Good day, Urbanus.
Good day, Rusticus.
Rust.-Quite "still" in town to-day.
Urb.-Been so every day.
R.-What think you can be the reason?
U.-Hard telling. venture not to say.
R.-Well, I do. No sale and price for
what we farmers have to sell. Just look
at the loads of wheat bound for other
towns. What can be the reason? Go
down to the elevator and ask the grad
err" and he will answer you with tears
in his eyes: "a cents bushel and q
pounds dockage.
U.-'Tis too bad with our wheat mar
ket here.
R.-Yes, with our butter market too.
Where do you suppose we farmers ex-
pect to find the merchants in town when
we enter their stores with pail or the
like on our arm? Hid behind the coun-
tiers, muttering something to themselves
about butter, butter, and anxiously wait
ing for US to to leaYe for home with the
thought, "Thesboss was not home" or,
"The trade must be closed to-day" But
if it happens that the butter peddler
takes more comfort and has more pa
tience in the arm chair round the fire
place, than the one under the counter
almost suffocated in his limited apart
ment and nearly vomiting of something
escaping from two year old butter in his
cellar and penetrating the floor, the far
mer will discover head with pencil
behind the ear, and forehead covered
with two hands, sticking out of the cor
ner IT'S the 'store-keeper." He first
takes squint at the odious butter-pail
on the counter, then complaining to him
self of his fearful headache. All he has
to say to his customer is. ooh! how bad
feel to-day" 1t takes almost yankee
cheek" to ask the merchant the short
question, "Buy butter?" The answer is,
mo, want to sell butter" If recov-
cred from his disease, he might ask
"What do you want for your butter?" If
the answer is, Coffee" as is generally
the case, he will say again, "Well, how
much coffee do you want for your butter,

swer Nothing but the thought of the
old lady at home, who yesterday took
the last kernel and who is sure to be
ready with the broom stick, if the hus-
band returns from town without coffee,
can cause the reply, "I'll take what ]
can get"
U.-'Tis really agravating. What we
need in our town are farmers elevator
and creamery.
R.-'Twould be well if we had them
and more too. A farmers store would
also be very expedient. But we have
none ofthem. AS to creamery and ele-
vator, am afraid if we farmers were to
build and run them, that we'd have to
go without coffee entirely, and probably
many other necessaries too. That
would, to be sure, make more stir in our
families, but less in your town.
U.-Well, what benefit do you sup
pose would be derived from farmers
store?
R.-Better and cheaper goods.
U.-Merchants must live too.
R.-Yes, live and let live

are scratching very hard to make their
living.
R.-Yes, living for centuries to come.

with 1877 dollars and 90 cents, can in

Cheap Money.

Money costs too much in this coun-
try. At the present rate Of interest
in Minnesota, for instance, ranging
from 10 to 20 per cent, no man can
carry on business of a legitimate char
acter, on borrowed capital; and this is
more strikingly true with the farmer.
Men who have hired money at such
y normous rates for the purpose of in
testing it in farming implements,
horses, etc., and for making improve
ments on their farms, and mortgaged
their lands as security for the pay
ment of the money borrowed, were
fortunate indeed if they did not lose
their farms. The chances for a poor
man, with little or no money, in OPEN
ing up farm, have been, and still
are, largely against him. It is not
strange that SO many farmers have
been sold out under mortgage fore
closure, but the surprise is that the
number is not much greater.
Loaning money at 20, Is, or 10 per
cent pays better than farming OF al
most any other business. Money is
not worth any such per cent. Of
course there are times when money
lis worth even more than the highest
rate here quoted. but such cases are
rare, and are not confined =. 70 really le-
gitimate business.
The high rate of interest in this
country is what is keeping back, to
ss-eat extent, improvements in many
of our farming communities. Cheap
money is what is wanted. This can
not be obtained through legislative
enactments, establishing the rates of
interest. So long as there are repre-
sentatiyes of old Shylock among us,
just SO long will you find men who

years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
uounced it local disease, and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced 1t incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be u
constitutional disease, and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.

by F. J. Cheney & Co., of Toledo,

which there seems great lack in some

two great essentials are shelter from cut

the growing season. Many of them are
unaffected by quite severe frosts, though
in Southern France the sharp, dry winds
often suffice to brown the foliage, a dis
fguration which they probably would be

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
have grove set upon rich hammock land on
the south shore of lake in Volusia county, which
has been set three years. The land very
heavily timbered with hardwood. I had it cut
and burned upon the land. Had the roots all
g'ubbed out of the circle, nine feet in diameter,
where the trees were to stand. The land was
cleared year before the trees were set The
grove has been in charge of practical and, ordi-
narily, successful orange culturist. And yet it
does not thrive. Last year large portion of the
trees had to be reset and this spring the largest
percentage of dead trees being where the forest
trees largest, over third again is dead.
Digging for hard pan or clay has failed to disclose
either in quantities enough to do any harm. The
land slopes UP from the lake so that the rear end
OF the grove is fifty or sixty feet above wa ter and
none of the land is considered too wet for thesuc-
cess of the grove Can you or any of your read
ers suggest the difficulty a remedy?
ORANGE GROWER.
1t is rather a difficult matter to tell
from your description wherein the trou-
BILE lies. We have made inquiries as to
the character of the soil and the localityin
which your grove is situated, but find
nothing that should prevent good trees
if properly set and cared for, from living
and doing well. Instead of being erich
hammock as you say, the land is kind
of a cross between high, gray hammock
and turky oak, and the texture of the
soil is a little inclined to be coarse How
ever, other parties in the same neighbor-
hood are succeeding admirably with
their young orange groves. Although
some of them have had the same trouble
as yourself in reference to trees dying,
but they are inclined to attribute it more
to the poor quality of the trees planted
than anything else.
