Curiosity of Vegetable Growth.

Rev. w. p. Gardner has made dis
covery in regard to the root growth of the
tall palmetto, which is, to say the least,
quite curious. Perhaps it has been made
before, but quite probably not. Mr..
Gardner, in digging up a number of
small ones on his grounds, found that in
every instance the roots were all of hori-
zontal growth and all on the north side
of the plant; not single root growing on
the other side, nor is there single tap
root descending downward. The lower
extremity of the future trunk is series
of consecutive sheaths or spathes, as
smooth as the skin of turnip, around
the bottom of the south side. Possibly
this may not continue to be the form
of growth when the palmetto gets its
full size of trunk; but it appears to be
entirely uniform with the young trees

Sheen Husbandry in Florida.

The sheep of the State have increased
about 25 per cent. in the past five years,
over the number in $780, This has been
q natural increase, few if any having
been imported. The climate of the State
is so mild and equable that lambs may be
dropped at any season. of the year. Con-
sequently it so happens that eve may

months. On the dry lands the old sheep
and lambs are very healthful; and the
fleeces are heavy with an even staple, the
food being about the same during the
year. The climate of the State is not
warmer than the regions OF Greece and
Spain where the finest merinos have
been perfected; therefore it is safe to
conclude that similar fine wooled sheep
may be reared in Florida. In some coun-
ties sheep have been kept since the first
settlement, and soon after the cession to
the United States. No Serious diseases
have ever prevailed among them, and
they appear to be free from diseases OF
the lungs. They feed and fatten upon
the coarse natural grasses of the State,
which the neat cattle and horses reject;
thus they find an abundance at all sea-
sons of the year. Their enemies are the
half-wild hogs and the miserable ours
that abound here, as elsewhere, among
the lowest classes of inhabitants. The
heeces are not any more liable to be-
come foul from burrs than in any other
countries where sheep feed on the range.
The burr bearing plants are in all cases
those that the sheep search for and eat,
before the burrs form, and if they are ex-
cluded from the cultivated fields they
will not come in contact with very bad
burrs.
Probably the best mode of sheep-hus-
bandry would be to keep fiocks of sever
al hundreds OF high grades, under the
care of shepherd and his dogs; to fold
them in movable pens on the titled lands
at night, to save their valuable manure.
The shepherd could have donkey to car
ry his tent, provisions and water, as is
done by the shepherds on the plains OF
the West. Such a donkey will never
leave the company of the man and flock
if it receives kind treatment. There is
scarcely doubt but that flock of sheep
thus kept, by man who is raising corn,
cotton, or vegetables, would be very
profitable.-J. q. K, IN Weekly Times.

Bracket is concerned Florida received
full justice. His calm, critical, unbiased
judgment, sharpened and polished by
long experience and study, was not al
lowed to make verdict on the value of
the fruits exhibited, but it was decided
by machinery built before.
Again | say, the wrath and discomfit-
ure of Mr.. Elliott gives me serene satis-
faction, for believe him to be man Of
sense enough to (on careful thought) put
the trouble where it really belongs, not
on the Judges, but on dny scale at all
that will in the least interfere with the
experience, skill, taste and honesty Of
competent judges. If we have any hor-
ticulturists in Florida who are competent
to tell whether an orange is good to eat
or not, let us appoint them judges and
abide their decision. If we have not
such, then let us all go home from the fair
and study our horticultural lessons.

Scale for Testing Oranges.

Editor of The Florida Agriculturist:
Last week l was reading an article in
the Florida Dispatch, from Mr.. Elliott,
complaining that the judges on fruits at
New Orleans had not adopted the Flori-
ola scale of points for judging fruits, but
had made a scale of their own, which
Disseminated against Florida and in
favor of California. In the next issue
the same writer renews his complaints,
and uses such words as ''jugglery' and
s'jockeying, in connection with the
work of the judges.
Now, this wrath and discontinue of
Mr.. Elliott gives me solid satisfaction,
for the reason that / hope he may there
by be led to think carefully upon the
supreme folly of attempting to judge
fruits by 0ny scale of points, and to look
candidlv at the fact that the Florida
scale is the very acme of ridiculous non
sense. The scale adopted by the judges
is bad, but the Florida scale is worse.
In looking over the scale of points
adopted by the New Orleans judges, we
can see that at least they had given the
subject enough thought to discover that
all the different points to be considered
were not of the same Importance, and
consequently should not have the same
weight in the scale. They have got far
enough to notice that the number of
seed is not of as much consequence as
sweetness and vinous flavor. But not
so our Florida scale. The absence of
seed is of as much Importance as vinous
flavor; the smoothness of peel and thin
ness of peel combined count for double
as much as sweetness. Could anything
be more absurd? Now, as an example,
we will take two imaginary, but not i'm
possible, oranges, and judge them by
the Florida scale. Orange No. is tritle

ANCIENT PHILOSOPHERS ON EARTH
oUAKEs.--Anaxagoras, the Rhodian, held
that earthquakes are nothing but sort
of cosmic fiatulence-winds which have
strayed into caverns, where they cannot
find an outlet. Aristotle ascribed them
to vapors generated by the infiltration of
water through the assures of rocky sea
bottom; and Pliny, to the pressure of air
in deep caves, confined and reacting
against the collapse of superintendent
rock strata. But the most ingenious ex-
PLANTATION was offered by st. Thomas, of
Aquinas, who suggested that earthquakes
may be caused by the struggles of de-
funct misbelievers trying to escape (by
simultaneous stampede, perhaps, J from
pit Of torment.
