The Republican convention at Min
neapolis. In 1882, was plainly In the pos
session Of friends of Harrison, although
a hne combination for his defeat was in
the wind. Blaine curtly resigned his
office of secretary Of state after the del
egates were assembled. and Harrison
as curtly accepted il. When Blaine's
name was presented the cheering con-
tinued for nearly half an hour. and
doubtless such a scene was never before
witnessed in convention. An attempt
was made to rival 1t when Harrison was
presented, but 1t was forced and fell
short of the Blaine demonstration by
several minutes, which was thought TO
Dc quite important. Harrison was
easily nominated, but Blaine seen.ed
dangerous candidate for time, and

He is the most representative figure

there Is none other to take it's place.
He Is important because he embodles
the most active forces of the hour; be-
cause he Is their tool; their vehicle; but
not because he more thoroughly knows,

THE KAOLIN INDUSTRY.

The Jacksonville Citizen of a late date
gives most encouraging account of the
Florida Kaolin industry. The mine and
factory for drying and preparing the clay
for the shipment north is situated at Ed
gar, on the Florida Southern Railroad
1t seems too bad that this material can
not be manufactured into the finished prod
uct in our own state. This would give
employment to very large number of
people and at the same time doubtless
yield larger profit to the owners of the
mine
The Citizen says that the kaolin from
this mine is of a very fine quality. as ex-
hibited in the dishes manufactured from it,
and so far the orders received have greatly
exceeded the output. With six presses at
work two car loads per day are sent out.
Large numbers of orders are being re-
ceived daily.
Some experiments are soon to be made
with the fine sand from the washer and
launders, and there seems to be good rea-
son to believe that it will be excellent in
the manufacture of sand soap.
The number of hands employed at the
factory has been greatly increased during
the past year, and is still increasing, with
an apparent tendency toward more white
laborers.

and the little Miami river and from the
upper windows the view is magnificent.
There is very little done yet in the fruit
raising business but the range is great
and in the course of few years many va
rieties of trees will be put out that cannot
be grown successfully any where else north
Of there.
The tomato and early vegetable growers
of the west coast will find quite formidable
competitors in the growers of this section
now that they have quick transportation.
A greatly increased acreage will be put out
and everything points to greatly increased
population during the next year or two.

Remedy for Flies on Cows.

The kerosene emulsion is the best pro-
lection against flies. It is made by dis
solving a pound of common soap, sliced,
in a quart or two of hot water, then
adding twice as much kerosene. Shake
we'll until like smooth cream and keep
it for stock. For use dilute with two or
three quarts Of water and sponge it on
the COWS or horses as well. It will keep
its effect one day only, and must be re-
peated.-New York Times.

Mexico's Orange Crop.

The New York Fruit Trade Journal
says that Mr.. A. W. E. Smythe, of Or
lando, one of the Oldest orange shippers
of Florida, has just returned from
Mexico, where he has been purchasing,
in advance, all the fruit he could upon
the trees. He. says that Mexico's crop
this year will be about five hundred
thousand boxes, and that it will aggre-
gate about six hundred carloads. The
average price paid is 81 per box. on the
trees; but the fruit is far inferior to
Florida.

Getting Rid Of Stumps.

We take the following from Hard
wood:
"It often occurs in logging operations
and in laying out lumber yards that
troublesome stumps have to be removed,
often at the expense Of good deal of
time and money. To dig and chop them
out is tedious process, and to use
stump puller is not always practicable,
and in airy event costly, besides leaving
large holes to fill and grade over. The
English and French have commenced
using method not only cheap, but ex-
ceedingly simple and effective.
"The only appliances necessary are a
shovel little dry kindling and sheet
iron cylinder large enough 10 slip down
over the larger stumps, the top cone
shaped and terminating in a collar in
which one or more lengths of six or
eight-inch common stovepipe may be
fitted. A hole is dug between the roots
on one side Of the stump and partially
under it, large enough to start fire
with the kindling. After the fire is
once started the iron cylinder is slipped
over the stump, the stovepipe is added,
and the whole arrangement acts as d
stove, burning the stump out completely.
cit is said that if the stumps are old
and anyway dry, and the weather is dry,
they will burn easily without the cone
shaped top and stovepipe. 1t is also
claimed that where the stumps are
green, half gallon of kerosene or crude
petroleum poured over the stump an
hour or so before lighting the fire will
facilitate matters greatly; but in this
case the top and pipe do vastly more,
making, as they will, strong draught

