Florida the Place.

The Tampa Times remarks that these
are the days when the Florida farmer
looks around him and is satisfied with
the result Of his inspection. His crops
are in good shape, his shipments are
bringing him good money, his hens are
laying, his cows are dnding good range
and giving plenty Of milk, and if he has
attended to his business with fair de-
gree Of skill, he is money ahead since
this date last year. Reasons of this kind
show why men who farm in the inhos-
pitable regions of the north should come
into this balmy climate, where they can
accomplish so much more with the same
amount of toll. Besides certainty of
a good living the new corners will find
the best free school system in the south,
churches convenient and society good.
There is none of that cold indifference
here that prevails in the large northern
cities between man and man. An entire
neighborhood will always extend warm
welcome to good people, and interest
themselves to make 1t happy and pleas
ant for strangers. Yes, the Industrious
will always have the omforts of life in
Florida if nothing more.

Get Rid Of Them,

The cut worm is decided pest to the
garden. Apropos to the season Of gar
dening is the following list Of methods
of com batting them, epitomized by the
Florist Exchange:
Il. Placing around the plants fruit
or vegetable cans from which top and
bottom have been removed. The top Of
the can should be three or four inches
above the surface of the ground. The
ends can be unsoldered by throwing the
cans into fire.
q. Flowing the ground early in Sep
tenn Der, and not allowing the weeds to
grow.
"3. Flowing the ground late in the fall
or early in the spring, keeping the
surface free from weeds by cultivation,
and not putting a crop on same until
the middle of May or first of June. Dur
ing the first ten days of May fresh cut
clover, grass or weeds which have been
dipped in water containing Paris green
should be strewn over the ground each
evening.
~. Collecting the worms each even
ing while they are feeding This re-
quires good light and sharp eyes.
rs. Each morning hunting for the
fresh cut plauts.
&c Using light traps at intervals dur
ing the months Of June, August and
September. These traps are made by
filing tub or half cask two thirds full
of water, pouring a little kerosene over
the surface and hanging a lantern over
the tub"

duty in enticing the sap to circulate
freely, wither and die and are broken
off by the wind, and the capillary power
is transferred to other limbs above them.
In our artificial growing of shade trees
we cannot wait for Natures slow process,
but set out the biggest trees possible,
shorn to mere pole, with only few
twigs at the top to encourage the circu-
lation of sap. 1t takes twenty years for
such trees to regain symmetrical limbs
and foliage. If we should begin with
younger, smaller trees, they would soon
overtake these larger ones, with much
better chance for life. The pruning
should be confined to crooked, weak or
dead branches.

Pruning Shade Trees.

In lecture by Prof. Bostwick before
the Milwaukee Ethical Society, says the
Sentinel, he scored the tree mutilating
fends of our cities. They are not ex-
perts at the business, do not know the
names of half the trees whose limbs
they amputate, probably never worked
a day in nursery, but they can hack
and saw and trim shade tree into a
Jagged, lopsided condition. The owner
of the trees generally knows as little
about their proper handling as dc these
men, and lets them go to work because
the neighbors have had their trees
trimmed. Shorn of their limbs and
bleeding at every pore, mere ghosts of
their former selves, the poor trees re-
proach you as you return home. The
bill is paid, the branches are carted off;
you are sorry the deed is done-So is
your wife, SO are the trees! All summer
long they silently reproaCh you for the
injury done, and for the scars and wounds
for which you are responsible. The
most beautiful and symmetrical trees
that ever grew are found growing wild,
by ak or saw. AS the tree
grows and expands, the small branches
on the trunk that have performed their

Our Insect Enemies.

Insects are divided into two classes, viz. ,
biting and sucking kinds. The biting
kinds gnaw the wood and foliage and
chew their food, and therefore can be
killed by outward applications of poison,
but the sucking insects get their food
and do their damage by inserting their
long shouts through the outer coverings
into the top or soluble life foods of the
are called insecticides. Fungi are also
divided into two classes, such as
mlldews, pots and blights, which are
the parasitic fungi, simply threadlike
bodies such as are often seen in delicate
tracings over grape and other leaves.
You state that tomato are one of your
chief crops. Moulds, root blight, leaf
blight and black rot are the chief
enemies of the tomato plant and fruit.
To protect the tomato from these
enemies, William S. Powell, Of Mary
land, recommends to first soak your
seed in weak solution of the ammo
niacal solution of carbonate of copper,
then dry and sow. AS the plants put
forth the third leaf spray them in the
beds with the same solution. When they
are set out pour around each plant one
half pint of the same. This answers as a
watering and impregnates the ground
and prevents root blights, which cannoC
be cured by spraying the foliage. This
application also induces rapid starting
of the plants growth, caused by the
volatile ammonia the solution contains.
Then spray until the fruits begins to
color up. 1t is we'll to remember, damp and
cloudy weather induces diseases in
plants. Therefore, in such seasons, or
when constant rains occur, the spray
pump must be kept going. -Coleman's

Fertilizers in Horticulture.
st. Thomas, Fla.

Pansies were treated with muriate of
potash and made 800 blooms and with
sulphate of potash making 1868 blooms.
On carnations, sulphate Of potash with
sui phate of ammonia gave the best
results, being closely followed by the
same form of potash combined with
bone black, while the poorest results
were from sulphate and nitrate Of
potah, Sulpoate Of potash and dried
blood and m uriate of potash in excess.
Observations on carnations for 81 weeks
gave best results for nitrate of potash,
second and dissolved bone black the
made in this line, three have been in
favor Of bone black, one of sulphate Of
ammonia and one Of nitrate Of potash.
Sulphate Of soda has stood second in
each one. The nitrate Of soda and
murlate of potash in every case where
the crop has tendency to mildew have
given poor results, owing, probably, to
their power Of holding moisture near
the surface of the soil, In the growth
of the rose, lettuce and carnation
moist atmosphere, or very moist soil
in contact with the plants, especially at
night, must be avoided if success is ex-
pected, and therefore such fertilizers
as nitrate of soda and muriate of potash
would aggravate any such condition.
