on Capricorn, while at the equinOXes
in March and September, the equator
will equally divide both tide waves

equator And so on. All this is
neither guess work nor foolishness,
it is hard fact, based on mathema tical
ton. One might as we'll de-
ny the existence of the sun and moon,
and have done with it, as to try to
escape the conclusion that they are

The White Fly.
Editor Florida AgricMltu9ist:

Editor Florida AgricMlturist:
have read with much interest, the
many articles on the ''White Fly" and
although have never tried the use of
copperas to destroy them, yet, I agree
with the principal advanced, of 'feed-
ing' the trees infested with any in
sect pest, instead of spraying the trees,
as [ am convinced that if the trees
are in good healthy growing condition,
there are but very few insects that
will trouble them, at least this is my
experience.
Previous to 1895, / owned two
groves in Putnam county My trees
were always healthy and vigorous
had good crops, but never sprayed,
while my neighbors were everlastingly
spraying, yet their trees were covered
with scale and insects of various
kinds, and during the three years just
before the 'big freeze" the white fly
made it's appearance in large numbers,
and every one was greatly excited
over the new conner, and everything
to be thought of in the way Of spray
was used, but to no purpose, and
many went so far as to cut down
fine shrubery in their yards, which
seemed to harbor the flies. At the
same time the oak woods were as full
of the fly as the orange trees, and
any attempt to get rid of them in
the orange groves only drove them to
the oak trees, and as soon as the
spraying was over they would return
to the groves, which goes to show that
the spraying was not of any perma-
nent coed; at the same time if ''the
tonic'' had been administered through
the roots to the sap, and thence
through the system, it would natural
ly work out through the pores, as it
were, and cause a disagreeable and
perhaps a poisonous odor or taste
which would have a deadly effect upon
the insects.
In your article on the White Fly,
in your issue Of Sept. 9th, you speak
of scientific discoveries While am not
a scientist, yet / am a student Of
nature, and have given my views
from natures standpoint, and I think
if orange growers generally, would
study nature little more, and leave
the rest to- scientists, they would
learn more how to raise good oranges
in much more economical way.

the ball, and you will have an exact
imitation of the action of the moon
(and SUM in raising the tide.
The difficulty that many good people
have in getting clear ideas of this
matter arises in great degree from
not understanding the action on che
earth as whole, and trying to
imagine it as affecting merely the
water. The main force is applied
round the whole circumference Of the
hemisphere, visible at the moment
from the moon or sun. This force
never relaXes for moment, day and
night, year in and out it is squeezing
the earth into this elongated form, the
amount of lengthening due to the
moon being about 5S inches, while
that, due to the sun, is near % inches
(The mass Of the moon is indeed al
most nothing when compared with
that of the sun, but it's position so
near to us, is what gives it this ad-
vantage. With the sun in the moons
place, the tides would perhaps, lay
the oceans bottom bare every day.
If all the motions of the earth and
moon should cease, these ''ellipsoids
of equilibrium" as they are called,
would be quietly formed and all
would be thencefOrth tranquil" Some
coasts would have a high tide, some
low one, others a half high, etc.,
but all would remain right there for
ever AS it is, the figure of equilibrium
is hardly formed before the earth
rolling on, has disarranged everything,
and the work must all be done over
again. And thus the tides chase each
other over the ocean. At new and
full moon, the moon and sun pulling
along the same line. pile their tides
up together So plus % equals 81 inch
es, and We have a high or spring tide
all over the earth, but with the moon
at first or third quarter they pull at
right angles to each other and there
is a low or neap tide, each raising it's
own tide as if the other had NO ex-
istence SO minus % equals 80
inches, and as the moon goes on to-
ward full or new, the waves (very
broad at all times), mingle more and
more until they coincide and we have
another spring tide. We see further
that the vertex Of every tide wave
on both sides of the earth tends to
get in line with the body producing it;
thus at the spring tide nearest the
time of the winter solstice, Dec. q,
with the sun far south of the equator,
the vertex Con the side toward the
SUM- will form on the tropic of Cap
ricorn while at the same moment Con
the full moons side) it forms on the
trOpic of Cancer. At the summer
solstice June 21) this will be exactly
reversed. The sun will see the tide

