Flint Wheat.

In western Kansas we grow va

name, which was hardy-being just
about rust proof-and very product

more than other wheats. So En about
the middle of March it would ripen
in about four months.
From what / can learn of the cli~
mate in the northern part OF Florida,
where wheat, rye and oats are not at
all uncommon, [ judge that the tem>
perature from January lst to May
lst resembles that in Kansas from
March 18th to July 18th.
This wheat is exceedingly hard
So very hard is it that the millers re
fused to grind it dry on their flower
burrs, unless it had been dampened
one day previously with one quart OF
water per bushel, but they grind it
into "graham" flour on the corn
burrs. When ground for "graham"
we never dampened it, and thus the
bran was cut very hne, and 1t made
the best whole wheat flour | ever
used.

Profits OF Lime Culture.

Tdr0reS Herald.
Mr.. Augustus Gottsche, who lives
about four miles north east of Tava-
res, on the high pine lands of West
Orange, has been successful in the
cultivation of lines beyond that OF
many people who have tried it. Five
years ago he commenced by plant
ing the seed, aud he now has thirteen
bearing trees, twelve seedlings and
one budded tree. From these trees
he has sold this year fruit to the val.
ue of s104,32 and there are yet to
hear from two boxes shipped within
the past week. He has used quaint.
ties of lines in his family, and has
given away great many to his friends
and neighbors, and there is also yet
upon the trees a considerable quantity
of fruit. His trees are in perfectly
l-healthy condition and are now grows

ed that in some localities the trees
have been blightei to degree that
has made it necessary to cut many of
them down to the ground. Whether
the disease which has affected the
trees which Is called slime blight"
is owing to local causes or TO mode
of cultivation we do not know, but it
is certainly true that in this section
of the county lime trees are healthy,
vigorous ana bear large crops.
Mr.. Gottesche informs US that so
far as his observation goes, none OF
his neighbors have any diseased lime
trees, aud the cultivation of the fruit
will be more largely engaged in the
future than ever before. His trees
are planted between his orange trees
and have received the same attention
as bestowed upon them. He sent
the larger portion of his crop to M.
E. Bean, OF Jacksonville, who has in
every instance made prompt and sat
isfacIory returns for the fruit.

have lately been making some
Investigations in climatology. 1t is
curious to observe how widely differ.
ent are the climates OF localities only
a few miles apart.
On the west side of the State Of
Michigan, (the eastern shore OF Lake
Michigan,) the peach, pear, grape
and strawberry thrive luxuriantly,
while on the west shore OF the Lake
none of these fruits will grow
On the southern shore of Lake Erie
these same fruits grow to perfection,
while on the northern shores they
cannot be grown.
On Vancouver's Island the winter
climate is mild and moist. Potatoes
are planted in January, and grow
two crops in a year. Spring wheat
is sown In February, grows and rl-
pens early. This is doubtless owing
10 the Pacific " arm Stream, which
debouches on that Island, much as
the Gulf Stream affects the coast of
Ireland.
But the strangest anomoly is the
little island of Pelee, a notice OF
which | cut from the Inter Ocean,
with remarks OF its editor:
"Pelee Island, Lake Erie, the
southernmoet land in Canada, pos
sesses a climate which produces su-
perior wine, sugar cane, peanuts,
sweet potatoes, all small fruits, figs,
almonds, and cotton. The last pro-
duct, incredible as it may seem, has
been raised for several seasons. The
winters are very mild, the temperae
ture averaging about sixty degrees.
| Nobody has, as yet, built a hotel
there" This statement from the
Courier Journal is going the rounds
of the press. The fact is there is
good hotel on Pelee Island, with am
pie accommodations for twenty five
guests. 1t is the finest bass fishing
ground in the United States, and the
writer has for many years enjoyed
the pule air, fine grapes, and great
wood fires of the old~tashioned hote
kept by DR.. F. B. Mccormick, a
, Pelee."
There are many other similar an
omolies IN climate, but these instan'
ces will 40 at present. We in thu

mometer with much interest, especi
ally in winter. You should give tina

er half hardy crops but what | espec>
tally claim for il is that it is the place
for the family garden. 1t is subject
to frost from the lat Of December un
til the latter part of February, and l
have seen beans injured in March in
one spring, and the next winter l
planted cucnmbers in December that
were never injured. In this cool
moist and fertile soil the cabbage and
cauliflower find their home From
5000 to 5000 plants cap be grown to
the acre.
Another great advantage in the
possession of muck is, that one has
always at hand a source of fertilizer
tor his orange grove. The muck
from the bitches can be rolled out
TO pine land and composted with
stable manure, lime orpotash, or used
as base for the complete orange
tree fertilizer" All the refuse from
the garden, such as beans and pota
toe vines, cabbage leaves, ETC., can be
put around the grove trees-bedded

