natural conditions. This was accom-
plished by giving to the seeds in solu-
tion of water the proportion of fertiliz-
ing elements, which analysis shows they
require.
We are all familiar with the fact that
Immediately after rain in summer
plants will start to grow most vigorously.
We say it is the water. 1t is, but the
water is an agent, and not by itself only
1t is water taking into solution the chem
cal elements of various kinds In the
soil, and bringing them into contact
with the spongioles or bulblets on the
hair-like processes of the roots; thus Civ
ing to them the necessary nourishment.
And this water does more as an agent,
it makes possible the multiplication of
bacteria, which break up and make
available the chemical elements in the
soil, and, probably to you unknown
chemistry peculiar to their action, Great
ing new forms of plant nourishment.
One can get hint of their rapdity of
growth and numbers by placing a small
bunch of hay in a wide-mouthed bottle
and setting the bottle in a sunny win
dow for a few days.
To raise'a garden in Florida then, we
must use fertilizer and an ample supply
of water. But many people will say
"that is not all, we sometimes have
frost in late October and always in
November" Truly, and yet peas, onions
and cabbage will stand a light frost
without injury. For other vegetables
light covering, such as stout cheese
cloth, would make practical safe
guard against damage.
There are "fearful souls'' who find
''lions in the way at every step, but
for men of average courage and good
sense, l see no reason for the poverty
stricken condition Of the gardens in

Mr.. Frank Julian has in press a descrip-
tive book on Tuscumbia that will be Of
advantage to the town." ut was an
unusual sight Tuesday to see a long train
of wagons, pulled by splendid lot of
horses, going South over the pike
towards Tuscumbia, on their way to
Mississippi. 1t was colony of strong,
sturdy farmers from Indiana, who were
on their way to try future home IN
more sunny land than Hoosierdom. All
the papers that have added to incite
such movement and especially Home
and Farm are entitled to the thanks of
the entire Soulh.
But I wish to criticise some of the
methods adopted to induce immigration.
Tt will do but little good to get up adver-
Using circulars in the South and dis
tribute them in the North. At best
they can reach but few here, and their
influence is too evanescent And then
many here will not give credence to
anything emanating from that quarter.
There is a world of prejudice here yet.
1t is too expensive to send out here to
work up com panies of migrants. Give
the people right information in the right
way and they will organize their own
companies. My view Of it is the cheap
est and most successful way would be
for counties or townships to get up in
pamphlet or booklet form the salient
points of what inducements they have
to offer, and then by a little judicious
advertising in the right Northern
papers, adding the invitation to 'send
for pamphlet" more could be accom-
plished than in any other way, and with
less expense.
Get person interested to send for a
pamphlet, and he is going to read and
consider 1T, and show it to his ne1ghbors
when they come in, while mere circu-
lar would be apt to be used the first time
waste paper was wanted. An advertise
ment in a paper keeps the subject before
the people, and persons whose attention
it attracts are going to investigate some
time. Then there is great difference
in papers to advertise in, and much in
knowing where to seek immigrants.
For instance, besides Home and Farm,
I have had articles favorable to the
South published in t NO papers in each of
the States of New York, Pennsylvania
Ohio and one in Nebraska, all frst-class
papers; so 1t may be said that I covered
the ground from Maine to Colorado, as
most of these papers circulate in that
sweep of states. These letters elected
numerous inquiries, and singular as it
may appear, more than half of them
came from one state, and only one from
all New England.
Probably it would do little good to
advertise in the Eastern states just
now, for the people there are very much
interested in restoring their own aban-
doned farms. The Mobile and Ohio
Railroad Company, although an inter-
ested party, did not exaggerate very ex-
travagantly when it. published the fol-
lowing:

