Charleston, Aug. 16.-Judge Jas. F.
Izlar, of the state circuit court, has filed
a decision in the Mount Pleasant dispen-
sary case. Some time ago a number of
attorneys appeared before him and pre-
scented petition to close the dispensary,
on the ground that the dispensary law is
unconstitutional, and also alleging GER
tain irregularities in the manner in
which w. M. Williams dispenser at
Mount Pleasant, was appointed.
DIsMIssEs THE PETITION.
The decision dissolves the temporary
Injunction which had been granted, and
dismisses the petition on the ground that
the petitioners did not show that they
would be injured by tbs operation of the
dispensary law, and, therefore, had no
reasons for asking a court of equity for
preventive relief

EXTORTION.

There is a bill before the legislature at
Tallahassee amending the fertilizer law,
which if it passes as framed when we
saw it, will take thousands Of dollars out
of the pockets Of the orange growers and
vegetable raiSers Of Florida. 1t is not
enough that the orange grower and truck
er has to contend against drouth, frosts,
insects and dishonest commission men,
but now the law makers at Tallahassee
want to make them pay tax of so cents
for every ton of fertilizer used in the
State There is no State in the Union
which imposes such an eXorbitant tax, all
of which must come out of the grower.
During the last two years tax has been
paid on over $4,000 tons of fertilizer

same wages and the same treatment is but
little more desirable as labOrer than
the negro.
1t must be evident to all that we must
draw stock of intelligent white labor
crs from Europe. There we will find
expert laborers skilled in the class of
work we require, who are not imbued
with the race 'prejuices' of the white
American, and to whom the wages paid
the negro or common lObOrer would
seem almost princely as compared to the
pittance he receives at home.
1t is not so much the price of labor
that the fruit growers and gardeners Of
South Florida object us to its quality
Florida as State has made practically
no effort to secure immigration of the
kind most needed, and such failure has
cost, and is costing the soil tillers thous-
ands of dollars annually With more eff
cicnt labor their farms, gardens and
groves could be made more productive
and profitable, and money spent by the
State in securing immigrants of this
class would be well invested and sure to
rebound to the interest Of the people of
Florida.

SAVING STABLE MANURE.

We have often preached the doctrine
that either concentrated fertilizers on
the one hand, or cOmposts and stable
manure on the other, are incomplete,
and insufficient for successful agricult-
ure, if used alone; that the former with
out the latter are too eXhauSting and
transitOry in their effects, and the lat
terwithOut the former too slow in action
and too bulky in use for the conditions of
nineteenth century cOmpetitiOn;in short,
that each must be complementary to the
other. If it be allowed that stable man
ure and good compost are needed, it be-
comes worth while to remind ourselves
occasionally, and to enquire what does
chemistry teach us to the preservation
OF animal manures, their preparation
and application to the soil. Together
with the theoretical side Of the subject,
must be considered the pratical point, to
what extent will it pay to follow the
course indicated by theory when we have
to reckon with the price of labor which
prevails in this country. In Europe,
where labor is plentiful, efficient and
cheap, no question is raised as to the
economy of n Thorough handling and pre-
paration of stable manures, which are
used, not only on the farms where they
are produced, but collected to the farms
from the cities and country. They are
supplemented Of course by concentrated
fertilizers, but not nearly tOthe same eX-
tent as is necessary in this country.
1t would be impossible to utilize so
thoroughly the natural manures in this
country. but the farmer who neglects to
use on his own homestead the manures
produced there and all the refuse of the
farm, is not worthy of the name of far
mer.
Probably the most important matter in
connection with the saving Ofstable man
ure is the material used for bedding.
Here, where we have as rule no floors
to our barns we have to depend in great
measure on the bedding as an absorbent
of such Of the liquid portion OF the man
urc as we save. I'm Europe generally the
stalls in every stable are fioored with a
special hard brick, with beveled edges
and cross groove in the center OF every
brick. This makes perfect drainage, the
slope being always toward the manure
pit. SO that there is no waste. Here we
must depend on sand or the bedding ma
terial.
The following figures taken from the
experiments of German agricultural
chemist show how widely various mat
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-05-24

The truckers in the vegetable sections
of the State having but little to say this sea-
son--the fact is they are too busy to talk, but
from all reports they are not doing great
amount of kicking. After the usual hardships OF
the spring reports are to the effect that
they have had a very prosperous time of it, And
they deserve it too il any class of people earth
do. They hard workers, they never let up
or give up and if Dame Fortune does not smile
on them she does an injustice.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-05-24

erials may differ in their absOrptive
power.
Rye straw absorbed 5000 lbs of man
ure liquor per 900 lbs Of it's own weight;
Leaf rakings absorbed 1880 lbs per 1000;
peat absorbed A. 1873 lbs per |, 900; fir and
spruce pine twigs, including the pine
straw, absorbed only $50 and 351 los per
200 respectively. Peat was found to fix
some Of the constituents chemically.
We have very efficient bedding ma
tcrial at Ourd doors in the wire grass 1t
is infinitely superior to pine straw, in fact
the latter is not by any means good COM
post ingredient, and is also q very poor
absorbent. The wire grass is an excel
lent absorbent, rots quickly, and is as
cheap as any material we can use. A
man can cut enough in day to bed three
or four animals for a month. 1t takes
five minutes in The morning to clean out
and perhaps u couple of minutes in the
evening to spread the bedding. We can
quote no figures on its abSOrptive ca
pacity, but from experience should judge
it would absorb fully as much as any
straw The use of this bedding, and an
occasional turning out Of the top layer
of the sand from the stall on to the man
add stable manure
ure heap will give us the finest kind of
material for our compost.
The question of handling it is the next
point. 1t should be protected from sun
and from excessive rains, and the place
on which it stands should of course be
water tight. This is easy to secure by
putting down three or four inches of clay
and pounding it well. If this place is
divided into two pens, into one OF which
the manure is thrown, till full, and then
forlled over into the empty one, by the
time the first pen is full Il second time,
the contents of the second will be a short
black compost, ready to be hauled out
on to the land.
This plan is followed on many farms,
and it is probably about as far as it pays
to 90 in the handling of stable manure
and compost. We do not think it will
ever pay to add commercial manures to
compost heaps 1t is cheaper to apply
them direct to the soil, and entails less
waste.
But the proof of the pudding is in the
eating, and we think no one who inteli-
gently examines both the trees or plants,
and the soil where compost of stable man
ure, made in the simple manner above
mentioned, is used in conjunction with
concentrated fertilizers, and then com
pares them with those where the latter
is used alone will be able to doubt the
superiority Of the former method 1t is
a cheap and easy way to handle both the
manure, and all the refuse about the
farm, promotes the health Of the stock,
and builds up the soil into mechanical
condition which enables the concentrated
fertilizers to get in their best work, and
promotes the vigor of all vegetation in a
surprising degree.
