Clean Culture Wont Do.

Speaking of clean culture it is mis-
take to let nothing grow green in the
grove and orchard. A thorough mode
OF culture should be kept up in the grove
from and after January until July. Com
mence in January by giving the land
between the rows of trees a thorough
blowing, leaving strip cash side of the
trees as wide as the tops OF the trees.
Cover the land according to size and age
OF trees, which should beworked with the
hoe or some light tool so as not to in

Carelessness in Ordering.

CarelessneSs in Ordering.
One would think that, after all the at
tention given to the subject of ordering
in the catalogues of firms doing O retail
busin' SIS by mail, any one resembling money
in letter with an order for goods would
be careful to always give their name and
postoffice address; but such is not the
case. Hardly a day passes but what
our firm receives orders with the post
office address deficient. In many cases
the pOstmark is so indistinct as to make
it impossible to decipher it. However
there is usually some clew by which we
can trace the matter up but it always
occasions delay
We have before us now an order from
some reader of the AGRIcULTURIsT, reply
to our advertisements, with absolutely
no clue whatever to it's owner orhis post
office address. 1t is written on a letter
head of the South Florida R. r. Co., is
dated April 7th, tells what is wanted,
stamps enclosed to the amount, but
lacks the name and address of the sender
and the postmark is so indistinct that
we are unable to tell where it came from.
There is something in this beyond the
delay caused by the lack or deficiency of
address. Many person sending small
amount will never take the trouble to
write a second time in regard to it when
we are unable to find where it belongs.
The sender says to his neighbors,
"Why sent & Co, an order enclosing
money for goods or acknowledgements
OF it's receipt"
The impression given is that - &
Go. are set of scamps cheating custom
rs out OF money sent them, and all who
hear OF it conclude to let that firm Sc
verely alone. 1t is not just that any
firm should suffer in reputation for the
carelessness of their customers.
This is not an exceptional case, but
one that any firm doing a large retail
business by mail has to contend with
quite often.
Let every one see that their name and
postoffice address is given in full If you
do this and deal with responsible firms
you will have no cause to complain OF
delays, or OF being cheated by any Of
them; also if you do not receive the
goods or an explanation of why are
not sent within reasonable time, write
the firm in regard to it and you will
always receive satisfaction.

Booming Style Of Advertising Don't
Pav.-Be Just and Fear not.

[ have often observed articles ad-
vising that immigrants be secured for
the State by means of advertising; but
attracting people to the State and in
ducing them to settle are two different
things, as they speedily discover the
difference between the picture and the
reality of Florida life, the former as rep
resented by glowing circulars of irrespon-
sible advertisers, who care nothing for
the future prosperity of the community
providing they can well line their own
pockets. Surely it is enough to stale
those advantages which only exist with
out bringing in those which exist only
on paper.
Before coming to Florida | read that
frost was almost unknown, so was rather
astOnished to find on my second night
in the State that there had been a frost
tits stated that this town suffered nothing
from the freeze, nevertheless my grapes
and guavas were cut to the ground and
several orange. lemon and peach trees
killed below the bud, and the same in
other groves.
I had one little common guava about
three inches high that escaped, though
exposed to'the fullsweep of the wind, but I
hardly desire on that account to get up
and say that my guavas escaped injury.
1t could do no good and rather harm to
try and build up town on willful mis-
representation of facts. In truth this
policy resembles the ostrich which hides
it's head in the sand and thinks to escape
notice.
This is a good ,neighborhood, but is
there any sense in claimingits superiority
(or that OF other places) over hundreds
of locations in the State Just as good?
1t is this very thing which drives out
many intended settlers, who afford an
abundance of free advertising on their
return home, and have caused some of
the English papers Il know nothing of
the other States in the Union) to stigma
tie Floridaas fraud. ALondon paper
has for it's motto: ''Be inst and fear
not" When this is more generally adopt
ed here, Florida will enter Oh a new era
of prosperity.
Some time ago there was All article in
an English paper on the enormous profits
oflemon culture in Florida, 5000 ($3, OOO)
per acre when in full bearing. Can any
words be too strong in denunciation of
the man who would write or instigat the
writing of such an article with deliber-
ate attempt to deceive too gulhblepub-
lic.?
1 once read letter by returned En-
glishman, who had the extremely bad
taste to charge all of his ,countrymen in

Protecting Garden Plants from Frost.

