OUR GARDEN NUMBER.

Concerning our "Garden Number" the
Times-Union of the 18th inst says:
''Some weeks ago the editor of the
FLORIDA AGRICULTURIST solicited articles
on the subject OF the family or kitchen
garden and offered 500 in prizes for the
best four submitted by a certain date.
Numerous articles were sent in, and, by
request, the agricultural editor OF the
Times-Union consented to examine proofs
OF them and pass Judgement on their
comparative merits, no clue being given
him as to the writer identity.
"The AGRICULTURIsT of September 10
is devoted entirely to the publication of
these articles, and it is safe to say that
no more valuable number of that or
any other agricultural journal was ever
given to the Florida public. In order to
extend the good work that Editor Pain
ter has done, we here reproduce the first
prize article which was written by Mr.. l..
D. Jackson of DeLand."

On the same subject a correspondent
writes us under date of the 10Th inst.

We do not mean to say that parties
are not essential to the welfare OF the
country, for they are, and the more equal
ly they are divided the more prosperous
will be our country and the better our
government 1t is the habit of ignoring
our best interests for the sake Of follow

nees that we reprobate, and which will
in time prove disastrous to the afore-
said chest interests"

"WHY should you come to Florida" an
article containing a score of reasons why
Northern people should come to our
State, is now being published in Pratts
Patents withoutcredit or comment. The
article appeared as an editorial in the

OUR NOTE SHEETS.

1t is duty that every man owes to his
country to impart such knowledge to his
fellow laborers as will cause them to
achieve greater degree of success in their
labors and which will consequently mate
rally assist in the development of the
country. This development will in time
rebound to the interest and prosperity OF
every citizen of the State.
For the purpose OF giving those who
have had experience in Florida agricult
ure, horticulture, ETC., an opportunity to
impart knowledge to others who are less
fortunate, we established the Note Sheet
Communication Department, believing it
would be the best possible channel
through which much valuable infOrma-
ton could and would be given by the eX-
perienced to the inexperienced, by the
old settler to the newcomer. Nor were we
disappointed, for our Note Sheet Depart
ment has been great assist ance to many
and letters Of communication have poured
in upon us from every quarter from par
tics who have derived much benefit from
the monthly perusal of our Note Sheets"
For this reason we would urge upon our
people the necessity and Importance Of
keeping up the good work. Itcosts moth
ing in the way of money, and but little as
to time, to write something on sheet OF
note paper, which may appear insignifi-
cant to you, but which may be Of vast
Importance to some fellow laborer.
Our next batch of Note Sheets will be
published October Sth, and we hope all of
the old contributors, and m any new ones,
will send in their Note Sheets in time for
publication at that time.
For the benefit of those who are unac-
quainted with the conditions, ETC., OF the
scheme, we will state it again:
We give prize of S3 for the best COM
munication written on one side of one
sheet of note paper. For the second best
ST. and for the third best an elegant AG-
RICULTURIsT binder.
The communication should be addressed
to the editor of the AGRICULURlsT and
marked ''Note Sheet Communication.
Let us hear from you.

OUR POLITICS.

AS near as possible the AGRI ULTURIsT
steers clear OF the political shoals upon
which multitude of good men and an
immense fleet of still better agricultural
papers have been hopelessly wrecked, but
at this time, when we are upon the eve of
eIecting men who will go to Tallahassee
as our representatives and to whom are
entrusted the (what should beg sacred
task of enacting the laws by which we are
to be governed, it would be naught less
than treason to gather around us the
mantle of silence; it would be reprehensi-
BILE did we let our constituents-the agri-
culturists and hOrticulturistso of Florida
bindly fall into the pit so artfully laid by
scheming politicians and rabid partisans
without raising our voice and warning
them of the evils they are about to en-
counter.
There is nothing nearer Or dearer to
any man than his home, his personal in
terests and things that will have direct
bearing upon his future happiness and
prosperity. All of these things lie direct
ly within the hands Of the men you will
send to Tallahassee this fall. They are the
arbiters of your fate; they will shap
the destiny of our State, and by their acts
will our State either advance in develop
ment or sink into obscurity.
This being true, and we defy contradic-
ton, it behooves us to look carefully into
the qualifications of the would-be law
makers before we honor them with our
suffrage.
Partisanshih is the great stumbling
block to our future greatness in this re
spect. Could and would we but don the
mantle of liberalism and cast our bal
lots for the best men providing the best
men were good men) all would be we'll
our statute books would soon be Invested
of the multitude of obnoxious laws that
now press their blighting hand upon our
prosperity.
1t is the partisans and politicians that
we would caution our constituents
against. They pirate of party fealty
they urge you to march in solid phalanx
to the polls and vote for those they have
placed before you. They denounce con.
servatism as treachery, independents as
traitors. If such is the case, we say that
it is to the traitors that we must look fo1
our future welfare. Pharaphrasing the
departed Patrick Henry, il it be treason
to vote for those who will conserve the
best interests of the people, irrespectiveo
political affiliations, make the most of it
and we advise our readers to join the banC
of traitors forthwith.
If we succeed in electing to the Legisla
ture men of the right kind there is much
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-09-24

