The Mango in Jamaica.

Plants of the mango have been
raised from seed in this State, as we
are aware, but we do not know what
has been done or undone when the
plants were exposed to outdoor con-
ditions in this State. Will some
reader tell us The spread OF the
mango as described by a writer in
the Co'Jectjoner's Journal, is a mat
ter of interest to those not previously
informed. 1t seems that in 1852
specimens of the cinnamon, jack-trult
and mango were sent TO the Botanic
Garden of thesisland. There the
cinnamon was carefully tostered, but
proved to he difficult OF culture In
the island, while the mango which
was neglected became in eleven years
as common as the orange, spreading
over low lands and mountains, from
the sea level to 5000 feet elevation.
On the abolition of slavery, immense
tracts Of land, especially coffee plan
tations, relapsed into state OF ma
ture. The mango, being tavorite
fruit with the blacks, its stones were
flung everywhere, giving rise to
groves along the roadsides and along
the settlements, and the fruits OF
these again rolling down the hill gave
rise 10 forests in the valleys, The
effect of this spread of the mango
has been to cover hundreds OF thous-
ands of acres, and to ameliorate the
climate of what were dry and barren
districts by producing moisture and
shade, and by retaining the rain
falls that had previously evaporated
all this, besides atfordlng food for
several months in the year to both
negroes and horses.

is left to admit horse and wagon or
slide to pass to take the beans when
gathered. Hot water below the boil
ing point should be poured over the
seed, and they should remain in
this water twenty-tour hours before
being planted One application is
sufficient. Unless so treated the
seed are three or TOUR weeks in ger
minating, and this may IN an unpro-
pitious season be serious drawback.
Some plant in each hill one halt
of those seed which have had not
water poured on them, aud one-halt
those which have not, so thai If a
very late frost or cutworrnS destroy
the first that came up, a stand may
be had from the others, which will
come up week OF two later. Good,
sound, plump seed shoultt be selected
Tor planting Eight or ten seeds
should be dropped in each hill. But
one, or az most two, plants are leit
in each hill. Seed should be planted
as soon as all danger OF frost is over,
as the plant when young is tender as
the common bean. The cutworm Is
the great enemy OF the plants. This
liability 10 the attack OF the cutworm
is why the precaution should be ta>
ken to plant two sorts OF seed, the
soaked and the dry. Replanting can
be done, as the South has long sea-
son, but as the seed ri peu until killed
by heavy frosts, and the later the
crop starts the shorter it is. A half
bushel OF seed will plart eight or
ten ares. The yield, of course, will
depend upon the seasons, culture be-
slowed on crop, time planted, care
exercised in gathering and ripening
the seed. From fifteen TO twenty
five bushels is an average yield at the
West per acre. 1t will there pay
better than corn, potatoes, wheat,
barley, oats, or almost any other
arm produce. One important fact
II connection with the culture of
he castor bean is that it is one OF the
most fertilizing crops raised. In this
it eurpasses even clover.
Many farmers say for tertilizing pur-
poses a crop raised upon land is
worth several dollars per acre to the
and, on account OF the additional
erlility gained by it.

Brown Legllorn Fowls.

This variety of Leghorns still hold
their popularity, practically they may
be no better than the White and
other varieties, but many like their
fancy color. Many consider them
more hardy. In this respect we
know no difference, as all Leghorns
are hardy. We notice the Brown
Leghorns have been improved for the
past five years IN lobes and combs.
Good lobes, free from red partlcu-
larly in the cockerels were rarely seen,
but now it is the reverse and we
rarely see tinged lobes, and the combs
are nearly perfect, or many OF them
are. This, variety excels for egg
producing, are splendid non'sitters,
good foragers, early maturing, and
nice looking fowls anywhere. Are
well adapted to the town, where their
color will not show dirt, as well as
the country. They will bear con-
finement as well as any other variety.
Any one who keeps and gives them
the care fowls should have will not
want for eggs "all the year round.
We often wonder that the people OF
the South do not seek and keep the
more than they do. These
birds with their large wattles and
combs are in their glory in the sunny

Broad Wheels for Farm Wagons.

From the american AgricultM1St.
The surface over which loads are
drawn upon the farm is soft, as rule,
and a wheel with broad tire will
not sink so lar as a narrow one. A
load OF hay or manure can be drawn
across plowed or other mellow
ground, upon a wagon which has
tires four inches wide, when it would
be impossible TO do SO with, the old
narrow " heels, often less than Two
inches wide. The usually heavy,
muddy, country roads OF early spring,
are much more passable with the
wide wheels than with the narrow
ones; ana even upon smooth, hard
roads the difference III the draft Is so
slight as to be no argument against
the use OF wide Tires. Most OF the
teaming apon the farm Is upon soft
ground, and the light draft OF broad.

