There will be no better legisla-
ton for Texas just now than that
which would make the duty on
Mexican cattle nearly if not quite
prohibitory, and put such a tariff
on wool as would sufficiently pro-
tect the Texas wool raiser against
the cheaper ranges and labor Of
the Australias and the South
American competitor. Protection
is what is needed, this and moth
ing more or less. That this is the
true policy is growing into &C
ceptance in this western section of
the state, and no issue that may
be sprung upon the people in con-
nection with the national cam
paign is going to obscure this one.

There is no certainty to what
extent a pan-American alliance
would be carried, in case the
delegates of the several republics
Of this continent and South Amer
lea meet in convention to agree on
mutual definition of their COM
munity of interests, but it is GER
tain that in such a convention a
broad and general expression
might be made as to mutual safe
guards against foreign interven-
ton, that would greatly promote
the security of the smaller states
and at the same time add to the
strength of the political and COM
mercial bonds uniting the re-
publics of the two Americas.

Raising Coffee in the South.

The Southern Cultlvator says: For
many years South Carolina has enjoyed
the reputation of growing successfully
the Chinese tea plant, from which an
excellent article of tea for table use is
secured. North Carolina is famous for
her Yupon tea. Not satisfied with her
laurels, South Carolina now aspires to
the honor of being known as coffee
producing section. Mr.. J. @. Bell
planted some trees, last year, on his
Cooper river place, and gathered a
bushel Of berries last fall. 1t is known
in Europe as German Coffee" and is
said TO be of fine quality and flavor.
Mr.. Bell will put several acres in the
coffee plant this year. His experiment
will be looked forward to with interest.
The tea plant has been grown success
fully for over fifty years in Georgia, and
we doubt not that some enterprising
Georgian will experiment on the coffee
plant.

MIR. Adams Methods.

A few weeks ago we published COM
munication from our valued correspond
ent, Mr.. n. J. M. Porter, of Monteverde,
in which he gave some interesting de-
tails of Mr.. Dudley W. Adams methods
of cultivating his grove, or rather treat
ing it. AS Mr.. Adams is admitted to
be one of the mostsuccessful orange cul-
turists in Florida, anything he does at
tracts attention, and the presumption is
that what he does is right, A corre-

starting grove I would not lie any
thing else. I would rather pay good
price for rough lemon than have sweet
stock given to me-"
examined part of the old grove that
was cut down and grated the first of
March last year. There were but few
trees that did not have from one to four
gratis that were from four to ten feet
high, nostly on lemon stocks. The
lemon sprouts that had grown up were
bent down as he had instructed me. The
ground around the trees was heavily
mulched with leaves, pinestraw, brush,
chunks and logs, about in the order
named, larger quantities first. No Guilt
walton was used, fertilizers1 were sown
broadcast and washed in by the rains.
In the fall of the year the ground in the
center of the space between the rows
from six to ten feet wide, was cleared
with the hoe of all weeds, grass, ETC.,
so as to form fire guard around each
tree.
On my way homeward passed one of
my neighbors at work in his grove. He
had succeeded last summer in starting
some buds on the Sprouts from stumps
that were twelve years old, and was now
cutting off all but one sprout or bud,
from two to four feet high.
Everyone knows that it takes years to
grow the body of tree, and the top can
only be grown in proportion to the body.
Why not take Mr.. Adams suggestion
and form the top from the base already
in the ground and save the years that
it will take to grow one? Low heads
save cultivation under the linn bs, shade
the ground, act as a partial mulch, pro.
tect the trunk from hot suns, frosts, etc.,
and make less labor to gather the fruit.
The days of training the tree "horse
high" are past.

The Southern farmer seems slow in
adopting crops adapted to Southern soil,
and climate. Among these are the mil
let's, Kafir corn, cow peas and sorghum.
One of the best tor forage and as a rem
ovatlng crop is the Florida clover, or
beggar weed.
It has been difficult matter to gather
and clean the seed of this plant and the
demand for the cleaned seed has ex.
ceeded the supply every year thus far.
1t is preferred to the cow pea in many
respects in orange groves, and is being
quite extensively used this year as
cheap method of covering the ground and
securing nitrogen for the grove.
The cleaned seed will germinate
quickly after the warm and wet weather
comes and a fine crop of fodder may be
secured by cutting it at blooming time,
and from the stubble will grow up rem
ovating crop which will seed the crop
for the following year, but the self seed
inmate before June. Less coarse stalks
can be secured by sowing seed more
thickly and in this manner finer hay
will be the result.
Six to eight pounds of cleaned seed, or
fourteen to fifteen pounds Of seed in the
hull are necessary to properly stock the
ground for renovating the soil; and nine
to ten pounds for hay, if clean, or double
that amount of seed in the hull. I ap-
pend the following description of the
plant and its cultivation.
AS hay plant, green forage and land
enricher it is unequaled by any plant
grown. 1t often grows to height of
ten feet, but heavy stand dwarfs the
height and makes better hay. Horses,
mules, COWS and sheep will eat nothing
else so long as they can obtain it.
Horses and mules leave corn and oats
untouched until the last bit of beggar-
weed hay has disappeared from the
manger. It will fatten stock quicker
than all the grain they eau eat. AS the
darkies of Middle Florida say "De old
broken-down hoss dat don't fatten on
beggarweed is past prayin' foh.' 1t
can be sown broadcast in the corn fields
at time of last working, and give crop
of hay far more Nutritious than the best
timothy hay from the North, or can
be sown as soon as warm weather be-
gins and cut twice.
The plant grows rank on good soil,
and shorter in thin, poor land. On the
latter it is we'll to make an application
of potash and phosphorlc acid. Its nj
trogen it will draw from the atmosphere
and store in the plant for future crops.
1t should precede cereal crops and pota-
toes for which it will supply rich sup
plies of PLANT food.
This plant has all the food and reno
waiting qualities of the red clover of the

