The very latest pattern for a cente
piece is in pine cones, the needles them
selves being worked in green n the
stems in brown.
Bread and butter dishes are still pop
ular from their great convenience
Small spatula-shaped knives in solid
silver usually accompany them for
spreading the bread.
Plain burlap in very pretty cOlors,
not h ordinary coffee sacking but a
smoother and little finer weave, is
very much used for decorative purposes,
such as sofa cushions, couches and
hangings.
The ordinary black iron register has
been q bette noir for householders for
some time, but this problem has been
solved in a special-size screen, with
one or two folds, and just high enough
to reach the top. Plain ones of denim
OF burlap are especially popular.
The expense of fancy works will he
very much lessened if one would pin
the stamped article on a pillow covered
with transparent paper, take a fine
needle and prick rows of fine holes
through the pattern lines; then you al

five points instead of the ordinary FOUR

Dudley w. Adams.

Dudley w. Adams died suddenly Of
heart failure, one day last week at
his home near Tamgerine, Lake
county.
Mr.. Adams was perhaps the best
known orange clulturist in Florida.
For years he has been looked upon
as an authority upon all matters
pertaining to oranges. He was a
wide-awake, progressive horticulture
list, man who believed it to be the
duty of the fruit grower to produce
the finest quality, and his labors
were largely to that end.
Notwithstanding Mr.. Adams
many sarcastic letters and addresses
concerning the resources of the
state, that might lead one not con-
versant with his life's work to think
THAT he was skeptical of Florida
future, he was an earnest believer in
the largest possible profit from the
Intelligent cultivation of citrus
fruits. This fact was demonstrated
by the energy, thought and study he
gave his work.

Soils, Moisture and Fertilizer.

Soils, Moisture and Fertilizer.
The soil upon which a crop is
grown may have as great or greater
influence upon it as the plant food
al"titlt'ially supplied, says writer in
the American Agriculturist. Again,
the effects of manures and fertilizers
will vary on different soils. Indeed,
the soil is one of natures wonderful
labora ton les. The actions and reac-
tiOns tIhnt are going on in the soil
chemical, archaeological and physi-
calvary with different localities
aid seasons. No hard fast rules can
be laid down, but the farmer who
has had the largest experience with
fertilizers is usually the one who
learn. In this as in other branches
of agriculture, the one who really
knows the least is apt to think he
knows it all.
Temperature and rainfall prevent
exact rules in feeding crops. How
ever carefully and liberally crop is
fed, it will be to little purpose if the
wea ther is too cold or too dry. Tenn
perature cannot be governed, nor
by drainage, burt drouth can be in
sured against by mulching, with
chatf or roughage, or 10y frequent
culture, making a mulch of the sur
face sold, or 10y irrigation.
However rich the sold may be,
from it's natural supplies of unex
hausted plant food or from the APP
plication of manures or fertilizers,
crops will not be able to feed upon
this plant food without sufficient
moisture. Crops take up the bulk of
their food in sOlutiOn; that is, dis
solved in water before plants can
utilize them to any extent. Every
one knows how the soils of the So
aided arid west respond with an
abundant harvest, if water alone is
,jude, because water is the only
thing needed to make their supplies
If vegetable food available to plants.
Eastern farmers and truckers who
go to such heavy expense for manur
ing. too often neglect the necessity
of moisture We have known farm
erS to condemn certain brand Of
fertilizer because it did not produce
a big crop, when the real trouble
was the soil did not have moisture
enough. Stable manure or compost
has an important function in absorb
ing and holding moisture which
commercial fertilizers or chemicals
DO not possess. But this can be sup
piled by blowing under green crops,
tmff, etc. AS to the necessity Of
such vegetable matter in the soil,
theorists differ, but every farmer
knows that such humus is one of the
most useful means of insllring
against drouth.

