Chayote.

This climbing plant of the Cucurbit
family yields excellent fruit, and the
heavy tubercular roots contain a large
quantity of starch. OF this starch g.
samples were shown in the MeXica
section of the International Exhibit n
at Philadelphia in 1876. The fruit is
green, large, and covered with thoIns.
In the mountains and inland parts j
Jamaica the plant is much cultivated to
fatten hogs with the fruit The fruit is
sometimes boiled and served up at ta-
Bile, but the flavor is rather insipid
When sown in sandy soil it grows lux
urlantly in the first year, yielding album
dant fruit. The second year it produces
tubercles, which can be taken off with
out killing the plant. This operation
may be repeated for six or eight years

cultivated this vegetable largely, giving
it the name of Cl4ayotli, which means
squash covered with thorns. The fruit
makes excellent pickles if cut into slices
and hot inegar poured over them. IN
the West Indies they are planted at the
roots of wide spreading trees, and the
vines bear heavy crops. We have seer
them grown in Jacksonville with good
results; and they will thrive as far North
as Charleston, where they are often
brought into the market for sale. The
vines cannot stand the frost; it has to be
cut down every winter, and the root
covered with straw 1t will spring up
next season and grow very quick.

Oae Acre.

The following estimates are approXi-
mately true of the comparative results
from one acre of land under proper cult
vation, viz
One acre, properly cultivated with
good reliable seed, planted in good land,
well drained, in corn, will produce TWEEN
ty-fve bushels, worth $25. With fifteen
dollars worth of fertilizer, properly APP
piled, this result may be increased to
fifty bushels, worth $50
In cotton, the same land, tillage, ma
nure, labor and expense nay produce
$50.
In sweet potatoes under similar cir
cumstances with much less labor and
expense, the producer will get at least
two hundred bushels, worth 500.
The same acre in orange trees, in full
bearing, will yield two hundred and fifty
boxes OF oranges, worth to the producer,
$500.
As to freight, transportation compa-
MES receive none of the corn and a very
small proportion of the sweet potatoes
PRODUCED. From the cotton they receive
but a small sum for transporting as COM
pared with the sums realized for carry
ING the orange crop. In cotton it re-
uulECS SlAlCGu <tClCo W III ~ va 3, NAAAtS ~
requires two cars to carry the produce
OF one acre in oranges. Practically the
merchants of the town and the people
thereof have from every acre of oranges
sold $500 added to the circulating medi-
UNI OF the community, while from each
acre in cotton they receive less than
800.
OF course it requires, as rule, about
ten years from the seed for an acre Of
oranges under ordinary culture to yield
two hundred and fifty boxes of oranges.
Nevertheless this has been accomplished
in some instancesin six years, and FREE
quently in seven Or eight; years by thoro,
cultivation. To the producer the cost OF
transportation to the railroad or steam
boat is of paramount Importance. Dis
lance from point OF delivery rapidly di-
minishes the profits on field crops and
those of orchards and groves. To illus
trate, take ten acres, eight or ten miles

orange, is warm, dry, and bitter" (See
Mat. Silv., Pandectas Medicine, fol. 125. }
This testimony Of Silyaticus is strength
ened by all the authors who have writ
ten upon the citrus; there is not one but
is convinced that these trees, were for a
long time very rare. in Italy and in
France, and that Liglira alone has ira
ded in them since they were first known
there.
Sicily and the kingdom Of Naples cul-
tivated, perhaps before the Ligurians,
the citron and the orange trees, but in
spite of the advantage OF climate, it was
only as objects of curiosity, limited to
some delightful spots.
This fact is established by the manner
in which most writers Of the twelfth CEN
fury express themselves on this subject
Hugo Falcandus, who wrote OF the ex-
ploits of the Normatis in Sicily, from
1145 to 1863, saw then lumies and oran-
gers, and points them out as singular
plants, whose culture Was still very rare.

so the frost line would have heen com
paratively established. As it is, has
been, and ever will be, the Almighty
does not direct the winds of the
South Atlantic in theinterest OF one sec
ton over another. We have to receive
this element as dispensed to us.
In the year 1877, there was quite a
freeze in Orange county and vicinity !;
also, in 1881. In these section from
Tampa across to Volusia county, they
had heavy frosts, while in the northern
counties on the st. Johns at the same
time, there was little or no frost. 1t can
readily be seen that the local currents
and conditions of atmosphere in the
State, is the reason the frosts 90 across
the State in streaks as it were, as such
is the case; also, the most important fact
is this: the farther south this blizzard
wave gets before it meets the warm cur
rent, the more tender the vegetation,
hence the more damage. Cur condition
is stated under the article "Winter Rest
of Trees;' hence we can stand consid-
cradle cold without much damage to our
vegetation.-w. G. b., IN O,ynge Port.

