Hundreds of People Trying to Work
It-Only Two in the City Succeed.
Hundreds of little boxes were distributed
all over the city few days ago by the well
known clothing firm of Appel & Schaul as
an advertisement, and were called the
AMT Rattle Puzzle" The puzzle consisted
Of a box about two inches long, and resem-
bled patent pill box They we're neatly
covered with paper and tightly sealed, and
when shaken would rattle as II containing
couple Of mills. The wrapper contained
the following: Commitments of Appel e.

first party who shows us how to do this
trick, without having been told, SIS worth

box any way without making 1t rattle. 1t

Nearly every one who received the boxes
declared, after shaking and throwing it in

this, too, to my mind is evidence enough
of the gold waiting just at the surface for
somebody to pocket, for Capt. Roses OBJ
servations are not outputs of a wild i'm
aginatiOn. Besides this, the work of
drainage is quietly progressing in smaller
proportions in a number of other locali-
ties in South Florida and will be materi-
ally added to-for the swamp lands are
here, with fall enough to dry them-until
such an opportunity for production
will be opened up as none of our sister
States can ever dream of. And were it
possible for South and Central America,
with Mexico mixed in, to eclipse us it is
not at all prospective for the next thous-
and years for several reasons.
Here are such opportunities already
the face of the earth dare boast Of espec-
tally where all the circumstances favora-
BILE and positively necessary in order to
the successful production of such noble
products, as our soil is so naturally
adapted to. The land is here, and if all
of it is not already rich enough to produce
what we want, and all we want, the con-
stituents of just such fertilizers as we
need are now sleeping in our earth, our
waters and our woods, waiting to be
worked up and wisely and equally distri-

misers could covet; and from the features
already stepping boldly to thefrontin the
line of scientific Investigation and cultiva-
ton of soil in Florida, see no cause to
doubt the certainty of the best modes of
culture put fairly to the test at an early
day. And what more can we ask in order
to secure the grandest success we cannot
imagine.
Yes, we have got the land, rich and
poor, and the fertilizers to make the poor
rich we've got the timber, we've got the
water around, in and above the dirt and
sand in such convenience and abundance
as no other land can boast Off we can
just keep the fish out of the pumps and
pipes, so we can raise and distribute it,
We have got the health say it on thir-
ty-one years experience in the State, not
having spent two weeks out of the State
all put together since the winter of 1857
So We have the climate for perpetual
outdoor exercise and labor, for [ heard
one Jew tell another, raw from Russia
that we could ''labor in Florida thirteen
months in the year." And we have every
thing else that any reas onable people

proportions one of the egrandestindustries

''pi" and grab up the hoe helve and make
the dirt fly.
But why talk about any other plant or
plants to extract sugar from that is or
can be grown in Florida, and especially
when the sweet cane is SO valuable in it's
crude state for the use of both man and
beast-giving fat and health to every
thing that eats it, If you wish your
horses and mules, hogs and cattle to be
healthy and get fat, and stay fat, feed
them on sweet cane. 1t is both tonic
and flesh producer for man and beast. No
season of the year is looked to more
eagerly and longed for more intensely
than the cane grinding season by all the
children who have spent a winter in Flor
ida, frequenting at leisure cane fields and
sugar mills. All learn to love it dearly
on one or two repetitions. And if each
State in the Union should offer amilion
dollars for the best tonic on the following
test no doubt Florida cane juice would
get it, Let each State select 1000 puny
children, allowing Florida's to be able
dozen old women to follow them up, turn
into cane patch and drive them out,
and to lead them to the juice tub and
drive them away, yet letting all at will
use all they want day and night for two
months while the other States each select
board of the best skilled physicians, to
choose each their own tonic and see to
dosing and giving for the same length of
time Yes, Mr.. Editor, Florida would
take the premium. No family in any
sweet cane locality on earth should ever
dream of doing without a cane patch at
any ordinary cost or trouble. Hundreds
of mothers now live in South Flori-
da, if not all over the State, who would
testify to the fact that, in addition to the
health benefits of the children, no
other occupation will so completely quiet
and captivate a family of puny, restless
children like the cane chewing exercise.
O what a relief to a care-worn, over
worked, worn down mother to be blessed
with cane patch each fall and winterfor
a month or two to turn thechildren into.
What a feast to her head and her heart,
her hands and her feet, to get a few hours
respite each day by getting them off, with
jack-knives in hand, to the cane patch.
Mothers need few hours rest in quar-
ter of century any way See nextweek's

For THE FLORIDA AGRIo ULTURIsT
Summer Gardening in Florida.

