Test the Planter.

s
after the corn has been graded, it
is. important to make planter test in
order to get the plates best adapted
for the different samples. Do not fail
to make this test. If the planter fails
to drop the desired numoer of kernels
to hill 80 to 95 times out of every 100
the plates should be ground or filed I'M
til they drop the required number
The plates adjusted to each sample
should then be put with the sample to
avoid any confusion at planting time.
Then place the seed in gunny sacks

Two weeks ago tariff reform was in
the air, excluding every other national
question. Now it is almost as COM
pletely folded away as free coinage Of
silver, and the regulation OF railway
rates is the imminent question; al
most IS intricate as the tariff itself.
The indications are that the President
has powerful backing on this question
and that some Western Senators owe
election to their advanced position on
this question alone. Moreover the
Bryan wing Of the Democratic party,

the measure and at a recent caucus of

NOTHING TO FEAR.

Although there may be times when
it would seem to those who are the
least hit inclined to pessimism that
the way seems burdensome to those
who are struggling for the advance
ment and progress OF the fair State Of
Florida, our resources are so inexhaust-
ible that there are hardly any obsta-
eles-at least none have yet appeared
that are insurmountable by the sturdy
sons of the Peninsular State or our
adopted citizens who have come here
to make their home, being driven from
their Northern homes by the elements
that rob them Of health, which, taken
from the human family, also means
unhappiness
Within the past few days the people
OF Florida have been put to the test,
and by the destructive elements Of
wind and cold our very existence
seemed threatened. Some despaired,
while others we're inspired by the in.
junction that "the Lord helps those
who help themselves" and went to
work to do battle With the elements.
While the prospect was gloomy, the
result has shown that the men who
are determined in their efforts are not
heavy losers, and there will only be
smaller supply, many crops having
been saved.
But the soil OF Florida is so varied
that other crops than those that are so
generally grown can be planted, aud
the trucker, although checked for a
time in his labors, can turn to most
any vegetable grown and in short
time produce crop that is always in
demand.
A rotation OF crops is also a good
thing for the producer, for by so do
ing the market is less liable to become
glutted in one particular line, and in
consequence the prices will range
higher and what has seemed misfor-
tune at first glance, will in the end
prove a benefit.
Many people who come to Florida
are IN search Of a home where they
can escape the severe weather of the
North, and many wonder if the coun-
try is growing colder. From statistics
one learns that in 1853 all the lime, cite
ron and banana trees were killed by
frost in the vicinity Of St. Augustine,
as well as many curious evergreens on
the 81. Johns River, and from time to
time since that time we have had re-
verses that have done temporary
damages, which have proven blessing
in later years, as they have turned the
attention OF the husbandmen to less
hazardous pursuits,
With so favored a climate and thous-
ands OF delicate people in our midst in
search Of health, the least severity in
the weather is heralded to all quarters
OF our country; yet at its worst it is
far preferable to the more rigid cli-
mates, and the invalid foregoes the one
or two days OF diagreeabIe weather,
while the farmer knows there is no
great calamity in store for him, and he
has nothing TO fear-no cause TO give
up in despair.

bloom, il will be summer time in the
