st. Cloud Farm.

A visit to St. Cloud at this season
well repays the visitor and reveals to
him the possibilities, under proper
treatment, of the productions of Flor
ida soil.
Under the management of Mr.. Fer
dinand Green, most affable and
pleasant gentleman, and his compe-
tent assistant, S. L. Lupfer, the farm
is now kept in most excellent condi-
ton, and the standing crops is the
highest testimonial to their skill and
ability as agrculturists on the most
scientific plans. AS far as the eye can
reach, with it's tops IA to Is feet high
waving in the breezes, standing so
thick that one can scarcely walk
through it, about 400 acres in all, is
the crop of sugar cane, giving to the
beholder the appearance of a solid
mass of green foliage. A drive
through the farm shows the cane to
Oe of uniform size and a good aver
age throughout. The crop this year
is COI1SluSToO one Oh Un0 DCSG UndU mas
been produced on the farm.
Besides the cane there are about 40
acres in peaches which, although the
trees we're set back in the spring of
'95 bore fair crop this year and is
expected to yield abundantly next
year.
Casava and ramie produce well and
may be seen with all the luxuriance
of magnificent growth in different
sections of the farm.
The bananas that cluster around
same of the cottages have borne well
this year, presenting a most pleasing
picture of life in the tropics and one
might well imagine himself while
viewing them in Cuba or Sunny Italy.
The men are now engaged in over
hauling the machinery, setting up the
railroad track and cars, and putting
everything in order for the sugar
grinding which will begin about De-
cember.-Valley.

| Plough deep Is the motto Of the far

How many so called farmers merely
scratch the surface Of the carth, and
commit the seed to the poorly prepared
ground, and when the harvest time
comes wonder why they do not make q
good crop. We take the following from

Mulch On Peaches.
Meehan's Moathly.

There are many ulations o.
straw, grass. hay, corn stalks, etc., tina
can be used for mulch, and If utilized
would become very profitable. During
the season of 1893, after my straw berry
bed was through fruiting, 1 raked the
straw of, which had been used for
mulch, and scattered 1t around some
peach trees near by, covering about the
same space as the branches, to the
depth of two inches. This was done
about July 10th. thus aiding the ripen.
ing of the fruit for the same season.
But the greatest result was noticed
last season, when the peaches were
ready to gather. They were smooth
of large and uniform size, while those
on adjoining trees were small and in
ferior. No other reason can be assign
ed for the superior fruit but the mulch.
The soil under the trees where the
mulch had been applied, although at
the close of the extended drouth, was
loose aud moist, while the soil under
the other trees was baked very hard,
and cracks several inches deep were
visible. Was it the fertilizing proper
ties in the straw applied that caused
the difference? Certainly not, since
straw protected the Strawberries dur
ing the winter of 1892 and 1893, before
it was applied to the peaches; # there
had been any available plant food in It,
it certainly would have been taken up
by the berries.

In feeding charcoal to poultry, break
it up in pieces the size of wheat and
mix several handfuls with the bran
and ground oats or soft feed given in
the msrning. In spring it is especially
beneficial, as the blood needs toning
up. Burnt corn on the cob is also fed
for the same purpose and answers well,

to plant plenty so as to have it in abun-

weighed 6 of mixed breeds, embracing
several high grade Asiatics and com

This gives the minorcas ounces or
