The Devil in Hell we are told was
chained,
And thousand years he thus remained.
he did not murmur, he did not groan,
But determined to have a hell of his
own,
Where he could torment the souls of
men
Without being chained in prison den.
So he asked the Lord il he had on hand
Anything left when he made this land
The Lord said; "Yes, had plenty on
hand,
But left it down on the Rio Grande.
The fact is, Old Boy, the stuff is so poor
We couldn't use it in He'll any more"
The Devil won't down to look at the
truck,
Said if he took it as gift no was stuck;
And after examining it careful and we'll,
He decided the place was too dty for
hell. 4
SO in order to get the stuff off his
hands,
The Lord promised the Devil to water
the lands,
For he had some water that WAS of no
use,
A regular cathartic that smelled like
the deuce.
The bargain was closed and the deed
was given,
And the Lord went back to his home in
Heaven.
And the Devil said, "now have all that
I need
To make good hell and hence to
succeed"
So he placed the thorns all over the
trees,
And he mixed the sand with million
heas.
He scattered tarantulas on every road,
Put thorns on cactus and horns on the
toad.
The rattlesnake bites you, the scorpion
stings,
The mosquito delights you with buzz
ing wings.
The sandburs prevail and so do the
ants,
And those who sit need soles on their
pants.
The heat in summer is two hundred and
ten,
Teo hot for himself, too hot for his
men.
The wild boar roams through the
chaparral,
It's hell of place he's got for his
He'll.

He Failed with Alfalfa.
DcLand, Fla.

I have Iced lately a number OF ref
erences to alfalfa, and while would not
wish to discourage any one from trying
it, it is well enough to say that some
years since many trials were made with
no success. | obtained a pound Of seed
and planted in winter and again III
spring, fertilizing as for any garden crop.
The winter planting grew well for a
time but before any of it attained six
inches in height it died. About that
time the great scotsman, Peter Hender-
son, especially urged alfalfa for Florida
planters and as [ said many trials were
made.
Some will succeed while 9th ers fail ;
lands are so varied, seasons and methods
differ so it is quite possible the plant
may grow here. | would like to try
some again and will if have time.
Perhaps planting eallier, say in Sep
tember would result better. / suppose
most of us have found the unwisdom of
deciding for certain regarding such mat
ters. One ear | had quite patch of
onions that looked well-so did the alfalfa
until thew were Of some size, but they
began to die and would die and all died.
have good reasons for believing that
onions grow here, and there is at least a
possibility that with different conditions
and possibly better planting season,
alfalfa will also. ID. r. PILsBRY.

Cow Peas and Root Knot.

Editor Florida AgricuIturist:
| have always been in favor of COW
peas plowed under green az means
of adding humus to the soil, but the
articles OF Mr.. Mott and others to the
effect that COW peas foster Aguillula,
an insect injurious to the orange has
deferred me so far this year. What can
you recommend in place of COW peas
And if cow peas are sown for hay on q
piece of bottom land unoccupied by
orange trees, will agnilula therefrom
affect adjacent groves? 6.
Glenwood Fla.
Beggar weed will furnish you fodder
and is a great renOvater of the soil
The COW pea not only helps the aguillula
but it furnishes a feeding place for
myrids of sap sucktrg insects which re-
SOL to the orange tree when the vines
begin to ripen or are cut. The aguilIulia
will not spread unless it has something
to spread on.

ment by means of irrigation, worth
nearly four times what it cost.
The expenditure for water in the
arid regions has been comparative
ly small. 1t appears from the
statistics given that the total ex-
pense for water, including the
maintenance and repairs of bitches
in the arid States in 1880 was only
1874, 900, while the total value
of products amounted to $53,o57,
600. t. 4
Statistics regarding the use of
artesian wells for irrigation pur-
poses in the arid and sub-humid
regions of the West have already
been given. 1t may be recalled
that the artesian wells for this
purpose in the census year num-
bered 5000. The average depth
per we'll was 2IO.4I feet, the total
discharge per minute was 44o,7I0.-
II gallons, or 54.43 gallons per
minute per we'll. The average
cost per we'll was $245. So; the av-
erage area irrigated per we'll was
1927 acres and the average cost
of water per acre irrigated was
1855. A comparison of the last
mentioned amount with that given
above as to the cost of irrigation
by the ordinary means, viz. So. 5
per acre, would seem to indicate
that the average cost of water per
acre by ordinary means of irriga-
ton is less than half the cost of ir-
rigation by means of artesian we'll .
