A No Fence Law.

We copy, this week, from the Re-
porter-Star, a petition, which is being
circulated in Orange county, in favor
of a local option stock law, that is
so far as hogs are concerned. We
like the idea, but see no reason why
all stock should not he included. The
argument against the constitutionality
of the fence law of this state is un-
answerable. 1t is conliscatiOn without
the excuse of being for public use, and
without any compensation. If any
one, not resident Of the state, would
enter suit, in the United States court,
the law would unQuestionably be de-
cided to be unconstitutional. There is
no reason why property owners should
be taxed so heavily to keep out few
dollars worth of other peoples stock.
1t is hopeless to try to get no fence
law in Florida in this generation. But
if some one who is interested would
only bring suit to test the law, we
have no doubt that it would be set
aside as unconstitutional Why does
not some one who has the means, test
the matter?

A Cartoon.

We have all read about the scarcity
of harvest hands in the Western
states. They have been so much in
demand, some years, that extravaganza
wages were offered. In addition, the
papers have had much sport over the
privileges offered as an inducement
to work
The most amusing thing that we
have seen on the subject, was a car
toon in the last number of Farm and
Home. It is entitled Mr.. Hirem,
Farm Hand, During Harvest Time.
1t represents him seated in a high
backed arm chair, with one leg over
his knee, his arms folded, a cigar in
his mouth and a crown on his head.
The old farmer stands at his left hold
ing out a number of cigars in each
hand and asking "Have fresh cigar,
Mr.. Hirem?" And "I've sent to town
for a case of beer" Just behind
the farmer stands his wife saying, 81

Enforce the Vagrant Law.

Last year we urged the passage of
a stringent law against vagrancy. The
legislature did pass such law, but
now we find much complaint, in the
papers of this state, that the law is not
enforced. That is largely the fault
of the people. The officers are quick
to note how public sentiment stands.
They are servants of the people, are
now candidates for reelection and if
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-09-26

they can be convinced that the people
want the law enforced they will do
it.
There is an old saying, ''Satan finds
some mischief still for idle hands to
do" The truth is that most of the
criminals are also vagrants If we
could drive intoxicating liquor from
the state and compel all idle fellows to
earn their living, jails and prisons
would soon be empty.
However as it is not probable that
we shall get rid of the liquor at
present, let us do the next best thing
and insist that if Migrants will not

work on the streets without wages.

A Get-Rich-Quick Scheme.


Under this title, Wallace's Farmer
tells of a plan which has been worked
in Iowa. While we have not heard Of
anything of the kind being tried in
the South, it may he sprung upon
some Of you at any time. The account
fills more than two columns of the pa
per. Briefly, abe scheme is as fol-
lows: A man came around asking
farmers, who wish to sell out, to list
their place with a real estate agent
and to sign a contract which reads as
follows: leaving off the heading:
''List and advertise my property on
terms stated below without expense
to me for showing the property to
prospective buyers; try to find me a
buyer for the property described here
IN below including same in your adj
vertisements at the price named here
in below, provided you fulfil your part
in less than ninety days. And as
soon as you fulfil your part will pay
you at Mason City, Iowa, two per cent
of list price. Nothing in this agree
ment shall prevent me from selling my
own property the same as though this
application had not been made. In
case l do not pay you the amount due
on this contract within thirty days
after it becomes due, and I am so
notified, 1 agree to pay you a reason
able amount for attorneys fees"
The farmer who signs this contract
supposes that it is, like most real
estate agents bargains, no percentage
to be paid unless a sale is made. But
the catch is in the wording, the agent
is not required to sell, but only try
to find a buyer. If he can prove that
he has advertised the property, he
has done all that the contract calls
for, and the commission is due. Farm
ers nave found themselves called upon
to pay hundreds of dollars for adver-
Using which has not benefited them
in the least. In most cases the scamp
offers to compromise for a much small
Ter sum than the contract calls for if
the victim will settle without being
sued.
The moral is, do not sign papers for
strangers. They often cause much
trouble and loss. If a stranger makes
you some wonderful offer, take the
contract to a lawyer and find out just
what you are binding yourself to- do
before you sign.

