An attempt will be made to have
a bill passed in the forth coming
Legislature, abolishing the Office OF
county auditor in f~irst-class
counties. The measure will IN
d%onbtedly get the entire support
of those Legislators who believe in
strict economy in state, county and
Legislative matters. To abolish
the office is not the only thing that
will be embodied in the bill to that
effect. While it does away with
enc county office it creates another
by segregation, and cuts down ex-
penses in that enc line almost rs
ger cent. The intention is to
seperate the now double office Of
county clerk and recorder and
make each independent Of the
other, thereby creating q county
clerk and a county recorder. The
clerk viii have the least work of
the two Office holders, and it is pre-
posed to incorporate into his de-
partment that OF county auditor.
The clerk and recorder now receives
a salary Of 50, 600 per year. That
of the auditor is So, 600, making a
total of IS, 600 Under the new
scheme proposed the clerk will re-
cieve but 81, 800, and the recorder
the same.
The above is not the only county
matter which is likely to come up
for consideration by the legislature.

more important, and it is void of

of the method we have used. After
cutting off the bud with some wood
attached, cut slip of bark with
some wood attached to it also down
about one inch, leaving it still at
tached at the lower end. This cut
must be made about the size of the
cut bud, so that the bud will fit even
ly over the cut place. Part of the
loose slipshould be cut off and the
bud slipped down between the wood
and slip. Tie the bud tightly with
raffia or corn shuck. We have had
success with this method in January
The buds soon knit firmly and can be
forced out in spring. This method
can be used to advantage in dry
weather when the bark refuses to
slip, or on stock which failed to take
when budded in the usual way during
the summer. We have budded roses
and many kinds of trees in this way
successfully. This method greatly
prolongs the season of budding and
will to that extent somewhat lessen
the cost of the work.-R. III. Price,

Surface Eva poratson in Orchards.


Professor ZumbrO, of Riverside,
California, recently addressed the
East Side Horticultural Club on Sur
face Evaporation in Orchards. He
had been making some experiments
with portions of soil saturated with
water and then weighed daily to de-
te1nnine the loss by evaporation dur
ing the heat of summer. The results
are somewhat surprising. Fifty-nine
pounds of earth containing 18pounds
water lost in four days from Aug. g.,
5.25 pounds of water. The earth
was cultivated August IS, and dur
ing the next day lost only a
quarter of pound of water. Many
other experiments were detailed
tending to the same conclusions.
Professor Zumbro stated that the
best amount of water in the soil for
the growth of leguminous and other
plants had been fixed by experiment
at 40 per cent of the amount required
for saturation. About 100000 pounds
of water will saturate one acre one
foot deep. Forty per cent of this
would be 100000 pounds. The ordi-
nary allowance for one acre, is of a
miners inch would be 125,800 pounds.
But the best proportion of water for
citrus trees may not be the same as
for smaller plants, and experiments
have not yet determined it.
Among other interesting facts, he
stated that while air-dry earth at 100
degrees Fahrenheit contained 2.8
per cent of water, the SOIL six inches
deep and six feet from orange trees,
was found to have only 81 per cent
in August, 26 days after irrigation.
Trees that were showing by willing
their need of water had at one foot
deep from four to six per cent of wa
ter, and at 11A feet 61s per cent, the
soil dry and crumbling.
To prevent waste of water by sur
face evaporation, Professor Zumbro
suggested-frst, sub-irrigation, de-
hvering the water below the surface;
second, cultivating as soon as posi-
BILE after irrigation, to break up the
compactness of soil that favors capil-
larry action, which brings up the wa
ter to the surface; third, to keep the
surface between the burrows from
getting wet, by making the burrows
deep; fourth, to prevent the forma-
ton of hard stratum just below the
cultivation, and this, he thought,

Florida the Invalld's Hope.

One of the steamship companies of
England is about to make a novel de-
parture. 1t has ordered a steamship
to be built for the ''sole use of inva-
lids" 1t is to be vessel of the larg
est class, fitted up with a luxury
heretofore never attempted, to be
devoted entirely to the service of
wealthy sufferers of that class who
are inflicted with pulmonary troubles
and who can only prolong life in the
dry, salubrious climate of perpetual
summer. Convalescents from other
wasting diseases are to be accepted.
An eminent corps of medical men
will be on board, and the cuisine will
be in charge of chefs trained to the
delicate task of ministering to the
refined and capricious taste of inva-
lids. The vessel will make it's initial
trip next autumn and winter in the
Mediterranean.
This sounds very nice, but it is an
established fact that the invalid can
find more comfort and relief in the
atmosphere and sunshine of Florida
than elsewhere, especially those suf-
fering with pulmonary complaints.
A continuous residence for several
years in this state has invigorated
broken down constitutions and pro-
longed life There are living evil
dences of this to be found all over
this state. The climate of Florida
will do more for the invalid than all
the boats and high-toned methods of
living in existence. Another thing
not enjoyed elsewhere is that dying
is easier here. When it comes to that
people here sink to rest like a tired
child falls to sleep on it's mothers
arm.-Jacksonville Metropolis.
