WHERE WAS THE CAT:
Admitting the Meat, Owner Wanted to
Be Shown Feline.

A certain family living in one of the
suburbs OF New York owned kitten
OF which they were very fond. When
they went away for the summer It was
decided after various consultations to
leave the kitten with the butcher, on
condition that he should treat It with
the greatest kindness and give 1t about
pound OF meat a week, besides its
daily allotment Of cream. Some weeks
after the family had closed the house
for the summer the nominal head Of
the family visited the suburb to attend
to some business matters, and decided
that he might as well drop in at the
butchers to see how the kitten was
getting along.
He found the kitten curled up In a
corner asleep and apparently at peace
with the world. but, far from being
sleek or well fed In appearance, 1t was
SO thin that he felt constrained to call
the attention Of the butcher to the
fact.
DO you mean to say you have fed
that cat a pound Of meat during the
last week." he asked.
Il certainly have" responded the
butcher.
Put him on the scales and see how
much he weighs
The butcher did as requested. and
gently deposited the kitten In the bal.
ance. The pointer indicated exactly
one pound.

Children Who Contradict.

A natural habit of every child Is
to contradict, and this should be over.
come as soon as boy or girl develops
1t, for Of all disagreeable and over
bearing persons those who aggressive
ly contradict are among the worst.
Parents cannot be too particular In
teaching their sons and daughters to
disagree courteously. which Is not at
all incompatible with doing It posi-
lively. II beg your pardon. but you
are mistaken" is quite as much Of a
contradiction as saying 1T isn't" and
it is far better manners. II think you
are mistaken" Is another way of ex.
pressing the opinion. A mother need
not be afraid Of making her child a
prig by teaching him such little
things. They are as important to
him as a knowledge of how to speak
dramatically.

A Punta Corda Home.
By M. A. Meadow.

udVC DCcu taxing your magazine
since the 1st of February, and I am
not i1attering you when I say that I
consider it "Crackerjack," for both
the 'Cracker" and the jack-of-all
trades. I read all of it, but, natural
ly, find some classes of topics of
more interest than others, and I
must confess to a special weakness
for the Horticultural Department
The reason for this no doubt, is
the fact that I was born with love
for making things grow, and the COM
bative instinct which in me lives, has
found great field for endeavor in
the peculiar environment which I
found myself planted in ten years
ago. I came from Chicago to my
present location in 1897, to find my
self surrounded by the most barren
and desolate setting for home, that
an enthusiastic admirer of Nature,
could conceive Of Our home was
built on a strip Of land about sixty
five feet wide by four hundred feet
long. (The dimensions of the house
outside the verandas are 48xoo feet.)
This strip of ground was a part of
the beach that is washed by Char
lotte Harbor, an arm of the Gulf,
and very salt, excepting in the sum-
mer months, when the great quanti-
ties of rain that are drained from the
land by Peace River and its tribu-
taries freshen it.
Out in front of the house piece
of ground was filled in 8ox2oo feet
At first an effort was made to have
the earth for this plat hauled from
a distance, but this was going to be
too expensive, so dredge was hired
to pump up sand from the bay and
run it in onto the enclosure This
plat extends out into the water and
has a breakwater of shel1-stone. The
ground here is about foot lower
than the ground on which the house
stands, and on two occasions when
we had very high tides, the water
covered it for two days, and strange
to say without injury to the various
tropical plants which are distributed
over it; and as both the storms oc-
Cured in the spring of the year the
water was very full of salt
Along the street we have planted
two different kinds Of water-oak, and
there are half dozen stocky pal
mettoes interspread with these.
They are now magnificent trees.
Cattle run in Our streets, and the
only fertilizing they have ever had
has been from this source. On our
grounds we have between three and
four hundred varieties of trees and
have been bought from Reasoner
Brothers, of Oneco, Fla. In my
opinion these nurserymen keep the

A Unique Orange Grove.

The following letter and accompany
ing clipping were sent us by Mr.. M.
A. Meadow, Of Punta Gorda, and
acting upon his suggestion we at once
wrote the superintendent of this grove,
asking for a description OF his methods
and the results he has attained. It
was our hope that we might have his
response for publication in this num-
Der, but in that have been disappointed.
So, agreeing with Mr.. Meadow that
the clipping will be of general interest,
we give it in lieu of the hoped-for
article:
Editor Florida Agricu1turist:
enclose clipping from The New
York Packer of April 9Th, which was
read with interest by Florida orange
growers, no doubt. I thought that it
would also interest your readers. If
you could get Mr.. johnson, the super
intende11t of these groves, to write
an article on the results of growing
orange-trees in this unique Mariner,
the information would be much ap-
preciated by all who are interested in
new methods for doing old things
Wildwood, Florida, is not so wild
as it's name implies, but rather a
quiet, progressive little village with
good stores, pleasant homes and a
few good vegetable growers who are
patiently waiting for rain to make
them happy. But Wildwood has one
wild and beautiful spot two miles south
of the village of which she is proud

true or not, it is certainly the largest
in Florida and the most unique and
interesting Here is a grove that has
never had a plow 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 per-

