CULTIVATE DIFFERENT CROPS.
This part OF gardening is usually very
much neglected to the great damage to
quality and quantity of garden crops.
All the crops should be run through with
rake every four or five days and thor
oughly worked up with the plow or po-
tato hoe every ten days. After each work
ing with the plOw, etc., the soil between
the rows should be frmed with q roller,
unless we irrrigate. After firming, rake
lightly and briskly to roughen the sur
face.
AS soon as your turnips, etc., put on
the rough leaf, thin out somewhat where
very thick. When two inches high thin
rutabagas and beets to eight inches in
the drill turnips, milan and stap leaf to
four inches and globe varieties to six
inches in drill Carrots, parsnips and
raddishes may stand three inches and do
we'll. Indeed, if raddishes are not thickly
sOWn they need no thinning and but lit
tie works. Work all crops fairly deep un-
til the roots fill the soil, then lightly.
Peas, beans, ETC., unless planted very
thickly, need no thinning. In fact peas
are rarely planted thick enough, espec-
tally the earlier sorts. The vine crops,
although they would be benefited by
more culture, five could get at them, are
only thinned and worked around until
the vines are started, and then we plow
them and let them CO. Two or three
plants to the hill is sufficient. Cultivate
cabbage, tomatoes, egg plant, okra, ETC.,
deeply at first; later, lightly. AS for 9th
er crops. In fact made no particular
difference in the culture of vegetable
crops. Onions, usually worked by hand,
arequite manageable with the pIow when
three feet apart between the rows, and it
is snot safe to have them nearer on sandy
ridge land, unless you care to irrigate.

IFIRST PRIZE.l
For THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT
A Kitchen Garden on Sand Ridge for
Fall and winter.


[ came to Florida in the winter of
1886, and have been gardening on light,
sandy soils ever since. Two yearsI have
irrigated and two years gardened with
out, and I have no hesitancy in saying
that good vegetables may be grown on
any sandy ridge in Volusia county, eth
er with or without irrigation. [ freely
admit that it is not as easy matter to
grow garden stuff on such a soil with un-
skilled culture as on a more compact and
moist soil. 1t is easier, however, to pre-
pare and cultivate light soils than those
of heavier texture. This difference is quite
an item in the beginning and goes far
toward balancing results. 1t takes
upon an average from 500 to 5000 per
acre-OWing to whether drainage is need
ed or MOTTO clear and fit heavy soils in
this county for culture. Then it takes
from two to three years culture in coarse
crops to bring them to the right condi-
ton for vegetable growing. Your sand
ridge may be prepared for $35, and will
grow vegetables from the start, and by
using skill and intelligence in bringing
up such, improvement will have been
made in it's condition in three years time.
Now, different soils require different
modes of treatment. The principles of
growth and culture are the same in all,
but the manner of carrying out these
principles and bringing about results is
different, that is all. Certain conditions
Of soil, OF moisture, of heat and cold are
to be complied with in any soil, and the
results are the same, it matters not what
the natural condition of the soil is. Some
soils have nearly all the elements neces-
sary to bring good vegetables naturally; =;
others are lacking in many essentials,
and we have to supply them. Do you
see? The soil must be built up, and in
the meantime handled according to it's
texture. If it is too light you must firm
it; if too heavy tighten it. With these
preliminary remarks | will give you the
results OF my experience in handling light
soils for the past four years. The first
thing l present is
THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL
AS our pine ridges need no drainage all
we have to do is to remove trees, stumps
and roots, and every kind of obstruction
to the free course of the plow. Next, we
run over with the plow and again re-
move roots, trash, etc., turned up. Keep
a grubbing hoe handy, and when the

hoe. Continue to go thrOughit with the
plow until the soil is loose and fine and
all roots are out. About three times
going over ought to do. After the first
time, shift your clevis to the right of the
pillow beam and make the horse walk in
the furrow. This insures close breaking.
Don't lay off plat in to land, but COM

For rutabagas, turnips, carrots, beets,
parsnips, radishes and onions, I made

THIS week we devote our entire
MM space to the discussion of a subject
~ that is, or at least should be, near
to the hearts Of our people. No
home is complete without good garden,
or at least garden as good as circum-
stances will permit. And the better the
garden the more complete will be the
home, the more happy, healthy and
prosperous it's inmates.
In order to assist the people of Florida
to make their gardens better, and conse-
quently their families happier, the pub
Usher of The AGRICULTURIsTs some weeks
ago announced that prizes to the amount
of $40 would be given for the best articles
on the subject of the Family or Kitchen
Garden, and in response to this an
nouncement many articles were forward
ed to this Office, large number of which
are published in this issue, and others
will appear in subsequent issues.
We feel perfectly safe in saying that
never before has any one subject per
tanning to the prosperity and welfare OF
the State been so exhaustively treated as
is the subject of the Family Garden in
Florida in this issue of the AGRICULTURE
IsT. In fact, alter reading it's well-filled
pages we believe that our readers will
agree with us that there remains little,

The matter of awarding prizes was re-
ferred to Prof. A. H. Curtis, agricultural
editor of the Times Union, than whom
there is no more competent judge in the

upon the merits of the different articles.

In Part II Of the Circuit Court yes.
terdny, before Judge PAUL, there was
argued by attorneys appearing Tor the
new bridge company, Tho Wheeling
Bridge Company, and also for The
Wheeling and Belmont Bridge Com
pany, the seven pleas fled by the Inst
named corporation in answer to the
petition OF The Wheeling Bridge Com.
pany for the appropriation OF some land
situated on the east shore OF tho Island
and just south OF the Suspension bridge.
which is owned by The Wheeling and
Belmont Bridge Company and desired
by the new bridge company,
Messrs. A. j. Clarke aud Henry M,
Russell appeared for the Suspension
bridge people and Mr.. W. p. Hubbard
for the new concern. The arguments
had were nearly all on the fifth and sixth
pleas. The fifth plea commenced BY re-
citing that the defendant is n properly
chartered corporation, and that in the
year lS47 and prior to that time,
Henry Moore, trustee, Daniel Zane and
Daniel G. List, trustee, owned
and maintained ferry, and that among
the privileges owned by them was the
exclusive privilege Of transporting across
the river persons, animals and vehicles,
and that this exclusive privilege ex.
tended for the limit Of a half.mile in
both directions, up and down the river;
that as corporation it did by virtue OF
authority vested in 1t by the Assembly
Of Virginia purchase this ferry privilege
including the exclusive right; and that
the petitioner is about to Infringe on
this exclusive privilege by constructing
bridge over the Ohio river within the
limits Of one-half q mile from the de-
PENDANTS present bridge.
The sixth plea differs from the fifth
in that it sets upthe claim TINT the char
ter OF the Wheeling and Belmont Bridge
Company taken in connection with the
ferry privileges purchased as before re-
cited, constitute a contract with the
State, and that this contract cannot be
repealed by the Slate without the con.
setit Of the other party. :
The other pleas set forth that tho land
which the petitioners seek to have an.
propriated to their use is not actually
necessary for their uses; that it is now
in actual use by the defendants and that
its Use is necessary for tho purpose OF
maintaining it's suspension bridge.
