said he had "little faith in such plan
but if some one would make motion
for a committee he would appoint

Thus is was that l had "put my

construction and reconstruction, of
consultation With "old residents" who
knew what the seattle interest"
would "kick againstt." and with busl-

never heard of an objection which I
had not provided for in my original
bill. 1t had been matter of cons
siderable study with me whether the
goods Of merchant or the general
personal property OF a resident should
be taxed for this purpose. And at
one time / had the bill so constructed
as that the taxes should be levied on
land according to its surface and
not according to its value, for l
argued 10 myself and those with
whom consulted that it would be un.
just to tax 81 900 town lot, perhaps
without crops on it, as much as a
forty>acre farm all in crops, but there
was a clause in the Territorial Con-
stitution which compelled taxes to
be levied 0d 0dL0ratna.
1t seems to me that justice requires
that the tax levied for maintenance
should be on value of crops enclosed
and not on idle land.

application Of this law to this State.

gditor of The Florida Agriculturist:

Editor of The Florida Agriculturfst;
No one popularity met with IN
travelling over Florida astonishes the
new conner more than the tact that
she imports so much baled nay
and he queries whether country
driven TO such necessity contains
within her the elements OF success.
T admit that were the State thrown
on her own resources and the income
derived from her throngs OF winter
boarders, and her high priced pro"
ducts, oranges, not to mention other
4ruits' such as the strawberry, from
which considerable revenue is de-
rived, and veg etables; in other words,
if she was cut off from the outside
world aud had to develope from
within. she would have a decidedly
tough time of it. But there Is no
danger of any such reverse. On the
contrary, each year sees these aids to
development increasing faster than
her permanent population, which &C.
CELEBRATES her rate OF development,
and makes it more and more possl|
BILE for poor man to settle here and
work his way to wealth. But let us
return to that bale of hay, ere some
Florida mule comes along and de
yours it.
What l desire 10 demonstrate II

cessity OF importing hay, but does Sc

1t will be noted that the four plants
which we know do remarkably well on
orr sandy pine lands, average higher
than our whole list and that our entire
list averages higher than the list OF
thirty. containing among others tall red

amed Kentucky blue grass is richer

lbout 8 per cent. only, while the latter
exceeds it in albuminoids by eighty
three per cent. -.
And now a few words as to the FEAST
bility of curing forage during the rainy
season. hope every one interested IN
this subject in Florida, has been careful
to read all they could about the new
process of curing hay in the stack. now
receiving marked attention in England.
For fear there may be some who have
not had the opportunity we will, in as
few words as possible, try to describe 1t.
