Advantages of Fertilizing.

Our South Florida people are disposed
to complain sometimes because they are
compelled to fertilize SO heavily in order
to produce profitable crops. They may
console themselves with the reflections
that is system that every section of the
country will have to resort to in the
course of time. And it is the opinion of
those who have had years of experience
in the matter of purchasing and applying
commercial fertilizers that it pays in the
long run to do it rather than to let their
crops suffer and their soil become impov-
erished. In an essay recently read before
a meeting of farmers, Mr.. L. B. Miller
said that commercial fertilizers are not
now the standby of any particular section
of the country but are rapidly coming
into quite general use everywhere. They
are being introduced even as far west as
Kansas. Barns may have been moved
because it was thought cheaper to move
them than to move hemanure, but that
day has passed. Now it is thought cheap
er to move the manure, because the ma
nure is needed on the land. Everybody
needs manure, and one of the saddest
facts that confronts us is that so many

Only a Matter of Economy.

After reading the statement in a. recent
issue of the AGRICULTURIST to the effect
that potato vines made good hay, a sub
scriber wishes to know what advantage it
possesses over other hay
We are not aware that it has any ad-
vantage peculiar to itself, and the saving
of the vines for hay, that would other
wise be wasted, is simply matter of
economy. OF course if you can make
either Timothy or clover hay in abun-
dance it would not pay you to bother
with potato tops, but as you can't make
Timoth hay it behooves you to do the
best you can and save the potato vines,
or anything else that stock will eat.
These little leaks about the farm is
what eventually drains the cash from the
farmers pocket book. Remember the old
adage. F'Take care of the dimes and the
dollars will take care of themselves. !"
Pay more attention to small things; do
not ever let the potato vines go to waste
because they will not make as good hay
as something else, but save all of them,
and in doing so you will save money as
we'll.

Black Pepper and Cubebs.

We learn from a Jacksonville CORE
spondent of the Dispatch that black pep
per can be grown in Florida in the open
air. If it will thrive in the open air in
the latitude of Jacksonville, why could
it not be cultivated proftably for the
market in the southern sections of the
State? The correspondent referred to
says:
"The order Piperance, or pepper family,
contains several species of shrubby vines,
all of which are tropical. Piper nigrum,
which produces the black pepper of
commerce. has been grown in the open
air in this city. A gentleman, who isnow
absent, once showed me a walking cane
made from a branch that he had pruned
from vine that he then had growing.
1t was an inch or more in diameter and
as woody as grape vine, it not more so.
This vine grew in a drained cypress pond,
was vigorous grower, and, if | remem-
Der correctly, he said it was two or three
years old and had fruited. This was four
or five years ago, and do not know now
whether the vine is still growing or not.
"Cubebs are the fruit of Cubeba officin-
alis, another species of the family. The
Betel, chewed by the Malays and the Ava,
of the South Sea Islands, are products
of other species which possess intoxicat-
ing properties"

Help Secure Immigrants.

The Legislature of our State has enact
ed law creating board of immigration
and providing for the raising of suffi-
cient fund by taxation to make the work
of the board effective and rebound to the
great advantage of the State.
Now, while this board can and doubtless
will do great deal in the way of secur-
ing settlers for our State it's work will be
fruitful of better results if our people will
resolve themselves into a committee of
the whole, acting separately, collectively
or independently, and cooperate with the
authorities.
The different sections OF the State will
find it's money well invested to keep the
board supplied with literature in the form
OF newspapers, pamphlets, ETC., pertaining
to their respective sections. Be careful,
only of a plain, unvarnished statement of
facts. Let it set forth the advantages of
your sections in their true light. Do not
promise things that cannot be given.
In connection with this plan we would
suggest that in every section of the State
independent immigration associations be
organized, the duty of which shall be to
see to the proper advertising Of their sec
tion, furnishing information required
by prospective settlers, and doing other
things that will increase the population
of the State and consequently it's wealth.
Aside from this, concerted action on the
part OF the people; let every individual
avail himself of every opportunity offered
to present the advantages of the State
to inquiring parties in their proper light.
Answer every letter written you and 9th
erwise use your best tendeavors to procure
settlers, for without them the full devel-
opment of our resources cannot be
brought about.

