church-yard groups were gathered,
girls and boys, young married couples,
old folks who had seen their grand
children grow to be men and women
and die. And, waiting in the morning
sunlight OF a pleasant winter day,
they saw their pastor coming along the
frost-hardened road with his wife upon
his arm. They came nearer, and they
saw how frail her form had grown; but
still her veil was down, and they could
not see her face until standing amongst
them, she put it back, and then-yes,
breaths were held, and all eyes riveted
upon those features; and there was a
hush, unbroken, until child's voice,
clear as dropping silver, arose upon the
air: "Oh, mother, look; the lady is just
as beautiful as ever" And then. though
it was Sunday, and in New England,
and beside church,a cheer aroseupon
the air, and men tossed their caps on
high, and women sobbed; she sobbed
also, beautiful Rosa Redlaw, thanking
God for all his love, and thanking Him
also, as woman must, that He had
not taken from her the charms in
which her husband took such tender
pride, and Of which, for his sake more
than for her own, she was also just
little proud. though she had laid that
pride aside, knowing we'll her danger,
when she went forth upon her mis-
sion.
They never spoke against the min
ister's wife after that in Appleblow.
Amongst them she lived and moved as
might some loving queen, and dwelt
in the old parsonage, beautified as the
temple of some saint might have been,
until her youth changed to maturity
and her maturity to age; and there you
may see her yet, and her husband also,
though his hair, like hers, is of frosted
silver. And his grandson fills the pull
pit, for Appleblow loves the race OF
Redlaw, and will not part with them.

have resulted favorably. In fact, Messrs.
Lehman say that there is no reason why
the corn should not be grown as we'll in
Florida as elsewhere, and that if the
farmers will devote small acreage to
it, the returns will pay them better than
anything else. What seed they do not
wish to replant can be fed to the chick
ems, for which 1t is excellent, and the
corn can be sold at good price for
manufacture into brooms. Lehman

tried is to dust the foliage when wet
with dew with air-slacked lime, using 1t
quite freely. The slug is a soft-bodied
thing, and the lime curls him up in short
order. @. w. Prescott, of Concord, one
of the most successful growers in this
state, writes 1.-THE Farm and Home'k
that he fights the beetle with chickens.
Two men-one at each end-take a
board, ten to twelve feet long, and, carry
ing it in front of them, brush the beetles
from the foliage in the early morning,
while they are in a seml-dormant state.
Chickens are taught to follow, and they

quires few minutes for each tree, the
work of irrigating the grove is quickly
done.
During the usual spring drouth, when
the fruit is just setting, it will some
times drop badly; and IN the fall, q
heavy shower after protracted drouth
will cause the oranges to crack open and
in short time drop off. This is, to a
great extent, prevented by irrigation.
Forty acres of the grove are covered by
the irrigatlng plant, and this portion,
although two or three years younger
than the remainder of the grove, gave
good proof of the value of irrigation, be-
fore the great freeze of last year. The
nOn-irrigated trees, although looking
well and blooming as full as the irri-
gated trees, did not bear or hold the
fruit nearly as we'll. All of the trees
were killed to the ground by the freeze,
but they sprouted well last summer. and
are now looking thrifty and showing
new growth. Some fruit is expected in
two years, AMI paying crop in five
years.
Besides the orange grove, there is On
the place an orchard of three hundred
peach trees in full bloom, four hundred
LeConte pear trees, and five hundred
plum trees. The lawn, which is we'll

windmill. The water is drawn from
the lake, and when the tank is full, an
overflow pipe conducts the water to a
second tank. some distance from the
first. The water from the tanks can be
conducted through the irrigating pipes
if desired. If, from lack of wind or any
other cause, the windmill fails to keep
the tank filled, it can be filled by the
engine in a short timer. E. Merry

The Asparagus Beetle.

