Nothing will grow and prosper in Flor
ida unless the land is prepared and culti-
waited.
A peck of acOrns will make an orange
grove as quick as peck of orange seed
without cultivation. But still the new
conner knows better and will only learn
by experience He wants all the laws
framed as they were in the State he came
from: is strong advocate of the no-fence
law and opposed to woods burning, and
throws all the limbs and trash over his
ience, and the woods get on fire from
lightning or some camp, and burns his
house, fence and trees, when, if he had
protected his fence by clearing around it
no injury would have resulted from forest
fires.
The general impression is that stock
men burn the woods; as a general thing
they are opposed to woods burning, it is
done by persons who fire them to see them
burn, from lightning, camps, etc.

OH the contrary, my grove is rich, my

both practicable and cheap. Indeed, when
once begun, like the fellow having black
berries, "easier than not"
Many other spots make quite as good
showing, and these pretty green patch
es, looking SO fresh, and clean, and cool,
and restful to the eye, makes one marvel
what a paradise DeLand would be with
all it's streets covered with green grass,
it's sidewalks heavily shaded, and it's front
yards filed with the fairest of Southern
flowers.
And, it is evident from presentprOgress
that this is to be the final outcome,
whether we will or not, but very much
may be done to systematic and hasten
it. The unwonted vigor of patches about
horseracks indicates what little ferti1iz-
ing matter will do for it, and how very
cheaply we may convert glaring sand into
smiling sward.
All this affords a pointer to the immi-
grafton society.
If we can make ourselves comfortables
and our homes attractive, others will
wish to share the opportunities with us,
and little money SO spent will go far
ther than any amount of hired inspec-
ton with nothing to show.

About Selecting a Home.


1t is amusing to man who has resided
in Florida for years to watch the new
comers select homes. They are all hunt
ing scenery and water fronts. They care
nothing for the growth or the soil. and
will hunt for days over many nice loca-
tions until he finds lake in scrub or
sand hill, and then he is captivated and
buys regardless of price or the poverty of
the soil, as he has found water front
and can have beautiful scenery looking
across that lake at another fellow who
likewise has water front. They are not
particular about churches, schools, trans
portation. or look around to see if any
one has lands similar that will produce
anything. They are in raptures, write
home to their friends that they are hap
py, having secured water front and
beautiful scenery.
He has few thousand dollars left after
buying his water front, and he contracts
for and has a two thousand dollar-house
built; buys a boat, has a boat house
built and spends the most of his time
fishing. He buys several hundred fine
budded orange trees, he has them planted
after he has all the timberc cut and burned
He never has the land plowed or anything
else done to help the trees; they turn yell
low and the cattle eat off the buds, as he
has only forks put up and poles put in
them for a fence. Soon all of his money
is spent and he begins advocating a no
fence law, and laughs at the manner in
which the old Floridian plants and culti-
Yates. He brings his Northern ideas with
him and retains them until his money is
gone, and will only learn in the school of
experience
This is not an isolated case, but there
are hundreds similar.
The writer was recently talking with a
man from Maine; he said that the people
of Florida knew nothing about farming;
that he intended to show them how to
farm. He spent several thousand dol
lars, and now he adopts the Florida plan,
and gives up all of his sub-soil plows
The same man planted a large acreage in
castor beans in the wire grass, had alarge
barn built, bought thrasher to clean
them, sacks to ship them in and never
made bean stalks and beans enough to
fill one-half OF the sacks. He is now a
poorer but wiser man.
The climate of Florida has no equal,
but good living cannot be made on eli
mate, water fronts and beautiful scenery.

changeable, is the true philosophy of life.
The doing or not doing of this marks all
the difference that lies between success
and failure.
Aftr buying my place, some six years
ago, discovered half dozen patches of
Bermuda grass within the grove, varying
in size from saddle blanket to that of
bed quilt. Having read that Bermuda
grass was the best thing yet found for
holding Mississippi levee, and having
witnessed the resistless force of that tur-
bulent stream at food tide, | deemed any
thing dangerous which could make
show of holding it. And so | instructed
my plowman to spend any time required
for picking out every root and joint, and
then stand by the fire until he should see
it consumed. But if the matter ever again
entered his mind the outcome did not IN
dicate it. In the end it cost me fifty-six
dollars, cash, not to mention some back
ache and bad talk, to get rid OF it.
Two years ago | discovered patch of
it just east OF my office which good
sized hat would have covered. Dinner
was ready, and am specially prompt on
such occasions, but entertained such
antipathy to Bermuda grass that | dug
it out at once and cast it into the street.
Now, there is a mat Of grass the width OF
the lot, and extending to the driveway,
and is fast encroaching upon that. Like
wise, all over town are isolated patches
of it, looking as fresh and green as a big
bay tree, and as cheerful as an unwelcome
guest That it makes the best and pret-
tiest lawn in the world goes withoutques-
tion That it is the easiest to get, and
the hardest to be rid of, is equally true.
To plow or dig it only makes it laugh

tiplies it's roots and adds to it's pent up
vigor and final ability to run rampant
when the peas are gone. Nothing but

Five years ago chief complaint urged
against Florida was, it's lack ofany green
sward. In i've years more the difficulty
of getting rid of it will be the burden of
complaint, unless the lazy, the shiftless
and the needless are walked up by some
miraculous power or other force greater
than has ever yet touched them
A grass that takes hold with such avid
ity, and hangs on with so much perth
nacity, will never be curbed by any sort of
makeshift, and we had as well knowwhat
we are dealing with, and deal according
ly. My idea is to dig a trench four inches
wide and sixteen inches deep along the
line of fence; and fill it with mortar con-
tanning some cement, on which a broad
base board should be imbeded to prevent
crawling through or climbing over In
