vi AXE Farming a Business,

Editor Florida A griculturiSt:
There is hardly single branch of the
farming industry which, if handled with
half the business-like skill, energy and de-
termination bestowed on any other indus
try or pursuit, which would not be great
ly, improved and rendered vastly more
remunerative. When our farmers take
hold of farming like they had to work
their salvation out of it-butn not as some
try to work out their salvation-and
condense their efforts not taking an end
here and another there, and letting the
whole thing lag in the middle-and not
till then will the earth blossom as the
rose, and the wilderness bring forth her
increase. That this is more than true is
proven by the fact that those who are
considered prosperous are the men we
find closely calculating, and tending their
business in business-like manner.

Musk Melon Culture.

Editor Florida AgricuHuriSt.
Musk melons are fruit which will amp
ly repay the cost of growing on a small
scale for the home market, and more es-
pecially for ones own table, coming as it
does at time when other fruit is scarce
In dry weather they require and gener-
ously respond to frequent and heavy wa
tering-a charge which few crops will
stand, when water is applied by hand.
My little patch last summer consisted of
about thirty hills, literally fortified.
When the fruit was set / often used as
much as q bucket of water to the hill five
or six nights in the week, the weather
being very dry. [ sold enough fruit to
pay for my time and fertilizer, with all [
could eat as profit. Lost quite one-third
by 'pOssums. Two or three weighed as
high as nine pounds, and from one hill of
a small variety [ cut nineteen sound mel
ons, two or three damaged and the pos
sums polished off about dozen.

Intensive Cultivation the Farmers
Salvation.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
/ earnestly believe there is nothing
which will make him, who cu1tivates the
soil, SO prosperous and independent SO
soon as intensive cultivation. This,
with smaller areas cultivated, will prove
one of the surest cures for mortgages
and other ills of tillers OF the soil.
Weeds are blessing in that they COM
pei cultivation by those who would not
cultivate otherwise; but the thrifty man
WHO understands the needs of growing
crops of all kinds will cultivate to make
them grow, just as much as if there was
not a weed to be seen. The best crops
always follow the best cultivation, other
things being equal, and intensive cult
walton upon poor soil will pay better
than slip-shod cultivation upon rich SOIL
That the above is true is apparent with
even single season, but much moro so
when followed up for long series of
years. Intensive cultivation requires
close application and attention to details;
and habits thus formed will follow in the
treatment of everything about the place,
and general thrift and prosperity will be
the result. G.. L. HOPKINS.

A Cheap Orange Ladder.
Fruitland Park, Fla.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
[ think a ladder to be used in picking
oranges or other purposes can be made
by the following directions, which will be
superior to the one in common use. Go
to the bay head, or swamp, and cut a
black gum, white bay or cypress tree, as
straight possible of the desired length,
six inches in diameter at the stump. Lay
this in the shade for about three months.
Then work it down so it will be two and
one-half by four inches; bore three-quart-
er inch holes every sixteen inches COM
mencing at the bottom on the four inch
face, TO within three feet Of the top, then
saw it to within SIX inches Of the top,
through the center of the two and one
half inch face, then put one.half inch
bolt through the top from the four inch
face to keep it from splitting. Make the
steps OF we'll seasoned hard pine one by
two inches, make the first one for the top
eighteen inches long in the clear; make
each step one inch longer SO that the
ladder will be about two and one-halffeet
wide at the bottom; then nail three steps
between the top step and the top OF the
ladder, two feet long, wedge the ends Of
each step, give good coat of paint and
keep in the dry when not in use. All who
want good, light, strong ladder should
try this plan. G. W. BLACKBURN.

Feeding Cassava To Cows.

Editor Florida A g1iculturist:
Here is something worth a years sub
scription (if not several of them) to the
AGRICULTURIsT, to those who feed cassava
to stock. / have used it for years to my
satisfaction. Until this season [ have
cut it into pieces with a corn cutter, knife
or Ratchet. Last fall my coWgot a piece

would no doubt have chOked to death
before morning. After vain efforts to re-
move it, [ went for two neighbors, rOut-
ed them out of bed and we roped the COW
and elevated her head and poured down
some linseed oil and with heavy pressure
on the outside forced the obstruction
down, but that COW would not eat cas-
sava for weeks again. | then used q
block or malet and mashed cassava on
rude table nailed to two trees near cow
shed. The root is so brittle that it mashes
very nicely, unlike most roots, as there
seems to be no fibre. Hard and woody
pieces can be used that q COW could not

The Goat in Florida.

Editor Florida A griculturiSt:
The goat is not considered enough in
Florida. From experience have had with
one, | am fully satisfied of it's profitable
ness. Xmas of 1888 two kids came to
hand, and in November, 1890, another
two. The cost of keeping was nothing,
as it seems impossible to find any kind
OF vegetable they will not eat; there is
no trouble on this score This goat
gives one pint of very rich milk daily.
At the present time, the two kids of last
November are fat and in excellent condi-
ton for table. No family need be with
out milk with stock of goats.

A Chance for the PIucky.

Editor Florida AgriculturiSt:
DON'T let the cold scare you out boys,
here is your chance to make something,
quit, and vegetables will be scarce
Force your plants ard see who can get
the first crop. We must make living
out OF the garden as oranges will be
scarce in this section. All two year old
trees in grove are split, also many old
ones; nursery stock got off easily.
Mercury was down to 10Y degrees. Most
all oranges were picked before the freeze.
Smoking trees did very little good, as
trees froze fifteen feet from fire. Water
is a better protection than smoke as
some beans along the river escaped.

winter in a lot by the lakeside, feeding on
bran and cotton seed meal, cassava and
the Spanish moss, (no hay) and but the
very small growth of grass. Fresh moss
makes good hay. But my cow will leave
any other feed for the mashed cassava.
| wonder that more people do not plant
this useful plant. The tops--used for

enough for q few days use at one time.
