Raises his own Fodder.

Mr.. Dudley W. Adams writes us as fol-
lows from Tangerine:
The frost touched very gently here; it
cut Irish potatoes and squash considera-
bly,. My little tomato patch escaped.
Yes grow all my own fodder, and have
never seen the floor of my hay loft since
[ first filled it. Oats, corn and cow peas
are my main reliance, with crab grass as
a denier resort. The latter when nicely
cured is much liked by mules, and fur
nishes them with "harmiess amusement"
and 50 far as | can observe very littenu-
triton.
Oats sown in November, corn planted
in spring, cow peas planted in June are
fodder and grain too, and entirely elimi-
nate my fodder bill and reduce my
grain bill. Mules need no grain when
ted on peas or sheaf.Oats except when my
flock of one hundred hens take too lib
eral toll. [ don't mind it if they do steal

Tomato Plants.

1t is fact, proven beyond all doubt,
that to obtain the best results. all toma-
to plants should be, at least, once trans
planted before being permanently plant
ed in the field where they are to grow.
We would be glad if all out readers, who
grow tomatoes for either the family or
canning factory, would give this matter
their attention this season and try it for
themselves. The idea of setting tomato
plants from the seed bed when the COM
pensation depends entirely on the num-
Der Of tons Or bushels produced isentirely
played out among thoroughly practical
horticulturists. If plants can be bought
from the seed bed for $1 for 1000, it is
far cheaper to pay $3 for plants trans
planted to a rich bed four to five weeks
previous. And cheaper still to pay 81 to
SIS for plants that have been transplant
ed to two inch to three inch pots
OF course many OF our readers will call
This theory many of whom will never try
it and will therefore never learn any bet
ter. We do not deal in theories nor very
much in the sciences; but practical COM
mon sense, experience and observation
This is not only so with the tomato
plants but many Others, especially cab
bage and celery. If celery plants are
worth 50 per 900 from the he'd, those
transplanted from thes bed six weeks
before are worth 81 to IS per 900. The
time is close at hand when no intelligent
man will allow himself to be caught set
ting out tomato plants from the seed bed.

Medicine in Vegetables.

The following information may be use
full to some at this season of the year, if
not new to many: Spinach has direct
effect upon the kidneys. A common dan
delion used as green's is excellent for the
same trouble. Asparagus purges the
blood. Celery acts admirably upon the
nervous system and is azure for rheuma-
tism and neuralgia. Tomatoes act upon
the liver. Beets and turnips are excellent
appetizers. Lettuce and cucumbers are
cooling in their effects upon the system.
Onions, garlic, leeks, olive and shalots,
all of which are similar, possess medicinal
virtues of a marked character, stimula-
ting the circulatory system and the con-
sequent increase Of the saliva and the
gastric juice, promoting digestion. Red

Notes from Lake Brantley.

Editor Florida AgriculturiSt
A week ago last Sunday the blizzard
lit down on us like a jay bird on June
bug. We could writhe, twist and squirm
as we pleased but it had us in it's icy grip,
and it held us for three days, and when
it left your correspondence had 'la grippe"
with which he has been fighting, blowing
and snorting ever since; sometimes feel
ing as if his head had left his shoulders
The blizzard left signs OF it's grip Iupon q
great number OF our young budded trees.
They were full of sap and growing, and
where the sun struck them the bark split
on the bodies Most Of the leaves on
these trees will come off. This accident
to young trees has thrown quite a dam
per on some of our young settlers. They
think their young groves are ruined.
The splitting of the bark does not neces-
sarily kill the tree; it will leave a sore
that will heal up in time. If the bark is
loose all around and the inner bark also
killed. the grower must decide whether it
will be best for him t grow new tree
from the old roots or pull it up and set
new one in. A sprout from the roots
will grow very fast. A protection of pa
per around the body would have saved
them, but who would have thought it
necessary to protect trees when there had
not been single cold day all winter.
1t is scarcely necessary to add that
older trees do not in the least show any
effect from the cold, and there are dis
tricts where the younger trees are not
touched. On the south end of Lake
Brantley near the depot, on elevated land,
the cold is scarcely perceptibe.
We have been trying to reach a concu-
sion on the question, whether groves that
had been worked and fertilized suffered
any more than those not worked, and
have after investigation about decided
that we can see no difference.
OF one thing we are certain, that the
drouth has been blessing; if there had
been sufficient quantity of moisture,
the bearing trees would have been
blooming and consequently nearly all
the bloom would have been killed. If
we had had in q water plant, we
should certainly have watered freely and
thereby brought about destruction of
the crop.
On the question OF irrigation for or
ange groves. we are yet ION the fence"
In the fifteen years that we have been
here, we have seen only two or three sea-
sons that irrigation would have been
necessary for orange trees.
The gardens are q thing Of the past.
Our Mcneil peas are gone. We saved
tomatoes and potatoes by laying them
down and covering with dry sand. They
were pulled out, slightly disfgured but
still in the ring. Water melons were
saved in the old-fashioned way OF cover
ing with pine bark. S. P. SHEPHERD.

