,
trimmed with native grasses. We
will say, however, for most OF the
women whom we have seen here
that they have most of the pluck. and
cheer up the dropping hearts of those
who should be their help and sup
port--noble specimens of woman
hood, but there are others quite the
reverse, and with their continual
chickering's and longings for their
northern homes, tend to make their
husbands disconnected and unsettled.
The Burmuda Arrowroot, which has
the highest character in the market
is the work of the ladies of that ID
land, who have their small patches
growing about their houses, and by
their care in manufacturing have Civ
en- it high reputation, and them
selves well filed purses. Ginger is
product that can be oultiva-
ted with profit, but it is necessary
for people entering into these indus
trieste be judicious in the selection
Of the land adapted to their culture.
:. @ People must read up the subject to
which they intend to turn their atten-
tion, and stick to it when they com
mence, no business can prosper that
is taken up by fits and starts.
The growing Of scuppefnong
grapes for wine making is another in
dustry that promises great things for
the State. Little capital is required
to start and bring a vineyard into
bearing and the vines are subject to
no enemies. A return can be looked
for in the third year which contlnu-
ally increases year after year.
as our transportation facilities i'm
prove we can grow the hest varieties
Of table grapes, peaches, plums, pears
and other choice fruits for the north
ern market.
The fact is Florida has too many
resources which will enrich her, and
the reason of their not being yet de.
veloped lies in new settlers being
anxious to try everything, instead Of
combining their attention to some par
ticular object. We have plenty
more to say on this subject and many
more resources to point ont which
have not yet been tried, but we have
already exceeded the limits OF this ar
ticle. More anon.
