An Argument in Favor of Diversified

No agricultural country which i'm
ports it's supplies of food for man and
beasts can permanently prosper.
1t is only through the aggregation of
the local expenditures into grand total
that we fully realize the ruin which such
policy brings.
There is no reason why any southern
state except Florida should buy pound
of meat or of stock feed and hence the
500 600, 900 now sent out for supplies
should and could remain for circulation
and investment in manufacturing enter
prises and general farm improvements
With the factories would come concen-
tratiOn of non agricultural population
and home markets tor All of the products
of the farm. IL is useless for farmers to
figure out on paper the correctness of
the one crop policy in the face of facts
which exist in every neighborhood. Go
where you will and you will find the
prosperous, independent farmers who
make heir supplies for man and beast.
How often do We find the planters in
deb to their neig hbors who are farmers
who practice diversified farming? We
invite especial attention to the following
interesting figures.

porter, who has evidently had consider
able experience in raising rice in Flor

planted now until the first of June.
Seed for this variety of rice can be pro
cured from Mr.. Macy, of Orlando, for
about two dollars per bushel Mr.. Macy
offers the following advice as to cultiva-
ton to planters:
Plow and thoroughly pulverize your
land and clean it of all rubbish. Sow in
drills about thirty inches apart use
about one half bushel Of seed to the acre.
Kun cultivator through 1T two or three
times during the first month; after it
gets three or four inches high pull all
weeds and grass. 1t will then stool out
and occupy all space. Be sure it is ripe
before you cut it; wheat cradle is the
best to cut it with; then bundle and store
in good barn. 1t is important that
you cut it when dry and keep it so, as
moisture will cause the grain to mould
and crack in hulling. The best way to
thrash it is to take it by the bundle and
whip it over the edge of wide board
stood up edgewise. 1t will pay to fer
tillze well, especially on upland.

Place resin and sal soda in q compar-

When all of the water is added, bring to

sufficient water to make five gallons of

forms thick syrupy solution of a dark

The cost of this wash. based on prices
quoted by Jacksonville and New York

above, usually requires about twenty

We think it hardly fair in the above
that theTelegraph should have exempted
Florida. While it is true that ner soil
may not be so fertile as that of some
other sections of the South, her climatic
conditions are so favorable for diversi-
cation of crops and continuous rotation
that they more than counterbalance the
soils deficiency. Aside from this the

able, and for the production of meat"

Resin Soap and Wash
Prof. Weber has sent us the formula
and full particulars for preparing the
resin wash and soap which our readers
will fully appreciate.
FORMULA FOR RESIN WASH
Resin. .......2O pounds
Caustic soda (9S per cent? ............4 AZ pounds
Fish Oil (crude) OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES pints.
Place resin, caustic soda and fish oil
in large kettle. Pour over them 13
gallons of water and boil till the resin is
thoroughly dissolved, which requires
from three to ten minutes after the ma
terials begin to boil. While hot add
enough water to make just Is gallons.
This ma be most readily accom- lished
by taking tight keg or other tall re
ceptacle and measuring into it Is gallons
of water, Then plainly and permanently
mark the height to which the Is gallons
come. After boiling, the not solution
may be poured directly into this meas
uring keg and sufficient water added to
bring it up to the Is gallon mark. This
serves as a stock preparation.
When this stock preparation cools, a
fine yellowish precipitate forms and SET
ties to the bottom of the vessel. The
preparation m ust therefore be thoroughly
stirred each time before measuring out
to dilute. An instrument like a chu:n
dasher, without perforations, greatly
facilitates thorough mixing.
When desired for use, take one part of
the stock preparation to nine parts of
water. If the wash be desired for i'm
mediate use, the materials, after boiling
and while still hot, may be poured di-
rectly into the spray tank and diluted
with cold water up to $50 gallons. This
requires the addition of about 1875 gal
Ions of water.
FLUID STOCK SOLUTION.
If fluid stock solution be preferred,
the wash may be prepared as follows:
Place the same proportions of resin,
caust1c soda and fish oil in the kettle and
pour over them from Is to II gallons Of
water Boil until the resin is thoroughly
dissolved, and then dilute with cold
water, while the solution is still very
hot, to exactly 81 gallons. To get this
exact amount, the barrel may be pre-
pared and marked in the manner al
ready described. This will form clear,
dark, amber. brown solution, which, at
ordinary Florida temperatures, wi re-
main perfectly fluid. For use, dilute
the whole formula to $50 gallons, or use

An Elephant Window Cleaner and

Gabriel Rossetti had n penchant for
wild animals. He was with difficulty
prevented at one time from purchasing
for very large sum young elephant.
Browning said to him: What on arth
will you do with him, Gabriel?" and
Rossctti replied: Il mean to teach him
to clean the windows. Then, when
some one passes by the house he will
sec the elephant cleaning the windows
and will say: Who lives in that house?'
and people will tell him: %, that's
painter called Rossetti,' and he will
say: L think l should like to buy one of
that mans pictures,' so he will ring
to come in, and l shall sell him a pic
turc."
One of the best of the Rossetti stories
concerns Mr.. Whistler. Once Rossetti
asked Whistler how he liked a sketch
he had made for n picture. 1T has
good points," was the answer; go
ahead with it," A few weeks later he
was asked about the picture. Doing

MOON MYTHS.

The Satellite an Object of worship and
Superstition In Nearly All Nations.
The moon has been worshiped among
nearly all the nations of the world from
time immemorial; indeed, her cult has
been asserted to be much older estab-
lished than sun-worship, says All the
Year Round.
The Peruvian peasant hurries home
out of the old moonshine, afraid of the
stern eyes of Mama Quilla, and the
Egyptian fellah lounges across the
sands where the sphinx shadow lies
black ut his feet, with a prayer on his
lips or in his heart to Thoth-Thoth,
the Master of Wisdom, the Lord of the
Ibis, in whose absence the fair land of
Kehm has been brought down very
low.
Swabian girls still refuse to spin by
moonlight, 'lest they would anger
Her." they say, vaguely, and in Ger
many children firmly believe in Horsel
or Holda, whose boat is the moon,
whose flower is the fax and whose de-
light is to reward Industrious little
maidens. Dante makes the man in the
moon Cain; in Egypt he is Horus, held
to the breast of Isis, his mother and the
is giant, who at flowing tide stops to
pour water on the earth and at ebb tide
stands upright in order that the waters
may subside.
a curious eastern fancy is that the
figure in the moon is that of the pattern
wife. Ina, who weaves the clouds into
white cloth, and who, after the lapse of
many Years, sent her mortal huSband
back TO earth by the rainbow bridge in
order that death might not dcGlc her
heavenly home. The cat and the panther
are both connected with the moon in
some vague, occult fashion; indeed, in
Australia the moon is represented as a
native cat and also in Egypt. In China
the celcstials say that there is frog in
the moon, n metamorphosed beauty
called Change.
