The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-02-27

By these, and similar operations,
his land is so changed as to become
able to nourish and ripen those par
ticular plants he wishes to raise. On
this practical department Of the art
of culture, the principles explained in
our previous articles throw much
light They not only explain the rea-
son why certain practices always sue
ceed in the hands Of the intelligent
farmer, but why others occasionally
fail; they tell him also which prac-
tices of his neighbors he ought to
adopt, and which of them he had bet
ter modify, or wholly reject, and they
direct him to such new modes Of i'm
proving his land as are most likely
to add the most to it's permanent
value

farmer as you are of the tourist
The man with the automobile is not
thinking about hauling his produce
to the depot, but simply of pleasure
and amusement, and it seems to
amuse some of them to see the far
mers' horses get scared. Now don't
infer from this that I am objecting
to good roads, or to tourists. Flor
ida needs them-both roads and tou-
rists.
I can't quite see why there should
be such mania to put the convlcts
to making roads. Who wants stock
ade near his dwelling, his school or
his church, and what county can take
care of the convicts without great
expense? There can be no perma-
nent stockade when building roads,

Their Physical Mature and Chemical Composition
and Possibilities.
No.. 4.
By A. T. Cuzner, NJ. D.

AS before remarked, the operations
of the farmer are either mechanical
or chemical. When he drains, plows
and subsoils he alters chiefly the ply
sical character of his soil When he
adds lime, ash or manure to it he
alters its chemical constitution.
These two classes of operations are
perfectly distinct.
When a soil contains all the con-
stituents that the crops we desire to
grow require, mere mechanical opera
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-02-27

In our preceding articles we con-
sidered the physical properties Of
soils and touched lightly on their
organic constituents.
In order to bring his land into a
proper physical condition the farmer,
in some cases, will find it necessary
to add clay-or muck as a substitute
sand, lime, ash, and manure proper,
as his soil may indicate through chem
ical knowledge or practical expert
ence, or both.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-02-27

But where one or more of the inor
ganic constituents of plants are want
ing, draining may prepare the land to
benefit by the abundant supply in the
deep subsoil, but it will not remove
its natural sterility in other direc-
tions. However, its improved me-
chanical condition better fits it for
the reception Of organic fertility.
We will therefore consider in sue
cession these two classes of prac-
tical operations.
First, mechanical methods of i'm
proving the soil, including draining,
blowing, mixing with clay, sand, etc.
Second, chemical methods, includ-
ing lining, and the application Of
mineral, animal and vegetable ma

TIE RE- UNION.

Prescott expects to eclipse all former efforts in behalf of the Confederate Ru-union to be held at this city on August 1st and 2nd. Every proposi- tiOn made by the veterans to the people of our town has been promptly met. The citizens, individually, responded liberally with cash donations for the success of the event The fraternal orders met this donation with an addi- tional $100 gift. The farmers are going to come up with neat responses for the barbecue, and the city council has generously donated the free use of the park on the days mentioned in the matter of concessions. Besides they propose to have fitted up the auditorium to be conveniently used on that day.
 It is intimated that 40OO people will be with us on the 2nd That they will be cared for, is foregone conclusion. Besides the donations of meat, the committee have ample funds with which to supplement sufficiently, and every one living close enough is asked to bring basket.
 Prescott, with the assistance of the entire county, proposes to do the hand some thing in regard to the Confederate reunion. Everybody invited.

AMERICAN SLANG IN ROME.
Youngsters Expression Touched tho
 Hearts of Wanderers.

