Pure Orange Jelly Possible.

In the discussions, now happily fire.
quent, on fruit jellies and their adul-
terants, it is often asserted by manu-
facturers that a pure orange jelly is
an impossibility. Regarding this
Scipio Craig of the vitrograph says:
We dissent from this statement, in
toto. Orange jelly can be made from
nothing but oranges and sugar. We
admits that it is not an easy matter.
We also admit that pure orange jelly
is not, and never can be, cheap. Our
good mother has been experimenting
this season and has made as hand
some orange jelly as ever was seen
out of nothing but oranges and sugar.
Others have been experimenting and
have succeeded. We are also prepared
to admit that orange jelly made with
an admixture of lemon pulp and rind
is, to the taste of almost every one,
superior to that made from oranges
alone. Probably a small portion OF
pomelo or grape fruit would also be a
grateful addition for most people. But
the product would be citrus jelly,
not an orange jelly, although the lat
ter would largely predominant and
give character to the whole.
What we started out to say, was
that pure orange jelly is possible.
The admixture Of lemon or pomelo
makes it citrus jelly, and we pro-
duct should be so labeled. The same
thing would apply to orange marina

mixture of sweet and bitter oranges

also can be made from oranges and
sugar but the lemon gives it an added
zest. It may be that both would pass
under the name of orange jelly or
marmalade, everyone understanding
that the only admissible addition are
lemons for additional favoring. But
Jelly or marmalade made from mix
lures of refuse gelatine and glucose,

The first watermelons of the season
made their appearance at Tampa
Thursday of last week and were
bought by Franklin street fruit
dealer They were not very large,
weighing from ten to fifteen pounds
each, and were sold at SO cents each.
j. Lloyd Head, who is the manager
of a tobacco-growers' association
composed of number of we'll known
gentlemen at Port Tampa, has let the
contract for curing the crop. They
have a splendid farm across the bay
near St. Petersburg, and their tobac-
co is said to be making fine show

They will have the channel seventy

The Good Roads bill was "killed"
by the committee to whom it was re-
ferred, and by this action the legisla-
ture of 1897 puts itself on record as
being unalterably opposed to prog
ress. The action is most serious
blow to the state, and is without ex-
cuse, as the bill forced no measure on
any section that did not want to
adopt the same. Lake county wants
good roads, but the Florida legisla-
ture, or at least one of it's committees,
says we cannot have them. The men
who killed this bill should never have
been sent to legislate for an enlight-
ened people. They know no progress,
and are contented to have Florida just
as it was when the Seminole Indians
had possession.-Eustis Lake Region.
At the convention of the State Dent
al Society at Ocala Thursday, the fol-
lowing officers wer elected for the en-
suing year; E. Ewing Smith of ST.

an honorary member of the society,
and also official stenographer and as
sistant secretary. St. Augustine was
chosen as the next place of meeting,
and the time the first Tuesday in
May, 1898.
While it is conceded that Florida
can grow almost anything, and grow
it to the greatest perfection, it has
been tacitly agreed among the fruit
growers that raspberries was one of
the things upon which we must weak
en-. This impression was dispelled
few days ago when a Lake Region
representative was shown by Mrs. L.
n Herrick, some red raspberries
which we're just the kind you mean
when you speak with smack of the
lips, of raspberries and cream. Mr..
herricl1 put out only a few bushes by
the way of experiment, but they have
thrived from the start and all indica-
lions go to show that they will event
ually develop good crop of the deli
cious fruit Yes, Florida can grow
raspberries, too.-Eustis Lake Region.
The following from the Ocala cor
respondent of the Florida Citizen is
strong evidence that the farmers of
Marion county have an eye to bust
ness: A leading grower, who has been
well over the tobacco growing Sec
otins, reported to Colonel Curtis that
the total crop in Marion county this
year would amount to fully 1000
