if the farmer is over cropped. Cotton for
instance should be chopped out as soon
as 1t gets large enough to stand the ope-
ration and should be gone over again in
from 10 to IL days. In other words it
should be gone over every time, within
that number of days. Many farmers
know that it requires nearly twice that
length OF time to get over their crops.
This stints the cotton, the corn and indeed
all crops that have to be plowcd and hoed
This IS bad, even if the first working
leaves the crop tolerably free from grass
during the stages of going over the first
time. But at the expiration Of twenty
days or more when they return they find
the plants encumbered with grass and
weeds, to extirpate which causes them to
be shaken and bruised at the roots and
upon the stalks. Thus they are set back
and the whole process afterwards, to the
end, is not only one of great labor but Of
serious injury to the plants. No more
land should be cultivated than can be kept
free from grass from the time the seeds
come up until the crop is gathered. Thus
attended to with even moderate seasons,
the crops will be good and the labor of
the husbandman will be amply rewarded.
We would impress this view upon the at
tention of all young and inexperienced
farmers. If thirty acres are allotted to
crop when fifteen are all that can be prop
erly worked, the result will invariably be
failure. From the thirty, or bales
may be obtained when from the 10 the
reward would be double and perhaps
more with half the labor and expenses.

DEATH OF A NOBLE INDIAN
CMIEF.

John Chupco, chief of the Seminoles,
one of the five civilized tribes of the In
dian Territory, died on the 18th Of Feb
ruary last, at Wewoka, the capital of the
Seminoles, of pneumonia, in his sixtieth
year. John Chupoo,i or Long John, as
his fellow soldiers in Che Union army used
to call him, was born in Florida, and
came West after the surrender of the
Seminoles under Bhly Bowlegs, John
Jumper and other noted chiefs, in the
early part Of 1850 He was principal
chief of the Seminole nation continuously
during the last fifteen years, and a pro-
Tossing christian. He was like father to
his people, wise in the council, the friend
of the widow and the fatherless, and
earnest in the "orsfip Of God. "ne.l
the rebellion broke out he wisely and
patriotically joined the Union forces, and
served all during the war, amid great suf
fering to his people, who were driven from
their country by the Confederate forces.
Physically he was one of the finest speci-
mems of his race, fleet Z inches tall,
straight as an arrow, and of dgnitied and
courteous bearing. In him his people
have lost one of their. best friends, wise
counselor and most prominent man. =

LETTER FROM MR.. G. G. GIBBS.

LETTER FROM MR.. 6. G.. GIBBS.
To the Editor of the Economist:
SIR-In the Economist OF the 7th. in
your article on Reclaiming Worn Lands
and Sheep Growing" you call for the ex-
perience of farmers and sheep growers,
and particularly upon me- deem it the
most important question to-day before the
farmers of Middle Florida | will not
give my experience, as it is far in excess
of what would be done by a new begin
ner. | began in 1876 to keep an exact
account of operations in the sheep-grow-
ing branch of my business, and have not
lost one per cent. of sheep by dogs and
thieves up to this date. have not failed
to take in the whole value of my flock
each year from the stock | commenced
with &c head and now have over 200
This looks like my experience, yet don't
so into details; but will say what, in my
opinion, is safe calculation, and what
can be certainly done by any reasonable
amount of care a flock can pay annu-
ally in wool, for each sheep so cents, and
one good lamb for each two sheep. In
other words flock Of 100 will increase
so and enough over to make up for all
that die, and can be increased at that rate
with almost certainty, paying annually
fifty cents per head in wool
notice your remarks on Bermuda
grass. am ready to accord to it all
that you claim, and to prove my assertion
it only requires a visit to my home where
you can see the grass that set last year
and am propagating as rapidly as possible
consistent with my other farming. I
am unable to say to certainty how it
happens that lose so few sheep by dogs
but / think it is due to the number of
bells keep in my flock, and advise one
bell to every five sheep.
If the large plantations in Leon were
divided In three equal parts, with a small
portion reserved for cultivation, and for
quarters for the sheep at night, and nova
BILE hurdles for night quarters, and change
them every week, and planted as soon as
made rich by the sheep, in crops suited
to the time in the year, such course
will restore Leon county sooner to its
former standard of wealth than any
other.
The sheep should be changed every
week from one field to another, thus Civ
ing one week to grazing and two to rest
Such course would keep much larger
stock than continuous grazing of the
whole field or plantation, and would, l
think, keep four sheep, paying 50 in wool,
and two lambs, worth 81, or Sc per acre,
and the expenses, including labor in car
ing for the sheep, planting turnips and
other forage for winter feeding, would
not exceed 81 per acre. The land would
steadily improve, and the quarters or
herding grounds would become so rich
that you can grow Irish potatoes and other
early vegetables for Northern shipment,
pears and oranges to perfection, and last
but not least, be independent of Sambo
and Cuff, or by using him could cultivate
200 or 800 acres to the man.

