 and Minor Leagues.

An interesting baseball game was played in Waterbury, Saturday after noon, on the private ball grounds of the American Brass Co, South Bank street. The opposing teams were composed of players from the An- sonia Coe Brass plant, office men, and clerks in the American Brass of flee in Waterbury. The score sec sawed up to the seventh inning when the Coe Brass boys started the fire works, and aided by Waterbury er- TOTS, piled up four runs, making the score in this inning 8-4. One more run came over for Ansonia in the ninth and the game was over, to- tai runs 9-4.
 The Coe Brass infield surprised it. self and during the game only four batted balls went outside of the dia- mond when the American Brass boys were working the clubs. Ansonia was partial to the delivery of the Waterbury pitcher, Allen, and but for some good fielding by American Brass the score would have been much larger. Hickey, left fielder for Waterbury, made brilliant catch of a fly ball after a hard run and a jump into a ditch, near one of the factory buildings.
 "Dicksie' Nolan, who pitched for Coe, was the bright particular star for the Ansonia aggregation, excel ling in pitching, fielding and bat ting. The batteries were: American Brass, Rockwell, catcher, V. Allen, pitcher; Coe Brass, Lugg catcher, Nolan, pitcher.
 Preceding this game on the same field was one by teams from Coe Brass, Torrington, and the second office team of the American Brass. The former won, 7-6, making a double defeat for the American Brass office.
 The managers of the Junior Anna teur league held meeting at the rooms .of the Quaker Athletic club last night and arranged the schedule for the second set of games, which will commence next Sunday.
 The protest of the Stanley Parks in regard to their recent defeat by the Golden Stars was sustained and the game will have to be played over The protest arose over decision by the umpire which conflicted with the rules of the game.
 The Young Tigers of Maple street would like to arrange a game with the Hustlers of North Willow street. The Tigers are: F. Monaghan, c; c. McGowan, p; G. Allen, 1b; F. Sutton, 2b; J. Pagan, 3b; E. Cass, ss; c. Wheeler, If; E. Ruda, Of; and E. Monaghan, If.
 Again we call the attention of managers to the fact that they must write on one side of the paper onlY If you wonder why your challenges and stories of games are not pub lished, the reason is that all com mpnications written on both sides of the paper are tossed into the waste basket.

Work in the team line shows a general decline in percentages. The pitchers are getting down to their work and the hits. as rule are less. Hartford gained few points and so did New London, but all the others fell off. Springfield still holds the lead. while Holyoke has passed Wat erbury and is in second place. Bridge port is fourth, while Hartford is last.

The Florida State Horticultural
Society.
Society.

The first announcement OF this years
meeting, in the Florida Agriculturist,
was correct, giving the date as May
18th to 18th inclusive By mistake,
which was not the fault OF the printers,
but ours, in writing, the next notice
gave the date as May 10th to 10Th.
We are very sorry that this mistake
was made and hasten to correct it as
soon as possible after Our. attention was
called to it,
The coming meeting promises to be
one Of unusual interest and we believe
will be profitable to all who attend
The secretary has informed us that
the people Of St. Petersburg have ar
ranged to give the members an excur-
sion on the Manatee river on one day
opportunity to see the land of the
Manatee
We hope that you are planning to be
present and are doing what you can to
induce others to go. Send in the
names as fast as possible, so as to
allow time for the return of the certif-
cate of membership, without which
you cannot secure any reduction Of
fare
Mr.. Painter has also informed us
that SO far Mr. Graves, Of Gainesville,
holds the banner as the most success
full canvasser for new members, he
having sent in 81 new names. We
hope that some of the others may yet
surpass his record

description Of St. Petersburg, it's bust
ness interests and it's progressive peo-
pie, with illustrations of some OF the
most prominent points of interest.
We would be pleased to have all our
regular correspondents and others,
contribute short, practical articles on
horticultural subjects for this number,
and request that such matter be sent
in as soon as possible.
We also ask as a special favor that
each reader send us the names of a
few friends who should be regular sub
scribers, that we may mail sample
copies to them.
AS we shall print several thousand
extra copies of this edition it will
furnish a splendid opportunity for

