confined. Bv having the feedlng-yard
quite near the fields where the fodder Is
raised the labor of moving may be made
small. A sled or low wagon is recon-
mended for moving the green fodder
from the field to the yard. The crops
recommended for soiling hogs are red
clover, orchard and other tender grasses,
sweet corn, sugar-cane, rye, and peas.
Location and climate will determine the
plants that are most economical to raise.
In California and most of the Southern
States alfalfa is superior to any of the
plants mentioned, and it stands the pre-
vailing droughts better. Cabbages
have been found to be cheap food for
hogs in many sections of the country.
In France the farmers are giving atten-
ton to the raising of leeks for hogs.
They are said to be especially valuable
for quite young pigs. Like onions and
garlic, they are known to be very whole
some and to act as preventives of many
diseases. In many places pumpkins
and squashes are easily raised, and they
make excellent food for hogs during the
period between good grass and ripe corn.
The profitableness of Jerusalem arti-
chokes is acknowledged by nearly all
who have raised them, but their culture
is not as general as it should be. They
are easily grown, very productive, and
exceedingly wholesome. The economic
feeding of hogs has not received the at
tention it deserves. In fact, the value
of our hog products is not appreciated

the meat eaten, while the pork products
exported bring 500, 796,779 into the

Daily Routine on the London Journals.

Soon after six in the evening the SUBJ
editors arrive, and begin work on the
piles of manuscript and printed matter
which await them there. The printer
is pressing them for copy" for his
hands are waiting; but they must pro-
ceed cautiously, or they will choke space
which will be sorely wanted later on.
Now the reporters in Parliament and
out of doors begin to send up their first
manuscripts, and if these and those re-
ports to which there is no option, do
rot suffice to keep the printers going, a

Tropical Fruits.

Editor of the Florida AgricuIturist:
In your issue of recent date you ask
your readers to report the condition
of some tropical fruits. OF those
you named l only have the Tamarind
and Rose Apple. Neither are injur-
ed at all. The Tamarind is small
trees, not more than tour ieet high.
The Rose Apple is about twelve feet
high and fifteen feet broad, branch
ing to the ground. 1t is a most lux-
uriant and beautiful plant, full of nice
globular fruit buds, just ready to
burst into bloom. My Guava bushes
are also safe, tull of buds, and we
gather ripe guavas nearly every day.
In the seven winters spent here there
has never been enough frost to kill
the leaves on my lemon or lime trees.
My place is on the southeast shore OF
the great cluster of Ocklawaha lakes
on hills eighty 10 40 feet high.
Both the warm waters OF the lakes
and the commanding elevation doubt
less contribute to my comparative
exemption from frost. d. w. A.

yield many more nuts. The trees
will grow on the sea beech, even if
the waves break over them at times.
The cocoanut is indispensable to the
West Indians; it is food for man,
beast and fowls, and very fattening
to all. 1t is butter, and oil for burn
ing, and gives a brilliant, soft
light, that is grateful to the eyes.
We burnt nothing else for many
years. To extract the oil, the kernel
is taken out of the shell and grated,
boiling water is then poured over it
and stirred, then strain, and allow
the liquid to rest. Ia short time
cream rises to the surface, which is
skinned off and boiled until the oil
gets clear on the top, and there is
rich custard below The cream can
be eaten with stewed guavas or other
preserves, but is very rich, and IN
most cases is mixed with water to
reduce it. The fresh oil is eaten
with Goldfish, herring, etc, in place OF
butter, and is good tor frying fish or
anything else. The oil mixed with
vinegar and red pepper is tavorite
sauce. The custard remaining after
the oil is taken off is a delicious
condiment with bread or potatoes.
1t is also very fatteniug to pigs.
One dozen common cocoanuts give a.
quart of oil but eight nuts from old,
trees will make the same quantity.
Any one can follow our recipe, and
make cocoanut cream, oil and custara
from one or two nuts.
From all we can learn the people
in South Florida are planting their
trees too close together. Experience
will soon show them the folly Of
doing SO.

How to Prevent Improved Cattle
from Dying at the South.

A. B. Alen in Thoroughbred Stock JoutmGl.
Having resided some little time at
the South, and been engaged in fill-
ing orders for improved stock OF va
rious kinds for that region ever since
the year l843, have been taught
how animals should be treated there
which came from the North.
With respect to cattle, they should
be kept in a cool stable during hot
and even rather warm weather, not
only through the day but also at
night, with the exception that little
before and after both sunset and sun.
rise they may be suffered to take an
hours exercise or SO in clean, dcy
yard. IL is not generally known,
but my Southern friends have told
me, that TO be exposed to a heavy
dew at night, was as pernicious as TO
a fiery sun by day, and. in addition
to this, was the torment from mos
quitoes, flies and other insects, from
which they could be tolerably well
guarded in darkened stable. Their
feed should be cultivated grasses,
wheat and rye straw just as the heads
ale beginning to blossom, oats when
the grain is in milk, corDstalks COM
mencing to silk, or green ears, Ans
Der Cane and other sorghum well
headed out. Be careful when these
are cut to carry TO the stable to soil

Peach Tree BOrer..
Editor of The Florida Ag~iculturist.

