Notes from Lemon Bay, on the Gulf.
We are having some dry weather along
the coast of late.
Crops are suffering for want of rain.
Vegetables, etc., are drying up fast, and
unless it rains soon gardens and crops
will be cut short.
This brings us to the subject of irriga-
tion. The land along the coast, and par
ticularily the keys and islands and such
as are composed largely of shell, produce
wonderful crops when we have good sea-
sons; therefore | think we should spend
more money for water and less for fertili-
zers. Iconsider good windmill and appli-
ances, or an artesian well or something of
the kind about the best investment we
can make. The time is coming, and it is
notfar Off when irrigation will be consid-
cred actually necessary for the successful
raising of vegetables and small fruit at
least.
From present indications 1t is to be
hope that we will have settlers enough by
fall to geta school, postoffice, etc., atthis
end of the bay.
We have just sold our crop of sweet po-
tatoes; prices ranged from so to S5 cents
per bushel.
Cutting bee trees and picking buckle
berries seems to be the order of the day.
Some of our people are skinning aliga-
tors while they are waiting for the rain.
Turtle steak and eggs are again IN sea-
son, and are to be had for the gathering,
which is fine sport during moonlight
nights. When the flesh of the turtle is

A Few Words on the Clean Culture
Theory.

Gentlemen, permit me to say a few
words OH that clean cultivation theory
A neighbor of mine had fine orange
grove of some 1000 trees situated in the
San Gabriel Valley ofLos Angeles county,
on high well drained sol, soil that would
analize over per cent. of potash and
about 15-10O of 1 per cent phosporic
acid, all other ingredients in abundant
proportion, and that would be considered
a good loam soil. He was a "clean culti-
vator." He would irrigate and then he
would plow; his trees grew thriftily and
bore him several good crops, but it then
commenced to go back on him.
He had a neighbor who had a grove on
the same kind of soil Immediately adjoin-
ing him, who was clean cultivatOr, but
not so thrifty; the weeds always showed
themselves before the plow was put to
work. Sometimes in the winter they got
so far ahead that the stock would crawl
over and through the fences to the
orchard, but then those weeds would be
turned under before our dry summer
overlook us. Now the point is this, this
second orchard is to-day in better condi-
tiOn than the first, and has cost the own
er less money. Now to what must we at
tribute this if not to the exhaustion
of the available nitrogen in the first?
And would refer you, Mr. Editor, TO Mr.
Brewer, who has heretofore written able ar
ticles for your paper, to bear me out in this
theory And now, if this be correct, would
it not be well to raise some leguminous
crop in our orchards and pillow it under?
Or would it be better to supply the tree
directly with nitrate in the form of either
sulphate of ammonia or nitrate of soda?
Now, lean somewhat to the Bermuda
grass man," because his soil never would
be totally deprived OF available nitrogen
But do insist that it would never do Tor
this country, because it is summer
grass and would pump all the water out
of the soil Nor am a clean cultivator, ex-
cept with the use of nitrate in conjunction
with the plOw; otherwise where is our sup
ply of nitrogen to come from?
Agricultural chemistry bears out the
theory that clover develops nitrogen in
the soil, and is followed by the fact that
wheat is always made to succeed clover
in the old country, and / rather believe
that the orange tree is like the wheat
plant, unable to feed itself with nitrogen
except the later be in an available condi-
tion. A. S. CHAPMAN.

of May, that, placed in water sunk to the
bottom, which tells of the sugar it con-
tains And question, "Have we finer
favored orange than Bessie now is, at
any season of the year?"
THE GRAPE FRUIT.
Some one has wrote of it as "the COM
ing fruit" One thing, it is being by many
more highly priced than the orange; es-
peciaIly is this the case during the hot,
trying months of the summer, and it
keeps nearly the year round.
am planting quite largely of new
one, theAurantium Pomela. The original
tree is from an orange seed, and partakes
so far of the orange that it's skin is thin,
and in flavor deliciously sweet and fine
more orange than Pomelo, with very lit
tie of it's original bitter. A very promis-
ing new fruit and is eagerly sought after
by those who have been favored with
taste of it. / cannot determine how long
it will hold on the tree, as in bearing it's
first crop the originator, finding it so su-
perior, nearly killed it by over-kindness
with fertilizer that [ presume was COM
posed of kainit.
May 18th last saw the tree with sew

recovered it's natural vigor, and from it's
unhealthy look could not hold it's fruit as
if it was in perfect health.