about forestry. You may think that
it is not a matter of much Importance
in a state which has so many thou
sands of acres of uncleared timber
land. Yet, if you will stop to con-
slider moment you will remember
that a few years ago as good timber
land as could be found in the state
was offered for $1.O0 per. acre, and
often for less. while now it sells readi-
ly at $500 and often more Also that
within the past few years the price
Of lumber has advanced very rapidly,
so that now the price is almost pro-
hibitive of building to- people Of
moderate means. When youconsider
these things, you will see that it is on
ly question of a few years when
timber will really be scarce. We do
not advocate the planting of valuable
cleared land to timber, but there are
thousands of acres which are of little
use for crops and which might be-
come very valuable if planted to good
timber trees
The author of the pamphlet sent out
by the State Board of Health, part
of which we quote, uses some strong
language in describing the house fly,
ditions and circumstances, you will
agree that it is none too strong.
Screens in all doors and windows are
the best method of keeping them at
bay, but some will get in in spite of
the utmost care. For those that get
in, use sticky fly paper.
We call your special attention to
the petition which is being circulated
in Orange county against the hog law.
We have an editorial about it else
where, but as that might be overlook
ed, we mention it here.
The item of history about tomato
growing, from the DeLand Record,
gives a striking picture of what is
being done in this state. Other parts
of the state could probably give nearly
or quite as remarkable instances of
success.
Do not overlook the article from the
Rural New Yorker, ON the mulch
Method" of growing trees. We hope
that you will try it.
Did you ever hear of a breed of
hogs which do not have split hOofs,
but their hoofs are solid like those
of a mule? An article describing
such "a breed will be found elsewhere
this week.
The account of a strawberry patch

sissippi.

Jamaica and the Mango.

Gle because he thinks that my readers
will understand me as asserting that
it has taken sixteen years to bring the
Alphonse mango into fruiting instead
of four as he looks at it. That very
excellent fruit, the Alphonse, had re-
ally nothing to do with the question
in mind when that Objectionable SEN
tence was written. The fact is, i had
something vastly more important in
mind and I now see that for sake Of
brevity failed to make my idea clear.
Hence acknowledgment is most
cheerfully made The fact is, had
ly of six marched Alphonse mango
trees having been introduced into Flo
rida within the past sixteen years,
and that not one of these is now Nv
ing and that the Alphonse mango came
actually from buds taken four years
ago from one of these dying trees.
in this somewhat laggard system of
mango culture. I'm his report of 1901
Col. J. G.. B. Griffith says that in 1886
he imported into Jamaica II AlphOnse
mango trees from india Two of
these survived and were planted on
his ground And fifteen years after
importation had not fruited OF the
second importation of six ,Alphonse
trees none survived. Of his third i'm
portation, made in 1901, eight sur
vived.
Mango culture in Jamaica reaches
back to the Introduction of the far
famed Number eleven, one hundred
and twenty-four years ago, coming
as the fruitage of war between France
and England. The mango trees
spread rapidly all over the island
fruiting abundantly in most places,
though there are many localities
where, ON account of excessive rain
fall, they seldom or never fruit.
Thirty-six years ago marching was
introduced into the government gar
dens, but this mode of propa cation has
never been generally adopted.
Twenty-Five years ago the director
of the public gardens, in his annual
report, writes: cit is often asked can
nothing be done with the thousands of
tons of mangoes annually produced
in this island, for the most part, left
to lie on the ground and rot for want
of using?' When we look. at the hun
dreds, and even thousands, of mango
trees that are coming up all along this
East Coast, we see that we are face to
face with this same ugly question.
In some localities this will very soon
be a very practical one. If our
present system of propa cation is to
be pressed to the front, as now, it is
certain that our present mode of in
arching will do no more for these trees
than it is doing in Jamaica 1t is
quite evident that our English neigh
boris see how the mango growth of the
island has run away from their long
tried system Of marching, and they
are now claiming to find in their mode
of budding a hopeful way out of their
unfortunate dilemma.
