Everv Man Should Have a Grove.

Orange growers in Lake county are,
with few exceptions, working up their
groves budding where needed, and CIV
ing the necessary cultivation, says the
Leesburg Commercial There are many
thousands of trees in the county on which
the sweet buds were saved, thus insuring
early crops if not put back by future
freezes. Some of the growers in the vi
cnity of Leesburg will in future cover
their trees completely, use artificial heat
and make their trees absolutely frost
proof. These growers will have oranges
to ship, freeze or no freeze, and will get
fancy prices in the markets. The profit
will be vastly in excess of the cost and
the system, a lighted lamp in each tent,
they will adopt will not only insure the
trees from possible destruction, but the
fruit crops also. There is no doubt about
there being money i'm orange growing
where the trees and the fruit are thus
protected, and the plan is no new thing.
In Italy the orange groves are, ait great
expense, protected every year from kill
ing frosts and the owners there find the
business profitable. Here, in South Flor
ida, every poor man should have an Or
ange grove and have it protected. Put
out an acre of trees, or "a half acre, and
take care of them we'll, fertilize we'll and
carefully cultivate. Put aIent over each
tree, and thus keep the temperature above
the freezing pOnt. 1t can be done, and
no business will pay a larger dividend.

Curing Cowpea Hay.

Permit me to tell your readers how
to cure pea hay.
[ find many farmers, while they rec
ognize the great value of cowpeas for
hay, do not raise them because they
have found them so hard to cure with
out the loss Of nearly if not quite all
the leaves, which are certainly the
best part of the hay, except the pea
itself. Now 1 find pea hay the easiest
cured of anything in the hay line
have tried and that too without the
loss of a single leaf or pea.
Take some little poles about three
inches in diameter and twelve feet
long; set them at convenient distances
apart in the field and about two feet
in the ground. Take two bits of board
two feet long and two or three inches
wide, nail them across thepole about
two feet from the ground crossing
each other at right angles to hold the
peas off the ground and allow the air
to circulate freely under them. Cut
your peas when dry no matter wheth-
er the sky is clear or cloudy, and
without waiting for them to wilt stack
them around the pole on the boards.
making the stack small in diameter
not more than three feet-and as high
as you can reach with the fork. Place
some crab grass or anything that will
shed rain on top, and your peas, rain
or shine, will cure out as bright and
sweet as can be.
In two or three weeks lift pole, peas
and all, place them on the wagon, take
them to the barn, slip the pole out and
NOW them away
By stacking the peas before whiting
they retain all the leaves and peas.
and by lifting pole and all to cart
them to the barn you do not disturb
them and do not rattle them off.
The vines being coarse, and the
leaves thin, if the stack is kept small
in diameter no matter how wet the
season is, the air circulates through
them enough to cure the peas perfect

Successful Colonization and Cassava

Successful Colonization and Cassava.
Mr. B. Remmers, of DeLand, for
merly superintendent of the cassava
starch factory at this place, writes as
follows to the Times Union and Citi-
zen:
OF all the schemes | have heard OF
and have looked into carefully, nave
not found one that l would call the
right thing. In my opinion, colonial
ton should be conducted somewhat on
the following lines:
The proper time for new settlers to
come to Florida is in the fall OF the
wear. so they can put the ground in
proper shape for cultivation and plant
ing during the winter or the early
spring, according to what crops they
intend to raise.
1t is we'll known fact that the
growing of vegetables and fruits of all
kinds is nothing but lottery at best;
first. because of the late freezes, which
are apt to destroy the early crops al
most any year; and, secondly, because
the markets for such products are
oyerstocked. a condition that must be-
come worse from year to year, as
truck farming increases.
The settler should grow these crops
