says he held a conversation with the
late Attorney General before the latter
was taken sick and was informed bv
him that at Stuart's r, quest he had
carefully gone through the laws of
the State to ascertain if there was any,
thing in the books prohibiting prize
fighting, but had failed to find a
single word that could be construed
as f%orbidding the sport.

Red Spider a Good Thing

Professor III. j. Webber, expert ap-
pointed by the agricultural depart
ment last year to investigate the pest
of the water hyacint tbs, which are fast
blOckading the St. Johns and other
rivers of the state, arrived in the citv
from Eustis yesterday and is now at
the Duval hotel
Professor Weber has faith in the
destructiveness of the red spider
which has been ravaging the leaves
of the plant. To examine more close
ly the work of this insect. he gathered
plants in lake Monroe and placed
them in ponds in his own yard The
spider, he says, is not quite so large
as the head of a pin, and is a new
species, according to Professor L. O..
Howard, chief of the chronological
division of the department of agricul-
tru to whom were sent specimens.
The little fellow multiplies with ex-
ceeding great rapidity, weaves his
web from leaf to leaf, raises his nu-
merous family and attacks the leaves,
devouring them almost completely.
The roots, of course, will live for a
while, says the professor, but if the
leaves are repeatedly killed as fast as
they grow life in the whole plant is
soon extinct. He explained that the
food materials taken into the plant
by the roots are converted by the leaf
into fats and sugars, and these are
as necessary to the life of the plant
as they are to human beings. The leaf
destroyed, the plant will die Just as a
man would die who had been deprived
of digestive apparatus.
Even if the root did not die, the
work of the spider in destroying that
part of the hyacinth above the sur
face would prove beneficial, inasmuch
as the plant propagates from the flow
er would prevent that branch of the
propagation and reduce the rapid
multiplication.
Don't understand me to saw" said
Professor Webber, ''that the red spi-
der will destroy the hyacinths COM

AS hay plant, green forage and
Land enricher it has no equal. 1t Of
ten grows to height of eight or ten
feet, but thick stand tends to dwarf
the height and makes better hay. A
very serious mistake is made in al
lowing it to grow too tall before cut
ting, as the stems grow too large and
many of the lower leaves fall off, thus
making an inferior article of hay. If
one wishes to grow this in his grove
he can cut one crop each year, there
by seeding the land for the next
years crop and enriching it very ma
terially by the decaying roots and
vegetable matter, which can be plow-
ed under any time in the fall, winter
or early spring.
If one has only few acres where
he wishes to grow forage for the for
age only, he can SOW the seed in April
or May and can cut two or three
crops each year, thus getting two or
three tons of frst-class hay per acre.
1t is one of the best things to feed
green to cows giving milk, making
a first-class article of both milk and
butter. I have also noticed that hens
are very fond of this plant, eating the
4 10,
avidity, and thus saving a good deal
in the feed bill. It is we'll known that
a greater number of eggs can be pro-
duced with diet largely composed of
green vegetable matter.
The curing of this plant SO as to
make a good quality of hay is the
hardest problem we have in connec-
ton with it, is our rainy season usu-
ally comes at a time when this clover
is at it's best for making hay, and,
as I have said before, if allowed to
grow too long, it makes a poor article.
IF one has several acres, think it
a wise plan to SOW at different times.
Plant ait intervals of two weeks a
portion of the land, thus having it in
the right condition for cutting at diff
ferent times. When one is pretty sure
of good weather cut with a mower
from to o'clock in the afternoon,
when it will be in good condition for
the NOW. A good thing to have on
hand a few dozen hay caps which
can be placed over the hay cocks, thus
protecting them to a great extent.
The seed is cleaned by the removal
of the outside covering or hull, by a
very ingenious machine made espec-
tally for that purpose. This seed
will terminate very readily and can
be sown from any time from April to
June The ground should be well
prepared by blowing and narrowing
to a smooth and even surface. The
seed should be sown broadcast, at the
rate of about eight or ten pounds to
the acre, and the land then narrowed
again and rolled, although the latter
is not necessary. The rough seed
does not terminate as readily as the
cleaned seed and should, therefore,
be sown in the fall or early spring at
the rate of fifteen pounds per acre.
The seed of Florida clover can be
