The crime which most nearly resembles
those of the Whitechapel fend was the muir
der of Mary Ryan and her brother Nicholas
Ryan, at No. 20i Broome street, in December,
1878. Three lives were really taken, because
Mary Ryan vas found TO be enceinte The
murder of this sister and brother was q most
bloody one, and, like the one which cost Fora
Burns her lie at Lincoln, Ills, in 1888, was
probably committed to shield the poor girls
hetrayer. Undoubtedly the brother was
killed while trying to avenge his sister He
engaged his slayer in tremendous struggle
Mary was found lying with her face on the
bed mattress with her throat cut from ear to
ear Her brothers body lay in the hallway.
His throat was also cut, but the floor and
walls were bcspattered with blood, and there
were signs of q desperate struggle. The
brothers body was clothed in night attire.
and it was evident that he had been wax
ened by the struggle which cost his sister her
life, and i'll going to her assistance had lost
his own. TIE name of Mary Ryan's betrayer
and the slayer of herself, her brother and her
unborn infant has remained a secret for fif-
teen years
Annie Dovney was q flower girl and was
well known about town in 1879 and 1880.

In personal appearance she was attractive
Early i'll 1850 she was found dead in house
kept by a woman named Sundt in Prince
street More of the Whitechapel crimes ex
ceeded this one in atrocity. The girls head
was tied firmly to tho bed on which she lay,
and she was cut in several places Who did

to find out and couldn't, nor did they ever

%, at No. n James street, in September,
1884. Equally mysterious was the death of
aRaanknown woman whose body was found
at the corner of Elizabeth and Bleecker
streets in 1876 The murder of Mary Howard
in East Eighty first street about ten years
ago was never satisfactorily explained 1t
was supposed that her husband killed he;',
but that fact was never fully established, and

yellow sand, the better method is to keep
the trees clean atall times, and the soil
stirred around them so far as the tree
produces whole or partial shade to the
ground; as for the rest, keep it covered
all the year, if possible, with some form
of growth, either alive or growing or
dead, and mulching the ground
The usual methods, with young groves,
to run a six foot harrow on each side of
the tree row in one direction only, and to
give up the rest of the land to the natural
growth or to cultivate thereon the cow
pea. With the latter, the general method,
though not the best one, is to broadcast
before the summer rains. Some turn
them under green in August and Septem-
Der, and others in October. A letter
method is to drill the pea, and cultivate
them till they take the ground, letting
them die and rot upon the surface during
the winter months.
am not, however, an advocate of the
cow-pea for orange groves. 1t may do
well for fields and gardens, but it's growth
is too rank for the grove. The claim
that it is an air feeder is delusive. 1T has
a good healthy appetite for $50 fertil-
izers, and have known two centers of
coW-peas to unite their roots across a
o1o Of or1 tCI nd
feet wide that had been fertiIized with
high grade manures. In a question of the
survival Of the fttest, the young orange
trees stand poor chance beside the vo-
raciOus coW-pea. The native crab-grass
is good Samaritan compared with it.
When there is sufficient moisture in the
ground to bear it, the natural growth,
which will in year or two be crab-grass,
should be allowed full swing after the 1st
of June through the centers. 1t will grow
luxuriantly, and require constant curb
ing to keep it from the trees, but this
care must be taken and space seven or
eight feet be kept clean and constantly
cultivated. Never turn this grass under
green; indeed it is better never to turn it
under at ALL When the autumn comes
on it will die and Immediately begin to
rot at the bottom. Allow it to cover the
ground all winter, and in the spring run
the Acme harrow over it a few times, and
it is broken to- pieces and mixed with the
surface soil where it belongs. Turning
under green pea vines or green grass in
jures the trees and destroys the prospect
of good fruit. Flowing grovefour years
old is, inmy Judgment, amistake, and the
proper and persistent use of the Acme
precludes it's necessity.
In the ffatWood soils in dry years the
culture should be as above; in wet years,
neither the plow nor harrow should be
used, nothing but the hoe; otherwise the
cultivation is the same.
In the black hammock nothing should
ever be used but the hoe. The grove
should be covered three or -four times in
the year, cutting down every ything to lie
on the ground, taking care that young
trees are not shut off from sunlight and
the free circulation of air. From the bare
surface, however, the heat and light
should be excluded as much as possible

