Florida Oranges in Europe.

Henry S. Sandford, owner Of the cell
ebrated Beliar Grove, in this county,
who has done more to introduce choice
varieties of the fruit in this state than
any other person, has also inter-
ested himself in letting the Old
World know about our superior fruit by
expectations abroad of the oranges grown
here. Commencing six or seven years
ago, he has sent Flori*a oranges, both Of
the native varieties and also of the choice
varieties of the budded fruit, abroad, and
placed them where they would be GER
tain to be compared with the Mediter
ranean fruit. Writing from San Reno,
Italy, he says: II brought some of Bel
lar oranges with me here, and ! have
amazed these people by their great SUI
periority over their fruit. In fact, there
is no comparison between them, ours
being infinitely superior" There is a
market in Europe for Florida oranges
which needs only to be supplied to yield
to the growers large returns for strictly
fancy fruit These best oranges grown
in Italy are never exported, but consum
ed on the Continent by wealthy people
who are able and willing to pay fancy
prices for fancy fruit. AS there is moth
ing grown there or in any other country
known to compare with Florida fruit, we
may expect to see the future demand for
choice Florida or nges in Europe in
crease to that extent that will enhance
the prices here, or, at least. keep it at its
present prices even if the production is

How to Plant Corn.

When snow from three or four feet
deep, and the thermometer at zero, the
discussion of how to plant corn may seem
little unreasonable, but writer from
the interior has some IDEAS which he
asks us to print. He says corn can be
planted in April, May and June, and in
each case the result may be satisfactory.
But there is but one proper season to Sc
cure the best results, and that is the first
two weeks in May. Good seeds has
never been known to fail when planted
at this time, but when planted earlier
there is risk of damage from cold and
protected rains. In planting, if the
ground is lumpy, it is well. to have it
rolled before marking, as it leaves the
field in much nicer shape, and better
work is sure to be accomplished. AS all
corn is planted with the horse planteritis
Of the greatest Importance the machine
should be properly adjusted for'the work.
If the ground is old or Wellrun out three
or four grains are enough for hill, but
if it is new and fresh five or six should
be planted. While three sto ks are
enough for hill, some allowance should
be made for loss by cut worms, accidcn-
tai breakage, and etc. Corn should not
be planted deeper than four inches
two inches is even better if the ground
is friable and moist. If dryer it should
be planted at least four inches. A good
farmer is goingto try to get his corn rs
near straight, DO h ways, as possible, but
the art Of laying off corn ground in good
shape is one hard to acquire. The wri-
ter has never seen or heard of but one
man who could drive a team the proper
way across field.
The few practical hints here given are
submitted by a farmer, and the same
are based on tbs actual result of twenty
years of study and experience.

The Diamond Country i'm Africa

The soil when brought to the summit,
is carted away and strewn on the ground
where it is left for a fortnight or three
weeks to pulverise in the sun. At the
expiration of this time gangs of Kafirs,
superintendent by a white overseer,
break the large, dry Jumps into powder,
and this in turn is carted away to be
placed in the washing machine. 1t is
during the process of first breaking that
some of the largest diamonds are discov-
cred, and the overseer has to keep a
sharp lookout on the workers in conse-
quence. In spite of the terrible penalty
incurred by any one detected in the act
of secreting good find, thefts are very
rife, and many diamond finds its way
into Kafir possession in spite of the
sharpest vigilance. During the process
ofwashing, the gravelly substance, which
is full of garnets as we'll as the diamonds,
sinks to the bottom of the machine,
while the earthen substance disappears
in another channel. When it has been
thoroughly washed through two or three
times this gravel is collected and strewn
on tables, where searchers, with steel
instruments somewhat resembling very
broad knives, carefully turn it over in
minute search. Then it is that the pre-
cious jewel is discovered in all manner of
sizes and shapes. when it is placed in a
small tray, on which another overseer
keeps his watchful eye. / was given
several little heaps of gravel to dissect,
and in half on hour had succeeded in
discovering about 20 or 80 diamonds Of
very fair size, and some so perfectly
shaped that they had every appearance
of having just left the cutters hands,

Decay of Population in France.

