If you are mechanic enough to cut
out and nail together a box and have
it come square, send and get one
hive as a sample to work from, and
make your own, if not, get carpen-
ter to do it tor you. A good, tight,
well-made hive is the cheapest in the
end.
Feurth-Have only one Hind in
your apiary, and that so that your
frames will be all alike, so that you
can change one from any hive to the
other without trouble.
Now for the bees II you cannot
find them in the woods, buy a few
swarms in old log gums, boxes, bar

The FLORIDA AGRIcULTURIsT, who
"knows how to keep a hotel" and is
looking about for an opening in that
line, let him come down here and
look at the situation. We are not
afraid to rest the case on its own mer.
it's.
Of late we have had an excess of
rain and an excess of hot weather. AS
consequence oranges are splitting
very badly, so that some say our crop
will be reduced one.third. We ex-
pect, however, to ship 300, geo oranges
over our new route the coming sea-
son, to say nothing of other fruits
and early vegetables. Several par.
ties are already making gardens on
pretty large scale. The present
prospect for the cane crop Is very
fattering, and the number OF barrels
of syrup will be largely in excess OF
the yield of any other year. Our best
"Indian river syrup" like our oranges,
bear an enviable reputation, both at
home and abroad.
When you see that man looking for
hotel site, you can tell him that beef
sells here at 5 and 6 cents per
pound, while the finest and latest
oysters can be had without money
and without price.

indian River Correspondence.

Editor of The Florida Agricultural.
AS before stated in these let.
tiers, we have new route opening
up communication with the outside
world by the way of the Upper St.
Johns river and Lake Poinsett. A
steamer entering that lake proceeds
to the southeast corner, and entering
broad creek with FIVE feet of water
and broad channel, runs up it half
mile, when Lake Florence is en-
tered. This is lovely body of wa
ter, set in the midst of vast prairie,
~, nearly S,iSSenlar i fern and about
one-q quarter of a mile across. Leav-
ing this lake a smaller creek, with
four feet OF water in the channel,
brings you at distance of another
half.mile, to Rock Ledge wharf and
warehouse, already built, and to
within just three miles OF Indian
river. The old route via. Salt Lake,
is seven miles from Indian river. This
new route, if properly managed, will
no doubt prove very popular one,
as we think fully two.thirds of the
freight for this section will come over
it, while tourists wishing to see
the Upper St. Johns, will patronize
it. Wagons, and when fully estab-
lished, hack will meet the arrival OF
every steamer, bringing freight over
to our river at Is cents per barrel,
or 12a cents per cwt., and passengers
at so cents per head.
In connection with this new enter
prise, we want two things to develop
this section: First, good hotel, with
a man who knows how to keep it;
second, a first-class store, with gen.
eral assortment of first-class goods Of
every description. That both these
will come sometime, we do not doubt,
but we want them right now, and
whoever is fortunate enough to get
in first, will strike big bonanza. At
the centre of Rock Ledge hammock,
north and south, and within stones
throw OF the post office, is a high
bluff overlooking the river, and from
which the Banana river, and by the
aid of glass old Ocean itself can be
seen. A good hotel on the bluff; or,
rather, hill, surrounded as it would
be, with magnificent orange groves,
and from the top affording river I'M
surpassed in the State, it would GER
tainly be filled with guests five
months in the years at least. Fresh
vegetables from the garden could be
had every day throughout the win
ter, while venisOn, green'turtle, fish
and oysters would constitute the
everyday bill of fare. In the way of
fruits-oranges, guavas plne-apples
and bananas, fresh and fully ripe
when gathered, might be named:
Guests, by way of recreation, could
have sailing without limit, while par
ties could be formed at any time to
visit the sea.coast and the many
points of interest along the river. To
sportsmen, the field would present

Peach and Pear Trees.

Editor of The Florida Agriculturist.
Of a dozen and halt varieties of
peach and pear trees obtained last
winter from Mr.. Berckman's assort-
ment of Florida specialties, the honey
peach and Duchess d'Angoulime pear
have shown signs of blooming out of
season. The peach buds have not

began, flower buds set, leaves she'd
everything made snug for the winter.
With the rain, came slight exten.
sion Of the terminal growth, nothing,
however, to compare with the foot or
more of growth of every other vari-
tey, a mere galvanic spasm, as one
might have in sleep, and this is the
condition to-day that is as dark
cloud of doubt and anxiety hanging
over our heads. for fear the spring
growth THAT should be) will be pre-
maturely developed by this warm and
wet season, and thus destroy the
years crop. A good growth of the
terminals would act asa safety4valve,
but the trees are Ill the condition OF
sleepy boy-too sleepy to do any
thing, and not sleepy enough to go
to bed.
We are afraid to apply stimulants,
as they might start the flower bud
or narcotics (root pruning or moving)
for fear they might sleep too late in
the spring, or not have strength
to mature the crop-either horn of
the dilemma being undesirable. We
are now debating the propriety of
applying ice.
The pear tree has opened to-day a
cluster of blossom buds, but as we
should have picked them off if they
had delayed their coming till spring,
we care less about it than about the
peach.
This propensity of some plants to
bloom out of season-among which
are the peach, banana, qaava, null
berry, and even the orange, is the
penalty we pay for having "the finest
climate in the world" which is
the way it is put in pamphlets
and things for outsides, but between
ourselves, 1 incline to the opinion
that it results from a stoppage Of
growth in summer, when trees ought
to grow, from drought or other cause,
SO that the season Of rest is changed.
This changes the time of blossoming.
The trees that kept growing have not
formed fruit buds yet, and will not do
it until the proper time. 1t may not
be an invariable rule, but there has
been no exception in my experience,
in peaches,pea or oranges.

to work quietly, being careful to give
them no sudden Jar, and particular
not to mash or hurt any of the bees,
in few weeks will learn that they
are not as bad as they are represented
A person soon becomes use to the
sting, so that it gives very little pain
and very little swelling. When I first
commenced to handle them sting
in my face would cause such swelling
as to shut both my eyes. Now, you
cannot discover the place stung in
ten minutes after.
The best remedy for sting is
strong spirits of ammonia applied at
once, or bruised green tomato leaves.
They are great deal crosser at
some seasons than others. There is
also a great difference in different
colonies. When there is strong
flow of honey in the flowers they
are easier handled, and hardly ever
sting unless pinched or hurt in some
way.
Let no one think that all he OF she
has to do is to buy 100 swarms of
bees, get the latest patent hive, an
extractor, smoker, and comb-foun-
dation mill, and make his fortune in
a year.

any shape you can get them, and try
to increase your knowledge and skill
in handling them as fast as they in

She was ambitious and brave and daring

She was often in trouble and the SUBJ

father to get her out Of scrapes. Ohio,
in those days, was away West, and Wes-
tern girls generally defy Eastern id as Of

be made for her escapades on the tom
