it is also one of the best hedge plants
for the south, and is being extensively
planted for that purpose. The follow
ing is quoted from the catalogue of
several nurserymen of the south:
During the last weeks the trifoliata
has attracted more attention among
the orange growers and citri-culturists
of this country particularly in Florida
and the sub-tropical region of the Gulf
than any other member of the citrus
family. It's value as a stock for Or

mental planting extending over a De-
Rod of more than twenty years.
The vigor of the trifoliata it's hardi-
ness resistant qualities, stout thorns
and the ease with which it is confined
in small space make it an ideal HEDGE
plant. 1t forms an impenetrable bar

should be small fruits of all kinds on

for sale as there is always a good
market for fruit The Snyder black
berry and the Blackcap and Gregg
raspberries are good varieties to grow
One must also set out currant and
gooseberry bushes and have long

pies to grow are the Duchess, Red AS

Early Richmond, SilverthOrn and
Wragg, and in plums the Miner, Wild

good bed of Strawberries about two

Citrus TrifOliata.


The following article on citrus fruit
raising, from the Kissimmee Valley
Gazette, will be interesting to our
readers:
How to grow oranges and other cit
rus fruits successfully is problem
that has not yet been solved by the
people Of Florida and those who live
along the Gulf coast. Perhaps there
is no subject that is of such absorbing
interest in these most southern States
and one of more vital Importance than
how can these fruits be grown so as
to yield PORTABLE returns for the
labor invested. In recent years the
great difficulty has been to prevent
the trees from being cut down or kill
ed by the billiards. that come at the
season of the year when the trees are
in full vigor of growth and full of sap.
When trees or plants of any kind are
in this condition of growth it does
not take much cold to kill them, as we
all know that when water is being
frozen or converted into ice it expands.
SO if the cold is intense enough to
freeze the sap in the tree, it is certain
to be killed as the cellular tissue of
the bark is burst and the bark is gen
orally separated from the wood, and
death is the result to all that part of
the tree that is frozen. 1t is also a
now established fact that when the
condition they will stand a consider
able freeze Is or 20 degrees above zero
and not be injured very much; as an
instance the first freeze that came in
the years '94 and '95, the trees were
then dormant Some Of them lost their
leaves, but soon started into full vigor
and growth and would have borne
fruit that year, had not the second
freeze caught them a month later
when they were full of sap.
Then the practical question comes
up can anything be done to save the
trees from being winter killed? Dur
ing the past Is or 20 years, the citrus
trifoliata has been introduced into this
country, and used as a stock for grow
ing orange and other citrus fruits
This hardy orange or lemon is a ma
tive of Japan, where i, has been used
for generations as a stock for growing
citrus fruits, it has proved to be per-
fectly hardy as far north as Washing

Essentials for Making a Small Farm
Prof ia hIe


Formerly land was plentiful and If
Il man thought he could proftably
farm more land than he had, all he
had to do was to load his belongings
into 4 wagon, hitch up the oxen, go
west, build a sod or log shanty on the
prairie and go to work on as many
acres as he wished to. Game and fish
Wer abundant and neighbOrs were the
only thing lacking. But now things
have changed; neighbors are plentiful
and land is scarce. The government
land not already taken up is of no &C
count and if a new tract is opened for
hOmesteadS there are hundreds tlcre
ready to get it and the poor man AZ o
distance has no show whatever. AS q
consequence hundreds of men are
obliged to support their family on
twenty acres and even less. The Ques-
ton arises: How can small farm be
small farm must be a general crop
fruit and truck farm. n part of it
must be set apart for the buildings
which should consist Of house, barn,
WoOdshed, hog house and poultry
house. The barn should be large
enough for two horses and one or two
COWS and there should be hay loft
that will hold enough feed for the
horses and COWS. Then there should
be corn crib with a wagon shed be-
tween it and the barn. The horses
ought to be Of the best breed and
weigh from 1000 to 1,4OO pounds each
as they must do the work on the farm
and also haul the produce to market.
The COWS also must be of the best
breed as it does not pay to feed a poor
cow. A pasture of at least One-half an
acre and a house ten by sixteen,
should be provided for the hogs. The
poultry will be found to be a source of
great profit on a small farm and they
should be we'll cared for. A house ten
| feet square will accommodate about
| forty fowls. 1t should be seven f9Gt
high at the south with plen'y Of win
dOws and doors. 1t will pay to have
at least one pen of pure-bred fowls OF

am sorry to say, ana it is too BAD tllat
we are so weak.
To those who are contemplating mi
grating to Cuba, let me say that many
will regret it, for "all is not gold that
gliSteneth." nor is Cuba exactly what
it is painted. Some will make money
and some will come back poorer than
they were when they left. For my
part. | am willing to stay little
longer in Florida and see what kind
of turn affairs will take. Those who
remain here and fight it out | look UP
on as wise men who look ahead and
who do not think of the past nor 81"
much of the present.
Do we have any worse .alan'itirS
and drawbacks than any of the other
states? Do we have the terrible cy-
clones that they have Just had in Wis
c0nsin? Think of the fearful loss OF
life and property. Do we have to cali
on the people Of other states or upon
the Government at Washington for
shelter. food and raiment when our
losses roll up into the millions, and
then wait year and more before our
land produces a mOuthful of food? Oh,
no. We ought to bear our burden will
ingly, and accept freezes and drOuths
without a murmur, for we know our
+ h cd
these dangers to encounter we might
be justified in leaving and seeking Il
safer place. We may not have any
more freezes for years. We do not
know, but we can only wait and see.
A stout heart and a strong arm is
what we want to build up the country.
Those who are weak-hearted cannot
hold out, for when the battle is almost
won their strength fails them and
they have to give up.
Do not put so much stress on oran&-
es. for there are other fruits equally
as profitable. There are pipeappleS,
grapes. plums, peaches and pears. be-
sides numerous other fruits. Why can
not we get a living out of these, be-
sides laying up little? An energetic
man can do it, but we have not the
energy. We have thought and still
think too much of orange culture,
while other fruits were given second
place. or made a kind of side issue.
We must now bring them to the front.
| know of a man who has five acres
in peaches and five acres in grapes,
which brought him in handsome in
come. But he thought more of his or
ange grove and after awhile began
neglecting his peaches and grapes
consequently the trees died back and
the vines are fast dying back also.
Now they are grown up with weeds
and show only too plainly of the raw
ages of neglect Then why is it that
people complain because of failure?
Nature must be encouraged, on she
fails YOU. In some instances she
needs no help but in a case like this
she needs some attention shown her.
''The hand of the diligent maEeth
rich" and if we would adopt this for
our motto | am sure we could not help
but succeed.
We meet obstacles in every kind Of