Various reasons have been put for
ward to explain the increasing sterility
of the French nation, but, after all have
been examined, no valid reason can be
sustained except the growing indisposi-
ton of the people to have large families;
and with the increase of wealth in the
country it is probable that this indis-
osition will increase instead of diminish
ing. Some have asserted that the ply
steal vigor of the Frenchman has de-
creased, but there is no grounds what
ever for such an ASSERT IN. Density Of
population has been put forward as an
other reason; but France is really sparse
ly populated compared with Belgium,
England, Italy, and other countries. II
France were as densely populated as
England and Wales she would have 49,
OO0inhabitants; while in the most dense
ly inhabited districts OF France, like
the Nord and the Pas de Calais, the pop
ulation really does increase. Wars have
no doubt contributed to keep down the
population. 1t has been calculated that
the wars of the second empire cost the
country .267 .276 inhabitants. The ex-
cess of deaths over births during the
Franco-Prussian war amounted to 547.-
9SS, and the whole excess of deaths over
births was for the five years of war of
the second empire GA, $40, to which
must be added to make up the loss the
number of births lost to the country by
the war, and loss of 1884 ,662, French
men and women by the cession of Alsace
and Lorraine.

Early Domination OF Seeds.

The season is near at hand, says the
N. Y. Tribune, for putting seeds oftoma-
toes and other tender vegetables or flow
ers for which our northern summers are
too short, in warm, moist, light, rich
soil to terminate. Potatoes of early
sorts may be had the earlier by bringing
the seed into warm room three or four
weeks before they can be possibly plan
ted. For this sprouting Of seeds and tu-
bers only warmth and sutfic ent mois-
ture are wanted--such warmth, day and
night, as the housewife chooses to secure
the rising of her dough, or the brewer
for the development of the yeast. But
as soon as leaves begin to appear the
fullest light that clear glass will admit
must be added to the other conditions,
and the plants must be SO thinned by
pulling out the weakest, or setting out
part in another box, and preferably on
cubes of sod, so as to prevent them from
shading and weakening each other. Set
them in full out door light on every OPP
portunity of mild, still air; but don't
trust them out over night, or into the
Garden bed until the soil has become eff
fectually warmed, not till June 10 for the
very tender kinds.-Quis-Quis.

How to Feed Meal to Cows.

1t is matter of some importance how
the meal is fed to COWS. Owing to the
peculiar structure of the cows digestive
organs, when meal is fed alone, instead
of going iEto the first stomach where the
hay goes, and remaining until it is do
masticated, it goes directly to the third
and thence to the fourth stomach. The
consequence is that the meal is
not subjected to the softening
process which the hay undergoes, and
which would render it more easily diges-
tible. Where considerable meal is fed,
a portion of it is liable to be imperfectly
digested and thus occasion loss. By wet
ting the meal and hay together before
feeding, the meal will be subjected to
the whole digestive process. It is be-
lieved that by thus feeding the cows,
more meal can be digested without dis
turbance of the digestive organs, and
consequently more milk obtained, than
by feeding the meal separately. This is
matter worthy the consideration of
those who feed dairy cows.-New Eng
land Farmer,

to meet them. He had put on his kit,

When the dragons came to the bridge
my father drew his sword and said,

back. Then my father came back and
put away his claymore."
Here the old man paused. Rising
from his seat, he crept slowly to the
door of the cottage, which he opened,
and looked cautiously up and down the
road. He then bolted the door of the
room, and making a sign intoxicating
silence, he stood erect and stretched
his withered arm to the rafters beneath
the roof. From this hiding-place he
pulled forth an old claymore, hacked
and stained. This" he said, holding
out the weapon with trembling hand at
arms length-''this is my fathers clay

and this he plunged into the heart Of
many of the bloodthirsty loonss.who des-
plated our land; and this is the clay
more which frightened away the dra-
goons from the bridge, and would have
killed every one of them if they had
dared to cross!"
The old man ceased talking. He still
stood tall and erect, with his snow-white
locks falling on his shoulders, and the
claymore trembling in his hand: His
fiery spirit, which had sustained him
during the time he was recalling the
scenes of his youth, was yielding, to his
age; one more effort he made, and man
aged to put back the old claymore under
