PREPAYMENT OF FREIGHT ON FRUIT
Not Required by the Florida Dispatch Line.
From correspondence with this office, the im-
pression seems to prevail among some shippers
that freight on fruit to interior Western points
ha ot be prepaid, Such is not the case. The
Florida Dispatch Line receivess the fruit at
Jaakitinvilte and ,Callahan frow. its connec-
tions, paying theoi their charges' to those points,
forwards to destination-, and collect as per con-
ditions under tariff published in THE FLORIDA
DISPATCH.
Rates to the principal points only are pub-
lished, as it would be impracticable to quote
rates in this paper to all points.
We issue bills of lading to the points named
-therein; also, can and would publish rates to
any other point to which sufficient quantity was
shipped to justify it. But until such points are
developed into an important market, the rates
;are guaranteed, and protected by bill of lading
to the nearest principal point. From this to its
final destination the current rate applies and
the fruit ca tried, collect freight on delivery.
We, as yet, have no rates to interior points
*in the Carolinas and Virginia, and no rates in
connection with the "Atlantic Coast Line,"
hence do not and cannot receive freight for that
line, or to interior points in the Carolinas and
Virginia, except Charleston, S. C., to which
point we quote rates and carry fruit all-rail,
being via Savannah, Florida and Western and
Charleston and Savannah Railway.
Your special attention is called to our tariff
and conditions underneath. If not fully umn-
.derstood, address D. H. ELLIOTT,
Gen'l Agent Florida Dispatch Line, Jackson-
ville, Florida.
At the bottom of a good deal of the bravery\
that appears in the world there lurks a miser-
able cowardice. Men will face powder and
steel because they cannot face public opinion.-

Commercial Fertilizers.
A correspondent of the South Florida Jotura-
al thus takes up the cudjels for commercial ma-
nures :
We notice that some of our Orange County
citizens write long letters to prove that com-
mercial fertilizers are useless, which we fail to
endorse, as our, experience has been so much tQ.
the contrary. It is impossible to get animal
manure, first, because we have not the stock,
and secondly, because if we had we could not
save the manure while stock is on the range
the entire year. It is during the winter that
the Northern farmers accumulate the dung
while the stock is housed.
Now we can site to many instances where
groves and gardens have been and will be made
with commercial fertilizers. exclusively. That
part of Belair grove which has been fertilized
with commercial manures, is much better than
the part that was cow-penned.
Dr. Foster's grove on Lake Jessup,which has
been made with nothing but commercial fer-
tilizer, will clip somewhere about 40,000 this
year, and that from three-year-old buds. We
don't believe in trying to make a grove with-
out manure. We, cannot get animal dung-
we know.we can make a grove with fertilizers,
and werinow we can raise the finest vegetables*
at a profit with chemicals, therefore we shall
continue to make our garden and our grove, to
use reliable chemical fertilizers, and advise our
friends to buy and use all they can afford to,
as we are convinced that it is the best, cheap-
est and almost the only fertilizer we can
get. __
How Sanford was Named.
Hon. H. S. Sanford will arrive in New York
next week, and will soon after be in Sanford.
He has long been absent from the town that
has assumed his name, and we hope he will be so
'surprised at the improvements that have been
made during his absence, that he will develop
some scheme, as he generally does, for its fur-
ther advancement.
Mr. Editor: On reading the above para-
graph, in your issue of November 2d, it oc-
curred to me it would be worth while to pre-
serve the truth of history relating to the growth
of our town.


tage free.


Sanford did not assume its own name. When
I settled where I still live, the present site of
the town was a wild hunting ground, at points
almost impenetrable.
On joint account with Mr. Sanford I built a
wharf and small warehouse. Soon after, a
small stock of goods for sale was put in a small
house' by a small tradesman, and so business
beg -.
My wife and daughter and myself, on sug-
gestion that this might be the beginning of a
town, were casting about for a name when my
daughter suggested SANFORD, in honor of the
principal landed proprietor of the neighbor-
hood; and thus it was called. This was in the
autumn of 1870.---J. Wofford Tacker, in South
Florida Jourpal.
Good Farming in Georgia.
The Cochran (Ga.) Banner says: It is time
for the "up country" people to quit turning up
their noses at the "poor pine barrens of wire-
grass Georgia," when we state as the truth the
following facts: Mr. John NeSmith, who farms
just out of town, this year, with one horse, made
with his own labor, fourteen bales of cotton and
three hundred bushels of corn. Where is the
one-horse farm' in any part of Georgia that can'
beat that ? Mr. NeSmith also made an abund-
ance of vegetables for his family-potatoes, etc.
The Wrightsville Record also gives the fol-
lowing instance of good farming in the wire-
grass regions: "Mr. Blaxton, living oni the
place of B. G. Smith, on the line of this county
and Jefferson, made this year on about fifty-
five acres of land, with a.nineteen-year-old horse,
20 bales of cotton, 125 bushels of corn, and
about 500 bushels of potatoes and other pro-
duce usually made upon a farm. The work was
done by Mr. Blaxton and his two sons; all the
plowing was done by one horse except about
five days."
-I saw one excellency was within my reach;
it was brevity, and I was determined to obtain
it.-Jay.
-It is the misfortunes of all miscellaneous
political combinations, that with the purest mo-
tives of their more generous members are ever
mixed the most sordid interests and the fiercest
passions of mean confederates.-*-Bulwer-Lytton.

