FLORTDA's HAY CROP.
The Amount Grown increasing Every
Year.

Orlando. Fla. Aug. 3.-For long years
passed, until of late, the state of Maine
had most profitable customer in FIori-
da for her winter made ice and summer
grown hay. Jacksonville was a big dis
tributing point for these products, which
came thereby sailing vessels. Now we
have our oun ice factories at Sanford. Or
lando, Ocala. Tampa, etc, which cuts off
the Maine ice business entirely
As to the hay Industry IT is in great
danger of following the ice business in
TO retirement. For several years our
farm implement dealers have increased
their sales of mowers reapers. horse.
rakes, etc, for hay making But this
year the increase is enormous and uni
Versal, and the sound of the moving ma
chine is to be heard in every progressive
community. The hay crop is not only a
very large one, but the quality is of such
a character as TO make the future of this
new industry quite promising in all its
best features.
OF course northern and western hav-
makers will smile to hear such a report
from semi-tropical, sandy, South Florida
still, they may as well recognize the hand
writing on the wall ana begin 10 find other

Failure to reach profitable markets on
cheap transportation lines has somewhat
discouraged our large growers of melons

that there have been many changes and

The Southern Cultvator of Atlanta. for
August, appears to have in il a belatei
article from James Mott, our Orlando
nursery man. The picture of desolated
groves presented by him does not tally
with the present condition of things. He
says he looks out upon grove of l0
acres, mostly budded trees, and "as far
as the eye can reach, not a green leaf I'm
sight" This may have been true two or
more months ago, but to-day, with hard

trees are sending out new trunk branches

Savannah. Aug. 3.-The main feature in
the leading markets to-day was the strong
demand for rosin at the current prices.
Every available Offering was quickly
taken by anxious buyers. The aggregated
sales Of the past week have been far in
excess of any previous week this season.
Rosin advanced sc to -25Ac with some
sales, but the price was too high for the
foreign exporters. and the tone of the
market became dun. Cotton remained

Turtles in n Fight.
From the New York Press

Kingston, July 29-When walking past
the city water works yesterday man
heard a splashing in the water which
made him suppose that some one had fall
en- into the reservoir and that friend was
trying to rescue him. fastening to the
edge of the pond he saw two large snap
ping turtles fighting desperately. They
used their strong legs and claws with re-
markable speed, and made a kissing noise
which could be heard a great distance.
Finally one of them fastened itself upon
his antagonist.
The observer, aware of the delicacy OF
turtle flesh, rowed out to the place where
they were struggling. One of them APP
peared to be almost exhausted, and they
were both captured. When lifted into the
boat it was found that the largest had
closed his jaws on the head of the other
so that his teeth met in the flesh. He
could only be loosened by using sharp
stick.

Kansas Sod Houses.

The farmer cuts the slabs Of sod for
building purposes just us sod is cut for
transplanting grass.
The buffalo grass indigenous to tho
western Kansas country grows like
thick mat of closely curling tough horbage,
reminding one of the kinky hair of a
Guinea negro. The slabs of this sod, about
10 by u inches and inches thick, hold
together like rolls of thick felt.
They nrc laid in courses like building
stone and pressed closely together, and the
roof is made Of timbcrs and frequently
tlIatchcd The inside is then sInoothcd
with the native lime, which makes an ex-
cellcnt plaster, =.
The coat of limo is sometimes applied
outside also but usually these sod HOUSES
present a natural dun color like the winter
prairie In some cases tho floor is mhdo by
exeavating a few feet and then tranptng
the ground solid with horsos otherwise a
regular wood floor is laid.
The window and door frames are fitted
as in the building stone houses. The SOC
house. contains frequently only one room
but some have two and even three rooms
The elements tend to make ono mass o
