bringing up has been. I'm hoping that
you may decide to consider to settle
down among us after finding de-
voted husband --one perfectly willing
to die for you any time, of day or
night"
And Miss Clazier would smile and
blush and reply that she liked the
country and the people and she cattle
and the wolves sDi jack rabbits. and
the man would back away bowling to
the ground to assert to his comrades
in waiting that he had made an i'm
preston and to be called liar for the
statement.
Cowboys came from other ranches
but were run on A. fast 40 they APP
peared. Travellers rode out Of their
way. but were discouraged. At the
end Of three months the Two Bar
ranch had the reputation Of being ut
loose ends. and the managers quarter
" report ELECTED the following reply
from eastern stockholders:
mot at all satisfactory. What Is
the matter out therer'
Il have a stenographer and typist,"
was telegraphed back.
sThen discharge or marry her." were
the instructions.
The manager was man of action.
He had never discharged stenogra-
pher from his employ. and he was not
going to begin fhen-not II Miss Gla-
zier would accept him and the other
alternative. She blushed and said she
would. but wansed to go back to Chi
cago for a couple Of weeks to see her
mother.
The men got hold Of the news an
hour later-that is. Old Tom told them
separately and collectively that any Of
them who wanted to bid the angel
goodby would find her In the ONCE
awaiting them 1t was white shirts
and red .neckties again: 1t was more
hair oil and perfumery. They said
nothing to each other, but they read
each others thoughts. II husband
could keep that poor girl at Two Bar
she should have one. II was Old Tom
who lined them up and sent in the
first man. The first man had his
speech all ready. So did the second.
the third and down to the last, and
those speeches were all alike. They
began with a bow and kick and
lump in the throat and proceeded:
II hears, marm-I hears that you are
going away for to dwell in our midst
no more.'

beans may need shading to protect them
while coming up
Tomatoes may be planted; that is, the
seed may be planted, where you wish
them to grow their crop. Make the
hills rich and plant, say four feet apart,
thinning to one plant to hill
Stir the ground in the garden often,
especially after every heavy, beating
rain
This is the month for the main sweet
potato crop. Choose new ground if
possible for this crop Use stable or lot
manure if you can get it. Plant the first
and second cutting of the runners for
plants-that is the tips are better than
the older parts of the vines. 1t seems
to me that ridges foot or more high
produce better than low ridges.
Plant on freshly prepared ground if
possible; that is, prepare today what
you wish to plant today, etc. These
cuttings, or plants are laid across the
prepared ridges about fifteen inches
apart, and pushed into the soft soil with
a stick This is the more rapid way and
is easier on the back than putting in
each plant with the hand, as is usually
practiced farther to the North. The
plants or vines should be pushed into the
ridges about six to nine inches. Keep
clean with horse and hoe until vines
cover the ground.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-06-01

the crop becomes so large and strong
that it is very difficult to incorporate
it with the soil in autumn. Two cuttings
can be made, one about the middle of
July, the other about the first of Sep
tember, after which time the plants
will sprout and in most cases sufficient
seed will be matured to re-seed the
ground The cuttings can be removed
for hay if so desired, but if the soil is
rather poor or lacking in humus, this
should not be done, but the crop should
be allowed to remain and dry On the
surface.
Winter Cultivation.
Before the frost period the grove
should be cleaned up. The presence of
grass Or weeds in the grove increases
the danger from frost injury very ma
terially and for this reason the cover
crop should be incorporated with the
surface soil not later than the middle of
November in the Northern districts,
while in the Southern, where damage
from frosts does not occur, it may be
allowed to remain on the surface of the
ground until later. If this is followed by
a cutaway harrow, or in some cases a
very shallow blowing may be given, it
will put the grove in condition for the
winter months During the winter no
cultivation should be given but the grove
should be allowed to remain untouched
until the opening of spring.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-06-01
Work That Should Be Done InJune
BY w. H. HASKELL.

