brated with red IRE In Cambridge,
and a dinner in Toxic. The quiet
Massachusetts, clergyman of the sew

Thirty-eight of the forty-thrse de-
PENDANTS named by the government
in its charges OF conspiracy and trade
restraint on the part OF the powder
trust have filed answers in the fed
eral court at Wilmington, all deny
ing the charges. The chief conten-
ton is that the business is not I'M
lawful because large, and that the
company had a right to purchase
either companies or properties when
considered good investments. The
answers show how the smaller con-
Germs we're absorbed by the volun-
tary consent of both parties.

ERECT THE BUILDINGS
Don't BaIk, Officials Read the Fol-
lowing and Then Get Busy
MaysyilIe Mustn't Lag

There is no good reason why there should
be hitch and further delay in proceeding
with the building Of the High and District
school buildings as originally contemplated
when the 100000 bond issue was voted by the
people,
The Board Of Education in its laudable de-
sire to give Maysville something better in the
way Of school buildings far and beyond that
Of any city twice its size in population and
wealth in the state. has simply scared too high
in the financial sky and it will Of its own
weight and infeasibility be forced to return to
terra hrms and begin the job over again in a
more practicable and common sense manner.
When the subject was first brOached, $45,-
600 was thought sufficient sum to meet all
the demands for an up-to-date 20th-century
school building-and nine out of ten Of those
who have viewed and inspected the 81, 400 Fifth
Ward school building, think so too. In order to
have funds ample and to spare, $4,000 was
asked and granted.
Still not content, the bill Of particulars was
increased from 100000 to the munifcent sum
Of $4,000. At this stage the Board of Edu-
cation met with Council and requested that
bodytO approve its action in the matter and pro-
vide the difference between 100000 and $685.
900.
Here is where the soaring balloon collapsed
and fell to earth with dull thud!
Even though disposed, Council did not pos
sess the power to grant the request and the
Mayor SO politely informed the Board and here
the matter rests.
As to going before the people this fall and
asking for an additional bond issue Of $4,000
or $4,000 is an uncertain proposition, when
the fact is taken into consideration that the
$4,000 bond issue won out by the skin of its
teeth.
There is no necessity Of taking chances in being
turned down by the people at the polls in ask
ing for more money. If the Board of Educa-
tion could only see it there is a sufficient sum
within their reach to construct the buildings
/ without materially changing the outlines or
departing very much from the present plans.
Their cash account fOots up something like
this
Surplus on hand ........,....,$ 10000
Bond issue e.................. 10000
Old school buildings, say. 49,. 1000
Sale Of old houses .....,.... 700
Total, l..,......,.......'... .SfI1OO
The ground for new buildings cost $2O,5OO,
and that amount taken from $77,7OO leaves a
balance Of $4,000.
Suppose you invest $4,000 in a District
School Buildng-and that ought to satisfy the
most fastidiOus-yOu have left for the High
School Building $4,000; handsome sum in
deed, something like $1,000 less than Con-
tractor |. NJ. Lanes bid.
By tapping off few supsrfuous Ornsmen-
tatiOns you can come under the wire an easy
winner by full length.
Then again, even though you do Over.reach
your pile by several thousand dollars, nobody is
going to kick at that.
Get busy and build the schoOlhOuses,

This Weeks Paper.

We wish to call your special attention
to the number of original articles which
are found in our paper this week. They
are all excellent. Don't you think the
paper is much more interesting, when
we have articles from our own real
ers, than it is when we are compelled
to depend upon clippings If so, will
you not try and help us out? We
should be very glad to give as much
each week, or even more, if you will
furnish the matter Do not wait for
your neighbor to write, sit down TODAY
and tell us of your experience with
crops, whatever you grow. Or if you
are IN the stock business, tell us what
breeds you find most profitable, how
you treat them and all the particulars.
We know from observation, that pine
straw is a great improver of .andv
roads, but it will not stand hard traffic
very long as it is soon ground I'D.
AS We understand the account of the
new road making material, it was not,
at flrst, ground up for the purpose of
making roads, but to be put into p
retort for the making of turpentine,
and the residue, composed of the
chips and rosin, proved to be such
good road material that the writer
proposed that county authorities put
up stills mainly for the sake OF the
material, but that incidentally the tur-
pentine made would go a long ways
towards paying expenses.

Don't Kill the Meadow Lark.

