Planting Orange Trees.


Planting Orange Trees.
Some weeks since the AGRICULTURIsT
contained an article on Planting Orange
Trees, recommending very strongly the
plan of setting in diamonds, or as it is
vulgarly called "quintoX." One great
point was, that there could be more
trees planted on a given piece of land,
than if in squares. The usual method,
as if the great point the planter wished
to arrive at when starting an orange
grove, was to stick in all the trees he
could.
The writer failed to mention the ad-
vantages if the grove is to be large
enough to see a cultivator or pillow,
that there was in his method two rows
of trees to cultivate, instead of one row
as is the case where trees are in squares
and am inclined to the belief, that he
has not had very much experience in
blowing fruit trees of any kind with his
own hands.
AS to getting more trees in the land,
enough is enough" in anything, and
right we'll does it come in here. When [
see orange trees planted closer than
twenty-five feet in squares, it is an eye
soretO me. One of our largest and most
successful orange grove men in Orange
county, remarked to me once, he "would
rather have trees planted over thirty
feet than UNDER" and of the many or
ange groves [ visit, from one end of our
State to the other, [ cannot but agree
with the over, than under the thirty feet
plan. [ Just happened to think OF this
diamond plan of planting orange trees
so mentioned, while was preparing the
beds for our roses here at the Tampa
Bay Hotel grounds.
We are planting in "moss," four beds
that are twelve feet wide, by seventy feet
long. Our plan is beds diamond shape
twenty-five plants to the bed, with six
plants in the corners and each side; set
plants two feet apart; which brings them
in rows one foot apart, each bed has it's
separate variety, with the corners of diff
ferent colors, and when they come to
perfection, I think they will be pretty;
but for the life OF me, would not plant
an orange grove in that way, for If the
trees all got the same treatment they
would all be the same color.

Christmas eve, and no CLEAN of Joy in it
in the Stanwood household.
Mr.. Stanwood and his golden haired A.
year-old boy Teddy were seated before an
open fire in the library.
The fathers face bore lines of care and
anxiety. The childs prattle was hushed
by the saddened appearance of the father.
Mr.. Stanwood was thinking back over
the five happy years OF his married life !;
how he had on that evening i've years be-
fore welded true, loving wife; how one
year later little Teddy had come as a gift
of Christmas eve. The five years of happi-
ness seemed now blot, for, lying upstairs,
stricken by strange illness, his wife was
at the point of death, and all that he could
do was to sit, powerless, awaiting the final
summons.
Teddy was anxiously looking for the ap-
pearance of Santa Claus, and had piled his
father with numberless questions about his
arrival but finally became quoted by his
fathers sad answers.
Outside the house it was typical Bos-
ton Christmas eve. The snow was falling
tossed hither and thither by the wind.
The little park, about which the houses of
Brompton square clustered, was a soft
sheet of white, and the street lamps shone
on street and sidewalks covered with a
tieecy mantle of snow.
From nearly every house in the square
bright lights shone out, and sounds of
happy laughter, mingled with music, were
heard.
Evidently Brompton square was enjoy
ing its Christmas eve festival to the fullest
extent. AT least SO il struck very happy
looking man as he turned the corner into
the square.
Bless me" he said, ''this looks like an
old-time Christmas eve; but guess could
get along with little less snow and cold. ~
He chuckled to himself over this SALLY.
pulled the COLLAR of his heavy oyercoat
clear up about his ears. and struggled on.
against the wind and snow, up the street.
Just about the time the gentleman
turned into the square little Teddy had
again renewed his questions about Santa
Claus.
when will Santa Claus come, papa pr
he asked.
'In little while, my son. replied Mr..
Stanwood.
And will he bring me a sled. and
mamma present, and you one?" he
asked.
Perhaps, my boy But I'm afraid he
cannot bring mamma nor me any present
this time, Teddy" answered Mr.. Stan
wood, tears gathering in his eyes as he
spoke.
Why, papa?" asked Teddy.
Because, my son, mamma is very, very
sick. and the only present Santa Claus can
give rs would be to make her well again, :"
replied the father.
Teddy was silent. He looked away into
the depths of the IRE in deep thought

clock on the mantel rung out that he
looked mp.

the library door, and then he toddled off
towards the stairway

THE DAWN OF CHRISTMAS DAY.

