AND THIS is LOVE.

A little bliss,
A world Of ruth and pain
And this Is Lowell And this Is Lowell
Maybe Hiss,
And then the sigh again
And Is this all Of lover
An hour of bliss,
An age of cropping loss
But it is love! But it is Lowell
So choose we this
Tho dragging years be dross
To this remembered love.
Aye, though the hand
OF fate smite hard today,
Give all for Lowell Give all for Lowell
Though sea and land
Sunder our weary way,
Naught is so sweet as love.
Beyond the dark
That bounds tho world we know
May dwell our Lowell May dwell our
Lowell
Ono tiny spark
Will kindle to glow
All heaven if lit by love.

The Peanut is not a Goober.

In your issue of the 31st ult. is an
interesting article on the immense i'm
portance the peanut has attained with
all classes of society. 1t is almost be-
yond belief to be told that the produc-
ton of peanuts in this country is about
4 1000, 900 bushels annually, costing the
consumers 100000 and yet it is a
fact that the peanut is not "Goober,"
as many suppose.
The well-known peanut and it's kin
dred plants is known in botany as ara
CHS, natives of the warm parts of Amer
lea, of which, until recently, the only
known species was the arachis hypo-
gaea, sometimes called the underground
kidney bean and more frequently the
ground nut. 1t also receives the name
of earth-nut, American earth-nut, and
maudubi. The flowers are yellow, the
standard veined with red. After flower
ing the flower stalks elongate and bend
towards the earth into which the pods
penetrate, ripening under ground. The
pods have lining of a sort of net work,
and generally contain two to three or
four seeds which are about the size of
a hazel nut, of a sweetish taste, with a
little of the flavor which belongs to most
kinds Of pulse. In this particular the
goober differs radically from the peanut,
producing only one seed to the pod,
which is spherical and about the size
OF a common marble. Goober seeds
have distinct eye, which is entirely
absent in the peanut seed.
Apois tuberosa is the botanical name
for the goober, which the general public
should bear in mind, to avoid confusing
it with tie world renowned peanut

Editor Florida Agriculturist:


Should this be mooted question? And
yet it is. For years aud years the pillow
and the cultivator, and the man and
horse toiled in our orange groves, and
for what? For their ruin, as we now
think, at least some of us think so.
Sometimes get awfully disguised
at ssmv science" l think 1 have none.
A fool, or one who entertains radically
different theory succeeds, and quite as
we'll as I, all things considered. Is it
right to cultivate and pillow and break
and tear the roots of trees or plants In
the season of active growth? This do
not do Yet have neighbors who do,
and still they make crops about as we'll
as I. One spoke a little while ago of
his cabbage being "root bound" Or
ange trees can be root bound l think.
Yet the man who did not stick pillow
hoe or cultivator IN the earth about his
trees for seven years seems to think diff
ferently.
Now in this grove culture l propose
TO ''split the difference" with the ex-
tremes of clean and no culture, only
that no more turn plows shall be used.
The cutaway harrow is my idea and
ideal of tool, and a culture for the old
grove. Go deep in the fall, December,

April and May, then stop until Decem

to keep the trees in proper color and

But you will pardon me for speaking
of orange culture. [ had sworn off talk
ing for orange production. only had
vegetables in mind when I thought to
write you few lines before breakfast
as it is raining and [ can't go out and
look for bloom buds I often tell peo-
pie than January next is the best time
to estimate the crop, for if there is but
light bloom one feels bad over it, and
then in June the little oranges under the
trees almost puts one to bed, but in
January we congratulate ourselves that
there were no more on the trees.
Last year 1 planted my first corn in
Is years. l followed the most modern
theory. I broadcast fertilizer after a
light application in the hill. Ibid the
work before the crop was planted, that
is to say there was thorough preparation
and was careful not to break root in
cultivation, and this was perfect the
corn was good. But now just across
the road was a patch belonging to man

corn in the Northwest" and knew all
about it, made corn before ] was born
perhaps. At any rate I asked him if it
was right to run a Jwister seven inches
deep right up to corn eight or ten in
ches high. He said he always did that.

The West side council held a Sc
ance last night at the West side

The meeting was called together
for the purpose OF getting a COM
promise out of the water works
company, and the same was accom-
plished. The following settlement
was had: "The city agrees to pay
$500 as a compromise tor total
debt of 9,641.35 up to March l,
1896, and that water rental shall
from that date be $1,000 per an
nun for the use of 40 fire hydrants. '
This settlement is fair on the
part of the water company, and the
Aldermen and Mayor deserve cred
it for their manner in bringing
about the same.

permission to put in switch from

Tne House Passes a Bill of
Its Own Making, Which the
Senate Non-T oncurs in,
and Asks for a Con-
ference.
IN A TANGLED MASS.
Hasty Action on the Part of The
House Makes more Work and
Perhaps Defeat the Measure
AIMED at. Will Rub out
and Try Again.

In the Senate yesterday, the
Cuban house bill came up and
Senator Sherman moved that the
resolutions as passed by the House
be non-concurred in, and that
conference committee be appointed.
The motion was agreed to and
Messrs. Sherman, Lodge and Nor
gan were appointed as conference
committee.
1t seems that the House acted
hastily on the Cuban resolutions and
passed bill, not a substitute to
the bill originating in the Senate
but one as coming from the house
first.
The Senate regarded this as a
breach of etiquette and voted for a
conference, which it is hoped an
understanding will be had and a
bill passed that will suit the House
and the President at the same
time.
The Cabinet is known to oppose
any recognition of belligerency
rights to Cuba until the Cubans
win a decisive battle and esta 5lish
their governmental headquarters.
It is pointed out that the ad-
ministration practically holds the
same position that President Grant
maintained during the ten years
rebellion. Most of the constitutional
authorities concede that recognition
is an executive act so that the
friends Of the revolution find little
ground for nope that recognition
will extended until the insurgents
win a decisive victory or materially
change their plans of campaign and
government members of foreign
affairs committe say that Congress
has done all that lies in its power in
expressing by the medium of resolu-
tions its convictions upon the policy
which the Government should pur-
sue.
1t is proposed now to adopt a
Joint resolution and make President
Cleveland show his veto hand or
approve the bill.
The friends of Cuba think the
passage of bill over the Presi.
dents veto would be an easy
matter.