The universal spread of American slang is amazing and the globe trot. ter meets with it in the most unex- pected places Last October two Americans wandering about the Plaza dEspagna in Rome were accosted by
 one of the numerous small boys who sell postal card pictures of the Holy city. He held out sheaf of postal cards and offered them for sale. stat ing the price in Italian. The Amer jeans did not care to bay, and, like his guild the continent over. he fol- lowed them and became a bit of nuisance. But he was such a merry eyed little chap they had not the heart to speak harshly to him. At last. how ever. they felt obliged to say no" decidedly. It was then that he sur. prised them and gave them a queer little pull at their American heart strings, by saying, his black eyes snapping with fun and the magnitude of the achievement: "Skeedoo. Skee- doc! Twanta-thr-r-r-ree!" Then he vanished with burst of laughter. But the sequel was equally interest ing. Late that same afternoon the same couple came from the Cata- combs into the white glare of the Appian way, five miles from the Piazza dEspagna. They had hardly stepped into the street before the same urchin was at them again, and when he recognized them he was as amused as they. This time he did not offer them any Skeedoo! Twanty- And he got his generous soldi, as he knew quite well l~ would.

 Prescott and Temperance.
BY A. D. MEREDITH BEAUFORT.

BY A. D. MEREDITH BEAUFORT.
 There are four great moral agencies for good in the world the home, the churches, the schools and the press. There is another agency for good and that is the punitive agency of the law, but 1 cannot callit moral agency because the moral agency is above all the agency of per suasiOn and good example.
 Every virtue, every vice, every reform has it's incipiency in the home, and when the agency of the home is an absolute failure. the churches, the schools and the press are liable to hand their task to the punitive and repres- sive agency of the law.
 And when the law has to be appealed to in order to keep our boys good or to reform them.

The council last night granted delin- quent street tax payers until the 23d inst. in which to pay the tax. This wss a liberal concession in view of the fact that every person on the delinquent list Is now subject to fine. But don t think because they did it this time, you can hope for future consideration. They are in earnest now, and if you are taken before the mayor on the 24th of July and heavily fined for neglecting this important duty, you will have no one to blame but yourself.

LATE DELIVERY
 AT COST

sf well strike his breast and utter his mea culpa, not that mean to say that the father of every troublesome boy is guilty of bad example to his offspring, but assert that that same offspring has not received proper attention and care. How many fathers are there who ever have a heart to heart talk with their boys? Is it not sad fact that many farmer watches with intense interest the raising of his calves while his boy just grows up? How many merchants and professional men, absorbed in money-making, devote an hour or even half an hour day exclusively to their boys? The poor mothers, worn out with the killing routine of housekeeping are, according to many fathers, supposed to assume the whole responsibility of raising and training both the boys and girls. A boy needs a man to talk to him and to have his confidence. The boy who has his father for a chum in early childhood will be his fathers intimate and confidential friend in young manhood and after life If the father does not neglect the boy during the all important transition period from babyhood to manhood. And a boy of that kind will be steeled against tempatiOn and danger, and the law and the authorities will not be called upon to keep such boy good.
 The question of temperance is well kept before the public in Prescott. Some of our worst agencies for evil in the town itself have disappeared. The town itself compares favorably, as a clean and progressive town, with any of it's size in the state thanks to progressive and well mean ing administration. We have, at last, a total sustaining marshal, a consummation devoutly to be wished" for solong. Regardless oftheinsinuationS of a few chronic tault-tinders, not a drop of whis- key has been bought from any of our drug stores for many months. If there is any bootlegging, it is very, very little and is carried on among the negroes.
 But let us not congratulate ourselves, for drinking is on an alarming increase. Last Satur- day, twenty two cases and kegs of beer, not counting the jugs and boxes of whiskey, reached this town to be drunk on Sunday. The woods were full of youngan old bOozers as they have been for good many Sundays past.
 1t seems that the numerous parties who club together for the l purpose of buying intoxicants do not know that the one in whose name the goods arrive, can be in dicted for receiving the money. The law will deal with him just the same as if he sold whiskey or beer over the counter.
 l would advise the w. C. T. U. to have an agent to meet the trains and take all the names on packages of beer and whiskey and publish the same in their articles in the Daily News so that the finger of scorn could be  pointed at those who have no re