AS this is the season for planting vege-
tables, and some of your correspondents
request that those having experience in
growing vegetables make suggestions as
to method and of kinds that prosper with
us, will endeavor to make few sugges-
tions.
AS soon as the rainy season begins the
land should be prepared by blowing and
fertilizing, and after the first big rains
are over and the rain commences again
| always plant and if the land is well
drained they do not scald or die. | inva-
riably commence in j Tune and continue on
when the seasons are favorable, and al
ways have vegetables before any one, as
most persons wait until August or Sep
tember before planting.
The kind plant is cabbage, rutabaga,
turnips, okra, csuliflower, cucumbers,
squash, radish, collards and tomatoes.
My radishes and turnips are now large
enough to have plenty of green's; the Gu
cumbers and tomatoes are blooming and
the rutabagas are large enough to trans
plant, and they should always be trans
planted, so as to have them straight and
in the ground sufficient depth
Insects do not trouble any of them ex-
cept the cucumber; a small green worm
gets into the bud and ruins them if they
are not picked off. | usually catch them
and mash their heads on stump roots, or
leave them exposed to the top leaves and
soon the little sparrows find them, and
then they keepthem off. A simple remedy
is to burn palmetto roots and sprinkle
the ashes on them, and the worms do not
appear again.
The vegetables that are enumerated
above all grow fine. The past season
made as fine cucumbers as evers saw grow.
The White Spine doesthe best. Mrs Mamie
King said that mine were superior to
those grown at Tallahassee. Rutabagas
would weigh twenty pounds
always plant vegetables in rows, so
can plow them; the land must be stirred
often to have good results.
Vegetables would be plentiful enough
every month in the year if we could have
rain. Plenty of rain is much more essen
tial than fertilizers. One hundred and

Sugar Cane and It's Uses.-No. 2.
Having referred the readers of the AG-
RICULTURIsT to this weeks number for
more on the sugar interests in South
Florida, | will call their attention to
little of what has been done and what is
now being done in different localities here
In the first place let me call their atten-
tion to what has been and is now being
done at the ST. Cloud sugar works-not
that | intend to particularize, for that is
not necessary. Enough has been done
there by drainage and redemption OF
Florida overhowed lands, and one crop
to convince all skeptics of what's evident
ing such lands. And the large geamount of
machinery already employed by the Diss-
ton Company shows too plainly that
some of our wisest millionaires see mil
lions of gold cropping out of Florida dirt.
Corroborative of this feature see in this
weeks number of the Times-Union that
Capt Rose, the man the bull educated, is
adding a second mill at ST. Cloud
Here is a strong and unmistakable
pointer to the fact that what Mr.. DisstOn
and party stated on visit there a few
months back was not feint. On visiting
and examining their improvements and
investments they declared evident Salts
faction, and left full OF hopefor the future.
The department. at Okeechobee, too, has
done noble work, and is laying plans
and making surveys east, which bespeaks
millions for South Florida. Capt. Barry
Hendry is with them, and you can plank
down your bottom dollar on him doing
his best; and better than ''his best'' has
-er planted Jacob-staff in an alliga-
-or's back in South Florida.
Next, / learn that near Davenport, in
Polk county, an immense saw grass
swamp is under drainage, for which some
claim superiority in some particulars to
the ST. Cloud prospects.
And in full view of where plow my
quill, can see, through window, at two
miles distance across Lake Clinch Capt.
Childer's force opening the canal between
Crooked and Clinch lakes, and who say
they will start the water in about a
month This, according to expectations,
is to relieve 1,500 acres, more or less.

Capt. Rose, I learned, if the bull had not
given him diploma, had a grand plan
on the brain for this enterprise. And
