fodder-it would seem as if the peanut
or goober, felt at home in Florida.
In 1904 one whole acre of broom
corn was raised in Lake county. 1t
dropped out Of the record in 1905.
This one acre yielded one ton, valued
at $50. There is only one county in
Florida that does not raise field corn,
and only three that fail to raise sugar
cane. Where these will grow, broom
corn will, and broom factories could
be established and another manufac-

Brevard county has the distinction
of being the on y onion producing
county in Florida, presumably of the
Bermuda variety. Bit if five acres
can produce 500 crates bringing a
trihe over dollar per crate, why can
not onions be raised by the hundreds
Of acres in Breyard, Dade and Lee
counties? It would seem as though
more than one hundred crates should
be taken from one acre Of ground
properly cultivated and irrigated, and
probably would be if intensive cult
walton was practiced by the grower.
The onion is very healthy, though
odoriferous food. 1t should be grown
more extensively in Florida.

Alfalfa in Florida.

Polk county has the honor of stand
ing first of the four counties expert
menting with alfalfa, raising four-hfths
Of what was harvested in 1905 1t is
true, it had only 20 acres, but each
acre laughed back five tons Of no
doubt, excellent hay, valued at S2O per
ton, and in view OF the deficiency in
the grass line of the state, the fact
that alfalfa can be successfully cultivat
ed is one Of value to every farmer,
for dit means green fodder and dry
fodder for cattle and horses, with en-
enlargement for dairying and lower
cost for horse feed. | remember pre-
pairing the first little booklet on alfalfa
for Colorado farmers, many years ago,
while editing the Colorado Farmer in
Denver. Ten thousand copies we're
printed and circulated, by a seed house
whose propr1etors gave me twenty-five
silver "plunks" for writing the booklet.
Now, especially in the northern coun-
ties Of eastern and western Colorado,
there are more than one hundred thou
sand acres in this succulent grass,
yielding three to five crops per annum,
and sheep and cattle from Arizona and
New Mexico and even Texas, are
driven up every fall to be winter fed
on it in the Platte, St. Vrain,
Boulder Grand, Uncompahgre and
other valleys Of the state. The little
booklet was seed we'll sown It did
not fall. by the wayside. So may the
seed sown by Polk county, in 1905,
fall on good ground in other counties
in Florida

These sought broader fields and
grander opportunities than the stony
hillsides and narrow environments.
That they found them, the history of
the Great West abundantly testlhes
But that excellent magazine "The
New England as it's April issue
that the term applies no more and
that scores and hundreds Of farms
are now-especially in the grand old
commonwealth OF Massachusetts,
being occupied and cultivated, partly
by the return OF the wanderers"
partly by the desire Of city people
to have Swedes and other foreigners
who, beginning, as laborers, end as
propr1etors.
At one time Massachusetts through
its Board Of Agriculture yearly is
sued pamphlet decribing the aban-
doned farms that were to be had on
lease or purchase. It does so no
longer-a sign that conditions have
changed, that rural thrift has taken
the place Of suburban neglect and
prosperity hovers over hillside and
valley when for many, many years the
evidence Of neglected or abandoned
interests we're pitiably apparent
It is we'll that it should be So That
many agencies are at work from
without and a new hope and new
ideas developing within are surely
and in some cases RAPIDLY, improving
the industrial conditions of the hill
side towns and the valleys of New
England
AS to the magazine that is such an
able exponent of New England's lit
erary culture and in such marked
contrast with SO many Of the maya
zines of the day, it may be said that
it's tone is refreshing as the air Of
April and [ read it's pages with pleas
ure as we'll as with profit But, while
devoted to New England interests,
it's editor is not unmindful Of the fact
that there are other sections worthy
Of being presented to its readers, as
shown by a splendid paper on "New
Orleans in Transition showing by
text and illustrations that there are
changes going on in the far south as
we'll as in the far east, for the better
ment of the municipalities. The
writer, Frank Putnam yields facile
pen and describes in glowing Ian
guage his impressions of present as
poets and his forecast Of the great
destiny OF the Crescent City.

Men pass away, but their deeds live
after them, for the woe or veal OF
human kind; and it may be said that
few IN American history have gone
hence leaving a more endeared rec
ord than Galusha A. Grow, whose
death at the ripe old age of 81 years,
has recently been recorded. AS the
author OF the Homestead law, his name
will be indelibly linked with the nation
al growth Of the country, and the es-
tabllshment Of million Or more homes
that might not otherwise have dotted
the prairies of the central West the
valleys Of the Rocky Mountains, or the
forest country on the Pacific Slope.
Ii any statesman deserves monu-
ment either in his native state, or at
the nations capitol, it is Galusha A.
Grow All honor to his memory!

