Setting Out Orange Trees.

As this is the time for planting
orange trees we give the following
from Rev. T. w. Moore's Hand
Book of Orange Culture" very ex-
cellent work:
. Before the work of transplaut-
ing begins, the soil for the grove
should be well prepared 1t is most
generally the case that the great
hurry to get the trees into the ground
causes much neglect at this point,
but this policy is a bad one. The
haste should have reference to the
early fruiting and rapid growth Of
the tree; and they are no, brought
about by careless preparation of the
soil. The soil should be deeply and
thoroughly broken, and the ground
cleared of the roots. To insure the
setting of the trees proper and
uniform depth, the ground should
be levelled with harrow or drag.
No manure should be used at the
time of setting, nor before, unless
applied some months before setting
and thoroughly incorporated with
the soil.
"rhe best time tor setting trees is
the late winter or early spring, be>
fore the new wood has started. The
ground is then cool and the roots 10
as dormant condition as at any time
during the year. 1t is better that
the ground should be wet and the
setting followed by showers. But
wet soil is not so essential at this time
of the year as it is when the trans
planting has been doue later and the
ground aud sun are warmer. II tie
work of transplanting has not been
completed before the warm, dry
weather OF spring has set in and be-
lore new wood has advanced far, It is
best to deter the work till the ire
quent showers OF August and Sep
TENDER begin to fall. Good results

winter planting, but these seasons

Sugar Plantation on a Large
Scale.


We can never expect to grow the
Sugar Cane in Florida on a large
scale for our State is too sparsely
populated to furnish the necessary
labor for that purpose. Sugar
Plantations require continuous and
reliable labor, and great deal of it,
ready to hand Immediately it is
wanted. Nor viii it pay, if the ag-
riculturists on a small scale, should
have to burden themselves with ma>
chlnery TO manufacture sugar from
what cane they grow. Capitalists
would have to erect factories for
that purpose, and purchase the cane
as fast as ripe, from those whose occu-
patton is the growing alone, thereby
enabling the latter to devote their
sole attention 70 this branch OF in
dustry. TO give some information
on the subject. we have begun in
this number an account of how the
Usaaes, or Central Factories, are
in the French West Indies,
and thexprofits that can be made
from them.

WHY Persist i'm FaIsehOod?

About two years since, "Aunt
Nancy" as she signed herself, broke
loose from the confines of her native
pumpkin patch in New England, and
made a flying visit to the South, and
Florida in particular-it railroad
passage over our railroads may be
called visit. She came on a tour of
observation, and, true Yankee>like,
she was "all eyes" where she had no
one to question, and saw-well, as far
as Levy county extended, she saw
little else than sand hills which, she
declared, would produce nothing in
the way of edibles; and as to stock,
she declared she did not see head
not a heap OF bones and skins in the
shape of a COW, nor walking razor
covered with bristIes and wearing a
juvenile elephants trunk. Now the
truth is and was then, that three men
owned over 10000 head of good
stock in Levy county. But aunt
s'Nancy's" yarn was spun Sue had
only seen so-and>so, and her letters
were gulped down as nothing but the
truth. But was it all OF the truth
No. Nancy saw but little to des"
cribe, and did not stay to make in-
quiries In Levy or any other county
The panoramic view, as it struck her
from the car window, was neither
consoling nor captivating to her dear
soul. What! no rocks III sight
nothing bat sand? Stop a moment

Ginger.
from them

We have seen some fine ginger
grown in Florida, and it is an indus>
try that could be followed with prof.
it, not for the purpose of preparing
the raw or scraped ginger for mar.
ket, as the former is low in price and
we cannot compete with the tropics
in that respect, nor can we get labor
at such prices as TO make money by
scraping it, which is tedious and
expensive operation. We can make
a good thing however by preserving
the young bulbs>when they are quite
tender, and putting them mp tor sale.
In that state they are very delicious
and command nigh prices It takes
a great deal os sugar, for it has to

hut the syrup win always command
much higher prices than the sugar
costs. Ginger lcan be grown on ham
mock or good low pine land. The
young roots would be fit for preserv
ing about the end OF August or the
beginning o! September, at that time
they are white.