Varieties of the Citrus Family.

As the season has arrived for transplanting
orange trees and starting young groves, our
readers and newcomers to our State, who con-
template entering into this lucrative employ-
ment, will find below a good description of the
different species of the orange, important hints
as to choice varieties to plant, &Ac., which we
copy by permission from the "Manville Nur-
sery Catalogue."
THE SWEET ORANGE, (Citrus aurantium.)
The characteristics of the varieties described
follow the common type of the species except
in the particulars noted.
Varieties marked with an asterisk (*) are
best known and most esteemed.
To facilitate selection, we divide the varie-
Sties of this species into five classes.
CLASS I.-Varieties fruiting early in season.
Egg.-Synonyms, Beach's No. 1, Thornless
Bell, Early Oblong.--Small, oval, thin-skinned,
sweet, lacking the sub-acid of other sorts. At-
tains its perfection in September or October.
Esteemed for home use. There is a sub-variety
which is large, coarse, insipid, and inferior.
Like the varieties under Class III, it is easily
distinguished by the appearance of fruit or fo-
liage.
CLASS II.-Varieties fruiting late in the season.
Tardif.-Synonym, Hart's Late. A com-
mon Florida orange, in quality above the av-
erage. Retains its juices until the middle of
July, or even later, and is especially valuable
on this account. Foliage somewhat distinct.
CLASS III.-Varieties readily distinguished by
the appearance of fruit or foliage, whose
marked peculiarities are constant.
Bell.*-Large pear or bell-shaped. Of de-
licious flavor and a good shipper. One of the
best.
Du Roi.*-Size medium, quality superior.
Plainly marked, being ribbed like a muskmel-
on. Skin firm, a good shipper and prolific.
Charley Brown.-Very much flattened at
stem and blossom ends. Thornless; foliage pe-
culiar.
Maltese Blood.-Pulp of a blood-red color.
This appears in the form of flakes when the
fruit begins to ripen, which gradually increases
until the entire pulp is colored. Thornless;
foliage peculiar.
Navel.---Synonyms, Umbilical, Bahia, Em-
biguo.-Large, nearly seedless, pulp melting,
quality very superior. Bears a peculiar um-
bilical formation on the summit or blossomed
of the fruit. Nearly thornless. Bears young.
Claimed by some to be a shy bearer. Foliage
distinct.


St. Michael's.-Medium sized, nearly seedless,
thin-skinned and juicy. Tree prolific; foliage
distinct.
St. Michael's Egg.-Large, oval, thick-
skinned, juicy, but not rich. Prolific.

Golden Angel. Small, thin-skinned, tender,
juicy, very sweet and delicious. Foliage dis-
tinct.
CLASS IV.-Leading varieties of superior ex-
cellence, practically indistinguishable, most-
ly of native origin, but including some for-
eign varieties long grown and thoroughly
tested in the State. This class includes most
of the best varieties of the justly celebrated
Florida orange. The characteristics of the
Several varieties differing little from the


common type do not require particular de-
scription.
Arcadia, Creole, Homosassa,* Nonpareil,*
Peerless-synonym, Rembert's Best. Tahiti,
Dummit, Higgins, Osceola, Beach's No 3, Ex-
celsior, Magnum Bonum,* Old Vini-synon-
yms, Beach's No. 4, Buena Vista. Acis, Dixon,
Spratt's Harmonv, Parson Brown.
CLASS V.-Imported varieties not yet thor-
oughly tested in Florida. The descriptions
are given as received, and cannot be touched
for.
Botelha.-Said to be superior, with thin rind
and rich pulp. Apparently differs little from
native varieties
Exquisite.-A thin-rinded rich and juicy
fruit.
-Sustain.-Large and remarkable for its
sweet juices.
Acapulco.-Recently from California. Said
to be large and fine. A strong grower.
Jaffa.-Recently from Syria, bearing the
name of a city of that country. Said to
be one of the best on the Eastern Mediterra-
nean.

