Some practice clean culture part of the
season, and then let the weeds and
grass grow, and in the fall, gather it
in heaps, throwing soil over it, leaving
an aperture at one side, then setting fire
to it and burning After the grass has
been consumed, the soil is scattered even
ly over the ground again. This is called
burning the land, and is said to i'm.
prove the land very much. The samc
mode of cultivation applies to most of the
citrus family.
There is no trouble in growing the
fruits. Anyone with moderate degree of
intelligence, combined with energy and de-
termination to win can be successful.
think we should pay more attention to
the cultivation of the lemon, especially in
the more southern portion of the State,
and in other favorable localities.
There is a growing demands for thefruit,
which is necessity. There wereimported
into this country during the past year,
$3, 1855 ,983 worth of lemons. Now Mr.
President, | think that Florida should
have this trade. 1t has been demon
strated that we can grow as fine lemons
here, as any country III the eworld. There
is no secret about handling the fruit. 1t
is not nearly as perishable as the orange,
if gathered at the proper time. The
mode practiced in most countries is,
when the lemon attains it's proper size it
is picked and wrapped Elm good paper
and packed away in boxes in some close,
dark place, occasionally sorting them
over and removing the decayed ones.
They are often kept in this way for six
months before being sent to this market
Have kept them in the same way, losing
scarcely any of them.
They will all color up nicely; many
dealers in this country color them by
placing them in close rooms and keeping
the temperature at certain degree for
given time, sometimes burning sulphur,
which mode requires but short time. 1

their description of the disease, with
treatment. This disease consists of a
gummy oozing, generally occurring
either in the spring or in the autumn. 1t
attacks the trunks of the trees just above
the surface of the soil, or else the roots
themselves. This disease commences to
show itself by some drops of gum appear
ing on the trunk, which still appears
sound, but this spilling continues increas-
ing, the bark is perforated and the flow
OF gum augments, being fluid, turbid,
grayish in color, and of bad smell; the
bark then raises, drying, or rotting on
the roots, and the plants which COM
mences to turn yellow, weakens and dies.
Recent studies ofthis disease haveproved
that it's existence is to be attributed to a
group of Spheroids Where this fungus
does not exist, there is no disease; where
the germs of it do not reach, the disease
cannot unfold itself, and where the condi-
tions of life are wanting for this small
vegetable, whether proceeding from ma
ture,or artifcially the fungus dies and the
disease is extirpated. The fruit of this
fungus msitself about the end of July or
August, being preserved during the winter
for propagating it's spores in the spring
The best remedy against this disease, and
which from experience has given the best
results, is sulphurous acid, mixing fifteen
bulks of sulphurous acid, concentrated at
$50 Baume, with 100 liters of water.
Method of application remove the earth

dug deeper, but with great.care, SO as not

off, as also those which are in a state of
putrefaction, and these roots should be
burned Afterwards all the sickly portions
of the trunk until the bark is saturated,
are well moistened with the prepared
liquid, as are likewise the diseased parts
of the roots that may be met with in such
condition. 1t is estimated that about
five liters are sufficient, and another five
liters for irrigating in the vicinity of the
tree. The hole is then filed up with either
new soil or the burned earth, and after
wards watered lightly. Ten liters OF this
water saturated with sulphurOus acid are
more than sufficient for tree somewhat

The American Girl:

The great French actress, Nine.
Jane Hading, writing from Paris to
the New York World, says of the
American girls: "Most of the young
American girls it has been my lot to
meet possessed beauty like the En-
glish and piquancy like the French,
with something added in the shape of
health and spirits, producing Il tone
of mind and frame of body we know
little about in France. They dress
prettily, with just touch of eccen-
tricity, which, however, becomes them
exceedingly we'll. They are genuine
from head to foot, and perfect little
Parisiennes in their way. The def
erence paid to them by the male sex is
warranted by the fullness of qualities
thew possess. They are, in fact, an
epitome of every creatures best Be-
sides the beauty and piquancy L have
alluded to, they have vivacity of in
tellect, an aptness of speech and ad-
dress, and noble uprlghtness of pur-
pose, which include every charm, and
here again they combine the Gallic
and Saxon blood. Nowhere in the
| world are women so tenderly and so
\ carefully considered as in the United
States, and that is no doubt why the
| United States is the only country in the
world-not including my own-where
the young girl is the chief parsonage
and characteristic type. Whether
brunei in New York, blonde in Boston,
OF sparkling andlanguid creole in New
Orleans, they rule supreme"