work for them to do: But we would say
that if they wish to serve the best inter-
ests of the State they will devote their
time and talents more to the repeating OF
the obnoxious and useless laws that
crowd our statute books, rather than to
the enactment of new ones. Rather let
them attempt to do away with the evil OF
too much legislation than to attempt to
remedy the evil by other enactments
which will only complicate and multiply
the evils.
First and foremost the defects in our
assessment and tax laws should be reme-
died
The railroad commission should be
abolished Or it's powers increased.
The occupation or privilege tax should
be done away with.
The inspection tax on fertilizer-a gil
gantic fraud that imposes an inspection
tax of 25 cents on all fertilizers sold in
the State whether it has or has not been
nspected-should be wiped from the
statute books.
In fact our books are so crowded with
obnoxious and useless laws that it would
require q volume to enumerate them
They are useless because they are inOper-
ative and imperative because they are
obnoxious, for laws that are antagOn-
istic to the public good, that are repul-
sive to the great majority will always be
imperative because the cannot be en-
forced. For instance there, is q law on
our statute, which prohibits q news
paper from collecting a subscription I'M
less it has written order from the SUBJ
scriber
This law was probably enacted in the
dark ages, and if tested in the courts
would undoubtedly be termed class legis
lation and declared unconstitutional.
Still it, and many morelike it, remain on
our statute books.
At therisk of being termed inconsistent
wemust however express hope that our
next legislature will take some steps to-
ward giving such counties of the State
as desire it "nO fence law" We are
aware of the fact that in many counties
of the State q no fence law would operate
a great hardship on the people, and for
that reason we ask for a county option,
rather than a general ''no fence law"
OF course a no fence law would be hard
ship to many in all counties, but laws
can never be enacted that will bear on all
equally alike, and as this is claimed to
be a government of the people, by the
people and for the people, and as the
majority constitute the people, the mi
nority must needs submit to measures
for the general good.
In many of the counties of the State
the repairs alone to the fences annually
amount to more than the entire value OF
the live stock of the county, not count
ing in the first cost of the fences, which is
an immense item and terrible tax upon
the people. For these reasons, we say,
it behooves our people to ignore party
lines to a certain extent and vote for
those men who, when they 20 to Talla-
hassee, will carry out the will of the peo-
pie, ignoring entirely the rantings and
rawlings of the ragged-mouthed politi-

Mrs. Fannie Price, wife of W. s. Price
She leaves husband, four sons and a
beloved sister to mourn her loss--a loss
which to her IS great and glorious gain.
For thirteen long months she has been q
great sufferer, enduring agonizing pain
with patient trustfulness, without q
murmer or complaint, living q Noble
Christian life. For three months she has
stood, as it were, knocking at the very
door of heaven, looking and longing for
the time when she should be permitted to
be transformed into the likeness of her
Savior. Those left, relatives and
friends, though sorely bereaved and
missing her sweet presence, can but joy
in her release from suffering and her
triumphant entrance into the rest be-

NEW YORK. May 6.-At No. 977
Broadway to-day was begun a series OF
sales through Welmerding, Morris &
Mitchell, which is said may prove to be
one of thu largest in the history of the

proceeds will amount to not less than
S., 900, 600. The sale this morning was
that of the stock of HARRISON & Leder,
jobbers, and. the whole morning was
spent in disposing of underwear and
hosiery. The sale will continue until the
stock is exhausted. The prices that the
goods brought to-day was between seven
ty-tive and eighty cents on the dollar.
Considering the time of year and oharac-
ter of goods the auctioneer thought that
the figures reached were very high. Re-
tail merchants in New York city were
chiefly buyers. The next sale Of Ihls
