Supremacy preposterous, utterly and
glaringly foolish and unreasonably abb
surd is the statement that the fruit grow
ers have concluded not to have their
meeting on May because the State Hor-
ticultural society will be in session. A
fruit grower is horticulturist, and why
in the name Of common sense does he
want to get up little sideshow and
open up at Orlando. Why didn't they
come to Ormond and show under the
''big canvass9" If it be necessary let the
state society hold a summer and winter
meeting, and then the fruit-growers, all
of them, can have q chance to come under
one banner. Too many oh-shoots at
present.

About the first thing Florida farmer
ought to know and thoroughly understand
ID the character, kind and quality of tools
and material he ID to work with, then he
ought to know eli about the soil he intends

cultivation. He should study the character

The only objection to our summers, as
all sensible and conservative people will
admit, is their length. and this objection
can't be remedied or mitigated. Fruit
Grower.
If you lived up here 10 Middle Florida
certainly you could not object to the
summer business Here it is, late in
June. and we have had scarcely day so
far that would in former years be called
summer. In fact. we have had genuine
old fashioned northern spring, commen-
cling in March and lasting to present
writing; how much longer we know not.
but safe to say until they quit manufac-
turing northern up at Winnipeg. Fell
ing the forests north of us has made
matters - they now stand, and the build
ing of mammoth hotels in this portion OF
the state to house sick Yankees has
4tgone glimmering.'

Plant a great big provision crop; you
are not half through yet, lots of time

question of doubt that next fall you
will have an abundance of home supplies
both for man and beast. Make the old

things for your table. Fill up all the out.

proper channel, thereby making leaf Of
far better quality.
We have yet to hear Of grower who
in any way, shape or form injured bis
crop by low topping, therefore We say
away with all high topping. High top
ping causes the upper leaves to grow as a
matter of course, but at the Same time
the lower ones are prematurely decaying,
so the grower is actually and really saving
at the spigot and losing at the bung.
High topping causes lot of diminutive
top leaves to be hauled to the BARN that
are always too unripe to ever cure prop
erly, and when stripping time comes
they are sickly looking affairs and gen

Bring every leaf up nearly to the same
size, color and form and uniform degree
of perfection. This can only be done by
low or medium topping.
II our readers could tell us just what

We read much in the papers these days
about two classes of people living on
American soil, one creating wealth by the
billions by his brains. the other laboring
each day for mere pittance. There is a
conflict between these two classes of peo-
pie. We are with the latter first last and
all the time because we most seriously OBJ
ject to these biilionaires using this money
to absorb the productions of the other
class There is nothing equal about this
manner of doing business. The former
piles up his i'll gotten gains at the expense
OF the later and then has the state and
government but the latter TO help him

During the sitting OF the republican
convention we were walking through the
capitol yard, behind two gemmen ob

been resident at the state capital aud

We know a farmer who for the past
two years, has tried hard TT get out of
the old cotton rut that has SO long en-
quilted him. To-day he is out, joined the
mixed crop army, been cbinked, filed
down, rounded off and sand papered, and
is ready to make oath that lie will have a
bigger tobacco barn than he ever before
aimed, that his cora crib and smoke
house each will have to be enlarged.

From the Southern Cultivator.
Manure 10 agriculture Is money.
Scrub seed produce scrub crops.
No man IL too old TO plant q tree.
Soft feed for growth; hard feed for fat.
Deep ploughing means twelve inches.
If your soil is not rich, make it rich.
Heavy manuring means a coat three
inches thick.
Good seed means about ten times as
good as is generally used.
The best tiller of the soil is the best
farmer, other things being the same.
The better the feed the better the
product.
Make garden of your farm as far as
possible.
Our soil grows poor as our streams
become fertiliZed.
1t does not pay to put good feed into
poor stock.
A family without garden deserves pub
lie commiSeratiOn.
Every farmer should be a professor of
agriculture.
II never Injuries an orchard to manure it
that gets the most Of the labor expended
on it.
Aim to grow such things as yon need, or
can make use OF on the farm.
The seed as well as the soil determines
the quality and yield of the crop.
Prof. Henry says that farmers, through
failure to test their cows and weed out the
nOn-payers, are losing more money than
all the railroads and trusts are taking from
them.
The history of the past has demonstrated
that if we continue to grow cotton we will
be poor; if we undertake, upon the other
lines we will succeed. What do you say
for 1892
Fall ploughing tends materially TO the
destruction of insects and Larvae For this
purpose alone it will pay to keep the pillow
going as long as possible.
There is the most profit in feeding the
animal while it is growing. Keep feeding
and keep the animal growing until it goes
to market.
Give the COW something to come home
for, and she will be there every time.
Pulverization of the soil is one Oft
open secrets OF successful farming.
Get The manure we'll mixed with the soil
If you want the best results from it.
The best way to settle the question of
the farmers future is to return. in great
measure, to the ways OF grandtathers-to
make the farm home self-supplying, and
thereby self-supporting; to raise our meat
and breat at home; also our fruit, butter
and eggs.
Leaky stable roofs make sick horses.
Every farmers family Can afford fat
| sheep once in q while.
Put your manure where it will do the
| most good.
1t Is waste to keep and feed an animal
already fat
Don't keep hay before your animals ex-
cept at meal time.
| AS a general thing, the labor upon the
farm is in NO sense trustworthy, and it is
tickle and unstable.