Twain's Troubles In q Car.

SOME THINGS THAT HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND
PAYING HIS FARE.
From the Baltimore American
Mark Twain has good deal Of difficulty in
getting on the right train of cars. He SAYS
that depots always get turned around over
night, and if he wants to go west they invari-
bly, run him off east. Street cars are never
where they are wanted; but if you don't want
one you are obliged to walk around or climb
over it. And then this paying fare for other
people; when he attempts it he generally puts
the change in his own pocket until his mind
comes back to him. The other day he at
tempted to pay fare for an old lady, but in
stead of giving her the nickel as change he put
it in the box, and gave the lady the celluloid
check. She explained that it wasn't of any use
to her, SO he sent up another dime, and COM
mitted the same blunder again. Again she
smiled and said she couldn't market with the
railroad company's token" Hurriedly fishing
a quarter out of his clothes, he dropped it into
her lap, saying. BEG pardon, madam; give
it up; that box is too much for me-" and, get
ting out of the car, he found he had gone
three miles in the wrong direction.
1t was in spirit of modification over such
occurrences, perhaps, as we'll as Of revenge on
rhythm and all the rascally lines that oblige

Old Time Boards.

From the London Standard.
Our Saxon ancestors delighted in wearing
long, forked boards; the Normans, ON the con-
trary, at the period Of the conquest not only
shaved their chins but also the back of their
heads. They had not. however, been long es-
tablished in England before they permitted
their boards to grow to extravaganza dimen-
sions. Long boards were also in fashion in the
reign OF Richard l, and continued so until the
time of Henry ~, after whose reign they grew
fine by degrees and beautifully less, until a
beard was as rare as the dodo But the refor-
nation came to the rescue of the beard and in
this way:
After the separation of the Greek and Latin
churches the practice of shaving became a re-
Hgious duty among the Roman ecclesiastics by
way of opposition to the Greeks. who to this
day have continued to pay reverence to a we'll
clad chin and are greatly shocked by the beard
less images of saints in the Latin churches
The shaving of the chin by the clergy was i'm
peratively commanded by various statutes in
the Romish church. By the monastic laws the
lay monks were commanded to let their boards
grow and only the priests to shave; and a writer
previous to the reformation complains that
the manners of the clergy had become 80 cor
rupt that they could not be distinguished from
the laity by their actions, but only by their
lack of boards. Consequently the early re-
formers suffered their boards to grow to dis
tinguish them from the adherents to Rome;
and the reformation becoming general in Eng
land, the beard by this means came into fashion.
As to the shapes of the beard worn by our fore
fathers, they seem to have been Of infi.lite
variety. At period when almost all the men
wore swords and those weapons were fire.

A Chance silhouette,

AN ARTISTIC FACE MADE BY scRAPrSa THE
TREASURY WALLS
Treasury clerks are being treated TO free
exhibition of high art on the walls of one Of
the corridors, the product of chance. OF late
workmen have been kept busy on the walls
scraping off the old paint, filing up the holes
with putty and repainting again. One OF the
men at work on a panel of wall opposite
the Office of the fourth auditor in the
first floor, west wing, happened 10 scrape the
old paint in such way that the uncovered
portion made perfect silhouette of woman's
head, with the face turned TO the ceiling. The
patch is long and irregular in shape, and the
resemblance to face does not become very
apparent until the northern half is COW

is distinctly recognized in a moment
The head is covered with jaunty. stylish bon

hair is coiled in a bewitching knot at the back
of the head. The features are beautiful. pure
Grecian and the lips and chin delicately turned.
Altogether it is quite a sigh producing
countenance, and many longing
wistful glance has been cast at
this dull-brown patch, as though the gazers
thought il pity that such face should be
but the chance product of a wall scraper's
knife. When the head is covered and the
other end of the patch is shown, neatly
booted foot appears, perfect in Its outlines
as the head The scraper says that this queer
combination of outlines done entirely un-
consciously by him as he removed the paint.
