DEVILS CURRENT.
browns His Victims in the Dark Waters Of
the Bosphorus.

LONDON. Nov. pa grim story is pub
lished here. taken from q private letter
from Constantinople, according to which
a diver. while recently engaged in assist
ing in the work of driving piles for new
pier at the Golden Horn on reaching the
sea bottom was surprised TO find himself
surrounded by the bodies Of number OF
men apparently standing upright around
him.
Upon investigation, the diver discover
ed that they were the corpses Of students,
many of whom were known TO him per
sonally. who were recently arrested by
the Turkish police and afterwards taken
out in the boats and drowned in the Bos-
phorus for taking part in the recent dis
thrbanees at STEAMBOAT. All the bodies
had leaden weights attached To the feet,
which kept them erect. The diver said
there were from forty TO fifty bodies in
that spot alone.
A dispatch to the Times from Constan-
inople says that the opinion prevails in
diplomatic circles that a European con-
ference is indispensable for the settlement
of the Turkish question, for, although the
powers have agreed, this agreement can
not be changed into action for fear of
drawing Europe into dangerous eastern
situation. The winter SHOWS will keep the
Asiatic provinces quiet, but something
must be done before springtime revives
the excitement and Macedonia is brought
into the movement
Consuls estimate the loss of property as
a result of the Biarbekir riots alone at

General alarm still continues here, de-
spite reassuring reports from the prov
inces. and the wealthy Armenians sleep
at the hotels in preference TO remaining at
their own houses.

Caribbean Sea; the eyolutiOns of the-new
navy were described and illustrated by

"pickle worm" which bores into the
"cukes" as the borer does in muskmel-
ons. We are net aware of any remedy
except destroying the damaged fruit
with the colonies Of worms.
Many of the insects that ravage vege-
table crops are not injured or destroyed
by insecticides, except those strong
enough to injure the plants. We believe
that the only satisfactory solution Of
the insect problem is the one now engag-
ing the attention of the Agricultural
Department, and experiments made in
several Western states the past two
years have been highly successful. The
first step is to find some disease fatal to
the insect. AS soon as this is learned,
insects having been given the disease by
incubation, are sent into the infested
districts and turned out into the fields.
The disease spreads to the other insects
and the result is that they are soon ex-
terminated.
These diseases are the subject Of in
vestigatiOn of some of our best scientific
experts and we hope that it will not be
long before the most destructive insects
that apparently defy insecticide can be
thoroughly dispatched in this manner.
IL mas Oeen SalQ InaG every lnSeCG mas an
enemy that VIII "come along and eat it
up" Many of us cannot afford to wait
for this "friendly enemy" however, and
must use every effort in our power to
overcome them by other means.
ABOUT PICKING.
We notice that many gardeners in
gathering the crop, pick or twist off the
fruit This should never be done. In
the first place it is careless and slovenly
way of doing it and second, it damages
both fruit and vine. A sharp knife
should always be used. Cucumbers,
especially, if cut clearly will keep sew
eral days longer in fresh appearance
than if twisted off. H. G. HASTINGS.

1.-THE Need of Population"

1.-THE following communication to which ed =
itoral reference was made last week under the
caption ga Sample Case" was unavoidably
crowded out of last weeks issue and is reproduced
herewith.-ED.]
Editor Florida A griculturist:
SIR-Your editorial of the 5th inst.
on The Need of Population" is undoubt
edlY true; but you do not state the facts
fairly and fully; you are too much on
one side-the landlord side, so to speak.
If with nature so bountiful and beau
full, Florida needs population, and if
limitless lands, affording inumerable
opportunities for hOme-making, are
lying wild and waste, it is not for any
lack of home-seekers or hOme-makers;
it is not for want of willing hands to
clear the bush and plough the prairie.
1t is because the very class Of people
who are able and willing to make homes
are utterly and absolutely barred from
the land in other words, it is because
the land is ''for sale" No matter what
the land is, or where, there is always
some owner, the government, the cor
poration, or somebody else, whose paw
is out for price. Now, this price" is

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.

