The Difference in Girls.

The difference in girls-An old man got
into street car with his umbrella as wet as
il is possible for an umbrella TO be. The
seats were all full, and he closed his UNI
brelia and put the point down on the floor
as be supposed, but in fact he put il right
into the low shoe of one of these sweet.
modest girls, right on to her stocking. and
the dirty water more than poured down
into the shoe. At first she looked as though
she would move her foot, and call his at
tention to what he was doing but she
seemed TO relent. and, with a resigned ex-
preston, as though she hoped he was not 60
ing to ride many blocks, or perhaps some
body would get out and give him a seat, she
looked cut of the window 0nce she moved
her head as though she would look down at
her shoe TO see how near full of water il was.
After few minutes she began to shiver,
which was conclusive evidence that the
water was coming up around her instep.
and gradually overlooking the banks.
Finally she became nervous, and when a girl
begins to get nervous something has got to
be done. She blushed and touched him on
the hand that held the umbrella handle
with her little fluttering finger and said,

lite, to do me a favorp why, certainly,

Florida Oranges.
rChioaUO Trihuna

Oranges grown in the sun. All Florida is
a bed of white sani, enriched by phosDhates.
These phosphates are in the shape of de-
cayed animal matter. The sand is speckled
with shells, the occupants of which have
died and gone to enrich the soil. So an
orange grove is set out in a sand bed.
Fifty trees are set to the acre,
which gives each tree about thirty
five feet. Late orange raisers are setting
thirty-five trees TO the acre. The trees
commence to bear when eight years old,
and keeps increasing, so far as any one
knows, forever. The age of an orange tree
is not known. They continue to bear for
no one knows how long. l saw trees
forty years old. They were forty feet
high, eighteen inches through, and
bore 10000 oranges. Colonel Hart. of
Palatka, told me that he had sold 5000 worth
of oranges in one season from one of those
fine old trees. An orange grove has to be
cultivated constantly. 1t is narrowed and
COW peas are sown in the spring.
In the fall the COW peas are
turned under to fertilize the soil. |
believe there are nov orange trees enough in
Florida when fully grown, to supply the
world with oranges. Oranges commence
npening in December, and ripen all along
till March. 1t is a delightful crop for a
farmer to raise, because he has plenty of
time to harvest 1t.
This is the way they harvest oranges: The
oranges are cut off the trees with shears, and
sorted by rolling them down a right angle
triangle open at the bottom. The little ones
go through the opening first, and the very
largest ones roll clear TO the end OF the
trough. Then they are rolled up in paper,
boxed up and sent to New York
freight fifty cents box. A box holds from
100 to $50 oranges. a tree will bear from
200 to 5000 oranges. Trees pay from s. to
500 apiece annually. A tree paying $500 of
course would be a phenomenal tree, very
old and splendidly cared for. Colonel Hart
told me he realized $40 from one tree.
Groves produce from $50 $500 an
acre, according to age and cultivation.
An orange grove of twenty acres will
sell for $40. 0O0 There is much money made
in the cultivation of oranges, but much pa
thence and skill are required. Many North
ern men have failed, because they simply
set out trees and then go away and leave
them. They have TO be constantly attended
to. They are not sure bonanza" and
really only the patient, skillful and pains
taking get rich in their cultivation.

Henry Clay and Mime. De stael.

What the Breed Does.

Herewith are given the results gained by
several of the members of the Kansas and
Iowa WoOlgrOwers' Association. They are
worth the attention of all interested in the
productian of wool. Upon one farm fifty
acres Of sorghum cane-One half cut and the
other half left standing-supported LOCO
sheep during the winter in good condition.
One breeder stated that his stock of full
blood mer;nos averaged twelve pounds OF
unwashed wool per head, and that he could
make a pound of mutton from them as
easily as from any other breed. From an
other soHpee it was learned that a flock of
la pure merinos also averaged twelve
pounds of wool, and that sixty-four
sheep had been fed on two pounds
of hay per head. for twelve days,
and ffty-Six pounds of corn. The Cotswolds
had been known to weigh as high as 400
pounds, but the merinos were the hardest.
The latter were in favor with buyers for the
reason that the pelts pull from two to three
pounds more wool than the croSs-breeds or
common sheep. Another breeder whose
Hook numbered more than 80, all merinos,
fed no grain whatever, and the sheep aver
aged in shearing 10% pounds each. He had
experimental in crossing the Cotswold with
the merino the result being a good sheep,
with an increase of carcass, but less wool on
the average by two pounds. 1t was admit
ted that the common Aocks could be i'm
proved by the use of merino rams, but the
unanimous judgment was that it was more
profitable 10 procure pure-bred stock and
breed from them in preference to the slower
method Ofimproyement by the use of males
alone.

