A New Method Of Treating Disease.
HOSPITAL REMEDIES.

What are they? There is new de-
parture in the treatment OF disease. 1t
consists in the collection of the specifics
used by noted specialists of Europe and
America, and bringing them within tie
reach of all. For instance the treatment
pursued by special physicians who treat
Indigestion, stomach and liver troubles
only, was obtained and prepared. The
treatment ofother physicians, celebrated
for curing catarrh was procured, and SO
on till these incompatible cures now in
clude disease of the lungs, kidneys, female
weakness, rheumatism and nervous Gebil-
ity.
This new method of zone remedy for
one disease" must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the i'll effects, and thorough
ly realize the absurnity of the claims of
Patent Medicines which are guaranteed
to cure every i'll out of a single bottle,
and the use of which, as staff Tics prove,
has ruined more stomachs than alcohol.
A circular describing these new remedies
is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company
Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re-
liable agents wanted.

that there is something that should go
back. 1t is a daily miracle to me that
nature continues to produce this 1000
pounds without something being given
back to it,
Mr.. MANN (of Glenwood) These ques-
tiOls that the gentleman asked would
seem ton to be very practical questions.
They are simple questions. We hope by
coming here 10 get the advantages
Of the successes and failures of
those who have been here in
advance Of us. Our object is to do that
Now we have no right to ask for this in
formation, but we are selfish enough to
take it when we can get it, | would like
to have these questions answered right
at the point and as quickly and shortly
as possible.
Mr. BREEsE.-I don't ask for rules
[ ask for experience. Give me the
facts. What methods have you used
in different sections of the State?
In answer to the question about
pruning trees, what shape shall the trees
take, and what has been your method?
Do you let the tree grow as wild tree
from the bottom, or do you trim it into
the form of an apple tree One man says
that If [ train tree up and make head
on it the sun will blister the bark, and
the tree become diseased. Another says
he let's it grow up and spread out How
shall we shape our Seeding trees?
Mr.. BACON My idea is to prune
Make the crown say about three
feet from the ground. Then let it
spread low and then plune il. Help it.
1t needs guiding. 1t needs assistance. I
believe we can improve upon nature. We
can guide nature and my idea is to prune
low. Let the fruit be on the outside as
much as possible, but my idea is to keep
it pruned out
Mr. PHELPs.-My habit has been from
the first place to have low trees. On my
place you will not find single tree that
is not shaded by the limbs. The water
sprouts are kept off. The trees are left
open SO that the sun can get in. [ be-

|, for one, would not attempt to give any
man any rules by which he could make a
success in horticulture. If life is worth
anything it is the experience that man
gains by going into business. If any man
complains that he is on bad soil in
the State Of Florida he has got no one to
whom he is responsible but himself. He
may take advice as much as he chooses,
but he must be responsible to himself as
to how much of that he makes an object
for himself. | suppose there are no paris
OF the United S. es in which there is not

little locality in which | live, any rules
as TO pruning, trimming etc. l be-
lieve in pruning vigorously. believe
thai in Florida, to-day, if a man will go
to work he can do as well here as any,
where else, but as to giving general rules
by which he could succeed [ cannot do it.
Mr.. BACoN.-Before [ forget it | would
like to put myself on record AZ one out OF
the hundreds who came TO Florida, that
did not come for my health. / came 10
Florida because | wanted to and not be-
cause I was obliged to. During the war
when was here took a liking TO the
S:a'e. I fell in love with the climate and
found that there were 375 days in the
year here, provided anyone got up an
hour before sunrise every morning. l
made up my mind that twas Gods coun-
try. came here because there was room
and because [ liked it, | cut my timber
and my brush and piled them in the cen
ter. Between every second and third row
of orange trees were these piles OF rot

grovea also. AT err nyears it all rotted in

that [ did not leta spear Ofgrass grow.
In one spot there were some oyster shells
and hardpan and the trees there began
to die back After ten years | began to

denly occurred TO me that | had been
fighting nature. All around the Dor
ders of my grove the trees on the wild