the very thing in which the hundreds
of thousands Of agriculturists now
swarming and starving in our cities are
totally lacking. Hence, we have waste
one hand, and on the other wasted lives.
The vast majority of immigrants to
this country are farmers and farm labor
ers; they have never done any work bu
farming, and their only hope and am BIZ
ton are, sometime, some where, to be-
come the owners of farms in America.
How ruthlessly such hope ana ambition
are blasted is known, alas, only too well.
Barred from the land, they are forced
into a fierce, cruel, crushing competi-
tion for the most paltry pittance of pay,
at any employment, and etfectually
damned to the destiny of dragging out
their dreary lives in the cellars and She
bangs Of cities.
AS long as man is not allowed to do
the Robinson Crusoe act-to squat and
settle and turn farmer at his own sweet
villas long as there are rents, tax es,
prices, pre-emptiou laws, precluding
clauses, contracts or condItionals of any
kind, just so long will the present state
of things continue, not only In Florida,
The centres of population hold out so
many opportunities for the profitable
investment of capital, that he must
be very slow and stupid man indeed
who, with even $500 cannot start some
thing in the city or town which will
knock spots out of farming.
When the government, instead of dry
nursing milliOnaires, turns it's attention
to fostering farming starting worthy
and capable persons with farm and
stock, free and clear, even of taxes, un-
til such time as the farm becomes so
productive and profitable as to enable
the farmer to begin paying taxes and
reimburSing the government, with inter-
est, in installments; or, at least, when
the government gives the bum and the
tramp and the outcast full and free
access to land, collecting price and i'm
posing taxes only when the profitable
ness Of the farm will justify doing So
then, and not till then, will you see farm
ers focking to Florida, even into the
heart of the Everglades.
/, myself, am one of the very class,
and living under the conditions, of
which l have been speaking. Conse-
quently, if only to show that l am in
dead earnest on this subjecG, it may not
be impertinent to say something definite
about myself Born on an Irish farm
80 years ago; lived and worked on it I'M
til IA years ago; spent two years at the
Albert Agricultural College, Glasnevin,
Dublin; came to this country II years
ago; worked as laborer, gardener,

MUsKMELoN.
This is not a satisfactory crop in the
South. It's culture is the same as for
watermelon except that hills should be
6x6 feet. But small percentage of the
melons mature perfectly, because of
sunscald and insect attacks. Eternal
vigilance is the cost Of good muskmelons
in the South. Nixon, New Orleans
Market, and Ponce de Leon are good
Southern varieties. We find that the
Banquet is the most satisfactory Of any.
The foliage is very dense, shading the
melons and preventing sunScald. The
melons are very heavily netted making
them almost impervious to the attacks
of bOrers
SQUASH.
The growing Of cary squash is one of
the best crops for the gardener, and
there is out little expense attached to It's
cultivation com pared with the other veg
e,able crops. 1t usually brings salts
faCt,ry prices, but seldom fancy ones
In this, we consider only the summer
squash. The early White Bush is usually
planted. 1t produces well and bears
trans pOrtatiOu without damage. The
Sum mer Crookueck was formerly planted
to some extent but has been abandoned,
it being easily broken in shipping. Mann
moth White Bush and Golden Custard
are varieties obtained by selection from
. the white and yellow varieties. They
cbn bn t,1a cd in ret
each way, a little earlier than melons;
the squash being more hardy. The hills
should be MANFRED OR fertiliZed the same
as for melons and cucumber but do
not reQuire as much to each hill. In
family gardens aud for local markets,
successive sowings should be made TO
( keep up the supply.
In picking for shipment, the squash
should be nearly full grown and the skin
not fully hardened, just as it loses it's
greenish appearance. Squash can be
!, shipped in either barrels or crates, but
! the latter is preferable. We find also
that they carry best wrapped in brown
/ paper.
7 The Summer Crookneck variety is
largely grown in family gardens and is
considered Of superior table quality
The latter varieties such as Boston and
Early Prolific Marrow, Hubbard and
Fordhook are grown for family use.
These have longer vines and should be
I planted six feet apart. hese are later
in maturing but will keep for some time
after maturity.
There is distinct variety of squash
J known as the Egg Plant which can be
sliced and used the same as egg plant.
Great care should be used that no
gourds are planted near squash, as the
i bees mix the pollen and produce squashes
that are intensely bitter This is also
\ true in regard to watermelons and

A KAsYLE MARRIAGE,

the Ceremony Is Complicated and WIZ
Up With an Exciting Incident.
The wedding ceremony among tbs
Kabyles is interesting because of ita
comparative resemblance to the customs
of the old Greeks and Romans and even
to those which still prevail IN seques.
tered parts of France. Here it is tbs
girls father who exacts a wedding por.
ton, sum of about 98, for which ths
bridegroom has generally to rely upon
the advances of his friends. Often, too,
the young man has not a house for his
bride, in which case his friends set TO
work and build one, no very difftcur
matter.
On the wedding day the bride is led
through the villages in the neighbor
hood, mounted on mule and escorted
by friends and relations, who shout and
fire guns again and again. The various
householders hasten forth to offer her
sieveful of beans, nuts or dried figs o.
these she takes a handful, which she
kisses and then replaces in the sieve
All the offerings are collected in sacks
by the old women Of the procession al
contributions to the young peoples lar
der.
at the bridegroum's house the giFl's
hands are washed with liquid butter
Then they give her some fresh eggs
which she breaks ON the nudes head
and inside the unhappy animals ears
thereby, it is believed, counteractins
any evil designs against her and he-
husbands happiness. Before entering
the house she drinks milk, fresh and
sour, and also water, and scatters oVe'
her shoulder handful of barley, whoa
and salt for the good of the family.
The husband then approaches her and
fires pistol above her head to signify
that thenceforward he has the power Of
life and death over her. Not infrequens
~ he makes the symbol even more en-
phatic by firing into her headdress and
setting her aaame. This done, little rs
mains except for the youth to lift ths
lady in his arms and carry her bodily
into his house. An the Year Rou1la
