Work for the MOnth-June.

Last month commenced with in>
Permitting showers, and closed in
similar manner the interval being
warm, clear, and on the whole favor-
able to vegetation. So much SO, that
the apparent results are being reals
lied in the greater abundance of vege-
tables, and brighter hopes for what is
yet to mature. The watermelon
season had fairly commenced in May,
and will be fully established this
month. Cucumbers, snap beans, egg.
plants, potatoes, bush squash, COW
peas, and corn, are all common with
those who have attended to their
culture, and are on sale at the stores
all over the county.
1t is to be expected that great
deal of rain will fall during the month,
with overcast and cloudy days accom-
panning, and alternating with show
ers be of some duration. To those
who are behind, have neglected, or
been prevented in setting out trees,
advantage OF this occurrence should
be taken, and strenuous endeavors
made to accomplish the work yet I'M
done, at the first opportunity. The

and utilize every advantage offered
to HIM. AS to sowing seeds this

Success with Poultry,
Of The Florida Agriculturist:

Editor Of The Florida Agriculturist:
You asked me to write my expe-
rience in poultry since coming to
Florida. A year last July l pur>
chased in Jacksonville 10 hens and
rooster, at forty cents each, ($4.4O.)
While marking the coop for it's des-
tlnation, gentleman remarked that
hens would not do well in Florida,
and that as soon as l was keeping
house, to kill them would be the pro.
per thing. The gentleman was in
error. obtained two pullets and
rooster of the white Leghorn variety
making a total outlay OF about
$500. The result is fifty bead of
fowls on hand, ten sold at IS cents
each, twelve eaten, one died, ninety
dozen eggs sold at an average of 80
cents per dozen. The outlay has
been two dollars for corn. Do your
own figuring.
The fowls are taken care of by a
eight>year old girl, the only care be-
ing to shut the hen house at night,
open it in the morning and occasion
ally set hen. They live on the re,
fuse from the table, Bermuda grass,
crab grass, and insects for which
they search tar and wide. No disease
has yet made its appearance. The
mites drove one setting hen from her
nest, but one application of strong
lime water drove the mites from the
nest. 1t i feed the hens daily they
wait around in the shade tor their rat
ions, they are not led they roam and
get food and exercise.
The LeghornS suit me, but the larg-
er. varieties do we'll if not ted too

elapse before the few seedlings scat
tered around can replace the grand eff
fects, that the groups that once adorn-
ed the river, made. So irresistible
display of tropical scenery now
about to be obliterated is sad to com
template. Some idea of the magni-
tude of this destruction may be gain
ed from the fact that the ill>fated
steamer getty of Sanford" was burn
ed with 1900 of these buds on board
denotingas manytrees taken from the
the river. There is no reason other
than the convenience OF being cons
tiguous to the river, why the authors
of these nefarious practices, should
not take to the swamps further back
for their supply, provided they do
not trespass on another's land. And
it is some consolation to know that
several of our river steamers wisely
refuse to carry these buds. A child
might carry all the product of one
mighty tree, giant could not grap~
pie uuaided with what remains or is
destroyed to obtain it. Our beauti~
full views on the reaches of our noble
river must speedily vanish if this con

possible development of the vegetable
resources OF Florida, but making away
piece-meal and by wholesale with
trees whose attractiveness TO all good
residents and visitors, is not to be
measured by the necessities OF few
interested parties. whose gains are
immeasureably disproportlonate to
any good they'd to the State at large.
If means can be employed to use pal

produces it, there is room for good
trade. Leaves can be cut without de-
priving the tree OF producing more,

The AnglO-Freilch Tunnel.

A good deal OF ridicule has been
cast on the objection Of certain prom
inent men in England, to fstop the
making of a tunnel to- connect Eng~
land with France, but the subject is
one of serious consideration, and not
so void OF reason. There has been
many time in English History,
when civil wars or connections have
arisen, that had one party held power
over such an easy access to the king
dom, French forces would have been
admitted, to the ruin of the whole
nation, and most likely its conquest.
History repeats itself, and there is no
knowing when party faction, losing
all control of patriotism, may not
again lead the nation into a state OF
civil war. Had anyone said few
years before our civil war arose, that
such thing would happen, he would
have been laughed down-but it did
come. In travelling in steamer on
Lake Ontario few years before, we
did hear such a declaration, and it
created such a storm of Indignation,
that the person uttering it was nearly
mobbed.