some experience. With such a man
to manage one might plant largely
the first year with little fear of max
ing failure.
But before determining on grow
ing peanuts, let the novice be sure
that he has a suitable soil. 1t must
lie dry soil. No water-sogged land
viii grow peanuts. A light, sandy,
porous loam that allows the moist
llre of the subsoil ITO rise to the sur
face in dry weather suits the peanut
admirably. A soil that bakes hard
is not good, as it may prevent tine
seed stems from penetrating the
ground at the right time.
The color of the soil is important.
a Chocolate or light gray color is
best, as it makes the whitest nuts.
To prevent discoloring of the bulls.
the soil should be clear of anything
that will Stain them. Stable manure,
most cOmpOstS, ashes, old dunghiI
soils, tan-bark, and such like, are un-
fit for peanut fertilizers. If applet
to the land the year before for a
corn or cotton crop, the case would
be different. But as a general thing,
such manures had better be kept off
of land intended for peanut culture.
Wood ashes, especially, are insult
able, because of their tendency to
stain the pods a dark or rusty color.
They will show This plainly even
where a pile of brush or stalks is
burned on the land.
There are different modes of plant
ing. The ideal one is, lay off rows
as for corn, thirty or thirty three
inches apart-some prefer thirty-siX
inches If fertilizer, plaster or lime
is applied scatter it along the drill
thus made, so much to the rod, ac-
cording to the quantity you wish to
apply to the acre. With the turn
pillow or cuItivator with right and
left mold boards attached, lap two
burrows over the rows. Then the
planter follows, leveling the ridge,
dropping the seed and covering
t lem nicely, all at one operation.
But the beginner has no peanut
planter, and probably never saw one.
Let him cut a straight pole long
enough to reach a foot beyond two
rows at the same time.
Attaching small poles for shafts
and fastening a rope to lift it
around, he has now an instrument
to level the ridges. For a dotter
make wheel of piece of plank
two inches thick and twelve inches in
diameter. Setting three pins i'm the
circumference twelve inches apart,
the dOtter will make three holes at
one revolut ion. With an axle
through the middle and handles like
a wheelbarrow the dotter is ready
for service. This is rolled along the
fhattened ridge, after the leveler,
makimg holes in which the seed are
to be dropped at the proper distance
apart. 1t one prefers any other dis
tance between hills than twelve
inches-ten, fourteen OF sixteen
inches-he must make the dotter
wheel smaller Or larger accordingly.
A man or boy follows the dotter,
drops the seed, one in each hole. and

Of Agriculture on the subject of pea
nuts, and it will be remembered that
the use of lime was strongly recon-
mended, it assisting the filling of the
shell. The great complaint of Nlor-
ida growers has been ''paps," that is
nice fat looking shells containing
nothing but air. The planter no
doubt made the mistake of applying
nitrogenous fertilizers. The peanut
draws large supply OF nitrogen
from the air, and it needs chiefly
potash and phosphoric acid-princi-
pally the latter.

ginia contributes all interesting ar

price for common stock. But if one
wishes to experiment only in a small
way on a small area, he might buy
of the nearest dealer any of the COM
mon stock he finds that appears to
be good and sound, and thus save
the expense of long freights and
high prices. Very often the commo1
supply Of the market is as good for
seed as any that could be had.
Split some of the kernels and ex-
anime the germs. If they are per-
feet and healthy-looking, not faded,
shriveled or discolored, the seed no
doubt lis good. For one acre OF
ground, which is enough for the
novice to start with, he will want
about two bushels of seed in the

Two One, Thousand Dollar Notes
 fsf enne of '65 Issue
FOR PAYMENT
At the Treasury Department Which Proved to Be Part of a Large Number of
 Clever Counterfeits

Washington. Aug. 17.-There were pre- scented to, the treasury department today for redemption two $1000, 730 notes of the issue of June 15. 1865. The persons making the presentation were a business firm of Louisville. Ky.
 sGUpon .exanination the notes were found to be scounterfeits. being a part of very large issue of counterfeit notes which appeared in the principal bond markets in 1865 and 1S67 The imitation of the genuine issue is so complete That many of the principal dealers in United States securities purchased them freely, and only discovered that they had been vic timzed when the notes were thrown out by the authorities at Washington. The loss to bankers and dealers through this counterfeit amounted probably to sev- eral hundred thousand dollars.
 The only marked difference between the original and counterfeit Is found in the red of the seal tha points surround ing the seal in the genuine being broader, .tn9te cleftly defined and not so large. s There is, also a slight difference in the signature of General Spinner. who was the treasurer of the United States at the time of the issue of the original notes. In the genuine note there is also small spot just below the bar of the baskets which the figure of America holds sus- pended.
 At the secret service office it is said ! that the plate from which these notes were printed was captured Nov. 21, 1s67 < from William E. Broadway, who is now serving a term of ten years in the Tren- ton, N. J.. penitentiary for counterfeit ing $500 gold certificates
