Bone Dust Drives Away Ground
MOleS.

We copy the following from the
Mississippi Farmer which we believe
to be true, for since applying bone
dust to our grove the moles have
disappeared:
ave have been informed by two
responsible persons that the bone
dust, so common inthis country now,
will drive the little ground mole
away from its haunts They told us
that they had tried it in different
places and that, for them, it had not
yet failed; and they really thought
that it had this effect. We cannot

Mr.. Lewis was asked what success
he had had in raising vegetables III
his hammock he cleared three years
ago.
He said he had raised everything
he had tried to, and if there had
been any transportation he could have
sold each year more than enough TO
pay the cost of clearing. He has
planted melons three years in success

Editor of the Florida AgricuHurtst:
Meeting held at the residence OF
Mr.. 3. Rolte, May 10Th, 1881.
The meeting was called to order
by the President. The society were
very much pleased to see Professor
and Mrs. Fowler, Of Port Orange, at
the meeting. Mr.. Smith read a letter
he received from John Clark, of
Jacksonville, in answer to his inquiry
of the number of oranges which had
been shipped from New Smyrna Tor
the season of 1S80.S1. There have
been shipped 155 barrels, 2,433 boxes
OF oranges; five boxes of lemons !;
and seven boxes OF sour oranges.
Mr.. Fowler said that a man went
from his house North because he
could not raise anything here, while
the very sloop he went on carried
out over 1000 worth OF oranges.
DIR. Hawks would like to know of
Mr.. Fowler the present hopes Of the
Halifax. Mr.. Fowler said they never
were brighter. lie would like to be
able to get away little while to see
how bad the world is outside. He
reads OF floods, Instructions and
other disasters but he don't know
what the bad news is for us here. He
received letter from a man in Kan
sas who wishes to come to Florida,
to which he replied, "What do you
want to come to Florida tor?" The
man answered, I'm the first place we
have no wood to burn, and have 10
burn corn when we can get il. Then
we can't raise anything but once in
three years when everything is SO
abundant we cannot sell it. 1t has

promotion of Mr.. Conger to the

the probable transfer of Mr.. Frye to

OF Governor Foster going to France

One of the most surprising things
about General Garfeld's Cabinet will
be its failure to create surprise.
Both President Grant and President
Hayes gave the country a great sur

much advice rendered to General
Garfield about this man and that man
that there will be no surprise in the
result at all. "Lyianny," as Blue
Jean Williams loved to call his state,
has come to the front, and now John
9. New is recommended for anything
that is to be disposed of in the way
of loose Cabinet position. Senator
Morton had a firm grip upon the
offices at the disposal of the govern
