appears that Hamburg Butler cannot
yet bring himself to bear gracefully any
reference to that massacre from which
he derives his pseudonym. When Sena-

terms to that atrocity, Butler, who was
chief actor in it., replied with coarse
viuuperation. in truo bull-dozing style,
as if to give the lie direct or circum-

which render the massacre, and all re-

Bdy- Mr., Bayard's proposition to va
cate the offices of Supervisor of Elec-

give the Democrats of the Senate a
chance to prevent any enforcement of
the Federal Election law ut all in No

Editor ofthe Florida 44griculturist:
We have had some hot weather
lately. For several days the winds
were westerly, and but very little at
night, so that the wisest thing to do,
and perhaps the easiest, was to sit
down on our porch and keep quiet
as possible. For three days the
thermometer ran up to 940 and $50,
which last, if my memory serves me
right is three degrees higher than
we have had itat our place for three
years. Now the wind has gov pack
to its old quarter, southeast, and it
Is cool and pleasant again, when one
gets the benefit of it. -
"Its an ill wind that blows nobody
good" you know, and our west winds
were not an exception to the rule
When the wind is from that quarter,
as you know, the water is calm along
our shore aud we take advantage OF
it, to shoot fish. Walking along the
high banks, the fish that come up to
the rocks to feed, red fish, trout and
mullet, form au easy mark for the
rifle, aud one skilled III that practice
can have fine sport at times. we

liere lately and if dressed immediate

Plne-AppIes in Florida.

NUMBER IL.
Written for the Florida Agricultuist By Rec j
II. White.
The prospective planter naturally
asks three questions about pine
apples before he decides to plant:
l. Have 1.-THE required climatic con
ditions?
2. Have | suitable soil ?
3. What returns may reasonably
expect ?
The necessary climatic conditions
were mentioned in the AGRICULTU.
RIsT of April 21st.
What soil is suitable, now claims
attention. One writer says, "new
rich land underlaid with clay" An
other "the soil should be very rich
ana if possible it ought to be clay"
And yet another "they will do we'll
on pine land with some fertilizer, but
a good deal better on rich hammock
land"
AS before indicated, this industry,
here is in it's infancy. We are all
learners with most Of it to learn; yet
it is safe to say that these men are
not the embodiment of all pine apple
lore. 1t is strange what mania
there is for "hammock land" among
fruit men, when so much of it is un-
suitable for most kinds OF fruit. At
first, low rich land was the fashion
here for pine-apples, and somesproved
that it was expensive to follow the
fashion. My plantation is on pine
land underlaid with yellow sand, the
first planting without fertilizing, and
yet "the good deal better" has not
been produced by any OF my neigh
bors however rich their soil. Many
trials have proved failures. -Four
classes will include most of them.
l, Those who have planted on wet
land of any kind.
q Those who have planted on
coarse land of any kind.
8. On rich black land.
4. On rich shell land.
Upon many points we need the
verdict of extended experience, but
on two points l think all intelligent
planters agree.
l. The soil must be dry.
2. The soil must be fine, and l think
there is gro wing conviction that our
lighter grades OF soil with suitable
assistance will give more abundant
results than the better grades howev.

Louisville Exhibition.

Editor Of the Florida AgricuHurist:
l am i'll receipt of a communication
from the secretary of the Louisville,

that the State of Florida make an ex-
hibltion of their fruit and other pro.
ducts, at their exhibition, commenc-
ing on September 9TH, and closing
on the 18th OF October next. Please
insert this IN your paper III order
that We may have an expression OF
the fruit growers i'll the different
localities Of the State in time to

sary to carry out the object 1 think
it would be of great advantage to

Poultry Raising in Florida.

Mrs. M. r. Morgan, lady from
kentucky residing at Hibernia Flor
ida, sets us a good example in poul-
try raising, OF turkeys she has raised
already this year ninetyseven, and
has sixty eggs now setting. From
thirty hens, mostly half brood Dork-
ings, she has raised 367 chickens,
and seventy-three guineas. She
writes us:
Il really think this very fine eli
mate tor raising all kinds OF poultry,
and from the prices obtained here the
whole year round Tor eggs, we think it
strange that no one has everstarted an
egg farm. Did you ever try feeding
the grown chickens on wheat screen
ings instead of corn? 1t is certainly
the finest egg producer have ever
tried. Besides the young chickens |
have raised from the thirty hens, we
are getting the greatest quantity of
eggs and have sold forty dozen in the
last few weeks, besides using them
every meal for our family"
Now this is an invalid lady who
came here to reside on account of her
health and has become strong from the
effects OF the climate. by looking at
ter her garden and poultry she takes
plenty OF open air exercise and her
mind is prevented from brooding
over her ailments, consequently she
now enjoys good health as Others
would do if they followed her ex-
ample instead Of shutting themselves
up in close rooms of hotels and
boarding houses.

The CinchOna in Jamaica.

A late newspaper from Kingston,
Jamaica, gives us some information
of the progress CT the Cinchona
plantations in that Island and the
prices obtained for the first shipment
of bark:
esterday's Gazette contains a
copy of account sales of 100 bags of
Cinchona which shows extremely
satisfactory results. The highest
price obtained for any lot was for
3234 pounds of yellow bark, which
sold for 6s. Sd. per pound and
the lowest for a bag containing
seventy-eight and quarter pounds
of the same description which
realized only Is. Cd. per pound.
The average price obtained was As.
Sd. per pound. In memorandum
annexed to the account sales, the
director of public gardens and
plantations points out that Sin every
instance the bark from the govern
ment plantations of Jamaica has
gained the leading prices" and he
also states that whereas root bark
from c. Succir16a grown at the East
India Government Plantations sold
for Is. I'd. per pound, that sent from
here brought IS. and 5s. Id, being a
difference OF no less than Is. ID. and
IS. per pound in favor OF the
Jamaican product. Mr.. Morris, as
was to be expected from one of his
widely acknowledged ability, has
discovered that there has been made
a vast mistake in the system OF plant
ing; trees that should have been set
out at distances of four feet apart, |
giving 1900 to the acre, were actual
ly planted at twelve feet apart. AT

your cold frame or boxes and SOW
the seed. DO not SOW too thick, and
those that grow too close, take up
when about six inches high and prick
them out about four inches apart
which will cause them to grow low

you intend to SCI out the plants,
should be we'll manured with muck,
or artificial fertilizers, and thoroughly
worked to insure good heads. a
heavy, moist and fresh loan is the
best. Sow your seed i'll July and
August. Moist weather is the best
time to transplant, say in October.
Ii the weather is dry dip the roots of
the plants in soft mud and transplant
in the evening, giving each plant a
good watering as you put them out.
The distance apart should be eighteen
inches by two feet. Cut worms are
Obstructive to the young plants and
they should be searched for early