In this our land Of plenty, it is hard
for us to fully realize the conditions Of
suffering and death from starvation in
China and some parts OF Russia. The
extent OF the struggle for existence
is shown in what are called there
articles OF food.'' These comprise
elm leaves, elm leaves mixed with corn,
elm pitch, ground for bread, buckwheat
straw, chopped straw, potato leaves
and stalks, roots, carrot leaves, etc.
Even these are not at free command,
but are sold at prices varying from
20 to 80 cents per pound. The Chris
tlan Herald, OF New York, which is
doing noble work in collecting famine
funds, shows that even canibalism is
resorted to, parents eating their chill

A recent issue Of the New York
Packer has an interesting account Of
"A unique orange grove written by
correspondent residing at Wildwood;
which, if accurate, and one has no
reason to question it, is indeed with
out its parallel in Florida or elsewhere
The grove is said to be $50 acres in
extent, and is, therefore, the largest
in the state This is what the CORES
pondent says of it: ''Here is a grove
that has never had pillow or cultivator
OF any kind inside Of it's broad gates,
has never had one pound Of fertilizer
and yet is said to produce the largest
percentage OF fancy fruit and at least
95 per cent Of Brights. Not a forest
tree Of mature size was ever cut here,
neither was there ever a fire on the
ground and the orange and grapefruit
trees stand among Monarch live oaks,
magnolia and other original forest
trees, nothing but the underground OF
brush and vines having been cleared
away. Nothing is burned here as is
the case in most of Florida farming.
The grass is cut often and allowed to
rot on the ground and the leaves from
the trees furnish the necessary natural
fertilizer to produce the perfect fruit
grown here. This land is very rich,
as can easily be seen by the mammoth
oaks and other trees. Many of these
orange trees were never planted but
were budded on original wild orange
and lemon trees that have no doubt
grown in this wilderness for ages"

lincoln in Face of Danger.
pleton's Magazine,

rom Applelou MdSuZll''
 The bodvguard of Lincoln during the last of the Civil war is writing a re marllable series of articles for Apple ton's Magazine. To be a hero 10 ones bodyguard is to be hero, indeed. That is what Lincoln was, according 10 Cap tain Barnes. He says.
 Plots and eonsplraeies were then known or believed to exist against the person of the President. The steamboat Greyhound. almost q sister vessel to the River Queen. employed by General But Ter as his headquarters boat. had lately been destroyed by the explosion of an internal machine while passing from Fortress Monroe to City Point, and Gen erai Butler and Admiral Potter, passen- gers, very narrowly escaped with their lives from the burning ship. The ma- chine in this case-and there were seV- eral similar exposions on army transports consisted of what appeared to be an innocent lump of coal, but was in real ity a block of cast iron with a core con taining ten or fifteen pounds of powder of high explosive. Covered with a mix ture of tar and coal dust, it was difficult 10 detect it's character The Confeder- ates had an organized body of men who were charged with the placing of these machines in coal piles, or coal barges, from which our vessels took their sup plies
 .While probably not obvious to the danger of his position, President Lin coin was much less disturbed by 1t than many others. During the journey and upon several occasions after it's accom- plishment this was matter of conVer- sation between officers at headquarters, and among naval men. tremendous and most destructive explosion of me- chanical bomb had just occurred at City Point, upon the dock wreclsing some of the shipping and running vast quantities of army stores The President expressed great contempt for cowardly assaults of such nature, and lived and moved about in utter disregard of them. Unlike the case of high officers of all governments today. there were no private detectives guarding his person. Precautions were to be taken in Mir. Lincolns journeyings and were provided by the escort of the Bat. and by his military surroundings at General Grants headquarters at City Point. Whatever uneasiness existed in the minds of the navy department of ficials. however, found no reflection in MT Lincoln's mind, and can assert most positively that during the period of my service in the character of guardian he never exhibited the slightest concern for his personal safety. He lived and moved about as freely and unconcernedly as the least conspicuous citizen, and as l re- ported to him for orders, with the usual salute and compliments of the morning and evening" he would lay out his plans for daily excursions to scenes or places of interest with Mrs. Lincoln, his sons and some invited guests or acquaintances, and waive with great gentleness but firmness all suggestions of escort which had even the appearance of personal pro- tection'

 A number of the most famous works of this artist have been got together by M. de Selves. prefect of the Palais, and an ardent admirer of Fauguleres.
