Vegetable Business of Florida.

The veget IDLE business OF Florida,
while yet in it's infancy, has already be-
come one of the most important indust-
ries in the State. There is no month in
the year in which fresh vegetables may
not be produced, either for the home or
northern markets.
The soil is SO easily worked that the
crop is brought to maturity with less
labor than attends the same species of
cultivation in the North. The reclaimed
lands in the vicinity OF Kissimmee afford
an inviting field in which to engage in
vegetable cultivation. Early and neatly
prepared and we'll nurtured garden pro-
ducts always find ready sales in North
ern markets at high prices. So much de-
ponds upon the care and handling from
the time the seed is planted until the
vegetable is marketed North that when
losses occasionally occur from mistaken
methods of marketing the fault should
not be charged to the soil or it's capabili-
ties. After the vegetables have been
Grated, quick and sure transportation is
the most essential feature.
Transportation companies are now
giving excellent facilities in this direction
with profit both to themselves and to the
producer.
The vegetable business from Florida
has grown since 1880 very rapidly. At
that time about /, 900 crates were ship
ped annually; at presen about 100000
crates are marketed annually. Toma-

When is the Bee at Her Best.

SIS a queen at her best in her first or
second Year," The foregoing query was
recently answered by some of our best
authorities on bees as follows:
ia. Green, of Illinois, said, "In her
first full season of egg laying" P. H.
Elwood, of New York, and Ell. R. Board
man, of Ohio, considered the first year of
the queens life as most valuable. Pro-
fessor A. j. Cook, of Michigan, replied,
"First always; they may and usually do
last two years." Dadant e Son said,
"Generally good queens are as good the
second and third years as the first. "
James Heddon answered.: "I do not
know. She is just as good as she can be
both years if her surroundings are favor
able, and have had them do business
the third and even the fourth year of
which was proud"
A New York beekeeper replied: 81
should say in the second year. T have
also had queens do wonderful things in
the third year. I think this point as to
the value Of a queen is not fully settled.
Many queens will do equally we'll for
three seasons; others will be superseded
in one, and both bred under the most
favorable circumstances" A. I. Root,
editor of Cleaning in Bee Culture, COM
menting on the foregoing remarked: 81
have at different times decided in favor
of the first year, and then again in favor
of the second. For some purposes a
young queen may be preferable; and
perhaps the great popularity of the I'M
tested queens has come from the fact
that if they are honestly reared they are
always young; therefore the purchaser
has right to expect at least two years
of service. Ny impression is that most
queens begin to fail during the second
At the same time it is true
that we have queens occasionally that
seem to be worth just as much during
the third summer"

the sloping shore ofthe lovely Lake Ge-

ideal situation for a French or italian

are raised the finest known grapes. Ihave
myself set out a vineyard, on just such
slope, graded at great expense to allow
OF irrigation, and sloping toward the
east. So when | came to Florida, and

the purpose of grape culture, wondering
that my neighbOrs had not thought Of

WHO WEARS THE coLLAR9

The Independents in Lawrence county
have begun contest proceedings against
every republican elected on the legisla-
tive ticket, carrying out the instructions
of their Canadian boss. These men
boast Of their independence and freedom
with recklessness that should put any
honest man to shame. If ever politi-
cal party existed that had strings upon
the rank and file, it is this independent
concern. No difference how unjust and
tyrannical an order may be the subordi-
mates of this party, in almost every in
stance, obey the edicts sent forth by the
bosses. These are facts for the conserv-
alive men Of that movement, who have
heretofore been republicans, to consider
seriously and from a sensible and logi-
cal standpoint. AS already stated in
these columns, the democratic party not
only claims the victories resulting from
the independent cause but are reaping
the benefits directly and indirectly.
See the. result in South Dakota: The
total vote of the state is 77,250-35, 900
republican, 24,25O Independent and 49,
600 democratic. Last year the latter
cast $4,000 and the republicans $4,000.
How is that? Who wears the collar?

Public sentiment seems to be growing
stronger every day in favor of James G.
Blaine for the republican nominee for
the presidency in 1892. Many of the
leading papers are putting forth their
strongest efforts to accomplish this re-
suit, and from the general drift of politi-
cal affairs, there is but little doubt but
Blaine will receive the popular vote
of the people for the chief executive oil
this nation.
A prominent Conklinite is credited
with saying that lit simply must be
Blaine We have no one else to look to,
and he is by far larger man today than
he ever was. have been, as you know,
about as prejudiced against him as any
person well could be and from several
standpoints. Until the outcome of the
1884 campaign, which proved how well
and surprisingly he could stand defeat
and yet be a good republican, working
all the time for upbuilding and advanc,
ing the best interests Of the party, ]
have looked upon him as only sharp
tricky politician with no interest at heart
but his own. Today [ am forced to ad,
NIT what everybody knows, that J. g.
Blaine is the statesman Of the age. The
late election indicated him"
The defeat of Blaine in 1884 is gen.
orally understood TO have been caused
by the bitter opposition of Conklin, but
as this faction is favorable to Blaine, the
republicans will be able to carry New
York even If Cleveland is the democratic
nominee, as it now appears he will be.
