CHAPTER II.

Esias had welded a beautiful, amiable
and accomplished Athenian, who had died
only two years previous, but, indeed, it
see1aed many, many years, as she had left a
frightful void in the household. Paulus,
their son, now past twenty, had loved his
mother passionately, and her absence had
left him sad and desolate, which express
SIGN was always to be seen in his soft,
dnk-brown eye. His features were of a
noble Athenian type, inherited from his
mother. together with her affectionate and
loyable disposition. To look upon his lofty
brow, clear eye and frank expression,
would be sufficient TO convince one that
Paulus could never be invoked in vain for
mercy. He had a three-year old sister,
little Ruth, to whom he now turned with
all the warmth and election of his nature.
Ruth was dark-eyed, curly-haired, with an
ever laughing, happy expression. With a
warm child-like love she chung to her
brother. Paulus was all in all to her.
To say that Esias was Indifferent to his
tchildren would be unjust, for he did love
them, although in cold, selfish way. He
labored to amass wealth for them, but he
refused that gentle affection which would
have made the home hearth so much hap
pier than the mere cold goods of the world
could possibly have done. So, as days and
weeks passed by, the children, instead of
becoming accustomed to their mothers alb
senNe, missed her even more and more.
This evening as Esias entered the room
where his children were entwined in each
others arms. he had only stern look for
them. his own brow being furrowed as
though engaged in anxious thought Nc
one save the All-Seeing Eye fathomed that
interior and saw whether Esias was toy

CHAPTER TX.

That night so old, yet always new, was
the twenty-fourth OF December, nearing
the twelfth hour The wonderful story of
that wonderful night has oft been told,
and it may seem presumptious for US to
touch it now. Bat its hearty attracts,
enchains US, and each time we listen to it
it is as if it were tue first. Nay, more than
that, each time we hear it more marvellous
does it seem, more latent beauty do we
discover than when first we received it in
our childish hearts at our mothers knee.
That night it was that heaven STOPPED to
kiss earth, giving earth what makes heaven
heaven, the incarnate God No wonder then
that a sweet song broke forth from far above
and far beyond the planet worlds, that
myriads of bright winged spirits should
take up the gloria which broke forth from
the whole hierarchy of dazzling angels and
make heaven and earth resound with the
glad tidings of great JOY. The very angels
seemed impatient to impart the spirit of
alteration that was bowling them down.
So they made their bright presence visible,
and their angelic voices audible to the simple
and pure of heart, to the unsuspecting, faith
full shepherds who were tending their
fiocks that night in Judea's lonely hills.
With the impetuosity of youthful innocence
they received the message, and ioyful.y
fastened, not questioning, not doubling, to
offer the homage of their loving hearts to
their new born King. In their hurried,
rapturous journey they awaken little,
sleeping child, who, fearing the darkness
that surrounded her, began to cry, and
that little wall seemed to i'll harmonic with
the gladness that should fill all the hearts
of Gods creatures. An old shepherd was
arrested by the sorrowful sob, and,
prompted by charity, stopped to see whence
it came, finding little Ruth. His new joy

Shortly after the recent death OF Mr.

made to establish conclusively and
permanently the fact that he was not
only responsible for their publication,
but that he had written the "Arthur

was made, Mr.. Rlce's close friends
thought that the real author should
come forward and assume the RESPONSE

l.. B. WOMBWELL,
Commissioner.


Bulletin No. 6 of the Florida Expert
mental Station, contains the following:
Since the establishment OF the Florida
Experiment Station, seeds of many forage
plants have been sown in the hope offnd-
;ng something that would give either win
ter pasture or ensilage. The results have
not been very satisfactory, the usual
drouth that occurs in April or May in
Florida having proved fatal to nearly
all plants that have survived to that
date.
No perennial plant has been tried that
has proved of any value, but an annual
clover-T Trifolium Incarnatum L., the long
headed or Crimson Clover-a native of
Italy probably, has for two seasons given
promise of excellent results, enough to
justify an extended trial over the State,
especially the clay lands of the northern
and central tier of counties. It's annual
habit is somewhat of a drawback, but it's
rapid growth and accommodative abil-
ity to endure the peculiar climatic condi--
tions of Florida, renderit worthy of study
as prospective winter pasture plant,
the coming ensilage material, or plant
for dry forage.
The growing interest in ensilage, and
the conviction that this will solve the
question of better cattle in Florida, more
milk and butter, with better farms, better
gardens and better health as results,
makes this clover especially interesting
at this juncture.
Experiments made at the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experimental Station, have
shown that ensilage made with we'll rip
ened Red Glover, Trifolium Pratense, was

For THE FLORIDA AGR1cULrUR1sT.
A Correction.

