An interesting illustration of the effect
produced upon candid mind is afforded
in letter from st. Augustine, con-
tributed bv the Rev. DR.. J. HI. Edwards
to the Evangelist, Presbyterian jour
nal.
After describing the effects of the Feb
ruary frosts, DR.. Edwards says that
"the picture has bright side, with
light ahead" He reports that the
people have been "patlent and uncom-
planning toa marked degree" He points
out that they "have learned not to de-
pend wholly on a crop liable to possible
humiliation" and predicts that more
attention will hereafter be paid to veget-
ables small fruits, sugar-cane and field
crops.
DR.. Edwards writes that "Florida has
many resources untouched by the de-
structive cold of the past winter" and
that the field crops and miscellaneous
products are worth twice as much as the
citrus products, while the phosphate,
output furnishes an important article
of export, and'the winter crop of travel
ing Yankees" can be counted upon to in {.
crease steadily, since ''Florida is the
outdoor sun parlor of the whole North"

Our Supplement.
Citizen.

We present to our readers with this is
sue a beautiful Art Supplement con-
sisting of two Photographic reproduce
tions of that wonder of modern ages, the
Colum bian Exposition. The pictures
that we have the pleasure of distribut-
ing among our readers, are samples of
that beautiful art work, the Dream City
the control of which has been secured
by us. 1t is being offered as souvenir
to our readers. With double motive
in view we offer this Art Supplement, in
the first place it is handsome present
to our subscribers, and IN the second place
it conveys better idea than a column
of descriptive matter could of the beau
tlful series of pictures contained in our
Selected Views. AS we have already
stated in our advertising columns and
otherwise, we propose to give to new sub
scribers and to those already readers who
renew for one year for the small sum of
Is cents a handsome bound volume of
sixty-four selected Photographic views
of the Worlds Columbian Exposition.
Each one of these views is 8x1O inches
in size and is accompanied by an inter-
teresting and accurate description. If
purchased as original photographs these
engravings would cost at least 81 each.
In order to secure this beautiful and in
structive collection it is only necessary
to send in the required amount

Florida farmers should be equally as
enterprlsing.
But aside from the money derived from
the sale of the products of the fields the
general crops have the same mission as
the vegetables-they supply the needs
OF the growers family. If the grower
can reduce the size of his grocery bill
by feeding his family from his garden
and field, the matter of market for his
products will be secondary considera-
ton. Market or no market, the garden
and field crops of the State during the
next few years will prove the salvation
of the State, and the man who overlooks
or underestimate their Importance will
make an almost fatal error.

winter climate. Of course, the recent
cold spell cannot be taken as standard,
for it was very rare exception, and
Florida suffered like the rest of the
country, but such record as this will
probably not be made again for half
century.
1.-THE development of winter travel to
Florida is growing every year. There
are many more people in Florida this
year than year ago, and there were
more last year than the year before that
Just as soon as good times return and
the people have little more money YOU
will find that Florida will not be able to
accommodate the crowds who will come
here, until it's present facilities are ex-
tended. Florida is now queen of all
American winter resorts, and it's hotels
are unequaled anywhere on earth. They
are growing in favor year after year,
and am impressed with The fact that
we are drawing every year from new
have had great many Europeans here
this year, among whom have been a
great many notable personages.
"The Cotton States and International
Exposition, to be held in Atlanta next
fall, is going to make an early season for
Florida. You see, thousands of North
ern people will come to the exposition,
which opens in September and closes on
January LIST, on which date the Florida
season usually opens in earnest. Now
many of the visitors will take the occa-
sion of their visit to come to Florida.
and unless am greatly mistaken the
Florida season will open fully month
earlier next year than usual. The ex posi-
ton will thus be of incalculable benefit
to this State. "-Corresponden Atlanta

Present Condition of Pineapples.

Here at Pabor Lake and vicinity, the
second freeze had this effect upon the
pineapple plantations, the fruiting pines
in the first class succumbed; so did the
expected per cent of the second class
while those planted last year seemed TO
whisper to the passing breeze 1--WE still
live" At this present writing, then, we
are of the opinion that the pineapple
plantations are in the condition of a
newly planted crop, only that they are
farther advanced by having good, we'll
established roots and that they will this
year send up strong, vigorous shoots for
an early crop in 1896. We need not say
how disastrous it would have been for
us and for all concerned, had the plants
themselves-as with 80 per cent of the
citrus trees all over the State-been
killed. The fact now seems to be thor
oughly established as far as the lake re-
gion is concerned, that the pineapple
plant will survive freeze of 10 degrees
and not die out, only down. This alone
strengthens our faith in it's culture for
profit.
AS far as we can learn, the plantations
in the Indian river country are in a sim
liar condition to our own, save on the
lower keys and about Blscayne Bay
where less injury was sustained by rea-
son of greater water surroundings and
nearness to the Gulf stream.
AS we send this to press March 15)
ten DAYS later than the above was writ
ten, a close examination of all the planta-
tion leads us to believe that it is now only
a question of heavy fertilizing, cultiva-
ton and care, to insure good crop next
year.-Pabcr Lake Pineapple.

