 THY HAND WILL LEAD.

My heart cries out to Thee, oh God!
 My weary soul so longs for rest; So oft I've felt Thy chastening rod;
 So oft with weary woes opprest. The weary way my feet must tread;
 The weary way already trod. I faint and falter now with dread;
 turn to Thee, oh Christ. my God. For would foel Thy presence near;
 Dear Saviour, clasp my hand in Thine. I stumble oft and always fear;
 Uphold me with Thy power divine. Then, tho the way be dark and drear, And clouds environ every spot, Thy hand will lead where skies are clear: My feet shall stand on mountain top. Canaan, September 15. B.C.L.

Making silk from Wild Hemp.

Nayemura Sakusaboro, druggist, of Hikone, in Omi, Japan, after many years of experiment and patient re- search, has succeeded in converting wild hemp into 8 substance possessing all the essential qualities of silk. Noth- ing Is said about the process, but it Is asserted that trial of the thread has been made at the silk weaving estab- Hshment in Kioto and other factories with excellent results in every case. The plant in question grows wild on moors and hillsides. It's fiber Is strong and glossy, in no wise inferior to silk when properly prepared.

A Living Insect Trap.

Not 8 single creeping, crawling o, hopping thing is to be seen in our tomato beds except one toad, which in reality is nothing else than wandering hopping) insect trap, and gobbles up every hap less small creature that gets into it. Of course we make pet of our living insecticide, and have almost learned to admire its handsome color and its intelli- gent eye. Sometimes we give 1t an es- pecially dainty morsel, such as large May beetle, or even . potato beetle, centipede, stc. Our guest takes them all with equal gratitude and appetite. There can be no doubt that toads may be colonixed and put to good use in cu- cumber, melon and squash patches. At any rate we intend to assign to them the duty and responsibility of keeping the vines free from bugs this year, and be- Heve that 1t will be safer to trust to their watchfulness than to depend on poison ous applications Gardening.

Renewing Meadows.

The liquids from the stables are used for renewing the meadows by some, but this is not always done to advantage. Good, well routed manure should be evenly spread over the meadow every fall, and fertilizer applied also if neces- sary. All grass lands are benefited by lime and potash, but where the milk and beef take away the fertility the loss is more in nitrogen and phosphoric acid than in potash, the latter abounding more largely in the manure.
 Superphosphates, or ground bone con. taining fair percentage of nitrogen, should show a marked effect on mead ows that are used for pasturing, and 6 yearly application of 400 pounds of such fertilizer per acre should keep the grass in good condition if the season Is favor able, especially if applied on the land in the fall, as the rains will carry 1t down before spring. The use of fertilizers con- taining nitrogen and the phosphates, concludes the Philadelphia Record, should not deter farmers from the use of lime and ashes, however, especially if no manure from the barn yard is applied. There is no reason for failure of mead ows if they are supplied with the plant food necessary for sustaining the heavy demands usually required of such land.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-10-29


1t is enough to say that in Florida
there is room and the htplacefor you,
whoever you are, when you find it. The
thing is to find it. And here the only
word have to say is to find it your
self. Do not ask any one the way DO
not go anywhere irrevocably On the rec
ommendation or experience OF any one
else. DO not Jump at the offer of land
from some amiable land agent, to build
house or plant an orange grove on.
Go, and continue to go, until you find
the place that suits you. That place ex
lists, and you will know it when you reach
it; nor will the reports of any spies ofAs-
Gallon disturb your peace or unsettleyour
preference. 1t is all a matter of expert
ment. The only word I am willing to say
on this subject is, come and see.
AS to the date OF coming, and the date
of leaving, think the student of Florida
has much to learn. If he is in search of
health. The tourist, as such, has, like
Death in the poem, all seasons for his
own. He can take his trip OF two weeks
or two months any time between Octo-
Der and May and not miss much, which
ever date he selects. In his case it does
not matter, as nothing is at stake. But
to the person who visits Florida with the
purpose Of finding out just what and all
Florida can do for him in health. date
and duration of time are matters of very
great Importance. On these points [ can
give only a conviction founded upon my
own logic and observation, for havenot
made acquaintance with my Florida as
an invalid.
Ii were an invalid, and wished to test
the whole value OF the climate of Florida
to myself, would goin October and stay
until September. Iwould spend Septem-
Der on the water and go back in October;
and thus I would live for three years. If
l could not do this, would go in Octo-
her and stay until June. One should have
the benefit of the growing time, and the
time OF maturity, in the midst of this
bOuntiful nature. ALL and more, that
spring and summer do for us at the
North, they do for one here We revive
when nature revives; we awake and be-
come fresh in her awakening; and no.
where does she awake as she does here.
All her cOrdials are in the air for US to
drink and assimilate. Her sap and our
blood run together. So it is everywhere,
and so it is in Florida
''But the HEATH"
Well, here [ accept figures; and [ find
that the mercury runs no such race down
here in the summer months as it does in
the North. This is q great SURPRISE of
course. 1t is nevertheless true, and those
whose permanent residence is in Florida
have, without exception which [ can re
call, assured me that in point of comfort
they greatly prefer the summer of Flori-
da to that of the North and any place
above Georgia is "the North" to the
FlOridian. A man largely experienced in
summer resorts both North and South,
tod me he thought Florida would be-
come a favOrite summer resort for
Southern people," meaning residents of
adjacent States. At first glance this
seems u singular statement, but a second

WHAT a mean habit it is that some
men have, of splitting on the plat
forms, porches and floors Of the
rooms at the depots, furnishing not

true, halls and door ways at public

than contribute to such unnecessary
