Climatology of Florida =.
From I'll e Florida Immigrant.

From I'll e Florida Immigrant.
AS the climate of Florida is supe-
rior to that of other States, it follows
that the various diseases to which
flesh is heir to, are not as prevalent
here as in other locations. Man dies
here az well as elsewhere, for there is
no spot on earth in which he is ex.
elnpt from mortality. | hesitate not
to assert, however, that in our favored
climate there are fewer fatal diseases
in proportion to our population than
in any other state or territory
in the Union. In previous article
I.endeavored to show that our eli
mate, both in Summer and Winter.
was more equable than in other local
tiles. This is one cause of its health
enteric fever? And why are they more
tulness. What produces malarial and
common in summers than winter? 1t is
the inhaling of noxious gases liberated
from decayed animal and vegetable
matter by the heat of the sun.
These volatile gases, being thus lib
Grated in the day, are precipitated
again, as it were during the cool
nights, Hence, in the latter part of
the Summer or the early fall, When
the days are very warm and the
nights cool, diseases of this nature
al more prevalent, and in other eli
mates exposure to the night air at
such time is regarded as prejudlcial
to health. In FLORIDA we have no
such extremes, as a general rule; and
though these deleterious gases that
are evolved during the day are pre-
cipitated to a certain extent during
the night, yet as natural consequence
while malarial fevers exist, they are
not as fatal as elsewhere. We have
not as many fatal cases for instance
as they have in the Wabash Valley,

vegetation, say the midds of july
or the first of August, thei all other
labor is dispensed with, il working
the grove until the following Spring
unless mulching is done, fl which l
strongly recommend my pr,cess viz;
In the Fall scrape the looss earth off
down to the small surface ioots, from
within foot of the trunk f the tree
to the extremity Of the imbs, cut
the clover hat's.grown in he space
between the trees, tread it ina foot
thick over the space preparsd for it's
reception, and cover sparssly with
the loose earth that was raled away.
If the land is destitute sd lime, a
sprinkling of shell lime I'D be of
considerable Importance, while the
clover is undergoing fermentation.
By Spring the clover will be pretty
much rotted, and in July and August
the trees will put on a green luxuri-
ant growth, and there will be no
necessity to repeat mulching for two
years. The balance of the clover
crops suffer to rot on the land every
Winter, and turn under lightly every
Spring, after the trees are in full
bloom. With this iprocess, of rota.
ton, and mulching, the land not only
improves in fertility every year, but
yields an increase of remunerative
crops annually, The seeds of this
important plant, are already be com
ing disseminated in several states
both north and south, and. while
proving an important auxiliary to
the soil, will eventual " 'bes esteemed
as an '1ncsc%naDfe vc gesaDfe fei 5lIiss5s,

Spanish Clover.
FRICHARD~SONIA SCABRA.

According to an analysis, made by
the department of agriculture, Wash
ington, D. c., this forage is fully as
nutritious as clover. The history of
this plant, seems to be but little
known.in this country, although its
tradition is as far back as 1912. Its
existence has been in a section of
country, with sparse settlements and
where clovers and cultivated grasses,
instead of being considered asbless-
ing, have been looked upon and re-
garded as curse; yet it's growth on
cultivated lands is of great value, but
where neglected and with no prepa-
ration of soils, it being an annual Sum-
mer plant, suffered to contend with
the encroachments of Winter grasses
! abandoned, uncultivated lands, IS
similar to the sweet beggar lice plant
and will soon dwindle away to insig-
nifcance, where thus neglected.
The question may be asked, how
can you gather the information rela-
tive to the merits and habits of this
valuable plant. Iwould here remark
that / visited the Blue Grass region
of Kentucky. twenty eight years ago
and witnessed the cultivation of clo-
yer, timothy, blue grass, and the
growth of fine stock in that state,
and would have been citizen there,
but for the extreme cold winters.
From that day on, I have searched
all the leading agricultural works 1
could reach, and tried all the clovers
and grasses l could hear OF; lucerne
and millets ; The japanese grass, the
italian rye grass, Texas muaquit, Cal
ifornis clover, and the Guinea grass,
which is very good grass for this
latitude, and hearing of the Spanish
clover, made for it and procured a
few seeds five years ago, and have
been growing it ever since, not only
satisfactorily, but far beyond my ex-
pectations. After meeting with so
many disappointments in my expert
ments with various grasses and clo-
vers, and the Spanish clover proving,
so far, superior to any, as an annual
Spring, Summer and Fall plant, l
thought I would introduce it to the
public, after four years practical ex-
perience, although I feel incompe-
tent for the task, as it would take a
volume TO write all the virtues of
this invaluable plant. / have grown
it on a clay bank, thrown up for the
purpose of mixing up mortar; I've
grown it upon a mari bed, that was
hauled out from the bottom of the
we'll; have grown it on a muck bed
that was hauled out of Lake Griffin ;
7 have grown it on the salamander

a corps, from the captain down, sec
ond to none coasting southwark from
New York. They had just left New
York in binding snow storm
where the streets of the city were
covered with ice, and on the third
day out they found us enjoying, in
South Carolina, as beautiful weather
as New York ever sees in May. On
leaving Port Royal, as we steamed
down the beautiful and capacious
harbor, the Texas answered a polite
salutation from that'stately-o.d man
of-war, the New Hampshire. After
which she "slowed " down " to wait
Tor the company of her sister steam
ship the CITY Of Dallas that was fol-
lowing her wake and bound for New
York. A gentle breeze was blow
ing and no two coy maidens could
have bowed more genteely to each
other the parting salutation than did
those stately steamships as they
dipped their bows into the waves off
the Light Ship at the outer bar and
turned their respective courses south
and north and were soon lost to each
others sight.
Calling at Brunswick, we made a
quick run TO Jacksonville whereeshe
discharged good cargo of freight
and cabin load of passengers In
their good-natured countenances, the
| latter all voted the Wester7o Ieras
| q tavorite. and Captain Hines just
the man to command her with such

sieve and Steward Duffy, with their
efficient subordinates,. all of whom
seemed to delight in catering 10 the
| pleasure and comfort of their passen-
gers.
l was pleased to learn that In OF
der to promptly move the freight &C
oumulating for this line, Mr.. Mallory
has found it necessary to order the
Dallas to follow the Zecas to Jack
sonville. The success of this ocean
steamship connection direct between
Jacksonville and New York will tell
a good tale for Jacksonville and for
all eastern and southern Florida.
Shippers in your locality and, indeed,
all along the whole line of the St.
Johns cannot too highly appreciate
the advantages of this line. During
