would be glad to be informed if there is more
than variety of the loquat, and if so, which is
the best and at what age does it come into bear

what does the full grown tree look like?
SIGMA.
We know of but one variety of the To-
quat (Eirobotrya Japonica). The tree is
ofquick growth and will bear fruit in four
or five years from the seed. The tree is a
broad leaved evergreen with handsome
foliage, and is valuable as an ornamental

Editor Florida Agricultu1ist:
Will you please tell me in your paper whit Their
palmetto root ashes are better than hardwood
ashes, and how much? Maybe some of your
respondents can give their experience with pal
metto root ashes as a fertilizerfor orange trees
vegetables, etc. If they can will be greatly
obliged. G. r. HOWARD.
Glencoe, Florida
This matter was referred to Prof. J. N.
Whtner of the Agricultural College, and
in reply he says:
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
/ have never seen an analysis OF the
ashes of palmetto. There is no doubt,
however, of it's containing more mineral
matter-I mean the palmetto-than any
of the hardwood with which [ am famil-
lar. Yet the ashes are largely composed
of silica-according to my observations
which, if true, is Of no advantage to our
sandy lands and may account for the
greater bulk as compared with hardwood
ashes. The palmetto (saw) is said to
contain a large proportion of tannin,
and was much used during the civil war
making leather. J. N. WHITNER.

ROUSlNG A GRAVEYARD,
A Freak of Nature that Startled the People
of Waldron, Ohio.

AT about nine o'clock the morning of
the llth inst, the farmers near WaldrOn,
Ohio, were startled by a terrific explosion.
When they reached the Ogden grave
yard, which is on a bluff near the Flat
Rock stream, they discovered that fully
ten acres of earth We're in connection.
Geysers were shooting up to the height of
SIX and eight feet, and gas was blazing
from ten to fifteen feet above the water
of the geysers. The river bed was torn
up, and the water had stopped running,
below the graveyard. Flames are still
shooting from different assures in the
earth. The country had not been sup
posed to be in the gas belt. although To-
cal companies had sunk wells. AT Wal
dron sufficient flow of gas was found to
supply the citizens with fuel. Nobody
thought geyser was slumbering near
the town, and few entertained the idea
of a permanent flow of gas in the locality.
j. I'll. Lane, who lives on the Cooper farm
here, heard terrific report and felt the
earth quivering beneath his feet. He
went toward the graveyard and was soon
confronted by sheet of flame two hun
dred feet high. Then fifty or more foun-
tains of fire burst from the earth. These
were interspersed with six or eight active
geysers. At the east side of the eruption
large stack of hay was in flames and a
field of green corn was destroyed before
the excessive heat from the ten acres of
flames. The river bed was torn to pieces
and huge assures were receiving the
water. Sheets of flames swept over the
water and an area of about an acre was
hurredly converted into huge hole from
which continuous roaring and rumbling
noise proceeds. Within the bend of the
river and for an eighth of mile along
the stream great rents are seen in the
earth and river bed. At the bend of the
river, which is of limestone, is fracture
quarter of a mile in length, and stones
the size of house have been hurled from
their places. The graveyard was shaken
up, the skeletons of the dead being dis
tinctly in the fractures of the earth.
Gas flows freely from the entire surface of
ten acres. Stones are thrown two miles.
The whole country was shaken up, and
the excitement was tremendous. The
gas is now burning for half mile along
the creek.

GLOOMY FRUIT PROSPECTS.
Glance Over Many Sections of the Country
Reveals Very Limited Yield.

The Neav England Homestead says: Ap-
pies will be scarcer and more costly, this
season, than for many a year. In Maine
and limited sections of Vermont and New
Hampshire there is a fair yield of apples,
being best in Maine. Throughout south
ern New England, New York, Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey, and the interior
states, generally, the promise of winter
fruit is worse than was ever before
known. Apples of western New York,
along Lakes Ontario and Erie, which in
good seasons ships much more than
100000 barrels to New York, or for
elgn markets, has almost no crop this
year. There is one considerable area in
Missouri and Kansas, within a radius of
100 miles of Kansas city, in which there
is phenomal crop of winter apples of
fine quality. Eastern buyers are already
gobbling it up at good prices. Summer
and fall apples are also shot, and COM
mand good prices. The Homestead
thinks choice western fruit, like prime
Baldwins, will rule at 81 to S. per barrel,
in Boston and New York, within three
months. Exports of apples from the
United States and Canada, of the 1890
crop, will not be much over 500, 900 bar
rels against zoo, 900 barrels last year, and
l 200, 900 barrels in 1888. Peaches are
practical failure in southern Ontario and
Michigan, as well as in the southern
states and Connecticut. Pears and
plums yield unevenly, but are far below
the average yield, and must command
good prices. Of grapes there is an i'm
mense crop, save in sections of New Jer-
sey and the south, where black rot is
playing havoc with the fruit. A search
ty of other fruits will sustain the market
for grapes. The shortage of large fruit
is due to the injury to the fruit buds by
cold snaps following the warm spells
last winter, and to the cold wave and
rain that blasted the blossoms, while the
drouth in July caused much fruit to drop.
The Homestead's preliminary report of
the potato crop indicates disastrous
shortage in the south and west, cur
tailed product in New York, and fair
yield in New England, if spared by the
rot which is now making its appearance.
Potatoes in Ireland are sadly blighted,
and are also rotting in Scotland.