The Oldest Printer.
Philadelphia Typographical Advertise

lPhlladelphla typographical Advertiser.
John c. Clark, probably the Oldest printer
in the world, died in Philadelphia on Satur-
day, April %, in the ninety-ffth year of his
age. He was born in New York in 1877,
and resided there until 1894 when he came
to Philadelphia and entered the printing
office of his stepfather, William Ross, then
printer TO Congress, and located in the old
Loganian Library, on Sixth street, opposite
Independence Square. During his early
years he frequently saw General Washi ng-
ton. He witnessed the ceremonies which
commemorated his death in 1899. His
recollection of early events in Philadelphia
was very vivid.
In 1900 Congress sat in Washington, and
Mr.. Ross, still their printer, took his stepson
with him to that city, having removed his
office there. At the fire which destroyed
the Treasury Department, Mr.. Clark stood
beside the then venerable President, John
Adams, who was standing in line passing
water to extinguish the flames. Returning
to Philadelphia in 1903, he was, two years
later, (being then sixteen years old) appren-
ticed to Robert Carr to learn the printing
business. AT this period, Mr.. Cars office,
though ii contained but four screw presses,
was the largest in the city.
While working as a compositor here Mr..
Clark set up nearly the whole of Wilson :
American Onithology, in great primer
type, making the accents with his penknife
from hair-space, no foundry as vet having
cast any. He also set up from the original
manuscript a volume of Thomas Moore's
poems. the author of them then being in
tins city.
In 1917 Mr.. Clark formed a partenersbip
with his friend, Mathew Raser, under the
firm of Clark & Raser. They printed the
first Sunday school books printed in the
United States, probably the first anywhere.
His wife died about ten years ago. Besides
his two sons ]. Ross and A. Wilson Clark,
three daughters survive him.

Cabbages for Stock.

Nearly 5000 heads of cabbage can be
grown on an acre OF ground, if the plants are
set a YARD each way. The size of the heads
and weightin tons depend on the manure
and method OF cultivation, but as high a
yield as thizty tons to the acre is not uncom-
mon in New England. 1t is claimed by
farmers in that section that an acre of cab
bages will produce more food than any other
crop; that in feeding them to dairy COWS
they do notinjure the quality of the milk
or butter, and that they not only increase
the yield, but furnish green suoculent food
in winter for cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry.
They easily kept during winter
either by burying the heads in the
ground, or by storing them in
trenches with the roots down and
heads up, covering with straw and boards
The latter method is better wheie they are
to be fed eyery day The cutting away Of
the heads leaves the stalks standing, which
sprout IN the spring, to furnish excellent
green's for the table at time when such are
scarce. The disposition to market cabbages
is generally too strong to permit of feeding
them to stock; but if a careful comparison
is made between their market value and the
benefit derived from them in feeding no oh
lection will be made to using them for such
purpose. Cabbages contain fair proper
ton of nitrogeR, and the outer leaves are
more nutritious ahan the heart. No matter
whether they are sold or fed ON the farm
theT are always profitable in favorable sea-

is early in the spring, and many OF our old
orchards, in their rotting limbs and de-
cayed trunks, bear testimony to the mis-
chief done by the ill-timed use of the saw
and axe. Small limbs, an inch In diameter
or less, can be taken off at any time with
comparative safety But the thorough
pruning called for in a long-neglected
orchard is best done in the early summer.
The sap is absorbed by the rapid formation
of wood and leaves the wood laid bare in

Vermont a few years ago originated the