in?' If the editors of the political press
had gone into the rural districts they
would have found that the farm papers
had posted the farmers on Mr.. Dry
den's position in regard to the oleo
law The farmers were informed that
Mr.. Dryden would favor the repeal
OF the law against butter fraud The
farm papers pushed the button and the
farmers did the rest and brought
enough pressure on the members Of the
legislature to secure Mr.. Dryden's re-
tirement. The example of Mr.. Wads-
worth, OF New York, and Mr.. Dryden,
OF New Jersey, should be sufficient"
Some senators and a good many
congressman Jail to recognize the wish
es Of farmers, but they are beginning
to learn The fact is the Grange is
managed by number of honest men
who keep we'll posted in regard to the
doings of public men. The Grange is
SO thoroughly well organized that these
public questions may be brought to the
attention OF a million farmers in the
course Of few years time. Farmers
are no respecters Of wealth. Because
man is worth a million his rasca1ity
is just as obnoxious to farmer as
though he happened to be poor man.

A Ship Canal Across the Everglades

A water way across the state would
be Of immense value to the west coast.
By giving steamers a chance to cross
directly over, without going around be-
low the Keys, the time Of transporta-
ton would be so shortened that citrus
fruits from the west coast could go
all the way by water at great saving
in freight
The editor Of the Pensacola Journal
proposes that the legislature shall pro-
vide for the building OF two more large
dredges and dig the proposed drainage
canal deep enough to be ship canal.
Then if it proves successful as drain
age canal, we'll and good, but if not, we
at least will have ship canal.
This is only a very brief summary
OF his proposition and does not quote
his argument at all The last number
Of the Fernandina Record contains an
editorial note endorsing the above pro-
posed ship canal.
We do not see that there can be
any serious objection to this compro-
mise. It gives the advocates of drain
age all and more than they ask, while
it gives those opposed to drainage the
assurance that the money spent on the
canal will not be wholly wasted, even
if il turns OFT that the Fvero1a DIES cam
not be drained, or that if drained, the
soil is not worth draining.
We trust that this idea will receive
due consideration by the legislature.

Senator Dryden of New Jersey.

The power Of the farmer vote has
been proven very conspicuously twice
within the past year. Of course,
where they have an organization like
the Grange, it is much easier to make
their power felt. But every Individual
voter can make his influence tell if he
will be Knight Of the Postage Stamp,
and write at least twenty-five letters
to public men, senator's, representa-
tlves, legislators, ETC., each year.
The Farm Press prints the following
item:
During the past month the daily pa
perS have had numerous articles on The
defeat of Senator Dryden before the
New Jersey legislature, but very few
OF these articles give the true reason.
An editorial in the Practical Farmer
puts it in this way:
The remarks in the daily papers in
regard to the defeat Of Senator Dry
den, OF New Jersey, remind us of the
old question, who Killed Cock Rob-

The Anti-Bucket-Shop Law.

We mentioned, last week, the fact
that the legislature of Texas and also
Of Arkansas, has passed stringent laws
against gambling in futures, or bucket
shops as they are commonly called.
This weeks Maine Farmer mentions
the fact that the legislature OF Massa-
chusetts has before it bill providing
that all such gambling shall be unlaw-
full in that state. The Maine Farmer
says that the proposed law in Massa-
chusetts is much more stringent in its
provisions than the one on the statute
books Of Maine
When SO many states are taking this
step, we hope that Florida will not be
behind, but will outlaw all gambling,
either in futures or in any other way.

not be stingy with the materials. To
have good success you should have
stable manure. Probably heavy ap-
plication Of cottonseed meal, put on
long enough in advance to be we'll de-
cayed, would help, but you cannot get
the soil too rich. Probably a heavy
mulch over the soil through the sum-
mer would be advisable. If it required
a cover OF cloth over the land, such as
is used for tobacco, it would still be a
very profitable crop. Try it.

