Ocala Exposition.

Every one interested in Florida's pro-
ductions will read with pleasure the pre-
MUM list of the Ocala Exposition in an
other column. 1t is one OF the most lib
eral and covers more ground than any
such list ever offered in the State. Every
effort possible has been made to prevent
any feeling of prejudice, and to assure the
public that each exhibit would rest wholly
on it's own merits, and the premiums
awarded accordingly. Under the present
arrangement ''individuaP' exhibits will be
counted as a part of the county display,
and thus help to secure the first prize for
the county and at the same time compete
for any individual premiums that may be
offered. No better advertisement could
be given county than to make a good
display of it's productions, and it should
include verything from the native woods
to the handiwork of the mothers and
daughters of the county. The premiums
offered are an incentive to produce the best
and those who make a thorough and hon
est effort will not only be doing their
county a good turn but are more than
likely to help their financial condition.
We are instructed to say that in
connection with the exposition the MANA
gers have cleared, fertilized and otherwise
prepared two acres of ground on which
parties having fruit trees to exhibit, can
secure space and no commission will be
charged on sale. rare chance for our

making sugar will cease to pay, for each
year the margin of profit decreases, and
it behOoves those who are most inter-
ested to seek the solution of the problem
at an early date. s"#
The manufacture of sugar should be
divorced from the culture of cane, and the
central factory system adopted. 1T is
bound to come in the end, for the planters
will be compelled, in order to save them
selves, to put up the most improved ma
chinery and best mechanical devices to
extract the saccharine matter, and not
one in hundred has the money to do it.
of planters, or of capitalists, can easily
erect the needed machinery and can make
money by purchasing the cane from the
agriculturists, who, in turn, will be re-
lieved of a considerable burden, and will
at once feel the beneficial effects of the
change.
A planter today is paying outrageous
interest on his money to his merchant,
between 20 and 30 per cent, and thus
heavily taxed he canro t improve his sugar
house nor pay the same attention to The
cultivation of his crop which he could
otherwise do. The taking off the crop is
what costs, and cut off the expenses of
the planter by half, he will be more inde-
pendent, more likely to obtain money at
reasonable rates, and be able to cultivate
his crop in a thorough and efficient man
ner
The system will greatly tend to increase
the culture of cane and the ultimate pro-
duction of sugar, for every farmer owning
a few acres would raise cane and make
money by selling it to the factory.
The greatest drawback to the system
would be that those controlling the fac
tories might be able to rr-.nIate the price
of cane, but that could be obviated by
the planters themselves holding the stock

Plant Protecting.
nurSerynen,

Editor Florida Agrculturist:
Having quite number of tropical plants, am
anxious to know the best method of protecting
them from the effects of frost-methods not too
expensive yet effective. Will some of your read
ers kindly answer this query?F
will givea somewhat singular case in relation to
this subject and ask for the explanation ofit-its
logical why and wherefore. Last winter Mr.. j. D.
Murphy, of Tarpon Springs, had two fine young
Alligator pear trees, which he wished to save, in
TACT from the frost. Over one he placed thick,
heavy carpet, which covered it completely down
to the ground. Over the other was put similar
piece of carpeting, but which did not reach the
grond by twelve or eighteen inches
The former was frozen stiff and killed outright.
the latter scarcely snged, for the reason as Mr..
M. argues that it had free circulation of the air
around it's trunk If this be the correct reason,
which l doubt, what is the scientific explanation
of it? w.
Oakland Fla.
We are of the opinion that the reason
that one of the plants was frozen and the
other not, could be accounted for by the
proximity of the covering to the plant.
All modes OF protecting plants should be
based on the principal of ra diation.
Any body or substance placed in a temper
ature colder than itself, radiates it's heat
in straight lines, and when these bodies
or substances are surrounded by air the
lines of heat will be reflected back upon
the body from which they emenate by the
slightest covering, if fthecovering is nottoo
close to the body or plant. If the cover
ing touches the plant or is too close to it,
the heat will pass through it and be radi-
ated from it's surface. For this reason
plant protectors should enclose suffi-
cient quantity of air to reflect back the
heat to the plant. In no case and at no
point should the protector touch the
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-12-04

plant. We do not think it makes any
material difference whether or not the
covering reached the ground or allows
circulation between it and the surface,
but are rather inclined to think that t
the protector reached the ground and
completely enveloped the plant, in no case
touching it, but having sufficient space
between the plant and the protector for
radiation, that it would be more reli-
able plan than to leave an open space be-
tween the bottom of the protector and
the surface of the ground.
1t must be remembered that certain
soils generate less heat than others, and
for this reason tender plants should be
set only in dry, well drained soil. The
application of manures should also be
studied in this connection, for there can
be no doubt that rich soils and those
Astounding in animal and vegetable mat
ter are less liable to change their temper
allure than those devoid of it, for the de-
composition of those elements give