There seems to be considerable confu-
sion in the minds of the average farmer in
regard to the new methods of irrigation,
and my statement, however wild, might be
accepted as gospel truth by some, and
not wishing to add to this confusionI de-
sire to call your attention to a few errors
and omissions in my article on the Marsh
System" The types makes me RESPONSE
BILE for the following astonishing state
ment on page 1859: Gas it is applied be-
low the surface it is held from sinking in
to the subsoil by the atmospheric evapor-
alton, etc" What did write was, "Asit is
applied below the surface it is held from
sinking into the sub-soil by the water
tight pan, and is little affected by atmos-
pheric evaporation, ,!etc." You will llreadily
see the addition of the few words omit
ted, makes statement calculated to take
a thinking mans breath away, appear
more reasonable.
1t is unfortunate this commission should
have occurred, as the fact of the water
tight pan holding the water from sinking
into the subsoil is the point in which the
''Marsh System" differs from most other
methods and what gives it it's value in
The Florida agriculturist., 1889-09-11

that it was not necessary to run it through
a cutting machine, and the expense of fl
ling the silo was very light.
This, to our average farmer, who is de-
TERED from trying ensilage by the cost of
the usual machinery deemed essential, is
no slight advantage the clover has over
corn, millet, and other crops.
Ii the Crimson Glover can be grown
cheaply on our poor lands by the use of
mineral fertilizers. it's habit of ripening
during the dry season Of May will enable
our farmers to put it unhurt into silos,
and avoid the usual wasting of fodder
that is so prevalent in June and July,
giving a succulent food during the winter
hitherto not available, or by curing it
obtain superior hay that chemically is
little inferior to the average of eleven
clovers that are in common use over the
world. These analyze in 100 parts of
the dry plant:
1918 parts flesh making principles.
3.76 parts fat making principles.
Al. .4S parts heat making principles.
The Crimson Glover, in 100 parts, dry
plant:
1850 parts flesh making principles.
3.73'parts fat making principles.
$3.50 parts heat making principles.
The addition to the Crimson Glover
of small ration of wheat bran, corn, or
cotton seed meal, will bring it to the
standard, or nearly SO, of other forage
plants of this class.
OF course, in Florida, where other clo-
vers will not grow well, is this Trifolium
Incarnatum especially recommended.
October 20, 1888, a small plot of old
worn out land was fertilized at the rate
of one ton to the acre, of well rotted sta
BILE manure. This was spread broadcast
and plowed in. November 10th, shallow
burrows, eighteen inches apart, were
opened and the seed of the Crimson ClO-
ver-ffteen pounds to the acre-thinly
scattered, and covered with one furrow.
The clover came up fairly well, and by
February LIST the ground was hidden by
it's growth. In March it was plowed out
with a "bull-tongue, and when weedy it
was hoed out.
By the first of June the stems averaged
two feet in height, and when cutit yielded
at the rate of seven and one-half tons of
green feed per acre, or nearly two tons of
dry hay, which was greatly relished by the
cattle at the farm.

Ground Itch.

The ground itch is not disease pecu-
liar to Florida or any other country; it
can be found anywhere, and is very trou-
blesome and painful. A correspondent
ofthe Dispatch writing on the subjectsay
This is a bona fide trouble, and no doubt,
yet during seven years of continual resi-
dence in Florida, not a member of our
family has had it. We believe that those
who wear shoes are more liable to it than.
those who don't, for this reason, that the
feet being incased in stockings and shoes
in warm weather, perspjre very freely, and
there is great amount Ofdust and CRIME
which finds it's way through the shoes up
on the feet. This, combined with the nat
ural heat of the feet, soon starts itch.
Therefore, the sure epreventiveisco is continual
and scrupulous cleanliness of the feet.
We do not believe that exposure to dew
has anything to do withit. After the itch
is started, it can be speedily cured by fre-
quent bathing with tar soap (Which is a
valuable article for the whole bath during
the warm weather). After the feet are dry
from this bath, touch the itching spots
with feather dipped in turpentine. A
good bath with tar soap, once or twice a
week, after the itching is relieved, will ef-
fectually prevent a return OF the trouble.
