New York sixty days with little or no

How long can oranges be allowed to
remain on the tree without becoming
pulpy or damaging the incoming crop"
Something would depend upon the
location and character of the soil. On
low hammock lands oranges become
pulpy much sooner than on high ham,

anges taken from trees on high lands in
June. am informed that in Sicily some
portion OF their trees are left to furnish
the late oranges that we get in New
York in July and August, half-grown
oranges being on the trees when the
crop is taken off. Judge Edwards, of
Micanopy, informs me that he has trees
on which he has left the fruit until April
and May without making any perceptibe
difference to the incoming crop. Care,
OF course, must be exercised in gather
ing, so as not to unnecessarily shake off
the bloom or injure the small oranges"
what amount of fruit do you think
can be sold at reasonable profit to the
producers If properly manipulated and
distributed"
"That is rather hard question to an
swer. Our fruit is undeniably finer than
that produced by any of our competitors
either in our own markets or those of
Europe, should unhesitatingly say that
many times our present crop could be
successfully marketed, not, perhaps at
prices that would satisfy the bonanza ex-
pectations of our present producers, but
at prices that would give reasonable, yea
a large profit, on the cost Of produc-
ion."

But while this conflict between man
and scale-bugs is going on with vary

orange grower to be ON his guard. Let
him not wait for the pest to get foot

Grape Fruits.

Grape fruits are growing into favor as
they become known. But as with the
oranges, there is a strong tendency to
gather them and force them on the mar.
ket before they are ripe. These NAV
take on their pale yellow color, and vet
be very far from ripe, or even have at
tanned much more than one half their
size or weight, and none of their natural
saccharine quality. Early varieties of
these do not occur, and only those that
fall from the trees should be gathered.
Seldom does one find a full ripe grape
fruit before March and, they increase lin
value until July. What reason can he
assessed for picking them in November.
when they can have no real market val
ue, instead of allowing them to remain
on the tree till they are ripe and will
s. a hundred in the home
market? Neither grape fruits nor or
anges will ripen after they are severed
from the tree; and to the fact that thev
rlpen on the tree is due the high reputa-
ton OF the Florida orange. This prema
ture plucking is rapidly depreciating that
reputation. When will growers Study
their own interest ?-Judge Knap6. IN

How Flies Walk on GLASS;,

have concluded from my expert.
ments that it is not the pressure of the
air nor the power Of an adhesive liquid
that gives flies the faculty of running
over smooth bodies, but that the power
should be attributed to the molecular
action between solid and liquid bodies;
or, in other words, to capillary adhe-
sion. w
If we examine the under part of the
putDili with microscope, we shall see
distinctly that it is furnished with nu-
merous hairs, regularly distributed.
These hairs terminate, at their. lower
end, in q Kind of bulb, the form of which
varies, whence flows an oily liquid that
dries slowly and does not harden for a
long time. The minute drops left on
the glass by the hairs may. be taken
away, even aftersx. two or three
days have passed, without .sour hav-
ing to moisten them, by sims
ply rubbing piece of fine paper over
them. l have devised an apparatus for.
collecting these drops by cutting q hole
is piece of board over which I fix 8
glass slide. Turning the board over so
that the glass shall be at the lotion, I
have a little cell with glass floor.
With the aid Ola piece OF paper eummed
to tie wings. introduce a fly into this
cavity in such manner that the pull
viii shall rest upon the floor. Then,
putin g the board under the micrescope.
with the glass slide upperrnost, we have.
the Hy,s feetunder our eyes. The IN
sect, struggling for liberty, places his
pplv:M against the glass, and leaves
after each effort traces that may be OBJ
served very distinctly. for they are per-
fectly visible in a good light.
Wemay discover whenever the feet
of the fly come again into contact with
these tracks or minute drops that they
are composed of very liquid sub
stance, for they spread quite readily on
the glass. We can not admit, as some
nataralists assume, that the liquid can
hold the club-shaped hair-ends by sue
ton. If this were the case the ends
would change shape during the sue
ton, and would take the form of
disk. The fly puts its feet down and
lifts them up,withs an ineom parable ia
cility that would not exist if the limb
were really acted upon by the pressure
of the air.-Dr. 81. E.. Rons6oslts, in
