the varieties, and sometimes the spe.

seedlings almost invariably produce
sweet oranges, the quality is gener-

interior. Florida oranges are now
rated in the northern markets strictly
according to quality, the choicest
fruit yields the best, returns. This
can only be secured by planting bud
ded trees OF the most approved va.
rieties. Much prejudice has arisen
against budded trees from the fact
that many, of the. groves in the State
have been budded upon large, old
stocks, sometimes producing decayed
or followed trunks, When young
Seeding stocks are budded the point
Of union soon entirely disappears, and

SEAS ON OF TRANsPLANTING
Orangetrees should be transplanted
during the winter, when they are
not making new wood. At this sea-
son, the trees being dormant
they can be KEEP out of the ground
for considerable length of time, and
will bear Transporting a long distance
with safety. We begin moving nur.

continue the operation until they show

ing moved late IN the season, When

The most favorable time is during
the month of January and the early

growing in February. and should
never be moved after the fifteenth of
this month. Some years small trees
can be safely transplanted in the
rainy season of the summer, but it is
better to defer it until winter. Cool,

LOCATION.

1858 fAHi LOCATION. aI3F
A location remote from market, or
through line of transportation, occa-
sions great inconvenience and ex-
pense in marketing the crop, and in
procuring the necessary implements,
supplies, etc. The prospective or
ange grower should locate near a
town or village, and, if possible, up
on some navigable stream or railroad.
The country along the St, Johns
River aud its tributaries offers es-
pecial facilities in these respects. 1t
the grove be designed for place of
residence, healthfulness should be the
first consideration. When the land
is being cleared and broken the high
pine lands are freer from miasmatic
Influences than the hammocks, as the
latter are richer in the products of
organic decomposition. The prox-
unity of muck tor fertilizing parposes
is an item Of importance. a' e

NUTRIMENT FUEL FOR THE MIND
The true secret of living we'll ana
healtbily is to feed appropriately. The
chief, if not tho only, use of wraps and

loss OF animal heat by abstraction. 1t
is neither scientific nor hygienic, in
any true sense. to trust to external
sources Of supply for the warmth we
require to live we'll, happily, and use
fully. The food is more than the raj
ment, and those who desire to help the
poor and melancholy over their ",leal

chiefly anxious to feed them we'll and
