Farming and Orange Growing.

In this famous orange growing re-
gion of Florida it is being
clearly shown more. and more
each year that this is a farm
ing as we'll as a fruit growing
country, says the Leesburg CONNER
cia], and, while not observed perhaps,
by many, the foundations for a grand
prosperity are now being laid. Farm
ing and orange growing combined will
make the richest country on earth, and
such is the prospect now before the
people, Only a few years will pass be-
fore all that is expected from this sys-
TEN of operating will be realized, and
when that tine comes real estate will
have enhanced in value and will be-
come more valuable as time progress
es. To-day the attention of men of
means is directed to this State, and
they will come to help in the work Of
development now going on. The in
duStries of Florida and it's resources
are many and valuable and they will
eventually make it one of the richest
states in the Union. And when that
time comes, foremost, if not first, will
be it's combined farming-Orange- grow

The Farmers Garden.


Cultivate often, cultivate thoroughly,
cultivate as soon as it dries up after
a rain. The garden is not hard to keep
in good shape if it is managed right,
and but few hours at time, taken
often, will keep the weeds down and
the vegetables growing. Plant your
garden according to the size of your
family. Unless a very small garden,
do not buy seeds by the packet but
buy by the ounce, pound, pint, or quart
and buy the best and of a reliable seed
firm as it is a great disappointment to
to have the ground all prepared and
for the season properly developed to
plant seeds that were several years
old and would not terminate proper
ly, or fail to grow at all.
There are three things very essential
for good garden: A proper seed bed,
Fertilize the ground well and pillow
late in the fall Your ground will
be in good shape with running over it
with a disk or shallow cultivator in
the spring Put your seeds in with a
drill in straight rows two or three feet
apart and keep cultivating with horse
power. Raise plenty of small fruit
which may be tended in the same man
ner as vegetables. Have a large pOta
to patch. Raise enough to use and
some to SELL Very often you can sell
enough to pay for all the time and eX-
DenSe of raising the entire garden. If
it is not convenient to have the gar
den large enough to plant the main
crop of potatoes and sweet corn close
to the house, have them in a good
place somewhere in the field, as there
should not be less than an acre devOt-
ed to these essential main crops Of
vegetables.
Potato culture is an art easily learn
ed if one takes sufficient interest IL
it. These are the essential elements
of potato raising: Deep blowing.
thoroughly pulverizing seed bed thor

Tlulock then continued, "NoB. wouldn't an electric line look nice the cars having to stop every min ute to allow COW to cross the. track, and maybe some loss of life would be the result" Mayor Alex ander then informed Mr. Truloeh that they had COW ordinance in the council but it failed to pass by one vote, and the man who opposed iV. was from Mr. Trulock's own ward.
 Rev. Caldwell said while the kick ing was in progress he would like. to be heard. He said he would like to kick on the dust in our city : and asked that sprinkliug orGin- aGce be passed.
 AS no one else was to be heard on5 the improvement district subject, q. vote of thanks was rendered the Bluff City Club and the meeting aa- journed.
 The Idea of municipal ownership of an electric car line and lighting plart, in so far as Pine Bluff alone is concernel, was given perfect solar plexus blow at this meeting. The lines funeral was largely st- tended and naturally there were many mourners. The pail bearers only covered the remains with ga. very thin coating of earth, however, and the enterprise may be resur- rected at an early date. Now eet. the capitalists, who are willing to. attempt it, unearth the dead isspe and do the right thing wtbgus. Pine Bluff has now reached a point. in it's growth where an electric car line is almost absolutely essential toz the city's maintenance, and some scheme, it is thought, will soon be devised, whereby the much needed plant will be secured.

A few miles from Acadia Ranch is the sheep ranch of Bayless & Berka- lew. This IS one of the Iergest, if not the largest, sheep ranch in Ari- zona. These gentlemen have over 5000 head on their ranch. Reeen tly they imported a large number of pure bred Merino rams from Mis- souri, at considerable expense. These rams are most interesting. They are large and heavy and the fluffy folds of fat and wool around their necks and bodies are most pe- culiar. These rams become so heavy with fleece that they have to be sheared semi.annuaIly, averag- ing about 15 pounds of wool per head at each clipping. The horns of these animals are most graceful.
 On account of the heavy importa- tions of WOO. just prior to the pass age of the Dingley tariff bill and the consequent low price, Messrs. Bay less & Berkalew have not sold any wool for two years. They there fore have between 60, GOO and 5000 pounds of wool, the clippings of two seasons, on hand. However, wool is rapidly advancing and before long this wool will be shipped to Boston. These gentlemen have oyer $10, GOO invested in wells, wind mills, pipes and tanks alone. Their corralslfor watering purposes are near large prairie where grasses grow most abundantly, making an excellent pasture. Could water be secured on this prairie mesa, the land would be of exceptional value In addition to their sheep ranch, Mess,s. Bay less 65 Berkalew have a number of other ranches on the San Pedro riv- CT, as well as extensive interests in New York, Kansas and Arizona.
 If every man had 10 put on the scales the weight of his sweetheart in gold before he could marry her, 1 am afraid there would not be many marriages in this country, or any other. I have recently learned of a most remarkable instance of where the husband had to pay her weight in gold for his wife. The event oc cured many years ago in the State of Sonora, Mexico, a few miles south of the Arizona line The maid was Mexican and her name was Guadaloupe Baragon and she was engaged to cousin also named Baragon. Baragon applied to a priest to marry them, but he refus ed to do so on account of the young couples kinsbip But Baragon was persistent and finally the priest told him that if he would put his brides weight in gold on the scales he (the priesD would perform the ceremony This the bride groom consent ted to do. His bride was only 14 years old at the time and fortunately weighed but 96 pounds. Baragon promptly put 96 pounds in gold on tue scales, approximately worth SIP, 500, and the ceremony was per- formed. Tcday the woman in the case lives only seven miles from Oracle, and I have the story from ore of her sons. Her first husband died and she was subsequently, mar ried to Jesus Castro. She is now about 50 years old and weighs l5O pounds. She has given birth to thirteen children, nine of whom are aow living. It is an old adage that a good woman is worth her weight in gold. and the man who paid the price in this instance died thinking so

SCENERY FOR A NEW PLAY.
Its Preparation In Modern Tseasers
nm InterpafinE PruIess.

Its Preparation In Modern T5 caters
an Interesting Process.
The preparation for a new pay, as
far as the scenery is concerned. is most
interesting. A complete model in min
iature is made, about the size Of one
of the German toy theaters seen in the
shops. The picture is carefully painted;
the rocks, if there be any. and the
foliage are cut out, and all the details
are followed with no less thought than
when the real affair is attacked.
The work is done in water color,
mounted OH ~pasteboard, and III the
scheme be IN interior there are real
curtains in miniature. flights of steps,
and the hangings. all seriously worked
out. 1t is something that would de-
light the heart OF a boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
is produced. and are then put away
on shelves. elias! only to warp and be.
come covered with dust.
But the master painters work does
not end here by any means, for there
are lights to be arranged, since they
play an important part in the per-
Torrance and must be regulated by
the scheme of color; so there are long
conferences with electricians and many
discussions with the makers of glass
shades whereby the exact tints may be
obtained.
When every detail has been settled,
then the great acres Of canvas are
spread on the paint frames, and the
drawing is begun. Large china pots
are used for helcolors. These are filled
with paints. which are mixed with
water and a size, and enormous
brushes put the pigment on the can
vas. 1t is wonderful to watch the
artist, who dashes. on the paint with
no apparent care and who has to work
fast to v the surface before the
color dries. which it does quickly
