about right. Slip the bag over the
bunch of grapes, double and fold the
mouth close around the stem and pin it
securely with a common toilet pin. Then
clip a small hole in the lower corner of the
bag with a pair of scissors.
2. We know OF no effective way to des-
troy the sparrows but to shoot them.
Some succeed in using bird lime, sticky
substance which holds them and prevents
their flying. AS a rule, birds are more
useful than harmful, and should not be
destroyed. Don't know how you would
poison them.-Southern Cultivator.

The March number OF the New England
Magazine will be remarkable for it's many
portraits. In the article on the Supreme
Court of the United States," there will be
given likenesses of more than dozen of
the great justices. In an exquisitely il
Illustrated article on Chautauqua, will be
found striking portraits OF Bishop Vim

time the portrait of Henry W. Grady will
be especially appreciated. "A Successful

Bagging Grapes.

1. Please inform me what time is con-
sidered best to put grapesin bags? What
size should the bags be? Should the
bags be thick or thin paper? And any
thing else you know about bagging
grapes.
3 Is there any way to kill the sparrows
and jay birds ? Can they be poisoned?

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
To Pray for Protection.

On the 10Th and 10th OF February a
Al citing will be held in Ocala, at the Semi
Tropical Exposition, for the purpose OF
appointing a committee to represent and
present the petition at Washington ask
ing for duty to be placed upon oranges.
This committee will represent one OF our
most important Industries that relate
largely to the prosperity of the State.
The railroads will also be represented
at the meeting, and from their body will
be officially appointed committee to
represent the interests of the citrus fruits.
The Farmers Alliance and Florida
Fruit Exchange and Horticultural Soci-
ETY. of the State have sent petitions and
memorials to Congress, and it is the Office
of this committee to be present at Wash
ington and solicit recognition of one
OF the most important of our State claims,
one that cannot be overlooked by any one
interested in the welfare of Florida.
The Importance OF the meeting and a
hearty cooperation cannot be Over-esti-
mated, when we consider the prospect be-
fore us of being injured to the extent OF
really making what is now fairly profit
able industry one of no value whatever,
to the railroads, the merchants and 9TH
ers who derive an income from the groves
of the State that are being formed at
great expense.
The Mexicans at Cordovia are making
great preparations to capture the mar
kets of the United States, with a fine
class of fruit, their cheap labor and fine
climate, with rich soil enables them to
compete to the extent that whatever
they net it will pay them.
We will next consider the West India
Islands, which are also making prepara-
lions and at present with the Mexicans,
are we'll advanced toward the point when
they will be shipping millions of boxes
at present over $4,000 boxes are on the
way from the Mediterranean. 1t is Mex
leo we have to consider first. Their fruit
ripens in October.
The failure of the sugar crop in the
West Indies and along the coasts of
South America turned the attention of
planters to more profitable Industries,
and what could be more tempting than
the growing OF citrus fruits, with the as
sistance of English and French capital
at 3 per cent, and with cheap labor.
Capital has been freely invested, and fur
thermOre a line of steamships are to run
from New Orleans to convey their pro-
ducts. Companies interested in the steam
ships have invested IS 100000 on the
prospect of a large business. Mexico has
the advantage also of home capital at
low rates. Millions of buds of our best
varieties of oranges have been purchased
and shipped to Jamaica from Florida,
therefore it is easy to see the outcome of
this immense competition, that threat
ems the total collapse of the orange in
dustry of the State unless prompt meas
ures are taken to secure legislation that
will secure those who are dependent upon
the growing OF oranges for their support.
Therefore, all who can, are earnestly in
vited to attend the meeting.