HOW TO PROTECT STRAW.
BERRIES FROM DROUGHT.

Just as our strawberries began to ripen
one season, very violent, hot southern
wind prevailed, which dried up the ripen-
ing fruit and began to shrivel the green.
Having an abundance of clean, coarse,
water-meadow hay in stack, we took
from this and spread it about three inches
thick over the strawberry bed and let it
lie there until the evening of the third
day. We then raked it off the outside
row, and found the berries filed out large
and full, as in cool, calm weather. We
picked the ripened fruit from this row,
and the next evening raked off the hay
from the second row to cover the first !;
and thus proceeded from day to day till
rain fell and the weather became cooler.
Then we removed all the hay from the
bed, except what was wanted to mulch
under the vines, to keep the berries clean
from the ground.

The London correspondent of the New
York Herald telegraphs as follows in re-
gard to the assassination of the Czar:
"The best account of the murder that
any eyewitness has been able to give is
that Of Capt. Novikoff, Of the Imperial
staff, who was present when the second
bomb was thrown, and who helped to
raise the dying Emperor This officer
had attended the inspection held at l
o'clock in the Great Michael Riding
School, and was on his way home down
the Nevsky Prospect, crossing the Cath
crime Canal, when he heard the first ex-
plosion. He arrived within thirty yards
of the Emperor when he saw cloud of
snow suddenly blown into the air. The
second bomb had exploded. The ground
was strewn with wounded men. Groans
were heard on all sides. On one heap Of
snow were a dead boy, wounded body
guard and a wounded civilian. In the
road lay the Emperor, motionless. He
wore the uniform of the Sappers of the
Guard, whom be had just been reviewing
His legs were shattered blood flowed
from his wounds. Some sailors came up
and raised him from the ground. Capt.
Novikof took him round the body; the
sailors held by the legs. They moved
forward faw nacnS whom the EmnarOr
said twice, Cold cold = and endeavored
to raise his hand to his forehead, on which
there was blood. Capt. Novikoff, sup.
porting the Gar with one arm, tried with
the other to get his handkerchief and bind
the Emperor's head
"At that moment the Grand Duke
Michael came up, and bending over the
Cars face said anxiously, How feelest

was difficult to hear what he said. He
did not utter single groan. The Grand
Duke snatched cap from bystander
and placed it on the Emperor's head
He then bade the sailors move forward
with him. The people had meanwhile
been running up from all sides. Many
fell on their knees all crossed themselves
and wept. There seemed to be no con-
veyance in which the wounded Gar could
be placed. The police officer had driven
up in sledge, but the horses had taken
fright and ran away. A common sledge
was standing not far of, but it was too
small to allow the wounded man to be
supported in it. Capt. NovikoF asked
the Grand Duke MichaePs permission to

breakfast next morning we raked off
two rows, leaving one uncovered during
the night, as it seemed all the better for
getting the dew, and the berries were
fresheT and finer for picking in the morn
ing than even those were in the evening.
Clean straw, we presume, would have
been just as effectual as hay, and either
of these scattered thinly at night over
bed of strawberries, would preserve them
from frost. 1t would be prudent for those
who grow only small patches of straw
berries, for their own eating, to have a
little straw on hand with which to cover
them in case of severe drought or frost.

PAMPAs GRASS.

The cultivation of pampas grass, which
grows SO luxuriantly in Florida, now so
much used for decorative purposes, has
become quite a profitable industry in
South Carolina. One grower planted
three-quarters of an acre, and the pampas
grass at two and half cents per head,
yielded him $500. Another grower sold
all he could raise at seven and half
cents per head.
