FOR THE FLORIDA AGRIoU1rURrsr.


proper, if it is accom- panied with con-
tinual line of complaint, it loses it's
force for helpfulness and frequently
causes bitterness of feeling and more
or less of Indifference. The State Agrl.
cultural Experiment Station of Florida
with its branches has suffered so much
in this direction already that it seems
almost pity that it cannot enjoy sea-
son of approval, or, at least, a rest from
unfavorable criticism.
Manifestly the case is rather serious
one, and calls for clear, calm dlagno-
sis and the best treatment possible, or
it's future is foregone conclusion. 1t
is not fitting that we close our eyes to
grievous mistakes and errors year after
year, with but little or no prospect of an
Improvement. In fact it will not be
long tolerated. The agricultural indus
try has been burdened by such dead
weight full long enough aid ought now
to rise freed from further handicapping
of this sort.
In the issue of THE FLORIDA AGRICUL-
TUR1sT for June 10Th is given an extract
from the legislative investigation of the
Experiment Station and it's branches,
said investigation having taken place
only few weeks previously. 1t must
be admitted that the least said about
the re port of the legislative committee
the better it stands for the Experimental
Station; and the writer is disposed at
present to Withhold all further reference
to the case in specific manner, hoping
the management may speedily see it's
errors and remedy the same. No reflec-
tion is designed to be cast upon the col
lege work, or the faculty, or the theoret-
ical part OF the teaching and training at
tempted thereat. But of the more ex-
perimental and presumably practical
part of the station development or
fruitage, it is open for "consultation
of the case" to such as may be less con
sentative or tolerant.
One idea is surely admissible right
here; the object and purpose of these
AGRICULTURAL stations is to attain results
which, when made known to the more
practical class of land workers, shall be
useful to them, useful, at least, so far as
knowledge goes, if they never put the
same in practice. But it is tor their
practical utilization that gives to this
whole matter It's desirable feature.
If our agricultural colleges and exper-
mental stations can do nothing but
teach the classics and some fne-spun
theories upon the growth of crops and
chemical compounds, it is very evident
that the great body of land workers
will never gain much benefit from them
The very class of men we want to lead
up to higher and more desirable results
the more practical and less informed
class of farmers, fruit growers and gar
deners-are the ones the experimental
stations should labor to interest and ex-
tend useful and helpful information to.
It is not the strong who have a claim
upon our sympatbies and assistance,
Int the weaker ones. Let the expert
mental stations bear in mind that their
sphere of usefulness is not to inform the
learned, but the unlearned ; nor is it

In one of his entervicws since he got
back from Europe, says the Philadel-
phia Times, Chauncey Dcpew de-
scribes how he was spoken to abroad
and elsewhere by American ladies,
who recognized him from his pictures.
DR.. Depew ought to tell how a well
known Philadelphia lady, nov at a
suburban hotel, accosted him OF n
occasion. Finding herself seated next
to him in the limited express, she
said "You don't know me, but we
have one bond Of sympathy-the love
of animals. Tell me truly, for l am

elephant in every possible way"

SEVENTH DAY ADvENTISTs.
North and West.

North and West.
Some Seventh Day Advcnlists or
RaptiSts in the South have been i'm
prisoncd for working on Sunday. They
are invoking sympathy because OF the
persecution which they suffer for
their religious belief. They are Jew
ish in their interpretations, and pre-
fer to observe the holy day Of Sinai,
rather than that Of Calvary: to oh
serve the Mosaic day rather than the
Lords Day. But that is not the
ground Of their otrense against the
civil law, and it is the confusion at
this point which causes the cry OF per-
secution. The ground OF civil legisla-
ton Is the natural and physical law
which requires n day Of rest during
the week. France tried to rest one
day in ten, instead of one day in
seven, but failed. That Is too long Il
week. There was nothing behind the
tenth day but a few politicians. 1t
could not be maintained. The only
rest day for labor, the only day that
can be reserved for the sanitary we'll.
being OF the body polite, is the day
that is already observed and cherished
by Il very large body of citizents. The
State has no concern whatever with
worship, except to protect parties in
their right to be free from disturb
ancc. Those who worship on Satur-
day must not be insulthd or m0lcsted
in any way. No civil or ecclesiastical
power would pretend to compel them
to worship on Sunday. The Law only
seeks a cessation Of all unnecessary
work on that day that is chosen as the
day Of rest. II people want two days
OF rest, the law has no objection. II
their conscience requires them to OBJ
serve another day OF rest than the
majority chooses, that involves some
hardship. The Jews and the Jewish
type of Christians may suffer loss for
conscience sake. but they should not
destroy the rest day of the nation.
Political, social, sanitary and ethical
laws all guard the day, apart from
religious considerations. We should
be very patient with conscientious
people, though they may seem cranky,
but religious sanctions have no place
in civil courts. The minority are il
duty bound To yield so far as to OBJ
serve a day Of rest when the State 81
directs.

sides. Drills for receiving the seeds
or onions arc then placed at right

method or the bed method, the seed

One-half to threc-fourth of an inch
deep. Sets are placed about Il hands
breadth apart, large onions (multipli-
ers) twice this width, and covered
to hide the bulbs. The onion
requires the richest. best prepared
soil in the field or garden, and sue
cess will always be in proportion
TO the attention given. Nothing short
of thorough and clean culture will do
for this plant. Culture should be fiat

MALVERN H. PALMER.

In the death of Mr.. Malvern ID. Pal
mer, which occurred at Asheville on
the 4th inst, while on a visit to that
city, the State has sustained the loss
of a useful citizen, and society that OF
a cultured gentleman. With the ex-
ception of having been appointed
State Bank Examiner by the present
Treasurer, he never sought or held
public position. His political prefer
ment, however, was almost certainty,
as he had a most laudable ambition,
was born leader, and had the gift to
draw men everywhere to him. He was
honest, brave, brilliant, amiable.
Mr., Palmer was born on the 18th OF
February, 1865, on the plantation OIL
his father, in Warren county, where
he lived until he entered the univer-
yersity of North Carolina, in January
1888. He was graduated at that instl-
tuition in the class of 1888, and during
the wear succeeding was engaged IN
teaching. After that time he com
menced the study of the law, was IL
| censed to practice by the Supreme
| Court of his native State in Septem
Der, 1890, and settled at Warreton
NC.
| In December, 1892, Mr.. Palmel
formed law partnership with MI
w. A. Montgomery, which lasted unit
the election of the latter gentleman q
the bench of the Supreme Court o
North Carolina.
On the 23d of December, 1891, n
married Jessie Key Arlington, daugh
ter of Samuel P. Arlington, OF the las
named place.
At the time of his death there wa
probably not better equipped iawye

Il sometimes appears that all posi-

aver the signature of Mr.. Il. f. Cutler,
of Washington:

lie replied and in his letter said: aft

whole of Beaufort county in my vest

some little Democratic jackanapes may
try 10 create prejudice against Mr.

that he was carrying Beaufort count!
