Stick to Orange Culture.

the following to the Fruit Grower:
August has come and half gone, and
there is yet wanting the development l
have fully expected from the orange
stumps and roots. Some are doing
better than l expected, giving good
promise that every fragment of root will
throw out its green sprouts, and shoot
upward and in time reward our patient
care by bloom and fruit. Not a little
depends on our nursing and attendance.
Nature is full of surprises to all who
study her and wait on her developments.
There is very little of my grove which
will not go to the ground; and the
sprouts that value are those which come
from the ground. Many stumps have
dozen or more strong, vigorous shoots,
stocky and we'll branched. growing in a
circle often six feet in diameter. These
I shall. for the next year or two, let grow,
all of them. They will protect each
other. Those that have most stamina
will crowd out the weaker ones. 1t is
too early to select those which are best

for the last two weeks in part Of the
shoots; enough so that l may have bud

shall probably not cut back much till

amount [ now bud. l label everything
set and keep a record of foot buds and
so on up to the last bud | use on the
stick. My work in budding, for period
Of fifty years, has taught me that there
is a law in nature about even such small
matters as the place where you cut your
buds on the shoot or branch you are
using; and that the variation we so often
see in standard varieties of fruits is
largely due to this law. For years l
have only cut Jaffa buds from one tree
in my grove to get esta blished unlfor-
nifty in my fruit OF a standard and de-
sill able variety which has been profitable
70 me to grow. If | wanted smooth,
81 .pely oranges of medium sizes and
had plenty of budding wood, | would
not use any except the irst four or five
buds which are well developed on a
stalk. These do not start so quickly as
the buds which are angular, farther up,
but they can be made to come and do
produce, as rule, rounder wood, in
the citrus family, and more fruit. But
at this time, we cannot pick and choose.
l am using the last bud even when it is
so tender that it is not wood. Next year
expect to have enough of the varieties
I prefer to choose from.
One thing am fully decided about,
''to stand in my lot" I look to see
better fruit in the future than have in
the past, and to learn more about it.

I think, with E. III. Hart and Chas.
Amory, if Gen. Sa nford could spend so
much in Introducing fine varieties OF
the citrus and establishing them in
Florida, we ought not to begrudge the
time to search out any lingering sprouts
which remain from our disasters and
preserve them to the State. There are

or all the remedies that have been in
vented in the last few years for the cure
of the tobacco habit, none have been SO
successful as the Oxygen Tobacco Cure. 1t
has even surpassed the expectations Of its
discoveries and promises TO be the great
cure TO which all will turn to get rid Of
one of the flthiest habits that ever char
acterized any nation.
No one who uses tobacco will deny that
1t is an offensive habit, and the most OF
those who indulge In II say that they
would like to quit it. But il has gotten
such a hold upon the American people; it
has become such a part OF their constitu-
tons that the ability to give it up from
mere will power is almost useless. One
must bring something else to his aid. He
might as we'll say that he would give up
drinking or eating as to say that he would
quit chewing from the mere force OF will.
1t is next to an impossiblity, and only the
strongest minded can accomplish 1t.
But If one really wants to quit the use OF
tobacco he should take the best remedy,
and take 1t right away. He must not de-

thousands and in every case has effected a

no one can afford to indulge. 1t is not only
expensive and repulsive. but it is detri-

from Howard County.
case of considerable interest to the
public in general was decided by the SUI
preme Court yesterday. II was held, in the
case of the Indiana Natural Gas Com
pany against Henry Jones and others, that
in the assessment OF damages in condemna-
ton proceedings no allowance shall be made
for future prospective damages that could
accrue only through an accident. The case
came from Howard county. The land of
Jones and others was condemned for the
purpose OF laying gas pipes. 1t was APP
praised, but the owners were not satisfied
with the appraisemept and entered suit to
set Ii aside. The matter was tried before
a jury, which gave Judgment for an amount
much larger than the appraisers Lad
named. The trial judge had Instructed The
jury that in considering the damages to
be allowed il must consider not only the
actual damage. but damages that might
accrue on account of the dangerous char
acter of the gas. This was held to be err
roneous by the Supreme Court and the case

THE DOG TAX FUND.
Supreme Court Refuses Rehearing
I'm Center Township Case.

Yesterday the Supreme Court refused the
petition for a rehearing in the case of
Thomas Taggart, auditor. ct al, against r.
L. Williams. treasurer This is the suit
which was brought. several years ago by
Williams to compel the apportionment of
the surplus dog-tax fund OF this township
among all of the school corporations of the
township. The case. was won by Williams,
and an appeal was taken, in which the de-
csion of the lower court was affirmed. The
petition for the rehearing brought up the
question OF the division of the funds that
had accumulated since the case was filed.
and cited the fact that since that time large
areas had been taken, into the city. and
claimed the city should not have the benefit
Of the tax that had accumulated to this ter
ritory. The decision holds that the town
ship trustees should apportion the several
different funds that have accumulated in
proportion TO the population OF the different
school corporations at the time the fund
should have been divided. and not in ac-
cordance with the population at the present
time.
