Growing Cucumbers on Trellises.

Bore three or four holes in the bottoms
of some old barrels for drainage; fill each
half iull of well rotted manure well trod-
den down. Cover this with six inches of
garden or other loamy soil, mixed
and well work with about one
third it's bulk of fine well rotted
manure. Set the barrels half their length
in the ground beside trellis, fence or
shed; plant melons or cucumbers in the
soil four or five inches apart and cover
with gauze or mosquito netting to pro-
tect the plants from insects. AS they
grow up train them where they are want
ed and they will form screen both USE
full and ornamental, as the vines will be
out OF the way and bear good crop.
Keep them well watered and the soil
loose and clear of weeds. Make a trelIis
Of four sticks about an inch in diameter
and seven feet long, mailing them to the
inside of good, stout barrel hoops nine or
ten inches apart. Thrust the lower ends
of the sticks in the barrel to keep the trel
lis in place. AS the vines grow train them
up and around it. On small space such
trellises are quite mental.-American

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
A Very Few Years Agone.

Few realize the immense advantage
that the settler has in Florida to-day as
compared with the home-maker here less
than ten years ago, and it may add to
our satisfaction and content to give a
few moments thought to the matter
A single decade is very short span by
which to measure human progress, but
what wonderful changes ten short years
have wrought in Florida. What an in
crease of population, what growth of Old
change in the architecture of buildings,
what a developemcnt of public schools
both in number and quality, and also of
higher institutions of education, and of
churches of varied denominations; what
contrast between the mercantile insti-
tutions, the stores of to-day and of less
than ten years ago, of the banks and of
business and public enterprises and insti-
tutions generally; what wonderful
transformation as regards hotels and
means of transportation, all to the ad
vantage of the present settler.
Those who have been here while these
grand improving changes have been
wrought, can realize the emarvelous extent
of the improvements. Then the whole
of South Florida was virtual wilderness,
with here and there little settlements
that were like angels visits, few and far
between. On foot or horseback was the

The "Ten Cent" Hog-The Other Side.

The "Ten Cent" Hog-The Other Side.
Much has been said and written about
the razor-back hog of Florida and the no.
fence law. We admit that he is not SO
slightly as the Berkshire, Pollen China or
the White Chester, and may not be as
savory, but for all of that he has done
and is doing work that these fancy ones
never could do. He has kept many a
poor ragmuffin from going to bed hungry
whereas if these finer breeds had been
turned loose with him to shift for them
selves they would have long since fallen
by the way; he is filling his mission for
which the God of nature has peculiarly
adapted him. If the no-fence law is
established it will destroy one of the most
profitable industries and perhaps the
greatest source of revenue of the
State. l refer to the cattle industry

ent upon the North for food, which would

of their only chance for meat to feed our
selves and little ones, to save them this
little expense of fencing from one to five
acres of land. [ am astonished at some
of your correspondents on this subject, we
would advise more careful study of the

usual means of locomotion. There were
few or no wagon roads, simply path
ways through the woods and the trail
often uncertain. Railroads that have
aided SO greatly in the development OF
Florida were an unknown quantity. They
were talked of but not seen, and our pres
ent lines of magnificent steamers had no
existence. Postoffices were very few and
many of the settlers had to go from ten
to thirty or more miles for their mail. No
daily papers or mails in those days for
the Floridian, native or adopted no GER
tainty with regards to supplies from the
few, small, widely scattered stores, at
times being unable to obtain even such
crude, commonplace articles as grits and
bacon. Deer, bear. wild turkey and other
game, however, could be readily secured
by even the ordinary huntsman, and there
was moderate supply of half wild scrub
cattle and the ubiquitous razor-back, the
rapacious vandal that ought to be ex-
terminated.
Magnificent orange groves then had no
existence, though the orange fever craze
was just beginning to make itself felt here
and there in the pulse of the nation, and
some had begun to set tseedling groves, the
few bearing trees about the habitations
here and there awakening in the minds of
the susceptible esthetic ideas of the posi-
BILE possession OF speedy and magnificent
fortunes.
Life here then had decidedly primitive
aspect and everything was shaped on
that basis. The settler raised sweet pota-
toes and COW peas, small patch of corn
and smaller one ofsugar cane, perhaps
little rice and perchance wasted his time
trying to keep track of few scrub cattle.
He, also, probably had a little garden
patch on plat of moist ground where
he grew a few turnips, cabbages, colIards
and possibly few other vegetables for
greens. When asked why he did not
grow this that and the other vegetable,
grain or fruit, to which those from other
sections were accus stoned, the invariable
reply was, ''Oh! those won't tgrow in Flor
ida" Primitive simplicity and ignor-
ance! The glorious climate, however,
was here. How changed is all else.

