Bookkeeping in Florida.

The North American Bee-keepers' Society
held its nineteenth convention in Columbus,
o., on Oct. 3 and 4. The reports of the
proceedings in the american Bee Journal
show that J. Y. Detwiler rehearSed the
trouble that had befallen the Florida bee
keepers Tho frost of 1886 had injured the
mangrove 1t had recovered in a measure
and was beginning to yield. This year he
had 1000 pounds from forty colonies.
Large black ants give much trouble. They
work at night and sometimes destroy fell
colonies Mr.. Detwiler preferred TO keep
bees in the north, even with the risks of
wintering, to keeping them in Florida;
but he liked the climate Of Florida; his
home is there and he should stay.
Prof. q. w. Webster Of Florida read an
essay about bee keeping in his state, giving
much information concerning the trees and
plants that yield honey plentifully, and
something about the Heterogeneous that
had to be faced. Here are a few extracts
from his paper: Our own apiaries Of about
forty colonies are located on high pine land.
Our first surplus honey is from the spruce
pine in January and February. In Feb
April theandromeda. Two or three weeks
later, in the month of May, comes our best
yield from gallberry and palmetto, which
closes The season as far as surplus is con-
cerned. During April and May the green
dragonfy is very destructive to bees; some
times hundreds of them may be seen around
the apiary, darting in every direction,
seizing the bees as they return heavily laden,
and devouring them at their leisure as they
fly about; and no doubt they get many
young queens during their mating flight
There is about as much trouble in wlnterlng
bees here as there is in northern states,
owing, think, 10 the many mild days dur
ing the winter. which tempt bees abroad
when there is nothing for them to get. The
bees become chilled or worn out and fail TO
return. Our experience here has been
yield from 40 10 so pounds Of extracted
honey per colony, the seasons varying as
they are cold or warm, wet or dry.

Persimmon Beer.

Prof Stelle, agricultural editor of the
Mobile Register, has lately been giving in
teresting facts about the southern persim-
mon. Here are instructions about MAXIM
persimmon beer, that beats saloon beer.
DIR. Porcher, in his work entitled "Re-
sources of Southern Fields and Forests, -
gives several recipes for making persim-
mon beer. One of them directs to gather
the persimmons perfectly ripe and free from
roughness. Work them into large loaves
with wheat bran, enough of the latter tc
convert the mass into stiff dough Bake
thoroughly in an oven until dry and brown
but not burned. These loaves will keep
throughout the winter, and are ready for
use at any time. They may be kept well
through the next summer by rebaking &C.
casionally to dry out any moisture they
may have accumulated.
In making the beer you pulverize the
loaves, say one busheI Pour upon the mea
five gallons Of cold water and let stand two
days, at the end of which time press out
the water, or squeeze it out through sack
Bring to boil, add a little hop yeast whe
cool. and then let stand to ferment This
makes very strong beer. w. Gilmore
Sims, the author, wrote that persimmon
beer made after this formula and bottled
when fermentation is over, equals in quality
the best sparkling Jersey champagne"
An old copy Of the Southern CultiUdtor
gives a formula for making persimmon
beer which is vouched for as hrst-class.
Gather bushel Of good ripe persimmons,
mash and mix with one peck of wheat
bran. Make into loaves and bake. Break
loaves into suitable vessel and add six gal
Ions of water and one or two ounces OF
hops. Keep in a warm room to ferment
When fermentation has subsidized strain off
the beer and put it into strong bottles-cork
we'll Put away in cool place, and the
bear will keep perfectly good for twelve
months.

