dition. It should be somewhat laxative
and well supplied with nitrogenous ele-
ments Such foods are wheat bran, oats,
pea meal, beans and linseed meal Corn
is unsuitable for breeding ewes, as it pro-
duces fat and heat
There is no animal which responds
with better results to succulent foods than
sheep and ewes with lamb. Potatoes do
not seem to be adapted to this purpose;
turnips are natural food for ewes, as
we'll as for other sheep. Carrots are ex-
cellent, and so are beets and mangels. A
few roots or small ration of these, say
four quarts day, with bran and Iinseed
meal, will put ewes in most healthy
and vigorous condition, and at the same
time this combination of foods will tend
to promote the growth and support Of
the fetus, and when the little lamb is
born it will have the bone and strength
to help itself, and it will give far less
trouble to get it on it's legs and obtain its
sustenance from the mother.

The Care of Ewes.

American Agriculturist has the fol
lowing to say on feeding ewes:
When ewes are fed exclusively on dry
food there is danger that they will be-
come feverish and constipated. When
this condition arises they will generally
show it by lying on the ground and
stretching themselves and straining.
Sometimes they will pluck at their wooi
and show signs of distress and uneasi-
ness. When sheep are in this condition
they are not in good health to have
young They will not provide as much
milk and their udders are liable to be
caked and sore. or to show evidences OF
inflammation. There is danger that they
will not own their lambs. and the milk
will not flow freely When the udder is
sore or much inflamed, even if the eve
owns her lamb, she will refuse to let it
suck Under such circumstances the
lamb very soon becomes weak and dies
Prevention is better than cure for all
these ailments. and this lies in providing
the eve with suitable food This must
be such as not to produce feverish con-

By Florida Fruit Exchange
Review Up to and Including
December 2, 1889,

OSCStIOSI 1907
The orange market this season, up to
date, has followed the precedent of previ-
Gus years. The first fruit to go forward
was eagerly bought up atgood prices. AS
soon as the sour, green fruit reached the
consumers buying ceased, and the heavy
shipments induced by the high prices at
the opening, fell fiat, drag in the mar
ket. This green and inferior fruit, and
much of the same class senU on since,
has been slowly working off for the past
fortnight at low prices. There has been
no glut, simply an overplus of inferior
fruit for which there has been and is no
demand. First class, sweet fruit has con-
tinued to bring fair prices throughout.
This condition of market occurs every
year at the opening of the season and
will continue to be feature as long as
the growers rush their fruit into market
before it is ripe The fruit has been slow
in ripening up this season, and as con-
sequence the period of depression has
average prices have been higher this sea-
son than up to the same time last year
The market is now clearing up rapidly,
and the better grades when ripe, and put
up according to Fruit Exchange instruc-
tions, are in demand at fair prices. The
latest dispatches by wire say: "Market,
more or less depressed throughout the
week, consumers neglecting, greenish, in
ferior or decayed fruit Better feeling.
Hope for better fruit next week $3.50
top of market and $3.50 bottom" Ex-
change averages for last few days have
ranged from ST.. 80 to So. Average borne
down by heavy supply of immature and
inferior fruit.
From present outlook the Exchange
anticipates better prices by the middle of
the month, by which time the fruit going
forward will be near ripe and the market
will have gotten rid of the inferior and
immature fruit with which it is now
checked.
The. Exchange has not opened it's auc
tion sales in Jacksonville yet as prices
obtained this far have been proportion
ately much lower than in Northern mar
kets. The published reports of the sales
that have taken place here nave been IN
tirely unreliable.
The Exchange regrets to see on the
part OF those representing other agencies
and other systems of selling oranges q
disposition to color quotationsin order
to disparage prices obtained by the Ex-
change. The Exchange does not care to
advertise their agencies by retaliatory
attacks. 1t prefers that each stand upon
it's own merits and bear the burden of it's
own sayirg gs and doings. For informa-
tion of members of the Union and other
patrons who look to it's Htterances as
authority, the new department having
charge of the issuance of it's market re-
ports, state that the top prices it has
been able to give have been simply state
ments of fact-not colOred to convey a
false impression, but SO put as to givefull
and accurate information as to the mar