The two most important industries O.
Central and South gardening
and fruit culture-to be successful must
be made business for years, or a life
successful gardener of April 1890, will
have his ground laid out, and his ap-
pliances for protection, irrigation and
6ertilizing or feeding just as he will wish
to have them in 1900 or 1910, for it is
the only sure way to success; while the
one sure way to disappointment and
failure is to go on the hap-hazard plan,
trusting the labor of months to the
mercy of frost, heat and drouth. am
asked how one can protect an acre of
vegetables at nominal cost, and in an
swering we will bear in mind that our
garden appliances are to be used and
arranged for five, ten or twenty years.
For egg plants, tomatoes, summer
SQuashes ETC., q box or frame of four
sides or three sides and no bottom is
used-size of frame, eighteen Or twenty
inches and six to eight inches wide.
These may be made of thinest boards or
shakes, and kept in place around the
plant by stakes each side nailed to the
frame or box. For cover make frame
of light material and cover it with fer
tilizer sacking, cheese cloth, orange box
siding or mating made from marsh grass.
Secure this mating to the north side of
the box by staple hinges and we have
protection serviceable for years if housed
when not in use. AS our plants increasein
size, we raise and bank under them.
Vines may be protected in a similar
manner with less expense. Narrow strips
of board nailed, or poles fastened by
stakes, to the inside of the row and to
these attach the covers which may be
three feet by ten or twelve feet. To COW
er or uncover, or to raise and lower the
hinged protection over an acre of plant
isvery simple but effective A staple is
driven in the front or south side of each
cover in the center. Then run a wire
along the row with loop or ring twist
ed in it for each staple; then either unite
each staple to each loop in the wire by
link or Irvine, or drive the staple through
each loop. Being thus united one can
stand at the end of the row, wire in hand,
and raise or lower the covers along an
entire row. If several rows are to be
raised at one moment, we have an ap-
pliance like an inverted rake, each wire
fastened to each rake tooth, while the
handle acts as a powerful lever, being
suspended by bolt distant about one
third the length of lever from the wire
fastenings. This device for raising and
lowering covers is a patent; but if any
OF your readers, or any gardener in Flo
rida wishes to use it, they can do so at
nominal cost for the privilege, andifyou,
or they, wish for further particulars on
the subject, will ever continue to be a.

The Old Way.

Sairey Camp, whom Dickens
immortalizod, used to admins
ter medicine by clutching the
patient by the throat and when
he opened his mouth to gasp
for breath she chucked the
medicine down his throat and
left him to swallow it or strangle
as it suited him. This is too
much the way most people ad-
minister medicine to children;
nothing is more pitiable than
to see a little child in the agon-
les of Group fighting with both
its little hands to keep away
the ill-tasting draught that the
nurse is trying to pour down its
throat. Nothing of this sort is
needed with Reid's German
Cough and Kidney Cure. The
children like to take it, and as
it contains no opium or anything
deleterious there is no harm to
be found even from an overdose.
Children can take it freely.
When the little ones come home
from school with wet feet, and
as night comes on they begin
to grow hoarse and their cheeks
flush, and they show signs of
approaching fever, lose no time.
but give them a dose of Rsid's
German Cough and Kidney
Cure before supper; repeat the
dose before going to bed and
you will be spared the pain of
seeing them in the throes of
this most dreaded disease of
childhood, besides passing a
wakeful night at theil bed side.
1t is one of the virtues Of this
most excellent remedy that it
not only cures every individual
case of Group, but it prevents a
recurrence of the malady. |
Relo's German Congh and Kid |
ney Cure should therefore be |
kept on hand in every house

specific for Group and all dis
eases that come from colds.

The New Superintendent.

Prof. L. E. Wolfe was born in
Lewis county, Virginia, in 1852. His
boyhood days were spent in farm
work and it was not until he was 13
years OF age that he entered the dis
trict school for the first tire.
This short winter term was fol-
lowed by farm drudgery and this by
another brief term of winter school.
These two short terms were the on
ly ones he ever spent in country
school as pupil.
Owing to the i'll health OF his faith
er and the crippling of his elder
brother the work on the farm devoly-
ed on young Wolfe, assisted by a
younger brother. He sent his Grip
pied brother to school and it was in
conversation with him during his
summer vacations that he decided to
prepare himself for what proved to
be his life work. He set to work to
study his brothers books at night
and at the age of 10 he was employ
ed to teach district school at $50
per month: Disappointed in a dis
trict school by reason of an epidem-
ic he set out for Lexington, KY,
where an old friend of his, Will
Woo]ery, was in the Pennsylvania
university. He obtained permis'
sion to attend the recitation. Six
months of the ensuing year he at
tended Millersburg college. His
progress in learning was phenome
nally rapid. Coming west in 1875 he
took charge of the public school at
Hopkins. Mo. Since then he has
had charge of schools at Plattsburg
Nevada and Moberly.
Although he never had more thar
sixteen months schooling in his life
