The State Fair.

The State fair will be held at
Gainesville on the goth of February
next and continue for five days. The
premium list which will shortly be
published in our paper, is most lib
eral one and offers prizes calculated
to draw out the best OF our products.
AS we desire a comparison between
the oranges of California and Louis
lana with ours, distinct prizes of $50
each has been offered for the best
exhibit from those states, besides
being open to compete for other pre-
miums, we hope they will take adj.
vantage of this and show us some Of
their best fruit. The county making
the best exhibit will get 5000 and
handsome flag of the value of $50.

it as dish by itself when cooked

times we cook it without seasoning

cess, let us cordially join our sister
county and make great show, for
this purpose meetings should be APP
pointed in every district and commit
tees appointed to collect such articles
such articles as may be worthy of ex-
hibition. The Agricultural Society
of this place has already appointed
committee for that purpose and they
will be pleased to act in union with
others and shew what old Volusia can
do. From the Indian river we can
get cocoa nut, pine-apples, bananas,
sugar apple, sugar cane and other
tropical fruits. We want also samples
of sisal hemp, and fibres, rocks, or
namental woods, ladies handiwork,
samples of cassava bulb, and starch, ar
rowroot bulb, and starch, millets,
corn, rice, cotton, sugar, syrup, wines,
figs, hay, cured meats, sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes, garden vegetables etc,
etc, and above all a grand display of
shaddocks, lemons, oranges, lines and |
citron. If the committee will let us
know what they can collect we will |
then be able to form an opinion as to
how much space to apply for. One
person from each district should be
appointed to take charge of the
things and join the others at Fort
Reid, the day before the fair opens,
SO as to have them arranged properly, |

A Florida Caravan.

After the South Florida Fair at
Fort Ried, where the best exhibits
will be chosen for the State fair, can
not the people join in making up
big caravan to start from Manatee
county and traverse the State, getting
accession at every mile or two on
their way and picking up the product
of the country as they proceed Tor
exhibition at the fair. Say that a
certain day was appointed, to meet at
Leesburgh with the teams from the
South Florida counties, making adj
ditions at Ocala and other places.
The large cotton wagons could carry
a number of people, have OK teams
also, OF all sorts and fashions, carts
and buggies. Let those who are mu-
sicians carry their instruments and
give pRsiGaa Qn. tRe way, y . hen you
cles in streets and form a town of
your own. Garry provisions to last
you on the way, and if you meet a
neighbor without team, who is anx-
ious to go, make room Tor him. Such
novel sight will attract hundreds OF
visitors to see a part of the State that
they never otherwise would have Wis
tied, and join in the procession. Let
each county appoint officers to COM
mand the order of march and have a
communicating chief over all. There
will be plenty Of fun and profit in it,
if properly carried out.

A Chance for Fig Growers.

In all parts Of the State, the Fig
hourishes to perfection and the only
reason that its cultivation has not
been more extended, is, that people
were not inclined to cultivate more
than they could consume or sell.
Drying machines are now SO plen-
titul and cheap, that there is no OBJ
stacle in the way Of preparing them
for market, but our fruit growers
must be sure to grow those kinds
that are best adapted for the purpose.
What those kinds are, can be known
by referring to the catalogue OF the
nurserymen who keep them for sale.
The best time of the year for setting
out figs is now at hand, and the fol-
lowing letter that we have lately re-
ceived, may serve as a stimulant to
this industry. 4t
Editor Florida Agrice1teri&:
We use in our factory large quanti-
ties of figs, and as Florida figs are OF
a very superior quality, we take the
liberty to enquire, if there is not a
commission house in Jacksonville,
which handles figs and from whom
we could buy directly. We con-
sumo yearly 10000 to 100000 pounds
and buy in lots Of 5000 to 10000
pounds. We use now mostly Smyr-
ma figs, but would prefer to keep the
money in our own country, and to

Guava Jellie-Mrs. Lanier's
Recipe.

The following recipe for guava
Jelly has been kindly furnished us
"Cut the Guaya in five or six slices,
do not peal them, put in the preserve
kettle, cover we'll with water, and
boil until quite soft, then strain off,
and to each measure of juice, put one
of sugar, good dry sugar the best }
return the whole to the kettle and
boil until it jellies, and if you add the
juice of three or four lines or lemons
it will jelly more readily, juice to be
added at the second boiling.
T. Il.
Editor Florida Agric,tltavist
The above is the recipe my wife
uses for making jelly, and usually
succeeds finely. One important item
is the sugar, the finer and dryer the
sugar the better. Until we get bet
ter transportation in South Florida,
we can never do much with the guava
only by utilizing them at home.
Yours truly,

Letter from Jacksonville.

