Putting Out Citrus Groves.

Quite number of our people are
showing their faith i'm the citrus in
dustry by paying careful attention to
their trees and putting out new ones.
Among others who have BEEN putting
out trees lately, we mention Mr.. j. M.
Snedegar, who is putting out quite a
grove at Lake Hancock and another
just outside THE city limits near Mr..
Crigler's place.
Mr. II. L. WILSON, has been putting
out some grape fruit trees out near
Phosphoria, where he has considera-
bic interests in old bearing orange
groves already.
DR.. W.. I. Whitledge is adding to
the John Bloumt grove near Hooker
Prairie which he recently purchased
Mr.. w. III. Johnson is arranging to
put in a four acre grape fruit grove
at Winter Haven and there are others.
South Florida must and will continue
to supply the country with the choic-
est and highest priced fruit. and our
people who stick to the business Will
come out winners.-CourierI Inform

farmers were gradually withdrawing
to other parts of the country. lit oc-
Cured to S. Chivers, a highly esteem
ed farmer, that it would be a good
idea, instead Of leaving the neighbor-
hood, to start a fruit farm. He did
so. This was twenty-five years ago,
and, though he had then only about
500 acres of land, today he has 5000.
His strawberry fields stretch away
across the country; he has mot been
able to secure the land in adjacent
plats, and consequently you have
drive of six miles to cover the whole
of his holding. And further than this
he has provided employment year af-
ter year for about 600 hands to do
nothing but pick strawberries, rasp-
berries, plums and apples; and where
there was distress there is now per-
feet hive of industry, and prosperity
abounds in villages within a radius of
ten miles of Histon. Directly the fruit
is picked it is carried off and turned
into lam. Of course the field hands
are employed only in the fruit season,
but in the winter about 500 hands are
employed in the large factory he has
erected in making marmalade and jel
lies.

tilization, however, depend on the af-
ter treatment up to the time the
grapes are about half grown. The soil
should be we'll stirred after every
heavy rain and the last two or three
times should be with sweeps on the
cultivator instead of shovels, thus sim
ply scraping the surface and keeping
clear of the root feeders that then
get so near the surface. When the
fruit is two thirds grown al cultiva-
ton should cease and the vineyard al
lowed to remain that way until next
winter. &. X. McQuarrie.

Growing Egg Plant.

Mr.. S. A. Cook, a practical Georgia
trucker tells the readers of Vick's
Magazine how he makes success of
the culture of egg plants. He says:
There are a great many persons ev-
en- here i'm the South, and very fair
gardeners too, who do not make a sue
cess of growing egg plants. A care
less cultivation is most likely to fail
in the attempt always and, yet, just
one or two requirements met and egg
plant growing is as simple and easy as
that of any crop [ could name.
There are not a great many varie-
ties and one will not care to have any
better kind than the we'll known New
York Improved.
The chief obstacle to be. guarded
against after one has procured first
class seeds, is that of the active, ubiq-
uitous, tiny insect known as the flea
beetle.
To insure success in this direction
I have made it a practice for twenty
years of having the Plant frame for
growing the plants elevated four or
five feet above the surface of the
ground. Posts are inserted and a
three by three frame placed upon
them with a slight declension made
Out lof fve-inch planks. Holes or
cracks are left in the bottom to in
sure perfect drainage. Good garden
soil is put in and firmly compacted
to a depth of three inches. The
frames are made ready ten days or so
before time for sowing the seeds and
the glass put on and kept on. A rag
or two saturated with turpentine, or
small vial of bisulphide or carbon is
put inside the frame and a slight
crack left I'm it. If there are any flea
beetles in the soil they will soon get
out and they cannot get back.

For the Florida Agriculturist
Winter Work in the Vineyard

The owners of vineyards in the
Southern States will find the months
of January and February the most
favorable for the main prepartt on for
the next crops such as trimming,
pruning, fertiizing and blowing, but
for setting out new vines the latter
part of February or middle of March
is the best time.
In an established vineyard if the
crop of the previous season has been,
a heavy one there is sure to be good
deal of trimming on dead wood to
do, and otter that is attended to, the
pruning proper is next I'M order.
Some men prefer to do the p.Owing
before pruning, but l think the best
way is to trim and prune first, and
by and after that fertilizing and plow-
ing. | don't need to refer here to the
particular methods of pruning in
vogue in different parts of our counr
try, because every one has got to use
a good deal of hard common sense to
guide him, let the system on which he
works be ever so vel. defined; this
with the enormous number of the diff
ferent varieties in cultivation renders
hard and fast line in grape pruning
an impossible thing to follow. Anoth-
er obstacle to any definite. plan in
pruning is the form of training of the
vine, some having their vineyards
trelliSed with wire, others preferring
to have a post to each vine and train
ing it on that, and each different
method of training the vine, making
the pruning different as we'll.
| have tried both of the ways of
training the vine and after a number
of years experience [ find the single
post to a vine system the best for this
section and one very strong point in
it's favor with me, is the facilities it
gives for thorough cultivation in be-
ing able to cultivate or pillow both
ways, thing you cannot do when
wire is used.
The most important work of the
whole year, however, is the fertiliza-
tom, and a question that often arises
among horticulturists, is, should fer
tilizing or blowing be done first in the
vineyard?" And this is another point
on which experts differ, and it is like
the pruning question, best sol7ed by
individual experience. Some prefer

With soil suitably rich, and strong

obstacle that cannot be overcome. The

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Dec A. The weakness Of
stocks today was response to the
world wide tightness in money A
marked effect was also produced by
the Supreme court decision in the Addy-
stone Pipe case, involving an infringe
ment of the antitrust law by an in
dustrial combination. Strenuous efforts
were made by professioal operators to
belittle the force Of this decision on
the ground that the party to the case
was particularly fragrant illustration
of trust formation and that the points
in the case could not apply to the geri-
eral run of industrial combinations, but
the acute effect produced on the securL-
ties Of these combinations argued an APP
prehension on the part of holders that
their value would be impaired by the
decision Stocks of the Industrials fell
anywhere from one to over three points
and showed but feeble rallying power.

for the long account was very mani
fest from the marked weakness in
stocks which have recently advanced,
notably the trunk lines, the Pacifcs and
Sugar. The apprehension over money
affairs turned principally to foreign cen
tiers especially to Berlin and Paris. The
advance in the sterling rate at those
points to very near the gold export
level, marked the influence Of the Bank
Of England's measures to attract funds.
The sterling exchange rate in New York
also advanced, but the money rate both
In Paris and Berlin remained quiet, con-
trary to the fears of the speculative
world. The stagnation of speculation
at those centers probably had to dc
with this result. In New York, on the
contrary, the money rate stiffened as
the day progressed and Hurried TO
twelve per cent at which point it closed.
No loans were made below six per
cent. Some of the borrowers, counting
upon an easy money market following
