he cast many wary glances behind to

Protecting on Shares.

Mr.. w. H. Mcfarland, who paid
an apparatus for the protection of
orange trees against freezes, says the
Titusville Advocate. He has given it
practical tests before several leading
men of the state, and has proven that,
with the apparatus he uses and the
heat generating chemicals, he has dis
covered that he can keep an orange
tree at temperature of "a degrees
when it is down to 10 degrees on the
outside of his protection.
The practical part of his invention is
this: The weight of his invention is
only fourteen pounds for averaged
sized trees; three men or boys can in
three minutes place the protection over
a tree; in ten minutes can give the tree
10 degrees higher temperature than
outside; in half an hour II degrees,
and keep it there all night; the amount
of fuel he uses for the tree, per night,
costs about 1H cents. Now, if this is
as Mr. Mcfarland claims, and he in
vites investigation, it is certainly a
godsend to Florida. To start with, the
protection apparatus costs, per tree,
SIS: the growers cannot find the capital.
Mr.. Mcfarland thinks he can form a
company, to furnish capital, and then
make ten year contracts with growers
to protect a certain number Of trees for
them, his company to receive one-third
of the crop from such trees so protect
ed. That makes the growers and COM
pany's interests as one.

Business Methods.

An ideal farmer, says the Texas
Farm and Ronch, must not only know
when and how to pillow and plant, and
reap and thresh, and gather into barns;
how to take advantage of favorable OPP
pOrtunities for all his work; know the
habits, conditions, qualities and. re-
Quirements of all the farm stock, and
so apportion his work that all demands
may be met, but his farming as
whole land there is more of it than is
mentioned above) must be conducted
on correct business principles. Wise
Franklins, Girards, Coopers, Peabodies
and Wanamakers have formulated
rules of business which have been &C
cepted by the business world as
aXioms, and those who have adhered
to them have acquired wealth and
fame and honor among men. Wealth
alone may have been acquired in open
violation of these wholesome maXims,
and notoriety also, but neither fame

Too Early Yet.

Even yet no authoritive estimate of
the damage done to orange trees by
the late freeze can be made. That the
trees are seriously injured is certain,
but whether this injury is confined to
new growth only, or extends further
down to the old portions of the tree,
time alone will tell. The growers as a
whole are rather discouraged, though
many claim that the damage was not
as they are at first supposed.
1t is pretty generally admitted that
the building of fires in open groves ac-
complished but little good, on account
Of the high wind prevailing Sunday
night. The fires built in Mr.. Stetsons
shielded grove accomplished the de-
sired result, and the trees are in good
condition.

Encouraging Reports.

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
How did the cold serve you? How
are Mr.. StetsOn's trees under the shed?
We had perfect success with our sheet
iron stoves under cloth. The tempera-
ture at 9:3O p NJ. was 80 inside and
same outdoors owing to wet grOund)
and in half an hour the coolest part of
parts of houses were SO and stayed
there or at 40 till after sunrise, with
very small hard wood fires, and
hampers closed. The nursery is not
hurt at all. We only lost tender trOpi-
cal things outdoors, and nothing of
commercial value, escaping splendidly.
The. thermometer stood at "a mini
mum with 26 to % in BraidentOwn.
The tender grOwthS on lemon trees
are partially killed but not all, as there
are a good many blooming right along.
Old orange trees full of bloom and
growth escaped perfectly.

Stockmen's Resolutions.

StOckmen'S Resolutions.
The text of the committee report on
needed legislation presented to the
stockmen's Association at it's meeting
in Kissimmee on Tuesday of last week,
and by it adopted and referred to the
legislative committee, to be presented
to the legislature, reads as follows:
81 We think that a state recorder of
marks and brands should be appointed
by the Governor, whose duties shall be
to designate the particular brand, OF
mark and brand, to be used by the ap-
plicant; defining the position on the
animal upon which the brand shall be
placed. He shall keep a record of all
marks and brands that may be record
ed him, with the name and residence
of the persons recording same; said re-
cord shall be open to the inspection of
the public, and he must furnish the
owner with a certified copy Of the re-
cord of same; said certificate shall be
prima facie ownership of said mark
and brand. His duty shall be to see
same mark and brand.
'2. We further recommend that all
sales of cattle shall be recorded, to-
gether with the marks and brands of
said cattle; and that they be inspected
in the district where said cattle range;
and that said inspection shall be made
by the inspector in that district; and
he shall file with the state recording
officer and the clerk of the Circuit
Court in the county where the sale was
made record of same, and the cattle
shall be inspected before any marks
and brands are altered.
So We further recommend that the
addition of a bar, figure, letter or char
acter to an existing brand should not
be allowed.
81 We further recommend that the
Constitution be amended SO that COun-
ty Judges in all counties where there
is no criminal court be given trial
jurisdiction in all cases Of cow stealing
or fraudulently altering marks or
brands. 1t would save considerable
money to the various counties and it
would deprive the thief of the privilege
of bribing witnesses and running them
off. Unfortunately, in the Circuit Court
cases are too often put off from term
to term.
IS. We further recommend that,
whenever mark OF brand has been
fraudulently altered, obliterated or de-
faced, so that the original cannot be
determined by looking at the animal,
the sheriff shall have power to kill the
animal to ascertain the brand so alter
ed. The county shall pay the value of
such animal.