after that it is best to cease culture and
let the fruit grow naturally and more
slowly, to avoid splitting and dropping.
Under no circumstances would use
the plow in the orchard or orange grove,
if my aim was crop of fruit. Tearing
UP the surface roots cuts off the supply
from the crop. If you have planned to
fertilize your orchard or grove twice
this year, and it is usually best to do so,
use grade of fertilizers high in potash,
for fruit crop, say ten or fifteen per
cent of sulphate of potash, to make
bright, sweet fruit, with good keeping
and shipping qualities.
Potash and phosphate are the main
ingredients for growing trees from this
on through the remainder of the season,
to make solid, we'll ripened wood
The early part of this month is the
time for the first early peaches from
this latitude northward. The Jewel
peach during this month, should bring
good price in the Eastern markets, if
you can be fairly treated by your COM
mission house. Be sure they are we'll
known and honest Select solid Fl ruit
that will stand up we'll during the time
required to get to market, only the best.
Pack tightly and in attractive packages.
Try the East Coast of Florida, south
of you before shipping North for
market. There are lots of people there,
and they grow but few peaches, etc. If
you can get $I.oo per bushel in the Or
chard after the shipping peaches are
gathered it would be we'll to so dispose
of all you can.
If you conclude you have to spray
your orange grove, as good a remedy
as anything for all leaf-eating insects, to
smother them, is soapsuds. Bordeaux
mixture for fungus diseases is the thing,
but the vigorous growth of the trees,
where we'll cared for and suitably fed,
generally obviates the need of spraying
at this season of rapid growth.
This is the month for rebuilding grove
trees, as new buds will be formed now.
In the garden about all the crops,
such as onions, potatoes, cabbage, ETC.,
will have been shipped and disposed of
by the middle of June.
1t may pay to continue to ship to-
natoes this month, or the early part of
it. What was said of peaches applies
equally we'll to tomatoes, as to selection,
packing, etc. Tomatoes must be fine and
first class to pay to ship from Florida
this month. Find your market at home,
or can them, and you will have good
home market for all you can put up.
Of course this is the month to send
your watermelon ana canteloupe crops
to Northern markets. Ship only in car
load lots, and to responsible houses, or
better still, if you have the opportunity,
sell your crops of melons, etc., to buyers
in your fields or aboard cars at your
railroad stations. 1t may pay to ship
sweet corn to cities not requiring too
long time in transportation.
In planting for June for your own
use and local markets, try tomatoes.
They will be in demand if you succeed
in making a good crop. Also late
crop of watermelons, sweet corn, cucum-
bers, pole beans and bush beans. The
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-06-01

The chicks in good substantial coops
are safe at night and can be controlled
as desired during the day. 1t is indeed
discouraging to try to raise chickens
as many do in cold, damp, ill-constructed
places. Where rats are bad, board
floors are desirable, as rodents will dig
under coops on the ground. And the
board floors also help to keep the chicks
warm and dry in early spring.
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-06-01

Since the rains of the past three weeks
the grass grows fast, and we will have
to bestir ourselves to keep the crops
from being stunted by the growth of
grass, ETC., and to keep such growth from
using Our precious fertilizers. So keep
the Acme harrow going while the soil
is dry.
For shallow culture, and that is the
culture that is required, the Acme har-
row is the best tool [ have ever used.
1t does not tear up what you have
buried or plowed under, neither does it
drag the trash on the surface into heaps,
as does the ordinary cultivator, but if
the ground is very foul and the grass,
ETC., has gotten a start of you, then the
Planet Junior cultivator, Or something
equally effective will have to be used.
But don't do as some unthinking ones
usually do, in treating a crop, say of
cane or corn. This is how they do it:
On one of these bright, sunshiny days,
they take one-horse ploW, and going
close up, say as close as four to Six
inches, they proceed to plow furrow
six inches deep away from the cane;
this often when the ground is full of the
cane roots. This might not be so bad
if they would Immediately turn this
furrow back again, but they usually
leave the crop in this mutilated condition
for week or two In my opinion it
would be much better to leave the crop
without any blowing than to cut the
feeding roots from their foundation and
supply. Therefore, in your horse cul-
ture of any crop, see that you do not
go too close and too deep.
Be sure to thin the corn, even now, if
it is too thick. One stalk in place will
produce one or two good ears, where
more stalks often would only yield
small nubbins.
This is the month to put in the main
forage crops, such as cow peas, soy
beans, millet, sorghum, rice, peanuts, etc.
If you contemplate growing crop of
velvet beans don't delay putting them
in, the sooner the better. All land that
has grown an early crop should be pre-
pared and planted to some forage crop.
Make it level so the machine can be
used in harvesting the crop of hay or
peas or whatever it may be.
All the corn ground should be plant
ed to cow peas. Put in a row between
the rows of corn This plan enriches
the corn ground, besides producing
moderate crop of cow peas.
On extra good ground it would pay
to grow a crop of California black eye
COW peas AS they are not productive On
poor ground it would only pay on extra
good ground This variety sells we'll
in the local markets for dry peas, as it
is used as substitute for the navy bean.
But for a good crop on ordinary
ground the whippoorwill, conch, and red
ripper, with the black stock pea are the
most productive.
There is a variety of corn called June
corn, and if you are going to be short
of corn try some of this variety this
month.
In the orchard the best we can do
now will be to keep the harrow running
to keep down the crab grass. This till
the rainy season sets in in earnest, as
