ORANGE GROWING I'M CEYLON.

The orange is grown to a consider
able extent in Ceylon. Those grown
in the lowlands are stated to be far
superior to the hill cultured fruit.
The oranges grown in this colony are
mostly, unlike those from Australia
and the West. However ripe, they as
a general rule, preserve their verdant
hue, and do not change to the yellow
fruit with which we are so familiar.
This is not exclusively the case, but is
so with most varieties grown, while
the flavor is a sharp one, and conse-
quently even more refreshing than
the sweet orange of Europe, America
and Australia. Experiments, says the
Fruit Grower of London, are now
being made to greatly improve the
quality of the products of the Ceylon
orange groves, and it is considered
that if these experiments prove sue
cessful Ceylon should be in a position
to secure a large share of the orange
import trade into the Australian colo
MES, which now takes heavy ship
ments from Spain and Italy. Any
success with the improved orange will
lead the Ceylon growers to turn their
attention to improved lemon culture,
although the cultivated lime is, as
grown in Ceylon, juicier and larger
fruit than the European lemon, but
hardly equal in appearance to the lat
ter. AS many as 1000 fruits are gath
cred from single tree at four years

TITLES TO OUR LANDS.

There is subject extremely inter-
esting and important to the farming
community of Florida, and therefore
is highly appropriate to enlarge upon
in this journal. Reference is made to
the subject of titles to our lands. AS
the imperfection of the law now
stands-about half century behind
the times-the door has been opened
to migrating on our body polite
what is known as abstract offices"
and these have become sort OF re-
cognized institution, and a very
onerous tax upon the people who are
disposing of land. This should not
be. A proper system, such as is
in vogue in Canada and some of our
states, affords a most complete index
to every tract of land in the county.
Ibis is done by series of numbers,
every conveyance as brought in is
numbered by number corresponding
to that in the receiving book, and that
number is carried to an index of all
of the lots of land to which the con-
veyance refers, thereby keeping an
account, as it were, with each tract.
1t is on the same principle, and more
simple, than single entry bookkeep-
ing. The receiving book being the
day book and the index books being
the ledgers, so that when one wishes
to know the title of the land he owns,

FIVE CROPS A YEAR.

A Sumter county, Florida, CORES
pondent of Farm and Fireside writes:
"Three to five crops follow each other
in rapid succession. One man in our
vicinity planted his twenty acre farm
last winter in lettuce, and shipped
large quantities at paying prices. He
then planted cucumbers and cabbages,
which brought good returns. Then
the land was fertilized and watermel-
ons put in. AS a side issue he raised
nutmeg-melons which sold readily by
the crate at forty-fve cents a dozen.
The melons he did not sell were fed to
the hogs, and the land plowed and
planted to cow peas, or, as we call
them, "Dixie BEANS" Is that not
good showing? In addition he has
his sugar cane patch, his pindars Cor
peanuts), fruits of all kinds (even APP
pies, chickens, pigs, goats, COWS, bees
and horses; he raises enough to feed
without buying one dollars worth.
Doesn't that sound as though Florida
is the farmers paradise? AS home
that gives everything in return for
honest work, no state can equal Flor
ida. Summer and winter it is equally
pleasant, as we hope to prove to peo-
pie in the next few years. We expect
many homeseekers in the near future.
Perhaps this letter may point the way
for some reader to this wonderful
State.

GROVES RAPIDLY RECOVERING.

Since the great freeze Florida has
been watched with an anxious eye, to
see how the orange industry would
fare in the course of a year or two.
The recupera ton of our groves has
been phenomenal, and the general i'm
preston is that few years from now
will see Florida again i'll the front
rank of orange producing countries.
Two of our exchanges treat this phase
of the subject in the following Ian
guage:
'iSome orange growers of Orange
county say within year they will
have better orange groves than they
had before the freeze.
GLOW about the crop next year?'
eft will be quite large, and I be-
lieve that half million boxes is low
estimate. The groves are coming into
bearing rapidly. The owners have
been giving them every possible atten-
ton, some growers even mortgaging
their places to raise money to fertilize
the groves. The groves cannot fail to
show the effect of this energetic work,
and the next few years will show
some surprising results.
"The vegetable crop of the Manatee
river section will also be very large,
and, in fact, I believe that the acre.
age is twice as large as it was last
year. A large quantity of vegetabl
will be shipped from that section.

tobacco, and South Florida is pretty

we'll fixed. While some of the tobac-
co-growers are not receiving as good
prices as they expected, yet, 60 or ~
cents per pound for pole-cured tobac>
co cannot be beat very often, and it is
not necessary to go to Klondike to
find gold mine. Large quantities of
commercial fertilizer have been used,
and the people can scarcely get it fast
enough"

GOOD ROADS FOR FLORIDA.

