Mime. Jane iaulng sailed from New
York for her beloved Paris last Saturday,
and went away in bad humor with her
sister actress, Miss Anderson. Jennie was
very anxious to see Mollle in "The Winters
Tale" and came clear over here from New
York last Thursday, accompanied by Mrs
Abbey, for that purpose, but the fair Ken
tuekian, however desirous of accom-
modating the fair ParisIan, was controlled
by her physician, and could not go on the
stage that night Indeed, she was so i'll
that she did not even see Miss Hadng at
the hotel, and that is what hurt the French
lady. She thought she ought to have had
a chance to talk to her, anyhow, and as she
did not she went away in hun and took
the II o'clock train back TO the point OF
departure. Now she Is out on the bounding
blue Atlantic, and II she should drown,
unforgiying Mary, where would she go toy
For the sake Of harmony 1t is stated right
here that Miss Anderson meant no dis
respect TO Miss Hadjng, and that she was
really and actually too sick TO see her, and
Miss Hading should restrain her impet-

ated, according to the desire of the grow
er. Abundant fertilizing and irrigating
will tend to produce early fruiting, while
withholding the food and water from the
tree and beating off the first blossoms,
will tend to produce the late fruit. 1t is
quite probable that we shall soon have
July and August oranges.
In another respect the outlook for Flor
ida is very good. OF all the orange pro-
ducing countries, Florida is nearest the
great centres of population that is be-
ginning to know and value thefruit. This
population-east, west and north-will in
crease faster than the oranges can be put
upon the market. During the past sea-
son visitor to Florida from a North
ern city of fifteen thousand inhabitants,
said to me:
eve are just beginning to have a few
Florida oranges sold in our market"
There are thousands of such cities with
markets ready to handle the fruit if they
can get it, The outlook for the future is
more encouraging from the fact that our
orange growers are beginning to realize
that it is better to work together than
''each one for himself" AS the wise Ben
Franklin said during the revolutionary
period "We must hang together, or we
shall hang separately" So if the orange
growers do not want their financial head
taken off, they must work in the union
that is strength. M. NJ l..

Manures are Not Stimulants.

Plants have no nerves. The notion
that they can be stimulated as men and
animals can does not apply They can
only feed, and this probably exclusively
through roots imbedded in the soil So
what is meant by stimulating manure
is one where plant food is made soluble
and easily taken up by theroots of plants.
But there is something that looks like
stimulation in the application of quick
acting manures in contact with the seed.
This gives the young plant receiving
such benefit start that enables it to
push it's roots far beyond what it would
otherwise do. If the fertilizer attachment
to one tube of a drill becomes clogged, as
it sometimes will, the grain sown in this
row not only looks poorer, but is poorer
than the soil should naturally OF itself
produce. The stronger grain has in
vaded the domain of the weak and
robbed it of the little it had, besides oc-
cupying the ground to the exclusion Of
the space it's roots should have filed

More About Tariff.

Mr.. f. W. Lyman wants the tariff on
steel rails reduced, so we can have cheap
transportation of oranges.
Say, Mr.. Lyman, have you forgotten
that when English manufacturers had a
monopoly of the steel rail business they
made our manufacturers pay from $11O
to $3.50 per ton for them, and they could
be bought for no less? Haveyou forgot
ten that?
Don't you know that when Congress
laid tariff of $27 per ton on them the
American manufacturers sprang up? The
English monopoly was broken and the
price went down to 1913 per ton; and don't
you know that the average pricefor years
has been below $25 per ton? Do you
banker for a return to the $110 state of
affairs under English monopoly?
AS an orange grower, want the Amer
ican market for my fruit, and, as a man
claiming only what amwilling to grant,
steel rails to have the American market
for his goods.

for free wool, free salt, free coal, free lum-

ished. Then put more cross pieces on top
of the poles, then another course OF the
latter, and so on until the desired height
is attained. The pens, about 8x5 feet,
are then filled with brush, stumps, etc.
Sprouts and bamboos soon grow up in
side and bind the material together.
Before the ground is broken up rake to-
gether and burn up all trash. If broken
with plow the muck is not pulverized,
and it will be an extremely hard matter
to do so afterwards, as the clods are in
terwoven with roots and SO light that a
pulverizing implement simply turns them
around or crowds them together, and no
more. ] would suggest that a stout
spike-tOoth harrow, or harrow and Acme
pulverizer used alternately, be employed
in advance of the plow, until a depth OF
three or four inches of mellow soil is at
tanned for by running these implements
over the land in several directions while
reaction exists, it can be well disintegra-
ted, which is of vital Importance. If lime
was previously SOWn over the GROUND 1C
will be well incorp GRATED with it. If the
harrow teeth are kept off stumps, they
will not bend by hitting roots, as they
(the roots) are very soft and yielding.
The roots will be pretty well exposed after
the first heavy rain, and can then be re-
moved.
For the first crop | would recommend
rice as best suited to the raw and rough
condition of the land. Plant in rows far
enough apart to admit of cultivation
with horse, and in drills so that sprouts
can be kept down and maiden cane or
other undesirable weeds can be seen and
destroyed in time.

The Outlook.

