Attempting too Much.

An Alabama correspondent of the
Home and Farm writes:
The tendency of the times is to do
Things on a large scale, and too
many are disposed to do much or to
do nothing. This is fast age, and
but few are disposed to go slow-all
want to keep up with the procession.
The result is thousands are left in
poverty and dependency, who, if
they would be satisfied to undertake
no more than their ability enables
them to accomplish, might succeed
in making a good living and some
thing to spare. In too many in
stances the farmer of limited means,
instead of improving his small farm,
and of increasing it's production
from year to year, becomes ambi
tious, which he often does by going
in debt, which causes him to deny
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-02-24

himself and his family for years to
come, not only all the luxuries of
life, but also many of its comforts,
in order that he may Finish paying
for his land"
Would it not be more sensible to
be satisfied with a small farm and
devote all his time and energy in
making it produce as much as one
many times larger, and consequently
equally as valuable. 1t requires no
argument to prove that an affirma-
tive answer to this question is the
correct and proper one; yet, not
understanding this fact has been so
often demonstrated, those who adopt
the policy of making 1.-TWO blades of
grass grow where burt one grew be-
fore" are exceptions to the general
rule and are largely in the minority.
The farmers in this section, and in
act in every section with which [ am
familiar, are LAND poor" They have
plenty or ldnQ, DuG IltUle else, ana
many of them still want ''all that
joins them"
1t is true that a large majority are
in debt, and find that farming does
not pay, but they have the satisfac-
ton of knowing that they own the
land, and pay the taxes on it. By
cultivating a large area, and using
commercial fertilizers literally, a
considerable amount of cotton and
some corn may be raised ON it, and
the poor farmers manage to get
along somehow, while they continue
to hope that better times will come,
a wave of prosperity will sweep over
the country, and that money will
flow into their pockets! Is it not
remarkably strange that so many Of
us "know the right, approve it, too;
condemn the wrong, and yet the
wrong pursued" In regard to many
things, we are Railways learning, yet
never coming to a knowledge of the
TRUTH

Protecting Trees.


Experienced fruit growers have
learned that anything of greasy
nature will keep AWAY rabbits, and
to a certain EXTENT mice. Probably
more orchardists use axle grease
than anything else. Occasionally a
complaint is heard that this materi-
al hurt the trees on which it was
used, but so many have used it sue
cessfully that it may be taken for
granted that where the in jury oc-
Cured it was from using impure ma
nication to Prairie Farmer, states
that he does not believe that pure
axle grease will hurt any trees. He
also makes the following remarks:
A 10 cent box of axle grease will
go long way. 1t may be applied to
the tree with a thin brush or a wool
Ell rag. One application will be suf-
ficient,. and this need not be too
thick. 1t is better not to have it too
thick. There is another mixture that
has been much praised. 1t is a wash
made of lime, bluestone, sulphur and
water. To this same add little
glue, that it may adhere to the tree.
1t takes but little copperas, and just
enough to make the water blue is
sufficient. 1t is claimed that neither
mice nor rabbits will touch a tree
which has been washed with this
mixture. Cases are reported in
which pure gas tar has been used on
trees, but it should not be used, as
there are known cases where tar has
killed trees.
Wire netting is cheaper in the
long rum than anything else. T.
should be procured so wide that it
may be cut up to advantage into
strips of about a foot in width, or as
much wider as the case demands.
The strips should be long enough TO
completely enwrap the trunk and al
low for the expansion of it for sew
eral years. When cut TO proper
length and width, coil the wire
about a broom handle or something
like it. When unwound and set
about the fruit tree, it clasps it
tight, SO that no tying is necessary,
except at the top. The bottom of
the wire netting should go little
below ground to keep out mice.
These wire screens can be had to
keep out borers as we'll as the other
enemies referred to by getting the
meshes smaller. The size used for
screens and windows would be about
the right material to use. If at any
time these screens need to be taken
off the trees, perhaps to be painted,
the work is easily done, and the
screens are soon readjusted. With
the aid of little paint they will last
a long while.

American Steam Engines In Africa.

looked in vain for anything American
connected with the railway service. Sir
James Sievewright was himself Of the
opinion that American locomotives and
trucks were eminently suited to the class of
work required between Cape Town and Pre-
toria, 1000 miles away, but that there was
one insurmountable Overwhelmingly,
that represented by the prejudices of Eng
lish railway employees At one time two
Baldwin locomotives had been brought out
from Philadelphia, and also dozen freight
cars. So long as the American manager
remained with them they worked very
well, but when he returned to America the
authorities discovered that everything be-
gan to go wrong. The workmen, who had
been accustomed to English machinery dis
liked any innovation, and took particular
satisfaction in creating difficulties for the
new engines. The authorities finally gave
up the attempt to conquer this local preju-
dice, with the result that today the whole
system of colonial railways In British
South Africa is duplicate of what is com
mon in England. -Poultney Bigelow in

MONEY IN WASPS.
How a Long Headed Farmer Utilized the
Habits of the Insects.


Habits of the Insects.
Along the banks of the Cape Fear river
in North Carolina are lowlands behind

lowlands are subject to more or less fire.
quent overflow by freshets, which are de-
structive to crops planted thereon. A num-
Der of years ago farmer, resident in the
vicinity, made Q very comfortable sum of
money by insuring his neighbors' crops
against these freshets His unvarying sue
cess as an insurer was for many years
profound mystery TO the people of the
region. The years when he declined to In
sure were invariably years of destructive
overflow. The years when he was willing
to insure were equally certain TO be seasons
of exemption from disaster.
In the earlier days in England this
mans reading of the future would have
brought him some unpleasant experience
as dabbler if not an adept in black art
In the middle ages of Europe he would
probably have been revered as prophet
and saint. Yet his information came from
no occult soucre Observation had shown
him that certain species of wasp, which
built its home in the ground, built some
years on the lowlands and other years up
on the higher level. Experience taught
him that when the wasps built on the low
lands there were no freshets and when
they built on the higher ground the low
er would some time during the season be
submerged. The man had simply noted an
instance of that little understood preset
ence manifested by certain insects and ami
mails, better knowledge of which might
even be of service to our national weather
bureau. 1t was only at his death that he
revealed his secret-New York Post.