Grlfflng's roses. In my experience
with perhaps more than twenty-five
houses, Grih6ng's roses beat them all,
for the Southern grower. AS you
have advertisements from both of
them you no doubt, will permit me
to say good word for these two
houses. I did lot of experimenting,
and spent a great deal of money
when I first came down here, trying
to get all kinds of Indifferent and
poor stock to grow, but I know
where to get good stuff now, and 7
don't have to experiment any more

teresting and good articles in your
journal, that little practica! advice
like this might be dropped in, to
help those that are rambling around
aimlessly in the wilderness of jg-
nOrance.
After had found the ideal nursery
stock it did not follow that every
thing I planted grew. Far from it,
Sometimes I planted one kind Of
shrub or vine six times before it
grew. But it wasn't the fault Of the
stock; it was the poor sea-sand that
SO poorly filled the requirements of
plants, and which I had to learn to
handle. At last I seem to be getting
to a place where I know my lesson,
and my grounds are really worth
looking at. Just now you will find
an Australian oak in full bloom, look
ing for all the world as if flames
were shooting up from every branch.
The butt of this tree has a circum-
ference of 26 inches. I plant d it
eight years ago. It stands about ten
feet from the salt water.
There are two date palms OF the
Phoenix reclinata order, at opposite
ends of the filled-in ground, that
cover circles 25 feet in diameter
Another remarkable palm is Cocos
plumosa, planted six years ago. It
was two feet high when set out and
now it is at least 50 feet high and
IT'S butt measures Go inches. A few
feet from it stands a purple Bauhinia,
that made magnificent display of
bloom all through March. It blooms
at intervals all through the year, but
in the spring it has one immense dis
play that ec1ipses the later ones.
Another Of my pets that I dote on,
is a Daubentonia. The flowers are
much the shape of sweet peas, nearly
as large, and hang in bunches The
buds are a deep and fiery red, and
on opening, the blooms shade away
to an orange-red The past month
this shrub has been one of the
glories of the garden Seeds from
this plant propagate easily and will
blossom in a years time I have had
these seedlings grow three to four
feet high in a season, and bloom.
Its habit of blooming at intervals
through the year resembles the pur-
pie Bauhinia. At present So1anum,
of the sub-order Wedlandii, is in
bloom, with punches of large, 1aven-
der -colored flowers, that EN- masse
must measure twelve to fifteen inch

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 per-
feet 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 plant
ed but were budded on original wild
orange and lemon trees that have no
doubt grown in this wilderness for ages
The writer was particularly interested
in this grove, because so many people
in Florida, as we'll as elsewhere, think
and thoroughly believe that all Florida
land is SO naturally poor that it will
not produce anything without artificial
fertilization. To all those who still
think SO I would advise come to

SIGNIFICANT SENTENCES
BY THE PRESIDENT.

The world has moved so far that it is
no longer necessary to believe that one
nation can rise Only by thrusting another
down.
This is an era of combination alike
i'll the world of capital and in the world
of labor. Each kind OF combination can
do good; and yet each, however powerful,
must be opposed when it does i'll.
The greatest problem before us is to
exercise such control over the business
use of vast wealth-individual. but espe-
cially corporate-as viii insure its not
being used against the interests of the
public, while yet permitting such ample
legitimate profits as will encourage indi-
vidual initiative
The wrongdoer. the man who swindles
and cheats, whether on big scale or a
little one, shall receive at our hands
mercy as scant as if he committed crimes
of violence or brutality.
1t Is our business to put a stop to
abuses and to prevent their recurrence
without showing a spirit of vindictiveness
for what has been done in the past.
Quoting from Burke: If l cannot
reform with equity. l will not reform at
all. There is a state to preserve as we'll
as state to reform" This is the exact
spirit in which this country should move
TO the reform of abuses of corporate
wealth.
We are unalterably determined to pre-
vent wrongdoing in the future: we have
no intention of trying to wreak such in
discriminate vengeance for wrongs done
in the past as would confound the limo
cent with the guilty. Our purpose is to
build up rather than to tear down.
