Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks
an epoch in the life of the individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in
my memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is CRATE
fully blessed. Hence it is that so much.
is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So
many feel they owe their restoration to-
health to the use of the Great Altera-
tive and Tonic. If you are troubled with
any disease of Kidneys, Liver or Stom
ach, of long or short standing you will
surely find relief by the use of r ectric Bit
ters. Sold at so cents and ST per bottle
at any drug store.

For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Planting Palmettoes.

After taking charge of thegreat Tampa
Bay Hotel grounds my first suggestion
was to plant cabbage palms along the
river front, as it would hide some I'M
slightly ground beyond, and could they be
made to grow their leaves would in part
take up the offensive odOrs that arise
from all tide-Water streams, and the last
ing beauty those great tall trees will give
to those extensive grounds which are to
be well in keeping with that Moorish cas-
tie that will, when completed, be the
finest on earth of any building for the
purpose of a hotel.
/ had never planted one before, but |
saw no reason whyit should not be done,
and did it-275 of them, that are from
ten to fifty-fve feet in height, boots CT
without boots, and this coming week
thirty more to go in, none of which are
to be less than fifty feet in height.
[ shall never forget how kind every
body seemed to me in assisting, in telling
me how. I think some four hundred and
fifty different people told me how to do
it, as also how not to do it, and with all
that array of help | thought must sue
coed. All palms are dubious plants, and
| planted them as [ would any other
palm, removing the roots and giving the
new shoots as they would start out from
the bud plenty of room, for if the old
roots were left on they would injure the
new roots by the poisonous acids that
would come from decay. In the entire lot
there are not over two or three which are
not growing. The season is now too
late, as the planting is best done at the
beginning of the rainy reason.
AS you say, Mr.. Editor, many of our
orange culturists will differ widely with
many of the views of Mr.. Chamberlain"
and let me tell you there is very much
more in it than "the knack of expressing
his views in most interesting and orig
inal MANNER" and when he mentioned
cutting back the top to correspond with
the roots at the planting and suggested
burying the shears with the roots he
made good point, for know that iron
is good for tree when applied at the
right end of it. JAMES MORT.

no better show in that line than myself.
They could all tell me how to do it but

lance on traditions, but to follow my

for me, and my neighbor need not use it
unless he wishes.
= | have charge of young grove in
last season about twO-thirds of the crop
going this way. Since coming into my
charge that grove has had the smallest
amount of ammonia which | could pos
sibly give it, but plenty of potash and
raw bone. This season there has not
been two dozen split oranges in that
grove and it has made asplendid growth
besides. Ny own grove gets no COM
mercial fertilizer Stable manure and
muck (almost valueless according to the
undOubted authority of some of those
old and experienced settlers) is plenty

as good and, in some cases, better crops
than can be grown with commercial fer
tilizer. The low valuation placed upon
it by chemists makes the cost of pro-
duction less. So | have more for the
