Our Altamonte Correspondent.

Editor Of The Florida Agriculturtst:
We have just passed through one
OF the dryest seasons that l have seen
here. In some places it was impos-
sible to get stand OF corn and some
farmers in the Apopka country, will
thereby fail to make their corn. 1t
has been a good season for keeping
all crops clear OF grass. The pros~
pect is, that most everyone is short
on potato vines or slips, and that
there will soon Oe great demand
for them, as the rainy season looks
like it has set in in earnest. Having
had some potatoes early in the spring,
l set out the drawers and now have
a good supply of slips.
There was a very small crop of
bloom on the orange this spring, and
the report is, that the crop will be
very short. Some old trees have
bloomed again in May. Young trees
made splendid growth in the spring,
but on account of the dry weather,
they have remained at rest until the
present time; and they now look as
if they would make very heavy
growth. Keeping the ground stirred
10 retain moisture and absorb the fer.
tillzing gases from the atmosphere,
has paid this year in the dark green
healthy appearance of the well
worked groves. Where the weeds
and grasses have been allowed to
grow too iong,the trees have suffered
tor moisture and fertility.
Mulching as mode of cultivation
has been resorted to for year or two
in this section. Grass thereby scat.
tered around the trees during the hot
dry spring months and worked into
the soil when the rains commence, is
benefit but TO put three to six
inches OF grass or and allow 1t to re,

Editor Of The Florida Agy'iculturist:
AS we are about to enter into
another political campaign, which
promises to be lively one, Judging
from the number of candidates now
at work to secure the nomination, /
would suggest to the agriculturists
that we, one and all, lay aside all
party differences and select candidates
who will be subservient to our inter.
est. There are a few things which
are an imperative necessity to our
wellbeiDg. lst. We want a stock
law, if not TO shut up all stock, to
shut up or kill off all hogs now runs
ming at large. End. We want a good
road law; one that will tax the land
tor the support of roads and bridges,
for cur present law is imperative and
unjust. A good road every farmer
wants and must have. 3rd. A State
board of agriculture, such as most, if
not all, other States have, and State
agricultural society, State law REQ.
uiatlng the sale OF fertilizers, and a
State chemist to see that all fertilizers
brought into or sold in the State, are
what they are represented to be;
aud several Others which are of great
Importance 10 the agricuturists.
Now we want no "side walk farmer"
and candidates need not rub hay seed
in their hair, or Zine the granger" to
get the nomination. We want
practical farmer, one who knows our
needs and is not afraid to advocate
them. We want to stop the promis-
cucous setting of fire. No man should
set fire save on his own land. and
should be held personally responsible
Tor all damage arising from the same.
The losses by fire the past year were
more than the value of all stock in
the State at three times It's present
valuation. l wish Col. Dyke of tine
Tallahassee EIOridjon, would exams
Inc the tax books in the comptroller's
office and make u tabular statement
Of the number of hogs, cattle, sheep,
mules and horses, their value and the
amount OF taxes paid on each by
counties, and compare the valuation
with the estimated losses by fires
Such a statement would open the
eyes OF our citizens to the importance

send down here ltrom| the Worth to
make orange groves out of, when the
people have the material all around
them. He says it is unnecessary to
compost good bay muck with any-
thing, and he hauls directly to his
grove and works it in. The analy>
sis of muck generally shows that it is
deficient in phosphoric acid, when it
comes to making grain on the clear
muck, it falls short; while a mixture
of muck and sand, goes far ahead.
Hence, we conclude without any
knowledge of chemistry, that COM
post put up with muck and acid phos.
phate, Is just the thing for our pine
lands. We must keep up the veget
able matter in the soil, and nothing
will do it faster than the hauling in
of muck. Unless we do keep up the
supply of vegetable matter in some
way, in my opinion, we had better
not use any stimulating fertilizers !;
for their use is sure to impoverish
the soil where they are used contln>
uously alone.
Mr.. White, on Indian river,was ex-
perimenting with strawberries this
past tall and winter, and promised to
give us his experience. We should
like to hear from him. My plants
commenced to bear in January, and
have borne we'll up to the present
time | bedded on the weeds and
grass, and put some bone meal and
chicken manure mixed in the bed
after they commenced to grow well.
This has given very satisfactory re-
suits on low ground S.

