For the FLORIDA AGRNULTURIsT:
While you very wisely advise to diver
slfy our crops for home consumption, we
want something to bring a quick return
that will fill up gaps while our groves
are being re-instated. What shall it be?
Peaches don't appear to pay on account
of the high express charges, and vege-
table growing for Northern markets is
only rich mans business, and further
more the results gained by Masters COW
and Silver's 100 pound pig don't fill the
bill.
Could we not grow small fruits for
market which cannot be grown north of
the orange belt? Here are lots of us
who have our groves cut down to the
ground and will have to wait five or six
years Ito say the best of it) before we
can get a paying crop of oranges
Will some experienced brother horti-
culturist look this N after up and advise

to prepare the land for cotton, you can
put it in splendid fix for hay. There
your expense ends. All you have to do
after that is to save the hay. This is
easily done.
HOW TO SAVE 1T.
Cut it just before it blooms, sun it one
day, rake up and haul in after the dew
is off. Do not put too much in one pile.
You will find ready market for all
nice crab grass hay, at good prices, if
baled. 1t will cost you from fifteen to
twenty cents per hundred. and sell from
sixty five to eighty cents. This is better
than cotton at five, six or seven cents.
The same land that will produce half of
a bale of cotton per acre, worth from
twelve to fifteen dollars, and cost as
much, leaving no profit, will yield from
two to four tons of hay, worth from
twelve to fifteen dollars per ton, from
twenty five to fifty dollars per acre, that
cost from five to ten dollars to grow and
save. This leaves large and sure mar
gin for profits l leave a wide margin
in the yield, because, being new bust
ness, all will not work alike, and much
depends on preparation and seasons.

DEATH To GOPHERS.

There is always some use for every
thing if we can but find it. Mr. E. Win
tiers has found a use for the dried up or
anges that are to be found in nearly
every grove. He takes the arid Or
ange makes little hole in it and then
pours in about a teaspoonful Of bisul-
plate of carbon. The orange is then
thrown down the gopher hole, and
the opening stopped up. The gopher
never comes out, The orange quickly
rolls to the bottom of the hole and hence
is better than anything else for this pur-
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-06-12

pose. We kill salamanders by saturat-
ing few rags with the bisulphate of
carbon, and putting them in the hole and
covering the orening. We have never
known salamander to reopen hole
that had been stopped up in this way.
Anything that lives in hole in the
ground can be killed in the same way.

NORTRSWORTHY VS. NEELD.

Our friend Bill Neeld felt so exceed
ingly bad over poor prices secured for
his squashes and beans that he was not
satisfied with making it a family
affair and writing of his troubles to the
Florida papers, but must elk an
audience through papers published
out of the State. One of these papers
was the New York Fruit Trade Journal,
and in this Bill made his usual howl.
To this howl Mr.. Northsworthy,
another Florida farmer replies as fol-
lows:
l see b. VIM. P. Neeld's article in
YOUR last weeks issue that he is badly
out of Joint with the times down here in
Florida. True we have been hard hit
in the destruction of our orange groves
and loss of our cabbage and other early
CROPS by the memorable freeze Of the
past winter, but think the cultivation
of the soil can make as good showing
here as in other parts of the country.
Mr.. Neeld seems to have planted too
largely of squash and beans; now, if he
had plenty Irish potatoes mis- returns
would have been more satisfactory.

son by John Nix & Co., New York:

The large number" in this case did
not constitute over half dozen, but
Mr.. Spaulding is not the only one who
will have guavas in this section. Before
the first freeze we had about a dozen
large bushes bent and fastened to the
ground, and covered with sacks and the
whole covered with sand. After all
danger of cold was past they were I'M
covered and the bushes strengthened up.
The soon put out and today they are in
bloom and green guavas set.
We cannot furnish the guava makers
with fruit to preserve, but can supply
them enough to taste and smell so that
won't forget it's delightful odor.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Can you give me any information about the
chufa? 1t is too late to plant now, and about
how should the seed be planted and cultivated?
j. S.
The chufa is esteemed quite highly
as hog food. After the nuts are mature
the hogs are turned in and do the
harvesting. The editor of the Southern
Cultivator In speaking of the nut says it is
a most valuable food for hogs, and
fowls, too, eat it greedily. This crop
can be planted from May to July, in
rows three feet apart, dropping the seed
precaution of soaking the seed from one
to three days before planting, is neces-
sarv to secure a good stand, but after
the soaking, they should not be planted
during dry spell. The soil should be
moist when the seed are put in. About
200 pounds of any good fertilizer will be
sufficient for an acre. The plants,
when they first appear above the
ground, look like coarse nut grass. Two
plowings, and the same number of
hoeings, will generally be sufficient to
keep down any weeds and grass, and in
about two months the ground will be
covered with the rank green tops, which
are excellent food for cattle and horses.
The crop natures in about three months,
and hogs then turned in, will fatten
with surprising rapidity. 1t is the plan
of an old farmer, instead digging and
saving his seed, to throw two burrows
of earth on the bed before cold weather
sets in. He says he has found that this
will protect them perfectly until spring
A half bushel Of seed will plant
about an acre.
