of honest dealings at any rate. The sue
cess of this first trial would assure the
agent of a tremendous patronage the
next year, and perhaps it would be found
advisable to erect packing house at
at some central point where the fruit
would be accurately classed, carefully
packed and shipped to the best advan-
tage. There is some competition now
between transportation companies, but
as twenty, fifty one hundred thousand
and over boxes were handled as though
the product of an individual there would
certainly be hustling among the rail
roads. We believe this is simple plan
and we recommend it to the business
men among the shippers. The situation
is so serious that something must be
done. This is a day, when the weak
must combine or be over ridden. The
great industry Of our county which we
boast of SO proudly will be ruined unless
the grower can obtain for his produce
the price which is due him. If the Or

this matter with their best judgment,

Tobacco in Columbia County.

Several capitalists from New England,
Philadelphia, Georgia and Kentucky are
planting large crops of wrapper leaf near
Lake City, mainly OF the popular vicinity
known as "Mamearaugua" or "Moodies'
Hybrid to which the lands near Lake
City are peculiarly adapted. Nearly all
the planters of South Columbia have
also adopted this specially fine variety
suitable for mild filler as We'll as a wrap
per pronounced by experts superior in
appearance and value to any Havana
or Sumatra ever grown in the world"
Many large barns 1OOx36 feet, and Is
feet high are now in course of cOnstruc.
tion-several planters, by means of using
the New Bemis Transplan ter have finished
transplanting, and have worked their
entire crop over once. They have used
from 900 to 1900 pounds per acre of
special cigar-.eaf fertilizers and the pros
pect low is they will produce at least
1000 pounds per acre. 1t is "pennv
wise and pound foolish" to plant tobacco
on poor land. But it should be borne in
mind that ordinary commercial fertil-
lzers would ruin cigar tobacco, as the
burning quality, the texture, oma and
Uniform color would be affected thereby.

A Marketing Plan Suggested.

We are pleased to notice a growing
disposition among orange and vegetable
raisers to find some method to evade the
evils of the commission system The
dishonest methods practiced by many
merchants have been of so glaring a
character during the past season as to
undeceive any who retained faith in this
method. The practice Of trusting. the
livelihood of ones self and family to such
entirely unreliable parties is one which
would ruin the most fiOurishing country
in ShOft space of time. The present
method of shipping to great number of
men in great variety of places, &C cord
ing to their own reports of the several
markets, is as hazardous q practice as it
would be for every manain the State to
vote for who he pleased for governor, re-
CARELESS of party nominations. Unity is
strength, and the shippers of this county
lose every year thousands of dollars by
not effecting and organization of some
sort. A very simple trial of this plan
would show its results in the next sea-
son. A number of shippers might
choose a responsible agent and make ar
engagements to trust their entire crop to
his care. 1t would be his duty to de-
termine the reliable commission mer-
chants of each market, to receive daily
Geographic reports of the markets, to
inform his patrons when to ship and
when to hold their produce, to receive
the same at Tampa and personally over
see the packing of the car and their
shipment, and he would be amply able

reasonable prices their excellent pro-
ducts in spite of the distance of the mar
ket they have opened up. And thus
they have established themselves in a
way that will require some trouble for
us to succeed in competing with them.
That they will hold their own is to be
wished rather than otherwise, because
of the valuable example and lesson they
have given and the easy road they have
laid out and paved for us, for they have
discovered and proved the fact that the
most skillful housewife can supply her
table with the very best kinds of pre-
served fruits, put up in handsome jars,
at prices less than the jars themselves
would have cost few years ago. One
of these "effete aristocrats" has shown
his sad condition of decay by planting,
as a beginning, 800 acres of small fruits,
and putting up a factory on the most
improved plans for the sole purpose of
supplying tooth-some jams and jellies
and is not ashamed to own that he is
making a respectable income by his
enterprise although he is a lord.
The village garden is costly perfume
tory failure in nine cases out of ten.
Many owners of such gardens. like the
lamented philosopher, find their fruits
and vegetables cost prices that would be
called fabulous if they were paid in the
market for them. And they generally
come when the season for them is over,
and they are stale and Improbable. And
so their crops are usually grown in tin
cans, so to speak, and they put up with
this kind because they cannot get sup.
ply at their doors. All this, however,
helps the Gamers, who thus have the
world for their market, and they may
we'll say with Mr.. Pistol, "Why, then
the worlds mine oyster, which I'll pro-
coed to open!'
And this is hint for many a farmer
who is growing wheat that nobody wants
for 20 cents per bushel, or $8 an acre,
not even the speculator, who has learned
how to buy and sell millions of bushels
in an hour or less, and yet without a
grain in sight or hand, and he may turn
his farm into tomato patch and have
a canning factory and make his crops
pay him three prices. Thus an average
acre sold to Gamer will make clear pro-
fit of 800 to the grower and the Gamer
will make clear profit of 5000 of it, and
this thegrower may as well have as not.