Editor Florida AgricuLtauist:
Just at this time the question of
rapid and careful transportation for
the fruit and vegetable growers of
Florida is one of paramount interest
and in some of its important points
is apparently about to be, at least,
partially solved by Mallory's pro-
posed line of steamships running
direct from N. Y. to this city. An
other desideratum of this important
subject, and the one about which |
now intend to write, has been
cheap and convenient box or crate
in which to pack. AS most of your
readers are probably aware this has
been accomplished by Jacksonville
firm, Penniman e. Co., who are retail,
ing a good crate at ten cents, but
perhaps some of them are not aware
OF the expense for machinery to:
which this firm has been or of the
rapiaity land ease with (which the
crate is turned OUT. The machine
was brought from Cincinnati, OhiosI
and is properly known as the rotary
cutter but therewas Familiarity called
/" the dragon" and onits arrival here
was nicknamed the /" baby elephant
by the San and Press. But cutter,
dragon, or elephant, let, your readers
imagine ina "a high, cumbersome inassIofl

iron, threatening with myriad Of
cog wheels from the outside and sup
piled, on the inside, with sharp steel
and they have a reasonably good
idea of the first impression this
stranger in the South (indeed there
are none like it in the North and but
few that can do its work) gives a
visitor. To be more exact, it weighs
fourteen and one half tons, requiring
six horse power to drive the en-
CINE, power which is multiplied by
the system of cog wheels to 1900
horse power where it is actually APP
Piled and it can turn out the side
pieces for 200 crates per day.
One of the firm was kind enough
to show me the way this monster
treats log that is once consigned to
its jaws. The log, four feet long,
just the length of two crates, having
first been subjected to a hot steam
bath in tank Of boiling water, to
make it cut easily, is run under a
huge knife, some four feet and two
or three inches long, and is firmly
fastened in a horizontal position par
allel with the blade. The machine
began to move its ugly joints and
the log slowly revolved. I watched
the operation curiously and saw the
blade slowly settling toward the
turning log. The log is not to be
cut or sawed in the usual way but is
to be pealed down to the core,
something as if it were cylindrical
apple. The log moves uniformly
throughout but the blade, which is
lowered by a couple Of long screws
worked by the machinery, is ar
ranged to settle faster as it nears the
core of the log so that the long
sheet Of pealing is kept Of per
fectly uniform thickness. The sheet
! of thin board which is thus pared
from the surface OF the log is cut to
exactly two feet in length, just as it
comes to the blade so that it is taken
from the machine by the tenders in
long sheets varying from four te
iass4 ,---:.l4h 1,basa sbeets. a,
parings are then cut into proper
widths for the crates and laid away
to dry. This is the principal and only
interesting part of the work. Two
sizes are made. The board can be
pared from the log in thirty different
thicknesses, from one twentieth tc
one half of an inch, so that Messrs
Penniman & Co. ought to be able to
give the public just the grade OF
crate it wants. Now if my long de
scription has not tired yonr readers
l hope have partially satisfied then
curiosity, if any, about how crates
are made S. w. H.

FAIR BUILDING. = The State
Fair Building Committee have adopt
ed the plan devised by Mr.. J. Q.
Goodale, and awarded him the con-
tract of erection. The plan of Mr.
Goodale Is very beautiful and con
venient. When the building is
erected it will be a credit and an or
nament to the town, and will afford
ample accommodations for the pur-
poses of exhibition The main or
centre building is a hexagon Of thirty
five feet in diameter, or about twenty
feet on each side. 1t is two stories
high, the first story sixteen feet and
the second eleven feet. There are
four wings and front and back
porches, which occupy the six sides.
The first wings on each side are 80
by As feet and run toward the front,
right and left. The other two wings
are each 30 by 80, and run to the
back, right and left. The four wings
all run diagonally from the main
building and are one story high and
we'll lighted through the root and
gable ends. The second story Of the
main building has well hole in the
floor Is feet in diameter, making
gallery around the second story of s
feet wide, for picture or art gal
lery, well lighted. There are two
flights of stairs on the front and two
on the back, leading to the porches
which open TO the gallery. On the
top of the main building there will be
an observatory 10 feet wide, which
overiooks the city. The judges
stand and seats for spectators of the
races are disconnected from the build
ing. The entire building is model
OF convenience, and affords a variety
OF space. it will probably cost about

MRS. SCOTT SIDDONS.

The seats of the dress circle and the more
advanced chairs of the parquette we're we'll
and handsomely filled last night. That is,
Carson's best listeners were out in consider
able force to hear Mrs. Scott Siddons in her
"Recitals. 1t is needless to say she reads
with great grace and from the vantage ground
of a very evident and liberal culture The
programme was not long, but the selections
were of very judicious and attractive sort.
In the First Part, "Curfew must not ring to-
night" and Lady Macbeth's sleep walking
scene were very finely rendered-the latter
with much effect THE creeds of the Bells"
was delivered in surprising information of
voice, and the courtship scene from Henry
V. was given with much vivacity. The &C
complished lady was greeted with much cor
dial appreciation, and favored her audience
with highly pleasing and enjoyable enter
tsinment
