Tho Natural Gas situation Here to n
Pittsburgh Newspaper Man.
The people OF Wheeling are getting
their natural gas for Is cents a thou
sand, while in Pittsburgh 1t costs the
consumer 291s cents net, snys the Pitts
burgh Commercial Gazette. The
Wheeling rate is established by con-
tract with the city which council has
lust refused TO modify to permit q
charge Of IS cents net, q compromise
between the Wheeling rate and the
Pittsburgh rate. It is somewhat re-
markable, however. that several hun-
dred people have petitioned for the
concession TO the gas company. George
d, Heard, OF Pittsburgh. general mama
ger OF the Natural Gas Company OF
west Virginia, speaking OF the matter
yesterday, said:
"The council OF Wheeling does not ap-
pear TO be convinced that natural gas
cannot be produced, transported ana
distributed at Is cents. But we find that
consumers are open to conviction, and a
large number OF them have signed Pc
tltion asking council 10 advance the
price. in the belief that the natural gas
business will diminish and finally cease
unless greater inducements are nelu
out to those engaged in II. The feeling
is nll the stronger now that there Is
prospect OF the resumption of the man
ufacture OF glass in the wheeling rae
tories, which passed into the hands of
the United States Glass Company three
years ago, and were soon thereafter
shut down by that company to the great
injury OF the entire community. This
resumption will be brought about by
the re-purchase of the factories by
wheeling parties, and as natural gas is
OF great value In glass making, they
naturally desire a continuance of the
business and an increase in the supply
sufficient 10 run the works. The ques-
tion is a vital one for Wheeling. but rs
the citizens are intelligent and enter
prising, have no doubt but they will
iinaliy see in which direction their In
terest lies"

Orange Trees.

The Ocala Baptist Witness says that
it's editor has had interviews with some
prominent orange culturists, and they
unhesltatingly express an abiding faith
in what the golden fruit will yet do for
our state. The press of the state takes
the same view, and all are hopeful of
the good times ahead. One leading
owner and cultivator of groves said to
the editor that orange groves would be
worth far more to the owners than ever
before. This, he said, in face of the
fact that his grove was cut off to the
ground by the freeze of '95. Without
groves the people of Florida can live;
with them they are independent aud
happy. May the days of independence
and happiness arrive unhindered by the
cold blast.
Orange growing will never be consid-
cred as important in Florida as it was
before the loss of the trees last year, as
the people have learned the important
fact that other crops are more certain
and some more renumerative than or
anges. Before the freeze of 1895 many
people thought it an impossibllity to ex-
ist in Florida without receipts from or
ange groves. They have been taught
different by adversely and experience.
A good bearing orange grove is always
desirable, but it is no longer an actual
necessity to comfortable living in
Florida.

Effect of Pollen on the Fruit.

Will the pollen have visible effect on
the fruit of the pistillate varieties? Is
the corncob of an unfertilized ear the
same size, shape and texture as the fer
tilted one? Are the grains of corn
changed in size, shape, color and flavor
the same season they are cross-fertilized?
Reasoning by analogy we arrive at the
plausible conclusion that the fruit is
affected by the pollen. Will practical
experience sustain our hypothetical pro-
position? My experience is that the
Crescent strawberry is Influenced by the
pollen it receives. At least the Crescent
fertilized by the Wilson has not the
same general appearance as the Crescent
fertilized by the Finch. Especially
color and firmness depend on the fer
tilizer. Other strawberry growers in
the county have told me that they are
certain that such is the fact. I have
also noticed that persons who have a
small plat of berries and grow twenty
five or more varieties, have fruit of bet
ter size, shape, color and frmness.

said to sell in Cuba at two Genus pound.
Several acres of garbapzos, or black
beans, have also been planted, and the
Cuban colony has settled down to make
themselves lat home. They present
quite a picture while employed at their
work, using almost entirely the never
failing machete, with which they cut
away the underbrush and do all weed
ing, using them more advantageously
than either the brush, hook or the scythe.
Since their coming, business in every
branch has greatly increased, and the
people feel that they have launched
work that will always rebound to their
prosperity and make Fort Meade one of
the most favored spots in Florida.

