IT will be seen by our railroad intelli-
gence that Gen. Baker, railroad commits
sioner has discovered an error, which his
predecessor seems to have overlooked, in
the manner of computing the tax due
from the Minneapolis & st. Louis road.
The result is saving to the state of
over $1,000. This is good beginning
for the new commissioner.

The Minneapolis milers and dealers received
5,26S bushels OF. wheat yesterday and shipped
5,772 bushels 10 other markets.
What is the meaning of this? Why
that Minneapolis would not pay the high
est price for the wheat, and outsiders
came in and bought, right under the
shadow of the mills, 5,772 bushels, and
shipped it elsewhere. And this is the
record every day; about one-tenth of the
wheat that goes into Minneapolis goes
out again. What a blessing it would be
if similar competition existed everywhere.

RATE OF TAXATION.
With reference to the above report,
Commissioner Baker yesterday sent the
ESQ.,, general man ager of the road, call
ing his attention to an error made in the
rate of taxation, as follows:
SIR: This Office has under consideration
YOUR returns of gross earnings for the year end
ing Dec 81, 1881. We note that you rate
the entire line at 2 per cent. This office finds
that the Minneapolis & Duluta portion, and
the Minneapolis & st. Louis, and parts of the
old Minnesota & Western; that thirty miles of
that Joint road was in operation Nov. 1. 1871.
The per cent. would therefore cease Novem-
Der, 1881, and 3 per cent. inure thereafter.
This we believe to be correct, and have SO GER
titled your taxes to the auditor of the state
YOU are paying under your old charter, amend
ed February 4, 1870, and not under the act of
1878. The additional tax would attach to the
whole line. Very respectfully,
j. II. BAKER,
Railroad Commissioner

The floods OF 1874 compelled me once
more to go in search of a new home.
l determined upon remaining in a
Southern State, aud with that deter
mination selected that State about
which knew the least, Florida, and
lett with the intention OF settling on
no land farther north than the 10Th
degree Of latitude. I found no land
in Florida to suit me until reached
this place, which although farther
north than l intended locating, still
the surroundings pleased me, and l
bought tor account of Messrs. Du-
puy, Sampson and myself four sect-
ions Of land, the property on which
We now reside. We all moved in the

"What did your portion of land
cost you?"
"Threethousand three hundred and
thirtythree dollars and thirty-three
cents, of which amount paid half
cash"
"What was your expenses the first
year in orange culture :"
Il spent most OF that year thin
ming out the trees where they were
too thick, budding the wild orange,
clearing and deadening the timber,
building my household that in a weekly
and generally improving the place. l
also planted vegetables for market,
made preserves out OF the wild orr
anges, raised patch of sugar cane,
which supplied me with sugar and
syrup for family use, besides giving
me some for sale, made citric acid out
of sour oranges and did numerous
other things.

mercial stuff, but it argued much
more against the man than it did
against the stuff. When a man takes
hoe and opens a trench around a
tree three feet all around the body,
when the roots pro badly extend six
feet out, and puts in five or more
pounds of strong commercial, what
can he in the light of common sense
expect but to iDjure the roots that it
comes in contact with, especially if q
drouth should follow? Some OF the
stuff contains 240 pounds of potash
per ton; every pounds will give a
pound of potash. Just think of emp
tying half or pound of it in a
trench around a tree, besides the 9th
er ingredients.
The orange tree needs constant
supply of fertility. 1t wants it in
the incest form-that of well-rotted
compost mixed with a little ''stuff, :"
and applied so that the land will be
kept up to a regular degree of fertil-
ity, or rich enough to make Is or 90
bushels of corn anyhow, seems to be
what it likes best. Now when the
grower is able to get up his piles OF
compost mixed with little CONNER
cial, and apply in sufficient quanti-
ties, l can see no objection to clean
culture. That the roots of any tree
or plant will develop faster in loose,
clean soil, often stirred, | don't
think any agriculturist will deny.
Yet all over the country we see trees
that have only partial culture around
the tree with a hoe, while the mid~
dies grow up in weeds. have found
roots 8 feet long on trees set out less
than two years, that have had clean
culture, and s feet long on some
small trees set out last November.

itor of The Florida Agriculturist:

Editor of The Florida AgTiculturiSt:
If any of our growers think that
our pine lands have sufficiency of
phosphate of lime to keep up the de.
mand of the orange for this element
of plant food, they should try some
crop that requires quantity of the
phosphate, and take off the whole
crop year after year, and see how
long the land will stand it. Two or
three good crops of peas, two crops
of sweet potatoes, has been my ex-
perience as to the paying limit to
these crops without the addition of
fertilizers. In a soil that will only
make five to ten bushels of corn, a
farmer would be apt to say that
about all the elements of fertility
were needed. Our soil in the pine
woods is about 80 or 95 per cent. of
sand, balance in black mold. There
may be some shells, but I have never
found them-at least not by the na-
ked eye. The porosity OF the soil
enables the roots of vigorous plant
to extend to a great distance to find
nourishment; but this same quality
causes the land to be that much soon
er exhausted; and being principally
composed OF sand, it has none or lit
tie of the mineral elements of tertil-
ity to undergo change and become
plant food by the action of the sun,
air, rain, &C., and by the decompo-
sition of green crops turned under,
like the fertile clay soil of the States
north of us. especially in the lime.
stone regions. As this removal Of
the crops so soon exhansts sandy
soil. so much sooner must we com-

the station, fronting on the lake, and