rich and good.
Nicaragua.-A California variety recently
introduced, said to be large and fine.
Portugal.-Recently introduced by way of
California, where it has not been fruited
long enough to determine its quality. Tree
vigorous.
Queen and Rio.-See Portugal.
THE BITTER ORANGE, (Citrus bigaradia.)
This species, including the native wild or-
ange of Florida, comprises many useful and
ornamental varieties, a few of which appear
below. It is largely grown in Europe, princi-
pally for the perfume obtained from the blos-
soms.
Sour.-Native 'wild orange of Florida.
Large, color dark, grain coarse, inner rind bit-
ter, juice acid. Retains its perfection through
the summer, when it is much prized for its re-
freshing acid juice. Used also for making mar-
malade and conserves. The tree makes a desir-
able and ornamental shade tree.
Bitter Sweet.-Native wild orange of Flor-
ida. Medium sized, juice sweet and pleasant
when separated from the inner bitter rind.
Used in summer as a substitute for the sweet
fruit.
Variegated.-Leaves and fruit mottled with
white, pale straw color, and several shades of
green. Highly ornamental.
Golden Variegated.-Leaves mottled with a
rich golden color. Very ornamental.


Myrtle-Leaved.-A handsome dwarf tree,
with small, dense, dark green, glossy leaves;
bearing a small, flattened fruit of little use.
A beautiful shrub for ornamental grounds.
Citrus Japonica.-Synonym, Dwarf Orange.
An ornamental dwarf tree resembling the
sour orange. Fruit small and used for pre-
serving.
THE MANDARIN ORANGE, (Citrus nobilis.)
Regarded by some as a distinct species, by
others as a marked variety of sub-species of
the Sweet Orange, from which it is distinct in
both tree and fruit. It is also called the Tan-
gierine Orange.
China.*-Synonym, Willow-Leaved. Small,
flattened, deep yellow color, skin thin, skin and
segments loosely adherent, flesh dark orange
color, spicy and aromatic. Tree, dwarf, with
willow-like foliage.


St. Michael's.-Fruit slightly pearishaped, in
other respects resembling the China.
Bioou.*-Synonyms, Moragne's Tangierine,
Dancy's Tangierine. Fruit a little larger than,
the China, which it resembles, except in its
deep crimson color. Tree unlike the other va-
rieties-resembles the sweet orange in size and
foliage, though it retains the aroma peculiar to
the species. A seedling identical with the
parent tree first received the name Bijou.
Canusa.-Fruit similar to China, but said
to be of finer flavor; foliage very peculiar;
leaves narrow at the base and widening slightly
their entire length.
Satsuma.-The fruit is medium sized, flat-
tened, deep orange color, smooth, thin skin,
which is sweet, aromatic and easily detached
from the pulp. Color of pulp dark orange;
segments part freely; fine grain, tender, juicy,
sweet and delicious. There is none of that pe-
culiar rank odor which characterizes most
other varieties belonging to the same class and
species. The tree is thornless, the leaves pe-
culiarly thick, lanceolate, serrated medium, pet-
iole, linear; and the fruit is seedless. New
and desirable.
THE LEMON, (Citrus lemonum.)
Bijou.-Small, smooth, thin-skinned, juicy;
acid fine. Foliage distinct.
Everbearing.-Quality fair; bears constant-
ly, and on this account, very desirable for home
use.
Sicily.*-Size medium; rind sweet; skin
smooth, thin, tough and dense; membrane
covering segments of pulp thin and small in
quantity; pulp juicy; acid fine; quality best.
Not a Florida raised seedling, but the genuine
imported lemon of commerce.
Bergamot.-Large, rough, flattened; of little
value; leaves large and broadly winged; ap-
pearance peculiar. Erroneously introduced
under the name of Bijou.
French's Seedling.*-A native variety fully
equal to the imported Sicily, which it closely
resembles. Tree has very few thorns.
Eureka.-Recently introduced from Califor-
nia. Said to be of medium size, with sweet
rind and strong acid. Tree thornless; strong
grower; early and prolific bearer.
Genoa.-Imported by way of California,
where it is esteemed one of the best. Descrip-
tions similar to Eureka.
Lisbon.-Imported by way of California.
Said to be of good quality, though not as high-
ly esteemed as the foregoing.
Imperial.-Imported from Europe and high-
ly recommended.
Lamb.*-A native variety resembling the
imported Sicily. One of the best.