New Product for the South.
From the Sltmmit Times.

From the Summit Times.
Col. B. NJ. billiard, well known
here, of the Mobile 81 Ohio Railroad,
is creating a great deal OF interest
along the lire OF his road in the
raising of castor beans. The mana.
gers of the oil mill at Columbus are
interesting themselves in the same
movement. Until recently the chief
use of the castor oil was tor medlc
nal purposes, but its use is multiplying
and it is now used extensively for
large classes of machinery, tor mixing
with other oils, for burning purposes,
as an excellent oil tor the HAIR, and
in mixing with paints AT the West
any soil that will produce wheat and
corn is recommended for the castor
bean. Considerable stress is laid on
the soil being dry and putting the
land in good condltlon-lt is SAID, in
as good condition as tor other crops.
This means more than the usual way
in the South OF treating land put in
corn. No man should put in the
castor bean without blowing his
land, and If he harrows ii well ali
the better.
After good preparation Of the
soil the ground Is laiA oft live or six

Orange Culture as a.PrOfit.

vi = eo
HW. c.. in Florida Dispatch.
The principle varieties of the or
ange, as catalogued in foreign mark
cts, is as follows:
The China orange is well known.
1t has a round, smooth, rather flat
tened fruit, and thin golden rind.
The orange Of Nice is large, thick
skinned, rough, round and dark vel
low. 1t is not great tavorlte with
Americans, but Europeans consider
it one OF the finest of oranges. st.
Michael's orange is small, round, pale
yellow, and seedless fruit-the re-
suit of long grating, which has de-
stroyed its seed vessels in the perfect
ING OF fruit. 1t has thin rind and
extremely sweet pulp. Next comes
an orange always in demand among
the fruiters of Paris, and said to be
the apple of gold that tempted Eve
and lost US Paradise. They call it
the Forbidden Fruit. 1t has a yellow,
soft, and tieshy rind, OF which confec-
TONERS are fond. 1t is sub-acid, and
has pleasant tasted pulp. The
Blood orange a snowy fruit, known
in America by other names, and
makes fine appearance in contrast
with it's dark, glossy leaves. The
external fruit is round, rough, red
dish yellow in color. The pull p is IT.
regular and notified with crimson.
The Mandarin orange has been much
spoken OF in the Dispatch. The true
species has a flattened, rough, deep |
orange colored fruit and thin rind. A
characteristic is, the ease, almost
spontaneousness, with which this rind
separates from it's pulp. Its name is
derived from the fact that it is the
tavorite fruit in China Tor presenting
to high officers Of State. 1t is truly
the Mandarin's tavorite. The fruit is
flattened, ribbed in very marked de-
gree, and of deep yellow color. It
is esteemed as a hot house curiosity
in Europe and i'll America. The Pear,
shaped orange is a rare and curious
fruit. In 1859 | did not find it in
such horticultural gardens as Wash.
ington City then had, and when l
visited the Royal Orangeries of Kew,
near LONDON, in 1872 l did not see
it. 1t vas, however, in the Paris
Garden of Plants. 1t has round and |
rather flattened fruit, more or less
adapted to it's name, ana has a thin
golden rind. The fingered orange is
also mainly curiosity. Its fruit is
ovate, with an occasional lobe horn,
from the monstrous growth OF a
carpet. The Egg orange of Malta
was, and probably still is, rare in
America. Some good fruit culturists
have never seen the tree. The shape
is more curious than the fruit is valu.
able, in a commercial sense. The
Seville orange is the Citrus Bigor0.
di0 RiSso of naturalists. 1t is a
smaller tree than the sweet orange.
It's branches are spiny, and it has ell
liptical acute leaves. Its patioles are
winged, and the flowers are pure
snow white. The fruit is roundish,
smooth or wrinkled, and of deep
yellowsh color. The oil cysts or the
rind are concave. 1t is from this
species that the orange flower water
OF commerce is obtained. More yalu.
able to the American grower, is the
fact that its bitter principle is general
throughout the tree, and that it is
avoided and largely free from the
insects that prey upon the sweet
stock varieties.

Gum Disease ON Oranges.

From the RirerSide Press.
Arson Van Leuven San Bernar>
dino Valley, has lost number OF his
best orange trees from the gum dis
ease. Some Of his trees have been
affected more or less tor the past two
years, and he has recently dug up
and thrown away trees nineteen years
old. He has been studying tor the
cause and expressed his Willingness
to pay 500 Tor remedy. In talking
with a Riverside fruit.grower, he at
tributes the disease to TOO much
flooding, and not sufficient cultivation
or drainage. A lew OF his trees were
affected in the same manner and he
resorted to drainage and thoroug b
and frequent working of the soil
close to the trees. He lost one tree,
the other healed, and he has expert