We heartily approve of the law of
this state which protects most of the
wild birds from being killed by thought
less hunters and vagrant boys. But
there are two exceptions which never
should have been made and which
ought to be corrected as soon as pos
sible. The shrike or butcher bird is
one which is not protected, and yet it
is one Of the most useful birds which
can be found in the state. 1t lives
wholly upon insects and it's nature is
such that it kills a great many more
than it can eat, and stores them away
on thorns. Moreover it has a great
antipathy to snakes, the only ground
rattle snake which we have ever found
on our place was shown to us by a
butcher bird, which was fying I'D and
down and calling in such a way that
we went to see what was the matter,
and found small ground rattle snake.
The other exception is the meadow
lark, this is also an insect eating bird

Tracing Fruit Shipments.

The Fruit Trade Journal prints
dispatch from Spokane, Washington,
which states that the publicity COM
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
Of that city at its regular weekly meet
ing discussed a proposition requesting
fruit growers to inc1ose in each box
Of fruit shipped a blank to be filled
out by the purchaser and returned to
the secretary of the Committee. The
blank to give information, showing
where and when the fruit was pur-
chased, the price paid and the condi-
ton OF the fruit It was also to en-
body request that the purchaser
should ask the Committee for any de-
sired information about the fruit in
dustry of that section. It strikes
us that the idea is very good
one and that Our fruit and vege-
table shippers might do we'll to adopt
some such plan, Individually, not wait
Tor any body of men to help them. The
printing OF such blanks with some self
addressed envelops would not cost
very much and might bring you some
valuable information.

out injustice. The period Of ripening
depends upon the season, and varies
exceedingly. In the fall of 1888 we
ate oranges the first week of Novem-

are at Christmas. Some rule for de-

have to be devised, before any rule

Editor Florida Agriculturist:

information that you can about sweet
cassava and Japanese sugar cane.
Where to get cuttings or slips of the
same. Also probable cost? By so do
ing you will very much oblige me.

is the sweet cassava, Manihot Aipi.
the tap1oca of commerce is made from
the bitter cassava, Manihot utilissima.
which has not been cultivated in Flori
do SO far as we know We do not
know, at this time, where canes can be
bought, next spring they will no doubt
be offered in the advertising columns
Of this paper.
japanese sugar cane has been greatly
praised as a forage plant, we know
that it makes excellent syrup, and has
the great advantage that it is sufficient
ly hardy to live year after year with
out replanting. AS to seed cane of
this variety, we can only say as we did
about cassava that we do not know
where seed can be had, but at the
proper time have no doubt that some
of our subscribers will offer it for
sale. Ed)

Oranges on a Poor Farm.

We do not mean farm OF poor soil,
but one devoted to the support Of pau
pers. We do not know as there are
any such farms in this state, but thew
are a common institution in tile north
ern states and we have just found an
item, in the Fruit Trade Journal tell
ing about the orange grove of the
Poor Farm of Los Angeles county.
California. 1t is reported that the
crop OF oranges on the farm brought
returns amounting to nearly $4,000.
The County Supervisors, they are the
same as our County Commissioners.
are SO we'll pleased that they propose
to double the size of the grove, it is
now forty acres. Nothing is said
about it, but it is probable that the
labor bill on this farm IS nothing, as
the paupers can usually do all the nee
essary work
Would not something oi this kind be
good investment for some of our
Florida counties? Of course, in re-
commencing the idea of a profitable
Poor Farm, we did not expect that
every county would set out an orange
grove, but rather that in each county
it should be devoted to the crop which
has been the most profitable. For in
stance in St. Johns county it might be
located in a section where Irish pota-
toes can be grown successfully, III
Orange county it might be celery, etc.

One Acre of Alfalfa Worth Nine
Acres of Timothy.

That statement will not impress
southern or Florida farmer as it would
one from the northern states who was
accustomed to growing timothy for
hay. We have persistently and con-
sistently advocated the testing of al
falfa in this state. We have no doubt
that it will prove to be as valuable in
Florida as at the west, when our peo-
pie learn the secret of it's successful
cultivation. We know that it has been
prohtably grown in this state and
what man has done man can do"
1t is not yet too late to try it this fall.
Make the soil as rich as possible, US
ing all the stable manure that you can
obtain. Try some alfalfa, if you have
any live stock which needs green feed.
1t is especially recommended for poul-
try and swine. You will find an aru
under the same heading, elsewhere this
week. Study the figures and see if
there is not good reason for recon-
mending alfalfa.
