Now that | am on the lawcOurtS |
shall relate little incident. Last Friday
there was case Of assault and battery
before Justice Slater. An assault had
been made by young man on an elder
one. The defending lawyer pleaded elo-
ouentIy for the accused, setting forth
finally the poverty of his client, and what
the loss of this case meant to the poor
man. The District Attorney pleaded
learnedlv for the complainant, setting
forth the outrage and pointing to the age
and hoary head Of his client. The old
man won After the court had passed
sentence on the accused, the old gent took
a hand in. and ON tottering limbs. with
trembling words asked that mercy be
shown the prisoner, as he was poor. The
lawyer whispered to me, III be

the court room remarked that if the old

a reasonable charge for packing, l. e.
enough to cover material wages and
salary for the foreman, etc. (Which should
be lien On the fruit as freight and COM
missiOn) and advise him when and where
to ship and in what quantities. Ibelieve
with such a system of packing houses
the crop could be handled to the best
advantage. This is the system pursued
by men who have been years in the busi-
ness buying fruit, and it has stood the
test of time. These men haul their fruit
long distances and put them up at less
expense, and in as good, if not BETTER
shape than most growers. With such a
system, properly supported by the grow
ers, every box of oranges shipped the Ex-
change would be sold at their auction in
Jacksonville, and paid for before it left
the State. The men who this year have
bought on the trees and had to scurry
around getting pickers, packers, etc.,
would buy in Jacksonville, because they
could there buy the grades that they
require, and be sure that the goods were
as represented, while they would be bound
by no hard and fast contract to ship the
fruit bought by certain date And do
not let us forget this the market would
be kept up, the demand regulating the
supply. +.

Tree Foundations.

Tree Foundations.
When one determines to build house
a proper foundation is it's firstconsidera-
tion, as it's future stability depends on the
material employed in it's reconstruction. If
an insufficient foundation should be used
the public would conclude that the owner
was demented or only desired to make q
foolish experiment. However, the ex-
perimental period of putting an insecure
or temporary foundation Under build
ing has long since passed into merited
oblivion, and it ought to be so with in
sufficient tree foundations.
1t is just as essential that the founda-
tion upon which trees are to be built
should be as carefully prepared as those
stately edifces. Simply preparing the
land for planting trees and setting them
in narrow, contracted and shallow holes,
and then let them shift for themselves or
die in the struggling attempt, as thou
sands do, is the most absurd principle
ever permitted to be engrafttd upon the
universal banner of the horticulturist
The application of fertilizers to the
surface will keep trees alive and growing,
but if they had suitable foundation put
in before planting, it would have solved
the problem and a successful issue would
have been the result.
Tree planters often boast that they dig
the holes and set out fabulous numbers
of trees with the aid of one small boy to
"tote" the trees tc the setter. "What is
worth doing at all, is worth doing well"
applies more forcibly to tree setting than
to any other calling that has so much to
do with the future.
What is the proper method for putting
a foundation under trees? Dig holes not
less than two feet deep, and four to six
feet in diameter. Put at least one foot
in depth in the bottom of the hole, (more
is better) muck composted with lime,
salt, potash, (or hard wood ashes,)
ground bone, COW "chips," stable ma
nure, or a combination of any other good
fertilizers, mixed with an equal amour of
best top soil, then fill up the hole with
soil and set your tree shallower than it
grew in nursery or wait until the ground
settles well before setting. Afterward,
when fertilizing, dig circular trench
at the outer spread of roots, twelve to
eighteen inches deep and spades width,
and fill half full with the same mixed
muck and fertilizers. This will prevent
the certain evaporation of the volatile
alkali generated from the compounded
fertilizer and cause the feeding roots to
keep below all possible contact with the
plow or cultivator, and thus prevent
damage to trees or fruit from drouth,
because the roots will be out of reach of
ither drying sun or wind. Those who

Spanish Peanuts and Rice for Stock
and Poultry.

Editor Florida Agricu1turiSt:
hope the articles on Spanish peanuts
and rice will prompt many to plant, for [
am thoroughly convinced of the great
usefulness of these crops from my expert
ence with them. My horse likes peanut
hay better than good crab grass (and,
by the way, have a good lot of seed to
spare, and can send you some if you want
them) And as to the rice, never knew
horses to do better than when their diet
was composed largely of rice, and don't
see why it would not be agood scheme to
plant an acre for the horse and give him
a quart Oftener than once a week. Ny
belief is that a quart, or several quarts,
a day would be highly appreciated. 1t
might seem extravagant to feed rice to
horses, but it would cost no more than
Northern oats. So, too, it seems eXtrava-
giant for the Western farmer to burn corn
in his stove, but corn may be, and often
is, his cheapest fuel D. r. PMsBRY.

desire to cont nue. the "harmless amuse-
ment" of surface fertilizing can keep up
the habit at the consequent cost of waste

plan of making substantial foundation
for their trees and circular trenching for
subsequent fertilization lar more effec-
tive and profitable.
Another great aid in making a grove
would be to dig bitches two feet deep and
one foot wide, equi-distant between the
rows of trees fill half full of oak wood
and cover up to a level. The bitches
should run in the direction of natural
drainage, which would tend to prevent
an accumulation of water on the grove
in a wet season, and also supply an
almost exhaustless supply OF first-class
fertilizer when the wood decays.
Improvement in details will suggest
themselves tc anyone who may adopt
this general plan for setting out orange
groves or other trees and plants.

Another Plan for the Fruit Exchange.