Restoring Orange Trees.

In answer to an inquiry on this point
the Farmer and Fruit Grower says:
In several previous issues we have
given our opinion in favor of cutting off
such trees at once close to the ground
and allowing all the sprouts to grow for
awhile, to be gradually thinned out.
This is the advice of majority of the
best growers in Florida.
A prominent grower, in conversation
with us recentlv, said that we must not
be disappointed if orange trees, espe-
cially in the upper part of the belt start
very late and make little growth this
summer. The shock which they re-
ceived from the double freeze-the
second one coming when they were in
the sap-was very severe. He related
his experience in cutting one year some
large sweet seedlings which had bloomed
and were covered with oranges about as
large as peas. 1t was about two months
before they sprouted and some did not
sprout at all that year. The next year
they started out and made a good
growth. He thinks the shock given
them by the February freeze was worse
than the simple telling would have
caused, because-and in this he agrees
with the view we have already ex-
pressed-there is undoubtedly a reflex
action of the frozen part of the tree
upon the part below.
In this vicinity the trees have been
generally cut down at the ground where
a considerable portion of the trunk was
not alive A good many are budding
into the root or near the root, while
others are leaving the trees until the
sprouts shall have sufficiently matured
to receive bud. 1t is generally believed
that sprouts from the roots Of ten to
twelve year old seedlings will produce
fruit as quickly as if budded. A good
MANY buds have been inserted both in
grove and nusery stock, and the work is
still going on. None of the principal
groves will be abandoned. AS various
ways of cultivating and otherwise treat
ing grove is followed by success, so
either of the above methods will no
doubt succeed. Perhaps all will do
equally we'll and if all are tried, we shall,
in the sweet bye and bye, be glad of a
report of the results.
The bark is now slipping freely and
the work may go on. Low budding
will be necessary and buds will be easily
protected by turning furrow against
them, should the back door again be
left open to admit the northern zephyrs.
The successful restorers Of groves will
need no trust to secure them good
prices for some years to come. for the
country has this year learned what it is
to be without Florida oranges and grape
fruit.-Interlache Ruralist.

Board of Equalization Fixes VAL
ues of North Dakota Railways.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, n. D., Aug. 21.-The
state board of equalization finished its
work and adjourned today. The mat
ter of greatest interest in connection
with their meeting was the valuation
of railroad property under the new di-
rect tax law. Heretofore the North
ern Pacific has been the only road in
the state to pay tax on an assessed
valuation per mile, the other road
paying on gross earnings system.
But the gross earning law was re-
pealed by the last legislature, and as
a consequence the property of the
roads has had to be fixed in value per
mile by the board. For the past few
days a number of representatives of
the roads have been before the board,
Including G.. S. Fernald, of the North
ern Pacific; D. W. Cassidy, of the 500 !;
F. P. Cradon, of the Chicago & North
western; r. a. Wilkinson, of the Great
Northern, and T. S. Mcdonald, of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul. All
these representatives have addressed
the board, setting forth the unprofit-
able business of many of their lines in
the state and asking for a valuation
to be placed in accord with these facts,
as set forth. The board today fixed
value of $500 per mile on Northern
Pacific main line and $500 on
branches. This is the same as last
year on the main line, but a reduction
of $500 per mile on branches. The
Great Northern was fixed at IS, $50 on
main line and s2,700 on branches per
mile. The 500 was assessed at 81. 500
per mile. The Milwaukee at $1,000 and
the Northwestern at $3.50. The valu-
alton is considered equitable.

sPoFFoRD,s ACCOUNT.
Sensational Story of a Heavy De-
faIcation.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-Treasury
officials have not yet completed their
final report of the investigation. into
the accounts of Librarian Spofford, be-
gun about six weeks ago. Expert Mey-
ers, of the fifth auditors office has
made partial report, but in the abb
sence of Fifth Auditor Holcomb, his
deputy, ]. ]. Willie declines to go into
details, pending the receipt of a cemt
munication which he is expecting from
Mr.. Spofford. Mr. Willie declined to
affirm or deny the truth of a story
printed this morning by the New York
World, which stated that Mr.. Spofford
is short in his accounts about S35, ,0o1.
The World said that Mr.. Spofford had
utterly failed to account for moneys re-
ceived for searching the copyright files
and for furnishing kindred inforIna-
ton in reply to inquiries. II also
stated that Mr.. Spofford had carried on
the rolls positions that were unified;
that employees received salaries much
below those accredited to them on the
pay rolls, and that Mr.. Spofford had
offered to make good SIS, 600 of the al
legged discrepancy: Mr.. Spofford hand
led the moneys received for copyrights
and disbursed the salaries of the en-
ployees of his office. With reference to
the report that Secretary Carlisle had
recommended Mr.. Spofford's imnae-
date removal, Mr. Willie called attenE
ton to the fact that Mr.. Spofford Is
responsible by law to the president
alone.
In statement made today by Mr.
SpoTord, he maintained that the all
legged discrepancies were caused by the
accounts of the department having be-
come confused and misleading.
