ton, or if this is not SO, then the death
rate compared with the births is alarm
ing to consider. The report shows
that last week there were six hundred

decrease of the population of that city
one hundred and one in week, and If
the same ratio continues New York in

conscious that he is no longer

you are no longer forced to

that the wall and ceiling

But with the advance of
the righteous in art there
is also a revelation of the

a great deal of sham art is

THE TELEGRAPH brings the news
that the steamer Catalonia arrived at
Boston yesterday with twelve hundred
immigrants, most of them sent over at
the expense Of the British Government
It0is difficult TO see what class of immi-
grants the British Government wants
to getclear of but paupers, and if these
referred to are paupers then the United
States authorities should send them
back from whence they came. The
United States Government has enough
to do to take care Of hrr own paup"rS
without having steamship loads of for
eign paupers dumped upon her shores.
If she does receive the oppressed and

ed on the coast. We are informed that

Protect the Agriculturist.

We are receiving letters continu :
ally from orange growers and farm
ers calling attention TO the uurelia-
bleness of many fertilizers now be-
ing sold in the State, and urging the
necessity of some law by which tests
may be made before such are allowed
to be sold. This is one of the quest
IONS that we hope will be laid before
our next Legislature and a law be
passed to protect the public from
loss. This is no sectional matter,
but one that will be beneficial to all.
Our sister State Georgia has an excel.
lent law to that effect and instead of
beingiany expense to the State. it is
a source OF income, returning much
more than the expense OF the Analysing.

Peter Henderson says: ST garden
seeds, when planted in the Spring,
are firmly pressed when under the
earth by the ball Of the foot at the
time the gardeners are putting them
into the ground they will invariably
grow, drought or no drought; and
what is still more important, they
will spring up earlier and grow tast-
err, and mature better than any of
their kind which have not been SUBJ
jgcte0 to this discipline. This same
rule OF pressure holds good in regard
to transplanting trees, shrubs, and

Local Option.a

Editor Of The Florida Agricwltwiss:
The question is often asked, "What
is Local Option % AS defined by Dr.
Haygood, President. of Emory Col
lege, Ca, in his Plea for Prohibition,
is the free choice of the communi-
ty."
lie adds, This is fair principle !;
each community should have the right
to say whether it will have bar rooms
in its midst. 1t would seem a great
hardship that local minority should
impose their choice in such a matter
on the majority. 1t would seem an
equal hard hip that an outside major,
ity should impose their preferences on
community removed from them.

Draining Lake Okeechobee.

The canal connecting Lake Okee-
chobee and the Caloosahatchle River
has, we have learned, been complet.
ed so that steamers leaving Kissimee,
in Orange county, will be able to
pass through to the Gulf. This is
work that will in time render large
body of land, as good as any in the
world, productive and fit for sugar
cane or almost any other crop; but
people must not run away with the
idea that it can be brought into imme<
dis.e cultivation. Only certain crops
can be made to grow for some years
and the turning up of the land will
tend to produce malarial fevers for a
long time to come. Our population
is increasing very fast and twill not
be many years before these lands
will become very valuable. We con-
slider the crops most suited for them at
first will be fibrouo plants, jute etc;
also rice. These crops cover the ground
in summer and will tend to keep
down the malaria. Their sugar cane
cabbages and other garden crops can
take their place. Central sugar works
can be erected, where planters can
sell their sugar cane, combining them
selves to the growing; this will re-
quire many canals as in Demerara.
White people cannot live in these

the former with the Persian and the
latter with Villa Franco or imported
Sicily. We can send you some buds
when your trees are well started, but
do not bud until they are well root.
ed. IT put in before that, the trees
have not the strength to make a

will fruit nearly as soon on seedlings
as on buds. We have tree 5 years

The shaddock is the largest of the
citrus family. There are about 40
varieties, but only two are worth
planting, viz: the large white flesh
and the. pink flesh, the former fat
and Of pale yellow rind, and the
other pear shaped and rosy colored.
The grape fruit grows in clusters,
which give it ;ts name. Sometimes
a dozen will grow on one bunch.
