and are now covered with a dense
growth of live oak, water oak, hick-
ory, ash, magnolia, and cabbage palm
etto. The soil is grey sand full of
vegetable humus one to three feet
deep, then six inches to foot of yel-
low clay, then rotten limestone with
mari and sand beneath, just the soil
to receive and retain all that nature
has placed upon it. These lands

properly thinned to afford protection
from frost, and moderate shade, to
be removed afterward if required,
the timber felled, and burned, the
ashes carefully spread, which are the
best possible fertilizer for the orange
tree; add to this the rich soil full of
humus, and an unlimited supply of
decaying roots and stumps, and what
can pine land offer to compensate for
it. where even the leaves afford little
fertility and the ash is almost worth
less, not even worth hauling from
our saw mills for any purpose.
The Doctor speaks of the great pro-
ductiveness of the pine lands, and,

Gle on Lake Worth, and the section
ofcountry adjoining it. Lake Worth
is situated about 300 miles. south of
Jacksonville in latitude between 81
and go north. The lake is 26 miles
long, and one mile wide, averaging
four feet deep. 1t is within half a
mile OF the Atlantic Ocean, with
which it connects near its northern
end by little inlet so yards wide.
The lake runs parallel with the ocean
north and south. The lake is salt
water, and abounds in salt water fish
of the finest quality, such as pompino,
cavalia, muIlet, sheep head, red snap
pers, blue fish, Bass, etc The lake
.has an outlook which is cheerful,

sail or steam vessels to its inlet, and
light draught ones can enter it. Also
we have inland navigation to the
lake by way of Indian river to Jupi-
ter lighthouse, thence up the Loca
hatchee river to Lake Worth river,
and up this to Saw Grass Greek,
which comes within 25O yards of
Lake Worth, near its northern end,
and at this place, which is called
the Haul Over, is a railroad, 25O
yards long, for transporting freight
and hauling over sail boats.
The land on the east side Of the
lake, which is between the lake and
the ocean, is mostly rich hammock
and morning-glory land; the ham,
mock is red land the morning glory
black muck land; with no growth
on it, but weeds and mornino glory
vines. This belt of country on the
east side of the lake will average
about one-half mile in width, the
extent of the lake which, as l have
said is 26 miles long. The west
side of the lake is bordered by belts
of pine land and oak scrub land, the
pine land is thin in its soil, and for
cultivation would need fertilizing, the
oak scrub land which Immediately
borders the lake, is quite good tor

ing for orange trees or farm products.
The water for drinking use, on the
east side of the lake is slightly brack-
ish, but quenches thirst very well, it
is cool. The water on the west side
is fresh, pure and as good as can be
found in the State. This country on
Lake Worth is undoubtedly healthy,
there has been very little sickness on
the lake, at any time, and that light
fevers and some chills.
