Through the co-efforts of our mill men
and Mr.. Cook we have had our main
avenue improved by coating of shay
ings. They deserve the thanks of the
| public. Ii the balance of the neighbors
who own their own vehicles would do
| their duty we would have good roads
through the entire village.
Your reporter was informed that we
are to have new store in a short time.
We cannot divulge the names of the
parties for the present, but we can say
come and be with u.s. it will be a benefit
to our village, as competition is the life
of trade.
Mr.. Shapley's father spent few days
with us last week.
Mrs. DR.. Brown is quite i'll, at same
time she is visiting on Indian River.
Some doubts are expressed as to her
recovery this is sad news to us, as she
was very much esteemed by us all, and
we hope she will recuperate.
Prof. Stone has remodeled his house, it
presents fine appearance.
Mr.. S. G. Howry' house will be ready
for occupancy by the 1st of June. 1t

ment for the north end of our village
Mr.. Jesse McAbie leaves for Philadel-
phia this week.
Commodre Hart Norris and Miss
Douglass leave for their Northern home,
Morganville, New York, this week,-we
shall miss them.
Mr.. Henry Wright's house on Grand
avenue is approaching completion. 1t
shows up well and helps the east side.
Mr.. Editor, your reporter is in receipt
of a donation of what they say is Massa-
chusetts maple sugar. The object of the
donation is a conundrum, it may be to
sweeten up on. If such was the case,
the quality of the goods certainly ought
to be considered The analysis OF it says

Spring Garden Center.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Your postal card, asking what had be-
come of your special correspondent from
the Center, was received per last mail
| will try and make amends for lost time,
and give you a summary of the news
and items of interest for the past four
weeks.
We have, as you well know, railroad
in process of construction through our
village, and the natural interest and eX-
element caused by it has brought about
considerable discussion as to the loca-
ton of depot. Senator Delano is on the
anxious seat in reference to it. He
claims superior advantages on his prop
erty, having the streets necessary for
access, and the natural conveniences.
On the other hand the neighborhood
south of Stone avenue think the best
and most convenient place is at the in
tersection Of Guava st. Why? Because
they represent large number of acres
of orange grove, and do not wish to have
a greater distance to transport their
freights. Both proprietors seem to be
of a selfish nature, and notfor the inter-
est our of village. That location which is
the most central and convenient to the
entire neighborhood should be the one
selected. H
Property that could be purchased at
$50 and $40 per acre, is now held at $75
800, all account OF railroad and river
improvements. Our prospects are GER
tainly good. The river improvement,
under the management of the Spring
Garden Dock Co., has progressed quite
satisfactorily so far. They have had a
fine ware house and dock built, both are
large and roomy, sufficient to accommo-
date all freights
The work on the river is incomplete
as yet; the large boats cannot get thro'
owing to some OF the points on the banks

Irrigation.

The ApOpka Neacs gives the following
as the method pursued in watering Mr..
Laurence's grove at Maitland. 1t says:
"The work is done by an engine which
forces the water from the lake to large
tank 900 feet distant and fifty feet above
the lake, from which it is distributed to
all parts of the grove by means of pipes
laid under ground, with projecting tubes
two feet high, at intervals, to throw the
water like rain over the ground. There
are twenty-five acres in the grove, but
the trees being young and thrifty have
not needed much watering. This method
OF irrigating seems to be success, and
is worthy Of the attention of other orange
and vegetable growers"

The Champion Sna'ie Story.

! A Southern paper publishes story
which the next man will find it hard
80 beat The writer tells how he was
blas,ing with gunpowder some large
and tough logs. From one of the logs
thus split open crawled an enormous
serpent, which was easily killed. The
man who tells this story continues from
this point as follows: "On stretching
at out found it to be thirty. one feet
two inches in length, and the thickest
part of its body measured twenty-nine
inches in circumference. 1t was a diff
ferent species of serpent from any |
have ever seen before. Its tail was
armed with sharp pointed and curved
horn; its body was variegated with
alternate brown and dirty yellow
stripes, and on close examination ] dis
covered that it had been totally blind.
its eyes seemed to have turned into a
rehectionless, hard, bone-like substance.
This explained its undecided, hest
Fatating movements when it first came
from the log. a strange crease APP
peared about the neck. just back of the
head which found to be caused by q
stout thong OF leather, about which the
iic7u vi INC SCI p'u' Hdu Sio"H uH'll IL
had sunk almost ont of View. Cutting
the thong and removing it, found at
tached to its under side q copper plate
which had heretofore been hidden by
uhe body of the snake. and on one side
of it was scratched: ID. Boone, April
Is, 1779.' l split the log in two, and
near the lower end Of the hollow |
found where there had once been an
opening, but long years ago it had been
CLOSED up with plug made of oak wood,
about and over which the maple had
grown until it was almost concealed.
The dead appearance of the small por-
ton visible OF >,e oak plug was all that
called my attention to its existence. My
theory of the matter is this: Daniel
Boone, many years ago, on the date re-
corded on the piece of copper, caught
the snake, then young and small, fast
:ened the copper plate about its neck
and imprisoned it in the hollow of the
tree by means of the oak plug, where
his snakeship had remained until the
day delivered him to free air and sun
light again. "-OD1aha Bee.

About Dairymen.

Chicago has a milkman named Schalk.
A milkman by any other name would
doctor his milk just the same.-7cros
SitfiRgs.
This talk about impure milk may he
somewhat exaggerated after all. Consid-
citing the quantity of Schuylkill water,
how can we ask the milkmen to give
MS faultless goods '-Philadelphia Meas.
Milkmen are emigrating in large num-
bers to Minnesota. The State is said to
have 1000 Understandable COurier-JOur-
nal.
A dairyman near TuscOn committed su-
icide last week because water was 50
scarce round there that there was no
profit in the milk business.-San Francis
co Call.
A milkman who has shipped cans of
milk over certain railroad for years
thinks that when he travels the railroad
officials ought to 'chalk his hat" especi-
ally as the road is "watered stock. Per-
haps he could travel on "a milk ticket, see
ing that his route lies along the milky
whey Chicago San.
