insects, visit the affected blossoms,
and coming into contact with the
fresh spores, not only carry them
on their bodies TO almost every
open blossom on tho tree, but IN
crawling over the unopened buds
they convey the spores TO these as
we'll. But worse still, the insects
which have visited an infested
tree carry the spores to other trees
in the grove, and from these sec
ondary infections numerous other
infections occur IN time; so that
hundreds Of trees that were free
from the withertip fungus may

Con .nent on Gilchrist.

Tallahassee Democrat: - Hon,
Albert W. Gilchrist is the strong
est and best man with which to de-
feat machine politics in Florida,
and we believe he will be elected
governor. Gilchrist is riding no
bies, IL connected with no
temes, and IL is truly refreshing
al he is a not q DEMAG0GUE.
Gilchrist will DO the next governor
of Florida.
Gainesville Sun:--Somc of the
Florida editors are urging General
Gilchrist to get married. If the
general is elected Governor, it is
safe TO wager that he will not re-
main a bachelor long. But
whether be wins the Governorship
or not, the woman who wins bis
heart will win a valuable prize.
A son 50 devoted to his mother as
Albert Gilchrist, always makes a
good husband.
Madison New Enterprise: Can
didate GiIcbrist is the only one of
the Gubernatorial bunch who
has thus far seen fit to use the
newspapers extensively. Pick up
any paper from my section Of
Florida and you will be confronted
with the picture of the genial
general and his declaration of
principles. In this way his face
will become well known TO voters
everywhere, and there is no doubt
but that when it>comes to voting
time there are lots of people who,
knowing none of the other cand-
dates, either ''by sight" or by
word, will! cast their votes for the
man whose face they have seen and
whose principles they have read in
the 'home paper"
jacksonville Metropolis: The
course of Candidate Gilchrist is sew

judgment and fine discretion.

FILTHIEST OF PESTS,
Spreading Disease, are Swarm
ing Now.

BY request of the Bradford
County Medical Society, tho
Siprke Telegraph publishes tho
following, which should have tho
serious attention of all people;
Flies are dirty, disease-carrying
insects. They have feet, legs,
bodies and proboseis suited to con-
veying filth Of all kinds, on which
they like to feed, to your table,
your house, your sick-room.
Their filthy habits are well known
to all, and to go into detail would
be repulsivo, hut day after day
this filthy fly alights on our bread
or milk, our meat, our face or our
lips, without stopping to wash
his feet In antiseptic fluid or even
to use soap and hot water.
We hight the mosquito, who n a
sweet-voiced angel, coming clean
and tidy from his home in tln
rain-barrel, AZ compared with tho
dirty housefy, whose ignoble or
igin is a dung hill, and take only
puny steps to keep out Of tho
house q few flies, but the mosquito
is charged principally with the
Transmission of yellow fever and
malaria, while the fly carries chol-
era, typhoid fever, consumption,
diarrhoea, eye diseases, etc.
Then, fight the fly. Howl
Flies hatch in manure. No
reasonably cheap chemical has
been found which would pre-
vent this. A hy-tight box into
which all manure from horse and
COW stables is put every morning
will effectuaIIy abate this nuisance
and danger. Will You do it9
Screening helps, but is many
times more expensive than would
he the other plan. II is unfair,
too, that lam compelled to 90 TO
the expense of screening out thu
flies grown by my neighbor, bull
as long as lie is allowed the privi-
lede Of raising flies ad infnitum
ad nauseam, l must of necessity
screen them out.
Health officials often tear
their hair and shout themselves
hoarse about overgrown weeds ON
a hack lot that in themselves are
inotiensiye or even beneficial To
health, or rail against eye-sore di-
Iapidated fences or buildings that
directly have no connection with
the causation of disease, while
they maintain silence as TO flies
and mosquitoes, both unmitigated
and universal nuisances and actual
active agents in the dissemination
of disease.
Tampa Times: The common
house fly is not only being recog-
nizcd as dangerous public en-
envy, but is being denounced as
such. 1t has been established
that he must be exterminated be-
causc he conveys disease with n
facility unequalled by any other
agency. The stegomya conveys
yellow fever, the anopheles dab
bles in transactions of malaria,
but the house fly is an emissary
for the spread Of many of the
most dangerous diseases known.
He breeds 10 filth, and TO get at
him in the way of extinguishment
we have only to abolish filth or
preserve it from accessibility 30
the fly as a breeding place. The
open closet, the uncovered gar
bage barrel are his stronghOlds.
Both may be abolished with ease

