-G Wilkinson, Jr., in Times Union.
The above account sales of Tardiff or
anges looks like an oasis in q desert OF
blasted hopes, after looking oyer theprices
obtained last winter for native seeding
oranges. 1t simply emphasizes what we
have been advocating here for years past,
viz: that South Florida should grow late
oranges only-leaving the early and mid
winter market to the sections north of
this, where climatic causes render it un-
sale to keep oranges on the tree later
than midwinter.
The tardiff is not ripe before March,
and is claimed to keep on the trees in
good condition until August.
The Blood orange should not be mar
keted until they show their full blood col
or in February to April, while the Navels
may be kept safely until the latter date,
although generally full ripe in January.
We should thus have possession OF the
markets, for six mon his of the year, with
the cream of known varieties, after the
shippers to the north OF us were all QUITO
our way Thus Florida would beenabled
to supply the markets with fruit fresh
from the trees, for ten months out OF the
year, and we also have full faith that her
pomologists will eventually include the
other two months by the means OF new
varieties.
The new varieties of Bloods, such as
Colmar Blood, Jaffa Blood and Pierce's
Ruby Blood are vast improvements in
thrift of growth over the old Maltese
Blood, and are also early and abundant
bearers We now have some one year old
buds of Colmar Blood, in small stocks,
holding six to eight oranges each.
Our limited experience also tends to
show that we have at least a Navel or
ange that is prolific hearer as compared
with older trusted varieties OF Navels-
and fully as good as any in quality-the
"Melitensis Sultata," or Maltese Navel
We need not despair Of future profits in
orange culture if we will only exercise the
same careful forethought in this that we
do in other business ventures.

Home Made Fertilizers


reaping rich harvest from the owners Of
orange groves, and no doubt the pur-
chasers are obtaining some benefits from
the materials purchased, while nearly
every owner OF grove is allowing mate
rials ON his own place to go to waste, and
all but total loss as fertilizer, for the lack
of little care and attention that should
be given every day. Perhaps ten minutes
time per day and the expenditure of the
price of one ton of artificial fertilizer in
the construction of place for the saving
and composing Of the waste materials
on each ranch, would result in the manu-
facture of several cords of manure of the
very best quality, each year, upon each
ranch, where now these materials are al
lowed to lay in the sun and dry up and
lose their strength and usefulness.
In the New England States nearly every
good farmer has his barn cellar, where all
the solid and liquid droppings of the
stables are saved, and every day covered
with soil or muck All the refuse from
the house sink, hennery and stable-yards
are carefully composted or mixed. The
results are increased crops and profits. Ii
that will pay there where farm labor is
nearly as high as in Riverside, why will it
not pay here where nearly every orchard
list is beginning to use some kind OF ma
nure or artificial fertilizers because he sees
there is profit in it?
This expenditure is likely to Increase
rather than diminish, and will be a serl-
Gus drain from the profits of the orchards,
unless cheaper and more economical
methods are adopted.
To see a danger or loss ahead is one
thing Now what is the remedy? The
writer will suggest one that will help econ
omise the waste upon the ranch, one that
he himself has used and knows to be prac-
tical. In lieu of the Eastern farmers
barn cellar, excavate a hole three feet
deep back of the stables, where the ma
nure can be thrown from the stable win
o.
slope of theground so that all liquids from
the stable will drain into the excavation.
SO arrange the privy where possible that
it will be near this excavation. Make the
excavation so the groundfoor will slope
gradually up to the level ofthe heground, SO
that wagon or cart can be backed down
into it for the purpose of loading and car
rying away all manure there at the proper
time to put on the orchard and pillow under.
Cover this excavation with a roof; shakes
are good enough to keep off the sun. Then
from the lowest end of the ranch, where
the fine sediment is being deposited from
the washing of the soil by each irrigation,
bring up wagon loads of this fine soil and
place near this excavation. Every time
the stables are cleaned, step to these piles
of fine soil and throw a few shOvelfuls of
it over and upon whatever has been
thrown from the stable. The earth will
abs orb the volatile gases and ammonia,
and aid materially in decomposing the
straw that may be mixed with it, Each
time the ranch isirrigated, turn a stream
of water into this excavation SO as to
wet the material gathered there and as
sist decomposition.

Despite the Cars assertions that Russia

thing possible short Of an overt act to irri-
tate England, Germany, and Austria, espe-

Russia has no hostile intentions. Austria,
however. has shown by her acts-her vigil
liant watch on the Danube and the strength

no faith in the sincerity of the Cars de-
clarations. while SALISBURY Is quoted rs

Besides, after all, BIsNARCK's language Is a
little ambiguous. The grim old Chan

A Cnnstitnt,onal Amendment.


Wouldit not be well for the next Legis-
iature Of Virginia 10 propose TO amend the
State Constitution by giving to the Cover
nor the power 10 pass upon perfected bills
for a certain number Of days after the ie-
gislature shall have adjourned? The Con-
stitutiOn of New York contains such a Tea
ture. and it seems to wOrkwell. Governor
UuI has recently vetoed a number of bills
that had been passed by the Legislature
before its adjournment. which took place
several weeks ago. Everybody familiar
with the custom IN Congress and the VA
nous State legislatures knows that when
the time for adjournment comes near BINS
are forced through both houses by the
dozen and sometimes by the hundred.
In this State Tho Legislature, often If not
ALWAYS. has T. quit passing bills and - re-
main idle during the last day of the sos-
sion. in order 10 enable the Governor 10
pass upon the tails already in his hands.
This would not Doe necessary II Virginia
had in her Constitution such feature as
that Of which We are speaking. After the
New York Legislature sdJ0urned Governor
HILL not only vetoed number OF bills,
and signed a number. but took what the
Tin,es STYLES the unusual course OF
fling informal memoranda" explaining
his action upon the large number Of bills
PASSED bv the Legislature and left I'M
signed bv him. To list Of 1i3 hills he
prefyes the statement that such consld-
Grafton as he had been able 70 give them
in the limited time at his disposal had
rot convinced him that he should approve
them. From this remark IT appears that
tho Governor Of New York Is allowed only
few weeks to pass upon the bills left upon
his hands when the Legislature adjourns.
But even FIVE or ten days would enable
a Governor to act inteligently upon bills
which now he must either veto or else
sign without having carefully examined
them.
The constitutional feature under conSld-
Grafton bears no resemblance TO the dis
eliminating veto. This latter is highly OBJ
jectionable, 1t makes the Governor much
moro than equal TO a third chamber. 1t
clothes hIm with power 10 take TO pieces
the most perfect of bills. The Legislature
may hibtI LIic uluSl tupIhAHA rtuNN "a LH'
subject have incorporated into bill fea-
lures indispensable to its successful opera
ton, and the Governor may veto these
very features. In word, the disorimi-
mating veto destroys the dignity of the
Legislature and unduly magnifies the pow
CT Of the Executive.
We cannot think Of any good reason
why the aforesaid feature Of the New
York Consti'utio should not operate to
the public advantage. 1t adds nothing to
the Governor's powers and takes nothing
from the powers of the Legislature. 1t
has no effect that We can conceive of other
than to enable the Governor to perform q
duty more intenigently, and the Legisla-
ture TO feel free TO pass some bills which
that body might be unwilling TO pass if
the Governor had either to sign or TO
veto them within few hours after their
passage.

The CONVENTION.

Only fourteen counties will have courts
next Monday; and IL is too late now for
county meetings to BE- called for next Mon

We take it, therefore, that some OF the
delegates will be appointed in Augustine
second Monday in which month will be two
days before the day for the meeting OF the

Let them be selected when they may, the
