Bulletin No. 6.

We have just received from the director,
Rev. j. p DePass, Bulletin No. 6 of the
Florida Experimental Station, and after
q careful persual we unhesitatingly pro-
nOunce it the best that has been issued
from the Station. AS the bulletin is in
tended for gratuitous distribution
throughout the State, we will not review
it at length, but advise everyone to send
their address to the director and secure
not only this one but all future bulletins.
In our recent remarks concerning the
Florida Experimental Station, we did
not mean to reflect upon itsusefulness, or
to discourage those who have the work
in hand, but, on the contrary, to stimu-
late those parties to greater efforts, that
the interests of the State might be mate
rally furthered.
( Not long since we received private
letter from the director explaining un-
der what difficulties he had and is still
laboring. The clearing up of new land,
building new houses, putting in new ma
chinery, etc., all of which he assured us
took time, and he is confident that as
soon as he can get the station in thor
ough working order, the people of the
State will derive much benefit from it.
We make the following extract from the
bulletin, which we respectfully refer to the
''seekers after information"
l. e -Is-
sis from the Experiment Station, should
address the Director, at Lake City, Fla.
Bulletins are sent free to anyonein Florida
applying for them. Write me, givingleg-

AS before stated this pump is very sim
pie, costing with boiler about $4OO. In
case it's capacity is not great enough the
size of the cylinder can be increased indef
initely, and Mr.. Burden claims that no
more steam will be required than for the
smaller size.
1t is the intention to place this pump at
the head ditch on the reclaimed lands,
and when the heavy rains shall cause the
bitches to fill, the water will be pumped
from them into the main canal.
During drouths water will be pumped
from the main canal into the bitches,
thus making the pump serve a double
purpose-for draining and irrigating.
Mr.. Burden, the inventor of this pump,
is also the inventor of the decorticating
machine for maguey, of which so much
has been said.

Hints and suggestions for September.


September has the reputation of being
dry month, but fortunately does not
always sustain this reputation, thus Civ
ing the gardener better chance.
Unless you have already done so, pre-
pare your garden land by plowing itthor-
oughly and turning the roots up to the
sun. Then you can apply yonr fertilizer,
if you intend to do SO, broadcast.
Plant peas, beans, turnlps, carrots,
radishes, lettuce, etc., in the open ground
in well prepared beds that have previous
ly been thoroughly fertilized.
Such plants as cabbage, tomatoes, ETC.,
should bestarted in boxes or shaded beds
and then transplanted.
THE GROVE.
There is but little work to be done in
the grove after this month. If you are a
desciple of "clean culture you may give
it another cultivating and ''lay it by for
the season. If, on the other hand, you
have allowed the grass to grow, you will
have some work to do in the way of MAX
I ~ -
ing hay.
This is a good time to prepare for the
harvest season. You should have your
box material on hand and have your
boxes made up during odd times, SO that
they will be thoroughly seasoned when
needed. Also see that your stencils and
marking brushes, etc., are in good order.
THE FARM.
If the June cornis not too badly "fired"
continue to save what fodder you can.
Also save the pea vines planted during
the summer.
Of course in the cotton region cotton
picking is "all the go, " and it is useless to
remind these old veterans that the sooner
they get it ont of the bolls and away from
the danger of beating rains and winds the
better it will befor them and theircotton.
