VERY ENCOURAGING.

The Monthly Bulletin, the publica-
ton of the State Department OF Agri-
culture and the Bureau of I'm migration,
publishes very encouraging STATISTICS on
''condition and prospective yield of crops
for Septem Der. 1895, as compared with
1894" These statistics, in fact, are al
most as humorous as they are encourag-
ing, and those not acquainted with the
State Commissioner of Agriculture, and
who know something of the condition
and prospective yield, will be inclined to
accuse him of being "orea," and try.
ing to minimize prices on citrus fruits
by giving the impression that the crop
of oranges Of 1895 will be In the neigh
borhood Of 100000 boxes, and that
the condition of the groves as compared
with the condition twelve months ago,
is So per cent; that is, that they are half
as good as they were year ago.
This certainly must be good news to

AN exchange says that the county
commissioners of Marion county have gone
somewhat out OF their line Of duty and called a
meeting of the citizens of that county to be held
on the Goth, inst, when the question Of the cul-
ture of Cnban tobacco will be fully discussed.
Their endeavors to unite an increased interest
in agricultural pursuits among their people is
highly creditable and as the insurrectionary dis
turbances in Cuba have practically destroyed
the tobabco industry there for time, their end
deavor to interest their farmers in tobacco culr
ture is Timely. Florida will be looked to for
some time to come to supply the loss OF the

marks that Mr.. Plant is of the opinion
that only the well-to-do or wealthy should
immigrate to this section, but that it is
very bad plan for those who are en-
tirely without means to move to Florida
or elsewhere, for obvious reasons.
In the first place they come to State
where the soil tilling methods differ
from those of nearly every other section;
they come where they are unknown;
they have not the means to engage in
any line Of business; cannot buy land upon
which to farm or raise crops Of any
kind ;are unable to stocek the land and
buy implements to cultivate 1t If the
land was given, and to sum up the situa-
tion in few words they are like ship
at sea without sail or rudder and must
depend upon day s. labor for snstenance.
This may fail them, and just at this time
when the working of orange groves has
ceased to some extent, the demand for
day labor will not be as great as hereto
fore, and those who come to Florida ex-
pecting to earn living by their daily
toll while they are accommodating sur
plus for the purchase of land, are apt TO
be disappointed. We know that this
has been done in the past and perhaps
can be done now by some men, but
where one man would succeed on this
line a. hundred would fail.
Florida just now is receiving many
settlers from the northwest they are not
rich people by any means. but people
who have accumulated little surplus
bv hard labor on their farms, and the
think that as the evening CT life is
drawing near that they deserve they
pleasures and comforts of life that may
be had in a mild climate. They do not
expect to cease their labors when they
settle in Florida, nor do they expect to
accumulate fortune in few years.
What majority of these settlers are in
search of and what they will doubtless
find, is section where they can make
living by following the business they
have followed all their lives, and at the
same time not beexposed TO the pleasure
destroying blasts of northern winter.
We are inclined to the opinion that
the new settlers Florida will secure for
the next decade will be comp osed largely
of this class. These people settle on
land not selected exclusively for the
orange business (Which was the case
few years ago. but on which can be
grown a great variety Of crops. These
crops can be planted and harvested with
in twelve month, and the immigrant
will not have to wait decade for the
fruit of his labors, as did his predecessor
who came to Florida burning with
the orange fever, and who would think
of nothing, talk of nothin and cultivate
nothing but orange trees.

A GREAT FLORIDA PRODUCT.

| handsome publication with the oDJec'
of inducing immigration and securing
settlers. Thousands of copies of this
publication are being distributed at the
Atlanta Exposition and throughout the
North and West, and we trust the object
of those who conceived the plan will be
fulfilled.
In this publication of course the re-
sources of the county and it's products
are treated of at great length, nothing
apparently is forgotten, and the man
who has an idea Of locating in Florida
can form pretty true idea of what he
can do and what he can raise, by read
ing its pages. Even that great Florida
product the razor back is treated of in
the following chapter:
"Did you ever dress a fish and expert
ence feeling of keen disappointment
at the shrunken size Of your six-pounder,
after you had cut off his head and tail
and taken out the entrails? This feeling
is intensified if one dresses Florida

lntestines and hair, he is hollow decep
ton. His hams are remarkable for the
concavity of their outlines and the won.
derful disproportion of meat to your ex.
pectations, while his sides look like a
miserable failure of nature, in an at
tempt to make a fair article of whir
leather. Alphabetically, the razorbaek
is built on four .legs-the two hind ones
at the rear corners the front ones just
far enough in front of the center to pre-
vent the long snout from fitting the tai
end into the air. The pure breed has
three tails-one at the proper place and
one suspended from each side of the
lower jaw. The Creator never made
anything in vain, and no doubt there
WAS wise purpose in providing the razor
back with tails on his jaw, but man ha'
never yet been able to penetrate thl.
yelled mystery There is an excess Of
tails and a paucity of brains. He ha!
no sense and his instincts are perverst
and lead to destruction. With his long
snout he can smell a patato patch five

aw VIII ich shall abridge the privileges
or immunities of citizens of the United
States, nor shall any state deprive any
person of life, liberty or property with
out due process of law"
Section IL of the constitution is ver-
batim copy of that amendment. The
writer goes on to argue the "due process
of law" means by civil suit, or by the
execution of judgments obtained against
individuals.
He then makes the following applica-
tion of the principles involved in that
declarations:
1--WE purchase piece of land either
from an individual or from the govern
ment If the title is perfect we are
guaranteed peaceful possession and en-
joyment of the same. Our state law
guarantees this. The land rem aims I'M
cleared and unfenced. An Individual
trespasses on this piece of land and
takes away timber for the mill, ties for
railroad, or cord wood or any natural
growth on this unimproved land. These
trespassers are depriv1ng the owner of
his property without due process of law
and he is prosecuted and punished for
the offense. The question as to whether
this piece of land is fenced or not does
not enter into the discussion IN such q
case.
eve take this same piece of land, and
without fencing it, plant a certain crop
in it and a hog or a cow trespasses on
the land destroying the growing crop.
The owner is deprived of his property
without process of law, just as he was
when trespasser stole his timber; and
it is apparent on the face of it that un-
der the constitution of the United States,
that no state can enforce any such law
as the present fence or stock law of Flor
| ida. if test case is once carried through
the courts. And we are inclined to be-
lieye that this is the quickest solution
of the problem, although the practical
effect of such decision would necessa-
rily make condition of mo Fence" in
counties that are not ready for it. But
if the stock people are to continue to
deny the people of the different counties
the privilege Of saying whether they
wish fences or not and continue their
stiffnecked opposition to the interests of
the fruit and vegetable growers and
farmers, it may be necessary to bring
test cases in the courts, the result of
which will be the taking away Of all the
range privileges in every county in the
state.
1t may be admitted, for the sake of
argument if nothing else, that the Flo
rlda stock law is unconstitutional.
Even admitting this, the difficulty re-
mains and COWS and hogs will prey upon
and destroy gardens, field crops nurser-

| The AGRICULTURIsT has suggested
many times the only solution of the
problem-a local option fence law. If a
law should be enacted applying to the
entire State and requiring hogs and
cattle to be fenced IN instead of out,
we doubt if it could be inforced. A
