rid of the aphids infesting them in the
same way, especially when they are
young, and small bowl will cover them.
Any caterpillars unfortunate enough to
infest the plants would, of course, share
the fate of the aphids. In the green
house it's range of use is immense. In
tested plants in pots could be placed in
fumigating box or cham Der, and in an
hour or so every aphid infesting them
will be dead. Cold frames and forcing
beds sometimes become infested even
before plants are set out. A dish of BIZ
sulphide allowed to evaporate In such a
bed when the covers are on will clear it
out completely. 1t is unnecessary for
me to go into detail concerning the uses
of bisulphide of carbon. Enough has
been said to enable an intelligent man
to judge for himself. AS to the amount
of space will be enough, and experiments
may prove that even less will be suffi-
cient.
A word of warning, however, may not
be amiss. Bisulpide of carbon is poison
Gus. Its vapors kill animals and plants
as we'll as insects. 1t is exceedingly in
fam mable, and spark is all that is nee
essary to cause flash; even spark given
off when striking nail has proved
enough, and | once started fire from
the fumes touching a steam radiator
which did not consider excessively hot.
Fortunately, it's vile odor always announ.
ces the presence of the fumes even in
small quantity, and they disappear very
rapidly when not in confined space.

Orange Crop Estimates.

Capt. j. A. Enslcw, jr., returned to
the city yesterday from Tampa and says
that he is firmly conI inced that his esti-
mate of sixty thousand boxes as this sea-
sons crop of Florida oranges is correct.
He gives further details as to how he
arrived at this estim ate, and computes
the production, by sections, as follows:
DeSoto county, with Myers as the bust
ness center, twenty thousand boxes;
Manatee, with Braidentow n as the bust
ness center, thirty thousand, Clearwater,
st. Petersburg, the keys and all other
scattering points, scant ten thousand.
New Orleans buyers have purchased
twenty thousand boxes on the trees, says
Captain Enslow, Baltimore five thousand,
Cincinnati five thousand, Cleveland five
thousand, New York five thousand boxes
each, leaving scant twenty thousand
available November l. Nearly all the
oranges sold have netted the growers,

trees.-Times-U Union.

quantity, but very probably superior in
quality to that of last season, provided,
Of course, that the requisite amount of
rain falls. Upon this everything depends.
The anticipated shortage of the crops is
on account of the frosts of last year,
which seriously affected both the lemon
and orange trees in the mountain dis
tricts. - California Fruit Grower.

Messina, Italy, given in the October Con-
sular Reports, we learn that from Octo-

Of these shipments, those coming from
Messina alone amounted to 427, 381 boxes
of oranges and 683, oil boxes of lemons.
Speaking of the crop now being har-

Florida Syrup.

Few Florida farmers are aware of the
treasure that lies within their reach,
in the shape of refined syrup if
only properly made. 1t is surpassed
only by orange honey, but the assertion
may be safely ventured that most people
in Florida seldom enjoy the privilege Of
tasting perfect syrup.
Honey improves with age, and when
it begins to granulate it is at it's test.
The same is true of cane syrup. Honey
loses its new, sharp taste, so does syrup.
II the manufacturing of syrup is not
managed nicely and cleanly it cannot
be made to keep good long. Boiling is
for the purpose of separating the raw
matter from the saccharine matter;
therefore it prevents decom position if
made right and is we'll skinned during
the process of boiling. Many syrup
makers use old time boilers (Which are
fit only to boil cow feed in, as syrup
should not be cooked in anything but
copper or zinc), and bell the skimmings
into the syrup, which will hasten it's
fermentation. Such syrup is not fit to
eat even when new.
In this warm climate it is hard to get
it boiled down to the right consistency
without it's granting too soon. When
trying to buy syrup persons do not
desire wet sugar. The evaporator is
undoubtedly superior to the kettle. The
term kettle must not be misunderstood
to mean the self-skimmer, either, as the
Swimming can be best accomplished by
hand, and demands the ever watchful
eye and ready hand of the operator.
Even to stop the regular flow of the
syrup from the pan for a few minutes
to allow it to cook more will seriously
affect it's keeping qualities, as it then
mingles with the scum. Old barrels
should never be used, but new cypress
barrels that have not been wet even
with water. Syrup must be boiled to
the right thickness if good article is
desired that will keep for long time

Bisulphide of Carbon for Lice.

