A Story That Bishop Lavigerie May Sue
coed Leo NIIL
The Catholic world is naturally much
interested i'm the results OF the May con-
sistorv. at which Pope Leo XIII created
seven new cardinals, the interest being
greatly heightened by the fact that these
seven may virtually determine who is
to be the successor Of the present pope.
OF the college of cardinals, who will
choose Pope Lco's successor, a majority
are Italians. and the French come next
in number: and owing TO the present
conditions the now cardinals will prOba-
hiv cast the decisive votes. The arch'
bishops made cardinals at the consistory
are these:
Mgr Achillo Apolloni. present vice
camcriingo of the Holy Roman church,
aged 90.
Mgr. Cajctan de Ruggiero. regent Of
the Apostolic chanccry. aged 20.
Mgr. Francis Marie Benjamin Richard,
archbishop of Paris, aged 90
Mgr. Joseph Alfred Toulon, archbishop
of Lyons. aged GO.
Mgr. Aimc Victor Francis Guilbert,
archbishop of Bordeaux, aged -.

also savannas, reclaimed lands and per-
manently wet hammocks, but these do
not at present concern us. On every one
of these five divisions of Florida soil, in
Guiding each of them over the different
subsoils mentioned, it is demonstrated
that the orange can be successfully grown
and in each case present peculiarities not
found in any OF the others. This being
the case it follows that the possibilities
of Florida as an orange-producing coun-
try are practically limited only by the
demand.
I have alluded in brief to soils suited to
the orange. The question may be asked,
answer. The grove owners on each of the
various kinds are as rule best suited
with their own, and when this is the case
it may be taken for granted that the ad-
vantages and disadvantages of each are
quite evenly balanced. The gray ham
mock, with a heavy growth of live-oak,
hickories and bays would seem to be the
ideal soil. 1t is usually dry, or easily
drained. After the land is once cleared it
is easily worked, and the trees need little
or no fertilizing till the bearing age.
CLEARING HAMMOCK LAND.
To clear this land perfectly is very ex-
pensive, but this is wholly unnecessary.
To chop down everything, to pile and
burn, to grub the stumps and roots and
burn again is to expendfrom $75 to $125
per acre; and at the same time to work
an injury to the soil which cannot be re-
paired. There are two plans, either of
which is perfectly satisfactory: To thor
oughly underbrush the land and cut down
all timber less than three inches in diam
eter, to pile all this in wind-rows (if pos
sible in a north and south directfon), with
their centers twenty-fvefeet apart. Thus
far the two plans agree, butin the one have
skillful men to cut the standing timber,
and as nearly as can be, throw it along
the wind-rows. There will be some cut
ting and rolling to be done, but there
ought not to be much. Then par
TALLY grub q strip eight feet wide
through the center of the open space
put in a plow and break this
land two or three times; dig holes four
feet in diameter, deep and clean, and set
the trees fifteen feet apart. This have
done in first-class heavily wooded ham
mock for $35 per acre.
In the other plan, after-the wind-rows
have been made, deaden the standing
timber, grub out four-feet holes in the
same manner as before, and set trees fif-
teen feet apart. This have donefor less
than 500 per acre.. Probably the first
method is the best; still am free to say
that the second suits me quite as well, in
that the ground is freer to nip in the bud

Hon. C. F. A. Bielby read the following
paper at the meeting of the American Po-
mological Society at Ocala. This paper
is of especial value to the newcomers, and
for their benefit we reproduce it; but vet
Grams in the business will doubtless find
food for reflection and considerable en- .
lightenment in the paper. Mr.. Bielby said:
1t must be remembered that it is only

Florida OF this period the first ten years
were consumed in preparation, and the
tremendous strides in the producing and
acclimating Of the numerous varieties, in
speeding the commercial growing Of the
crop over the whole peninsula OF Florida,
in raising the export quantity from moth
ing to 100000 boxes, has been the
work of less than twenty years.
The orange producing section may be
designated as lying east and south OF a
line drawn across the State from Dead
Mans Bay to the mouth of the ST. Mary s
River. Precarious as it may be at some
points within this line, at others, success
full orange growing approaches very close
to or crosses it. Tt may be taken that
the farther east you go in the State the
farther north you may venture. Ihe
isothermal lines entering the State from
the Atlantic, after crossing the ST. Johns
River dip suddenly and considerably to
the south how far south the cultivation
may be pursued has never been demon
strated, but know Of no reason, the soil
and local considerations being favorable,
why the Florida keys should not be taken
as the southern limit. Granting this, you
have but to cast your eyes upon the map
to see the vast territory where, i'll the
near future, the oranges of the world are
to be produced.
LEADING VARIETIES OF SOIL.
This territory, for our purpose, may be
divided roughly into five varieties of sur
face or soil. The hammock, or hardwood
country, constituting two of these, the
orav and black, though these again
should be subdivided with regard to the
subsoil, whether it be sand, limestone,
clay or coquina; the high pine, meaning
the high rolling country covered with
stately pines, where often tits from thirty
to sixty feet to water; the medium pine,
meaning the fat pine country, perfectly
level, from four to six feet to water,
covered with pine trees not so tall as on
the higher land, but quite as large; and
lastly the flatwoods. Of course there are

