No market gardener could do with
out cold frames and conduct his bust
ness profitably. For extra early vcge-
tables and eXtra-late ones they are
equally necessary. Then, too, they are
such Il help in the way Of giving many
kinds of hotbed plants a good growth.
But, useful as they are. cold frames
are seldom used in private gardens, eN-
cept of the rich. Yet they are not cX-
penSive and are very eaSy to make.
The best place for a cold frame is
on the south side of Il hill. There, pro-
tected from the cold north winds, the
plants get the full heat of the sun and
make great growth long before it is at
all possible to grow them in the open.
To make Il cheap cold frame all that
Is needed are a few boards. and, in
the absence of sash. Il frame covered
with Uell-OileQ cotton cloth. This pro-
tects from rain and from moderate

light material that makes good cover.

START OF A FLORIDA FEUD.

Mans Farm Built on Coral FIoated
Away and II ~NciEhbor Took 1t.
"Speaking about feuds,' said John H.
HUMPHREYS of Tampa, Fla, II think
that the strangest, in its inception, is
one between two families in Marion
County, in our State. 1t came about
this way. Iou know in our State some
times land disappears during the night
and a man wakes up to find his garden
a great sinkholc. This is, Of course.
due to the fact that Florida is built on
coral and not very substantially built
at that, especially in some of h inte-
rior counties. Harry Redding had n
nice patch of Irish potatoes. and Oliver
Vance. his neighbor, had what he called
n farm and near the house was Il
sinkhole.
zone night Rcdding's potato patch
disappeared and the next morning he
had Il nice large sinkhole filed with
water where his garden was. The same
night Vance, who had Il sinkhole When
he went to bed. woke up to find that
the hole was filed with dirt, in which
there seemed to be n lot of pebbles
about the size of a mans fist. Natural
ly he was surprised. He examined the
pebbles to find them potatoes, and after
calling the family up they got to work
and gathered in six bushels of potatoes
ready for market.
'That's where the trouble began.
Redding claimed that under the law
where Il mans stock wanders on to the
.-.&l-rt liz, c,,,It
he can go after it. Re argued that the
same doctrine applied to potatoes which
had wandering habits. For he was
very sure that the potatoes on the
Vance farm belonged to him. Vance
and his friends invoked another prin-
ciple of law that Il mar owns his land
from heaven to hudes Il he refused
to dig up the potatoes for the benefit
Of his nCighbOr.
4 that happened ten years ago.
continued Mr.. Humphries, land the
Rcddings and the VanceS are still arm
I'd against each other. Two or three
skirmishes have taken place between
the parties. and one of the Vance boys,
IS years old, was wounded by fire from
the enemy.
They have never spoken to each
other since that cventful night ten
wears ago. Lawyers and politicians
have gone out to help them settle thel1
difficulties. but they were obdurate,
and if the fcud grows for twenty years
as it has already Florida and Marion
County will have a feud equal to the
best that Kentucky has ever produced
Denver Republican.

Secretary Wilson is again after the
secdslnrn who are guilty of practicing
adulteration Of seeds. Recently he had
caused to be examined, under the law,
2Il samples OF seed of Kentucky blue
grass and 10 samples Of orchard grass
obtained in open market. OF these,
i"rty-onr samples of seed Of Kentucky
bluegrass We're found to be uuultprutcu
with seed of the inferior Canada blue
grass. While 1873 samples OF orchard
grass seed We're found to be adultrrat-
ed, the seeds most commonly used for
the purpose being English rye-gruSs and
meadow feSrur, II value of neither
being more than onr-third to Une-hHlf
that OF orchard grass seed. That the
adulteratiOn of orchard grass is very
general is evidenced by the fact that
samples containing authorizations were
obtained from twenty -four States.
While Canada bluegrass is import
ed into tn" United States in quantities
varying from 100000 to 100000 pounds
per unnum, it is used only occasionally
il this country, and it is evident that
the bulk Of the seed imported is mixed
and sold rs Kentucky bluegrass.
In accordance with the provisions of
the act OF Congress authorizing the
Secretary Of Agriculture to publish the
results Of tests of seeds. Secretary Will
son has issued Il pamphlet giving the
llnnleS Of the SeedSluru who sold the
lots found to be adultrratGd, together

Well Drained Soil for Fruit Trees.
Even the plum, which will stand
more wei than any other class with
the possible exception of the ounce, re-
uuires that the soil lie we'll drained q;
there is Il difference between a moist
soil and a wet soil, and a soil may
he we'll drained yet be moist. 1t Is
next to impossible to expect adequate
results for time and labor expended in
raising fruit in orchards unless the soil
is placed in proper condition. NO
fruit tree will thrive on soil that IS
wet. whether the wet be on the sur
face or beneath it. Any soil with depth
enough to supply fertility to the tree
roots will grow fruit trees. for even
If if is not rich enough it can be made
so provided it is not so sandy that the
fertilizer goes beyond the reach of the
roots or so wet that the roots rot IN
stead of grow. The wet soil can be
subdued by draining and the sandy soil
mt in proper condition by stable ma
nure or by growing any crop which
will supply humus and blowing such
croD under.