The Importance of Humus.

There are few constituents. of the soil
more essential to the profitable produc-
tion of crops than humus. There isnoth-
ing more conducive to the well-being of
the soil itself than humus. There is
nothing that causes the soil to retain it's
natural fertility, and to derive the best
results from applied fertilizer as humus.
1t has many characteristics peculiar to
itself, and is prodigal of benefits that can
be derived from no other source. It's re-
tentiveness of moisture is a point in it's
favor that should win the respected Flor
ida people. 1t absorbs moisture like
sponge, and serves to increase and i'm
prove the texture OF light, sandy soils,

and it also lessons the compactness OF
clay soils. It's power Of absorbing from
the atmosphere most important ele-
ment of plant life -ammonia-and fixing
it in the soil ready for the roots to feed
upon, is a characteristic too important
to be overlooked.
These points in favor of humus being
generally admitted, it is a mystery why
our farmers and fruit growers neglect
the application Of it to their lands, when
they are so liberal in the application OF
other fertilizing elements.

farmers would farm better if they had the
money to buy more manure with. There
is more money in one acre of highly ma
nured land well titled than in three acres
of poor land SKINNED and neglected. The
land must be kept up to make farming
pay, and if you cannot make barn ma
nure enough with which to keep it up,
you had best buy. commercial fertilizers
in quantities sufficient to makeup the de-

Many Men of Many Minds.

That there is vast difference of opin-
ion among our orange growers concerning
the things most conducive to their well
fare is aptly demonstrated by the COM
munications that appear in this issue.
For instance, Mr.. Pichard differs widely
form DR.. Varnum on the subject of
pruning and transplanting fruit trees.
Mr.. Neeld thinks that a high tariff on
oranges would benefit the orange pro-
ducers greatly, and Mr.. Lyman thinks
that high tariff would restrict con
sumption to the wealthy, decrease sales
and give no better margin to the pro-
ducers."
And thus it keeps on through the entire
catalogue of subjects discussed. If we
published articles that were only in q GER
tain line OF thought we would be accused of
being narrow-minded. The reader, to q
certain extent, must be the jury and
Judge OF which argument has the best
merits. Our advice to such ewcomers is to
study all questions carefully, observe
everything closely, make their own de-
ductlons, form their own conclusions. be
ever ready to learn from any source.

Lawns.

Nothing adds SO much to the beauty
and attractiveness of a place as a nice,
green lawns Flowers and shrubbery
are well enough in their place, but their
place is rather in a plat by them
selves, where they will havethe undivided
benefit of the fertilizing elements in the
soil than on the lawn, where the grass
will claim large per cent. of the plant
food it contains.
An unbroken lawn surrounding, or at
least in front of the residence will add
much to the value of place, because it
will improve it's appearance and make it
more comfortable; it will prevent the
binding glare and reflection of the sum-
mer sun on the bare, white sand.
Until quite recently lawns in Florida
were very rare, the prevailing opinion
being that they could not be made with
out great trouble and expense. The fall
lacy of this idea, however, has been prov
Ell many times during the past few years,
and lawns are getting as common in
Florida as elsewhere.
Several varieties of grass make good
lawns in Florida, but certainly there is
none which gives better satisfaction than
the Bermuda. Once started all the at
tention it requires is an occasional sprink-
ling of fertilizer and the free use of the
lawn mower. 1t spreads very rapidly,
and on this account many object to it
and prefer ST. Augustine grass, which is
easier to control.
In preparing the ground for the lawn
care should be taken to have the surface
perfectly level before the grass is put out,
for after the sod is once well established
it is a difficult matter to make aItera-
tions.
This is a good season to make lawns,
as the summer rains will give the grass
an Immediate start. Prepare your land
by plowing it thoroughly, and then roll
ing it until perfectly level. Lay pieces of
Bermuda grass across the lot in continu-
GUS rows-one, two or three feet apart
Or, if the grass is sconvenient and abundant
and the lot to be sOdded is small, it may
beentirely covered. If rain splentiful and
the lawn kept well fertilized and moved
it will soon be a thing of beauty and
a JOY forever.
