Rambling Notes by a Rambling
Thinker.
Some people manipulate Florida sand
as they would Georgia clay-thats I'M
scientific
1t is a big thing to feed flock of
chickens, Scattering the feed so that
ali can get some is one part Of it. Feed
ing for eggs and for fat and feathers are
different things.
We fatten horse on corn, but feed
oats for muscle. Grass and beggar weed
will make fat while oats will harden it
up.-so to speak.

We feed orange trees according to the
land on which they grow, Too much
phosphate will sicken tree, SO will too
much nitrogen, but it is hard to ''put
your finger on" potash. Iuse it just on
general principles, and doubt if it is in
superabupdance in any Of our land. A
simple analysis to determine the pres
ence of potash can be made by burning
the pine burs and tasting the ashes. If
strong, the land is rich in potash, if not
clearly traceable the land is poor in
potash. Phosphate matter is the fructi-
flying element, but remember that nitro
gen is the "master spirit move
on you" The potash answers to the
idea of polish or vaTnish-giving the
Finishing touch to wood and fruit"

"Fool for luck" "money and brains
don't always go together" this may be
said to be a household expression. Let
us think about it. "Money makes mon
ey," labor alone can create values.
Money has no value of itself, in the alb
stract it is conventional measure of
values. How then can it make values?
Old superstitions have been abandoned
after many years, or ages, of ignorance.
For ages the earth was thought to be
flat hut after while it was proved to be
round which was just the opposite of
fiat. So the sun was supposed to revolve
around the earth whereas it is just the
other way. So the money ideas now
prevailing want to be reversed, turned
end for end.

Two New Pears.

A short time ago wrote an article for
the AGRICULTURIsT in reply to an inquiry
by one of your readers concerning my
pears. have five varieties of them
noW-one and two year old buds and
gratis. My first paintings have been out
eight years and this is the fifth crop
from these trees, which are beauties, up
right growers and bear abundant crops
every year. Frequently these trees come
into bearing the second year of planting.
The meat of the fruit is very rich and
juicy, the best for canning I have ever
seen. For sweet pickles, pies and COM
mon sauce they are in my opinion the
fruit for Florida. [ have as yet but few
trees out in my grove, yet will have
some forty or fifty bushels this year.
These pears sell readily for two dollars
per bushel right here.
Some of the pears I grow are fine to
eat in their natural condition, but most
OF them are for cooking or canning pur-
poses. [ will send you by express box
of my best pear for canning only. It
commences to bear very early, often
first or second year, and bears fine crops
every year thereafter. This variety
call the Cincincis. They will keep from
four TO six weeks after they are gathered
about the last of August or first of Sep
TENDER, according to the season.
The top layer of pears in the box I
send you are the DeWy Premium, and
the bottom layer, as before said, is the
Cincincis. S. F. SMITH. =
Fruitland Park, Fla.
THE box of pears above referred to was
duly received. The variety marked
Dewy's Queen were of medium size and
dark color but cooked we'll. The bot
tom layer marked Cincipcis were much
better in appearance having bright yell
low color smooth and of good size.
While not very good eating pear we
found them excellent cooked in the vari-
Gus ways that we tried them. If the
trees are heavy and regular bearers they
are certainly desirable varieties for plant

A BeautiruI Children's Party.

The prettiest and most delightful
rhildren's party gwen in st. Paul in
years was that Of Saturday of last week,
in which the children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Frederick a. Fogg bade farewell to
their friends and playmates prior to
their departure to California, which
will be Tuesday next. The invitation
list was 50 large and so generally ac-
cepted that the party was given in
WeStmorelaud hall instead of the resi-
dence on Lafayette park, and there
Miss Carrie and Master Fred re-
ceived their little friends. The
hall was beautifully and tastefully
decorated for the OCCASION, the
flags, flowers and greenery combining
in charming and harmonious whole.
Draperies of pendent evergreen shut
off the corners, forming cosy little bow
ers, in which ices and sweets were
served in the intervals of the dancing
with which the afternoons pleasures
were inaugurated. SeVenty-SiX joyous
little ones were present, and 1t was the
comment of more than one of the
ecerones that never had so many beau
tifully ana artlstically dressed children
assembled for social event in the city.
Certainly was dancing never more
gracefully executed, the music being
admirable and the little fairy guests eX-
perts.
An elaborate supper was served In
The adjoining room, where the skill OF
the caterer was admirably displayed in
wonderfully arranged table and a
menu in keeping Herewith. A unique
souvenir was given each little guest
upon entering, and with it was bon
bon case containing a fanciful cap or
apron. which. being donned, added to
the unlQueness of the ensemble. The
service was perfect and the feast eX-
eellent, and the children bore away with
them pleasurable impressions Of very
memorable party.