countries is certainly the first step to

marching. and methods to be
described later, provide means of pro-
pagating good varieties, so that the
fruit of the new plant will be identi-
cal, or nearly so, with that of the
parent No greater variation need
be expected than that occurring on a
single tree.
In India and wherever the cultiva-
ton Of the mango is carried on to any
great extent, marching is by far the
most common method Of propagating.
An article in the Sugar Journal and
Tropical Cultivator describes the pro-
cess as follows:
The best method Of propagating
good varieties of mangoes is by means
of marching, which is very simple
process. 1t is performed usually be-
tween large tree of superior variety
growing in the ground and Seeding
growing in a pot-small, cheap flower
pots about 8 or 8 inches deep and 6
inches in diameter do we'll for the pur-
pose. The soil should be good potting
soil, with fair proportion of manure.
a single large mango stone should be
planted in each pot. The seedlings are
ready for marching, if well grown, in
ten months or so; if not well grown,
they should be older. Two-year-old
seedlings are very successfully in
arched. The stem of the Seeding
should in each be fairly thick, with
the wood fairly developed-near the
root the stem will be somewhat thicker
than an ordinary workingman's small

in pots can he marched in one tree by
erecting a stage for their support)
under the lower branches. The stem
Of the branch to be marched should
je about the same thickness as the
stem of the Seeding, and like the
seeding, should be fairly developed

arching is performed should be about
6 or 8 inches from the root of the
Seeding and about foot or SO from
the growing point of the branch, ~un-
less the branch is making new vigor-

will be more A straight, well-shaped
branch should be selected, so that the
future grated tree will be we'll pro-
portioned A slice Of wood and bark
should be cut from the seedlings and
from the branch, so that the inner
bark of both can be made to touch

are bound securely with tape or bast
fiber, and grating clay applied to
keep out air. The juncture of branch
and Seeding, should extend for a

The Mango-Methods of Propaga-
ton.
New York.

Seed-lThe mango grows readily
from seed, and this is the only method
of propagation practiced in Porto
Rico. For transporting the seed long
distances it is, of course, necessary to
remove the pulp, and the best results
have been obtained with cleaned
seeds, dried on the outside and pack
ed so as to conserve the moisture with
out molding Packed in this way,
several successful importations Of
seed have been made from the East
Indies to Florida.
The ease and rapidity with which
mangoes can be propagated by means
Of seed are decided advantages, but
the results are very uncertain, and
very few of the desirable varieties can
be maintained by this method. There
are a few good varieties in different
parts of the world the seedlings of
which appear to produce fruit identi-
cal with the parent.
Much could doubtless be done to
improve the mango in Porto Rico by
the growth of seedlings from selected
fruit, and really good varieties might
be originated. Cross fertilization of
the flowers might produce new va
rieties and increase the chances Of
producing good forms. On the other
hand, if the mango follows the
analogy Of other fruits, it might be
worth while to try the experiment Of
self-pollinating some Of the best varie-
ties. with the idea that the repro
ductive fertility would be thus impair
ed and the size Of the seed reduced.
A more expeditions method of reduc-
ing the size of the seed might be to
cross-fertilize with the pollen of some
variety or perhaps species so distant
ly related that partially or completely
sterile hybrids would be secured, |,

ing Loaded at Galveston.


Galveston, Texas, July 26.-The
| first of the present crop of wheat to
be loaded for export is being put
aboard the Booth line steamer Justin
at pier 30 today. The Justin will
take on eight loads, or $4,000
bushels, at the present location, but
she will later go down to the South
ern Pacific elevator and take on an
additional 10000 bushels, making
a total OF 100000 bushels. Fhe
shipment goes to Liverpool, the yes
sci being due to sail tomorrow.
The wheat movement through the
port is beginning to show up in good
shape, and by August / it is expected
that the shipments will be going out
at lively pace SO far the bookings
for August amount to more than l.,
900, 000 bushels At present the
roads are bringing in about 60 cars
each day, but the early August ar
rivals are expected to reach at least
l so cars day.
Another good shipment OF wheat
will be made on the Leyland line
steamer Albanian. which will also be
mum bered among the July clearances.
