safely kept open, the atmosphere there
almost resembles that of our most per-

''When the fruit reaches New Orleans it
is loaded from the ship directly into
through cars for destination. Can any
line do better than that? I hardly think
so. If the readers of your paper will look
through your advertising columns soon,
they will probably find sailing dates,
schedule of prices, ETC., of this newroute."
We are not in position to offer any
instruction or advice in reference to this
proposed new route, but we have an idea
that it will pay our shippers to investi-
gate. The scheme is being developed by
the enterprising management of the Or

guarantee that the interests of the ship

A New Outlet for Our Fruit.

Mr.. E. S. Richardson writes us of new
outlet for Florida fruit for the Western
markets
The route is via Sanford and the Or
ange Belt Railroad to ST. Petersburg on
Tampa Bay, and from there by Morgan
Line of Steamers to New Orleans, where
fruit is loaded into cars direct for it's
destination. The time necessary in max
ing the trip from Sanford is forty-six
hours-six hours by rail to ST. Peters
burg and forty hours by steamer to New
Orleans. Continuing his description of
his trip and the new route, Mr.. Richard
son says:
"Alow me to mention the fact that If
the readers OF our pet paper, the FLORIDA
AGRICULTURIsT, ship oranges to New Or
leans or western points, this is the way
to forward them. If you could personally
witness the way they were handled you
would join me in the assertion that these
ships were built expressly for the fruit

Keeping a Cow.

We have always contcnded that every
man who owned an orange grove, should
also own COW, and we still hold to that
belief. A correspondent of the Daytona
Journal says:
"We regret we did not have a cow be-
fore. For ten years we have promised
ourself that when we got time to prepare
land and plant and raise forage for cow
and horse, we would have them, but, alas!
the time for that did notcome, so we took

run in debt for $75, 900, then go to work

cow and horse, (but paid for them),
when we had no barn to put them in and
nothing to feed them on. We hustled
around and built barn and began to
feed them on imported Illinois hay. MyI
how they would eat it!

make living and all orange grove at
the same time" Quite often, unfortun-
| ately, this question is not answered 10
the entire satisfaction of the questioner.
This has been, andis still matter that
deters to a great extent the development
of Florida by honest, hard working,
thOughpO poor, men in the North who would
gladly settle in Florida were they certa n
that they could support themselves and
families, and at the same time better their
financial condition by making an orange
grove.
The methods of making an orange grove
and a living at one and the same time
are so numerous that it is difficult to go
into the details of the matter. We can,
however, give one recipe, which we believe
will cover the salient features of every
case-work. Work, and hard work, un-
doubtedly does the business, and it only
remains with you to determine what class
of work you are best fitted for. When
this point is settled we apprehend that
there will be but little difficulty in finding
opportunities for executing your plans.
On every hand are found living exam.
pies, cOrrObOrative of the statement that
poor men, depending entirely for their
living upon their daily work, can make
orange groves, and good ones, too. The
State is full of such examples. In many
cases these men came to Florida with
large families and ofttimes poor health,
but Notwithstanding these contending
influences, failures have been the exception
and successes the rule where they com
mence on scale in prOporti n to their
means.
Undoubtedly the hardest time with the
new settler is the first year or two, while
he is getting his grove set out and his
household affairs arranged. After this is
once done, he should experience no obsta-
cles very difficult to surmount
OF course it costs little more to live
in Florida than in the North, but to bal
ance this difference you will probably be
paid more for your days labor.
Fortunately there are hundreds who
come to Florida to GO into the orange
business who are in a very different finan-
cial condition than you are. They are
capitalists, many of them, or at least
have plenty of money to pay others for
making their groves, and as they are not
here but two or three months in the year,
as a rule they are willing to pay good
prices to good responsible men to work
and care for their property. The care of
these groves for non-residents has en-
abled many deserving and poor man
to bring his trees into profitable bearing.
Last week our advice to newcomers was
meant principally for those who wished
to follow the business of farming, and
these we advised to go to the farming coun-
ties of Middle and West Florida Now
we are addressing those who wish to set
tie in South Florida-the fruit section.
Until very recently the idea of raising
anything but oranges in South Florida
has been hooted at, but gradually people
are coming to understand and appreciate
the fact that our soil, when properly fer
tilized and watered, will produce almost
everything. And we would certainly ad-
wise the newcomer to raise everything he

ga mixed grove is made by setting peach tree
in the square made by four orange trees; pears
or plums can be set in these squares, set alter
nately on the outside of the orange trees This
makes charming grove, and money will COM
mence coming in the second and third year.
The latter (mixed grove) is what we
would recommend, by all means, but
would advise the planting of five instead
OF ten acres, on the principle that five
acres well cared for is better than ten
poorly cared for, and the number of
acres can be increased at some future
time. Better sta1 with one and increase
it as you are able than start with ten and
mortgage it and possibly have to give it
up.
1t will be an easy matter for the new
conner to find work in the numerous
groves that are sure to be in his vicinity,
and every minute of time he has to spare
should be devoted to his own grove. His
crops, his trees and his vegetable garden
should be guarded with the greatest care.
In the course OF time, when his experience
in the cultivation and care of groves JUS
tities it, he may be able to get the job of
looking after and caring for the grove of
some nonresident.
We feel no hesitancy in saying that
every man who has the ''get up" and
perseverance to do or die, can succeed in
making a living and an orange grove in
Florida at the same time. We have seen
scores attempt it, and but few failures,
and the failures were attributable more
to an organic condition of lassitude in
the men who failed, than through any
fault of the State.
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-11-13

But first let us plant the grove. 1t is
presumed, of course, that the newcomer
has some little money. AS to the cost of
getting his grove underway, we can do
no better than to quote Mr.. Ed Rumley,
of Keuka. He says in reply to question
as to the cost of starting grove:
You ask for an estimate for making a grove of
about ten acres, including land. Here it is as
cheap as it can be done frst-class:
10 of land near town $25OOO
Clearing off the timber Observation-Disclosures. 10000
Grubbing, taking out 10000
Flowing. ................... $500
Narrowing three times mes...................... $500
Fencing, lumber, hauling, work............. 10000
480 orange trees, 10000
Freight and carriage. 1000
Marking, setting and watering 1000
Things never thought of, but got to be
done, delays, 5000
Total $500 90
To make a mixed grove, one must add to the
above the trees he wishes to plant. For instances:
400 peach trees first 5000
100 pear trees first class. 2500
100 plum trees first class $500
