grades of oranges on tree, and one of
these grades was fancy, and you we're sent
there in the darkness to gather nothing
but those that were fancy, where else
would you feefor them except, where the
foliage was thickest? Another, did any
one ever see a tree during a drouth, that
did not suffer worse by having it's fruit
clipped from it at that time? Another,
does the wood of the orange tree the
other side of the equator twist from the
sun as it does here, or does it follow the
course of the sun over there, the same as
our forest trees do here?

Call it what you will, it pays-informa-
ton is worth what it costs. If we have
good time it affords a satisfaction, and
life is none too full of these. Ii a bad time
it learns us to be content with ''liie at
home" We are not so fully impressed
with what we see or hear at home as we
are with that cleaned from afar (aprOphet
is not without honor etc). wish, while
speaking of what | have seen and en-
joyed on my recent "outing," to men
ton that with one exception have come
home deeply impressed with the signif-
canoe Of the words of the immortal
Payne, "There is no place like home," at
least not among the sand hills and pal
metto flats of some OF the regions passed
over.
The farmer in me went to sleep several
years ago and you'd surely thought him
dead until struck the fat-woOds (?)'and
one of the phosphate (undeveloped) re-
gions of PascO county, Here it was |
asked the price Of land, the profits of
sheep and the yield of corn and potatoes.
They told me four to five hundred bush
els to the acre of the latter and all saleable
at 40 to so cents per busheI. | did not
care for the yield of corn, but they told
me rice was q good crop, sugar cane a
certainty and all sorts of truck did well.
The soil is rich in phosphoric acid and
potash, and when these are found in a
state of nature, nitrogen will be found.
The farmer in me rose up in his might
and we have had great tusseI. The
farmer says go sir, WhereyOu can grow a
thousand crops and where you can live in
independence and comfort at home. And,
oh how the old fellow became imperative
when he pictured the fat COWS, the sleak
horses, the pigs and chickens, the chufas,
the pinders, the rice, the oats, the green
corn and watermelons! When up jumps
the old Dud. Adams speciality idea and
he thunders away about commerce and
interchange and the more civilized way
OF living. He tries hard to soften the old
farmer by telling bow profitable are the
tropical fruits, the mangos, the Avocado
pears, the CcmOts, the pineapples, yield
ing, 'prospectively, from $500 to -, 900

o. >
there the food, congeals, and the water
alone escapes. This process of nature is
carried on depositing the food on either
edge of the bud, until the space around
it is filled, and the bridge across the bud
is completed SO the sap can pass over,
and on up to it's destination, the extremi-
ties OF the limbs of the tree; but not with
the same pressure Or force that it did be-
fore the cut was made, for by that act
you created habit in the tree which is
hard to overcome. Nature in the tree
has been thwarted by part Of it's sap
channels being Obstructed and others
turned from their natural course towards
the cut, thereby forming new vermicu-
lated channels which only let overflow
the most vapOrOus part of the sap the
rest being retained at the wound, through
the adhesiveness of that which was car
ried there for q purpose, the purpose OF
healing the wound. 1t makes but little
difference whether the bud lived or died,
the food which the sap stores at that
particular point soon generates Off
springs-water sprouts $50 called). Now
this phenomenon shows plainly, if NO
other harm has been done that the sym
metry of the tree has been effected to the
amount of what was withheld from other
parts OF the tree to make sprouts where,
or near to where the wound was made.
Well, what's the remedy? Saw off all
the tree above the bud, or water sprOut,
as the case may be. Keep your shears
off, and in q remarkably short time you
will have a well proportional tree again.
But suppose you do not saw the tree off,
and instead cut the sprouts off, what will
be the consequences? More sprouts, not
only at the old wound, but the root, and
other parts of the trunk of the tree
Take your shears, cut Off the thorns SO
you can get to those sprouts; cut them
off, as you did the others. By this time
as Pecks Bad Boy would say about his
pa "the sap is all broken up" and
through habit becomes sportive, and
forsakes it's old channels, and adopts the
cause of RIGHTEOUSNESS, darting from one
part of the tree to another, generating
sprouts wherever it goes.
Natures process of removing the SUI
perfluous limbs of an orange tree is so
slow that the vitality of the tree is not
effected. There is not anybody excusa-
BILE for removing those limbs with the
shears, with the view of making the tree
only pleasing to the eye, except dudes,
and they are only SO far as the symmetry
in their dress is concerned. SO let them
bear in mind that the more heroic prun-
ing they do the less danger there will be
of bloat attacking their purse pocket.
The qualities of other fruits are, as a
generalrule improvedby assisting nature
in making them larger, but, OH how
different it is with the orange. The lar
gest are the most inferior. To make
speed 1 will now ask the question. Who
ever saw an old dilapidated grove, which
had had half chance, and that has not
