DeLand, Fla.

This month is a busy one of harvesting and
shipping such truck crops as are ready to har-
vest. The cold and unfavorable weather this
winter has retarded the growth of nearly all the
vegetable crops and the possible marketing two
to four weeks later than usual. Cabbages have
been going into market since the middle of
March and Notwithstanding the prospect was
favorable for good prices the farmers have been
badly disappointed. Cabbage that was to all
appearance good arrived in market in bad
order. The continued cold weather and frosty
nights affected the hearts of the plants and
caused them to rot or turn dark and such cab
bages generally arrived in market in bad order.
The cold also affected the beans and tomatoes,
and the results that the farmers will come
out great losers in this years crop.
There are now hundreds of acres of tomatoes
in this section. and many are now ready to begin
harvesting. But the dry hot weather for the
past three weeks has caused the worms to work
into the fruit, and nearly half of the tomatoes
gathered are worthless and have to be thrown
away. Probably out of those sent to market
half will arrive in bad condition. However, late

rigating system.
1 On such soil better plan would be to wait for
the rainy season for planting Outsweet potatoes,
tomatoes. melons, ETC., well as cow peas
Keep the tomato plants, okra, ETC., hoed and
cultivated. Horse culture is better than hand
culture for the growth of trees and vegetables so
cultivate often.
Don't disturb melon and squash vines. Let
them anchor themselves as soon as they can.
II you have few barrels of Irish potatoes to
spare you can find good market at home for
them. Store them in dark, cool place. not in

rel II you must ship them put them in good
new -four barrels, and after shaking them down
fill the barrel rounding full and put head in place
and put barrel under a bench-screW fixed for the
purpose. This plan has given perfect satisfac-
tion. Classify them and mark the grades, such
as prime and medium" Send none smaller
than full-sized hen egg. Ventilate the barrel
by cutting out half inch slit six inches long on
four sides of the barrel.
Clean and level ground that has been used for
vegetables, for q hay crop or for sweet potatoes.
II ORCHARDS.
We have good prospect for peaches of all
kinds, early and late. Peentos will be ripe the
last of the month.
1t requires experience to gather and pack
peaches for shipment to distant markets, there
fore if you decide to ship, consult some good au-
thority on the subject of preparing for market.
You might experiment. in determining the stage
at which they should be picked. Ifyou are offered
81 per bushel on the tree let the buyer take the
risks and profits.
THE VINEYARD.
The same culture that will conserve the moist
ure in the grove applies equally we'll to the vine
yard, and so harrow often while dry, both for
vine growth and perfection of fruit. Vines lately
planted should have half of q bucket of water
once every two weeks.
Train and tie up one-year-old vines to the top
of four foot stakes, or to trelis. Develop the
buds that near the ground older vines
and spread them wires. This can be done by
pinching back the more rampant growth
Where fruit is set on two or three year old vines
pinch off the growth four leaves from the fruit,
thus leaving the fruit the growth. Develop all
the foliage for shade tt at is possible.

NINETY DAYS QUARANTINE,

lleuru-r ncumouin Reported TO Exist
Among Canadian and Europcnn Cattle.
Notice was printed last week that til, de-
partment OF agriculture had established II
quarantine in order to protect tho cattle Of
the United States from contagious diseases
now existing in foreign countries, and that
all cattle imported from Great Britain or
the continent OF Europe woald be detained
for q period OF not less than 80 days.
1t mas recently been officially declared by
the authorities of Great Britain that cattle
imported into England from the Dominion
of Canada have been affected with conta-
gious disease known as pleuro-pneumonia
and that the disease exists in the Dominion
OF Canada.
The existence of contagious pleuro -preu-
monia in the Dominion OF Canada Is dang
erous TO the stock interests of the United
States, and in case of the Importation of
neat cattle without quarantine might again
lead to the Introduction OF this destructive
disease into the United States which disease
has recently been extermlnated a great ex-
pense.
1t is further ordered that oil neat cattle
imported from the Dominion of Canada

