atively, and then it is liable to injury
from worms and fungus growths, which
causes it to rot sometimes before maturi-
ty or soon after being dug. Even in rich
garden spots or cowpens on pine land,
when there is much vegetable matter in
the soil, the rot assails the potato and
renders it almost worthless.
The above crop was free from any dis
ease or enemy, and seed potatoes were
saved for fall planting.
The potato after being dug, if housed
in a dry dark room Or under the house
where it is dry, and spread out, not being
allowed to bulk, will keep bright through
the summer and fall If housed where
the light is not excluded, they become
watery and the skin greenish, rendering
them unfit to eat.
The Irish potato as a paying
crop is rather doubtful in North
ern. Florida, unless it can be made, in
larger quantities than the above expert
ments indicate, and unless it can be mar
keted earlier than other sections more fa-
vorable to it's production. The Chill Red
and Beauty of Hebron, if they can be
produced in sufficient quantity and with
out too much cost as to fertilizers and
transportation, give some promise in
this direction.
TT in SOuth Florida where fell and win
ter paintings can be made without the
fear OF damaging frosts, and where they
can be matured early in the spring, if
they can be produced in sufficient quanti-
ty and shipped in carload lots, which is
cheaper, it is possible that this section of
the State may have monopoly of the
early market.--FIorida Experimental

A HOME MADE FERTILIZER.

The fertilizers used mainly on the farm
this year were Blood and Bone, Ground
Bone, Pot Ammoniac, Black Cotton Seed
Meal, Paine & Sons Orange Food and
Cane Fertilizer, Acid Phosphate, Cop
peras, and a compost made on the farm.
The formula for compost is: 1000
pounds stable manure and 333 pounds
each of cotton seed meal, kainit and acid
phosphate placed in covered pen, in the
order named, the above constituting one
layer and wet thoroughly this repeated
until pen is full, when the top is covered
with dry dirt and left from two to three
months, when it is ready for use. The
compost is prepared for distribution by
taking out one side of pen and cutting
from the top down and mixing we'll with
hoe, being careful to break all Jumps.
This compost was used on every crop,
except with cane giving very gratifying
results. 1 have modified it's proportions

CORN EXPERIMENTS.

The main idea in the corn experiment
this year was in selecting a plot of land
that would represent as near as possible
the average land of the State. Without
practical knowledge OF the producing
qualities of the plots selected last year,
results proved that the quality of the
land was above the average one plot
bringing nineteen and one-half bushels
per acre and the other thirteen bushels
without fertilizer. The yield last year in
excess of the natural land, as may be
seen in Bulletin Z, under very heavy fer

tilization was too small to warrant the
opinion that excessive and costly fertil-
ization of corn would he profitable. Nor
am prepared from this years expert
ence to venture the opinion that the in
tensive system will become, or ought to
be the rule of the farmersin regard to
this crop. Seasons and climatic causes
largely modify the yield, and these are
so variable in our State as to prevent
any definite average as to annual pro-
duction. 1t has become a settled convic-
ton among farmers that our climate is
not adapted 10 theprofitable production
OF corn as a marketable crop. While the
yield has doubtless had much to do with
this opinion, the true cause may most
likely be attributed to the soil The
following analysis in Bulletin 2, of the
station soil, five inches deep, taken from
a part OF the farm that has been cleared
the longest, and which has been in cuI-
tivation over thirty years, gives an idea
of it's productive forces: Water, O.51
per cents; organic and volatile matter,
1.27; sand, 96.O2; clay, 2.77; oxides of
iron and aluminium, o33; lime, O.O6;
magnesia, O.03; phosphoric acid, O.O7;
potash and soda, O.O9. This land was
originally high hammock, bordering a
large lake. This one in Bulletin 5 is
taken from the virgin soil in low ham
mock, about one hundred yards from the
lake, the same depth: Moisture at 100
degrees, O.59 per cent. organic and vola-
tile matter, 2.50; lime, O.O3 magnesia,
O.O2; phosphoric acid, O.O2; potash and
soda, O.1O; iron and aluminium oxides,
O.13; clay, O.5O: sand, 9G.OO. These
two samples give some idea Of the avail
able land upon the station.
Now, if these are compared with the
analysis OF land planted in corn adjacent
to Missouri Experimental Station, on
which most elaborate and scientific ex-
pertinent last year was made, it will be
seen that the Missouri soil is far better
adapted to the growth OF corn thantha
used by me. 1t is as follows: Analysis,
/, a.: Water at 100 degrees, 1872 per
cent; nitrogen, total, Ola, carbon, to-
tal,) 1.63; loss by ignition, 6,97 silica,
1882; aluminium, 8.93; oxide. of iron,
3.05; lime, 0.63; magnesia, O64; potash,
1872; soda, 1.59; phosphoric acid, O.O8.
The increase does not warrant the use of
fertilizers on this soil In Florida the
question as to whether it is profitable
to plant corn has been settled blythe uni
versal practice of our farmers who plant
the standard crops in trying to make
enough for home demands. 1t would be
a sad day, indeed, if they were to reach
the conclusion that it would be better to
buy their grain instead OF raising it, un-
til the products OF our State in the farms
ing sections change, as they have lone

IRISH POTATO EXPERIMENT.


