space to take up all injurious insects and
their remedies, yet much can be done IN
graduating the common insect pests by
using Tobacco Water or Whale Oil Soap.
These are both very efficient remedies for
all small insects that feed upon the young
shoots and leaves OF plants.
10 make the Tobacco Water, Simply
boil up a kettle OF tobacco stems and wa
ter. This will make a strong decoction
that can be applied to the tops OF small
trees with common garden sprinkler;
for using on larger trees, a small hand
force pump becomes necessary.
Another mixture that answers the
same purpose as the Tobacco Water for
killing and driving away insects, is made
by diluting one pound of Whale Oil Soap
in seven gallons OF water. Apply the
same as the Tobacco mixture.
A good wash for the trunks OF trees is
made by dissolving one pound Of potash
in a gallon OF water. This applied to the
trunk and larger limbs will free thetrunk
from bark lice and will also aid thegrowth
of the tree. AS wash for trees, this is
far preferable to whitewash it can be ap-
piled with an old brush or broom.
Kerosene Emulsion will destroy scale
and other insects, and is made asfollows:
Dissolve one pound of Whale Oil Soap in
one gallon of boiling water and add while
hot, two gallons of kerosene; churn vio-
lently with a spray pump or garden sy-
ringe until the mass becomes OF the con.
sistency Of thick cream. Add thirty gal
Ions of water before using as spray.

A Health to Tom Brinly.*
Chuluota, Fla

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
The following sincere, beauty and well
deserved tribute to one of our worthiest
and best men was written by A. Fulker-
son, and printed in the Farmers Home
Journal more than twenty years ago.
Please oblige me and all your readers by
giving it a place in your invaluable AGRI-
CULTURIsT. NORMAN.
Duval County, Fla.
A health to Tom BRINLY, ofpl making fame,
He has won for himself and his children q name
That's spoken with honor in many a land,
By the rich and the poor, and the noble and
grand.
health to Tom BR1NLY, of brave, honest heart,
He has acted the man, he has done well his part.
He sprang from the hard-handed yoeman of toll,
And his genius developes the wealth of our soil.
health to Tom BRINLY, his burrows are deep
And they throw up the soil where the farmers
shall reap;
For his p1ows are as true the anvil that
stands
Where he fashions them out of his own honest
handsl
health to Tom BRINLY, wherever he goes!
Good luck to his friends, and bad luck to hisfoes
May the smiles Of prosperity brighten his way,
And theIove which he values ne'er know of decay
health to Tom RRINLY, of humor and fun,
When his last round is plowed, and life's furrow
is done
May the trumpet of God with it's music of love,
Call an honest man home to the mansions above!

Homemade Fertilizer, and Other
Topics.

4Up1CSs
There is as much good money squan-
dered forcommercial fertilizers by Florid-
ians, as there is for oats, corn and hay,
and both OUTLAWS are quite unnecessary,
inasmuch as the State furnishes the raw
material for fertilizers in inexhaustible
quantities, all ready for mixing and ap-
plying. Oats, corn and hay can be raised
in sufficient quantities for home consump-
tion, and that ought to satisfy any citi-
zen Of this commonwealth Wehave thous-
ands upon thousands OF acres of rich
bay, hammock prairie and fat woods
land, suited to the growing of corn and
oats; and every orange grove that has
been cultivated two or more years pro-
duces spontaneous crops of crab grass,
nnequaled by the tlmot thy, red-top, clover
or prairie hay, baled and shipped into
Florida from anywhere, at from $25 to
$40 per ton to the consumer. There may
be otherforage plants equalto crab grass,
but none superior, if cut and cured at the
proper time; especially when it is consid-
cred that crab grass furnishes it's own
seed without cost to the owner of the cul-
tivated land.
But fertilizers was the subject intro
duced for the serious consideration of
every one who uses them in large or
small quantities. On every hand, coast
or inland the crude materials are to be
found, ready for mixing and applying,
along the principal rivers in Florida i'm.
mense deposits of alluvial soil are found
as rich in plant food as those of the far
famed river Nile. At intervals shell
mounds exist, containing phosphate and
common lime, Bays are scattered at
convenient distances composed OF strict
ly pure vegetable peat or muck. Now
take one-third each of these three ele-
ments, grind and thoroughly mix, ad-
ding, if deemed expedient, few pounds
OF caustic potash to the ton, and you
have a fertilizer that will do your plants
and trees far more substantial good than
any commercial fertilizer costing FIVE or
ten times the amount your humble home
made article does, without an astonish-
ing elaborated analysis printed on the

The Century Co.'S Magazine for Young Folks.
Enlarged and Printed in New Type.

SINCE 1873, when, under the editorial manage
ment Of Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, the publication
of st. Nicholas for Young Folks was begun, it has
led all magazines for girls and BOYS. Nothing
like 1t was known before, and to-day, as the Chi
cago Inter-OcedH recently said % it is the model
and ideal juvenile magazine of the world"
Through its pages the greatest writers of our
time are speaking to the youth of America and
England, and the best artists and engravers are
training the eyes Of the boys and girls to appre-
ciate the highest in art. Nobody knows how
many readers 81. Nicholas has. In the third
largest public library in America,-that in In
dianapohs,-more than 5000 people read each
months number.
Since the first issue Mrs. Dodge has re-
mained as editor. Early in its history other
young peoples magazines, Our Young Folks, :"
The Little Corporal" " Riverside" etc, were
consolidated with it, and its history has been ons
Of growth from the first. Tennyson, Bryant,
Longfellow, Whittier, Miss Alcott, Mrs. Burnett,
Charles Dudley Warner, W. D. Bowels, and al
most every well-knOwn writer of our time have
contributed to its pages. There is only one way
in which its conductors can make it better, and
that is by making more Of it, and so they an
nounce that with the beginning Of the seven
teenth volume (November, 1882 st. Nicholas
will be enlarged by the addition Of eight, and
|. sometimes sixteen, extra pages in each number.
This enlargement is absolutely required to make
room for the rich store of new material which
has been secured for the benefit Of st. Nicholas
readers. The use Of new and clearer type viii
be begun with the November number.
During the coming year there are to be four
important serial stories by four wellknown
American authors. Athletics and outdoor sports
will be a special feature contributed by Walter
Camp, Of Yale, and othersl, and there will be
stories Of character and adventure, sketches Of
information and travel outdoor papers, articles
Of special literary interest, suggestive talks on
natural history, other scientific subjects and the
march Of events. Both the December and jan
uary numbers are to be holiday issues.
The price will be the same as heretofore, $500
q year, 25 cents a number, and all dealers and
the publishers (The Century Co., New York. take
subscriptions. New subscribers should begin
with November.

Extra InduC0mGnt Sale.

AUR season for selling winter
- goods is getting short. We
must carry over stock or 'extra
induce" buyers. We therefore
decide by a timely sacrifice to con-
vert goods into cash, by giving
this unusual discount:
TOe,aty per cent of from regular
marked prices, aohich gives the buyer
goods at net cost.
During thirty-three years of
BUSINESS it is our proud record to
have won a reputation for avoid
ing all misrepresentation and
keeping all our promises, and this
is not one low bait-price to catch
average profits, but is a we'll
defined, broad gauge policy to
"extra induce" buyers, and turn
a long winters stock in a short

clndes our entire stock of Ready