found.
In this immediate section of the country
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine and
New York have in turn disclosed to the
world at large the existence within their
borders Of considerable number of aban-
doned farms. and now "Litto Rhody' has
made a similar discovery, but more start
ling If anything than was the first pubic
statement of this farm problem The report
of the commissioner OF industrial statistics
of Rhode Island shows that there are towns
which have less population than they had
before the revolution, aud this condition
of affairs is particularly significant when il
is considered that farms in that State arc
comparatively near the larger cities with
their extensive markets. Some idea OF the
large number of abandon farms in Ruode
Island can be obtained from figures fur
nished by the commissioner. lie shows that
Burrillvile has eighty-nne abandoned
farms, with an acreage OF 44J0. ihIhe as
sessed valuation Is $50, 100, aud thu esi-
mated market value is s. per acre. OF
buildings. Coventry has sixty-seven abau
doned farms, fifty-two with buildings and
fifteen without md tho total acreage is
about 69Sl. The estimated market value
of the land is {! om - to $50 an acre.
Gloucester shows thirty abandoned places,
covering about 24OU acres Scituate odds
forty five to the list, Hope Valley forty
six, West Greenwich SIXTY three, md tx
eter about fifty,
Now that the fncts in Little Rhody's case
have been published there will undoubtedly
lie an active demand for these farms by
people from the larger cities as we'll as farm
ers from other States, and as has letu the
case elsewhere, the next report OF the com
missioner is likely TO announce the sale of a
con siderabie number Of Rhode Islands
abandoned farms.

fewer than 40, 600 persons, many Of them
ticket holders, were turned away by the
military, who cleared the spaces around tho
building so as to prevent dlorders when the
service closed.
The Pope entered the cathedral at 9:45,
pale but smiling, and apparently In some
what better health than usual The cathe-
dral rang with tumultous cheers, as the
Pope was borne toward the altar. His
holiness OBLIGATED at the special jubilee
mass, intoning tine opening words OF the

penetrating voice. The mass lasted un I'll

Holiness. He remained in the cathedral 40
minutes after the celebration and then pro-

The Outlook for Home Rule

Reports OF tbs manner in which Mr..
Gladstone presented his scheme Of home rule
for Ireland seem to vary greatly according
to the affiliations OF the correspondents who
sent them. One account says that his
speech was dismal failure, the speakers
voice at times sinking almost into a whisper
and that as an exposition of the great
leaders views the address is not to be re
garded as great effort. Another
insists that the English premier achieved
the most complete and pronounced
triumph of the sixty years of his para-
mentary service and that his oratory com
pletcly unified the liberal party. The cor
rect view is probably happy medium be
tween these two extremes. The home rule
speech was undoubtedly a great effort when
the extreme ago of Euglands "Grand old
man" is taken into consideration, but tho
question Of the hour is not 80 much how he
spoke but rather what he said.

Vermont was one OF the first States to
face the abandoned farm problem and in
dealing with this question our people have
already passed beyond the experimental
stage. When this subject was first breach
ed there were not a few Of our prominent
men in various parts of the State who
thought mistake had been made in airing
the matter in public They feared the
agitation OF the question in this
way would discredit the Grecn Mountain
State and njurs our agricultural interests,
especially tending to depreciate the price OF
our farm lands. But now that the 'battle
ia overh it is plain to be seen that the plain
family talk INDUCED in concerning this
problem has resulted in no snail benefit to
the State. Not a fow people have been at
tracted to our Stale thereby, especially
residents OF the larger cities who
desire summer homes in the couu-
try, and there Is now undoubtedly a better
market for farm lands of every quality In
Vermont than before tho press began to
handle the abandoned farm problem with
out gloves. This question has therefore
lost its terrOrs for the timid ones 1t il
seen that other States have farms which
are neglected by their owners, and as a
matter Of fact there is probably not a
