The Phosphate Industry.-The phos-

only within the last ten years, has as

thousands of employees are daily en-

where it is manufac tured and put into
available shape for the farmers in fer

The magnificent forests of long leaf
yellow pine present another great
fea ture of Florida's resources. Mil
ions of feet of this excellent timber
are cut into lumber and shipped 20
all parts of the world. Thousands Of
acres of these forests are yet tsanding
in their Original growth and perfec

Homemade Frost Warnings.

During the present season probably
every Louisiana sugar PLANTER has
realized the desirability of some in
strument that would translate the
probabilities of the Weather Bureau
into certainties, for local use; Or, even
to anticipate the bureaus frost warn
ings. | have made a discovery that
promises to do this, and every person
who wishes to try it, can do so now,
and become familiar with it's action
during the present winter.
My discovery is this; in an anaeroid
barometer there IS frost region; it
is next beyond the highest limit Of
fair or northeast winds, but it is not
very evident in an ordinary barome-
ter as offered for sale, bUL it can be
developed by changing the adjustment
of levers so as to bring into evidence
the extreme limit of reliable motion;
the frost region is at this extreme
limit.
The change can be easily made by
a matchmaker or any person handy
with tools, in this way: take the
works out of the case, then take off
the band and dial, now look for the
chain, and for the screw that regu-
Ia ties the throw of the lever; take a
screw driver that fits the screw and
hold up the barometer SO that the
chain is horizontal, now slack the
screw back until the chain just tight
ems again. The spring may need adj
justing. Press the lever lightly and
water the chain; if it keeps tight,
with no trace of sagging, the extreme
limit of relia BILE motion of your ba-
rometer needle is then reached.
You may now replace the dial and
needle, and return the works to the
case, but l prefer to erase all words on
the dial, also the threes from 80 and
81, and two from 20, leaving 9. 0. l.,
with the minor figures intact, and
then set the dial so that 1 is at the
top, and place the needle at 0. If you
have another barometer, you may no
tice when it stands exactly at 80, and
if your needle is not at O, place it
there. ! also place the marking nee
die at 0, and let it remain there as a
standard line, so that any unusual mo-
ton, up or down, will be so distinctly
visible, at a distance of ten feet, as to
attract attention.
The divisions call degrees instead
of inches.

again in October SOW oats and ferti-
lie as before. By this plan of pro-
cedure the farmer can raise two crops
per year of excellent hay at the mini
mum of expense, and they VII be har-
vested, the one before the rainy sea-

them in the best possible condition.
improvement of the Lanu.-The
land will steadily grow richer, and the
crops heavier under this system. Al
ter a while the land will become foul.
1t viii have plenty off crabgrass, sand
spurs and quantities of other weeds
The farmer should not worry about
these, but the contrary. While he has
been applying concentrated fertilizers
nature is taking this method to aid
him by furnishing gratuitously a gen
erous supply of the humus so much
needed by the sandy soils of Florida.
If the peas are harvested by Septem-
Der i, there is nearly two months in
which to grow a iuxuriant crop of
green manure. Sow the oats and
blood and bone among the weeds and
plow all under together as shallow as
possible. If the sod of grass is very
tough 60 over it with smoothing
harrow, and smooth it and cut it up.
The oats will find their way up
through, and in due time the roots
will feed greedily on the decaying
vegetat ton.
No matter how weedy and trashy
the ground is, do not on any account
pillow before you SOW. There is needed
good solid ground right under the
seed. If the blowing is done first and
the seed sown on top and narrowed in.
the spring drouth will bring them to
naught as surely as it comes. The
buzzard grass, rag weed, dog fennel
ETC., may be seven feet high, and spots
of dense crabgrass and sanhspur two
feet and as thick as it can grow. vet
the best crop of oats will grow right
on these spots. Let the soil become

Culture of Oats.

