Immigration to Kansas.

We are informed by people who
know Kansas, that the suffering
among those who have been induced
to settle there, will be very great
this winter. Many of them did
not get in crops to give support, and
few are prepared with sufficient shell
ter from the bitter cold which they
viii have to endure this Winter.
We might have had a great part of
these people for this State had proper
means been taken to furnish them
with information at the time, regard
ing our advantages, but, as usual, our
people remain dilatory, while those
of Texas, Kansas, and other States
are holding out every inducement
to get their Country settled up
When viii we learn that the best
and cheapest way to reduce our tax
alton is to get more people here to
divide it with us?

WRONG IMPORTATION.

One of our exchanges, in answer
to northern correspondent, says:
Oranges bear in four or five years from
the seed-full crops and matured trees in
about eight years.
An answer like this, given by off
cial authority, tends to convey false
impression and mislead those who
are seeking a home in this State. 1t
is true that some instances have been
stated of orange trees bearing in FIVE
years from the seed, but such events
are very rare, and cannot be used as
authority in orange culture. 1t is so
rare for trees to come into bearing
at seven years from the seed, that
such instances are mentioned as some
thing remarkable. Orange trees
may be said to commence bearing at
from eight to ten years of age, often
er the latter than the former, and it
then requires seven years more, after
they commence bearing, before they
become full bearers; so that an or
ange grove cannot be called in full
bearing before the trees are fifteen TO
eighteen years old. The time can,
however be shortened by planting
-four to six year old trees, which can
be purchased of nurserymen or old
settlers, or budding sour trees found
growing wild in different parts of the
State, but they are now getting
scarce and difficult to procure, having
been already converted By the own.
ers into sweet groves, and valued at
high prices--much to high for the
ordinary run of settlers.
The making of an orange grove is
work Of time, labor, application and
money, but when formed is az almost
endless source of wealth to the own
er, lasting bis life time, and for gen.
erations after him. The average re-
turn from a good grove is at the rate
Of 81, 900 per acre per annum. The

Preserving Guavas.

There three ways of preserving
guavas used in the West Indies, viz. i,
jelly, dssIce or marmalade, and stewed.
In the first, the guavas are cut into
pieces, placed in close vessel, which
is put into another vessel of boiling
water, until the fruit is steamed quite
soft. The juice is then strained out,
and mixed with sugar and boiled
down to jelly; white sugar makes a
clear jelly, but that made from mus
cavado, or common brown sugar, is
the most lucious. The quantity OF
sugar must be regulated by the sweet
ness or acidity Of the fruit; @ quart
Of sugar to quart of juice is gener
ally sufficient. If the jelly is too
sticky in the boiling, rectify it with
a little alum.
DsAee IS made by rubbing the
steamed fruit through seive, to re-
move the seeds, adding sugar and
boiling down to marmalade.
Stewing guavas is the most troub-
lesome of all, but it makes a delicious
preserve. The guavas are first peel
ed with sharp knife, as thin as pos
sible; they are then cut, Longitude
nally, in four pieces and the seeds re-
moved with a spoon; the tieshy part
of the fruit is then ssewed down with
sugar, until quite tender, but not to
the MASKING point; few whole all
spice should be boiled with it. Serve
with cream--cocoanut creamis used in
the West Indies. Guaya jelly can be
colored with the fruit of the prickly

Palnls-Assai.

Assai is beverage much used at
p ara and other parts of Brazil, and
is prepared from species of palm
nearly allied to the cabbage palm
of the West Indies, which we will
describe in future article. The
assai palms are very slender trees,
growing to the height of sixty or
eighty feet, with smooth stem only
about four inches in diameter. The
fruit is small in size, and in color re-
sembles aloes, but is produced in
great quantities on branch spadices,
like thepalmetto ofthis State. Warm
water is poured over the fruit, and
by kneading and rubbing a liquid is
procured, consisting simply of the
pulp Of the fruit and water, which is
constantly vended in the streets Of
Para, and of which the inhabitants
are very fond. 1t is thick creamy
liquid of a purplish color, with the
flavor of q fresh gathered nut; this
is assai. The inhabitants depend in
a great measure for their existance
on this liquid and cassava cakes
Our common palmetto produces q
fruit so closely resembling the assai,
that there is little doubt beverage
OF the same nature might be made
from it. Try it, and let us know the
result.

Humbugging Statements.

We newspaper men clip from one

imaginable. Some statements will
go the rounds of all the papers with
out our having an opportunity of
testing them ourselves; when, there
tore, we find out the falsehood we
should let it be known. We have
noticed that most of our exchanges
have copied the statement that ger

dustry are great, and after years Of
expectation the laborer is rewarded
in liberal manner, and made free
of worldly cares, as regards working
for his livelihood. But there are
few men who have the pluck or means
of carrying through the work most
OF them despond or get in debt and
sell out, but they sell at such prices
as enables them, with the experience
they have obtained, to start afresh
and make success, for there is such
a fascination about orange growing
that one who has once started in it is
10th to leave Off One great fault
we have found with new settlers, with
limited means, is that they are too
greedy and attempt to plant larger
than they can manage. BY careful
and economical management grove

some income, at the rate Of $500
per acre, that is from first to last, in
Guiding the price Of a mans own Ia
Dor in this estimate; we doubt if it
has ever been done for less. Let
our correspondents say something on
this subject. Aperson may establish
a small grove Of fifty Or sixty trees
around his house, by making it a
secondary consideration, and devot-
ing his time to other sources for
livelihood. The slop from the house

TOO CLEVER.
Editor florida Agricul,rist:

Editor florida Agricuburist:
One of our prominent men said, a
few days ago, that the bottom was
knocked out of Florida, and it was
done at the Centennial Exhibition by
the statement of some Northern fruit
growers or dealers stating that our
oranges did not come into market
when they could be best sold, and
that the difficulty was insurmount-
able-that if we could get our fruit
into market from May or June to
September, that Florida would soon
be the most prosperous of all the
Southern States, or words to this eff
feet. may not be correct in my
quotations, but the drift of the re-
marks was that orange growing on a
big scale, such as has been contem-
plated for five years, could not be q
success, for the reason that the Win
ter was anunpropitious season to ship
and sell the fruit at the North. And