Good roads, it is said are an indica-
ton of a prosperous country. 1t is
likely, however, that the good roads
are a cause, rather than an effect OF
the prosperity. That prosperity is in
evidence wherever good roads are seen
cannot be questioned.
Floridians, of all people should have
good roads In the first place road
making in Florida is an easy and in
expensive operation as compared to
road making in some other sections OF
the country We are free of the pesky
mud, and we have comparatively lit
tie of the washing that is the dread
of roadmakers in the country with

all he has to do is to get the numbers
relating to the conveyances an at a
glance find out how his title stands.
Or the recorder (there should be a
separate officer) not as now the clerk
of the circuit court, for recording
deeds, at least in those counties hav-
ing population of over $1,000 should
furnish one with an abstract of the
title for, comparatively with the enor-
nous charges of these abstract COM
panies, a nominal sum, say Is cents
for each extract.

ORANGE NOTES.

Mr.. Andrew Froscher, of this place,
has made a most valuable discovery
for the relief of orange groves that
are afflicted with what is termed the
red rust. The red rust has been found
most prevalent upon trees that have
been too freely stimulated by heavy
fertilizing, resulting in loss of the
fruit and set back to the growth of
the tree. After making numerous ex-
periments, the government announced
that the only relief was to stop fore
ing the tree, but Mr.. Froscher has dis
covered a spray that effectually de-
stroys the rust and restores the tree
to a healthful state. Mr.. Foscher has
spent considerable money and time in
securing this remedy, but has con-
vinced all who have used the same, or
who have visited his grove, that it is
an effectual remedy. Those who are
interested will do we'll to correspond
with him regarding it-Titusville
Star.
J. Gates, very reliable citizen of
Manatee. corrects published state
ment to the effect that most of the or
ange crop of that county has been
already sold at from $1.75 to $500 per
box Mr.. Gates thinks the statement
is made to keep buyers out of that
county and states that only two small
crops have been sold-Tampa Times.

clay or loan soil. We have the most
perfect foundation for road beds that
can be desired. We have few steep
hillsides to be graded down, and in
fact everything appears in our favor.
Notwithstanding this we have poor
roads. The heaviest roads that could
we'll be imagined. In the orange grow
ing region of the State these heavy
roads are a source of great expense to
the orange grower. An orange grove
in full bearing will produce a greater
weight to the acre than any other
crop that is grown anywhere, and as
this fruit must be carried a greater or
less distance from the grove to the
railway station, it stands to reason
that the grower is put to an unneces-
sarily heavy expense in carriage. Ii
he will do little figuring he will soon
see how it would be to his interest to
submit to, and even plead for, heavy
road tax for the improvement of the
roads. If an orange grove is located
a mile from a shipping station land
they are often four or five times
mile) the grower must go through the
tedious process of hauling eight Or
ten boxes at load, to the horse, and
the trip must of necessity be slow. If
the hauling could be done on good
hard road beds the load could not on
ly be doubled but the trip quickened.
A man with bearing grove of say
ten acres will readily appreciate the
point, as he knows what an expensive
opera ton it is to get his crop to the
what a slow and tedious
one.
What applies to oranges applies to
every other product of the soil,
though perhaps in less degree. Good
roads lightens the expense of trans
portation, and in this way increase
profits, and increased profits of course
mean increased prosperity.
Thus we say that good roads are
more the cause of prosperity than the
effect, and if Floridians wish for bet
ter times to commence the work OF
good road making, they may wait
long. If they commence the work of
improving the roads prosperity is
more than apt to follow at a rapid
pace. Try 1t.

Exquisite Lace Eiadc OF the Fiber of
the Aloe.
Perhaps the most accomplished de-
signer and nccdlewonlaH in the world
is Nine. ST. George, who has charge of
the classes in the government art school
of embroidery at Nicara, Gays an en-
charge. This institution is the glory
of the Austrian capital. The entire
course of instruction, which is free.
lasts. five years, hut many pupils leave
after two or three years, especially
ladies who do not intend to make art
work profession and are satisfied with
knowing the rudiments of either lace
work or art embroidery, for every year
has it's special course. Every years
course has it's special room and instruc-
tress and the pupils cannot go from one
to the other until the year expires. The
pupils of the last years course were
busily mending a magpificenA canopy,
the work of Empress Marie Theresa.
An idea may be formed Of the magni-
tude of the task when it is said that ten
girls under Mime. st. Georges superin-
tendence had been working at it for
ten years already, and she expected it
would take two years more to COM
plete it. Every kind of embroidery, in
Guiding Persian, Indian, Japanese,
Turkish, etc., is done here, and. the
visitor is astonished to see some beauti-
full samples of the "manduty," or spiders
web, made by the Guarini women of
Paraguay and rarely seen in Europe.
This lace is made of the fiber of the aloe
and is so fine that it is made inside Of

not the least breath of wind can
touch it. ......
