W. w. Graves spent two days looking
around his farm recently. E. L. Harri-
son will run the farm this year for Mr..
Graves.
Russell Gorden has returned home
from jamestown, where he has been at
tending school through the winter.
Lille Coleman came home from the
jamestown school sick with scarlet
fever. Others of Mr.. Coleman's children
have contracted the disease, but none
are considered dangerously i'll.
Lizzie and Lena Wissinger. who were
attending school at jamestown, have had
severe time with that prevailing cpl
demic, scarlet fever. With good nursing
they we're pulled through and are now
on the road to recovery.
Mr.. Dickey has recently returned from
Washington, where he has been as be
expresses 1t, to see the "boys." Although
Mr.. Dickey did not get the appointment
of governor, he shows no signs OF sorrow,
but on the contrary looks as happy and
smiles as pleasant as ever. just wait a
little; it will be North Dakota soon and
Mr. Dlckey stands as good show to be-
come governor as any man we know OF.
The Northwestern Land Journal,
edited at Jamestown and devoted to
showing the desirability of lands in the
James River country, is very readable
paper. Many of the people who give a
synopsis of their assets when they came
here compared with their present worth,
are personally known to sand we will say
that no one who knows them will doubt
their veracity. The statements are fair
estimates of the value of their property
and will compare favorably with any
showing which could be made by farmers
in any part of the United States.
A strong effort is being put forth by
the Methodist society here to build
church this season. The people in the
vicinity are responding hberally, as are
also those of the surrounding towns. Even
old acquaintances are swelling the fund
when the matter is laid before them. We
believe a tidy little church editice, large
enough for present requirements, can be
built here and paid for if each member
will resolve himself or herself into COM
mittee of one for obtaining the means.

Will you be kind enough to give. in the FLORIDA
AGRICULTURIsT, an explicit direction for both
single and sprig budding OF the orange as done in
Florida? Also give your opinion about the value
of Limonia Trfolata stock for oranges in eli
mate like this, where we liable to severe cold
spells every three or four years. Will cassava
grow in this latitude on fat woods land?
JOHN DEHoFF.
Pass Christian, Miss.
Make cut lengthwise of the limb that
you desire to bud about an inch long; at
the bottom of the slit make another cut
across the limb, resembling an inverted
i. Your knife should be thin bladed and
SHARP. Cut your bud by beginning half
inch back of the eye and cut under and by
it carefully so as not to bruise it in ahy
way Itshould befrom three quarters to
one inch long. With the point of your
knife turn back trife the bark of the
cut in the limb; then insert your bud un-
der the bark and with a gentle pressure
shove it up until the bark covers it snug
ly. Then tie the bark down with twine or
waxed cloth made for grating purposes.
Sprig budding is done in about the same
way, except that the horizontalcut in the
bark is at the top, and the twig should
be cut slanting, SO that it will fit snugly
to the wood of the limb in which it is to
be budded. Wedo not think there is any
advantage in sprig budding, and they
are more liable to get broken out.
The Trifoliata is grown more as an or
namental plant than anything else. 1t is
very hardy and might grow with you, If

Please tell me how to prepare muck for my or
ange trees? ]. J. WILSON.
Haines City, Florida.
The plan followed by those about here
who use considerable quantities of muck
is to dig and pile it and let it drain for
from three to six months. Then it is
hauled in or near the grove andcompost-
ed with bone, potash and cotton seed
meal, in the following proportions:
Bone. pounds
+ oCtssh '1OO
COJCOn SEED meal...........
The quantity of muck used depends on
how much is intended to be put upon the
grove, and ranges from one half to two
cords to the above amount.
Editor Florida AgricuIturist:
I send you a sample OF muck taken from a lily
pond, which contains floating islands acres in
tent and about two feet thick Thesupply is abund-
ant and being on my land is comparatively easy to
get. although the depth of the pond isfrom ten to
twenty feet. I would like you, through the col
umns of your excellent paper, to tell me if you

the fresh state around the trees compost it
The sample is taken at random and contains no
smell. 1t is also, devoid of sand. and certainly
think it would be good for something. How
about mixing it with cotton seed meal applying
it in fresh state and working it into the ground.
afterwards working in ashes? Any information
will be thankfully received by G. L. L.
Eden, Florida.
We do not think it advisable to apply
muck in it's fresh state to anything but a
compost heap. After your muck has
been composted and worked it will be-
come fine, ard can be worked into thesoil
without being lumpy. For directions for
composing see answer above. You can
use ashes instead of potash, but will, of
course, have to use more of them.
