by the department gave the place a new
name, and the n-Stephensburgians
walked up suddenly one morning to find
that the official designation of the place
had not only been changed, but changed
into-Pnn-7 7Sps' But the Newtown-Steph-

He says further, that nitrogen is the

During one of my recent trips
over the Transit Railroad l had the
pleasure OF the company OF one OF
the most experienced gentleman in
the orange business, Mr. E. Bean, of
San Mateo, ST. Johns river. Mr.. Bean
established packing house at Waldo
this winter, and has handled the bulk
of the oranges of that section of
Florida. He purchased aud shipped
the crop Of Mr.. Harris Orange Lake
grove, and paid that gentleman
rather more than eighteen thous'
and dollars for the product of
his grove. Few industries with the
same amount of outlay of capital can
show such a dividend. MIR. Bean
told me he had just returned from a
trip to the Indian river country, and
the prospects for an increased pro-
duction of oranges next year ap-
peared very tlattering. His estimate
from all the dates he can gather, are,
100000 boxes as the crop of this
winter, averaging $50 oranges to
the box, makes 3O,O00,000 of oranges.
He Calculates if no injury Details
the next crop, that the product will
be 100000 boxes, an increase of so

been set out within sight of the cars

the soil again, one will be surprised
to see how well the garden gets
along without any extra aid.
At those seasons when the soil is
moist enough to cause the decay of
leaves, small branches and waste veg
etable refuse, it should be spread
over the surface and at once dug in.
The whole mandrial value of the
refuse is thus retained in the soil,
and IS fit for use Immediately. In
vineyards the trimmings Of the vines
are often cut up and plowed in. The
orchard trimmings are more woody,
and do not decay so soon. With our
short rainy seasons, limbs larger than
a pencil should not be plowed under,
as they take too long to decay. In
the vegetable or the flower garden
the green refuse, such as weeds,
leaves, ETC., decay in few weeks at
the tartherest. and abound in nitro
gen. johnson, in his Elements Of
Agricultawal Chemistry, says that
vegetable substances rot more readily
in a green state, because the sap OF
the green plant soon ferments In the
interior of the stem and leaves. The
process OF green soiling, which con-
stitrtes so important part OF high
farming, consists merely Of blowing
under crop OF rapidly growing
plants, such as clover, lucerne, NAL
lows, English mustard, all of which,
together with many others, have
been used for this purpose. We
once knew a prosperous farmer
whose plan was, when he dug pota-
toes, to cram:the potato tops into the
hole, and then spadeful OF earth on
top. 1t was habit born of his
thrifty ways. Such simple things
often help to explain a mans pros