California Orange Season.

The orange shipping season is now
practically wound up. Tive exchanges
are figuring on the result of last years
shipment and estim ating the prospects
for the coming season. Up to date
about $500 carloads OF oranges and
lemons have been shipped during the
past season. These cars will average
more than the ordinary number of boxes,
running about 800 per Car. 1t is not
easy to make an accurate estimate of
the value of this fruit, but it is probably
very close to So. 500, 900, that is to say,
the value to the growers. This is big
falling off from the estimates made early
in the season, which went as high as
10000 carloads.
The outlook for q big crop the coming
season is very favorable, experts esti-
mating that if no unforeseen Gala nifty
should occur Southern California ought
to ship at least 10000 carloads of or
anges, and possibly even $4,000 carloads.
The trees have seldom been so heavily
loaded at this time of the year, and the

With the advent of the rainy season
many orange trees ere being set out

portion of the former orange belt. 1t III
improbable that such another freeze will
occur for generation if ever. 1t is good
policy to venture once more upon or
ange culture if done upon scale not in,
volving more upon each individual than
he can afford to lose. Not that he will
necessarily or ever probably lose it, but
it is better to be on the safe side. So
long as we thought that orange culture
was about the only sure and easy way
to make money, it was well enough to
venture largely. But now that we have
safer and surer crops, with better re-
turns, it is wise to re-enter upon orange
growing with some caution. But no
man who has an acre should fail to have
some orange trees upon it. - Tampa

Tomato Training.

For this test uniform plants of Liv-
ingstons Beauty were selected. All
were planted in the field on April Doth
and were subsequently treated alike ex-
cept that the plants of one portion, %
in number, were trained in trellis
made of two barrel hoops fastened, one
above the other, to narrow slaves driven
into the ground.
A second set of 80 plants had the main
branches tied to stake abouG d feet
TALL as the plants grew they were tied
as often as was necessary to keep the
fruits off the ground.
A third lot Of plants were supported
on brush, trim mings from the apple Or
chard. The brush was placed upon the
ground and the plants allowed to fall
over upon it at will
From the summarized results pre-
sented in the table we see that the
plants trained in the hoops were consid-
cradle earlier than the others, but that
this earliness was dearly paid for in a
lessened product for the season. Every
thing considered the brush gave the
best results. For tits less expensive to
provide, and the greatest number of
fruits as well as corresponding weight
render it best, unless the higher price
for extra early fruits will more than
compensate for the lessened product and
greater expense of the other forms of
training.

Punctures the Kola Boom.

The Miami Metronolls completely
punctures the boom Of the kola nut, so
far as Florida is concerned. Mr.. Ora
ham has given the matter a thorough
investigation, and thus sums up the
facts:
AS to the possibility of Florida rival
ing Africa IN producing the kola nut we
W i'll say that we have looked into the
subject exclusively, and it is out of the
question. The kola tree will only thrive
and produce good nuts in truly trop-
ical clim ate, where the atmosphere is
always hot and steamy. In Jamaica,
where the conditions are far more favor
able than Florida, and where expert
ments have been made on large scale.
both by the government and by private
individuals, the tree will grow, but the
fruit Is in appearance a poor apology
for the African nuts and is lacking in
the virtues which make it so valuable.
Coccanut trees exists IN Florida: they
are ornamental and the fruit is excel
lent for culinary purposes and home
consumption: but the climate does not
produce cocoanut rich oil, and they
cannot be used commercially for making
the oil. The Jamaica kola nuts are
being rejected by the best manufacture
ers of kola preparations, and the Flor
ida climate is too we'll suited as COM
Portable home for men to be what the
koIa tree must have in order to flourish;
our atmosphere is too clear and our
mean temperature too low to develop
first-class kola nut The tree can be
grown for ornamental purposes and
sufficient nuts be produced for home
consumption, but it can never compete
in the markets of the world with the
African nut.

but it can be allowed with excellent re-

in proportion of one pound of the linseed

for bowel disease that can be used, and
it is also excellent 10 the food of mott
