Seedlings and Budded Orange
Trees"
Of The Florida Agriculturist.


LAKE WEIR, July 25.
In late issue you published an
article copied from the Pacific Ramal
Press. Said article being a correspon-
dents opinion of the budded groves
of Florida to the Boston Adoertiser,
and published in that paper. Now,
Messrs. Editors, when l read the
article in question, published in your
paper, did not conclude as did your
correspondent, u" as l infer from
his reply to your first publication,
that you published the -Adcertiser's
correspondents letter with an idea
of endorsing it as correct, or as au-
thority on the subject Of orange
groves. You probably merely wanted
to let the world know that there were
yet Baron Munchausins alive in the
land, or you took the opportunity to
notify the proper authorities of the
tact, that the public fool killer was
direlect in his duty on the Pacific
Coast.
| | will not attempt to enter into a
long dissertation, "a la Galesio," on
the orange tree in this article, but
would like to have my say on the
subject. The publication of the first
article referred to has certainly had
the effect you desired, viz calling
out opinions on the subject. The
monkeys have been stirred up and the
show is open, and if you publish
every mans opinion, who knows Just
how it is on the subject of budded
VS.. sweet trees, you will not be
troubled in not having plenty of fresh

row; he that now employs may
shortly be the employed. After 90.
ing over the several plans proposed
for improving the laborers' condition
he had been forced, unwillingly to
the conclusion that the ouly plan
that can at present work with equal
justice to both parties is, for the la
borer to go into the market and sell
his labor for what it will bring, and
those that do not succeed in making
a living must be supported by proper
legislation and the charity of the
more successful" Considerable dis.
cussion followed on the subject of
the essay, after which, the crops
just visited and their treatment were
taken up. Mr. Hodges advised chip
manure for grape vines. Mr.. Men
dell asked when was the best time to
move large fig trees, and was advised
not to move them, but TO take cut
tings instead.
The Secretary exhibited very
fine bundle of oats of the red.rust
proof variety, grown by Mr.. w. S.
Abbott, from one seed, and stated
that many stocks raised by Mr.. Alb
bott were over five feet high and the
heads we'll filled.

tention to move change in the con-

bows. Their peculiar theories would
not effect me, nor the quality of my
fruit. Many mistakes are made by
both. Sweet Seeding and budded-
tree advocates in not procuring the
proper tree to start with, or will not
take the trouble to hunt up the best
tree to bud from, hence when their
groves get to bearing they are disap
pointed in the fruit and condemn the
character of the tree, when, in fact.
they are to blame for not using due
care IN selecting the fruit to start
with. A proper soil, which is abso-
lutely essential to success, an ordi-
nary amount of common sense, sew
eral years of labor, combined with
that kind of resolution that will head
mad bull in long lane on hot
summers day, will produce first
class orange grove, whether made
from sweet seedlings or budded trees.
Now, a few words to your COM
ment on "J's" article. Is Hart.
Gwynn, Dummitt or Starke groves
budded ?-I mean the original and
old portions of their groves, not the
small additions that have been added
from syear to year. You refer to
them as budded groves. Harris and
Bishops are budded. Now, how
about this Have you not in clear
ing your skirts of "J's" insinuations,
gotten rather too straight and leaned
too much the other way? However,
I'm not going to raise any point
gard you as az .5a5 on the orange
question, and do not intend to run a
muck, but prefer to stand one side
and see fair fight between the sweet
Seeding and budded-tree men. |
will just make one suggestion, that
when a party writes let him write
over his own signature. We out
siders could then probably be better
prepared to accept or reject anyone's
theories by knowing that the writer
had, or did not have fish to fry, in
advocating any peculiar kind of tree.

MEETING OF THE AGRICULTURAL
AND FRUIT-GROWERS'
SOCIETY.

According to postponement, the
society met at the residence of Mr..
r. D. Smith, June 25th, seventeen
members pl esent. Dinner called at
II o'clock. Among the eatables on
the well-loaded table were many pro-
ducts of the farms and gardens of the
members. Prominent among them
was large pot of baked pork and
Boston beans, raised and baked by
Mr.. and Mrs. Rolfe. The cucumbers
and onions brought to the table by
Mr.. Smith were of remarkable size,
some of the latter measuring four
and half inches in diameter. After
dinner a walk was taken about the
place. One of the first things to at
tract attention was patch of North
ern red-top grass in full bloom, look
ing well and forming perfect sod
also, a small patch OF red clover in
bloom and looking well. Some Para
grass, started short time ago from
two cuttings, is making remarkable
growth. Quite a variety of roses and
other towering plants and shrubs
are looking well, very fine tube
rose IN full bloom being one Of them.
Some tg trees, two years old, have
quite large cropso OF truit upon them.
In the large beds OF pine-apples many