The winds are dead, and ahl how stills
The stars are large; silver blade
Yon homeward sailing moon has made
Upon the sombrc, wooded hill.
The towering fir trees breathe a prayer,
And To- each white star hides away
Behind fallen robe of gray,
And bird notes thrill the morning air.
An OVERLOOKING cup of wine
Is slowly lifting in the east
Awake, oh. man, to beauty's feast,
The glory OF the sky is thine.
And now from peaks that flash and CLEAN
The gorgeous light of dawn is hurled
Across the rugged western world,
Aud drcanches hill and vale and stream.
Oh, hallowed day when Christ was born,
Bring sweetest peace to every one;
From land of snow to land OF sun
Let love prevail on Christmas morn

ing patronage out of the hands of the Re-
publican party.
However, those who are mooting this
sort of political revenge are not meeting
with much encouragement, even at the
hands of the Democrats. There is press
ing demand for city bonds, and the people
seem only too anxious to correct the en-
barrassing blunder which resulted in the
bonds being refused.

sCR1MMAGE OVER RAILS.
a Lively Time Removing Wichita & Valley
Center Traek-The Reports AbOnt In
tentions Of the New Electric
Railway Company.

Sunday last witnessed considerable en-
| terprise ON the part of the Wichita Electric
railway company. About o'clock Sunday
morning the Burton car works people who
had been sleeping quietly were aroused
with quite racket along the track of the
Valley Center Motor line. Itwas soon dis
covered that force of men were removing
rails. By daylight 100 men and thirty
teams in charge of Superintendent Fitch
were at work. They worked all day Sun
day, Sunday night and yesterday until in
the evening, when nearly all the track
north of Thirteenth street had been taken
up the rails in possession of the company,
piled up at the barn on Water and Tenth
streets.
There was considerable interest shown
by many people TO learn what all the rush
was about. 1t may be remembered that
some days ago Mr. Henry Keefer, of Kan
sas City, who handles railroad supplies
made a night raid on the road and he was
stopped by an injunction from the new
electric railway company. The latter
claimed to have purchased the rails from
Major Powell, who owned it, while Keefer
also claimed to have purchased the road
from Powell The injunction brought
against Keefer was given a hearing
and restraipg order continued. The rail
way company wanted to get possession of
the rails to use soon in making ex-
tensions and were afraid Keefer would
serve an injunction on them. which would
have resulted in neither party getting use
of rails for year or two. On the theory
they could get most of the track up in a
day and night they selected Sunday for the
job. They could have been enjoined at
midnight Sunday night but nothing of the
kind put in an appearance and they were
left undisturbed.
Some how the report has been circulated
that the Paramount electric line would un-
der the new arrangement be cut off and
very soon no service to that part of the
city. The matter had created stir among
the residents of Paramount and property
owners. In order to put all concerned in
possession of the facts, Mr. J. o.
Davidson, president of the new COM
pany in answer TO a question
yesterday said there was no truth in the
report. The Fairmount line would be OPP
Grated and the service greatly improved
just as soon as the new system was COM
pleted or partially finished He said no
part of the city need be afraid about being
left on travel facilities, for the new system
would most assuredly give better facilities
to every part of the city than are enjoyed
at present.
The Thompson-Houston electrician Mr..
r. Bailey, from Chicago, did not arrive as
had been expected, and letter was re-
ceived by Mr. Fitch stating that he had
been detained very Unexpectedly and
would certainly arrive some time this
week The order has been placed for some
of the poles and other material to be used
in constructing the line