AS several Florida gardeners that we
know Of, and doubtless many others,
have put out asparagus beds this sum-
mer, the following remarks about the
asparagus beetle, one of the greatest pests
of the product, may prove of value. The
article is by Mr.. A. w. Cheever, and is
clipped from the New England Farmer.
The asparagus beetle was noticed
many years ago in the vicinity OF New
Jersey. 1t has been working northward
ever since. 1t has done much damage
on Long Island and in southern Connec-
ticut, but has been followed by para
site enemy that greatly aided farmers
in keeping it under control.
At one time it was hoped that the par
asite would exterminate the beetle, but
such is not the course of nature. Para
sites suppress, but never exterminate.
No war was ever known where all the
combatants were destroyed. The beetle
has been doing more or less damage in
the vicinity of Boston for a half-dozen
years or more.
1t is not difficult to fight in old beds,
as cutting the shoots destroys most of
the eggs that are laid during the cutting
season. The first crop of beetles grown
the year previous) usually gets through
mating, eating and egg-laying by the
middle of June, when peas are ready for
picking. My rule is to cut asparagus
till the last beetle is dead, then the new
stalks will be free from eggs, and will
have no slugs.
On new beds the case is different.
Cutting here is not allowable, so the eggs
hatch and the young slugs must be de-
stroyed. If careful gardener has a
careless neighbor, the former will have a
hard fight. al the second crop of beetles,
appearing late in summer, will be sure
to visit him in large numbers.
The best way to destroy slugs have

One of the largest irrigated orange
groves in Florida is owned by Mr.. J. H.
Jordan, A!achua county. The fenced
track consists of 200 acres, 60 of which
are in orange grove. Its engine house
stands near the edge of small lake,
which furnishes the water for irrigation.

pipes terminate in standpipes, to
which are attached the hose for apply

Intelligent Farming.

that there is an economic side to all
agricultural operations that needs to be
carefully considered. Just as it seems
rather absurd for cotton planter to
produce large crop of cotton, expect
ing to sell it at to S cents per pound,
and at the same time buy Nebraska corn
at 35 or 40 cents per bushel, in like
manner it is unwise for any intelligent
farmer to buy anything away from his
farm that he can produce thereon with
reasonable economy. The production
at home of all. or as many as possible,
of the supplies that are needed for home
consumption on the farm becomes an
insurance against disaster that cannot
be got IN any other way. With an
ample amount Of food supplies for the
family, employees and live stock, there
comes degree of independence that is
impossible with the farmer who has to
buy his meat and bread and stock sup
plies.
When once the southern farmer m axes
a sure thing of producing at home prac-
tically all the supplies needed, there
will then come to him the knowledge of
the ease of prod l. cling an excess of these
supplies, which are generally in good
demand in the leading southern cities,
and which will ordinarily command
good prices. Enormous quantities of
butter come from the northern states
into the south, when the very reverse
should be the case. We have grass in
abundance, grass in excess, so our cot
ton and sugar planters say, and yet we
cries, the product of western COWS, from
pastures that cannot compare with such
as are possible with us.
Lard is another commodity that is
brought into The south very largely
from the western states. 1t is so ex-
tremely easy to have superabundance
of this commodity that it really seems
curious that we should accept from
Chicago lard compounds made up of
cotton seed oil, soap stock, water and
other even less desirable elements. For
half century one of the leading feat
ures of the great steam boats coming
down the Mississippi river has been the
immense quantity of poultry that were
brought to New Orleans for distribution
to consumers. There is nowhere on
earth where poultry can be raised with
greater success, or with greater econ
omy, than on the gulf coast, and why
we should buy single chicken or turkey
from northern ATTITUDES is impossible of
explanation. except by saying that our
people are Indifferent to such small
economies.
We might go on and extend this list,
but the point that we desire to make is
that when our farmers and planters
shall produce at home all Of these things
that they want, they will quickly begin
to produce surplus that they will want
to sell, and they will build up market
for themselves in these products and
will add largely to the wealth of our
country. Farmer.

The Unit Rule.

A month ago, the SPECTATOR expressed its
opposition to the adoption of the unit rule in
the Democratic State Convention regardless
Of which party should have the majority
that it was wrong for the majority TO deny all
representation to the minority-that it va
wrong both in principle and policy and its ex-
ercise would be of great damage to the party.
The argument for the unit rule by Daniel and
others is not satisfactory, for as the hlder-
Appeal says, the plea in justification of the
unit rule that it will enable Virginia to exert
influence in the national convention of the
democratic party, does not meet the objection
that 1t is undemocratic to deprive the minority
OF proportionate representation. The sugges.
tion.that the delegation from this State shall
cast the solid vote of Virginia for free silver
platform and free silver candidate means
that the votes of the minority shall be appro
priated by force to increase the strength of the
majority. How such proposition can be
maintained in the name of Jeffersonian dc.
mocracy is amazing to the last degree.