that time and since, it has never failed to
produce an abundant crop of oranges,

ing grown in the world. could not but
be struck by the different requirements
there and here.
PINE WOODS LANDS.
Being on the subject of wet, low lands,
| shall proceed at once to a consideration
of the fatwoods. / do this the more
willingly because there is an idea that or
anges cannot be grown on these lands,
while | am perfectly satisfied that in them
lies the best hope of the very poor man
to it's successful culture. i shared in this
feeling at one time, but my conversion
was as sudden as it has been lasting.
had attempted short cut and became
entangled in the limitless avenues of the
piney woods. Ia nay wanderings came
to cabin, and to my surprise. a grove
of large, thrifty trees, nearly thirty years
old, bearing abundant fruit, and in this
grove [ found the largest tree [ have yet
seen; SO large that two feet from the
ground could not reach around it with
both arms fully extended and from this
tree 5000 oranges had been taken at a
single crop, by actual count, andyet out of
the well in the neighboring grove water is
dipped sometimes with agourd. ''Itnever
did run over" the owner told me, "but it
has been within an inch of the. top" These
lands, so situated that surface bitches
will keep the water from standing on
the ground, can be cleared by deadening
the timber, for $5 per acre, and they can
be bought for from 81 to SIS in fairly ac-
cessible localities.
OF the two remaining varieties of pine
land, the high and the medium, the pro-
cess of clearing is in both cases the same,
generally by burning the trees out under
ground. This can be done for from $22
to $50 per acre, and leaves the ground
perfectly clean. A cheaper method is to
deaden the trees by girdling them, and l
think if | had it to do over again / should
adopt this plan; it probably costs as
much in the long run, but it carries the
cost over a great many years.
These pine soils, like the hammocks,
vary in quality. ! think it may be said
of them that none are good, but some
are very much poorer than others. In
my Judgment the question of adapta-
bility to orange growing on any OF them
is more question of moisture than of
quality of soil, and this, as a
rule, is determined by the character
of the surface and of the subsoil.
Clay or sand containing alumina
in considerable quantities as subsoil is
the best indication, especially if the sur
face be somewhat flat A subsoil lighter

two fight hard for life, and in the dying
and dead tops, unsightly as they.may be,
the young trees find for time grateful
shade OF course the less work put into
the first preparation, the more in the
after cultivation, but usually it is most
important to save money in the first out
lay, especially when a man is poor, and
intends to do much or all of his own after
labor.
But the prime question is, which is best?
and l contend that either of the latter
is better than the first clean sweep with
fre,-for when the soil energies from
the chaos of decaying vegetable matter,
which it will do in five or six years, it is
in infinitely better condition to stand the
after strain of continuous years OF crop
ping. 1t is true in the last method the
branches will begin to. fall in a year, and
some Of the oaks and other trees will soon
follow, and occasionally an orangetree is
injured, but it is wonderful how little
damage is done i'll this way.
The method of preparing the black ham,
mock differs somewhat. Usually it is wet
and if the water stands upon the surface,
the underbrush and small timber and
some of the larger should be cut and all
may be burned with little or no injury to
the SOIL Much of the timber should be
alive, to be gradually thinned out as the
orange trees gradually cover the ground.
The trees should be set upon mounds, or
better still, the whole surface should be
alternated in ridges and depressions run
ming with the natural drainage twenty to
twenty-five feet apart, and the trees set
upon the ridges fifteen feet apart. The
cost of thus clearing is not often set at
less than $3.50 per acre. These lands are,
as rule, located on the borders of lakes
or in the river bottoms, sometimes in
small bodies, but in several parts of the
orange country there are vast tracts con-
tanning thousands of acres, notably that
which runs along the east coastfor nearly
a hundred miles, soil of black mould
from two to six feet deep over a stratum
of mari. The dense forests that cover
them are forbidding in aspect and almost
impenetrable, and show by their luxuri-
ant growth the inexhaustible fertility of
the soil. Strange as it may seem, though
the water is at the surface, and often
above it, the orange tree takes kindly to
these soils and fourishes without signs OF
decay or abatement in the production OF
thin-skinned, bright and heavy fruit.
remember reading few years ago an
article in California paper on the selec-
ton of location for an orange grove,
and the writer said the farther to water
the better; one hundred feet was better
than less. At about that time had ac-
cepted an invitation to inspect low
hammock grove. The inspection failed,

man and woman in a buggy were observed
driving on the road past the farm Of Byron
James. In the course of an hour the same man
and rig were seen driving furiously in the
opposite direction, but without the woman.
Later Mr.: James discovered . fire about = mile
from his house in the direction of the creek.
Fearing his fences would burn he went 10 the
fire, which proved to be an old deserted log hut
in flames. Mr.. James suspicious were aroused,
and he came to this city, reported the matter,
aud, accompanied by officers, returned 20
search the ruins. They found a small pile Of
bones in the ashes of the log house and
returned here with them. Two bhysicians
pronounced them human bones, probably those
