OF distinct value to any young man, or
any young woman either, for the matter
of that. Not only will such schooling
make better hOrticultursts, but it will
enable a great many more young people
to pay some attention to the scientific
basis of the art OF horticulture. What is
most needed for a higher horticulture,
and an improved agriculture as well, is a
body Of men devoting themselves to orig
inal investigation; and while these short
courses will never equip men for such high
service, they will help to enlarge the class
from which such experts must be drawn.
1t is an impossible state of things to
have a few trained and finished hOrticult-
urists in the country, while the general
average is extremely low. Men Of the
first rank in science and practice are not
developed out of such conditions. There
must be a constant graduation from the
lowest to the highest, so that the more
persons there are who have some train.
ing, who realize it's value and are ambi-
tlOus for more, the more there will be to
rise from this class by natural selection
to the highest rank of skilled scientists.
The broader the base OF the pyramid the
more lofty will be it's Apex. While these
courses, therefore. are beneficial directly
in the instruction which they give. they
render a higher service by increasing the
material from which the very best are
drawn. The grea ter the number of good
practical men we have in our farms and
gardens, who are also keen observers and
eager learners, the more there will be to
rise to broader attachments in knowledge
and superior skill in practice, and the
more certain will be the supply OF scien
tific students, experimenters and explor-
ers OF the first rank, upon whose patient
work the hope Of our agriculture and
horticulture must ultimately rest.-Gar-
den and Forest.

RusSet Oranges.

Up to within year or two there has
been a dislike among purchasers of or
anges to buy the fruit that has bronzed
and rusty appearance. Such oranges
are known to the trade as '1ussets, and
they have always sold for less than the
fruit that has bright and golden skin.
But change has come about. Dealers
in the fruit do not know how to account
for the calls for the russell oranges that
are made. If they should g to Flor
ida it would all be very plain to them.
The calls come from people who have
been there and who have come back
with theory about oranges.
When the owner of grove goes to
his trees to get fruit tor his own use, he
always selects that which shows the
russell on the skin. Ask why he does it
sweetest and best, and that he eats them
look so we'll on his table. Then he goes
on to tell you that the russell orange is
not, as it appears, an orange about

peculiar color, he says, due to the fact
that the rind has been punctured by the
gnats in search of meal, aud that these
flies are very, very shrewd, and will
touch no fruit but the very best and
the very sweetest. 1.-THE flies know
which are the sweetest oranges" he
says in convincing fashion. land if
they have taken the trouble to pick
out he ripest and best Of the fruit, why
should I not take advantage of their in

Wanted, a Cannery.

South IN the Importance OF providing
more diversified industries for the en-
ployment of the laboring classes. Evi-
IDENTIFY that is the only way to promote
the growth of a town that has not some
great natural advantage in it's favor like
that Of seaport or mining center. 1t
will not do for q town to wait for a syn
dictate to come along and select it for the
seat of great cotton mill. In the ordi-
nary course of events town will grow
no faster than to meet the demands Of
local trade, unless there spring up within
it industries that will give support to an
increased population, which cOnduces i'll
turn to the growth of every established
trade.
No small industry is attracting more
attention than the canning ofvegetables,
fruits and the products of TIE fisheries.
1t is one especially calculated topromote
the increase ofsuburban population. The
growing OF vegetables for market is an
attractive industry, but the profitable
ness of it is governed so much by circum-
stances that fewer engage in it than
would do so if they could feel assured of
an adequate return for their labor.
Especially is this the case with a city like
Jacksonville. During the season when
there's almost unlimited demand forveg-
etables, the growing of them is very pre-
carious. And after the gardeners have
ceased to fear the blighting effect of frost,
pretty soon the demand falls off SO that
it hardly pays them to haul their truck
to market.
The remedy for this is to have Gamer
les in the suburbs. 1t is not prudent to
establish them on the basis of cigar fac
tory, since the supply OF raw material is
precarious. 1t must beobtained from the
immediate neighborhood, and there needs
to be an abundant and cheap supply if
there is to be any profit on the canned
goods. The truck growers need an in
centive for planting large crops. For this
purpose it is found to be the best plan to
have them take stock in the canning en-
terprise. Experience in this business
proves that it is the best policy to make
those to whom a factory must look for
their supply of material directly inter
ested in it's success by inducing them to
become stockholders. 1t is best to put
the shares down to $25, or even $40. AS
soon as person has money invested in
an enterprise he feels a personal interest
in making it a success.
With cannery at hand the growers of
Strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, ETC.,
would feel emboldened to plant larger
acreage than they do now. When the
profitable local demand ceases, and when
the Northern markets become glutted
they could sell to the cannery, which
would also consume inferior grades of
their product at any time.
In carrying out the Industrial develop
ment enterprise that is on foot here the
canning business is one that should be
held in view. 1t would afford employment
to many working members Of families
who might not find positions suited to
them in other factories, and it would en-
able the families of employees in factories
a means of adding to their income by
growing vegetables, etc., for the canning