North and will grow as profusely on
the thin, sandy lands of the South,
where the red clover will not. 1t is by
the use of such crops that the poor or
rundown farms of the South may be
brought to a producing capacity that
will remunerate the farmer.-George w.
Hastings in Times Union.
In a later issue of the Times Union
DR.. George Troup Maxwell writes:
read with interest what Mr.. Hast
ings said about what he calls, 1.-THE
Florida clover or peggar weed" and am
prepared to warmly indorse everything
he says as a green forage and fertilizer
but cannot approve his recommendation
yet as a hay plant.
Perhaps the first experiment ever
made of beggar weed for.hay was mine
in 1858. Tt grew on my plantation in
Leon county in great 1,profusion and lux
uriance, and when in full bloom | had
large quantity cut, dried. tied into
sheaves and piled in ricks. soon dis
covered that as soon as dry every leaf
feel on the slightest handling, leaving
only the stalks. This, if am not mis-
informed, has been the experience of
everyone who has tried to make hay of
beggar weed.
All that Mr.. Hastings says of beggar
weed as fer rtilizer, of the fondness OF
all plantation stock for it as food, and of
it's marvellous nutritious properties, IS
true 1t will be consumed both green
and dry, by such animals In preference
to any other forage, and, strange fact,
they prefer it even in decaying con-
dition to the best of hay or corn fodder.
On August %, 1853 there was terrific
cyclone which saturated my beggar-
weed hay and scattered the ricks. The
experiment failed but I noticed that
wheL the stock was turned loose into
the field in the fall they left everything
else and gathered about the fallen ricks,
eating the decayed beggar weed. I had
a load hauled to the stable and placed
the rotten stuff in the racks with sweet
perfectly cured corn fodder. My stock
did not touch the fodder until they con-
sumed every stick of the beggar weed.
If some plan of curing the weed, so
that the leaves will hold, can be devised
there is nothing comparable to it as
long forage.

spondent of the Eustis Lake region re-
gion recently visited Mr.. Adams grove
at Tangerine, and records this obser-
vation, and Mr.. Adams remarks as tol-
lows:
"Mr. Adams" said the correspond
enr, chow are you going to form head
on that tree?" 81 shall leave all of
them. want every leaf on the tree l
can get. 1t is just as easy to start the
head of the tree three inches under
ground as it is three feet above. If they
are all cut off but ,oneI will lose two or
three years in forming bearing head. !"
| said. care you going to prune the
tops off of these gratis or let them form
heads up high ?" "No, sir, the tops will
not form high. Last summer we pinched
in some of the tops to make them throw
out wide branches. II you notice, they
are bursting side. shoots all the way up.
You can't make an orange tree form a
high head unless you butcher it up -
"Mr. Adams, I have many stumps OF
ten to twelve-year-old trees that were
cut off low down, that have from one to
thirty sprouts. What is best now to do,
bud one and form the top from that, or
bud two or three and cut off all the
rest?"
"Bud two or three or more as you
have the time and patience to bud; do
not cut off any. Bud them over on the
ground; lay chunk of wood, limb of a
tree or anything to hold them down.
They will not grow much. The.leaves
will help to keep vitality in the roots,
and when your buds take, if the sprouts
are not too large, cut them partly off. so
they will bend. tell you, many groves
will be budded to death this summer.
The trees are using every effort to re-
cover their tops and form leaves to sus-
tain their roots. People will bud one or
two sprouts and cut off the rest, and lap
over the tops above the buds. Part OF
the roots will die for want Of nourish-
ment, and the trees will have another
setback. In the freeze of '86 had some
lemon trees frozen down, and part of
them I budded in the spring and sum-
mer, and part I let 80 for two or .three
years and then budded. The latter
formed the largest tops and came into
bearing first. They had regained their
vitality and when budded just whooped
them up. Do not be in too much hurry
to bud your grove"
"Mr. Adams, if l undertake to bend
the sprouts out from the stumps they
will break OFF, eff cow were to bend
them over they would, but you can do it
without. Catch the sprout close to the
ground with one hand and hold it firmly
and bend it with the other hand"
"What varieties are you budding"
"Last summer mostly Ruby, Navel,
Valencia Late, and few Majorca. The
naYels are budded on rough lemon. In
