man, whose home is at the Thirteen
Mile Switch on the P. W. & B. r. R.
near Baltimore and James Bar1abee
of Fredericktown, Ceci. county, on
the charge of violating the fishery
laws by fishing with unlawful nets
States Attorney W. S. Evans had
warrants issued for their arrest.
The officers hired the steam yacht

and steamed across the head of the
bay to the Sassatras. At some point
at the mouth of the river they came
across Brinkman, who had six men
in boat and net. The net and
boat were seized. A sunken pound
net belonging to a Philadelphlan
named Crownheart, who could not be
found was seized as were also two
pound nets belonging to Barnabee.
The officers took the accused and
the seized property to Elkton. The
parties were taken before Justice A.
j. Scott, but the hearing was post
poned till Thursday. Capt. Fletcher
Wilson went bail for Barnabee, and
John Edwards, of Hartford county,
for BriDkman. A warrant was issued
for another party accused of unlaw =
full fishing in Elk river.

The Cloven Foot of High License

The Glover Foot of High License.
A few months ago it was consider
ed the fashionable thing to "point
with pride" t" the Brooks High Lii
cense Law of Pennsyl, ania. But
now the cat has jumped out of the
bag. Hear what the Philadelphia
Christian Advocate of August god
says:
"There probably never was more
liquor sold at any time in this city I.
or more drunkenness than since the
election in June. The decision OF
the Supreme Court has not had time
to have had any appreciate effect.
1t is the legitimate working of the
boosted Brooks High License law"
And why shouldn't this be the re-
suit? Isn't it the avowed object OF
High Liceuse to make rum selling
and rum drinking respectable? What
is more natural than people to want
TO be respectable when it is so easy
to gain that desired end by getting
drunk on High License whiskey?

Florida VS.. Tennessee.

Mrs. G. W. Bowers, of Lake Dexter,
writes us that her orange crop this year
amounted to $50 boxes, for which she re-
ceived net returns for $1,000. She feels
remarkably well satisfied, and inquiries if
anyone has had more satisfactory re
turns.
Contrasting the difference between her
present and herformer home-Te Tennessee
she says: 81 came to Florida for my
health, and with my husband travelled
over greater portion of the State in
search OF a location. Since coming here
Florida has done more to establish my
health than did all the doctors in my old
home, and for that reason, if for nothing
else, I'have deep and lasting affection
for the State

we left here the .4th of last June, with

which required but little attention, as the
trees grew rapidly and took care of them
selves. We returned November 26th, and
found everything all right and the trees
hanging with fruit. At least 100 boxes
had dropped that we could have sold for
$3.50 per box here. That would have
been more than many of the farmers OF
Tennessee make, and work all of the time.

For THE FLORIDA AGRcULTURIsT
Lemon Growing in Florida.

Lemon GroWIng In FLORIDA.
During my ten years of residence here,
L have often heard the argument ad-
vanced that You could not raise lemon
trees successfully in Florida. The chief
cause that they put forth being that they
would not stand the cold.
At the time OF the destructive freeze of
: January, 1886, | had twenty lemon trees
on sour stocks, and Il grove Of 1000 or
ange trees, 6oO bearing. My lemon trees
were situated on or near the river bank,
and were five years old. True, at the time
of the above freeze, my lemon trees were
frozen to within a few feet Of where they
were budded; but at the same time lost
300 three year old orange buds, on sour
stocks, and 200 six to eight years old on
the same.
What | maintain is this, "Are not the
lemons agreater source of profit than the
orange?"
Ny lemon trees are large and in a -four
ishing condition, the same twenty trees,
picked from this past season two boxes
each Btsides these twenty, the spring
following the big freeze, ! sat out 200
lemon trees, all OF which are now bearing.
The orange trees that were injured by
the same freeze have mostly died, what
few remain are alive, mostly on one side,
very few, like the lemon, coming out and
again making a healthy, bearing tree. 1t
also takes the orange longer to feel the
effects of the cold or to show it than the
lemon.
The lemon will die back as far as in
jured in few months, while the orange
will take almost two years before it
begins to show it's old-time energy.
The truth of it, in my estimation, is
the lemon is more rapid grower, not as
subject to disease, iustas prolific in bear
ing, will grow without as much drainage
on clay-bottom land, takes no more
fertilizer, needs no trimming, scale does
not retard it's growth, and it is not
attacked as much by the same as the
average orange tree, and above all, the
most necessary feature to the grower, as
they demand, shipped at the proper time,
the top market price. sold all of mine
last October at $5 per box.
They say they will not stand as much
cold as the orange tree. This may be
true to some extent and under some con
ditions, but in my experience the only
year had my lemon trees injured was the
year lost my orange trees also.
You will overlook the zeal of a lover of
both tire orange and lemon, but what
would try to impress upon the minds OF
those setting out trees in our seni-tropi
cal cline is, not to be easily preiudiced
against the lemon by what may be said
to you by others.
Make your own trial as | have done,
and you will be amply rewarded for your
efforts. W. +. Z.
