lime. Salt and Sulphate OfirOn have been

as also quick-lime and powdered charcoal,
without apparent beneficial results.
/ had considerable experience with this
form OF Fdie-back'' some years ago by the
iniudicious use of stable manure and cot
ton-seed meal. Three hundred of my trees
were attacked, scarcely one on the three
acres escaping. treated them in blocks,
and the use of the trench supplemented,
when the trench was filled in thefollowing
spring, by liberal application of ashes,
produced the greatest number OF perfect
cures, and in the least time. | lost only a
few of these trees, but those that wcrenot
treated died, and those that were treated
with a further application OF cotton-seed
meal, and also with'ammoniated CONNER
cialfertilizeI shared, withoutexception, in
the same fate.
| am also satisfied that this disease is
mildly Infectious, that is to say, | have OBJ
served greatly modified symptoms on iso-
lated trees in the immediate neighbor-
hood. but too far for actual contact,
which symptoms rarely appeared the
forms OF "die-back' sometimes occur and
occasion alarm to the grower; but | be-
lieve myself safe in the statement that
three-ffth of the cases occurring in the
State, and especially upon the pinel lands,
are the result of improper fertilization.
This practically sums up the diseases
incident to the orange tree in Florida.
Trees die, it is true, from other causes.
The environment, temporarily, is not con-
genial, and, like all things on earth, they
abandon the contest and fade away;
certain very small per cent must, as
matter of course, be given over to this
fate.
OF insect pests, treating the various
forms of wood-lice as one, we have this
and the rust mite. The former is much
more dreaded, but the latter is. from
commercial standpoint, of far greater i'm
portance. Itcannot be said that in allcase
scale insects upon the trees are an indica-
tionofcareless work ,butcertainly careless
ness opens the way to scaly trees. do not
regard this insect, as it appears in Florida;
a serious menace to the orange Industry,
burt it behooves every man striving for
success, to free his trees from them as
soon as possible. Scale Insects in great
numbers do not often appear upon thrifty,
sufficiently and properly fertilized trees,
but sometimes they do; but in all cases
the kerosene emulsion, thoroughly applied
with cyclone nozzle, is perfect remedy,
care being taken to go over the trees
second or even a third time.
The rust mite, while it cannot be re-
garded as menace, is a serious draw
back to orange culture, affecting, as it
does, the commercial value of the crop. l
am not prepared at this time to offer any
suggestions for it's abatement Expert
ments are in order, and do not despair
of a sufficient remedy in the course of a
few years. The claim that certain ferti-
Iizers will remedy either the scale pest or
the rust mite pest is absurd, and should
not be made or entertained by sensible
men.

or two he win fall into a refreshing
slumber. There may be some virtue in
this prescription, though common sense
would be inclined to suppose that the
mere bother of imagining anything what
ever would be so tiresome as to excite
the brain and Danish sleep much farther
off than ever.
Some persons, however, testified to the
complete efficacy of the breathing plan.
Alfred Since, the author Of Elements Of
Electro Biology" also attempted to solve
the puzzle why sleep. when much needed,
is often altogether denied. He referred
the whole matter to the region Of "the
bio-dynamic circuit" but the practical
prescription was to wet the top Of the
head with cold water, and he asserts
that he has thus often obtained for a
sufferer rest when every other means
have failed.
All these spirited endeavors are worthy
of much praise; but perhaps the best
prescription for avoiding sleepless nights
or parts of nights is not to take heavy
suppers, to go in for exercise and not to
sit up late, exciting the brain.-London

THE GRAPEVINE SWING.

when was a boy on the old plantation,
Down by the deep bayou
The fairest spot of all creation,
Under the arching blue
when the wind came over the cotton and corn,
To the long slim loop I'd spring,
With brown feet bare, and q hat brim torn,
And swing In the grapevine swing.
Swinging in the grapevine swing,
Laughing where the wild birds sing
dream and sigh
For the days gone by,
Swinging In the grapevine swing.
Out-o'er the water lilies bonnie and bright,
Back to the moss grown trees;
shouted and laughed with heart as light
AS wild rose tossed by the breeze.
The mocking bird Joined in my reckless glee,
longed for no angels wing;
Twas tust as near heaven as wanted to be,
Swinging In the grapevine swingl
Swinging in the grapevine swing,
Laughing where the wild birds sing
Oh, to be a boy
With a heart full of JOY
Swinging in the grapevine swing.
I'm weary at morn. I'm weary at night,
I'm fretted and sore Of heart;
And care is sowing my locks with white
AS wend through the fevered mart.
I'm tired of the world, with its pride and poTnp
And fame seems worthless thing;
I'd barter it all for one days romp,
And swing in the grapevine swing
Swinging in the grapevine swing,
Laughing where the wild birds sing
would / were away
From the world today,
Swinging in the grapevine swing.
