CLOSED SEASON .
HOUSES UNDER THE HILL ARE
QUARANTlNED FOR SMALLPOX.
-MANY ARE UNEASY. r. =

The three houses under the hill are
quarantined for smallpox and are
guarded night and day by minions of
the board of health. 49,. .#
In certain circles there is a lot of
uneasiness in the scity over this con-
tretemps and the hacks are taking a
much-needed rest.
1t appears that male familiar of
one of the houses was sent to the
pest house with the disease about a
week ago, and as near as could be
learned "a woman inmate of one of
the houses made frequent calls on the
man, returning thereafter to her
abode, with the result that yesterday
she was found to have the disease and
was removed to keep her friend per-
manent company on the hill until re-
covered. ..
AS the woman was said to have Wis
tied all the houses they were quaran-
tined by the health officer and police
man placed on guard night and day.
The people of the houses other than
the one in which the woman taken
sick resided demurred loudly at this
proceeding and claimed the county
would have to pay the expenses Of
their enforced isolation, but the au-
thorities gave them the option of en-
during quarantine or going to the pest
house, and they very naturally chose
the lesser of the evils.

Copy of the twelfth annual report
of the forestry commissioner of Min
nesota has been received The Min
nesota law creating the Office of For
estry Commissioner expressly makes
it one of his duties to disseminate
information concerning forestry"
and one wav of doing this is to in
clude forestry Information in the an
nual report ~fich he is required by
law to make and of which 1000 cop
les are printed and circulated free.
The present report contains 147
pages with numerous illustrations.
In the new matter in this report is
sketch of forestry in Russia. There
is school of forestry in St. Peters
burg attended by $50 students. The
sta!s forests comprise the enormous
area of T34, 100000 acres. There are
sketches of forestry in 16 other Euro
pean countries. The report also con-
tains a manual of tree planting for
the white, red (Norway) and jack
pine. The secret of forestry, says
the commissioner, is that it utilities
waste, hilly, rocky or sandy land that
is unfit for agriculture. On such
Land it requires 81 years ON an aver
age for pine to reach its fiscal age
that is, when it ceases to earn good
interest by it's growth. According
t. the yield tables of Germany we
would expect from such land in sc
years at least $4,000 feet of mer.

The Car Window Experts.

Mr.. Rowell, the advertising man,
has won great deal of attention by
his article disparaging Florida. Most
of our state exchanges have had some
thing to say about it. But the best
of all was the comment by the editor
Of the Suwanee County Democrat,
which is as follows:
The man who comes to Florida sizes
it up from the car window while his
train is passing through, sees the pines,
the swamps, the white sand, an oc-
casional patch of cultivated ground,
and unsightly cabins and shacks here
and there as the specimens of the
rural whatever of the state and it's
people, its resources and its develop
ments. Correct general impressions
Of longsettled and highly developed
regions may be had that way, but in
a new commonwealth like Florida, of
vast area, heavily timbered and very
sparsely settled, only sha1low-mind-
ed and unthinking man will form even
a preliminary estimate under such cir
cumstances. If the tourist or intend
ing immigrant could see the rural de-
velopments of Pennsylvania or New

York from Florida car windows, it
would be falrer to look upon than
anything we can show here now, but
it would mean that Florida held out
no inducements to new settlers, that
she was built up, her opportunities all
taken, her population dense, and that
this was no land for the man of mod
crate means to come to to find abun-
dant raw resources of many kinds
which his energy and intelligence might
convert into wealth. The state is be-
ing necessarily disparaged by these
car-windOw experts who come here
and go back without one intelligent
idea of Florida and her prOdigiOus
fertility and beWildering variety of re-
sources. But if they had sense enough
to realize that they were in new
land whose chief development was yet
to come, and the ''white sand they
derlde is proving every year, under
intelligent cultivation, that it is the
finest fruit and trucking soil on earth
and largely supplies the North with
early fruits and vegetables; that Flor
ida is the richest state in the Union
in the versatility of her native re-
sources, and the very fact that she is
largely as yet a tangled wilderness,
unslghtly to look upon, is the strong
est factor in the inducements she holds
out to thrifty and industrious immi-
grants-if they had sense enough to
realize these things, we should not

is the theme for tourists opinions in

One George Rowell has recently
been writing about us up there, and
after looking us over from the car
windows his profound conclusion was
that he could see ''no source of wealth
worth mentioning other than lumber
and tourists" He couldn't see the
numberless orange groves, the great
areas in fruits and melons, and veg
etables rapidly expanding every year.

Some Failures.

Some Failures.
The California Cultivator calls at
tention to the fact that a difference
in soil makes a great difference in the
success of a grove 1t then goes on
to show why it is, in some cases.
The same great difference has been
found in groves in Florida We do
not say that the same cause exists,
but there is no doubt that great
variation in the quality of soils does
this reason it is important that new
conner use great caution IN locality.
The Cultivator says:
In every section of the state are to
be found orchards that during the early
promise of being the beginning Of
profitable plantations. After they had
reached the age of four or five years,
just when they should be bringing in
a good income, they dropped back
each year No reason was discernable
why the change should be, but in most
cases the fault was to be found in the
subsoil Heavy clay subsoils are not,
as rule, detrimental to the growth
d
much more preferable than gravelly
A sandy surface with a clay subsoil
is an ideal one for most deciduous fruit
trees. But the reverse condition is
not. Trees planted with the latter
condition of soils will end in failure,
for it is impossible for the mature
tree to keep up a healthy growth with
the roots in a stratum that will not
hold the requisite amount of water
On the other hand, the surface soil
may be ideal, but at a depth of two
or three feet hardpan will exist that
will turn the roots, hold the water du-
ring wet seasons and, taking all things
into consideration, it is impossible for
the trees to make a growth that will
give a crop, and in many cases the
trees will die outright. At one time
we had this experience with peach
trees. Late rains came and before the
water had drained from the soil, warm
sunny weather came, the trees bloom
ed profusely and every indication was
for big crop of peaches.
These trees were six and eight inches
in diameter at the base About the
time the leaf buds opened, decidedly
sweetish OdOr, and Of sickening ma
ture was perceptible among the trees
Within a week large block of trees
was black and dead Investigation
showed that depth of two feet,
heavy hardpan existed and water would
drain into holes at that depth when
the trees should be in leaf. The soil
had often remained equally as wet
many times, but not so late in the
season. The drains might have saved
the trees, but there is nothing sure
about it, as the rainy season extended
into the blooming period. Trees near
an open drain died in the same way.
These facts show the folly of plant
ing fruit trees on soil with a hardpan
subsoil. Land with clay subsoil should
be drained Even if it is not there
is a constant movement of water
through it that is not possible through
soil underlaid with hardpan. The use
of such soil should be entirely con-
fined to growing shallow rooted crops
or annual crops, such as grain and hay.
Ii the surface soil is good it may grow
berries at a profit
