our arrival in Florida. some years ago,
we heard complaints from all
quarters of the want OF some good
fodder plant suited.to this climate,
and it then occurred TO us that Guinea
and Para grasses, which we had cnl-
tivated in the W est Indies, could be
made success here, and we, there
fore, introduced them. Like every
thing to which people have been un-
accustomed they have not received the
proper attention that they deserve, but
the time will yet come when they will
be found the greatest treasure that
has ever been introduced, and
Florida become the grandest stock
raising State OF the Union.

Although the acreage is small this

The Palatka 4 Indian River
Railroad

Editor Of The Florida AgriOSgturtst:
AT last it would seem that the
right move had been made to bring
our lost brethren OF the Indian River
country into communication with
civilization. 1t was my good fortune
to be present at the organization of
the Palatka & Indian River Com
pany in Volusia a few days since,
aud | firmly believe that the St.
Johns and Indian Rivers will at no
distant day cross hands over the
iron horse of the railroad. Our hard
working Senator, Hon. Charles De-
lano, who obtained this valuable
franchise for the Fruitland, Orange
Ridge and Indian River orange
growers, received the well deserved
compliment OF the presidency of the
road. He is perfectly sanguine of
the success Of this enterprise. He
says he obtained this charter, giving
10000 acres OF land per mile for road
built, 5000 OF this floats, tor the PEG
pie from Palatka to Indian River,
and that no ring or clique OF specula-
tors shall steal 1t. He asserts that
SO far as lies in his power the road
shall be honestly built, or the land
revert to the state. The directors
so far as met them seem to be of
one mind on this point. They in
formed me that the viewers would
go at once upon the line, lead by
their president who is without doubt
the finest engineer III the State.
They start in few days from
Palatka, and the compass and chain
will follow Immediately after his
notes OF the line ere collated. | am
credibly informed that considera-
BILE amount of stock was at once
taken, but only as yet by incorpora-
tors and directors. I parted from
these gentlemen feeling that they
meant business and that the day was
not lar distant when the neigh of the
iron horse would awaken the echoes
OF the old orange ridge. SETTLER.

Our Fodder Plants.

We publish on another page an
article on Alfalfa, taken from the
Florida Union. We have no conf
dence in that fodder plant tor Florida
having repeatedly distributed seeds
10 parties In different parts of the
STATE, none OF whom have reported
fayorably Of it. 1t has been found
impossible to grow 1t to profit In
oshcr States of the Union. The set
tlels arounds MS have found Guinea
and Para grasses to be those that
supply all their wants and are easily
cultivated. AS to the Para grass it
has succeeded III Louisiana from some
plants SEM thero by ms, aud Col. d.
J. Williams, OF Versailles, Kentucky,
informs us, that reading an account
OF that grass in the FLORIDA AGRI-
CULTURl ST procured some cuttings
from Mr. A. Bldwdll and sent them
to the manager OF his place in Texas
who gives favorable report of it.
Both the Guinea and Para grasses are
so easily established and yield such
heavy returns OF good nourisaing
fodder that, If proper attention was
paid to them, there would be no
necessity to bring bundle of hay
into the State. We are pleased to
see that they are increasing in favor
and hope before many years have
passed away to see stock raised here
on large scale on different principle
hitherto pursued. However there is
nothing like trying and We would be
pleased to see Alfalfa succeed. On

A few days since 1 he'd the pleas
ure Of visiting Orange Mills and Fed
eral Point. My object was to see
the condition of both places after the
severe ordeal they have passed
through, the coolest winter for years.
l stopped with Colonel f. L. Dancy,
so well known for his hospitality,
and once more enjoyed the hearty
welcome he has so often given me
at his beautiful home. The Colonel
is one OF the oldest settlers on the
St. Johns. His experience as an
orange grower is extensive and he
freely imparts 1t to all interested.
His grove is looking finely, and judg,
ing from the quantity of blooms on
the trees the yield this season will be
the largest he has ever had. Arriv-
ing at his place Monday at noon /
remained until the next morning and
took the mail boat for Federal Point
where | had the pleasure OF meeting
Messrs. Tenney 81 Folsom, of whose
kindness cannot say too much in
praise. Those gentlemen, soon after
the war ceased, purchased 1000
acres at the Point, and by their un.
firing efforts have not only made tor
themselves beautiful homes aud val
liable groves, but sold 600 acres to
actual settlers in small lots which are
now bearing groves and coming into
bearing. The place is laid out for
town, has several fine stores, and
being the point for shipment of fruit
and vegetables raised in that section
must eventually become an impor-
tant place. In this neighborhood
strawberries are cultivated with
great success. 1t is estimated that
about fifteen acres under cultivation
this season, the yield being about
1000 quarts per IRE. The highest
price obtained in New )rk, this
season was $500 per quart, TREY are
now getting $1.00. The average are
large and OF fine flavor, and plants
very full In my round l visited

belonging to Mr.. Z. Smith. Mr..
Smiths land is well underdrained,
and the good effect shows plainly
on the trees. Mr.. Smith cultivaLes
rice between the trees, and last sea,
son the yield was forty bushels per
acre. The rice is worth $1.25 per
bushel, and the straw makes excel
lent mulch for the trees. AS ! have
