level which is sufficient, as more than
that makes it too dry and trashy.
In orange growing the storm has
taught me several lessons,-to leave
as much timber on the north and
east as possible,-to grow trees with
short bodies, and without any thorns
on them, which can be done by using
thornless buds. ] have one Florida
variety which is now entirely thorn
less and the Homosassa and Magnum
Bonum are fast being made so. My
thornless trees were not injured at
all by the wind and when they bear
there will be no thorns to stick up
the fruit. Don't you think that is
the reason nearly all the foreign
varieties are thornless
The storm has taught several les
sons in house building one of the
most important is to get good solid
pitch-pine blocks-yellow pine won't
do-and put them at least two feet
in the ground Where live.oak can
be had it is better than lightwood.
Secure good heavy stills aud brace
the house well both at top aud bot
tom. Nail the rate we'll at both
ends, and put good braces on the
root. Then when the storm comes
one will not feel so much like the
man spoken of in the Bible who
built his house upon the sand. Our
sympathies went out many times to
the many poor fellows who were
toiIing on the sea, and the mails are
already bringing in list OF the
uanes OF those who will toll no

Editor Of the Florida Agricalturist
In the proceedings Of the Lake
George Fruit Growers Association,
contained in the AGRICULTURE ST tor
June 23d, 1880, it is stated that the
appearance upon the orange tree,
commonly called smut, was described
by Dr. G. J. Kenworthy as "a fun
gus" Dacnadti,tns neo1aophyllen7a, and
by Mr.. William H. Ashmead as ''the
white scale, Ceroplast,ts aaesci."
These gentlemen probably examined
the different forms OF lie which they
describe, as there was doubtless upon
the twigs sent them both scale and
fungus. AS injustice is done by this
seeming difference of opinion when
no difference really exists, l hope
you will insert this explanation to
set the matter right.

Editor Of The Florida AgricstlturiSt:
Our settlement was visited on Sat
urday night by a storm of wind and
rain that lasted all day Sunday with
out any abatement beginning to
abate after midnight; by morning on
Monday it was only blowing a fair
breeze, though the rain did not
cease until late in the evening.
Great damage was done to timber; 1

and uprooted in every direction. All

Orange trees have suffered less than
any Others; leaves and limbs were torn
and rubbed to some extent. The
swaying OF the body back and forth
had tendency to lift the tree right
out off the ground. Those in bear

either torn off or pricked by thorns.
have heard OF few trees that were
twisted off.
Houses suffered considerably,
hardly any were found water proof

Howe who had his house partly up
had it leveled to the ground. Mr..
Merrill had his stable to fall IN, Ill a
few minutes after he got uneasy and
took his horse out. DR.. Heron had
his barn blown down, the wheels OF
his wagon and cart alone, saving his
horses and COWS from destruction.

The Hurricane In Jamaica.

We all know that the island OF
Jamaica has been devastated by a
hurricane this is the last straw to
break the camel's back. Half a CEN
fury ago Jamaica was counted as
the "Best Jewel in the British
Crown" 1t was refuge for the
young sons OF the Nobility of Eng
land ard considered an Ey Dorado
from which they could make fortunes
to found new houses and honor to the
old stock but since then Australia
and New Zealand have usurped the
glory that once belonged to Jamaica.
Let us look into the cause. AT one
time she British government COM
PEELED every person who entered on
government land to be possessed
of certain number OF slaves for
every hundred acres that they pat
ented, and for every hundred slaves
the law compelled the employment
OF a certain number of white men as
supervisors. Then arose the Exeter
Hall philanthropist that lead to the
emancipation Of the slaves. AT that
time Jamaica contained about 10000
whites and 100000 blacks; now
there are not 5000 whites and there
are 100000 blacks. Miles upon miles
of land along the roads, that once
was in the highest state Of cultiva-
ton, yielding thousands and hun.
dreds of thousands of dollars 10 the
proprietors and enriching English
merchants, are now in forests; and the
traveller can pass, every mile or two,
the remains Of buildings that formerly
cost millions OF money but now dis
mantled and in ruins. Jamaica pos.
sesses the finest Of climates and the
richest OF soils, but misgovernnent

cent climate and splendid land, it

pie and can even support more than
that with ease; but where the popu-