The Torrens System.

We have urged the adoption of this
system OF registering land titles and
the method has been fully explained in
these columns.
The legislature Of Florida is now
III session. If you believe in this
method, you can help it on by writing
to the representative from your county
and urge him to vote and work for it.
We do not advise making it COM
pulsory but optional, except that in the
settlement of estates it should be re-
CURED that the title be registered &C
cording to this system.
Now would be good time for our
readers to become Knights Of. the
Postage Stamp, and send as many
letters as possible to members in re-
gard to this matter.

Who Should Attend Horticultural
Meetings?

The following private note to the
secretary was sent to us to be printed
by special permission Of the author
We call your attention to this as the
experience Of veteran in the same
line
1T is my deliberate opinion, based
on over half century's experience
with such meetings, that no fruit grow

cultural Society,"

Asparagus.

We hope that our readers will test
the possibility OF growing this vege-
table in Florida Southern California
shipped it to New York by the car
load, and the prices realized were very
high, in few cases reaching from Is
cents to nearly or quite 81 bunch,
at wholesale. Those who are familiar
with the climate OF Southern California,
know that there is very little frost, not
enough to freeze the soil, yet asparagus
is grown in sufficient quantities to load
cars.
The plants are not expensive. We
have not seen quotations lately, but
feel sure that 81 will buy enough
plants, sent by mail, to give you a
chance to try them. Be sure that the
soil is deep and we'll drained, and then
fertilize it as heavily as possib1e-do

The Express Companies.

The Express Companies.
The editor OF the American Guilt
vator, expresses surprise that the peo-
pie Of this country are not as much
aroused over the extortlons OF the
express companies as they are over
those OF the railroad companies. We
20 not think it strange, because those
who come in contact with the express
companies are very few in comparison
with the multitude who suffer from the
extortionate freight rates which are
charged by the railroads. All that the
editor says about these companies is
fully justified by the experience OF
thousands, and is strong argument
in favor of placing them under con-
troll Of the railroad commission:
1t is hard to understand why, with all
the popular opposition to railroads,
there is not more sentiment against the
exactionS Of the express companies.
The behavior Of the railroads is mild
compared with the hidden monopoly
Of the concerns which dominate express
transportation. Combined in an in
system, they are accountable to no
body for the rates and service render
ed, and in many cases do not, appare emit
ly, care particularly for the interests
or opinions OF their patrons who pay
enormous prices for their services.
BY ownership of one another's stock
and arrangement as to roads and ter
rltory, it matters little to them
whether business is transferred from
one express company to another.
lhelr 1nsolence to the Interstate Com
merce Commission is a matter of
record. 1t looks as if the Commission,
backed by the new law, would finally
get the upper hand, but it is certainly
slow process with the first skirmishes
in favor of the express companies, who
have actually succeeded in raising the
already exorbltant rates in several To-
callt1es, concealing their actions in
various ways through change in CLASH
hcatlon, regulations as to weight and
other incldentals, which in operation
increase the revenue Of the company
and lessen the convenience to the
shipper
The investigation ordered by Con-
gress into the method Of the express
companies in handling and marketing
produce, thus entering directly into the
produce commission business, ought to
produce interesting results, but this
feature of the express monopoly is by
no means the one which appeals most
to the great ma ority Of people. High
rates, careless handling, the arbitrary
rules and the lack Of fair rates on ship
ments over lines of two or more ex-
press companies are matters of most
general complaint.
In connection with the above, read
the following editorial from the San
ford Chronicle:
While the Congress of the United
States and the legislatures of the va
r1ous States are investigating the ex-
cesslVe rates charged by railroads for
transportation, and the telephones and
