pointed it out to me across the clear wa
ter lake. Altoona is busy place and
has some good stores. Mr.. Waite has
lust painted his new building which
overlooks, and quite takes the shine off
the rest. Mr.. Blackman, recently from
Mo-, but originally from N. Y. State, is
sowing the good seed wherever he finds
opportunity-inay he continue long in
the good work. Mr.. Hand is from Ga. !,
but has now been here several years !;
has a fine grove on the road. But his
place has more cheerful appearance
since he no longer lives alone. He made
a short trip to Georgia, some time ago,
and returned with life partner, which
was wise step, in our opinion Then
comes the grove set out by Mr.. Hinson,
now gone the way of all the earth at ripe
dage. Mr.. Yreadwell isthe owner now.
The trees are very fine and attract the
attention of the passengers on the train.
Now we are at Pittman, new place
with a goodly number Of houses and
groves recently started. The handsom-
est hotel on the route isl at this place,
and quite number of new corners have
stopped here lately, among them the fa-
miliar face of t. Il. G. Brinly, from
Louisville, Ky. He is looking very finely,
his health is much improved and we
hope he may be spared many years, and
continue to rack his fertile brain for new
inventions for our use and convenience.
He brought us hand plowwith all the
''fixings," from his Louisville factory.
1t is very useful article, and when the
ground is in good order, that is, free
from roots and snags, it dispenses with
the use of horse, and does the work as
we'll and in less time. Send for one if
you have garden patch. haywood is
one and a half miles from here, due
west. 1t is on higher ground, and there
you can have the pleasure of looking
down on things. Many Northerners are
making groves there, and the color and
thriftiness of the trees show that it is
"orange land. y The sawmill has used
up many of the pines and has large
pile Of lumber on the place.! The lady
from Wisconsin has also q large pile
and is making extensive Improvement
on her place. This ii nsgE place o
groves, but some gardens will be pre-
pared for winter planning On these
hills Ne not only have e55d trees, bat
we have good health, which is heavens
best gift. S. L. r.

keep my queens wings clipped so that
they cannot fly, and when they swarm
out they are obliged to return, and there
is no chance to lose a swarm. As |
wanted money instead of more swarms,
kept the honey extracted and gave the
bees more room, or took few away at a
time to start nuclei and raise queens.
In that way swarming can be largely
controlled. We obtained between forty
and fifty pounds of good honey from
each nucleus, which was sold at the uni
form price of ten cents per pound, a fair
profit. We also sold fourteen dollars
worth OF Italian queens. Our bees are
all pure Italians and every queen raised
has been pure. Have on hand eighteen
full colonies and ournuclei. Mr.. Hart,
at Smyrna, reports 225 pounds of honey
per colony, which can never be equaled,
probably, away from the mangrove. Our
bees only gathered enough honey to live
on from May to December, and some of
the nuclei had to be fed. They manage
to get enough pollen for brood rearing
during the whole season, and in the fall
months gained enough surplus to last
through the season, but none to spare.
If we were near hammock they would
do some more. There is but little cab
bage-palmetto near us. That yields a
nice honey and comes just after the saw
palmetto. When people tell of the won
derful honey yield during every month
in the year, l shall have to conclude
that they don't know what they are
talking about. We have made list of
the Botanical names OF over 100 flower
ing shrubs and plants that have bloomed
since June and have only seen the bees
working on four or five, among them,
ElphantO pas TOmentosus, Cassid Cha
moechrista partridge pea), Palqforia,
Integrifolia and SoLidago Pilosn golden
rod). There are several species of gold
enrod growing everywhere in the woods,
on which we have never seen single
bee. What honey we have taken has
paid good profit on the labor, but l
/ have no idea We can ever get it here by
the ton, as we did in Iowa. Ten OF
twenty colonies in locality think will
pay some profit almost anywhere.

already people are fiocking in and taking
up the liberal offers. Land around
the town at present is very Cheap, being
sold at from So to 500 per acre, and it
is well adapted to the raising of all of the
citrus family besides vegetables of all
kinds. In fact, Messrs. Webb & Higley
are making the raising of orange groves
one OF their specialties, having in charge
groves belonging to non-residents, and
have contracts for putting out quite
number this winter. Among the num-

Bee Culture.