JUSTICE IN KENTUCKY.
Perry County Court held in the Midst of an
Army of Outlaws.

An Associated Press dispatch from
Pineville, KY, dated Aug. Sth, says:
News of the first day of court held in
Perry county in two years reached here
last night. The court is being held in a
tent, and 400 armed outlaws, represent
ing the French-Ebersole factions, are
camped about the place. The situation
is dangerous in the extreme and battle
is liable to occur at any time. Judge
Lilly, surrounded by two companies of
militia, while third patrols the street,
opened the court and with some difficult
ty impanelled a grand jury.
In his charge to the jury the Judge de-
clared the condition of affairs in Perry
county to be disgrace to Christendom.
During the judges charge several out
laws made suspicious movements, but
they were promptly disarmed, except
two or three, who escaped. The outlaws
are intrenching themselves about the
place, and little is needed to precipitate
a mountain war.
People are afraid to 60 out because of
the unerring aim of these mountain
murderers, armed with Winchesters.
Women and children are fired at almost
daily. There is not a church or school
in the county, and not religious service
has been held for two years.
Judge Lilly sleeps with armed soldiers
in his room. He has made his will and
frankly admits that he hardly expects to
get out alive. All food is tested before
being eaten, and no man is allowed to
enter the town until he has been searched.
CINCINNATI, Aug. pa Hazard, Per-
~ county, KY, special reports that
Judge Iilly'S court, held in a tent
guarded by soldiers, has resulted in 200
indictments already, many of them for
murder and kindred acts of violence, and
that the sheriff with a military posse is
making arrests in the mountains.

ADDRESS OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE
COMMITTEE.

To the Color Bearers Of the Republican
Party IN Vermont: Vermont is on the eve
of another election. Important issues are
before the people. 1t is IF the greatest
importance this year that men of ability
and character be elected to both branches
of the legislature. Times and conditions
are such that, although niggardliness and
stinginess are not to be advocated, all
legislation should be in the line of econ
omy. The Democratic leaders in Yer
mont are quietly but persistently endeav-
oring to create the impression that there
is opposition to the prohibitory law of
our state-and would radically change
or repeal it-and will do their best that
men favoring license or local option be
elected to the legislature. No friend of
morality and temperance can afford to be
absent from the polls ON the first Tues
day of September next.
Every citizen of this commonwealth,
be he rich or poor, high or low, can cast
one vote for the very best man for his
leader and law-maker. If every voter in
Vermont would exercise that privilege to
the best of his knowledge and ability no
one need fear for it's future success and
prosperity. The great danger is that
our citizens being actively engaged in
business will become careless and indif-
ferent and allow the politicians. and those
interested in the spOils to elect such men
to office as they see fit.
Vermont in the past has taken great
pride in her Republican majorities. Shall
her standard be lowered now? The mai
GRITTY given for Vermont in former years
will be compared with the majority given
this year, and the deductions, if any,
therefrom will be heralded from one end
of the country to the other as an index
of the general drift of political sentiment
in Vermont. The question in Vermont
is never one of victory, but majority.
The Republican state ticket nominated
must command the respect and confidence
of every fair-minded voter in the state.
In the words of another from a journal
of a neighboring state: 1.-The ticket is
one of the cleanest and strongest that
the Green Mountain boys have ever been
called upon to support" Let us elect
them by a maority we shall be proud of.
Let no one forget how potent is the in
fluence of example. Let no one be de-
TERED from attending the polls on account
of personal considerations. Let no one
neglect from a feeling of assured victory
to give one day for the good of his party
and his state. If each and every loyal
and earnest Republican will do his full
duty between now and the first day of
the Republican state ticket
will be elected by a majority which will
afford small comfort to the Democracy.

WILL IT RETURN =?
Much Speculation as to the Probable Re-

Much Speculation as to the Probable Re-
appearance of the Grip-What Certain
symptoms Mean.
There can be little doubt that the grip
which played such sad havoc last year, has not
only left its effects upon great many, but
seems to be returning in various localities. All
physicians report that there is an alarming
prevalence of heavy colds, accompanied by all
grip symptoms. Many people take cold easier
than before; others are troubled with weak
eyes, headaches, etc. These things not only
come to those who were laid low by the grip
last year, but are also visiting many who
escaped Pains, neuralgia, lassitude, all the
symptoms are present.
Every leading physician who treated the grip
last season prescribed stimulants. The weaken
ing, depressed state of the body demanded this;
and there are numerous cases on record where
pure whisky saved the lives of men and women
who were fast drifting toward the grave. AS in
all other things. however, the purity of an arti-
Gle determines its value, and to say that ordi-
nary whisky will assist is absurd. 1t is only
pure whisky, of a medicinal quality, which can
be made available. aud it is in this respect that
Duffys Pure Malt Whisky has shown itself to be
immeasurably superior to any other known
s,imulant The attention of the best physicians
has been drawn to this truth. and the fact that
they are prescribing this whisky constantly is
the highest praise they could bestow. Professor
Joseph Parrish says:
1--WE know that whisky will steady the heart,
to use it." Be very careful. however. that you
secure only the genuine, and such as has, by
years of popularity, been proven purest and
best In other words, use only Dufy's.