Kentucky, drouth, which had lasted for
several months. had practically de-
stroyed all sem blance of the usual family
garden. 1t was one of the anticipated
pleasures to be derived from my Flor
ida trip that | should find an abundance
of garden supplies for the table. My
gustatory pleasures were almost entirely
by anticipation; they certainly did not
exist by realization.
In my ten days stay we did have
''string beans" once for dinner. There
was, however, an utter absence of new
Irish potatoes, peas. tomatoes, onions,
beets and similar vegetables. The house
at which we stayed sets an excellent
table, providing everything the market
affords | remarked to a friend, ''Why
is 1T that the market is so bare of season
able vegetables?' He replied ,"Lack of
water" | have repeatedly told my
Northern friends that we can raise two
garden crops a year. Hereafter | shall
modify the statement by saying "but we
DON'T"
On our way home we passed through
Jacksonville, and desiring some addi-
tiOns to our lunch baskets, we went
along Bay street to get what we wanted.
One refreshing article we hunted for
was celery-not a stalk of it could be
found Notwithstanding we looked into
every grocery and market stand from
the viaduct to the back yard. | think
there is no greater disappointment to
visitors in Florida than to find such an
utter dearth of fresh vegetables.
On our ride in going down from Jack
sonville to DeLand we noted each grove
and home place we passed, to see how
the gardens were flourlshing. My rec
election is that out of the many places
we passed, we saw only two or Ghr ee
feeble attempts at making a garden
and that too with very poor showing.
What is the remedy for this wretched
condition of things? l think, first, a
little more ambition to have ''gOod
things to eat" with a hearty willingness
to "stir shout" and get them And sec
ond, there must be with a sufficient and
proper supply of fertilizer, an abund-
ance of water at command. Friends in
Florida have often said tome, cit doesn't
pay to raise garden here; the fertilizer
| have put on that ground has cost me
twice over more than the vegetables are
worth" [ have no doubt they told the
truth. The failure to profitable results
lay in the fact that they failed to supply
one-half of what their plants needed and
that was water.
The experts in modern agriculture
have demonstrated beyond a question of
reasonable doubt that fertllizing ele
ments in order to produce their best
and fullest effects must have a sufficient
supply of water to make them available.
Water acts benefcially in three main
ways; first, it makes a solution of the
chemical elements which is the first
step IN adapting them to the purposes
of the plant second, it is necessary to
the formation and multiplication OF bac-
terra (fungi moulds, etc. which make
niUrifcation possible; and third, it sup
plies sap to the plant.

believed in the North that the South Is
mo sheep country" These figures
should put an everlasting quietus on
such silly talk. The fact is, it IS better
adapted to sheep husbandry than any
section north of it. Now, the question
will be asked, where can we sell sheep
when they are grown? The question is
easily answered. If you will only grow
sheep enough to make it an object they
will almost market themselves. Live
sock freight lines will be established by
both rail and water just as soon as there
is demand for it, and then buyers and
shippers will be about the country as
plentiful as they are in the North now.
3 The sheep would find consumers in the
Northern cities; and probably ere long
cargOes of them go abroad. Sheep are
sent to New York now from the far West
even from Colorado. Is our Lower
South farther off than that? But then
much of the South could have a cheaper,
easier, more agreeable transportation by
water.

but some pears. Now those apple trees
yield 100 barrels of fruit year.
In September, 1866, Governor Low issued
proclamation to the effect that Congress
had given the Yosemite to California as a
public park, and he warned trespassers
against settling there. Hutchings re-
manned, relying upon presumption rights
for the validity of his claim, no Govern
ment survey of the valley having been
made at the time he purchased his claim
from the former occupant and took pos
session.
Late in the winter of 1865, having Just
returned from San Francisco, where he
had gone to publish the ''Y osemite Alma
nac," he found awaiting him notice from
the Yosemite Board of Commissioners to
the effect that he must secure lease from
them of the property he was occupying or
else. He appealed to the State Legislature
and was granted the quarter section he was
occupying and which he had put so many
Improvements on.
But the action of the Legislature was
useless unless ratified by Congress, and
to Congress Hutchings appealed in '67 and
49, But there were delays and disappoint-
ments and no issue was reached.
Hutchings meanwhile was engaged ex-
tensively in the East in giving illustrated
lectures upon the beauties and wonders of
the Yosemite in order to raise money to
press his claims. Nothing came OF his
efforts until in 1874 the State Legislature
appropriated 100000 to satisfy the ap-
praised valuation of the few settlers
claims. Hutchings' Improvements, in
Guiding eighteen buildings that formed
little settlement about the hotel, to-
gether with his twelve years labor, were
fixed by the Commissioners expert at
SAL 900. When the payments were made
his share was cut down to $24 ,000 while
the shares of the other claimants were all
increased.
BY that time the popularity of the valley
From a total of LAT visitors for '64 the num-
Der had increased to 2711 for the year IA
And during the nine years from '55 to '64
only 653 people set foot in the valley. From
a painless, unknown wild, to which there
was no recognizable trail when he, as one
of the first tourists, found his way into the
valley in 80, it had become, during his
long residence, place of popular resort
for people from all over the world; roads
had been laid out by him through the val
ley and the Coulterville and the Big Oak
Flat roads had just been completed, MAX
ing the valley accessible in conveyances.
Before that time better trails had been
made so that visitors might come in on
horseback, with ride of only twenty-five
miles, after the stage road was built from
Big Oak Flat to Harding's, which then be-
came the stage-line terminus.
Travel became so great that Hutchings
had 109 saddle animals for use on this trail
and in the valley at the time he surren-
dered possession to the State.
After the winter of rs the Commission
ers refused TO lease Hutchings the cabin
