Colonel Goodwin. The difficulty occurred
at the residence Of Colonel Goodwin. where
Pendlton and his wife live. The trouble

''The necessity of having an assistant in
chemistry was shown to the board oftrus-
tees at their annual meeting in June,
1888, and Mr.. John j Earle, a recent
graduate of the University of South Car
olina was employed at the opening ofthe
fall term, October 5, 1888. Mr.. Earle
had received good training in analytical
chemistry, and has proven most indus
trious and competent assistant. During
the fall and winter many requests for
analyses of muck, soils, waters, etc., have
been made, and, as far as practicable, the
work has been done, and the results will
be given in future bulletins.
"The new laboratory is rapidly ap-
preaching completion, and will be the
equal, for it's size, of any in the South in
equipment and personnel"
In conclusion, may remark that it is
the desire of the director and his staff to
make this experiment station an eminent
ly practical one in it's results to the inter-
ests of Florida. Respectfully submitted

and the manipulation OF bees can be fa-
miliarized from any standard work on
bee culture procurableat the book stores,
Quntry's, Prof Cooks, Kings or Lang
stroth' sworks are all practical text books
on the subject.
To Reader" [ will say that the locali-
ty has much to do with the prosperity of
the colony. If in the vicinity of a heavy
hammock or cypress swamp his colonies
would be in the condition he states.
Should the season advance with con-
tinuance of dry weather. the sources of
honey would naturally dry up. brood
rearing cease, they would kill off their
drones and that would naturally place
them in a non-swarming condition. If
the queens are slack in brood rearing,
raise young queens early the coming sea-
son, after which destroy those likely to
be impaired by age as unfertile. Bees
generally throughout this State have fur
nished but little honey the present season.
Young queens and strong colonies at the
commencement of the honey flow are the
conditions required to get good crops of
honey, if it is secreted by the flowers.

Fig Culture.

am often asked which is the best fig
for the table and market, writes T. Matt
land in the Hollister Free Lance | will
answer through the paper few of these
questions:
The White Adriatic was introduced
from Sicily, and is considered to be the
finest drying fig yet produced in Califor
MIA. When grown on drained soil, it is
as far superior to the common figs as the
Bartlett pear is to the wild pear. 1t is
perhaps the most profitable of all fruits.
The fruit is very large, skin is thin like
tissue paper, and of a greenish-yellow
color; the pulp has thecOlOr OfcarnatiOn
is exceedingly aromatic like the highest
type of favored condiment or marma-
lade, being oily and sweet. A perfect
Adriatic fig | consider the finest fruit
grown. The tree needs well-drained soil
and dry ground to produce good fruit
On moist ground the fruit is insipid, in
fact is worthless both for table and
drying purposes. | believe this fig will
come to be of the highest Importance in
this State, as well as 10 others which have
a climate like ours or that of the Mediter-
ranean countries. Fig trees should be al
lowed to branch out from the ground,
and should never be pruned like other
trees after the head has been oncefOrmed.
Only branches interfering with one an
other should be cut out. The topping
back" of fig tree causes it to produce
coarse, poor and thick-skinned fruit,
which will in no way resemble the fruit
from properly trimmed trees. The roots
are very tender, and great care should
be exercised in planting to keep them
moist and not allow them to become dry
The San Pedro or apple fig is the lar
gest fig in existence. The skin is golden
yellow, shaded green. The fruit is very
palatable and is good table fig, also
commands goodmarket. The tree bears
early and abundantly.
The Brown Turkey is a very large fig,
and is the earliest fig in the San Francisco
market
The Mission is the large, black fig COM
mon in California, is a good grower and
bearer, but not fine fgin otherrespects.
The Brunswick is the largest black fig
known, and ripens early in June. 1t pro-
duces successive crops up to September
The Bulletin Smyrna No. 1 is the fig
imported from Smyrna by the San Fran
cisco Bulletin. 1t is said to be very fine,
though as yet | have not seen the fruit.

Questions in Bee Culture Answered
Director.

Questions in Bee Culture Answered.
The inquiries of Messrs. 81. w. S." and
Reader" in the Correspondents col
umn, will reply to, trusting that other
apiarists will also give their views on the
same, as the inquiry of 81. W. S." is one
that any one of your readers may be-
come interested in at short notice by the
capturing of an absconding swarm of bees
or the discovery of a bee tree.
Were in the position that e. w. S."
claims to be, would make my advent
among the fraternity as box hive bee
keeper, and go to work accordingly,
acquiring my knowledge by close
observation and a careful perusal Of
any works on agriculture that could be
procured in the neighborhood until some
thing better turned up, which will be in a
very short time, if his enthusiasm is on a
par with that of the average amateur
bee-keeper. If the bees are still in the
tree, do not CIT it until honey is coming
in, or about the time they are liable to
swarm Make box hive ten by twelve
inches inside and thirty inches high, with
cross sticks to support the combs; into
this box you can easily run your bees by
placing it upon the ground and shaking
the bees a short distance in front, when
they will soon enter. Shade the hive un-
TIL evening, then remove them to where
you wish them to remain.
A good plan would be to suspend some
pieces of the sealed brood larvae and eggs
in their natural position from the cross
sticks, n order for them to rear a young
queen should the old one be lost in any
manner. In few days, il honey is COM
ing in, new comb will be built and the bees
will be in fair way to care for themselves,
if kept away from the depredations of
ants.
For box honey, q small box placed over
an inch augur hole on top OF the hive will
soon be filled ii the honey flow warrants
in case swarm issues during the honey
season, in which it can be hived with but
little trouble, remembering that the old
queen always leads the first swarm and
that young queen reared the present
season will seldom swarm if sufficient
room is given to store honey or rear
brood. This method can be practiced
until sufficient knowledge is acquired OF
bee culture, when the second seasons
swarms can be hived in movable frame
hives, and after the swarm has issued
twenty-one days drive out the bees and
melt the comb Of the original box hive,
unless you wish to transfer it to the NOV
able frames as a matter of economy. In
the meantime the method of transferring

plants, as teosinthe, milIets and various
sorghums are being tested as to growth
and availability.
Asmall herd of Jersey COWS are at the
Station, and especial foods, with their ef-
fects upon milk and butter, viii be a sub
iect of future investigation.
Small areas OF oats, corn, rice, cotton,
peas, potatoes and sugar cane are being
planted to ascertain the effects of varying
quantities OF fertilizers.
From the lack of suitable apparatus
and rooms little has been done in ento-
mological research, and until both are
supplied, little should be expected in this
department..
A collection of insects has been begun,
and plans formulated for experiments
with insecticides, in connection with the
study of the life-history of insects that af-
feet the tobacco plant, which is the sub
ject selected for this years work.
There being few published reports on
the insects of Florida, and these not reli-
able, makes the study of the habits of
those insects known to be destructive
quite an undertaking, and one that will
require the labor of several years at the
least.
In botany, it is contemplated to inves-
tigate the distribution and habits of our
common weeds, and to ascertain their
value in any degree for forage land i'm
provement, or medicinal uses.
Studies in crOss-fertilizing will be car
ried on whenever practical, and efforts
made to propagate new and valuable
crosses of fruits, vegetables and plants
