LAST week Mr.. A. H. Pelton gave us a
few peaches of what he called the Queen.
In we'll developed ones the suture was
very slight; skin white striped with red,
flesh white, juicy, slight nayou flavor,
measured over six inches both ways, and
considering the drouth, a very fair peach.

twenty-five to forty bananas on head. What is
the trouble with them? have about four cords
of dry COW chips that l would like to use under
my sweet potatoes in July. How shall go at it
to get it in good shape and what shall add to
it to get the best results? How far in one row
will one bushel of it go? Give us little insight
into egg plant culture. j. l. W.
Haines City, Florida.
There is a lack OF some fertilizing ele-
ment in the soil If you plant your ba-
nanas in a new place you will have larger
punches the first year, but they will then
fall back to the small punches. Bananas
to produce well each year must eplanted
in rich and moist soil and where they
can get the full benefit of the sun. If you
apply fertilizer with less ammonia and
more potash and phosphoric acid, it
would help the fruiting qualities. The
best way to use your COW chips would be
to put them in compost heap, thevalue
of which would depend on what you added
If you composted with cotton seed meal
and potash you would increase the value
of your other ingredients nearly so per
cent as the fermentation caused by the
meal breaks down the woody tissues
quickly and renders more of it available
as plant food. bushel of chips to each
100 feet of row would be little enough.
Will some of our subscribers please give
all article or two on egg plant culture

Editor Florida AgricuIturist:

Have you or any of your subscribers had guavas
or Medlars to die of what seems to be disease
of the roots? The outer bark of the roots turns
black also the main trunk for two three inches
above the ground. The first indications of disease
are the leaves falling. 1t is neither roOt-knot nor
girders have lost two Medlars and five
large guava bushes recently, and on inquiry OF
my neghbors 1 find they have been more unfort-
unate than 1. Can any one name the disease and
give a remedy? E. W. A.
Ormond, Florida.
Have any of our readers been troubled
with a similar disease. We should think
it was a variety of foot rot and can prob
ably occurred by removing all the diseased
bark from the trunk and roots and then
paint with coal tar the same as is done
with the orange tree. There is undoubt-
edly fungus growth there. We would
like to hear from others on the same sub
ject.

Editor Florida A gricuIturiSt:
l would like to talk with you and some of your
valuable correspondents, on the subject OF the
yellow spider that is infesting all our orange
groves. say all, because it seems to be general
pest. l have looked in vain for some word about
it, but up to date l have not seen the subject
mentioned Do you know if it is an Importation
from California or the Mediterranean? And have
you, or any OF your good people, remedy
to kill it. In our neighborhood it is fast Kidding
the trees of their leaves; also seeming to cause
them to drop much OF the young fruit.NI fear they
will attack the trees after they destroy theeaves
and fruit, if so, then L deem it pretty serious
state of affairs. In vicinity some are using
lime and sulphur, about the same preparation
that is used to destroy the rust mite. Iwrite this
trusting you, or some of your regular correspond
ents, have some suggestion to offer regarding its
destruction Also, what you think on the subject
of it, taken altogether. And, another thing, Mr..
Editor. think it high time we all began to cry
down the fruit crop that was extoIled SO high
during the blossoming season about two months
ago. For surely if this spider has come to stay,
and if his reign is destructive many fear,
there will be but small portion of the crop to
reach the market next season. Trees are suffering
here greatly from the drouth. We have had only
one copious shower in five weeks. So between the
drouths and the spider we are pretty badly scared.
Now, Mr.. Editor if you have thing to say on
the subject will be glad to hear from you either
through your good paper or by letter. Also to
receive any information through your contribu-
tors that are older growers and better posted on
such subjects than myself &c.
Palatka, Florida.
The spider is beginning to cause consid-
erable alarm about this neighborhood
also the drouth. We think the spider will
disappear with the beginning ofourrainy
season. We should like to have the ex-
perience of those who have been troubled
with it, AS to whether the spider is an
Importation or not we are unable to say.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

This departments is devoted to answering such

Editor Florida Agricu1turist:

Here is question for you, or your paper. How
can secure fruit on Peento and Honey peach
trees? l have about a hundred trees, set out
three years ago. pine land. They are large and
fine but bear no fruit l have fertilized them,
but have done nothing else What do they need?
j. K. R.
AS you do not say in what part Of the
State your trees are located it is hard
matter to even surmise what the cause
OF non-fruiting is. 1t may be due to a
late frost during the blooming season,
which caused short crop in many sec
tions, or your trees may be affected with
root knot and have notsufficient vitality
to hold crop. Your fertilizer should
have been worked in and your trees culti-
waited which would have helped them to
hold their fruit Pruning would have
helped them if properly done from the be-
ginning.

in gold for two watches that should com

art of matchmaking. A description Of
one answers for both. The case is OF
pure gold; the work numbers four hun
bred pieces. On the large dials appear
four smaller dials The one at the top
shows by a diagram of the sky the
changes of the moon, the firmamert
being lapis laZuli, studded with golden
stars. The next dial to the right shows
the leap year, the tiny hand moving
around the circle once in four years, and
an auxiliary hand shows each month.
Gu the dial at the bottom is hand
marking the quarter seconds, and one
showing the day of the month. At the
left, on the fourth miniature DIAL is q
hand pointing out the day of the week.
and another the tide as it GIBBS and flows
Around the large dial, besides the usual
hour and minute-hand, moves a second

an order just received from one of the
statesmen Going to the elevator chute
in the rear of the store he yelled to a
clerk or porter on one of the upper floors:

High Speed on Railroads,

There are many things connected with
high speeds on railways which tax the
ingenuity of locomotive engineers to the
utmost. The lines have to be made
strong enough to withstand the heav,
blows of the locomotive, for the Other
positions of the running plant are light
in comparison. A railway train at sixty
miles an hour may be compared to &
huge projectile, and subject to the sam,
laws. The momentum is the product q
the weight of the train multiplied by th
square of the velocity in feet per second;