the grass takes away the.food of the or.
ange trees; the answer is, fertilize heavily
enough and in such manner that there
will be plenty for'both, If there is moist
ure enough the food question need not
be grave one. This brings face to face
with the serious business of the orange
grower, how to fertil1ze, when to fertilize,
and what quantities should be used.
ON THE USE OF FERTILIZERS.
On the alluvial hammocks of the east
coast, over mari, groves that have been
bearing for twelve or fifteen years show
no difference in brightness, sweetness,
fneness of texture, weight or abundance
of the crop, by the use of any kind of
fertilizer 1t is evident, therefore, that
this class of lands throughout the State
do not need help of that kind as yet. OF
course it is a question of time, but the
Indications at present are that the evil
day is far off. The gray hammock, over
clay, yellow sand, limestone or. coquina,
will make trees five or six years of age
without fertilizer, but to trespass farther
than that is to invite a catastrophe.
The strong argument for the best pine
soil over the hammock is, that the judi
cious cultivator of the former begins at
once to build up his soil, while the injudi-
cious cultivator of the latter begins at
once to sap his. In few years they are
on a par, and in few more years the
pine land is much the better of the two
After short time, then, the gray ham
mock (apd for the beginning, all pine soils)
should be fertilized, and the manner,
quality and quantity should always be
with reference to the ultimate. object Of
the production of first-class, marketable
fruit rather than the mere growth of the
tree. My own opinion is that on our best
pine soils ammonia is used to excess, and
that very serious results followed, in
large, coarse fruit on the one hand, and
in the impairment OF the vitality of trees
on the other.
A scientifically constructed manure may
not in theory be a stimulant, but in prac-
tice it will depend entirely upon the
amount of moisture present in the soil
whether it shall SO act ornot. The whole
question is adifficult one, and any decided
opinion will cross many theories and con-
ficting interests. am, however, firmly
convinced that the supply of moisture
should be the guide to the manner OF
fertilizing On very dry pine lands am
monia may be used i'll large quantities;
on more moist lands greater care must
be exercised, and the less soluble forms
used.
Commercial fertilizers with more than
per cent ammonia are dangerous, especi-
ally in the hands of ignorant men. The
| Injunction of the makers to cast it upon
the ground outside the circle of feeding
roots of young trees is providential in it's
nature, as it permits much of it to be
dissipated before the eager rootlets are
destroyed Tt is wise direction and one
upon which | lay much stress.
None Of these objections, however, at
tach to ammonia inits sO-called insOldble
forms contained in pure raw bone. and

into little hills and ndcorrespondingv valleys,
is the worst, and there are many grades
between. These are the soils upon which
orange growing has made the most rapid
advances in the last few years, and as we
learn more of the methods OF fertilizing
and cultivating every year, | see no reason
why the pine lands should lose the pres
tige they have gained.
VARIETIES ADAPTED TO LATITUDEs.
have thus briefly. touched upon where
our fruit is grown, and the extent and
variety of soils utilized 1t remains to
set forth our methods of cultivating and
fertilizing for the best results upon each.
The mere growing of orange trees in
Florida is within the capabilities OF any
man. To grow an orange that will bear
transportation to market and sell at
good price, is quite another question. 1T
is possible, however, upon any of our
soils, provided the variety is suited to the
location and the method adapted to the
soil, with due regard to the subsoil and
the supply of moisture throughout the
whole year. Varieties should be chosen
with respect to. time of ripening. The
northern portion of the orange belt
should take the market for October and
November, with the Early Oblong and
Sweet Seville and kindred early sorts, and
believe if every tree north OF Lake
George, excepting here and there in
favored spots, were rebudded to these it
would, in the near future, be gainful to
the owners in greater profits, and to the
State in an infinitely better, that is to
say, q ripper orange for the early market.
From Lake George south, to 2S19 degrees,
December is salways perfectly safe month,
ard should be the great market month
for that section. South of 2SA the late
varieties may be grown with perfect
safety, and the profits would be greater
if only such were grown, as is proven by
the Indian River country, where fruit
possesses the peculiar quality Of ripening
late and hanging on the trees in a per
fectly sound and sweet condition until
March and April But these are more
properly market questions, and touch
them only in passing.
METHODS OF CULTURE.
Inspeaking of cultivation, shall group
the pine lands and the gray hammock to-
gether where the methods essential to
success are much the same. 1t may be
promised of an orange tree in Florida
that it must be set high, with it's crown
roots showing well above the ground. No
matter how the tree sets in the nursery,
this rule must be followed. No after cul-
tivation can make up for this defect. 1t
should also be taken for granted that
trees are thrifty when set. The object OF
cultivation then is to induce a moderate,
normal and healthy growth, with the
ultimate end in view of producing paying
quantities of marketable fruit. To this
end moisture may besaid to be the prime
factor, assuming that all the elements
of plant-food are in the SOIL either. natu-
rally as in the hammOcks or artificially
as in the pine soils. Thesupply ofmoisture
therefore determines the method Of culti-
waiting.