can live without insects.
Mr.. PHBLPs.-I have found them where
they have been living on sweet potatoes,
and think they destroy more vegetables
than insects. They take off the roots of
the vines SO as to get them out of their
way. have never found orange roots
in them, but should consider that they
injure trees in cutting the roots off as
they move around.
Mr.. PAINTER.-My observation of the
mole has been that he generally shoves
his way through the ground instead of
cutting and digging. have frequently
followed up mole and have never found
vegetable injured or eaten. The sala-
mander does the most damage.
Mr.. MEAD am sorry to say that |
have never looked as far as the center of
the mole to find what he has eaten. [
would suppose that the mole would eat
insects only, as it belonged to the order
Insectivora, but, as | have been thor
oughly convinced to the contrary this
l.
they will destroy trees and plants also.
Mr. BREEsE.-I am here to learn and
am anxious to learn, and [ have few
questions in regard to orange growing
that | wish to ask, and [ hope that Mr..
Phelps and others will not be bashful
about answering.
First. The question of pruning trees.
What shape the young trees should be;
what shall we do with the frozen ends of
the limbs, and the tops OF the trees as we
find them nipped? They are there andwe
would like to know whether it is best to
take them off, or leave them on until they
drop off?
Second What shall we do with the
water sprouts? [ have been told by
some orange growers to leave them
there, and others have told me to have
them cut off always, and that rapidly
growing water sprouts should never be
allowed to remain on the tree.
Third. The moss that | find on the
bodies of the trees. | have some fine trees
with moss on, and they have produced
fully. They bear very well, yet have
shrunken down near the ground and are
covered with this green-yellowish moss.
1t is increasing on the trees. would like
to have some information as to whether
it is necessary to take that off?
Fourth. Whether it is clean culture or
not that we want? have seen some fine
groves where clean culture has never been
practiced, but where pine straw and wire
grass have been kept on the grove. Then
there is another man who sayshe is using
Bermuda grass around his trees, and
some are fighting Bermuda grass. One
man told me that he would give ST. 900
to the man who would insure the destruc-
ton of the Bermuda grass in his grove.
Fifth. Another point, as to the selec
ton of the land. We find many groves
that have been put on bad land. At Wal
do man has recently had an acre of his
grove pulled up, because it was on bad
land, while the balance is doing nicely.
How can we avoid such costly expert
ments? | am not at all certain what
hardpan is and [ have been here three
years.

After a Meteor it Rained Cinders.

\ recent dispatch from Glencoe,
Illinois, says: Last night, few
seconds after 10 o'clock, bright light
was seen and loud report was
heard that brought everybody out OF
doors in alarm. Nothing was to be
seen when they got out of an unusal
character, except what was at first
mistaken for faint red haze, not I'M
like that OF Indian summer, which
gradually died away, or rather lost
its luminous aspect, growing gray
like thick fog. Those, however,
the report say that an enormous
meteor which had suddenly appeared,
coming from the northeast at a great
distance east of the town. No frag-
mentS fell, however, and up TO date
nothing has been heard of any, so it
is probable that the force of the ex-
plosion was sufficient to throw the
larger fragments TO a point where the
attraction of the earth is too feeble TO
cause them to fall on it. or else they
fell into the lake. During the re-
mainder of the night. though, the
moon and stars were family obscured
by fine rain of ashes and minute
cinders, which was still falling dur
ing the early part of the forenoon;
but gradually sifted away to light
dust which has covered everything
with its gray powder News has just
been brought that the Fanny Bar
low, small schooner lying off the
lake coast, was set on fire last night,
shortly after 10, by red-hot cinders
falling from the heavens, and was
only with difficulty kept from burn
ing

FIGHT IT OUT.

There seems to be an impression
that the Democrats i'm the Senate
have a better chance of blocking par
tisan legislation than the minority in
the House have. The new rules of
Speaker Reed utterly do away with
the rights of the minority, and though
the Democrats are not altogether de-
prived of hearing, when it comes to
voting and the actual accomplishment
of purpose they have no show what
ever. In the Senate it is somewhat
different. The Republican Senators
are no less bitter partisans than their
brethren Of the House, nor are they
any more scrupulous. But they are
hedged in by more closely drawn
rules and customs, and vigorous
and determined minority has a better
opportunity for successful opposition.
The Democratic Senators ought to
fight to the bitter end the partisan
measures that the Republicans are
trying to pass for the sole purpose
of continuing themselves in power.
We do not believe in filibustering or
obstructive tactics on non-partisan
measures, even though.the differences
of opinion may be great. But when
it comes to the numerous party jobs
that are forced through Congress, the
very strongest sort of opposition
should be made. Senator Sherman
once publicly said that anything
that will beat down the Democratic
party and build up the Republican is
justifable in morals and in law"
There is no reason why the remark
should not be made to apply the
other way. Surely any means that
will defeat partisan legislation for
Senator Sherman's party are justifi-
able, and we want to see the Demo
cratic Senators warning to the knife
on that principle.
Let them fight it out on that line if
it takes all summer.
