THERE is one thing about which all
agree, and that Is that Senator Ingalls,
as president Of the senate was a most
capable, fair and impartial chairman.
This perhaps is the first and only praise
democrats, as rule, have allowed him
since he entered that body.

rME BINDING rwrNE TRUST.

THE BINDING TgINE TRUST.
The price Of binding Irvine has been
lately trebled by the trust organized
for that purpose. Why such an extra
ordinary advance in the price OF that
article should be made just now Is not
apparent. Nobody is using Il. The
season is not yet arrived when It can
be used by the farmer, Tncse wheat.
oats and barley, over re greater part
of the country, are Hardly out Of the
clods yet. There Is therefore no con-
sumption, no demand for the article,
and yet, stratge to say, all at once the
price is advanced about 800 per cent,
and the farmer, who viii need it in a
few months, is told that he must pay
it or 60 without.
Is that not an anomalous, a queer,
illogical and utterly outrageous propo-
sition? Certainly it is. Nothing what
ever in the condition of the market
justifies it. Nothing in the law OF
supply and demand warrants it. 1t is
as audacious and unwarranted as would
be declaration of war by the govern
ment against Mexico tomorrow
There has been no complaint that the
price of Irvine in the past year or two
was ruinously low. No one claims
so far as is known, thai
it was not remunerative. W.
have heard of no factories going to thu
wall because the business Of making
Irvine did not pay, and yet all at onc'
when not pound of it is being con
sumed, the price is sent skurrying sky
high just as the cotton bagging trus
sent up the price of bagging last fall.
A member of the trust attempting t
justify the advance says that for twt
years buyers have been conservative
consequently stocks have not kept up.

words is worthy only OF the thimbl
rigger, the mountebank and the i'm
poster, This is the logic OF it: whel
the price of Irvine is at nine cents,
buyer is conservative and carries
small stock. When the price double
or trebles, he runs crazy and wants Al
ne can get. With such limping logi
as that does the trust justify its IN
pacity and downright robbery of tn,
farmer.
There is a good healthy rate of tart
on Irvine, and has been so for man
years. We are told that the effect o
it would be to reduce the price of tn
article to the farmer. Perhaps that i
true. at any rate the farmer think
so, and favors it. 1t is good Will
coming, and just now seems farthe
away than ever. But let not the fan
mer despair. Let him be patient
In proportion to his forbearance an
self-forgetfulnass will be his reward
in heaven, if no where else.

Cover this with three inches OF soil and
mix thoroughly. Cover again with two
inches of the top soil and put in your

These will grow very rapidly and make
an immense amount of vines from which
you can plant at the proper time.

possible Our nurserymen are Offering

How to Eat an Orange.

This may seem an absurd subject, but
how few really know the best way Some
carefully pull and separate the orange,
and devour each separate "plug," while
others cut the fruit in two, plunge into
the juice nose and all and conquer the
orange, but come out with considerable
of the saccharine matter adhering to
their face, which <necessitates q wash
basin and towel. Others take knife,
cut hole in the top of the orange, and
either eat the contents with g Ssnonoro1lv
extract it x3So by i II
+o,,,,, -<-yAChIIIS.
All the above plans are good enough
for eating oranges in the grove and
packing-house, but when it comes to the
table some other way is needed. Mr., j.
j. w. Place, of this city, has patented a
device which seems to fill the bill.
1t is an orange stand, made by turning
a saucer-shaped base from wood, in the
center of which is spike. After the or
ange has been prepared it is placed on
this spike. The rind OF the orange
is cut from the blossom to stem end,
leaving about one-half inch uncut at the
latter. The rind is then peeled back and
the "plugs" separated with the exception
/ of a very small space at the stem end.
The orange is then placed Oh the table
by the plate of each guest, and they can,
without any trouble whatever, help
themselves to as much of the orange as
they like. Any juice that may escape is
caught in the hollow of the base. This
device is especially desirable in decorat-
ing a dinner table, as the orange pre-
pared in this way makes a very pretty
display. On top of the stand is place
for a small bouquet of flowers.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1889.
Work for February.

So far this year we have failed to get
the warm, spring-like days that start
everything to growing, the birds to sing
ing and make all feel that there is no
place like Florida. The rain has been
abundant, and with very little apparent
let up. However, we can now hope for
more sunshine, and with it everything
will put on new life.
Those who have not put in their spring
garden for family use, should lose no
time in doing SO, as a good family garden
is luxury, and a saving in living ex-
penses, and we believe in doctor bills.
Vegetables that can stand light frosts
without injury should be put out
Among thesewe name cabbage, collards,
carrots, turnips, radishes, lettuce, beets,
peas, parsnips and satisfy. We have al
ways been told that the latter vegetable
would not do well here, but trial was
made last year, and to our surprise it
was one of the best vegetables we had in
our garden, and lasted into July-or till
we had eaten them-the last bni'o ~ 'e''
to the first.
1mose who wish to have an early sup
ply of cucu1nbers and squashes should
now prepare boxes or tin cans in which
to plant the seed These should be
placed where they can be protected from
the light frosts that we are apt to have
during this month. The plants will
make rapid growth and can be set out
when all danger OF FROST has passed, and
will continue growing is if they had not
been disturbed if the work is properly
done. Irish potatoes for home market
should be planted We find by expert
ence that level culture is the best on our
sandy soil, as they do not dry out so
quickly, and get the full benefit OF any
rain that may fall. Lay off the rows
with pillow and apply about a gill OF
some good fertilizer to the hill, and mix
thoroughly with tn, soil. Then plant
your potatoes and cover with about two
inches of soil. This should leave the land
so that when the potato comes up it will
be about three inches below the level.
AS they grow the potatoes should be
worked and the soil drawn in until the
land is level, then they can be left till
ready to dig. We have raised three
crops in one year by this method.
Your bed for sweet potato draws
should be made at once. In some out-of
the-way place dig a hole four feet square