IRISH POTATO EXPERIMENT.
The object of this experiment was a
test OF various kinds of seed sold in Jack
sonville, in order to find the best adapted
to our soil and climate. Accordingly /
bought seed of every variety offered on
the market the middle of January.
The land was prepared by bedding out
the rows three and one-half feet wide.
Thefertilizer used was the compost as Civ
en- on another page. The amount per
acre was 1900 pounds, Or thirty six
pounds to the row, allowing seventy
yards square to the acre. The
fertilizer was evenly distributed in rows
by hand, and mixed by running straight
shovel or bull tongue in the row.
The seed was cut thin with one and two
eyes and dropped one foot apart in drill
on January 80, and covered with two
burrows by a New South. They were
plowed March 20, and plowed and hoed
April 12
The March freeze cut them back to the
ground, but they soon rallied, making a
good stand. The seasons were very fa-
vorable. The soil was light and sandy,
high and dry, and of medium quality.
The plot selected had been cultivated for
years in vegetables and field crops.
y The potatoes were we'll matured and OF
good size, having but very small per-
certage of culls.
The earliest was the Chilli Red, and next
the. Beauty OF Hebron. The Chill Red be-
gan to mature about April 10th, and
The Beauty OF Hebron the Goth. The
Scotch Magnum was the latest, maturing
about the 18th of May, and the Burbank
a week earlier.
Thefollowinge eight varieties wereplant-
ed: Jackson White, Eastern Fancy
Rose, Chilli Red, The Early Beauty of
Hebron, Peerless, Russetts, Burbank and
Scotch Magnum.
The Scotch Magnum yielded 1O4H
bushels per acre.
The Burbank, 160h bushels.
Peerless, 11Oh bushels.
Russetts, 74%I bushels.
Early Beauty OF Hebron, 1O4 bushels.
Chill Red, 74& bushels.
Eastern Fancy Rose, 50 bushels.
jackson White, 22H bushels.
They were all white except the Scotch
Magnum and Early Beauty of Hebron,
which are pink eyed.
twill be observed that the largest yield
was made by the Burbank.
There was no experiment made in un-'
fertiized land. Experience has demon
strated that Florida soil will lot pro-

have also retained the above formula for
use.
My object is to produce a fertilizer that
is within the reach of every farmer
in the State, if little industry and care
is used, that is cheap, and that will pro-
duce results with those, the cost OF which
are beyond the man of moderate means.
The above formula is made upon the sta
ton at cost OF Sc. .66 for materials, out
side of labor and the stable manure.
Two men can take manure out of stable,
weigh it, and with the other ingredients
pen from eight to eleven tons a day. A
basket or barrel is filed with stable ma
nure and weighed. Alter weighing sever
al barrels an average can be obtained,
when the work may proceed without fur
ther delay. The same course is pursued
with the other materials.
[ selected four rows of orange trees and
used twenty-five pounds OF this compost
on one row, fifteen pounds ground bone
On the second, fifteen pounds OF Paine &
Sons Orange Food on the third, fifteen
pounds of acid phosphate On the fourth.
The acid phosphate alone, while it pro-
duced some results, was not as good as
either of the other three.
The other three produced fine growth
and but little, if any, difference would be
observed between them.
On vegetables, such as cabbage, beets,
onions, beans, lettuce, okra, squashes and
melons, both water and musk, [ used the
compost in comparison with cotton seed
meal, and the results were very much in
favor OF the compost. 1t is noticeable
that in the use of cotton seed meal and
crushed cotton seed no benefit to second
crop is observed, while the above compost
improves the lands. Some advantage is
perceptable the second year with rotted
bone and gossypium, but not to that ex-
tent where the compost is used.
The compost used on peach and pea"
trees is most excellent fertilizer and the
addition of onepound of sulphate ofiron,
which is copperas, is manifest.
Thus far cotton seed meal and the COM
post give the best results for q greater
variety of crops over others used

A WARNING TO OUR BOYS.
II Caught jumping Ga . Rowing Train
They will Be Arrested.

A HALEY boy had . very narrow
escape from being run over BY the
cars yesterday. As the train left the
depot the boy jumped on, to have q
ride. As the end Of tho platform was
reached he jumped of. but .ligh.ed
90 that he was thrown against the
now rapidly moving car. He man.
aged to bound back, however, without
more than merely touching the car
with his shoulders for perhaps half .
second, and thus escaped being
dragged under the car, where he
would either have been instantly
killed, or, what would be worse,
mai,ned for life.
1t is not unusual for boys to jump
on moving trains and get off as de-
tailed above; and it 10 . wonder that
several Of them have not been killed.
Agent LaMunyon, who does not like
the thought of the probability of hav.
ing one or more boys killed around
the station which is in his charge, has
advised the Sheriff, Con.table ard
others to keep lookout for boys who
indulge in the practise referred to,
and it any one Of them Is caught he
will swear to u complaint of malicious
mischief and have the boy punished.
Mr.. LaMunyon did this very re.
luctantly, and only because he feels it
to be his duty to do SO.

THE COMPANY F BALL MUSIC.

1t Should Be Supplied by Local Talent.
There is considerable indlgnatlon
felt by some Of the members Of Com.
psny F because the music for the
forthcoming ball Of the company will
be supplied by Bellevue musicians.
Haley, it is asserted by these
gentlemen, has as skilled musicians as
the State can boast; these musicians
are, many of them, members of the
company; and it is, to say the least
rather uncomplimentary to them to
be thus sighted in favor of players
from abroad.
There is another reason why home
musicians should have been preferred.
All OF US who are settled and en-.
dea~oring to make a home here are
interested in keeping all the money
possible at home. II some of us send
abroad for dance musicians, others
will send away for printing, for dry
goods, for groceries, ETC., until the
town may hardly afford business for
one fs'r-sized store.
1t is, therefore, greatly to be re.
GREETED that our home talent was not
given chance to earn the few dol.
lars that the music will cost.