j solid and seldom found in a pure
state, the purest being the diamond.
The great French chemist, Lavoisier,
contrived to fill large glass vessel,
containing several diamonds, with
pure oxygen and then by means OF
powerful lenses he concentrated the
suns rays upon them and under the
intense heat they were soon COM
sumed. What had become OF the
iewels? Were they destroyed? No!
The carbon OF which they were com
posed had simply united with the OK
ygen and formed carbonic acid, the
same as by the burning OF common
Goals. There had merely been a
transformation of matter. Let us
take another example by which we
will see the manner in which plant
life is sustained. Take bottle OF
water and place in it various leaves
and vegetable substances; then cork
it tightly. Now bore hole through
the cork small enough to admit one
end of tube, curved at both ends,
tightly that there can be no possibil-
ity of a leak. Next bring the other
end of the tube into an open basin
of wafer so that the level OF the
LIQUID will stand about two inches
above the opening of the tube. Now
take another bottle with large
opening, fill it half full of water, then
place the hand tightly over the open.
ing, upset it and bring the opening
directly over the tube under the
water in the basin, remove the hand
letting the tube project into the bot
tie some, then make the whole ap~
paratus stationary. II now this cons
irivance is exposed to sunlight for
while small gas bubbles will soon APP
pear on the leaves and rise through
the connecting tube on the surface OF
the water in the inverted bottle.
After considerable quantity OF gas
has been accumulated remove the
bottle, upset 1t quickly and immedi-
ately insert glowing stick OF wood,
and it will instantly ignite into a
bright flame, which proves con>
clusively that the gas was nothing but
oxygen, pure oxygen being highly
favorable to combustion.
From this experiment we learn that
green vegetation absorbs carbopic
acid, is in part composed of carbon
and under the influence OF the suns
rays exhales and breathes out oxygen,
one OF the principal constituents of
the atmosphere, and water being also

On motion Of VIM Jackson, is was ordered
that If the citizens interested would enter into
bonds to keep the bridge over Strickland Bay
in good repaic fol period of five years and
open the reads to and from it as well as

ment. On the northwest it touches
the Indian Pass settlement, (quite
nice and friendly country on the
southwest it is surrounded by the
bay, and on the east by big bayou.
After the bay, westward and south~
ward, comes chain of keys [lslands),
then the Gulf. There are two inlets
from the Gulf, the Johns Pass with
its two arms, and further south the
Boccaciega Pass. Johns Pass is one
OF the very few good passes on the
whole western coast of our State.
The channel over the bar at it's en-
trance is from nine to nine and
half feet deep in low tide, and only
in winter when very heavy North
erner blows down, is it foot or two
shallower. The bay is long, wide,
and from ten to seventeen feet deep.
The pass has been surveyed, and
when it is dredged, we shall have a
number one harbor for all but the
very large sea vessels. Sooner or
later we are bound to have railroad
terminus too, and then there will be
city here quite as much heard from
as Cedar Keys, Tampa, Manatee etc.
Our climate is fine and healthy,
and no doctor need come here, tor
starvation would stare into his face.
Our land consists of good pine
soil and we raise all semi-tropical
and even some tropical plants with
success. The orange and lemon
thrive we'll here, and we have some
very nice young groves. Year be-
fore last and last year, we had the
vegetable fever and although we did
not make what we expected, yet we
know now that there is money in to-
matoes, cucumbers and egg-plants,
and shall never cease to raise them.
! am quite anxious to see how we
will go on and succeed next year for
there is not one of us who has not the
means in his pocket now to fight

Our settlement is improving and
on the go>ahead we have posts

HuMoR N nln FAMny.-Good hu'
NOR Is reckoncd most valuable aid to
happy home life, An equally good
and useful faculty Is the sense OF humor
or the capacity to have a little fun
along with tho humdrum cares or work
of life. We all know how II brightens
up life generally to have lively, witty
companion who sees tho ridiculous
points of things aud who can turn an
annoyance into laughter. II does u
great deal better to laugh over some
domestic mishaps than to cry or scold
over them, Many homes and lives are
dull because they are allowed to be-
come too deeply impressed with sense
Of the cares and responsibilities OF lite
to recognize It's bright, especially its
mhthlnl side. Into such u household,
good, but dull, the advent OF q witty
humorous friend is like sunshine on u
rainy day. While it is oppressive to
hear persons constantly striving to say
witty or funny things, it is comfortable,
seeing what q brightcncr little fun is,
to make an effort to have some at
home. II is well to turn of IN impa.
ticnt question sometimes, and to regard
it from n humorous point Of view instead
OF becoming irritatcd about it. Laugh
ter is better than tears. Let us have u
little more of il at home.
