branches with a fat paint brush.
Mr.. Chas. Benham, of Crescent
City, has wash of his own making
with which he undertakes to clear
any grove of the insects-no cure no
nav. We have tried passing a. flame
of fire through the tree, with success,
net keeping it too long at any place
to burn the tree. In our opinion, the
best and easiest remedy would be a
portable furnace and boiler with
pipe, by which hot steam could be
injected into the tree. Remedies
sufficient, however have been discov-
cred and used with success so that
the "bugbear" that has been held
out against orange growing has no
more terrors for the wise ones.

The Scale Insects.

The crusade now made in Florida
and California. against this pest to
the fruit grower, has so far succeeded
that a number of remedies have been
discovered which render it now i'm
possible, if the least care is taken, for
the insects to inhict the injury that
thew have hitherto done. Among
these remedies are the Carbolated
Phosphate, manufactured and sold
by Gould q Co., OF Jacksonville,
Florida; this has been end orsed by
too many first-class people TO doubt
of it's success. In California a mix
ture of equal parts of castor oil and
kerosene put on the limbs and
trunks of the trees with paint brush
has been found to destroy the insect
at once. Mr.. G. r. Bloomer, a large
orange grower near us, uses the toll
lowing mixture: Five pounds OF
common soap and ten pounds OF sal
soda. mixed in an old kerosene barrel
filed with water. His trees are clean
and healthy. Mr.. A. l. Bidwell, the
nurseryman of Jacksonville, keeps
his trees in fine order, and not an in
sect can be found on his place, by the
use of whale. oil soap. Another gen.
tleman, near Jacksonville, recon-
mends the following which he has
used with great success;
TO tour pounds Of whale,oil soap
dissolved by boiling in one gallon OF
,nater add handful of washing soda
wa half a gallon of kerosene oil. II

bolic acid. Apply to trunk and

Rotation Of Crops.
From the Religious Herald.

From the ReLtglouS Herald.
a correspondent asks US TO ex-
plain the philosophy OF the rotation
of crops. We comply, but must do
SO briefly, both because our space is
small, and further, even full expla-
nation does not demand many words.
Some niue substances make up the
ash of all plants. These are potash,
soda, lime, magn ssia, oxide iron, oxide
manganese sometimes, silica, chloride,
sulphurlc and phvSphoric acids.
Plants obtain these substances ex'
clusively from the soil. But while
all plants take up these substances
from the soil, different plants take
them up in very different proportions.
For instance, all the cereals,as wheat,
rye, oats, take up as much phosphorlc
acid as all the other eight Or nine
substances put together; while pota-
toes, turnips, ETC., demand potash and
soda largely and but little phosphoric
acid. The Chief demand of the
grasses is for limef tobacco, for pot.
ash and lime. Now, the indication is
that those crops should succeed each,
which make demands upon the soil
as unlike as possible. Wheat sue.
ceeds tobacco well, and the grasses
come well after wheat. Tobacco
takes up chiefly lime and potash, aud
but little phosphoric acid, which is
the special demand OF wheat.
Wheat removes but little lime, which
is the special demand OF the grasses.
The worst possible rotation, which
one may frequently see, however, in
Virginia, is wheat, corn, oats. Here
the demand all the time is tor phos.
phoric acid, and the strongest soils
give way under this drastic process.
Tobacco, wheat, clover, and year
OF rest is an excellent rotation. Dur
ing the three years succeeding wheat,
SO little phosphoric acid is taken from
the soil that it is supplied, perhaps
more than supplied, by the constant
disintegration OF mineral masses in
the soil, and OF the underlying rock.
A similar explanation is obviously
applicable to other constituents. By
a judicious system Of rotation, and a
little rest and help, the soil not only
holds its own, but improves as the
years roll by.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1881-06-01
DR.. Seth French.

People are too prone to make
charges against public officers with
out having sufficient grounds tor
doing so. A writer in the Florida
| Union accuses DR.. French of having
made use of his late official position
to induce immigration to Orange
City, his own place of residence.
We can say that this is grossly false.
DR.. French was fearful that such an
accusation would be made against
HIM and was over cautious, so much
so that he had done nothing for the