away from lines OF transportation. Only
one load can be delivered per day and
with man and team at $3.50 the cost for
the cotton will be atleast 20 cts. per bale,
corn, II cts. per bushel, sweet potatoes,
per bushel, l2'9 cts, oranges, 20 cts. per
box.
Or, to sum up, the actual cost of deliv-
cry will be:
For 10 acres cotton, $500
6 " corn, $500
sweet potatoes, $4,000
oronges, $4,000
The cost within two miles would not
exceed one fourth, probably one fifth of
the above estimate. Hence it is evil
dent that it is far better to purchase
good orange land convenient to trans
portation at one hundred dollars per
acre, than to pay eight or ten dollars per
acre for land eight or ten miles distant
from the line OF transportation. ~ Waldo

advocates of the most stringent PEN
altles against fence-cutters, while their
friends and defenders were from other
parts of the state than the cattle dis
tricts. They have forgotten, or do not
choose to remember, that they stood
by the fence-cutter and encouraged his
wickedness until they felt his fangs,
when in twinkling he was meta
morphosed from the mild, overcome
agriculturist into the ferocious cow
boy. No explanation of the sudden
and unaccountable TRANSPORTATION was
vouchsafed. The fence-cutter cutting
stockmen's fences was q proper enough
person; the fence-cutter when he cut
others fences became at once an ally
of the very class VIII III he was organ
lied to destroy.
This is the ridiculous position of the
men who are now shouting out that
the friends of free grass in North TeXa
are cutting fences. Starting out with
whooping up the fence-cutters and
setting them on the cattlemen, they
have got to the point of making out
that the fence-cutters are cattlemen's
agents to destroy land Enclosures and
make vast field of free grass of all
North and West Texas. Perhaps they
do not look upon themselves as folly
inspired mules, but it would be more
than usually ignorant jury which,
after hearing the evidence in the case,
could withhold verdict OF irreclaim.

A Herd-Law Plank.

While the journal has not taken much
stock in the free grass and herd-law discus
sions, yet IL has peen an interested observer
of The discussions of others. And. ia coming
to final settlement OF the matter, the plan
suggested by the Fort Worth GAZETTE, OF
having the people pass upon 1t In their con-
ventions, seems to be about the best that has
been ofTercd.-Bclton journal.
Fairly spoken. There is an element,
though, that has no patience with, or
tolerance for, the free-grass theory.
But we are curious to see If this ele-
ment has the courage of its convictions
If it will get up in the state conven-
ton and propose herd-law plank in
the platform. To be consistent il
should not hesitate at anything less.
Either this, or call halt to its inter-
minable carping at the free-grass idea.
II free grass is an issue it might as well
figure in the state campaign, clear-cut
and plain. A herd-law plank in the
platform would formulate the issue
and leave no opportunity for trim
ming or evasion. If it is the will of
the people of Texas that free grass
shall go" it will thus depart all the
quicker. Put the herd-law plank in
the platform, gentlemen of anti-free-
grass proclivities, and let the people
pass on it. THE GAZETTE is willing
to abide by the decision.

Fence-C Cutters and Free Grass.

When the fence-cutters first began
their assault upon the property of cit
liens Of this state, u certain class of
politicians and certain newspapers
covertly encouraged them by repre-
senting that their action was protest
illegal, maybe, but exculpable-of
the farming element against the ag-
gressions of the "cattle kings.n The
fence.cutter was to them the type of
an oppressed people rebelling against
the tyranny of organized capital.
They sympathized with his wrongs
and winked ut his wrong. doing.
Under such fostering influences the
evil grew to the proportions Of al
epidemic. Those who had stood as
accessories to the destruction of thou.
sands of dollars worth of property be
gan to suffer. The snake they hat
coddlesi into life turned and stuns
them, Then their laughter turned L
wailing, as their own fences began t,
90 down before the nippers. Their,
was no longer contest between al
oppressed "nester'' and greed,
cattle king" 1t was an unspeakabi,
wretch, an outlaw, midnight assas
sin Of property, who warred agains
law and order and sought to destro,
the established economy of the age.
Now II has come to pass that tn,
very class who six months ago wer
eager to defend the fence-cutter, he
cause he destroyed the property of cat
tlemen, are vilifyins the cattlemen a
the instigators of fence-cutting. Ever,