In that pleasant land beyond the sea,
that is SO frequently the Italy of our de-
sires, nature has placed one of her most
magnificent volcanoes-Vesuvius. 1t is
situated in the beautiful plain of Cam
pania, in view of the city of Naples. Near
ly two thousand years ago, the first his
tOric eruption of this volcano occurred.
There is no reason to believe that this
mountain had heretofore been considered
a avOIcanO, but at the time of this first erup-
ton, the villages thatfourished at it's base
and the vineyards that clambered upon
it's sides, kept themselves, in spirit and
in fact, to the full measure of prosperity.
In one sad day the ruin came. They were
buried in the shower of ashes, and after
wards well nigh forgotten. Vesuvius,
however, has passed through these latter
centuries maintaining the character OF
an active volcano, and from time to time
ruthlessly destroying the villages, gar
dens and pasture lands that have sue
cessively filed the beautiful Campania
plain.
Without discussing the philosophy of
human actions, we may say, that it
seems strange thing that men should
rebuild city in place that is almost
certain to be terribly desolated as the
years go on. Yet the men of one genera
tion after another have gazed upon
Vesuvius, built their villas within it's shad-
ow, and titled the fields at it's base, with
a tenacity of purpose and love OF home
that seemed born of the very spirit of de-
fance toward the mighty power within
the mountain.
1t is the birthright of man to struggle
with material nature with the clOds OF
the field and with physical elements OF
storms and earthquakes. He will build
his home nest in a dangerous place, and
when it is destroyed, he will renew the
struggle with the exercise of all his ar
chitectural skill, and create a new home
amid the ashes of the old.

Value of Cultivation.

Experiment and experience teach that
the highest aim of cultivation is not to
keep down weeds, but to conserve the
moisture of the soil and render the fertll-
ity which the land may possess more
available. Following the same line OF
thought we are finding out that weeds
are Injurious, as much for the water they
take out of the soil as for the fertility
they remove The dry weather which
prevailed over a large area of the North
west afforded the intelligent farmer a
splendid opportunity to put his soil in
position to best help itself over the disas-
ter which impended. The main point to
be remembered in fighting drouth is that
a crust must not be allowed to form on
the soil, for if it does the water passing
upwards from the subsOil is rapidly con-
veyed to the surface and evaporated. To
prevent this evaporation gardeners often
mulch their grounds in a manner entirely
impracticable, of course, in the field, but
the farmer can accomplish the same OBJ
ject by converting the upper layer OF the
soil into a mulch by finely pulverizing it.
A couple of inches, or even an inch. of
finely pulverized, mellow soilresting upon
land that has previously been well plowed,
will conserve the moisture to a most re-
markable degree. 1t probably correct
that land needs more cultivation in times
of drouth than in wet seasons.
''An ounce of prevention is worth
pound of cure" A day spent in harrow
ing corn field, before the corn is up or
at any time until it is three or fourinches
high, provided the right drag is used by
the right man, is worth three days work
later on. Hall of the labor of corn culti-
walton should be over before the corn is
an inch high. The same is true of pOta-
toes; where day is given to mellowing
the soil before the shoots appear, is worth
many days after the plants have gained
some size. One can never work land in the
most economical way where the labor
performed and the crop returned are
counted until he fully beleves-and is
governed by that belief-that cultivation
does not mean merely fighting weeds,
but rather that it is calculated to render
plant food available and hold moisture
where most needed.-Breeders' Gazette
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-07-17

This love of ones nativeplace, is a wise
principle in the human mind. 1t roots
ones interests to a certain locality, and
gives the opportunity for the develop
ment of all litsresources The earthquake
the food, and the pestilence may visit
with striking regularity those portions
of our earth that in other respects are
freighted with the rich gifts of nature
and men will bow beneath the stroke, but
they will rise again in the strength of a
mightier manhood, and efface the evi
dences of past ruin, by the results ofpres
ent prosperity. The season OF sorrow sc
recently endured by our people. the sad
weeks that hung Grape upon so many
doors, has not driven us into despair
concerning the future of Florida. There
is so much promise in the possibilities oi
our soil and climate that we wish to see
the outcome, though we may, perhaps,
receive our reward through great tribu-
lation.
The greatness of Florida is to come
through the cultivation of the soil, and
this, by the way, is the basis of all civil
ization. The products of the soil fix the
value of every thing else, and WHEN we
come to that department of agriculture
that deals chiefly in the way of raising in
perfection an edible fruit like the orange,
which has already established it's reputa-
tion as most grateful article of human
food, it is not surprising that the outlook
for the iuture of our State can only be
bounded by the demands of the millions
residing in other States and countries
that cannot produce it. The time has
already come when the orange cannot be
regarded as only delicious luxury. 1t
would be we'll if every one would read
the fine lecture delivered some years ago
in Jamaica by that eminent pomologist,
Dr. Neish. We take pleasure in quoting
few thoughts from it. He says:
'tNo one requires TO be told of the deli
cious flavor of ripe, sweet orange, nor
of the keen relish with which the fruit is
eaten, both in the countries of it's pro-
duction and in those to which it is export
ed. And yet it is just here that science
can step in and account for this fact, in a
way to prove that the average fruit is no
mere luxury, but that it contains some
most important elements of human food
In the orange fruit, mineral alkalies and
organic acids are blended with sugar and
organic fruit principle. The fruit con-
tains, besides phosphoric acid, a
small proportion of phosphate of iron
which latter substance is well known as a
medicinal tonic 1t is phosphoric acid
which helps to make wheaton bread the
staff of life, and it is this acid which gives
a zest to the orange and makes it exhil
arating and refreshing"
Many more fine qualities Of the orange
might be enumerated, but we know then
well enough to feel that we wish to live
where oranges grow. There is enough il
this business of orange growing for the
most attentive study. The condition O
success depends upon the intelligent care
devoted to it, 1t is not too much to say
that the culture of the citrus fruits in ou1
State, is yet in it's infancy, and the busi
ness has yet to assume the grand proper
tions that are to be developed by oul
ccrouopc
