Cost of Hauling Fruit to Market.

OOcI VA ALauAAhso NAO W -iAeSA nv Os
II. J. NJ. Porter, an Southern Farmers Monthly.
The moving of fruit is bound to be-
come one OF the most important items
in Florida. But few take into con-
sideration the cost of hauling their
fruit to a place of shipment for trans
portation when they select a location
Tor settlement. The great desire
appears to be to obtain land, no mat
ter where, so they get it, and even
will take a refuse piece rather than
pay a good price tor frst-class loca-
ton. And it is upon this question l
wish TO call the attention of those
who contemplate a settlement in
Florida.
When the settler comes in, his first
thought should be health, although,
tor that matter, nearly all high, dry
lands in Florida are healthy, perhaps
more SO than any new country; the
next, location, with quality of soil.
When good land and sure communi-
cation are found, with health com.
biued, do not let matter of dollars
and cents scare you out. 1t you can
not get forty acres buy ten, and if
you cannot get ten, get what you can,
Tor one acre ot good land, and health
and location combined, when you can
step aboard of the cars or first. class
steamboat, is worth more to the
owner than ten times as much land
off at a distance or in au out-ot.the.
way place, where you must hitch up
horse to do the least chore. For
ouce having made your choice, it is
difficult TO make a change without
much cost and trouble. You soon
find out that you have made a poor
selection and try to sell, but 70 buyer
comes. Although you may have good
land and healthy location, you find
it inconvenient and expensive, where
as if you had been satisfied with less
land at higher prices, you still would
have been the gamer, particularly in
raising fruits and vegetables.
The orange is prolific bearer, aud
if an extt nsive grove is contemplated
much depends on the nearness to
some depot or steamboat landing, so
Is to lessen the expense OF hauling as
much as possible. In a former article
made mention Of the cost of hauling
oranges 10 place of shipment, which
will call attention to again. We
will estimate an acre OF orange trees
At one hundred, and trees at fifteen
years old, to produce five hundred
oranges TO the tree; that would give
he owner fifty thousand oranges per
acre. Then we will estimate fifteen
hundred oranges 10 be a good load
Ior one horse, and if the distance was
lar and hilly in the Florida sand it
would be too much. There would
be OF one-horse loads thlrty-tnree
and one-third, which at so cents per
load for hauling one mile would
amount to over SIG. A pretty heavy
AK such short distance, and besides
each year increases the yield and eX-
pense. And when we take into con-
,ideration the length OF time an or
ange grove will live and produce
lnder good treatment, those who can
afford 1t had best pay $500 per acre
70 secure a good location than take a
poor one, or one at a long distance

as a gift. Look, you who intend set

ride. He ordered them in the car,
