GOOD PROSPECTS AHEAD.

Although the financial outlook is not
the most hopeful, the orange growers
can yet console themselves with the re-
Election that that there are some points
in their favor in reference to good prices
the coming season. The August report
Of the United States Statistician, pub
lshed by authority of the Secretary Of
Agriculture gives very bad report of the
condition Of fruit crops in other sections
of the country, especially is this true in
reference to apples, the great competitor
of our fruit. Observation of past years
have conclusively demonstrated that
when apples are short oranges invariably
bring good price, Notwithstanding the
size of the latter crop. This being true
Florida orange growers should certainly
realize top prices for their fruit this
apple crop will be shorter than for many
years past From the report above re-
ferred to we make the following digest:
Massachusetts: Apples are very poor.
Connecticut: In the southern part of the
State apple trees are affected by aphis,
and the crops are suffering both in yield
and quality. New York: Apples are
dropping badly, peaches also. New
Jersey: Apples are dropping freely.
Pennsylvania: The apple crop has suf-
fered reduction in condition since July
LIST. South Carolina: Apples and peaches
are not promising. Alabama: The fruit
in many sections is almost an utter fail
ure, apples are blighted and peaches
small and wormy, and they rot and drop
badly. mississippi: Apples, peaches
and grapes are rather inferior. Arkan
sas: The apple crop in the apple belt
proper is almost failure, the fruit hav-
ing nearly all dropped. Tennessee: APP
pies, peaches and grapes show a falling
off in condition since July LIST. West
Virginia: The apple and peach crop is
very light. Indiana: Apples are drop
ping constantly, and those still remain
ing on the trees are of very poor quality
Peaches will be less than half a crop of
inferior quality. Illinois: The apple
crop is substantially failure. Wiscon-
sim Fruit is substantially failure. Iowa.
Apples will not make more than half a
crop. Kansas: The peaches are reduced
in condition since July LIST. The fruit
is wormy and rotting badly. Nebraska
Apples are still deterioratiug by reason
Of unusual insect attacks. Colorado
Apples are cOnsiderded almost failure.

HOMEGROWN HAY.

Now with the CLASH ana CHATTER OF tall-
ing banks in his ears, the prOvident
farmer, orange grower or gardener is
making his first, his second, or perhaps
even his third crop of hay this summer.
He knows, wise man, that every pound
of hay cured and stored is pound, or at
least we will say in fear of the carping
pessimists, several ounces less to be
bought from the North and paid for
with the hard coin which is so scarce in
the present condition of stringencies
The lesson of producing our own neces-
stiles has been dinned into the ears OF
the public with incessant vigor for many
years past, but will always bear repeti-
ton. At what time could the advant-
ages of living within ourselves become
more apparent than when currency is so
scarce and hard to get, and yet the
breaking of every bank in the country
cannot make us starve as long as we feed
ourselves, and our stock directly off the
farm.
Florida of home grown hay and the
Northern article a great deal depends
upon how the hay is made, and we can
not help thinking that good deal of the
vi:linca'ion Of the Florida product comes
from those whose own fault it is that
their success in saving hay is negative
quality. A farmer, so called, may cut
his hay, be it crab grass or cow pea vines,
either immature or over ripe. In the
one case it is failure. In the other it
will naturally not compare with properly
cured Northern hay in nutritive proper
ties. A farmer, rightly so called, knows
to day when hay is ripe to cut, hence
success. 1t must not be forgotten that
the great agricultural class in this State
are fully one-half if not more, the
butcher, the baker, and the candle-stick-
maker of Northern States whose farming
is tentative, crude and experimental,
pursuit taken up late in life by stress OF
circumstances, and so let us accept with
q grain of salt the utterances of those
disappointed novices who assure us that
there is little nutriment in crab grass
hay or that the COW pea cannot be cured
without dropping it's leaves. This sea-
son which has been favorable for the
making of hay we have seen cut, cured
and stored two separate cutting OF
COW pea hay, and it now lies in the
barn as fragrant as the finest timothy,
and with hardly a leaf lost from the
stem, while the stock which have lived
and worked on it without the addition of
a pound of Northern hay for over two
months are in as good condition as could
be desired.
In a very short time now there will be
heavy crop of crab grass and beggar
weed to be cut and cured, and where
could more nutritious or finer hay
crop be found than this combination?
Even the present financial crisis would
prove blessing to Florida at large if it
would but bring home to the people the
importance of that fundamental princi

the visible growth that is checked. Dur
ing the period no application OF fertilizer,
however abundant, however stimulating,
could start the plant into outward
growth. Not only must conditions be
favorable, but the organism having
once entered into a state of rest will
most assuredly take it's full allowance
before beginning again it's active sea-
sons growth.
We are not arguing, be it understood
that there is no time at which an ap-
plication of fertilizer could be harmful
to "a tree by stimulating growth, nor on
the other hand that suitable conditions
of temperature and moisture coming out
of due season will not conduce to an
earlier and untimely growth. Notwith-
standing the fact that the trees may
have been properly dormant tree will
resist any persuasion to start from an
application of fertilizer, and on the sec
ond, that given one Of those occasional
unfortunate seasons when an open win
ter and continual warm, moist weather
do bring on a premature growth, the
grove which has been duly fertilized
in November or December will be no
more likely to suffer from the late frosts
than that one whose owner has abstained
upon these very grounds.
Nay more, we will even go further,
apply to your grove in November a fer
tilizer rich in potash and before many
weeks have passed, the roots, ever active,
though the tree be dormant, will have
gathered up and stored in the tissues a
large percentage of the most readily SOL
uble potash, and we believe there is no
difference Of opinion among agricultural
chemists upon the question that it is pot
ash which makes a firm, substantial,
woody growth, the best able to resist
extremes of temperature.
Any one who has had any cOnsidera-
BILE experience in hot house manage
ment knows how improperly the
term "forcing'' is used in speaking Of
the production of fruits or flowers out of
due season by artificial conditions or en-
vironment. By placing plants in the
proper atmosphere with every condition
suitable it is, of course, easy to produce
both fruit and flower, at q season when
the plants, if left to nature would be
either quiescent or frozen to death-but
to hasten by so much as one day the ma
turing period of fruit or flower is beyond
the power of horticulturists as any we'll
informed gardener will tell you. That
maturity may be retarded by unsuitable
conditions is quite another matter, and
it is really by the removal or correction
of these that the horticulturist produces
unseaonable fruits or flowers in his hot
house. A fruit needs exactly so many
DAYS to mature from the time of setting,
and whileit may be retarded by adverse
conditions nothing can hasten it, and on
such general laws does nature do all
work. Give your grove hearty
meal in the fall and we venture to say it
will have no effect whatever on the time
at which the growth begins. You may
Iretard the growth by starving but you
Icannot hasten it by any feeding. That
FERTILIZER appliedin the fall may be In

A New Certain Cure for Piles.

We do not intend to indorse any ex-
cept articles of genuine merit; we
therefore take pleasure in recommend
ing to sufferers from piles in any form
prompt and permanent cure. The fol-
lowing letters speak for themselves:
Mrs. Mary G. Tyler, of Heppner, Or,
writes: One package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely cured me of piles, from
which have suffered for years. and L
have never had the slightest return of
them since.
Mr.. E. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs, Neb..
says: The package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely removed every trace of
itching piles. l cannot thank you
enough for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is new, GER
