Meeting held January goth at the
residence of DIR. j. nj. Hawks. The
Doctors grounds are looking ex.
ceedingly we'll. Hill Avenue has
been extended SO that it is third Of
. mile in length, making a very
beautiful view from the house. AS
we walked along Forest Road we
saw beans, sweet and field corn just
coming up. Every thing presents
very thrifty appearance.
The dinner table being upon the
piazza the view OF the beautiful Hills.

while the bountiful repast was par
taken Of
After the meeting had been called
to order by the president, and all
business attended to, Mr.. Hart made
few remarks upon bee keeping,
He thinks the production Of honey
has been mach neglected heretofore.
AS returns from the honey crop are
so much quicker than from the or,
ange, he thinks it will be a paying
business till the orange tree come in
to bearing. Some of the largest
aparies realize $4,000 year from
their honey. Some produce seventy
five tons It year. II the honey busi-
ness were as well developed as the
orange the profits would be much
greater and the orange would be only
secondary crop. The use OF comb
foundation is great help to the
bees as to make one pound of wax it
takes from twenty to twenty-six
pounds Of honey. Mr., Rolte stated
that Mr.. Il. S. Sheldon showed him a
frame of comb foundation the, bees
had perfected and one-third filed
with honey in twenty four hours.
DR.. Hawks said he remembered
fifteen years ago when Mr.. Lewis
brought his first swarm OF bees from
the woods which swarms was the
beginning of bee keeping in this Sec
| ton.
Mr.. M. Lewis and DR.. Hawks were
chosen delegates from the society to
the Orange County Fair.
The meeting then adjourned till
the third Thursday in February.

ter new insect found by Mr.. Geno-

Botanical Reserves-what they
should accomplish.-The so-called
Botanical Reserves" came under
my notice at each OF the coast settle
ments. AS aids 10 the development
and utilisation Of the resources of
the soil, for purposes OF systematic
experiment, and as a means of tech
nical instruction, as well as of econo-
mic illustration, these reserves
shoald play an important cart % the
progress of a yoang country. 1
doubt, however, if they will fulfill
these purposes effectively, unless
kept under the direct control of the
Government. The soil of nearly'all
of the reserves in question is indiffer-
ent, nor, as a rule, have the selee-
tions been otherwise well made. The
management is variously vested, and
the funds available tor Improvement
are in each case small. Beyond iene-
ing,-and this has mot even been
done in all cases-little, with one ex.
ception, has been accomplished; and
even this little affords evidences of
want of skill, both III control and ex-
ecution. By recent legislation, it is
possible that these areas will pass
under different management, and out
OF this may come more satisfactory
results but at present the prospect
held out OF the reserves in question
serving any other end than that of
the merest places OF recreation, is
small indeed. Even towards attain
ing this end the funds available can
not do much, fact which makes the
necessity still greater for skill and
method in their management.
Suggestions for Tropical Nursery.
The development OF the full capa.
bllltles OF the soil and climate of the
coast OF Northern Queensland would
be much assisted by the establish
ment OF small nursery, tor the pro-
pagatlon and as center for the dis.
trlbution, ofeconomic tropical plants,
Brisbane is too tar south to do this
work with thorough effect, as many
OF the plants in question have to be
housed in winter, and much time is
wasted in the process of hardening
off, before they are fit to be sent out
In order to prevent the possibility O.
such az establishment being diverted
into an ornamental garden, the ares
might be restricted to very few
acres, and the selection made from
considerations of soil aud aspect only

The State Fair.

We were sorry TO see at the late
State Fair at Jacksonville, such a
poor display of the resources of the
State. With the exception of most
creditable exhibit OF vegetables from
Orange county, and oranges from
Putnam, Marion, and Sumter counties
there was nothing worthy of men
ton. The building was compare
lively empty; not even flower of
any kind was exhibited aud yet we
call ours the Land of Flowers" The
late cold weather in Duval county
had some effect it is true, but the
chief fault lay with our people who
are negligent of their own interests.
Strangers do not go to our fairs to
see exhibits OF groceries and shop
goods, they can see all those in the
stores. Nor does horse racing and
military displays draw them there,
they have. better at home. They go
to see what Florida can produce and
gather from what they behold, infor-
nation that may induce them to be-
come citizens of the State. Now
there is to be fair in Orange county
soon, and as that county is called
the "Banner County" of the State.
we expect to see something worthy
of its pretensions. They assert that
there has been no cold weather there
to injure anything; then, show by
your exhibit that you are correct
Put all local jealouses aside and work