tial number appeared in November. As
its name indicates it is paper which
proposes to lead with Morse subjects.
In appearance and literary merit, it is a
credit to its editors and should have a
circulation such as to warrant its success
among the people whose exponent it is.
Seemingly it has a number of able con-
tributors. To student of English there
is something attractive in the old Morse

history which no one nation can claim
as its own. Should Scandinavia fulfill
Its promise, it is journal which will be

have of late been instrumental in work

is imperatively demanded. The men

ASTRONOMERS are puzzling themselves
at present in attempting to explain the
cause of the redness which has lately
been apparent in the western heavens
after sunset. The latest theory is to the
effect that some detached comet tail is
disseminating particles of itself through
space and the phenomenon is due to the
reflection of the suns rays in striking
these particles. Whatever may be the
cause the phenomenon is novel one.-
Telegraphic dispatches have been sent
out from various towns in the east at
different times during the past few weeks
by parties who were anxious to know
where the fire was.

JAS. G. BLAINE has recently written a
letter to the editor of the Philadelphia
Press. in which he urges that all the
revenue that is collected by the national
government through the tax on liquor
and tobacco, should be distributed among
the several states in proportion to their
population. Ben Butler, in commenting
on the latest scheme of the great states
man, alludes TO the fact that there is
prohibitory law in force in Mr.. Blaine's
own state, and consequently entertains
the idea that the recommendation comes
from the wrong quarter. 1t would in
deed be little inconsistent, to say the
least, for the people of Maine to share
the fruits of traffic which they have,
through their legislature, denounced as
criminal. Mr.. Blaine's letter was no
doubt intended as bid for the presi-
dency, but the prevailing opinion even
in his own party seems to be that he has
not frightened his prospects any.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.

1t begins to look now as though the
democratic party have abandoned the old
time idea of straddling the tariff question
for the sake of gaining votes. There is
no getting around the fact that the cleo
ton of Carlisle to the speakership carries
with it the significance that the rank and
file of the democratic party are opposed
to the present high protective system of
the dominant party. 1t has always been
one of the proudest boasts of democracy
that the party is run in the interests of
the poor man. Its fundamental princi.
pies are essentially anti monopolistic,
and as such are necessarily opposed to
any system which tends to proven dis
semination of the wealth of the country
among the masses of the people. -
As a question of policy the election
OF Carlisle may not be the best one
that could have been made, but be
cause the election means triumph of
principle it ls desirable one, and ulti.
mately the party will undoubtedly come
out stronger on account of the action of
their representatives liz the House. The
ACCESSIBILITY of making any sweeping
changes in the tariff during the present
session may well be questioned. Even
were anything of the kind attempted the
republican Senate is ready to oppose the
movement. But because of this opposi-
ton the democrats in the House should
not be deferred from attempting such
reforms in the tariff as are imperatively
demanded. Even republican protection
lists do not attempt for instance to ex-
plain what advantage accrues from de-
stroying the pine forests of the north
west for the sake of keeping out import
ed lumber. Neither is any logical ex-
PLANTATION offered why the masses of the
people should be taxed to support few
sugar planters in Louisiana. The great
bulk of the intelligent voters of the coun-
try will watch with interest the proceed
lngs of the present democratic majority
in the House of Representatives. Upon
their judicious action depends in a large
measure the success of the party in 1884.

A CASE of oons;aorab,a Local ;,o,or

A CASE of considerable local impor-
lance came up for trial in Judge Smart g
court last week. The plaintiff In the
action, Manitowoc Rapids farmer,
bought during the summer, of one of
our city grocery firms, what was suppos-
ed to be turnip seed. but which on being
sown proved to be rape seed. One acre
and quarter of ground was sown with
the seed purchased. The farmer began
the action to recover $3.50 damages, part
of which was for loss of the crop and the
remainder for damage to the land. The
trial failed to establish the fact that the
defendants acted in any other than good
faith when they sold the seed, and as q
consequence the damage awarded by the
jury was merely nominal.