Phosphate for Grapes.

Prof. Caldwell, in speaking of the effect
of fertilizers cited an instance where
wines Of Il particularly rich bouquet were
made from grapes in district whose
soil was particularly rich in phosphate
A long treatment of phosphate fertilizers
was given by an experimenter to certain
other lands where this element was less
abundant and after thirty years the pc
culiar bouquet appeared also in the wine
produced in the latter district

Grating Simplifed.

In response to Il request Tor lnfOrma-
tion about grating, Mr.. S. Miller, in the
Southern Horticultural Journal, saws
that in the latitude of that portion OF
Texas from which he writes land which
is about the same as ours) it can be done
now at any time. Whether the tree be
large or small the same process will an
swer. only if it is on large trees it is not
advisable to graft on limbs over one inch
in diameter. A fine toothed saw, we'll set
and sharp, strong bladed knife, little
mallet, a well tapered little wedge and
another small bladed knife that will carry
a sharp edge. Saw the tree or limb off
square, then with the large knife smooth
the stub, taking care that the bark is
not bruised. Place the knife in the mid
die of the limb and with the mallet drive
it down until the split is an inch or more,
according to the thickness of the stick,
drive your little wedge in the middle I'M
til opened sufficiently to receive thegraft.
The graft should be about three inches
long and shaved wedge shaped with a
taper OF about an inch leaving one side a
little thicker than the other. Insert this
wedge and press it into the side OF the
cleft firmly with thumb and finger, of
course with the thickest part of the wedge
on the outside, and so that theinside line
OF the bark of the graft and that of the
stock be on an exact line. Take out the
wedge and cement the graft (Which should
be put in twO-thirds OF the wedge part)
also the split on both sides and on top,
or in other words, cover all the bare wood
to keep out the air and rain.
The cement [ have used forty years is
used by me still, and is made as follows:
One pound rOsin, OnC-quarter bees
wax and onc-quarter pound beef tallow
melt all together over q fire and when
liquid pour into water not too cold :;
grease the hands and work it like shoe
makers wax or taffy until all the water
is out and it becomes a nice yellow color;
roll i'll balls Of a half pound each and lay
in a cool place. When needed for graft
ing have little iron kettle and melt your
cement in it over a slow fire. Apply with
q thin paddle sloped off at the end, or a
small paint brush will answer if care is
taken that the cement never gets so hot
as to scorch, as this cement will get hot
enough to SINCE feather.
In operating upon large trees there
should never be more than one-half OF the
top worked upon at one time, as the bal
ance is needed to carry off part of the
force of the tree, to prevent the graft from
growing too fast and make them liable
to be blown off by high wind.
When the graft commences growing,
the sprouts around the graft must be
kept rubbed Off
When grating is done on small trees
under ground the cement is really not
necessary; only fill in with earth and
press firmly with care that the graft may
not be put out OF place.
When grating small trees on limbs I
make the split with a knife without the
mallet, and stick the point of the blade
in the split to hold it open until the graft
is inserted.

follows:
The death of such a man as he is
a loss to any country. It is par
ticular loss at this time. The weight
of his voice and OF his character on
the side Of silver would have been a
controlling force just at this present
time, if he could have been spared.