Underground luS0CLS ike Gn6 EnVllOXera,
and to destroy those forms that infest
stored grain. It's cost, it's inAamma-
bility, and the danger Of killing the
plants themselves have rather dis
cOuraged attempts to extend its use in
our own country until recently. At the
Madison meeting of the Association of
Economic Entomologists, Prof. H. Gar
man, of Kentucky, reported that good
way to kill lice on melon vines was to
cover the hills with wash-tub and evap-
crate bisulphide of carbon under them.
This interested me, of course, and de-
cided to test the practicability of using
it in our State, where the melon louise
does so much mischief at intervals By
the term "melOn" as here used, citron
and cantaloupe are intended, as we'll as
watermelons.
To get an idea of it's action. tried the
bisulphide on number OF pot-grown
plants in the botanical laboratory, which
were, fortunately for me, very lousy. 1t
acted promptly in every case, and soon
learned that it was not necessary to use
very much, but to get as great an evap-
Grating surface as possible if rapid eff
fects were desired
was then prepared when complaints
of an invasion by the melon louise began
to reach me in June, and arranged to try
series OF experiments in the melon
fields of Mr.. Howard G. Taylor, at
Riverton. Mr.. Taylor kindly gave me
permission to kill as many hills rs nee
essary for experimental purposes, and
supplied myself with dozen wooden
bowls, thirteen inches inside diameter
and six inches deep in the clear center,
as many glass graduates registering a
teaspoon, dessertspoon and tablespoon
fuJ, as we'll as with pound of bisulphide
of carbon. In these graduates, one tea
spoon corresponded very nearly to one
dram, and one deSsertspoon to two
drains; the term one dram, whenever
used, may therefore be translated one
teaspoonful.
The day selected was June Both, one of
the hottest of the season, the thermom
eter registering ninety-three degrees in
the shade, while In the fields it was
above 100 degrees under the monday
sun and no wind stirring. To test the
rate of evaporation one dram of the BIZ
sulphide was exposed in a shaded spot
and required fifteen minutes to dis
appear completely. Meanwhile series
of eleven badly-infested hills was Sc
lected, each covered by a bowl, the
vines being crowded under when nee
essary, and under each bowl was placed
one dram of the bisulphide in graduate.
At the end of twenty minutes l lifted one
bowl, found that less than half the ma
terial had evaporated, that all the lady
birds we're apparently dead, the small
lice dying, the striped beetles, ants and
large viviparous lice yet very much alive.
Ten minutes later there was little
change. At the end of three.quarters
of an hour, though but 1little more than
half the liquid was gone, all save few
of the wingless viviparous females were
dead, and at the end of one hour all the
lice were dead or appeared so. To test
this latter fact the treated hills were

bisulphide was simply poured upon tn,
ground at the side of the hill. All the
coverings were left on one hour, undis
turbed. Examined first square boz
covering a saucer with two drams
found this all evaporated and every
Aphis dead. The bowls covering the
saucers in which one dram was used,
showed like results. Two square boxes
which were open at the seams and cor
ners, covering graduates with TWO drains
of the liquid, had all the insects un-
affected and the material scarce half
gone. The two bowls under which the
bisulphide was poured on the ground
were then lifted and all the aphids were
found dead. All the other hills covered
by bowls showed the lice dead and not
all the bisulph de evaporated. The
hills first treated were again examined;
but no signs of recovered life were any
where noted, and the same was true OF
the leaves laid out in sun and shade.
The excessive heat of the day with a
burning-h hot sand made the application
a crucial one. noticed in some plants,
on removing the bowls, yellow dis

globules of clear, watery liquid stud

due to the rapid lowering of the tenn

the evaporation of the bisulphide, and

were suspended, therefore, with In
structions to Mr.. Taylor to duplicate
themif the plants died, at cooler
period of the day, On the 10th of July
he wrote me, however, "The hills you
treated when here last, started to grow
nicely, except the tive hills where the
carbon was poured on the grouud-that
killed them. The treated hills showed
no lice at last examination"
TIE experiment may be on the whole
accounted as successful. It, certainly
proves the possibility OF killing off COM

melon vines without injury to the plants.
The measure is absolutely successful,
because the vapor penetrates everywhere,

will require, where large field is to be
protected, stock of about one hundred
tight covers, material, shape and size OF
little Importance, save that they must
be large enough to cover hill of melon
vines beginning to run, and must not be
so large as to require too much bisul-
rhide. Some seedsmen or dealers have
plant covers that are dome-shaped, and
something of that kind that will nest
and take up little room would be desir.
able. A similar number of shallow
dishes of some sort will be needed, and
these may be tin or earthenware or even
glass. Cheap butter-dishes or Salt-cel
lars would answer; anything, in fact
that will hold one or two drains of bi-
sulphide of carbon.* If the fields are
watched early IN the season, and the
hills are treated as soon as the lice are
noticed upon them, it is probable that
exemption in ordinary seasons will be
complete. There might be exceptions

A Couple Of Condolences.

Some little time ago heard of an oc-
currence that took place at Broadway
and Chambers street on cable car, and
incidentally it was stated that no enc

on the block. AS this was in the middle
of the afternoon it seemed incredible
till tested it personally. Twice I have
seen that very condition of things right
there. once on the block below Cham
bers and once on the block above, and
again on the heavily Travelled block be-
tween John and Fulton, and yesterday
morning at 0 O'Clock there was SINH

tween Gortlandt and Liberty. Below and
above, Broadway was full enough Of
wagons going both ways. It reminded

Of such things If only one happens or is
idle enough to observe them. On priori
reasoning, or principles Of average, the
odds apparently would be millions to
one against such an event. Yet l have
seen it four times within a short period.
Some might say here that the man
who looks for such things is the only
man who finds them. Let me set against
this another experience of mine to the
contrary. For something over six years

out of the shop on switch. The num-

order. and l fairly trembled with the
joy Of fruitien that only crank knows.
There were Just 20 of them, and the last

all was that friend Of mine to whom
