Florida and immigration.

A little over year ago the flow of
population from the North to the South
began to attract attention. The tide Of
immigration is now setting southwark
stronger than ever. Northern people
are settling in all parts of the South,
and in nearly every Southern state can
be found one or more colonies from the
North, prosperous and contented.
Florida is less developed than any
other Southern state. No state east OF
the Mississippi has as m UGH unoccupied
land, and none can furnish such great
variety of products. We do not believe
that any state in the Union, or any
country in the world. can duplicate the
best yields that Florida has made per
acre. Nowhere in.the worl d. will an acre
of land sustain as many people as in
Florida.
And yet Florida land is the cheapest
in the Union. Our State is one Of the
healthiest, and in educational advance
ment it is first in the South. We must
let these facts be known, and reap our
share of the benefits that the South is
enjoying from immgration.-Times-

following essentials: From eight to ten
per cent. phosphoric acid, from two to
three per cent ammonia, from three to
four per cent. potash. Apply at least
200 pounds of this guano to the acre.
Fifth-Do not permit your cotton
when open to remain in the field, but
gather the fleece as rapidly as circnm-
stances will allow. Care in this respect
will not only give q better grade of
cotton, but larger yield. Remember
that the light soil of Florida produces
staple only second to that grown on the
islands of South Carolina.

Peanut Vines for HaY.

AS the peanut belongs to the same
family Of plants as the clovers, says the
American Agriculturist, we might
naturally conclude that both Its foliage
and seeds contain similar nutritious
properties, and if cured while in sue
culent stage, makes excellent fodder for
farm animals. Experience and chemi-
Cal analysis have shown that the peanut
is most valuable forage plant, and in
the South, where it is most extensively
cultivated, peanut hay is a favorite
among many planters who keep COWS for
their milk, by whom 1t is considered
equal in value to the best made hay
from red clover. But as red clover does
not as rule succeed in the light soils of
the South, which are best suited for the
peanut, the latter hay is preferred,
being much the more valuable of the
two. Furthermore, two tons of peanut
hay can be obtained per acre from
almost any moderately rich soil, and
with very little danger of failure from
unfavorable weather or seasons. This
IS certainly an important matter, espec-
tally for southern dairymen who seek to
secure good flow of rich milk during
the winter months as we'll as in the
summer.
Our northern dairymen think that
there is nothing else quite so good for
giving their winter made butter q good,

Points on Cotton Culture.


For the benefit of the novice Mr.. H.
Curtis, agricultural agent Of the F. G. &
P. Ry., has issued the following:
We advise all who receive Sea Island
cotton seed to observe the follow ng
general rules.
First-By careful dropping one peck
of seed is sufficient to plant one acre of
land. This will give from six to ten
seed to the hill.
Second-Prepare your land thoroughly
before planting; if foul, two plowings
must be given it. Lay off the rows
from four to five feet apart with a
straight shovel, put your fertilizer in
this furrow, centrally, on the top of the
bed and drop the seed from eighteen to
twenty-four inches apart, according to
the fertility OF the land, the richer the
land, greater the distance; then cover
with board, followed slightly in the
centre. This board can be attached to
an ordinary shovel or sweep stock, or
the covering process may be done with
hoe, if preferred or more convenient.
When plants have attained from four to
six leaves, thin out to one plant in the
hill.
Third-Hoe and plow your crop fire.
quently, not permitting growth of
grass and weeds to gain the ascendancy,
and thereby injure your prospects for a
full yield. Cultivate shallow, using a
large sweep or light running cultivator
with hoe teeth. Remember that deep
blowing, as a rule, produces too much
wood or weed without corresponding
proportion of fruit. Notice carefully
for stalks which grow much more
vigorously than their neighbors, having
large course leaf, and il found pull
them up, as they are non-producers, or
produce very little cotton of an inferior
grade. If these stalks are allowed to
grow and mature they will only increase
this undesirable variety.
Fourth-Where the soil is not natur-
ally productive use freely home made or
commercial fertilizers. If the latter is
useds obtain that with a formula of the

A Good Sense Book for Sensible Planter ).

A Good Sense Book for Sensible Planter 8.
Those planters who wish the latest
information about Seeds, presented in
a straightforward, matter way,
will be gratified by the practical good
sense evidenced in Gregory's Seed Gaia
logue for 1896. The purpose OF this
book is to help the planter in the choice
of seeds best adapted to the conditions
of his particular locality, and it prob
ably contains descriptions of a greater
variety and more new varieties Of seeds,
than any other catalogue, it gives plain
useful information in place of chromos,
and hard facts instead of fanciful de-
scriptions. 1t is work worthy of the
reputation of the firm that publishes it,
and one that cannot fail to win the ap-
prevail and appreciation of all farmers
and gardeners. Any one who plants
seeds can obtain a copy free OF postage
upon application to J. J. II. Gregory &
Son, Marblehead, Mass, who are the
oldest and largest seed growers in New
England, and one of the best known in
the entire country. The business was
established in 1856. and it's growth has
been continuous and healthy. There is
probably no section of the country where
Gregory's "Home Grown" seeds are not
sold and planted.

Bordeaux Mixture.

In making the Bordeaux mixture the
following is considered the most expedi-
tious and effective plan: Suspend the
copper sulphate in a little cotton bag
inside the barrel on which the force
pump is mounted. Put in sufficient
water to dissolve it and see that the bag
is below the surface of the water. In
another vessel slack the lime, which
should be fresh and pure, in order to
neutrallze the acid of the copper soIu-
tion. Use plenty OF water and then
strain the lime through a coarse cloth
into the barrel containing the copper
sulphate. Fill the barrel with water.
BY adding four ounces of Paris green to
this mixture we have a combined fungi
eide and lnsecticide, which can be more
economically applied in combination by
one spreading. If the lime is insufficient
to neutralize the acid, a drop or two of
ferrocyanide of potassium added to a
small quantity of the mixture will cause
1T to turn brown. If this is the case add
lime water until no brown shows when
the test is applied. All these mixtures
should be applied in very fine spray.
No other mixture has been found equal
to the Bordeaux in preventing or arrest
ing various plant diseases. 1t has been
gradually improved since it was firsC
applied in the form of thick paste
with paint brush, until we have a
liquid which may be used in the finest
spray. But there is still later improve
ment, which claims the following ad-
vantages: That it is less hurtful to the
foliage, and less liable to choke the noz-
zle of the sprayer. 1t is the addition of
molasses which is said to produce the
change. The following are the proper
tions: To each four pounds and six
ounces of quick lime add four pounds of
molasses and twenty-five gallons of
water. The moasses is added to
thirteen gallons Of the water; or the re-
naming nine gallons of water, half is
ust d TO mix v it'll the lime after it is
Stacked, and the other half with the
copper suphate. All should then be
thoroughly mixed together. To save
time and labor, the plan CT mixing at
once in the barrel In which the force
pump is used, as above mentioned, is
recon mended.