lied 5000 last season, was sacrificed to the
close planting policy, says writer in the
American AgricuituriSt The trees,
which one year ago showed evidence OF
ealth and vigor, have assumed sickly
appearance. Cutting out every alternate
tree, with a liberal dressing of fertilizers,
will save the orchard if the owner has the
intelligence and nerve TO do it at once But
what loss to the soil, this production of
$50 trees which can only be "cut down and
cast into the fire." And "the survival of the
fittest" will be set back two years, at least,
by this plan of planting and then thinning
an orchard.
The apple tree demands rich, moist soil.
If these conditions are furnished, it as
sumes large proportions and gives immense
yields. Why, then, dwarf, starve and
mutilates Is it not better to have five
thrifty trees, producing so bushels Of
healthy, fine fruit than so trees with so of
wormy, knotty, gnarly specimens, fit only
for pigs and thieving Migrants! In the lat
ter instance the soil is taxed to produce the
wood of so trees instead Of five The cost
OF purchasing planting, ETC., all contributes
toward the swelling contrast in the amount
paid out. In the first instance you will be
rewarded with satisfactory results: in the
latter there will be disappointment, loss of
time and money, and failure to realize
when your orchard comes in bearing. The
same results, comparatively, though not 50
rapidly, manifest themselves with regard to
the vine Too close planting Nil! 500 er or
later result disastrousy. The proper dis
lance for setting apple trees is from 30 to 40
feet; for the grape, not less than IA or IS feet
for vigorous growing vines. OF course,
varieties, methods of training, root prun-
ing, top dressing, etc., will modify these
figures with regard to the grape vine; but
better have them too far apart than too
closely crowded.

WHAT A NoRTHER IS LIKE.
Mariners Who Sail in the Gulf of Mex
leo Know All About Them.


From the Neio York Tribune.
"From the reports received about the
'northersn along the gulf coast of Mexico
from Nov. 20 to 20, it appears that that
quarter of the globe has to answer in part
for the storm which so alarmed business
me living out of town three weeks ago.
Capt. John Deaken, who saw service
as an officer in the navy during
the civil war, and now commands
the steamship City of Alexandria of the
Ward hne, and is one of the oldest of the
small number of American steamship cap
tains, had an interesting experience of six
days of "northers" in the harbor Of Vera
Cruz between the above dates.
Capt Deaken is modest man when
speaking Of his own experience at sea, but
he has seen some Of the worst storms that
ever visited the neighborhood of Cape
Hatteras, the Bermudas, or along the At
lantic or Gulf coast. His long experience in
him competent to describe a norther in all
its details. Asked TO define one of full de-
velopments he said:

Well Get the Road.

Despite the desperate efforts Of
our Mexico neighbors, the outlook
seems to be favorable for Centralia
securing the new railroad.
The route by way of Centralia
is the shortest, most direct and least
costly. The grade is light, and the
natural advantages we offer more
than offsets the money inducements
advanced by Mexico. Our people
are keeping quiet at present. AT
the proper time we will be heard
from.-Centralia Guard.
In the same issue of the Guard
in which the above appeared, the
following Is found:
The citizens and newspapers OF
Mexico are making a determined
effort to prevent the new railroad
from coming to Centralia. We are
sorry to see this, especially as there
seems to be no occasion for such q
course. Centralia has made no eff
fort to secure the new road, has
never been consulted about it, nor
has any proposition been submitted
to the people. The whole scheme
seems to be a kind of bluff game to
scare the people of Mexico into sub
seribing money. This is the usual
programme. Our people would
like to have the road, but until
some sort of proposition is submit
ted we are out of the arrangement.
We are not working against Mexi-
co. IF they succeed in securing
the road, well and good, it win
not hurt Centralia.

From the Springfield Leader,


At the meeting of the G., IL. Il

new system of proceeding was in

upon. and be prepared to make
their report next Wednesday at 10
q. M, at the seeretary's office.
On behalf of the committee and
all who are interested in the well
fare and progress of Springfield,
the Leader would suggest that every
person who intends to contribute to
this fund will have made up his
mind as Is how much he a afford
to give and thus avoid the unneces-
sary lapse of time that is caused by
considering the question after the
solicitor has made his call. Prompt
action Is the life of every successful
issue, since by it much time is
saved that otherwise would be lost
and unity is preserved. The popu-
lar verdict is that we want the road
and that the amount asked is rea-
sonable, when its untold benefits
to Il city are considered. The
time is at hand when every citizen
can show to his neighbor and as
soeiate what stuff he is made of,
and it will be seen that most Of
them will generously perform the
duty they owe to themselves, their
family, their neighbors, their city
and their country. We have con.
fidenee that this. obligation by our
people will be scrupulously OBJ.