Editor Of The Florida A0:'icuttuTist:
In late number of your paper l
saw something about the peach tree
borer. So you have them down
there. One of the worst enemies
the peach grower has to contend
with.
Vigilence is the price OF fruit in
any country. My plan of dealing
with the tree bo:er. is on the same
principle of keeping the pigs from
roofing up the potatoes. He Will do
the mischief if he is allowed the
chances to do it. So with the beetle
that stings the peach tree. 1t deposits
its eggs TO propagate itself. She is
as easily kept from doing her mis-
chief as the pig is kept out OF the
garden.

The articles we are publishing on
Cocoanuts is more adapted to the
Island of Ceylon, where the culture
has been carried on on large scale,
for long time. In the West Indies
the people are not so particular in
the choice of seed nuts, nor does tn e
plant require so much care while
growing. The dry nuts are thrown
in the shade and allowed to remain
there until they sprout, and then
transplanted in grove in rows 40 feet
apart, or in double rows 20 feet apart
and 60 feet from the next double
row. The trees lean from each other
and get air and suoshine, without
which they will not bear. If planted
too close they will grow tall, the
limbs will tall into each other
and the trees will bear few fruit.
We write this from experience having
planted out many groves in our time.
A'good deal in the'sale of the nuts de.
pend on their size 10 this country.
We have seen some jelly (young)
cocoanuts that would contain quart

called-while others will only have

nuts, however, is much thicker than

The Coming Fence.
Germantown Telegraph.

Gefm0noaon 1etegTGpb.
Farm fencing has been discussed
year after year with increased inter.
est ever since fencing was used to d..
vide fields and farms, and to keep out
of fields and crops the rowing cattle
which formerly filled the highways
and did immense damage to the hon
est, Woodworking farmer. The orig
inal sworn fence" is still in existence,
and so is the "stump fence" in the
wilder parts: of the State where fences
are used at ali. Then came the post
and-rail," which, in the most improv-
ed sections, continues 10 be the most
popular and we may say the most et-
ticient fence ; but lum Der is getting
scarce, and some other material than
wood must be substituted. The
"hedge fence" in the Western States
has, within the last ten years, been
most extensively introduced, and
many believe that is the fence. Next
came the iron fence, the common
wire fence, followed by the "barbed
wire fence" which just now seems to
claim the most popularity. But there
ID still another just tried in the West,
which is coming in for a full share of
popular favor. This is simply wire
fence without barbs, woven together
similar to fishing seine, with large
heavy top and bottom wire. This
fence, it is said, will completely with
stand all kinds of cattle, with no pos.
slbility of injury. while it is "no more
expensive than ordinary board fence"
AS to the real truth OF this statement
we cannot say, but we should, fear
that from the lightness OF the wire,
unless we'll galvanized, it would sue
cumb to the effects of the weather.
One thing. however, seems to be we'll
established, that iron, in some form,
must eventually be the"coming tenc,"

is mixed with the fodder. Two
quarts or so OF wheat bran, with a
pint of cotton seed meal, nights and
mornings. are also excellent for keep
ing the bowels in good order, and
assisting in better digestion OF the

mails to lick from as much as they
crave, an even to a heaping tea
spoonful of fine salt, according to the
size OF the animal, should be mixed
either in the evening or morning
mess of bran. To this may be added
teaspoonfnl of pure wood ashes,
and once week tablespoonful OF
sulphur if the least costiveness is
shown. The water must be pure,
and of it the cattle should have all
they will drink, morning, noon and
night. 1t is better to water them
hall an hour or more before feeding,
rather than after it.
No Northern cattle ought to be
ST fered to roam out in the field du~
ring April, or May to December, and
perhaps it would be generally best
not to allow them to do so at any
other time OF the year, lest they
should pick up injurious weeds or
drink impure water.
No cattle should be taken South
from the North above the Seth de-
gree of latitude; that Is, from over
six months.t to year old, except from
a high, hilly or mountainous region.
Older animals than these do not &C.
climate nearly SO we'll, and to the
wants cad capacities OF each animal.
This entails judgment and discrlmi-
nation. One COW will consume reg@
ularly more food than another, and
each animal should at all times be
furnished with a liberal supply of
healthy diet. not merely enough to
fill up, the constant waste OF the sys-
TEN, but enough, and to spare, OF a
food adapted to the production OF a
rich quality of milk. Keep the COWS
always in good condition, should be
the keynote of every dairy farmer
1t is the great secret of success, and
the aNdiffel ence between success and
failure turns upon it. Cows giving
milk require more food in proportion
to their size and weight than either
working stock or growing animals.
It is hard struggle for COW re-
duced in flesh and blood to fill up
the wasted systera with the food that
would otherwise have goneS ltk 0he
secretion Of milk, but if she IS liber-
ally fed, warmly stabbed and with a
good bed. with plenty of pure, fresh
water, roots, and often moist TODD
and properly treated to frequent
carding, with constant kindness and
gentle usage, she is ready at all times
to respond abundantly in the produc-
ton OF milk. A good COW treated
in this way under favorable clrcum'
stances caunot fail to be profitable

Sam gave me leo acres on the "Great

the old gent two hundred dollars.
After residing on the land for over
two years the day came, when he
said: shines up, young man; pay me
$R25 per acre for pour prescription,

see if he::can make a living on it," l
had improved it TO the extent that l

I might have 'srelinquished" the claim
and then "homesteaded' it, but I had
the "Florida fever" and wished to
keep my homestead right for use in
this blessed tbut oft maligned) land.
What seemed the best way out OF
the difficulty was to borrow $3.50 at
10 per cent. for Eve years-loan