There is no need of buying oats in
Florida, even in the thinnest soi,s of
the sand hills which are fit for cutti-
vation at all, if the farmer will make
wisely directed efforts to grow thero.
A good preparation for a crop of oats
is to grow cowpeas, make them INTO
hay, then turn under the stubbl- IN
October. 1t is rather late now to SOW
oats, though they may be sown even
in February and make "a light crop.
If sown in November or December
they will, stool out much more than if
sown in February, though both SOW
ings will ripen about the same time.
Sowing the Seed.-On thin pine nd
no more than three pecks per acre
should be sown, If a crop of grain is
sought, though more may be sown up
to two Bushels per acre, if only for
age crop is desired. Only rustproof
seed should be used; it is a sheer
waste Of time to sow any other. Put
one sack Goo pOunds) of blood and
bone and pillow oats and fertilizer I'M
der as shallow as a furrow can be
turned. Some time in January, when
the oats are beginning to stool and
the roots are filing the ground, SOW
broadcast one hundred pounds of nj
trate of soda per acre and there will
hn III rtot e IL,
| a crop.
1t is great mistake to sow oats
thick on light pine land. The poorer
the soil the fewer plants it can sus-
tain to the point of developing seed,
| though more seed would make more
foliage. 1t has been said that oats
should be sown thick in Florida, be-
cause the climate is SO warm that they
will not stool out and cover the
ground. This is an error. The reason
why oats do not stool in Florida is be-
cause they are sown too thick or too
| late, or both. If two bushels of seed
are sown there is NO room for stool
| ing; if they are sown in January
| there is no time for stooling. Oats
which are sown early and thinly will
some times stool out to the number of
| twenty or thirty stalks from one seed,
and ten to twenty are common. II
any of our readers are in the habit of
delaying their sowing until January,
they are probably of the firm opinion
| that oats in Florida will not stool
Harvesting.-Th oats will be har-
vested about May in South Florida:
later in North Florida. Cut when the
grain is in the hard dough and the
straw is still green. Let them cure in
the sun, then bind in convenient
sheaves and haul in, and the farmer
will have complete feed of grain and
hay that will be all a team will need
o. the hardest labor.
Early in June sow peas and manure

ing loaded with hundreds of crates Oh
freshly cut lettuce. Tine car is over
sixty feet In length, butt very much
after the easy-rolling style of a Pull
man sleeper, and is made for speed
and use on the fastest express trains
The superior merit of the car is in its
perfection of dryness and evenness to
temperature. The moisture is carried
off by system of pipes as rapidly as
it accumrLlat ties through the evapora-
ton of the ice and is not absorbed by
any article stored in the car. The door
of the car, by means of patent de-
vice, is made alright when closed.
There is no greater jolt or jar than
would be had in a f1St-ciass passen-
ger coach. Thee cast of ice is cheaper
from the fact that one icing is suffi-
cient for any one shipment from Flor
ida to New York.
The peach growers of Georgia
would perhaps find it to their interest
to investigate the merits of this new
refrigerator car before the season for
shipment arrives. If an increased
profit can be had by it's use, the CO.
operation of our railroads should be
secured, and all the benefits that can
be had from a better means Of trans
portation taken advantage of.
Truck Farming.-The climatic con-
ditions of Florida are such that the
business of truck farming can be sue
cessfulny carried on at season of the
year which is unsuited to that indus
try farther north. At the close of the
shipping season in Florida truck farm
ing in the latitude of Georgia wiz be
just ready to continue the supply.
This is a very happy state of affairs,
and l trust that in few years this
infant industry will broaden and de-
veIop into one of the most important
of our southern country.
In Florida the cultivation of celery
is beginning to receive considerable
attention. The people are hopeful of
raising a large supply during the
present season, which, under improv-
ed care, will produce a plant equal
to the celebrated Kalamazoo celery.
AT present the greatest difficulty
seems to be in securing a perfect
bleach, and good flavor. [ feel assur~
ed that this trouble will be overcome
and another enterprise launched on
the road to success. AS the truck
farming industry of Florida broadens
and develops, industrial plants are es-
tab,ished which turn out thousands OF
crates, baskets, ETC., which are need
ed by the shippers, so that all the
money spent from the time the seed
are planted until loaded on the car for
shipment is kept at home and ci1cu-
lated among the people.
Long Staple Cotton.-The long sta
pie cotton growers of Florida are nat
uraIy somewhat discouraged at the
prices received for that staple, and eX-
press a determined desire to curtai.
the acreage for 1899, devoting the
acreage so cut off to growing vegeta-
bCes and home supplies.
