NOT THE RIGHT KIND
Taggart's Special Council Meeting
to Bounce Some Inspectors.
The Meeting Is Secretly Held-The Re-
dOubtable Higgins Put In-An0ther
Council Meeting for Wednesday.

Tom Taggart found a number Of inspect
ors yesterday morning who could not be
relied on in a pinch to do the work that
Sim Coy has mapped out for election day.
and a hurried gathering of the Democratic
committee was called. 1t was decided that
these Democratic inspectors should be re-.
moved and others put in their place. 1t
will be remembered that both Sim Coy and
Sam Dinin declared last week that 1t did
not matter much whether the Republicans
got the most votes in the ballot-boxes or
not, that Coy and his gang controlled the
machinery. After the Democratic commit
tee had been gotten together, Taggart
sent word to City Clerk Abrams that he
wanted an immediate session of the Coun-
ell to appoint these new inspectors. The
meeting was to be a secret one. The call
sent out yesterday morning to the
Democratic members, and by 10 o'clock
there were twelve of them in the City
Hall. McGuffin, of the committee on cleo
tons. had the resolution to be offered all
ready, and it rushed through in about
two minutes. Abrams did not even want
to let the newspapers see the resolution
The newspaper men were not told about
the meeting, and it would probably have
gone undiscovered had not one newspaper
man accidently stumbled upon it.
The resolution which was passed provid-
ed for the Appointment of the following to
fill Taggart's alleged vacancies:
Precinct &C. j. Woerner.
Precinct 30-E. A Parker
Precinct 39-John Liebrlch.
Precinct SOL. II. Poggemeyer.
Precinct 92-Herman Behrman.
Precinct 116-William Mammon.
Precinct 137--Jacob Gehrlich.
Precinct 143-Emmet Rose.
Precinct 132-John Higgins.
Higgins is known as the Immortal Com
modore and Parker is the father of the
clerk of the Board OF Works.
In number of the northern precincts
which are heavily Republican Taggart has
had aged men appointed as inspectors so
that the distribution of the ballots and the
arrangements may proceed very slowly,
/ thereby shutting off as many Republican
votes as possible.

quantity of phosphoric acid will find the
ground phosphate but an Indifferent
agent, as the available acid in the
rock is small in quantity, ami the in
soluble slow in action. If this element
was not Immediately needed perhaps
the ground phosphate would serve the
purposes, as it would remain in the soil
and the phospho1ic acid it contains
in an insoluble form might be available
as plant food in the course of time, but
where immediate results are wanted the
ground phosphate in it's raw state is
practically valueless, either if applied
alone or in combination with other
chemicals.
When the phosphate craze first struck
the State the boomers praised the
ground phosphate to the skies as a
complete fertilizer-they claimed it con-
tanned all the elements of plant food
needed by the orange tree, and that the
cost of fertilizing would as consequence
be very largely reduced. Many growers
were humbugged by this statement and
applied the phosphate and the phos-
phate only to their groves. The ap-
pearaDce of these groves is now the
strongest evidence that the growers who
used the phosphate were hum
bugged. We are inclined to think that
those who will follow the advice given
in the circular above referred to and at
tempt to compound high grade ferti-
lizer with ground phosphate as the basis
of their phosphoric acid, at one-half the
cost of the standard commercial brands
will admit after trial that they have
again been humbugged with the ground
phosphate.

tobacco cured in a log house, the joists
of which were not six feet above the floor.
A common wagon shed will serve the

upper part of a wagon and tool house.
A great many persons will doubtless be-
gin the cultivation of tobacco by plant
ing from one-half to five acres. In their
interest the above is written. For those
who are determined to make it their bus
mess and who wish to build barns they
can do SO cheaply with rough lumber.
The points to be observed are ventila-
ton when needed and the shutting it off.
There should be doors at each end Of the
barn large enough to drive a wagon
through. There is no necessity for
wooden floor, but the sills ought to be laid
on brick or rock in our climate to pre-
vent rotting and the space between the
sills and the ground closed with plank.
Frames from the top to the bottom should
be built inside on which to place poles or
laths on which to hang the tobacco to
dry. a sharp hollow spear that will fit
lath, made sharp enough to pierce
through the stalk should be used. The
stalk pierced and slipped on the lath or
small pole and repeated until the pole is
full, not allowing the leaves to touch
each other and then put in place on the
frames, is the cheapest, easiest and most
expeditions way of hanging tobacco in
the barns. 1t, however, may be tied by
strings to pole, or with a knife a slit
may be cut in the stalk and one end Of
the small pole or lath may be sharpened
and pushed through but these methods
are both costly and tedious. Care should
be taken to ecOnOmiZe all the space pos
sible and the number of stalks to each
lath or pole is to be settled by the dis
tance of frames apart on which they are
to rest. \ shed thirty by sixty feet and
from ten to fourteen feet high is suffi-

tobacco Persons who desire to build
fancy barns can do so, keeping in view
the necessity of ventilation both above
and below.

For The FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Humbug VS.. Humbug.

