The Horticultural Society.

Next week the Florida State Horti-
cultural Society will hold it's tenth
annual meeting at Orlando, and the
indications are that the meeting will
be full of interest and profit to those
who attend. The committees ap-
pointed embrace the most progress
sive fruit culturists in the state, and
their reports on the respective sub
be of value to every horticulturist in
Florida
This society should embrace in it's
membership every man in Florida di-
rectly or Indirectly interested in any
branch of fruit growing or farming.
Aside from the direct benefits they
would derive as members of the So
ciety, they would help to increase the
strength and usefulness of an organ
ization that is laboring for an un-
selfish purpose-the development of
the resources of the state.
The society has as yet been unable
to obtain any recognition from the
state government. If this recogni-
ton was given in the form of a small
appropriation the usefulness of the
society would be largely increased.
If the membership of the society
could be doubled the state legislature
would be forced to recognize the So
ciety in a substantial manner. This
is one of the many reasons why it is
desirable to have every soil tiller in
the state on the membership roll.
California, one of the most progress
sive states in the Union in horticu1-
tural matters, sets an example that
Florida would do we'll to follow.
There the state horticultural society
is recognized as potent factor in the
development of the state, and the leg
islature encourages it to greater la
bors by a handsome annual appropri-
alton.

.Fhe Family Garden.

che Eam1ly Garden.
There are two distinct kinds of gar
deners-those who grow vegetables
for the purpose of supplying them to
non-producers (those who have no
land) and those who grow the same
purely for home use, giving away
whatever of surplus there may be
from time to time. Of either, there
may be some who regard the busi-
ness as replete with drudgery, who
engage in it entirely for the money
there is in it, and get no more pleas
ure from the occupation than they
would from breaking stone or tramp
ing on a treadmill. Then, again,
there are others, in both classes, who
find gardening, the growing of veg
etables and fruits, one of the most
pleasure-giving employments that
life affords. Some of these are gen
uine Observation-Disclosures in the
very best sense of the word. Not
cranks. What a pleasure it is to be
brought into association with all
such. They are usually entertaining
and instructive. That is the way [
find it. I am a veritable crank-No:
I mean enthusiast-myself on the
subject of gardening. I love to gar
den. T love a good gardener. [ like
new varieties. I like to experiment.
The return of spring, the beginning
of another garden year, is anticipated
with far more pleasure than the re-
turn even of Christmas. There are
others, I know, like myself, in this,
who will not deny at least one word
of praise to the man who wrote ga
garden is the purest of human pleas
ures; it is the greatest refreshment
to the spirit of man." What lordly
gardener was it that thus encour-
ages us to love a garden?
The man who has never gardened
may need to be encouraged to resort
to the garden for something other
than the net money returns to be de-
rived from it, but not so the man (or
woman) who has had the pleasure of
a garden even for but a short while.
He knows what a refreshment to the
mind it really is. So we have among
our garden-lovers many eminent law
yers, doctors, preachers, men OF mind
who are quick to learn where the es-
sential ''refreshment" is to be found.
Every man should have side-study
from which true mental refreshment
may be secured. The intelligent and
discriminating find it where the Lord
said it was-and He knew.

are so situated as to render it possl-

For the Florida Agriculturist.
The Kicking Cow.

NV experience with the cow born
with an instinct for kicking is that
she can never be thoroughly cured.
Sometimes a heifer will try to kick
the milker away when she is not we'll
broken to milk. Her bag and teats
are then tender, and it is not difficult
to understand why she should do her
best to escape the ordeal of milking.
Some men have so little sympathy
with heifer at this period that they
hurt the udder unnecessarily, and
pretty soon the habit of kicking may
have been formed. With care, how
ever, the tendency to kick may be
overcome and will never reappear.
But there are some COWS which
years ago I bought a very good look
ing cow six years old. The owner
told me she was gentle and free from
bad tricks. [ found that she was in
deed very gentle at times. She would
come up in the lot to be fondled and
was a great favorite with the chill
dren But, the same spring I bought
her, and before she had come in, she
would stand in the stable and kick
with both hind feet at the COWS each
side of her, using first one foot and
then the other.
I thought that it might be because
she was in a strange place and that
she would be all right when she be-
came used to her quarters. But this
was not true. For some days she
would be perfectly quiet, then with
out warning her legs would fly. She
was a strong cow, and things moved
when she kicked. I tried the plan of
tying a rope about her body just in
front of the bag, and as long as the
rope was kept on she was quiet: AS
soon as the rope was left off, trouble
was likely to begin at any time. [
never was sure that I would get away
with my pail of milk. After thor
ough trial, running through num-
Der of years, I became convinced that
she was incurable and disposed of her
to the butcher.
This COW raised several heifer
calves while I had her, and every one
of them was light footed. Right down
through the whole race that fault ex-
tended. I have gradually weeded them
out until have only one two-year-old
heifer left. She is half Jersey and
gives promise of being an extra cow;
but if she develops the habit of kick
ing she will go, for of all the demor-
alizing things in a dairy kicking
COW takes the lead. Life is too short