although ten years old. My fence was burned
down by my not thinking it hardly right so pay
out good money for the care of a worthless thing.
Being nonresident suppose the care received
was not quite what one would do himself Now
hear that the trees are sprouting out from the
roots and that they will soon be as large as be-
fore the freeze. The question is will it pay me
to rebud those that are on sour stocks, get out
the maiden cane, rebuild the fence and comm ence
over again? My grove is fernando county
J.J. G.
Newark, N. j.
The only way we know of to eradicate
maiden cane is by constant plowlug and
cultivating during the dry season or
raking out all the roots when it is plowed
and then when blade shows itself dig
it out com pletely. A free use of salt
would kill the grass but at the same
time it would kill what remained of
your orange trees. The roots of the trees
extend beyond the ring you propose to
make and would absorb the poison.
1t will pay you to rebud your grove if
you are able to have it properly cared
for and fertilized from now on. If not
do not spend another cent.

| Editor Florida Agriculturist:
| Can you give me some needed information
either personally or through your correspond
ence column? Why is it that the Smooth Cayenne
pineapple plants are so much more costly than
| the Abbaka and Golden Queen, and what special
points has the Enve City over other varieties?
FRED. GoTTFRIED.
| Milwaukee, Wis.
On receipt of the above we wrote to
mum Der of gentlemen interested in pine
apple culture and received the following
replies:
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Replying would say that the funda-
mental reason why the Smooth Cayenne
is so expensive relatively, is that the
plant produces no slips, in the usual &C.
cee lance of the term, and but few suck
ers, as com pared with the Abbaka and
Queen, and also perhaps in part owing
to the susceptibility Of the former to dis
ease, which has prevented the thousands
of this variety imported of late years and
widely distributed, from producing as
much increase as they would have done
had they all thrived.
The Enville City is very fine fruit IN
quality and appearance; it is quite dis
tlnct in character, being uniformly tall
and dark, and free from slips or knobs
which almost invariably disfgure the
Abbaka apples. 1t cannot be said to be
superior in flavor to the latter, any more
than catalogue can be said to be SUI
perior in flavor to watermelon, for 1t is
simply matter of taste, and while it is
a smoother, more salable apple in ap-
pearance, it does not run as large, and is
not quite so vigorous and hardy plant.
Altogether it is an open question whihc
is the best all round, but the Enville be-
ing much scarcer brings the highest
price in the plant market.
| JOHN B. BEACH.
Miami. Fla.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:
First, the dem and for the Smooth Cay
enne pineapple plant is CRATER than the
supply. Second, the Abbaka will repro
duce itself by suckers and slips ten to
one as fast as the Smooth Cayenne.
Third, for fine fruit and good ship
per the Golden Queen is not to be COM
pared with either the Smooth Cayenne
or Abbaka.
Have not fruited the Enville City vet.
Will send you an Enville City in few

| Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Replying to yours of I'd as to "why the
Smooth Cayenne pineapple plants are so
much higher in the market than Abbaka
and Golden Queen"
The Smooth Cayenne has only suckers
and does not have slips around the base
of fruit as the two latter. The Abbaka
will produce from twenty to fifty slips,
as many suckers as the Smooth Cayenne,
while the Smooth Cayenne does not sup
ply any slips, the same is true of the
queens; hence they, the Smooth Cay
enne, are slower in increasing and the
demand for Abbaka and Golden Queen
are not now as great in proportion to