Humbug VS.. Humbug.
A circular from one of the numerous
phosphate companies of Florida has fal.
len into our hands. The circular bears
the caption, "Florida Soft Phosphate
Humbug"? AS might be supposed this
does not mean to say that the Florida
Phosphate is humbug, but goes on to
say that there is more or less humbug-
gerry attached to the commercial fertili-
zers sold in the State. We quote from
the circular as follows:
It is said that the American public
is fond of being humbugged certain it
is that the American farmer has allowed
him0elf to be thoroughly and completely
humbugged, and by the same class of
humbug-commercia fertilizers - and
they are humbugged with their eyes
open, for the analyses of all fertilizers
is printed on the sacks. For instance a
noted orange tree mixture for which the
poor orange grower pays $4,000 per ton,
shows by analysis that it contains from
IS to rs per cent. of lime, magnesia, etc.
and they ask you forty dollars per ton
for lime. You pay them, we persume,
because the poor manufacturer of COM
mercial fertilizers must be protected.
Now just stop and consider for a mo-
ment. Think for yourself and reform.
Lime can be purchased for $6 or $8 per
ton; why do you want to pay $40 for ii ?
Say this fertilizer contains 4 per cent. of
ammonia and to per cent. of potash.
Can't you purchase these ingredients
yourself and mix them? The process
is very simple. You can save at least
$40 per ton. Is this worth saving?
The gist of the matter is that the COM
paNy issuing the circular offers to sell
soft ground phosphate at so much per
ton, which when mixed with the am
monia and potash will make complete
fertilizer, and that the man who buys
these goods and mixes his own material
will save 500 per ton.
This circular while trying to make the
people believe they are being hum
bugged with commercial fertilizers is at
the same time trying to humbug them
with soft phosphate. The circular says
that by using the ground phosphate
(worth $8 per ton at the works) COM
plete fertilizer can be made for $40 and
that this fertilizer will be worth as much
as the $40 commercial article. This
is where the humbuggery comes in.
Perhaps so-called complete fertilizer
may be made at the price indicated but
the grade would be very low and it GER
tainly would not be worth as much as
the forty dollar article. This is. will
full misrepresentation and the verest of
humbuggers. Now let us see what would
be the cost of ton OF fertilizer with the
percentages as given in the above anti
humbug circular.

To contain four per cent of potash,
and four per cent of ammonia, the MKT
Mre must contain
800 pounds Sulphate of potash.
800 pounds of ammonia.
1880 pounds of ground phosphate.
The cost of this with freight added

points in the orange region) would be
as follows
800 pounds potash. ..... 95
800 pounds ANN .S4
1880 pounds ground phosphate...... %
Total cost of material .............. .$25. OF
This represents only the cost of the
material, to which must be added the
cost OF mixing, which would probably
bring the ton of mixture up to $2S. Now
let us examine the analysis of this MKT
ure and compare it with that of the COM
mercial goods.
The analysis OF til e"phosphate" fertilo
izer is as follows. Potash, per cent.
ammonia 4 per cent. phosphoric acid,
(available) about two thirds of one per
cent.
The analysis of popular brand of fer
tilizer we have before us and which sells
at $50 is as follows
Ammonia to ~ per cent.
Potash (ac ual) - to 13 per cent.
Phosphoric acid, available 10 to Is
per cent.
We have before us another brand
made by the same manufacturers in
which soft ground phosphate is used as
a basis of phosphoric acid. The guar
anteed analysis of this brand is potash Z
to 9per cent, ammonia to per cent and
phosphoric acid (totaD 10 to Is per cent.
This fertilizer is of much higher grade
than that made from the formula in the
circular. and is sold by the manufactur-
ers at $28 per ton which is about what it
would cost to make the fertilizer referred
to in the circular.
The manufacturers of fertilizers buy
ing their material in large quantities
and having machinery for mixing it can,
of course, do the work better and
cheaper than the individual who must
do it by hand and purchase the materi-
al in smaller quantities. Thus we see
as above the manufacturer can make a
higher grade of fertilizer from the soft
phosphate and sell it for less than the
consumer can make the lower grade ar
ticle, and at the same time this fertilizer
would doubtless be in better mechan-
ical condition and better mixed, as tie
manufacturer has machinery with which
to do this work.
After all there is more or less hum
buggery attached to the Florida phos-
pilates. perhaps not to the phosphates
but certainly to the representatives of
those who sell them. Those who wish
to apply to their grove any considerable

the native white and colored dependents. and
yet there are Americans Of prominence who in
sist that every port shall be kept wide open.
But the entire burden Of blame must not be
laid upon the nations that have maliciously
taken advantage Of our generosity, for some Of
the depreeiating causes are domestic. There
-'
which most crime springs; there is .
constant movement Of the population
toward and into the cities, and there is
unintelligent application Of the laws framed
to prevent crime. 1t must be evident
then that whatever missionary work IL done
should be done In the cities. To demngnetize
the centers Of population is not possible, SO the
practical mind at once turns to an investiea-
ton Of the methods by which city conditions
may be reformed. As Mr.. Boies says. "There
is no sound reason why people aggregated into
dense communities by natural instincts and
finding in such communities a mode Of living
there, superior in physical, intellectual and
moral advantages. should be debased by con-

STAR ia not pessimistic-this seems to be
pleasant sort Of . world anyhow-but it cannot
help seeing how thin is the partition dividing

the Generalization and anarchy toward which
statistics indicate that we are moving with
tremendous speed.
