OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
Teddy,s Coon.

Teddy's Coop.
one day at the attic window
heard such breezy clamor-
ne sounds or saw and a hatcbet
Inc pounding of nails with a hammer.
"niie the chatter of Ted and his playmate
Iogether was 4, incessant
That judged whatever they worked M
Twas probably something pleasant
Each gave the other an order
AS often as he was able:
iney almost might have been building
Another tower of Babel.
mad no glimpse of the toilers-
Not even when lunch was rea6y1
inough up through the dust Of ~ stairway
more than once called, "rdN."
AL last, though, driven by hpigef,.
ne two little boys descented,
Ana asked If the work on he tower
And the strife of tongues was ended,
linen both made haste TO tell me
The secret of all their labor;
half-fedged deve had been given
TO Ted by little nGghbor-
ragged, pin-feathery pigeon,
With bill wide-open and yellow,
And they were busy at building
coop for the lttle fellow.
That day and the next In the attic
heard the Dustle and clamor,
The sounds of the saw and the Ratchet,
The pounding of nails with hammer.
But the pigeon must have considered
The whole affair but bother,
For before the coop could be finished
He hew away to his mother.

Clouds.

8 Nothing in nature is so immaterial
and delicately changing as the clouds.
1t is worth while TO spend day in Oh
servation, TO note what exhaustless pos
sibilities of change lie in few hours
time. One of the commonest shows Of
clouds-evolution, and one which seems
q to follow certain law. begins with a
multitude of soft globular figures that
may cover the entire sky these dissolve
into host of finely-mottled fish scales,
then marshal themselves into ranks like
waves of the sea, emerging at last into ~
thin, delicate Fabric, like crumplea
muslin.
On still summer day, when great
masses of soft vapor fill the heavens, the
procession of figures is scene of en-
chantment. Stately ANIMALS stride past,
the like of which are never seen again !;
broad-winged birds sail into the west,
never to return grand clouds move by
that are turned into mighty chariots on
the horizon flocks of white sheep troop
1eisurely along into other pasture fields !;
tall towers and castles rise out of shape
lessness into strong symmetry, to dis
solve like visions nameless forms rise,
glide past and vanish into space-Until
change seems the law of the world and
permanence only myth. &et
When the sun has set, and this dis
solving view of vapors becomes painted
spectacle, the eye is Toasted with color
as the fancy is with form. The slow
dawn Of color, which first tints the
clouds edge, then grows into warm
effusion till the whole mass is irradiated,
the ricll deepening of hucs, the endless
shades, the subtle fading away of light,
one cloud after another, gray and for
saken, until onl y golden glow fingers
in the horizon, is like poem or SYM
phony of the old masters. The effect
stays in the memory long after the de-
tails of the picture are forgotten.

selves to 1t and starve to death.
Here is one remedy that has been
highly spoken of and which [ intend
to give a fair trial. 1t is the tomato
vine. The methods proposed are to
hang the vines in the tree, or to mac.
crate them in water and using it as a
wash. Whale oil soap is highly
commended by those who have given
it a trial, and several persons have
informed me that they have been sue
cesstul i'll using a moderately strong
solution OF potash, applying it as a
wash with a brush.
The scale of the insect may re-
main for considerable length of
time after they are destroyed. but
when the trees begin to make rapid
growth the scales are often forced off
and hang in patches. l reiterate the
statement (as believe it to be a
necessary procedure) that local ap-
plications will only afford temporary
relief, unless the tree is started into
a healthy, vigorous growth by judi
cious manuring.

Selleck's grove is looking finely, his
trees from six years old buds being

four and three years old also having
great quantity of flowers and every
thing else looking in its usual neat
and fourishing condition. After

Mrs. l.. D. Hatch, Mr. and Mrs. G.

Mrs. M. B. Rolte. The president
then called upon Mr. Selleck for a
few remarks. He sald what is most
needed here by new comers is persist.
ent effort to improve their lands, not
TO be too easily discouraged.
The fault mostly noticed by them
is poor soil but the great trouble has
been they do not give the soil a fair
trial and they go back discouraged
which has been a great damage to
the country. He does not believe in
poor soil and has not changed his
opinion Of it in the six years he has
lived here.
1t is precious soil if rightly i'm
proved.
He believes small amount of real
estate in this country if rightly i'm
proved will increase i'll value faster
here than i'll any other State in the
Union. Select some point, improve
that and stick to il. After other re-
marks by Mr.. Selleck the president
thanked him for his speech and said
the best endorsement of it was his
grove. There were some remarks
by Mr.. Smith and other members
and the meeting was adjourned.

1t was a pleasure to me, on ar
irving in this city, 20 learn that the
State Fair was to be held here this
week. Nothing very great could be

ducts, and, considering that the State
is large, and means of transportation
poor. il was as good as it is reasona-
Die to expect. | was :old, by an
old citizen, that there was a better

pected prizes then, and, because they
did not get them last year, would not
come again. They are not yet edu-
Gated up to the idea that Florida fairs
are to let strangers know what the
State can do. The building in which
the show took place is about three
miles northeast from the city, in a
ten acre lot. and is, by guess, 100 feet
by $50. The central portion was
occupied by fruit-chiefy oranges
and lemons. There were very fine
large citrons, resembling lemons, ten
inches long, with very rough, une-
ven surface, and quite as yellow; shad.
docks, very course, but large, pale
yellow member of the family, and
grape fruit, ABOUT halt way III size
between and very much like large
orange and nearly as good 20 eat as
an orange. Oranges ot many varie-
ties-a species called the mandarin,
aud another called the tangarine-
were shown, and the display ended
with two or three seedlings-on the
whole making a splendid show.
There was a very superior show OF
vegetables i'll large variety; and
among those peculiar To the latitude
were the cassava pronounced cah-
sah.vah) and arrowroot. The former
grows in roots of enormous length
and size, and from this and the latter
great expectations are held for their
starch-making qualities. A factory
for this business has been erected at
Sanford, some 200 miles South Of
Jacksonville, OIL the st. Johns river.
An excellent display of preserved
fruits was also made, many coming
from the Manatee country. Near the
main entrance door on the left, (the
starting point for tour around the
hall), was show OF drinks made
from Florida fruits, among them
"bitters" made OF the bitter orange.
A liberal quantity was constantly on
draft Tor any person who chose to
test it, and, though to my taste it
resembled the "picra" Of my child
hood, observed that many who
tried it returned to try it again.
There was a good collection of Flor
ida woods, Florida cotton, and splen-
did Florida sugar-cane. Perhaps as
good as anything on show was a spe-

To bring your fruit trees forward
rapidly they should be transplanted
at least three times, with careful and
judicious root pruning. Grapevlnes,
and especially strawberry plants, are
greatly improved by this means.
The roots love the fresh soil of the
new home, while cutting their roots
causes them to send out lateral
branches, and thicken up.
