Finest Grove on Indian liver
Probably the finest orange grove in
this whole section, if not the finest
anywhere along the west bank OF In
dian river, for fullness of foliage and
for fruiting, is that owned by Mr.. W.
M. Brown, situated in the Turnbun
hammock, about two miles north Of
this place. We had the pleasure Of
strolling over this grove the early part
of this week and found that very few
of the trees show any effect of last

Lake City Agricultural College.

Lake City Agricultural College,
The annual catalogue for 1899 is now
ready for distribution Copies will be
sent to all former students whose adj
dresses are known, and to all others
who request it. Meantime the present
circular will give the important facts
concerning the college.
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
The barracks are being thoroughly
Overhauled, repaired, replastered and
repainted New door frames with
.transoms have been placed in all
rooms in the brick barracks New
dues have been constructed in the
wooden barracks.
Electric lights will be provided
and Prof. Groom and assistants are
now placing the wires.
The preparatory building is being
enlarged by an addition of twenty
feet eastward, thus giving nice rooms
for the classes of Prof. Marion and
Miss Barnes.
The shop will be enlarged by a COM
modulus addition and provision will
thus be made for the classes in draw
ing which have heretofore been much
crowded and inconvenienced.
The room vacated by the drawing
classes will be utilized for library and
reading room purposes.
A new engine and boiler is to be
placed in the machine shop and many
new tools and machines will be added
A building for a WOman'S boarding
hall and dormitory will probably be
| erected 1t is hoped that this will be
ready for use by the opening of the
fall term, or a little later.
ShOp-courses in Electricity, Engi
neering, Woodwork, etc., will be form
ed. The students in these classes will
be set to work directly in learning the
practical parts of the subjects named
No severe or theoretical study will be
required.
At the same time the full engineer
ing course has been made stronger
than before, so that graduates in that
course will be we'll equipped as engi
neers, electricians, etc.
Many changes have been made in
the course of study, all it is believed
to make the work of the student more
satisfactory and beneficial.

dent of everything that comes along,
has concluded that peach growing
promises to be the best and surest

he will put out a considerable acreage

will experiment with other kinds.
Mr.. Snedigar has a fine young grape
fruit grove coming on near this city,
and while he is waiting on that to ma

Manifold Uses of Starch.

uses of starch, in the following arti-
Gle:
The student of starch cannot fail to
be surprised at the abundance and
universal diffusion of that substance
in the vegetable kingdom. No plant
no part of any plant, but has it. In
root, stem, leaves, bark, seeds. The
cells hold it, the cells themselves are
made of form of starch, not differing
at all in composition, but supposedly in
arrangement of particles only, and ca
pable of being converted into the same
substances. Thus starch may be made
into deXtrine, sugar and alcohol; SO
may cellulOse or fiber. Starch is made
into a powerful explosive, so is fiber
Starch, sugar, grape sugar, gum and
some other like substances actually
differ in composition from each other
only in respect to an atom more or less
of water, while their physical charac-
teristicS and uses are as various as
we'll can be.
While starch is usually deposite>. in
the plant to be used again, it is de-
posted during the growing season sole
ly to be taken up at the commence
ment of the next season, and in Obedi-
ence to renewed life-forces changed
first to sugar, and then to leaf, branch,
bark, and SO builds up all parts Oh the
plant In other cases the plants are
used as repositories of starch, to be
employed as food for animals and to
supply the wants of man. For in
stance, the various seeds and tubers
In the first case the good of the plant
alone is provided for; in the last, there
appears an evident design to supply
the wants of entirely different beings
But whether used to increase tissue in
plant or animal, it must change its
form-it cannot be used as starch. An
unripe fruit contains large amount
of starch; when ripe, none. 1t has
taken an atom Of water and is sugar
or in part is in the finty seed, and as
such is the hardest form of starch ma
ture constructs.
1t is also interesting to note that
while the starch in various seeds, tu-
hers and plants is precisely identical
in chemical composition, it differs in
characteristics and uses. 1t may be in
fineness of grain only, or there may be
some foreign substance that cannot be
removed. Pure potato starch has al
unpleasant smell, and as matter OF
fact, great deal of the labor and skill
of manufacturers goes to get rid OF
some natural impurity, it may be col
Oring matter, oils, wax, alum, salts, OF
fibrOuS matter.
AS found in nature, some Starchef
are better for food, as arrow root OF
sage palm and quite probably comp
tie. Cassava starch is largely use(
for tapioca, tapiOca meal, and farina
and, in fact, in these and other forms
nOurishes more men than any Othel
starch as such.
It is not surprising, considering The
great abundance of starch in nature
and it's ease of recovery, that it was
known to the ancients. The Egyp
fans made starch of wheat, and that

Fine Elberta Peach.-Mr. Daniel j.
Atkinson brought to this office Tues
day morning a peach that was a
"peach." 1t was of the famous FL
berta variety and weighed ten ounces.
1t was grown by him on his place three
or four miles southwest from the city
and taken from a two year old tree.
Mr.. Atkinson thinks these peaches
will do as we'll here-that is in the
southern portion Of the county-as in
the noted peach belt Of Georgia, and
will back his judgment by putting out
a large number of trees the coming
fall-The TallahaSSeean.