of orange growers and shippers. The
subject OF growing oranges has been thor

to give attention to the matter of getting
fruit to market in good condition.
That our orange growers annually sac
rifice thousands OF dollarr by the careless
manner in which they pick, pack and ship
their fruit is unquestioned, and to discuss
the best methods in reference to this bus
mess will be the mission ofourissue of the

warmth to the soil.
Central Sugar Factories in Florida.
One great drawback to the develop
ment of the sugar industry in our State,
is the great amount of capital necessary
to erect sugar houses orfactories. To OBJ
tain the best results from cane it is neces-
sary to have the best and most improved
machinery, which is very expensive. And
again the machinery should be operated
by experienced men who thoroughly
understand every detail of the sugar
making business. All of this, in con-
nection with the expense of produc-
ing the raw material, is consider
ably beyond the means of the av-
erage farmer, and as result few OF
them have gone into the business as ex-
tensively as they would have done had
they been relieved of the expense of erect
ing sugar mills. Capitalists are develop
ing the industry on quite an extensive
scale in South Florida and one company
in the Kissimmee Valley expects to make
more than half million pounds of sugar
from it's cane this year. This we are glad
to see, and it is no doubt profitable in
vestment for the capitalists, but it is the
poor farmer or the one of only moderate
means who deserves our consideration
the capitalist will look out for himself
every time, and does notneed either assis-
tance or advice. The establishment of
central factories we think is the only plan
by which the sugar industry can be devel-
oped into anything like the magnitude it
deserves. Ii a central factory was located
at different points in the sections of the
State suitable for cane growing, every
farmer could have field of sugar cane
ranging in size from five to one hundred
acres according to his means. The cane
could be harvested and hauled to the mill
and made into sugar or syrup, for a GER
tain per cent. of the yield, in the same
way that toll is paid at the grist mill.
Or he could sell his cane for cash at so
much per ton at the MILL
The best plan, in our opinion, is to es-
tablish these mills on the cooperative
plan, and let every cane grower in the dis
trict have an interest in the mill and
voice in it's management.
Central factories have attracted the at
tention of cane growers in other sugar
producing countries, and many of the
best minds are OF the opinion that even
where the industry is fully developed the
central factory system promises the best
results, for the reason that a factory
which consumes thousand tons of cane
can beoperated, proportionately, cheaper
than one which only consumes hundred
tons.
Speaking on this subject the Houma
Courier says that the time is fast ap.

Keep Manure Near the Surface.

A bulletin from the New Hampshire Ex-
pertinent Station says: If manure is to
be stored and all applied at one time,
either in the spring or fall, it should be
kept under cover, the heaps well leveled
down and hogs kept on it. In this way it
is packed. solid and the. air largely exclud-
ed this prevents fermentation to a large
extent, and thus preserves the nitrogen
1t is we'll known that sheep manure, so
long as it lies in the pen is packed so solid
that no fermentation takes place, but as
soon as thrown into a pile it quickly
cheats" and throws off strong gases This
is caused by the access of air, and the
same is true of all manures A liberal use
OF absorbents is always to be recommend
ed, and when available there is nothing
better than saWdust; not that the saw
dust in itself contains much thatis useful.
but it readily takes up the liquids. and
makes the manure easy to spread Muck
when well dried is valuable absorbent.
Straw and meadow hay are much used,
but unless of very poor quality they can
be put to much better use.
AS general rule manure should not be
plowed in deeply; more manure is lost by
burying too deeply than by exposure to
the air, and if it we're possible to mix
evenly the whole OF the manure with the
first three inches of surface soil, it would
be the best possible position for the ordi-
nary crops. Every rain tends to carry the
nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash
down into the soil, and the action of the
air near the surface tends to render avail
able the unavailable parts of the manure,
but if deeply plowedin this decomposition
is slow and often unsatisfactory

NOT A BIT OF IT.

Two OF three papers with a woman suf-
frage leaning are inclined to think the
EAGLE treatment of the female Iffrage
convention coarse and brutal If any
body imagines that that class Of women
can be moved by honeyed words or i'm
pressed by sentimental expressions, they
are mistaken. To attempt to move or
to convince them by talking to them of
the amenities of social life, or of the
hunger of the home life for mother love,
would be more futile than to try to
drown duck by pouring water on its
back. Could the truth be known the
women who composed that convention
were less shocked at our language than
were many of the men who read after
us. Some of the members of the con-
vention got their bristles up and declared,
and they didn't 60 behind the door to do
it, that they felt like hunting somebody,
and they showed no hesitancv in describ-
ing the color of the individuals hair; but
that any one of them We're shocked or
had their sensibilities outraged or even
felt ashamed for either themselves or for
the editor of the EAGLE, is not among
the probabilities.
