Our Grange Crops.
New York Exchange says

A New York Exchange says:
ut is stated that the recent storm
utterly destroyed the Florida orange
crop. 1t is estimated that the yield
would have been 100000 boxes
and that the loss will reach $780,
000."
This is an erroneous statement,
for although the groves in some sit
uations suffered severely, there are
numbers Of groves, and those some
of the largest, that have escaped in
jury. So many new groves have
come into bearing this year that they
will more than cover the number Of
oranges lost by the storm. The
fruit this year is also of superior
quality, very few rusty oranges will
be shipped this season.

No Money In Lines.
Editor of the Florida Agriculturist

Editor Of the FtoTtdd AgTtcuHurtSt:
Thinking it might be of interest
and value to some of your readers to
know the prospect for the sale of
lines in this city, | have gathered
what information [ could, regarding
the matter, which is embodied in
the following:
Reading the article, ''Facts about
Trade in Foreign Fruits" In your
issue of August 18th, 1 found that
Mr.. Bostwick the writer of the
article mentions Vessels & Co., as
one of the Chief importers of West
India fruit, and therefore concluded
to call on said firm for the informa.
tion l was after in order to insure
reliability, and I would here ex-
press my thanks to Mr.. Vessels Jr.,
for his kind and courteous manner
in answering my questions
Said firm controls large part Of
the Jamaica trade, having two
steamers (and soon will put on a
third). in their service, importing,
with all kinds Of tropical fruit, lines
which few houses do. But they do
not think it advisable for Floridians
to engage in lime culture extensively
as there is no possible sale for them
as long as lemons are plentiful and it
is seldom that is not the case. AT pre-
sent they could scarcely De given
away, owing to the enormous guam
tity of lemons in market throughout
the Union, and they assert there are
tens OF thousands OF boxes held over
for an advance in prices which will
entirely prevent the sale Of lines.
The principal-use made of the
lime is the manufacture of citric acid,
but we could not successfully com
pete with the West Indies, as they
can raise better article with less
expense and trouble than we. The
juice is sent here and sells from
30 TO go cents per gallon to whole
sale druggists who manufacture it
into the article known as citric acid
These are the statements of one of
the most important houses in the trade,
and therefore deserves the consider
alton OF those in your State who
may contemplate investing time and
money in the production of lines to
any considerable extent.
may have added that Jamaica
oranges are selling at $500 per 100
and | find it much inferior to Florida
fruit. But why can We not get
oranges ripe in September? Is the
Homosassa an early variety and how
early =? 1t is evident an extension of
our shipping season would be to
our advantage. Having opportuni-
ties TO watch the market you may
hear from me later if you think it of
any use. II. Z. STRACK.

Editor Of The Florida Agriculturist:
The prospects of reduced rates Of
freight and passage to and from
Florida, just now, is much better
than it was few weeks ago. We
now have a written. agreement from
the superintendent of the /. & N.
railroad to carry freight TO and from
Florida, as far as THEN read goes, at
the same rates we now pay to and
from New York. IT the roads south
Of Chattanooga, (which is the end OF

are certainly well fixed as to cheap
freight and passage TO Florida. The
trouble lies in the southern end.
Heretofore we have been taught to
believe that the trouble was all with
the l.. d N. railroad. That is amls-
take. The L. d \ as | have said,
have given us written agreement
for as low freight rates per mile from
louisville over their road to Florida,
as any transportation company from
any other point. This arrangement
and agreement has been brought
about through the efforts OF the
Louisville Board of Trade, DR.. Peters,
aud Others OF Florida. In fact, all
has been done at this end OF the route
that can be done. The question re-
mains. how can we induce the
Georgia and Florida roads on the
route 10 make equally as liberal
terms One would suppose those
roads would jump at the opportunity
to build up a business over their
roads, and to settle up the country

Fence Posts.
Editor Of The Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Of The Florida Agricuhurist:
I should like to answer Mr.. Ma
sons enquiries as to the best mode
to secure a fence post that will not
rot. The best way is to use the
patent point for posts (lately granted).
This point is made OF iron and is in.
serted in the ground and receives the
post at the surface and is fastened by
means OF bolts. This keeps the post
out OF the ground, thereby insuring
its lasting qualities; and when a
post gives way another is as easily in.
serted as the first. For fnrther inior-
nation address the communicate.