Among the many industries that have
attracted the attention of the producing
classes of Southern Florida, the produc-
ton of honey has been overlooked to a
great extent. Though a few, limited
portions of the State, can compete with
the greatest honey producing regions OF
the world, the larger portion of it will
probably never be noted for yielding a
great surplus. Yet, in my opinion, there
are few or no places within its borders
where honey could not be produced in
sufficient quantities to supply the entire
home demand for that kind of sweets,
and at a price within reach of all classes
will be needed than the old fashioned
"bee gums" yielding occasionally lit
tie honey dug out of the top, without
any regard to the needs of the colony
below. The successful production of
honey will need-frst,, good, movable
frame hive, it matters little what kind,
they are not patented. Second, an ex-
tractor, bee-smoker, honey knife, and
other implements needed to handle bees
and honey. Third, good italian bees,
and, fourth, apretty thorough knowledge
OF the best modern methods of culture,
which will include knowledge of the
nature and habits OF the bee. This
knowledge can only be obtained by work
ing with some intelligent and skillful
bee keeper, or by thorough study of
some of the lately published book on
bee keeping, and taking and reading one
or more bee journals. A. J. Cooks
Manual" published by the author /
believe, at Lansing, Mich, is one of the
best. The "a. B. G. of Bee Culture"
by A. /. Root, Medina, Ohio, is also
good. A thorough knowledge of the bus
mess is absolutely necessary to enable
one to produce honey with profit at pri-
ces at which it is now sold. have had
one years experience here in Florida,
at my place two miles southeast of Lake
Helen. IN November 1888, l shipped
seventeen nuclei of Italian bees, by ex-
press, from Iowa, at cost of about three
dollars per hive, each nuclei having bees
enough for about or of a full colony.
They went to work as soon as they were
let out, and have gathered pollen or bee
bread every month during the year. In
January the scrub pine about mile
away began to yield some surplus honey,
and they gained some in brood When
orange blossoms came they again obtain
ed surplus but did not store as much
as had looked for, and by the time
saw-palmetto was in bloom they had
nearly all become strong enough to
swarm if had allowed them to do so.

South Side Of Lake Harris.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
There are two thriving villages on the
south side of Lake Harris, namely:
Yalaha and Bloomfield. The latter was
founded by Mr.. Mendenhall, little more
than two years ago. 1t now has three
stores, an hotel, two saw-mills, a cabinet
makers shop, etc., and the handsomest
post.office in the county. The mails ar
rive here daily from the North. Bloom
field lies half mile south of the lake.
on a pretty knoll, and the surrounding
country consists of high rolling pine lands
and clear water lakes. The public school
has two good teachers, and is open eight
months in the year. Preaching and
Sunday School every Sabbath. Have no
saloon in our village and are determined
| that none shall be opened Gardening
is profitable business here. One OF
lsour gardeners last year cleared 81 600
on three acres of land. We have q water
protection of over seven miles to the
northwest, the direction from which the
cold wave comes, and are therefore, prac-
tically, as free from frost as points south
OF latitude 27o.. Mrs. Drake, of Yalaha,
has tamarind tree 20 feet high, which
is full OF fruit this year, and has been
bearing the last three years. 1t is eight
yS"io oiu. IAoAh OulcI ScSuS WHICH
received of you about three years ago,
| raised two Cherimoyas. The larger
one has bloomed four times this year,
but the fruit did not "set." Neither of
the trees were hurt by the cold last win
ter, and did not even drop their leaves.
Among other tropical fruits which have
been tried here, and seem suited to our
section, are the mango, avocado pear,
tropical papaw, custard apple, spanish
chestnuts, sour sop, sweet sop, horse
radish tree and sapadillo. The last
three are fruiting now. Guavas, of
which we have many varieties, were
sold here as low as 10 cents per bushel,
and this, too, after the hardest winter
known for over Is years. OF bananas
and pine apples, we had enough to sup
ply the local demand. Ono.

The rapidity with which towns spring
into existence in Florida and the veloci-
ty of their growth is truly wonderful.
the pine forests which have stood so
majestically for years, are hewn down,
anu beautiful homes and vast orange
groves take their place. Prominent
among the towns that have Just sprung
into existence and are making rapid
growth is the above named place. 1t is
situated in the Lake Region of Orange
County, north of Lake Yale and north
east OF Lake Griffin. The land is high
and rolling and dotted with innumerable
clear water lakes which now abound with
fish and game. Many of the lakes have
very abrupt banks with deep water,
making some of the most beautiful build
ing sites for houses that we have ever
is by the st. Johns and Lake Eustis rail-
road to Fl. Mason and from there by the
mail wagon, or from Altoona by private
conveyance, it being ten miles from Altoo-
ma and seven from Fl. Mason. Better
transportation is under way, and soon
Higley will have direct communication
with the outside world. A steamboat
is to be put on Lake Yale in short
time, to run from Higley to Fl. Mason,
there making connection with the Eustis
railroad. The survey of the railroad
from Ocala to Sanford passes through
the town, and there is good prospect
of the road being completed in time
to take off their next orange crop.
In going from Altoona to Higley one
passes through some of the most beauti-
pine woods country in the State, which
will before many years bring fortunes to
their owners. Higley is but about eigh-
teen months old, and yet it is rap
idly becoming a large town. They
already have two first-class saw-mills,
running, part of the time night and day,
to supply the demand for building ma
terial, orange boxes and vegetable crates.
A hotel of thirty-five rooms is being rap
idly pushed and soon will be ready for
guests, which will be numerous as soon
as the steamboat is put on Lake Yale.
A post Office is already established with
regular mails from Fl. Mason. A neat
school house is one of its good features,
and it is at present used also for church
SERVES. Messrs. Page 4 johnson have
started good general merchandise store
to supply the already large demand.
Wide avenues have been cut through
the pines, and as the town has been sys-
tematically laid off, it presents very
pleasing sight. Messrs. Webb & Higley,
who are the founders of the place, are
both men of stern integrity, and are
working hard to build up the town, and
they are offering lots to any one who will
build on and otherwise improve the
property This offer, of course, can not
hold good for great length of time as