Our AItamonte Correspondent.
Editor of The Florida AgricmHurist:


One fthe queries of the UP Coun-
try people" when they arrive here. is
"what do you do tor vegetables as
we see so few gardens?" This is
hard for good many to answer
unless they say we have sweet po>
tatoes in winter and cow-peas In
summer and fall. That it is possible
to ootain a fair supply of vegetables,
even on pine lands, we all admit.
but it is hard to learn just how to
do il. This has kept many persons
from trying after few failures, when
they conclude that it is cheaper to
buy from those who have suitable
lands and know how, or buy canned
goods from the north. AS water and
fertility are positively necessary In
this climate, in our search for a gar
den spot, we Gravitate naturally to-
wards the low grounds, and choose
a piece of low hammock or muck
bed; the latter being the best if 1T
can be ditched. A halt acre will
give with good culture an abundant
supply for a family the whole year
round. The ditch should be about
two feet deep and about forty feet
apart. 1t is a small job to burn off
the timber and brush. 1t will not
get in good condition until the Sec
ond wear when it will be reduced 10
fine black mould and plants will
begin to grow luxuriantly, for when
it is first cleared it is sour and some
plants will not grow on it; but an
application Of fertilizer will help that
wonderfully as found this summer.

Profits of Guaya Jelly.

Leesb1T9 ReacS.
The following calculation, which
we got from Captain M. Haynes, will
show to our fruit growers what they
can make by manufacturing guava
jelly, instead of shipping their fruit:
1 bushel guavas, say at $50
80 pounds sugar at l22c. 3.75
dozen jelly glasses 800
Total $40 %
This will make seven dozen glasses
of jelly worth $500 per dozen which
makes $21; difference in favor of the
manufacturer $10.75.
Captain Haynes says that by MAXI
ing Jelly OF his fruits he clears $50
per barrel more than by shipping it
to Jacksonville at So per bushel.

mules and horses can be both corned
and toddered on them, and do regu>
lar services. Mules will make the
crop on them without one grain of
corn or blade of "long forage" of any
sort. We feel we'll convinced that
no grain crop can be made to pay
half the profits of the "corn field pea"
in this country. AS hog feed the
seeds are next to the pinder and chu
fas. And iu butter and milk can be
made to pay enormously, we have no
doubt. But in their cultivation, as
this is the main feature OF our article,
they should be cultivated lightly
with sweeps, cultivators and hoes,
until near the time of blooming, if
the soil is foul, otherwise but little
or no cultivation is neediul. Did
time and space justify in writing and
publishing items OF our experience
for more than twenty years past,
and the experience OF others longer
in the State than we have been, they
would strongly corroborate our
views. We know one old farmer
who is so strongly attached to his
time OF spring planting that the lst
day of March-no dodging-always
finds him sowing his peas. And We
don't know but that be is supersti-
tious enough on the subject to believe
that that day in the year is the charm
tor pea planting. The thermometer
stands TO day at 68, and we think it
about time to sow cassaya seed. AT
it my liveliest, October 5, 1882.

Let the soil be well broken 10 at

rowed, and if the nd be new, they
may be broadcastad as they will need
but little cnltivatibn; butif old it is
best to plant inrows two or three
feet apart, in hilisk lone loot and half
apart in the drill; twenty seeds, more
or less, in each hill, unless the seed be
extra good. A scooter plow may be
used to best advantage 10 laying off
rows and IN covering seeds, two fur.
rows being thrown on the seeds.
But at what seasons do you think
best to plant? says one. To make
sure of fruit we are very careful to
plant twice in the year. Our spring
planting we always do from the lst
to the 10th of March, and that for
fall gathering from the middle of
July TO the middle Of August. Plant
ing in the Interval often yields crop
of vines but not much fruit. And il
they fruit well IN June, July and
August, the wet soon rots them, the
weather is too hot To pick them and
the vines cannot be harvested, as
they require more sunshine to cure
them than they will often get at that
season. But how if you wish to plow
in the vines ? Well, we do not ad-
wise plowing in vines ottener than
twice a year, and the March crop
will do best for that purpose about
the last of April, or, at Curthest, by
the middle OF May, which is as late
as we think land should be turned
M in hot weather, unless some pro>
duction springs Immediately to shade
| it. And if the vines are to be har-
vested for forage after picking seed
! and for table use, the month OF May
usually affords sufficient sunshine to
cure and save them. We invariably
null them up and throw them on the
ground in small heaps to cure. The
roots, we find, are very sweet, and
mules and other stock are very fond
of them and will often chew them of
and leave the stem alone But if the
vines are to be turned in in the tal
season, how then ? Well, we usual,
pick the seeds for planting stock an(

generally being nice and dry-anC