ing a moist winter frequently
causes widespread and genera
dropping of bloom. The only
way to prevent such dropping Of
bloom is to be equipped with nj
irrlgoting plant.
In some cases, a late freeze,
and even chills during the bloom
ing period, may cause Il very CON
siderable shedding Of the bloom,
When this occurs as a result Of
too low temperature, we can do
nothing to prevent it,
Another cause Of tho shedding
of bloom is the occurrence during
the blooming period of heavy rain
storms and winds, These, how
ever, are not ms serious as either
cold or drought, since the rains
and winds that cause shedding Of
bloom are usually confined to
limited areas.
The most serious shedding Of
bloom oncurs as the result of an
attack of parasitic fungus, Col
letotrichum gloeosporioides. This
is a serious trouble, for only too
frequently its cause is not recog-
nized, the shedding Of the bloom
being ascribed TO one of the before
mentioned causes, or to the pres
ence Of tbrips or other insects.
The first sign that we notice in
connection with the withertip
dropping Of bloom is that a great
number of unopened Aower-buds
have fallen from the tree. AS this
same effect may lie the result OF
other causes, the mere fact that
we find unopened flower buds on
the ground should not be consid.
cred as proving that we have a
case of withertip bloom dropping.
Upon closer examination, howev-
or, we find that where the bloom
has cropped on account of being
affected with the withertip
fungus, there are little red
markings upon it; and the buds or
blossoms may be partially, or
even entirely, covered by these
red patches, BY examining such
fiower-buds or petals in the labora-
tory it can be easily demonstrated
that they are affected by the with
ertip fungus. BY Using a strong
hand lens one is able to see the
minute pustules in which the
spores are produced. Such dis
eased fower-buds and petals,
however, difsr so strikingly from
those that have fallen naturally,
that almost every one whose atten-
ton has been called to the point is
able to distinguish between them,
without the aid Of a lens. When
much bloom has dropped as Il re-
suit of being affected with the
withertip fungus, one almost in
variably finds the typical signs OF
withertip on the tree. The most
prominent of these are the dying
back of small sprigs, and the very
characteristic want of leaves on
the inside of the tree. Whenever
one sees a tree in the orchard that
has no interior foliage, 1t should
be noted as a suspicious specimen.
The withertip fungus which
causes the dropping of the flower
buds lives over the winter 10 the
leaves, or in twigs of the tree, Oh
on fallen fruit. From these sour
ces some of the spores find then
way TO an open bud, where the
fungus grows very rapidly and
produces myriads of spores

FLORIDA'S ADVANTAGES
As Seen by a PrOspectOr from
Ohio.

Most of my adult life has been
spent in the two States of Ohio
and Iowa. Twenty-Five years
since, while in Ohio, | began to
think should ENJOY living in a
climate where extreme cold is
never to be feared, | then made
some inquiries about things in
Florida. But circumstances pre-
vented my removal, till now at
last lam q resident here,
The decision made, ! purposely
came south in April, To lest the
the climate during the supposed
hot season, before bringing my
family. If could weather the
months Of April to September, it
seemed that the cool months need
present no important problem. |
have now been here four months.
April | found corresponded 10
JUICE IN the North, and May SEEM
e'l a continuation Of April. June
(here) was like July North, and
july mas been scarcely different
from June. Both months have
been characterized by frequent
and sometimes heavy rains, usual
ly Of short duration. These have
so cooled the air that do not re-
member any June and July at the
north which were TO be compared
with the same here, as to GOODNESS
and comfort. The temperature
has ut times run high--ninety-
eight degrees in IT, 10 being
the maximum. But IL
ing range has been in the o.
Tie other day | felt the heat u
ually-there being at the time h,
breeze. But the mercury stood at
eighty-four degrees, And even as
/ went to look a cool breeze set 10
which banished all thought of dis
comfort. Old residents regard
the summer months as the most
pleasant of the year.
| also wished to test the degree
Of annoyance from insects sup
posing that mosquitoes, sand-hies,
and all that sort of thing would be
we'll nigh uncomfortable. Judge of
my surprise to find most of the
houses without screens, and 10 be
able to sit in room with doors and
windows open at highland bright
light within, without SO much as
one insect entering. ] do not
think j have seen a dozen mosqui-
toes in the four months. There
are houseAies, but so few as to oc-
casion little or no annoyance.
The only annoying insects with
wings is very minute gnat which
never bites, but seems bent on
suicide in ones eyes These are
kept of by touch Of any strong
perfume upon the mustache or
eyebrows.
What l have here said applies
to the high region which forms the
backbone of the Slate. On either
coast things are different. Our
freedom from insects here is the
most remarkable because the
region is full of lakes, large and
snail, which in Minnesota, for
instance, feeds swarms Of such
pests.
] have also been surprised at
the healthfulness of the country.
In the four months | have been

The picture and platform Of
Hon. Jefferson b. Browne, Of
Key West, one of the candidates
for governor, appeared in this
paper as a paid advertisement last
week. The matter came In too
late for editorial notice in the
same issue, but, as 1t was very
conspicuous, there was no need to
call attention to it. And now
there is nothing of Importance or
value that The HERALD might say
regarding Mr. Browne and his
platform, save that he is q gentle
man for whom this writer has
profound respect and his platform
contains much that is commenda-
BILE and eminontly desirable.
We can say candidly that, II
Mr. Browne should become gov
ernor, we believe he would strive
conscientiousIy to fulfill the high
est expectations of his friends by a
faithful and efficient discharge Of
the duties of the exalted Office to
which he aspires. At the sine
time, we are fully convinced that
General Gichrist woSld do equally
as well, ifnot better, and that il
why we are advocating him in
preference to Mr.. Browne. Ii,
however, the latter should win
the nomination, which we think is
very improbable, The HERALD
will'give him its cordial support.