apt to become submerged during a wet
SPELL This theory was knocked in the
head when Mr. White built canal from
his garden to Deep Creek, getting a fall of
six feet in three quarters of a mile. He
then put in flood gate from his main
irrigating ditch, and by turning off the
water and opening the food gate the
water ran off in less than four hours.
Then Mr.. White was satisfied that he had
struck upon self irrigating and drain
ing process such as no man had ever be-
fore thought of. And there are over
5000 acres of this rich prairie land in
Mr. Whites neighborhood that can be
operated in the same manner.
The COSTS almost othing. Mr.. Whites
forty acre farm has cost him about 800.
In that garden the News reporter saw
yesterday eight miles of onions, we'll
above ground, ten miles of cabbage, or
100000 plants, 10000 fine lettuce, one
quarter of an acre of turnips, 10000
strawberry plants on the road to bios
soming, half an acre of coleraba, three
acres of English green peas (Mr. White
has been eating from this patch for
weeks,) six acres of rye, just sprouting,
six acres of oats, eight miles of carrots
and half an acre of parsley, besides few
other things. The beauty of the entire gar
den is that every variety of vegetables has
the appearance of being twins. Therows
reperfectly even everything in it's line, the
same height and there is not a bear spot
to be seen anywhere. 1t must be remem-
bered that these plants have been in
scarcely three weeks. No rain has fallen
to speak of during that time, and were
itnot for irrigation everything would have
dried up, but as it is whenever the gard
ener wants water he simply turns it on.
When the earth is moist enough to suit
him he raises the flood gate. Besides, ir-
is much better than rain. The
latter beats the fertilizer down while ir-
rigation comes from beneath and raises
it to the roots of the plant Mr.. White, as
yet, has not put a particle of fertilizer on
his plants All he used was little LIQUID
fertilizer for his Seeds
In addition to having the most re-
markable farm in the state, Mr.. White
intends to have the most comfortable
and pleasant home. He has reserved ten
acres for his house, garden and lawn. He
is now erecting one OF the rettiesthouses
that an architectcould design. The barns
and store houses will be in keeping with
his residence. South of the house Mr.
White has a young grove of ten acres,
which he intends to increase to sixty
acres. He will irrigate his entire grove
with his original process, and says that
he will bring trees in bearing into less than
hall the time ordinarily taken.

A Self Irrigating Farm.

farm, which we respectfully refer to those
situated in places where artesian wells
can be obtained:
Less than three quarters of milesouth
of Merrifeld station on the j. st. A. & H.
road, lies Rose Prairie farm, St. Johns
county, destined to become the most re-
markable truck garden the country
from the fact that it is the only piece of
land under cultivation that is operated
by the self irrigating and drainage sys-
tenn. The property is owned by Mr.. {. j.
White, who, in years gone by, logged and
built railroads through this section of the
country.
On invitation a News representative
visited Mr.. Whites place on Saturday af-
ternoon for the purpose of seeing a farm,
the description ofwhich seemed almost out
of reason. The reporter was met at the
depot by Mr.. White and Col. c. S. Mo-
sier, his neighbor. The party drove
along the county road, over Cocoa
creek, and after passing through a small
hammock that lay stretched out as far
as eye could see, the rich prairie lands of
Mr.. White.
Mr.. White originally bought $4,000
acres of this tract, nearly half of which is
of rich sandy loan soil, with clay
sub-soil from to Is inches deep. Here
and there about the tract can be seen
muck ponds for fertilizer Two months
ago Mr.. Whites place was nothing but a
small prairie. He fenced in 16O acres,
and selected 40 acres upon which to ex-
pertinent There were butfeW trees about,
and he put two mules to plow, and
turned the sod. which was covered with
thick grass knee deep. He plOwed over
the patch once more, and then set out a
large variety of seeds for plants. While
this work was going on he contracted
with an artesian we'll digger for a four
inch well. In two weeks he had flow of
800 gallons per minute at depth of 157
feet, the entire cost being 5000. Mr..
White feeling that he would be only par

gate his forty acre garden from this flow,
and while the well was being bored hehad
his garden laid off, and built bitches about
foot wide and about the sam depth at
the sides of the patches to be used for
tho growing of vegetables. These patch
es are about 4 of mile long and about
20 feet wide-simply narrow strips of
land with little bitches running all around
them.
The seeds soon developed into plants
and some of them were transplanted into
the patches before the well was completed.
The extreme end of the garden is just one
mile from the well on an air line. When
Mr.. White told his neighbors what he
proposed to do they laughed at him, so
the turning in of the water was witnessed
only by Mr.. White and his men. Mr.
White was sure of one thing; the bitches
were perfectly level and if the hard clay
sub-soil would hold the water his scheme
was asuccess. The water was turned into
the main canal late one evening about
four weeks ago, and Mr. White retired,
but was up early the next morning to in

was astonished to see about inches of

Incendiarism combined with burglary has
broken loose in the lower part Of Berks and
in Lancaster County, Penn. A few nights
ago public building at Wrightsville and
five barns were set on fire almost simultane-

of Allen Correl, near Barnesville, was like
wise burned. The Boas lumber yards have
