selves until it was time to put them
in for winter. The result was that
early in the season the milk supply
was cut off, for once the COW dried up
there was no way of bringing her up
again. All this is changing. Not all
men have adopted the plan of putting
in some crop for summer use, but
most men who have their own best
interests at heart have.
Probably corn stands at the head as
soiling crop. Tt is richer in butter
making elements than any similar
plant. Then, every dairyman should
have a piece of corn. AS it is very
exhaustive crop, the land upon which
it is to be grown should be well ma
nured. We used to SOW corn intended
for the purpose indicated broadcast;
now it seems settled that it is better
to plant it in rows three feet apart,
so that it may be cultivated. Thus
planted, numerous ears will grow

ness secured. Begin feeding this early.
For some years I have commenced
cutting corn for green feed in August.
Even earlier than corn, spot devot-
ed to oats or oats and peas will yield
a bountiful supply of green fodder.
The effect of this generous feeding
may be seen very speedily in the milk
pail and the churn.
Who says all this does not involve
labor? 1 do not deny it; but shall
we expect to receive something for
nothing? The time has gone by, if it
ever was, when we could trust old
mother nature to do her part and ours
too in the production of great hopes
and fabulous returns for small out
lay of labor. If we get anything out
of the meal-tub we must put some
thing in. Just now is the time to pre-
pare for the time of need which will
surely come later in the year. He is
wise who admits this and acts upon
it. e. L. Vincent.

product ,and no difficulty will be had
in obtaining the factory.
The east coast, from ST. Augustine
to Miami, offers peculiar facilities to
the sugar grower and manufacturer.
Cane can be delivered to mill, either
by rail or water, along the entire
route, making the transportation pc
culiarly reliable, cheap, and efficient.
Sugar can be shipped by water or rail
to the eastern markets. The east
allel to the coast, sheltered and con-
venient, and also runs through vast
areas of the richest sugar lands.
The hammocks at Daytona, Ormond,
and Smyrna were noted at one time
for their sugar fields. The remains
of a vast system of drainage canals,
sugar mills, and fields are still to be
seen, though now covered with a
dense forest. These rich mari ham,
mocks are identical in comparison to
the mari prairies or ''glades'' of the
lower Hillsboro, New River, and Mi
ami. They were artificially drained
by Turnbull many years ago, and
successfully cultivated in sugar and
indigo.
East Coast Sugar Lands.-S Similar
lands are found almost continuously
(west of the railroad) from Titusville
to the keys, which if drained will in
the course of time become, under
similar conditions, of the same char
acter. With modern appliances this
work can be done for comparatively
small cost, and territory of vast
area and immense fertility added to j
the states material wealth. In the
meantime, let the east coast farmers
enlarge his ''cane PATCH" replant his
every stalk at prices which will pay
him handsomely.
American capitalists and farmers
are now realizing that immense prof
it's are to be made in growing sugar;
that no agricultural business pays
near the same amount of profit to the
grower and manufacturer. Many mil
lions of dollars are being invested in
beet culture. 1t only remains for the
south (the cane betty to convince by
practical demonstrat ton that larger
and more certain profits are to be
had from cane culture, to secure a
large part of, if not most, of the bust
ness.
There can be no comparison be-
tween two plants for sugar-making,
either in tn growing or the result.
The cost in labor and care in the case
of cane is very much smaller than
for beets, while the result in output is
much greater.-R. e. Rose, in Citizen.

double the value of the situation.
Managers, assistant managers, doc
tors, clerks, and overseers on gardens
of not more than 200 acres. will cost
as much as the labor.
Superintendent and Supplies.-The
writer managed three gardens, 700
acres of tea; the cost of labor was
$4,000, month, and the salaries of
the European staff alone amounted
to 1850 monthly. Stores and sup
plies brought from England, jour
ney of five weeks by sea and three by
river, with anywhere from ten to six
ty miles of transportation from
steamer to garden by bullock-cart,
become very costly, and teas must
also be sent over the same route to
market, often causing great incon-
venience through delays in receiving
the proceeds of sales.
The proprietors are scattered over
India, and very many reside in Eng
land; they employ agents in Calcutta
at a fixed charge of two per cent ON
all values passing through their
hands, the money and supplies for the
garden, the teas for market; the
agents employ brokers to value and
report on the teas in Calcutta, an-
other charge of one per cent. Machir-
cry, having this immense journey and
so much handling to undergo, DIS we'll
as paying duty into India, becomes
exceedingly costly by the time it is
set up on the garden. Lastly, the val
ue of labor rendered is not first-class.
and in this respect we should have d
very great advantage.
These are some of the items which
we claim as set-offs against "the cheap
labor of the tea districts, and we are
convinced that they do completely
discount that great advantage.
Conclusions.-Her then, is an in
dustry which is capable of raising a
country from state of nature to
wealth and prosperity in few dec
AIDES, provided that the country is
suitable to it's requirements. Let
those who have at heart the true well
fare of Florida consider how far this
state meets those requirements, and
earnestly endeavor to encourage the
introduction of an industry manifest
ly suited to the natural conditions,
and requiring only active and ener-
getic management and sufficient vol
ume to confer an inestimable benefit
upon almost every community within
our borders. I'll. S. Wyllie.

are built in a special manner, which
enables them to have play during the
heaving of the ground. Long, heavy
posts are sunk deep into the ground,
reeds, plastered over, are tied with
cane; the roof is of bamboo, on
which thatch is laid very thickly; this
makes delightfully."- cool roof; shin
giles or slate would be quite unservlce-
able in the heart of India. These posts
are continually attacked by white
ants, which leaving the outside intact,
eat out the interior.
Fences and bridges are mostly made
of bamboo, but whether of wood OF
bamboo, the white ants will destroy
all portions that touch the ground,
and they have to be very extensively
repaired, if not rebuilt, every season.
The roads, and every planter has
many miles of them to make and keep
up, worn into mud holes by the action
of the heavy rains, by bullock-cart;;,
and by buffaloes, wallowing in the
mud of them, and entertainments
washed away during the floods, all
have to be repaired thoroughly CT
transportation will be impossible
when the next rains set in.
In the old days, before 1875, char
coal-making was one of the large
items at this season, indeed il usual
ly extended in a more moderate de-
gree into the rains. A pound of tea
required a pound of charcoal in man
ufacture; that was the theory, but in
practice this amount was usually con-
siderably exceeded.
Cost of Indian Cheap Labor" LA
Dor is extremely difficult to procure
in the great tea districts of India, AS
sam, Cachar, ETC.; laborers are
brought from 800 to 1000 miles, I'M
der three years contracts; the planter
has to send recruiters (who are not
permitted by law to convey more than
twenty people at one time), and to
pay all expense; the journey to Assam
occupies from four to six weeks, and
the people are fed en- route. 1t thus
costs about 500 to import a laborer,
and if he works out his three years
this cost doubles the cost of his labor;
but he goes to an extremely I'M
healthy country, and the mortality is
very high indeed among both the
whites and natives; hence a very con-
siderable percentage die during the
first six months, causing a complete
loss of the outlay of importation.
The planter has to provide hospitals
and stores, doctors and medicines,
free of all charge, as well as houses,
wells, fuel, and garden land; rice he
has 20 supply at certain fixed rates;
this is important and often proves a
source of considerable loss. At the ex-
piration of the three years, the labor
er receives bonuses of from 81 to SIS
for re-engaging for one year; this is a
constant cause of loss through labor.

bonus on another garden, and it is

A SNOW STORM COMING TO-DAY.
