For THE FLORIDA AGRIcULTuRIsT.
A New Departure---Oranges in Bulk.

Bulk Florida oranges have thus far
turned out surprisingly satisfactory as to
condition and stability We have to ad-
matt that they arrive in a decidedly better
condition than the average box shipment,
and, quite contrary toexpectations, they
sell better. Gc;' .Et
In bulk the fruit is better ventilated,
not being confined by, paper and boxes,
which probably accounts for it's sounder
condition. And it sells better because the
purchasers see exactly what the fruit is
and prefer to give SO much per thousand
oranges for such than to take the risk in
what they do not SO openly see in boxed
fruit, which they call 'buying pig in the
poke"
The last "bulks" we had consisted of
fair quality, tight-skin oranges, but most
ly russets and extremely uneven sizes
from SO to 250), which we sold readily
last week at $1O per 1 ,00Oin the presence
of plenty of wrapped box fruit of really
higher grade, begging for buyers at lower
prices.
In bulk shipping the bottoms of the
cars should be well cushioned with clean,
dry grass, and the oranges properly pro-
tected from the sides and ends Of the car
with heavy felt paper, which also is pro-
lection against FROST. This new departure
of bulk shipping of Florida oranges will
prevent their being diverted to the steam-
ships and consequent loss from rot in the
hot holds of the Philadelphia boats and
shipper at the docks 1t will save the
in sizing, papering, boAarrAnd material
the fruit to us sounder and shows 1t up
better, and we regard it, from our present
experience. as desirable and profitable
change from the old way OF hiding the
fruit in paper and wood.

indeed a long one They would be remu-
nerative pursuits here because they have
been so elsewhere, under less advanta-
geous circumstances Remember, it is
equally beneficial to keep money within
our limits as to bring it in from outside
and better-for in order to keep it work
would be given to thousands otherwise
unemployed-an other thousands would
migrate here to find steady and profit
able employment.-Southern Sun.
No one can doubt for moment that
canning factories are greatly needed in
Florida, and that they would save many
dollars to our truckers, but our esteemed
contemporary is mistaken in reference to
our vegetables being shipped to the
North, canned, taxed and shipped back
to u.s. Florida vegetables never see the
inside of a can, unless, perhaps, they are
canned at home, for it certainly would
not be profitable for n orthern factories
to buy our truck for canning, when the
freight alone on it would amount to more
than the price they pay delivered at their
doors.

Reported by G. S. Palmer, Wholesale Commits
sion Merchant in Fruits and Produce, 1855 Reade
ST. N. Y.
The receipts Of Florida oranges continue
only moderate, yet foreign imports are
heavier and the fruit is unusually fine for
so early in the season, which is havingits
effect on the lower grades Of Florida fruit,
especially russets; 50 box has been
realized for all sound lines OF russets, but
at present $1.75 seems to be all that is
obtainable, and bright fruit ranges in
price from $1.5O to $3.50, according
to quality. The latter price, however, is
extreme, except for the seedless oranges
such as st. Michaels, Navels or Satsuma,
which are selling FOR $3.50 per box.
Manderins and Tangerines are notmov-
ing and sales are effected only when fruit
is offered on very low prices.
AS the season advances we are having
more inquiry for new vegetables and what
few are coming forward find quick SALE
Beans worth $3.50 to $3.50 per crate.

materialism by means of it's funny
books and it's considerable number of
devotees."
The inward contemplation of
ideal gold and greenbacks," is very
good, indeed; and another cruel critic
turns on his stream of ridicule, thus:
"One of our passion poets has lately
published a metaphysical poem one stanza
of which will suffice to give an idea. of
what it is:
Think health. and healthy will find you
AS certain as the day,
And pain will lag behind you Is
And lose you on the way
Why not pursue this same line of rea-
fsOnfng to the bitter end, somewhat after
this fashion?
Think wealth, and you will get it
milion more or less;
Think silk, and in the closet
You'll find a gros-grain dress.
Think land, when you are drowning.
Beyond all human reach
And by this happy theory
You'll be washed up on the beach
Think bread when you are hungry,
And a feast will there be spread;
Think sleep when you weary,
And find yourself in bed.

Very many of our cultivated trees, if we

To prune young orange, pear or usu-
ally any other tree, up to single bare

it's growth, if you persist in rubbing off
all the shoots that are trying to recloth
