A Hint for Island Pond Merchants.
The st. Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN SAYS;
The business men OF ST. Johnsbury
have at last formed an association TO
protect themselves from the abuses OF
the credit system. There are many IN
our town who make u practice OF run
ing a bin ut n store until aske'! to pay
when they politely decline and go else
where to trade, With the express purpose
of defrauding the second man in the
same way rs they did the first. ltthe'e
we're really poor, it might be an act OF
charity to give them the goods. But
they are not. They are poor because
they ure too lazy to work or because oil
extravagnnt habits. These bills, oeing
too small 70 prosecute, the merchants
must lCse. But the merchant must
live. and whaG he loses in bad debts
he must make good out OF paying
customers. Thus honest men pay not
only tn .ir own bills but the bills oil
their shiftles1 neighbors. This organi'
zation proposes to stop this. AT each
meeting members who have been de-
frauded will give the names OF SUCH
persons and such names will form the
"black list" copy of which every
mem Der will hold. la this way each
merchant will be informed with refer
ence TO his customer and save himself
An energetic canvass has been n'&d'
through the week and about 80 OF OUT
business firms have joined the asso

THE TRUTH is ENOUGH.

There is so much good, hard common
sense in an article written by Mr.. b. Sut-
ton, of Chandler Florida, to the Marion
Free Press, that we take pleasure in ex-
tracing from it the following with our
endorsement. Mr.. Sutton says:
Gentlemen Boomers don't exaggerate, it is not
necessary, be honest stick to the truth tell home
seekers that thrift and industry in Florida as
elsewhere has it's reward while the shiftless lazy
man will not succeed in Florida any better than
elsewhere. Don't tell your correspondent in some
dis slant State that few hundred dollars invested
in Florida and left to take care OF ITSELF will bring
him fortune, while he spends his time fishing,
hunting and lollingin the shade. Instead tell him
that he must sweat in Florida as elsewhere, that
an orange grove requires constant care and Guilt
walton, and that a five acre grove will not make
him Vanderbilt or Jay Gould in three or four
years, but will assure him competence II ne
gives it proper encouragement. claim that our
fair State needs none of that kind OF booming
her advantages properly stated are sufficient
with the most glorious climate in the world, her
vast muck and phosphate deposits, sufficient TO
fertilize half dozen States, soil, the poorest OF
which becomes fertile with cultivation capable OF
producing the fruits of the temperate and the
tropical climates. her rivers and lakes teemng
with fish, her coast with oysters, fish, turtles
sponges, etc., her vast forests OF pine, cypress
cedar, oak, hickory and other valuable tlmbers'
her unrivaled facilities for stock raising, and mil
lions of acres of land at prices within the reach OF
all, and above all, a State, which, although, the
harbor of refuge of tens Of thousands OF 1nvallds
annually, and where physicians of other states
send thousands to die, after their cases have be-
come hopeless yet has the lowest death rate OF
any other Staten the Union. Why tits q sacrllege
to use falsehoods to boom such a land. True we
have sandspurs, gnats, mosquitoes and Jiggers'
but it needs only those and man himself to re-
mind us that this is not paradise.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-11-26
VARIATION IN ANALYSES.

Mr.. Norman Robinson, the State
Chemist, of Florida, has an article in
another column of this issue in reference
to the variation in the analyses of fer
tilzers. In a former article on this sub
ject, commenting upon the difference in
analyses of certain brands of fertilizers
furnished by the State Bureau of Fer
tilizers and the Florida Experimental
Station, respectively, we said:
An analysis is not always a sure indi-
cation as to the merits of fertilizer, the
sources from which the constituen ts are
derived, and which cannot be determined
from analysis, have great deal to do
with the value of the article as q plant
food, but where analyses vary so materi-
ally what have we to guide us in our Sc
lection of plant food?
The question remains unanswered.
Both Mr.. Pickell, OF the Experimental
Station and Mr. Robinson, Of the State
could not be laid at their doors, and it is
no more than just to say, that we never
thought that it could, their competency
we have never doubted. Mr.. Robinson
fully explains the cause of variation,
which appears to be beyond remedy.
But the problem still confronts US. How
shall we determine the value Of the plant
food which we purchase?
One analysis for instance says,a certain
brand of fertilizer contains Sc per cent.
OF potash and another says it contains
800 per cent. How are we t" know
which is correct?

SUPER-PHOSPHATES.

Bones are a scarce article in Florida.
Unfortunately, still in some sections OF
the State it is possible to collect quite q
"pile' OF them during the year, and for
the benefit of those SO fortunately stu
ated weextract the following method for
preparing super-phosphates at home from
a Maryland experiment station bulletin ::
Crush the bones as thoroughly as posi-
BILE and provide q barrel Of fresh burned
lime and three barrels of strong, I'M
leached hardwood ashes, for every barrel
ing hearth, tight floor, or level layer
of loamy soil about six inches thick. Up
on this spread barrel of ashes, in a sim
liar layer. Then, in a thinner layer, hall
barrel of bone; scatter through the bone
to fill the spaces, and spread upon it half
a barrel of lime, ulverized but not slaked.
On this spread a second barrel OF ashes.
Wet this pile gradually with q sprinkler,
using about ten gallons of water, Or
enough to moisten ali but have none run
out. Add, in like manner,,a half barrel of
bone. half barrel OF lime, barrel of
ashes, and ten gallons more of water.
Over all tier about one bushel of land
plaster, and cover the entire pile with dry
loan. Examine the pile once a week and
add water, ii needed, to keep all moist,
but not Wet Infour or five weeks shovel
over and thoroughly mix, moisten and
pile again, cover with soil and little
more plaster, and leave two Or three
weeks longer. II pieces of bone then re-
main undecomposed, sift them out to use
in next compost, or add more quick lime
and ashes and give further time.

was small. In three years she has increased her

We repeat, that this speaks volumes for the
honey industry of our State