and all agree that the Advertisey.'s
correspondents statements about buy-
ing budded groves, owners anxious
to sell, fruit!deteriorating, is all bosh.
No good, common sense Florida alli-
gator of the Pratt variety would have
risked his reputation by fathering
such an article. yet Us" feelings evi-
IDENTIFY got the best of him in his re-
ply, for it is evident that he did not
write on a cool collar. He says go
ask any one who has grove and the
universal verdict is in favor of the
budded fruit Now, my opinion is,
go ask anyone who has a grove and
the universal verdict is in favor of the
fruit growing Oh the owners trees,
whether they be budded or sweet.
Now, who is riekt about this ? Again
~" says: GO ask Captain Stark
where he gets his best fruit" Now,
this connundrun 1 cannot answer
positively, but WI hazard an opinion,
basing my opinion on the supposition
that the Captain Is man Of cultivated
taste, and viii reply, that the Captain
would get his ranges from the tree
bearing the best fruit, and not pay
any attention as to whether it was a
budded Or sweet Seeding; and would
further say thhtsif there was either
budded sof &eet seeding in his
reach, Of TIA 5son Brown variety,
tnat. Again Ss says FDo you sup
! pose for moment that you could
sell Seeding pear in any of the
Northern markets at any price ?" |
answer and say, No! yet, seeding
pear and a seeding orange are two
very distinct and different fruits. A
pear will sport hence there is no cer-
tainty in getting good pear by
planting the seed of good pear, but
very different as regard the orange.
All authority that have ever read
all men who l have talked to on the
subject, who had built up groves
from seeding trees agree that the
genuine sweet orange will not sport
My own observation and close inspec
ton of many groves in Florida con
firm in my mild the correctness o1
the above statement. A seedeplanted
from the orange grown on Seeding
tree will produce the same fruit. In
this respect the orange differs from
all other fruit, but fact that people
generally, specially Northern men
who have been accustomed to bud
ding trees Of all kinds SO as to insure
good fruit, have failed to compre

DOUBTFUL PRACTICES.

lorlgInal.l
DOUBTFUL PRACTICES.
Paul enjoins it upon us to abstain from all
appearance of evil. 1 Thes. s.: %. 1t is
manifest that the Apostle charges US to keep
ourselves at a distance from every doctrine
and practice that is not apparently in conform
ity with the general teachings of the Scrip
lures. There are many practices, common
among the men of the world, from which all
who would live Cody should keep themselves
at distance. Some of these practices are
clearly sinful, whilst others are not They
are sinful only in their tendencies, and, it may
be, from peculiar circumstances. Such prac'
tices are of doubtful propriety, and it is the
duty of all to abstain from them. They have
the appearance of evil. If they are not sin
full in themselves, they, on account Of the sur
rounding circumstances, lead to sin.
There are some practices which cannot be
pronounced sinful, only when carried to excess,
and there is usually little danger of this.
There are other practices which, in themselves,
are not sinful but it is nearly impossible to
keep them within proper bounds. To the un-
sancti6ed mind, there is, in these practices,
something irresistibly fascinating. From all
such practices, it is the bounden duty of all,
who would live godly lives, to abstain. There
are some professed Christians who seem to
think that they may, with impunity, engage
in anything which is not expressly forbidden
by name in the Scriptures. To put such no.
tions into practice, would lead to the most
dangerous results. Card playing, in none Of
its various forms, is not so much as once men,
toned in the Bible. Nothing is said in the
Bible about gambling, in any way whatever.
Is it right, therefore, for professed Christians
to gamble? No; because it is species Of
stealing, and this is forbidden in the eighth
commandment.
Before we conclude that any practice is not
SINFUL we should be sure that it does not lead
to the violation of any one of the ten com.
mandments. All the causes, MEANS. occa-
sions, and provocations which lead to the vio-
lation of any one or all the ten command
ments are evil, and are to be abstained from.
Every practice that is not cause, means, oc-
casion or provocation to obedience, leads to
open and determined rebellion if persisted in.
Some persons who profess to be Christians,
seem to be on the look out for practices which,
to say the least of them, are of doubtful pro-
priety. They enter into these practices with
peculiar delight and great zeal. Its not long
until they forget to do good and learn to do
evil. Other professed Christians seem to be
continually striving to do as little good and
as much evil as possible, and still retain the
character of child of God. This certainly
is strange, but it isno more strange than true.
The inscription upon the banner ofsuch Chris
tians is "Little for holy living-much for
worldly pleasure"

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under the edge

the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet he can scarcely summon up forti-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when taken

give them a FAIR TRIAL.
