Irish Potatoes the Year 'ROund.

Editor Florida AgriculturiSt:
Every farmer in Florida can always
have Irish potatoes the entire year as
they can be planted nearly every month,
if planted as follows; Plow the land
broadcast, breaking we'll run off rows
three feet apart with scooter plow;
cut and drop the potatoes in the furrow
and cover them fifteen or twenty inches
with straw-any kind; run a furrow
around these rows, leaving until it rains
to wet the straw; then plow out the mid
dies and draw up this dirt with hoe,
covering the straw. They will require
but little work afterwards and potatoes
will be found as large as marbles before
the tops show above the ground and the
yield will be surprising. The richer the
land the larger the yield, and the pota-
toes will be bright and clean and free
from rotten specks. All who love Irish
potatoes should try this method.

HOW to- Prosper i'm Florida.

Editor Florida AgTiculturiSt:
With a small orange grove intensively
titled, a careful selection and classifca-
tion of the fruit put up in neat boxes and
shipped when the state of the market in
dicates, two good Florida COWS allowed
to run out days, but Iotted at night, two
brood sows, Guinea and Berkshire cross
bred, and two dozen hens, asmall kitchen
garden, patch of potatoes, cassava,
sugar cane Cor feed), little patch of
chufas, and, Of course, plenty of peas.
Judiciously feed these crops, carefully
save the manure from the stock. and sell
the surplus milk, porkers and eggs; hire
your horse labor, and if you can't live in
more ease, peace and comfort in Florida
than in any other part of the world let
me hear from you. VIM. p. N.

HOW the IS Bill NeeId GrOVe', was
Made.

Editor Florida ASTiculturist:
/ cultivate and fertilize my grove after
the plan and manner, as near as may be,
of trees growing around the house, and
in the back yards. [ scratch the surface
twice or three times between February
and July, sprinkling each time ahead OF
the cultivator, mixture of bone meal,
cotton-seed meal, sulphate of potash and
cotton-seed hull ash, in proportions vary
ing with age and condition Of trees.
After rainy season sets in L may scratch
in another application. | also desire
at this time to kill out a portion Of the
weeds and grass leaving a part to shade
the soil and to make humus. In Novem-
ber or just before the green color leaves
the vegitation l apply bone and cotton
seed meal lightly and turn under. In
this way have made the famous "Bill

Orange e Flower Cordial.

Editor Florida A AgricuHuriSt:
The making Of orange flower cordial
should not be confined to such narrow
limits; it can easily be made and is in
part prepared from what is yearly lost
the petals of the blossom gathered after
falling. This in the cities north will CON-
mand a price as high as $3.50 per quart
bottle. 1t is used in the favoring of acid
and sweet wines, and for household use
will find demand at once in the kitchen
for favoring. 1t has also a potent me-
dicinal attraction being a great nervine
and ranking with absinthe. The above
preparation will notcost over twenty-five
cents per quart, bottled for market.

ground, dropped a few seeds, and SO
on; the job only taking few min
utes. 1t was a dry spring, but gave
no water, just hoed d little till the vines
began to cover the ground. The crop
was abundant, OF good size and quality.
This year am planting much in the same
way; also am going to try sowing some
down with COW peas. Musk melons are
crop that are not grown as much as
should be; though harder to raise than
cucumbers or squashes, can be grown
profitably. W. SToGDoN.

Experimental Station Needed.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:

cal survey and an Agricultural Expert
mental Station. We have an institution
by the latter name located at Lake City,
but is such in name only, and is appar-
emily only fgurative hole into which
$4,000 is annually dumped. The di-

Heavy Production Increases Prices.


Editor Florida A9ricu1turiSt: A
There has been a great deal said about
the orange by men of great experience in
the fruit culture, and as | think there
could be more said on the subject, | will
attempt to write you a few lines in behalf
OF the same. The culture OF the orange
has become very important subject in
Florida. There is no doubt but what
the Florida oranges excel those of any
other country in the world. The late
freeze has caused a great many of the
trees to shed their leaves, but it will only
be matter of short time, perhaps in
another year, it will be hard to tell there
had ever been freeze in this country. 1t
is thought by a great many that in a few
years oranges will not be worth one-half
as much as they are now, owing to the
great increase in the quantity that will
be shipped from the State; but this i'm
portant question will have to be con-
tradicted, as at the present time oranges
are worth more in the North than they
we're two years ago, consequently the
more there are shipped from Florida the
better price they will bring.

Editor Florida AgTiculturist:
The future prosperity OF Florida and
her people depends entirely on the future
products of the State. By this is not
meant the extent of the orange crop.
Oranges, and, in fact, no one crop will
give US that amount of prosperity which
we should have. No country dependant
upon one crop has ever prospered-

OBITUARY.

The inexorable decree that 1t is 3D. pointed unto man once to die, we learn with grief, has overtaken our old friend and former felIow-citizen, F. D. Daven- post. Mir. Davenport was a resident Of Forrest City for q long term of years. He camo from Mississippi to this state, and practiced his profession, the law, until the fall of 1889, when he re- turned to his native state. He died ir Iiollendale, of that state, on tho 9th day of the present month. He had large circle of warm friends hero, who deeply regret his death. He has three sons in this city, l.. E., married. J. D. and Robt., single. They arc honorable young men, most highly esteemed by all. They were unable to go to the funeral on account of the high waters. The human soul is so constituted that deep grief must result on the decease of those we love dearly. The certainty of death does not lessen the intensity Of the sorrow. In every other form of griel. to know there is no escape. and that 1t must be borne, at once, mollites and lessehs it's degree. Not SO with death; the tears of sorrow must flow when the spirit of a dear one departs the physical and enters the misty shadows of fnturity, beyond the ken and span of human intellect. At such times there is great consolation in the thought that if we live honorable lives we will rejoin the departed in the Land of the Leal and in the fact that we feel our friends and relatives are ever ready to extend condolence to us. and are in sympathetic rapport with us. Nr. Davenport leaves, besides three sons, two beautiful daughters. with whom we sympathize greatly, for the death of father is great bcrcaye- ment.
