$500 Dollars for a Name.

This is the sum we hear the Salzer
Seed Co. offer for suitable name for
their wonderful new oats. The United
Saates Department of Agriculture says
Salzer's oats is the best of 800 varieties
tested. A great many farmers report a
test yield of 200 bushels per acre last
year, and are sure this can be grown
and even more during 1895. Another
farmer writes us he cropped 112 bushels
of Salzer's Marvel Spring wheat on two
and one-half acres. Atsuch yield wheat
pays at SOC. per bushel. One thing we
know and that is that uSalzer is the
largest Farm Seed grower in the world
and sells potatoes at So so per barrel.

der. waiting for the glut to pass over
before shipping, while hundreds of boxes
still hang on the trees.
His grove of orange trees, which has
not been plowed in for more than year,
is already putting forth leaves and
blooming, with prospect of an immense
yield this year. Of course his guavas
and other tropical fruits were killed, but
his good wife says that she has enough
jelly and marmalades put up to last
year or two, before which time another
supply will be on hand.
Cow peas, sweet potatoes, corn, straw
berries, lines, lemons, and all kinds of
garden truck are grown on ten acres of
land, outside of his orange grove, which
is capable of producing from 1000 to
1000 boxes year under favorable con-
ditions, all OF which contribute to add to
the possibilities of diversified agricul-
ture, even on comparatively small
scale, if properly managed.
No matter what may happen, Mr..
Steacy with his present mode of oper-
ations, is reasonably certain of a constant
supply. While he has lost no faith in
orange culture, and, with others in this
part of Florida, thinks more of bear
ing orange grove now than ever, he
nevertheless believes thoroughly in
branching out.

How the Pioneers Started.

and there are many other similar ones.
Mr.Wilbur H.Steacy, of Thonotosassa,
Hillsborough county, came to Florida
from Lancaster county, Pa, just after at
tanning his majority, about eighteen
years ago, and after looking South Flor
ida over, settled by choice at Thonoto-
sassa, taking up a homestead of 100
acres near the famous Lake of Flints.
His stock in trade over and above his
homestead consisted of a good double
barrelled shotgun and about 800 in
American currency
The first thing he did was to build
good substantial log house, hewing the
logs after the manner of his grandfathers
in Pennsylvania, The interstices he
plastered nicely with mortar, put in a
good frame and glass windows, covering
all with homemade shingles. This gave
him a cool house in summer and warm
house in winter. The structure still
stands with but few of the ordinary
traces of the tooth of time, bidding fair
Fortunately for the settler in Florida,
almost any kind of protection during
any of the twelve months of the year
will answer sufficiently for "camp life"
until a dwelling is secured.
At that period in the early settlement
of Thonotosassa there was no sawmill
within fifteen miles.
The next step was to clear five acres
of land for an orange grove, to which an
acre or so each year was added until he
had ten acres cleared. To this day this
is all the cleared land Mr.. Steacy has
for diversifYlng his crops. Soon after
building he sent to Pennsylvania for an
adopted sister, whom in process of time
he married, and never was selection
more advantageously made.
Before coming to Florida he had
learned the art of taxidermy, and for a
few years interspersed his fruit and land
labors with gathering choice specimens
of rare plumed birds for Northern mar
kets, Not having capital to introduce
new sources of supply as rapidly as he
desired, he commenced in small way
to add cattle, bees, hogs, sheep, goats,
and poultry.
AS budding oranges was little prac
ticed at that time, Mr.. Steacy waited
nearly ten years before he began to real
ize much from his Seeding orange trees.
IN the meantime his poultry business
had grown to large proportions. He has
at present about 400 hens of the choicest
of breeds, which alone are sufficient to
yield good support, while his we'll
stocked apiary supplies annually for
market over and above family needs
more than a thousand pounds of the
richest of honey. His flock of sheep
which increases fifty per cent each year
without a dollars cost except for occa
sional attention, nets him in wool aid
mutton snug sum of money. His we'll
cultivated garden gives ample diy ersity
to his table.
To his Seeding orange trees, which
yield from five to twenty boxes Of choice
oranges per tree each pear, he has added
several acres of budded trees, which are
already bearing in promising proper
tiOns.

Floating Honey Works.

Frank B. Correll, of Titusville, Pa, is
interested in a project for esta blishing a
large apiary in Florida.
A novel thing about the business is
that the company intend locating their
colonies of bees on large 1atboats on the
Indian river, Florida, and will move the
bees from place to place to take advan-
tage of the luxuriant growth of different
honey-producing flowers in different lat
itudes of the State. For instance, pen
nyroyal blooms very abundantly well
south in early spring; later on some later
flowers further north, including the or
ange blossoms.
An advantage of this arrangement, be-
sides placing the bees within reach of an
abundance of different flowers, saves the
bee from exhausting large part of his
strength in flying and thus enables him
to devote his attention strictly to busl-
ness. Again different sections of the
State are especially favorable in CHM attic
conditions; the gases in the air furnish
more abundantly at some places than at
others the elements necessary for the
production Of honey.
Honey growing, like so many other in
dustries, seems to be undergoing a
change in that it is being systematized,
scientific, positive methods being substi-
tuted for crude, cut-anddried ways of
doing.
Mr. Correll expects to realize three or
four hundred per cent from his Florida
nvestment.-Grape Belt.
