Knoll's pump, a ten horse power boiler,
the chief engineer of his mills and, as he
thought, 1900 feet of pipe. BY some
mistake, however, only about half OF the
pipe, 5000 feet, came. On one side of
the grove Mr.. Burlington has fine little
lake, on the banks of which he put up his
boiler and pump. From the lake across
the full length of the grove was laid
three-inch main, about twelve orfoufteen
inches under the ground. The original
intention was to have lateral pipes of
one and one-fourth inches connect with
the main every hundred feet, running
from the main in the centre Cf grove to
either side, but owing to the scarcity of
pipe these laterals were placed IT'S feet,
apart, with hydrants every IT'S feet.
The system worked finely, $50 feet Of
hose are used, and barrel ofwatercan be-
applied to tree in less than minutes
time.
Owing to thesIength and weight OF the
hose it requires two men to handle it,
but when the additional pipe is put in it
will reduce the quantity of hose to fifty
feet, which one man can easily handle,
The total cost of the plant for irrigating
the entire 70 acres was, we believe only
$4,000
Mr.. Petty the accommodating superin-
tendent, will take pleasure in showing
the works to those interested.

The Increase of Irrigation.

There is no abatement in the irrigation
craze and we are glad of it, for we be-
lieve it is the one thing needed to add to
our wealth and prosperity. From every
section of the State comes tidings of
plants erected and being erected, and
ii the "boom" keeps on we will soon
be independent of the actions of the rain
clerk
The AGRICULTURIsT takes to itself no
little credit for this state of affairs; it
was the AGRICULTURlsT which first, in the
face of prejudice and derision, announced
that irrigation was all that was needed
to make the State to blossom as the
rose, and on our experimental grounds
demonstrated the truth of the statement.
This was several years ago, and at that
time there was probably not an irriga
ting plant of any extent in the State;
now they are quite numerous, and will
soon, we hope and believe, be the rule
instead OF the exception.
The plants that have been put in dur
ing the past year are allshapes and sizes,
but that is immaterial SO long as they
do the work-furnisht the required amount
of water.
Mr.. Geo. A. Burlington, a wealthy mill
man of Eau Claire, has recently put in a
plant that is worthy of more than pas
sing notice on account of it's extent, it's
simplicity, effectiveness and cheapness.
Mr.. Burlington has o seventy acre grove
three miles east of town, most of his trees
being young, about three years old.
When he came downthe early part of the
winter, he brought with him fine

manure, others With FLORIDA phOSphdteE
in their various forms and others still
with combinations of these and other
| fertilizing materials. Unless my judg-
ment is greatly at fault, such a practical
object lesson in orange growing would be
of the greatest value to this industry and
all engaged in it.
Another series of experiments which |
am anxious to see instituted is to deter
mine the mountaineering of our sandy
Florida soils. Unless am greatly mis-
taken the loss from this source is greater
than most people imagine, We want to
know what becomes of our fertilizers
after we apply them to ourgroves. only
a carefully conducted series of expert
ments can determine this. Simultaneous
tain, if possible, some method of prevent
ing this leach if it exists.
The cost of such an experimental or
ange grove il economically managed,
would be very little. / believe that after
the enterprise is once started five hundred
dollars a year will pay all expenses. The
manufacturers who enter decomposition
will no doubt furnish their goods gratis.
The surplus revenue arising from the
inspection of fertilizers cannot be applied
to betteruses. Thenumber of important
practical questions which could thus be
placed in process of solution, is aim ost
endless. Many of these questions are pc
culiar to our soil climate and productions.
They are practically new questions and
to a certain extent. local. We must set
tie them ourselves. No one else will do
it for u.s.
In our opinion no plan so pregnant for
the good of our people has yet been sug-
gested, and as the expense is light and
comes from the pockets of those most
interested in the matter-as it is propos-
ed to maintain the station with the surplus
accrulng from the inspection tax on fertil-
izers, which, of course the consumer pays
we can see no possible objection to the
plan.
If as Mr.. Robinson says, the stations
can be maintained at an annual expenses
OF $500, it will be $500 we'll expended.
And if the $15, 900 appropriated for the
maintenance OF the periment tai Etation
at Lake City, was utilized in this way, in
keeping up thirty station of this kind in
every section of the State, we think re-
suits would be more satisfactory and
our people better pleased.

Desmodium for Hay.

While waiting for the train at Oxford,
Fla, few days since, the writer became
deeply interested in the conversation of
farmers and fruit growers on the subject
of raising hay. Among the number pre-
sent were two of Oxford's most intelli-
gent and progressive citizens, Mai. R. G.
Wright and Mr.. W. E. Mckay, both of
whom had had several years experience
in raising beggar weed hay. These gen
tlemen spoke enthusiastically of their
success on this line, and supposing their
opinions and experience might stimulate
others to move in the same direction,
jotted down their statements for publ
cation. They said substantially as fol-
lows:
That beggar weed in Florida was with
out a peer for producing hay cheaply
and of most excellent quality only one
blowing is necessary, which should be in
May, soon after the seed begins to ger
inmate. A previous blowing, say in
March or April, would put the land in
better condition for yielding a good crop.
Hay cutting should be performed while the
plant is in bloom. Only four hours sun
shine is necessary to- cure this hay and
put it in order for the barn. good
mower can be bought for. $50. A hand
press can be bought for $40 for use in
the field. Good pine land will yield four
tons, nor aero and at tho sann tinnn ho
adding fertility to the land
If the land is not already seeded by
previous crop SOW one-quarter to one
half bushel of seed per acre before the
May blowing. After the first years seed
ing, the left stalks near trees and stumps
will re-seed the land for ensuing years.
Seed may be bought at Oxford at $3.50
per bushel.
This subject is respectfully submitted
to the consideration of the Farmers AL
lance and all others who use hay. no
tice that excellent agricultural journal,
the FLORIDA AGRIcULTUR1sT copied my
late article on "Beggar Weed without
giving proper credit, which we take as an
oversight.

making in Florida should be the means
of directing attention to the great value
of beggar weed to Florida, the writer