MAKING ADVANCES on ORANGES ON THE
TREE-ERECTING AND OPERATING PACK
ING HOUSES, ETC.
In your issue of the 1st inst. there is
an article by Mr.. S. P. Shepherd, OF Lake
Brantley, the gist OF which is well summed
up in your head lines: "Selling Or
anges on the Tree Antagonzes the Ex-
change
Mr.. Shepherd says: 81 can't see why
the indiscrimnate buying and selling of
fruit does not operate materially against
the Fruit Exchange. For
the Exchange to make a success, the
fruit growers should ship it practically
all their fruit"
Granted; but recognizing the evil, let
us seek the cause, and we may then be
able to supply the remedy.
Now, it is a lamentable but admitted
fact that number Of we orange grow
ers, at the time when our fruit begins to
ripen, are in need-very often in urgent
need-of money. We are entirely depen-
dent Oh our crop, and few OF us can af-
ford to refuse such an offer as a dollar
per box on the trees, which is acertainty,
and comes at a time when we are in eX-
tremities. We cannot wait; we must
have money, ready money. True, we
admit the fruit is not fit to ship and we
know the market will be broken by such
stuff; but we can go to no bank and OBJ
tain an advance against the crop, and
so we accept the certainty and wish the
buyer we'll out of it.
There is the difficulty which we must
overcome before we can hope to place
the control of the crop in any one body.
Where can we obtain an advance? The
bank will make none, the merchants have
carried us through the dull summer and
want their money Can the Exchange
make an advance? Supposing we all
become shareholders, as we should, would
the Exchange be then in a position to
make advances to those needing them,
taking q lien on the crop at a reasonable
rate, with the stipulation that the fruit
should be subject to the order of the Ex-
change as to time of shipment? If so,
think the crowding of fruit in market in
an unripe state, and when it is not want
ed, could be avoided.
Another step in controlling the ship
ments would be the erection in suitable
places of packing houses, where fruit
going to the Exchange could be packed
and shipped. A fair sized packing house,
placed near the railroad, if possibleat the
junction of two lines, and of course where
there is a telegraph operator, would
serve in most sections. Then select the
most competent man in the neighbor-

How to Make Living in Florida.
A correspondent of the Barlow Inform
ant says:
In 1884 the writer visited belt of
country in Southern Georgia, where a
number of fourishing towns we're fast
building up on the watermelon trade.
Remarking to one melon grower, ''You
seem to raise lots of melons, ''Yes,'' he
replied, cit is all we can raise, and so we
push the melons" The people of this
sunny peninsula State might we'll catch
some of the inspiration of the Georgia
melon growers, who one year shipped
over l, ZOO carloads of melons over one
railroad.
Not that should suggest watermelons
above some other products, but when YOU
find out what you cannot grow to profit,
then make more practical discovery and
find out what you can grow that will pay
you to push.
Give some attention to forage. One
Polk county farmer spent years in trying
to kill out Bermuda grass on his place,
and not succeeding he next turned to it's
cultivation and awoke to the realization,
to use his own words, that Bermuda
grass is the best thing l have on my
farm m'-his fat cattle being but proof of
his wise saying.
Let farmers study and observe and each
determine to discover some element of
success not previously brought out in
their calling.
The fact is Florida has such diversity
OF soils, and each location some advan-
tage that will make up for other disad-
vantages-that we all have an excellent
opportunity to do something original
Clearwater wants to be incorporated.

cHIcloo, Dec. .9.-About 1889 to-
day, three men drove up 10 the door of
the Merchants Exchange Bank, Of
Chicago, in an open buggy drawn by
powerful white horse. They entered
the bank. and while two Of the men
covered the ASS slant cashier with their
reyolyers, the other went inside the
railing. and after beating the teller
into insenslbility, he took sil the loose
money IN sight. The next instant they
were IN the buggy. the lines We're
picked up, and under cutting lash
the horse sped away for the city.
The men arrested are Charles Mullen,
stock yards butcher, VINO owned the
covered wagon which met the roboers,
Maurice Hennessey, whose whole fam
lily Is known TO tue police, and another,
who gives his name as John Corbltt.
The other person escaped, aud Is I'M

"The scheme of the tobbers was that
three should drive up 70 the bank and
hold up the cashier, and then Jump
into the buggy outside and get away.
when they reached Fifty-second-st.,
Corbett was awaiting them with coy-
cred wagon

altogether and ran III all directions.

tenant Jenkins came upon one OF the
band and ordered hlm to throw up ms
hands. For an answer he drew his
revolver and fired at the pl1cky lieu
tenant and his associates. Lieutenant
Jenkins returned the fire and the ces-
perado fell TO the ground with bullet
in his leg. The other three sought
shelter in the neighboring houses and
yards. TWO of them Mullen and Hen
messy, were captured and the other
escaped. The fugitive is now COM
pletely surrounded and can not escape.
Almost Immediately the police were
notf fled of the matter and they acted
with a promptitude that Was very com
mendable. They secured half dozen
speedy horses, told oil half dozen
good riders, armed these with rifles and
revolvers, and the pursuit began with Il
terrible energy.
The thieves selected Stony Island

road to the city for miles.
After terrific chase of two or three
mics, the men in the buggy, and the
officers on horseback, the men were
overtaken along Stony Island-ave. and
running fight ensued. The police
ordered the men to stop, and instead
of dong so they began fling. The
police sreturned the fire, and at the
first round one of the men was
killed. The two others then stopped
and were arrested. All the money
they had taken was found in the buggy
covered with the blood of the killed
man. The amount was about $500.
The prisoners were taken to the Hyde
