The Orange Worm.

Quoted by the chronological division
of the Agricultural department. It
is with reference to the Mexican or
ange worm, ard it's results will be of
incalculable value in determining
means of preventing it's entrance in
to theyorange growing sections of the
United States. Very little is known
of this maggot. AS yet, it has only
been found to exist in certain Sec
tions of Mexico, but the danger of its
introduction to California and Flor
ida is thought to be sufficient to war
rant early steps of prevention.
The attention of the Department
was first called to the orange worm

You have said many a good word
for cassava, and yet few farmers raise
it, and yet more flesh, milk, fat and
egg food can be grown to the acre in
the shape of cassava than in any 9th

We may now expect a decided
change in that respect for [ am pre-
pared to say that all that can be col
lected next spring be wanted, anda
year from now it will take thousands
Of tons to supply the demand and it
will to some, perhaps to a very great
extent, have to be shipped from vari-

Florida may we'll save their seed care

81 per Annum, in Advance

an important feature in the diet of
large number of the American peo-
pie. The consumption of them has
increased by leaps and bounds, and
every year for the past few years it
has more than doubled. A few days
ago, says Garden and Forest, two
barrels of small-sized grape fruit
realized the extraordinary price of
$25 each in New York and seven bar
res of similar fruit were sold in Phil
adelphia for $3.50 each.
''Such fruit would retail at more
than 81 apiece. This is probably the
highest price ever paid for speci-
mems Of the orange tribe. 1t shows
very clearly how keen is the demand
for grape fruit, and what Importance
is attached % it as a refreshing and
healthful adjunct to the food supply
of the United States. At one time
there was a better market for grape
fruit-or rather forbidden fruit, as it
was called-in the United Kingdom
than in America But the tables
are now turned. America, especially
since the destructive frosts in Flor,
ida, has now abandoned almost the
whole supply from the West Indies.
Sooner or later, however, English
people will realize the special merits
of the grape fruit, and demand will
arise for it, to the possible advantage
of those West India islands which
are in a position to supply it. 1t
would be we'll, therefore, for the peo-
pie in that part of the world to estab>
lish small orchards of grape fruit
trees of the best quality, and to be
prepared to ship the fruit in such a
condition that they may get the best
price for it. This would be one way
of alleviating to some extent the de-
preston under which they are now
suffering, owing to the unremunera>
tive character of the sugar industry"

Testing the Stock Law.

The Fruitland Peninsula Law and
Order League held a full public meet
ing on Saturday the 4th, at the school
house, Pomona, which was a great
success. The. League shows a remark
able increase in membership and an
unquenchable enthusiasm. Nearly
hundred of the most important, most
influential and most determined cit
liens of Sisco, Pomona, Welaka, Como,
Huntington, Fruitland, Hudual and
Georgetown met together to receive
the report of the Executive Commit
tee and to give instructions as to their
future procedure.
After the meeting was called to Or
der by the president the minutes of
the previous meeting were read and
adopted. The constitution of the
League and the roll call were then
read and the report of the Executive
was called for. This report recited
the action of the executive committee
in the various outrages brought to
their notice as far as could be made
public.
The executive complained that the
running at large of hogs was a prime
factor in the production of discon-
tent and outrages, and they further
stated that in their opinion, after
much and careful inquiry, the laws
relating to the running at large of
these animals was unconstitutional
and they advised a consultation with
the best legal authorities on constitu-
tional law.
The meeting enthusiastically sup
ported the suggestion of the execu-
tive, and on hearing that the sum of
$50 was needed, that sum was in few
minutes collected, twice over, and the
executive was instructed to take the
necessary steps, and also to take ac-
ton so as to procure the assistance
and cooperation of other counties OF
this State, said cooperation having
already pro-offered. The executive
will be pleased to receive cOmmun1-
cations from all parties interested, ad-
dressed to "The Secretary F. P. L. &
o. L., Huntington, Fla.," and thanks
all those who have already communi-
Gated.

circumference of more than two feet,
and to weigh from fifteen to twenty
pounds. Generally pomelos are not
held in high esteem in India and
Ceylon, except by those who have
lived long there, and know how to
select the best sorts by their size and
color. The best Bombay pomelos are
said to be exceptionally good. They
have pink pulp Of juicy character,
are sweet in flavor, with slight but
agreeably bitter taste.
''The first pomelos were brought to
the West Indies by Captain Shaddock
about $50 years ago. Since that time
the fruit has always been known in
that part of the world as the shad-
dock, in compliment to the person
who introduced it. Owing to circum-
stances of soil and climate, and to
the raising of plants almost exclu-
sively by seed, many varieties have
sprung up that have become recog-
nized by distinct names.
''Of the larger fruits, the pomelo or
shaddock proper, there are two well
marked forms; the first is the apple
shaped shaddock, usually with a
whitish or pale pink pulp. The other
is a pear-shaped fruit, with a pink
and sometimes a deep crimson pulp.
Both of these are large fruits, weigh
ing from three to six pounds; they
have the characteristic pale yellow
skin, and inside there is white, pithy
LAYER more or less thick; then comes
the pulp with the vesicles or juice
bags very prominent; indeed, the
latter are so distinct that they can be
easily separated one from another.
The bitter flavor is very marked in
the inferior sorts; in some instances
it becomes quite acrid. The best sorts
have a sweetish flavor and only
slight taste of bitter.
''Of the smaller fruits, to which
Macfadyen has given the name of
Paradise fruits, there are in the West
Indies two we'll marked forms. The
apple-shaped fruits are known as for
hidden fruit, while the pear-shaped
sorts are known as Barbados grape
fruit. Both of these are very attract
i've looking fruits; they have a pale
yellow skin, usually very thin, are
soft and silky 70 the touch, while the
pulp is sweet and refreshing. The
slightly bitter flavor is regarded as
giving them tonic properties of great
value in dyspepsia and allied all
ments.
During the last fifteen years the
Paradise fruits, generally known as
grape fruit, have been in great de-
mand in the United States. They
have been very strongly recon-
mended by the medical faculty, and
in consequence their use has become

How a Guest Got Even-Trick

Asking for it next day he wac thunderstruck when the functionary to whom he had given the money coolly denied any re- collection of the matter. Whereupon tho countryman went to c lawyer. "Get another f20 note." sad the law yer, "snd g, accomps snied by friend back to the hotel. Apologiz, to the clerk for your mistake; gay it was a defective memory; attribute 1t to absent-mindedness; deposit the f2O note in the presence of your friend and come back 10 me"
 The mystiied ruralist observed in .tructions to the very letter.
 Now" said the lawyer, Ego back alone to the clerk and ask fer your e 20 note. Knowing that your friend saw him receive 1t, he will give you back the second one. Then take your friend with you the next day, approach the clerk, ask him boldly for tha' e20 note and, as there was no witness to your receipt of the second note, he will be forced to return that also"