Farm Manufacturing.


Profit is the chief end of man, so far
as industrial pursuits are concerned.
And profit is the certain recompense OF
labor that is we'll bestowed. Solomon
said call labor tendeth to profit" but it
is one of the sad experiences of our race
that much labor goes for nothing, or
in many cases less than nothing, Tor it's
illjudged application or conduct spoils
everything and makes all rules fail. But
the iudicious, industrious person, in what
ever work he or she may be engaged, will
do we'll to get in every case as close to
the consumer of his or her products as
possible, gathering profit from every
change that may be made in the con-
dition of the products until they are
fully prepared for consumption. AS
every hand through which commodities
may pass has portion OF the ultimate
value of them remaining in it, it is the
business of each individual to get as
much of the handling of what he pro-
duces as may be possible, and thus
the farmer will endeavor to be, as far
as he can, the Intermediary between
himself aud the consumer, and do away
with the services of the middleman in
whatever function he may be engaged.
All this applies to such intermediate
industries between the farmer and con-
sumner as the condensing of milk, the
canning of vegetables and fruits, the
preserving of small fruits, and all such
methods of saving intermediate expenses
and costly freights on bulky raw ma
terials, and as we'll putting perishable
products in permanently safe condition
for sale at any future time, without
crowding them on market that may
be oversupplied and making necessary
a loss in the sale of them.
This opportunity of making profits,
curiously enough, has been seized upon
first, and to the largest extent, by per-
sons who have been supposed by some
envious people to represent an effete
and decaying class for whom nobody
has any particular use, viz, the British
aristocracy, some of whose members
have shown themselves to be very much
alive and more enterprising than the
most boastful Yankee. For they have
"gone in" for growing fruits and pre-
serving them extensively and very pro-
fitably upon their land, which no farmer
could be found to risk the cultivation
of in the depressed condition of agri-
culture so much complained OF. They
have organized great dairy enterprises
and present the best of milk, cheese,
and butter to the most exacting class of
consumers with exemplary success and
profit.
And more than this, they have in
vaded our own, sacred precincts, and
offer for sale in American stores at most

a horrible Death.

For some time past Geo. Huston,
Il Greenwood farmer, has been suffer
ing from insanity. On one or two
occasions he has nearly killed men,
bers of the family. On Saturday
Judge Black gave an order for his con-
tinement in the Eastern Michigan
asylum at Pontiac. A fifth ward con-
stable was sent to Greenwood to bring
in the man. In some manner Huston
had learned that the officer was COM
ing. All the afternoon he had acted
very strangely and closely scrutinized
every person who passed the house.
At times he was very violent and told
the people in the house that no one
would ever take him to an asylum, as
he knew trick whereby he could out
wit the officers. 1t was late in the
afternoon when the constable reached
the house. Huston saw him coming
and took a position at "a stairway which
led to the upper part of the house.
The officer tried to reason with the
man, but he could not get anywhere
near him. Finally he made dash for
Huston, when the latter ran up stairs.
The officer and others followed. The
crazy man was holding to his lips a
bottle and was drinking the contents.
In an instant he commenced to scream
and carry on at great rate. The Off
GERS threw him to the floor and were
binoing him. 1t could be seen he was
suffering great agony. His screams
could be heard for long distance.
Ten minutes later he died in the pres
ence of his family while the men were
binding him.
A physician was called, when it was
found that Huston had swallowed car
bolic acid.