HIS MIrE-
A Husband Of six Weeks Draws
mis- Pay and skfps ous.


In May last a man going under the
name Of Charles Rocheville, and work.
ing for the Philadelphia Smelter, mar
ried a young lady named Nora Myers,
and the pair went to housekeeping on
the second mesa. Mrs. Rockville
had some money, and with her all
made the first payment on a lot Of
furniture purchased on the INSTALL
ment plan. For the past six weeks
they have apparently lived happy to-
gether. On either the I'd or Sd Of
July Rockville drew his pay from
his employers and left for parts I'M
known, without one word Of explana-
ton to his wife.
Mrs. Rockville is a lady OF very at
tractive appearance, and is entirely
above reproach in every particular.
She is left in almost destitute circum-
stances, and efforts are being made to
induce the furniture dealer to take
back the household effects and refund
her the money she paid out OF her own
pocket. Rocheville is said to have
once been on the police force Of South
Pueblo, under Chris Hahn, but at
that time he bore another name. Mrs.
Rocheville's father is a carpenter by
trade, and is at present working some
where in the Indian Territory.
The Press further learns that Roche
vile was known on the police force az
JEFF Thurston, which, from the cir
cumstances OF his having a mother
living here who calls herself Mrs.
Thurston, is supposed to be his right
name. A short time ago, so it is
stated, a woman with two children
turned up in Pueblo and made in
quiries for JEFF Thurston, and it is sur
missed that this vas a detachment Of a
former family having prior claims
upon him. Later, it is said that a
couple of Idaho officers came here
looking for JEFF Thurston who is
wanted in hat territory for stealing a
gold watch and chain. 1t is thought
that these two circumstances FASTENED
Rocheville's movements, and caused
him to tell two different stories as to
where he was going. To one person
he said that he was off for Washing
ton Territory, and to another he
stated he was going to Texas. The
deserted wife, if she really is his wife,
is deserving Of a great deal of sym
pathy.
Jeff Thurston was an employe at
the Eureka Con. refinery last Fall,
and skipped the town owing a number
OF bills. After leaving it was reported
that he had gone to Colorado.-ED.

Superior of the Sisters Academy al
Reno, paid a visit to Eureka last
Saturday, accompanied by one Of her
pupils, Miss Marie Koran. They were
the guests Of Father Nattini until Mon.
day morning, when they left on their
return trip. The academy is a home
where young ladies receive a practical
education in all the branches usually
taught at the best schools, and in some
that are not usually taught. The aim
OF its experienced and conscientious
teachers is to fit the pupils for a life
OF reality. usefulness and social happi-
ness. Instead OF burdening them
with rules and regulations, they train
them.by example to love discipline and
application, morality, ~politeness,
tldiness, and whatever may enhance
the qualities OF the mind and heart. |
Incentives TO emulation and develop
ment Of talent are held out from time
to time, and every aid is afforded to
the attainment Of knowledge. A
motherly are is taken OF the pupils
health, their physical improvement
being held as important as the mental.
Pupils Of any religious denomination
are admitted without any interference
only their presence being required
with the rest at the various exercises
OF the academy. The terms for tuition,
board, etc, are very reasonable and
kept within the reach OF any parent.