and refreshing.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Ihe following are of recent introduction,
and do not beloiig to any of the foregoing spe-
cies.
Bergamot.-Known also as the Bergamot
Orange or Bergamot Lemon, probably a hy-
brid. Fruit peat shaped ; pale yellow, with
green sub-acid; firm, fragrant pulp; fruit and
foliage distinct. Grown in Europe, where the
fragrant oil of Bergamot is obtained from the
rind.
Otaheite.-A dwarf variety, bearing an
*bundance of reddish flowers, and small,
ihowy fruit; sweet and thin-skinned. A pret-
ty ornamental shrub, attracting considerable at-
tention as a stock upon which to dwarf the
sweet orange.
Kumquat.-A small species much cultivated
in China and Japan. The* plant is a shrub,
sometimes six feet high, but in cultivation, is
niot allowed to exceed the height of a goose-
berry bush. The fruit is oval, about the size
of a large gooseberry; the rind is sweet and
the juice acid. It is delicious and refreshing.
The Chinese make an excellent sweet meat by
preserving it in sugar.
Desimatus.-One of the curiosities of the
Citrus. Foliage peculiar; leaves of a droop-
ing habit; has the appearance of being var-
nished; no two leaves alike' in shape; fine for
ornamental grounds.



Bananas and Plantains.
i The.New Orleans Times-Democrat has this
ti say-about Bangnae and Plintains:
A pound of bananas contains more nutri-
ment than three pounds of potatoes, while as a
food it is in every sense of the word far supe-
rior to the best wheaten bread. An acre of
ground planted with bananas will return, ac-
cording to Humboldt, as much food material as
thirty-three acres of wheat, or over a hundred
acres of potatoes.
The banana (it should be called plantain, for
until lately there was no such word as banana)
is divided into seven varieties, all of which are
used for food. The plantino mazinito is a
small, delicate fruit, neither longer nor stouter
than a lady's forefinger. It is the most deli-
cious and prized of all the varieties o? plan-
tain.
El plantino guineo, called by us the banana,
is probably more in demand than any other
khid. It is subdivided into different varieties,
the principal of which are the yellow and pur-
ple bananas that we see for sale in our markets;
ut the latter is so little esteemed by the na-
tives of the tropics that it is seldom eaten by
them.


.El plantino grande-known to us as simply
the plantain-is also subdivided into varieties
which are known by their savor and their size.
The kind that reaches our market is almost ten
inches long, yet on the Isthmus oP Darien there
are plantains that grow from 18 to 22 inches.
They are never eaten raw, but are either boiled
or roasted, or are prepared as preserves.

One of the most noted w6men in New York
journalism is Miss Middy Moigan, who does
the cattle reports for four New York papers,
among them the Tribune and Times. She has
acquired a fund of knowledge of cattle and
horses, both on the farm and turf, which may
be envied by the most experienced male sports-
men.


Corn--New Mode of Growing.
It appears (according to "Saunders," in the
Tribune), that Mr. J. S. Winter, of Montgom-
ery, Ala., has been making experiments in
growing corn. From a letter explaining his
views and their results, we extract the follow-
ing, which will explain his method: His first
experiment was in planting in rows fourteen
feet apart and one foot apart in the drill, or at
the rate of 3,640 stalks to the acre, to corre-
spond with the number common to the acre
when sown in the usual three by four feet way.
The returns from this trial induced a further
experiment. Twenty acres were put down in
rows twelve feet wide and one foot apart in the
drill, and notwithstanding the prevailing and
unusual disastrous drouth of the last season,
the crop realized was double the best grown on
the land for years, and twice that grown on
the infinitely richer adjoining bottom lands cul-
tivated with equal care, but planted in the or-
dinary mode, and ordinarily producing double
the crop usual to the land devoted to the ex-
posure of the plants to the influence of light
and air, as also in a measure to the greater
moisture-retaining capacity of the wider and
amply cultivated spaces incident to the change.
After making several efforts in the demon-
stration of the greatly superior advantages of
the wider row system of corn culture, Mr.
Winter rewards with most favor the planting
two rows four feet apart, with the distance in
the drill say from nine inches to two feet, de-
termined and regulated by the quality of the
land; then skipping sixteen feet-two other
four-feet rows, followed as before, and so
throughout, the yet wider beds being necessary,
as he conceives, to the freer and less hindered
use of the intervening spaces for the adjunctive
crops-which he has in view as part of the sys-
tem, such as field peas, millet, fodder corn, etc.,
to be put in after the corn crop has received its
final cultivation.
Mr. Winter remarks that "the distance in
the drill thought best on the particular lands
devoted to these experiments is one foot, so that
the number of stocks to the acre will, in theo-
ry at least, be 4,854, or'just a third more than
the 3,640 due to the current three-by-four
method ; while the latest experiment warrants
expectation, under average condition's, of one-
half more weight of corn to one stalk."
Wr. Winter thus further sums up.the advan-
tages of this system: And thus 20 acres of
the 100, say, ordinarily surrendered to the corn
crop, it seems possible indeed together, and es-
pecially in seasons of protracted drought, for
the wider beds secure absolute immunity from
its usual prejudice-double the corn to be
otherwise produced on the entire 100 acres, and
of vastly better quality; while the field pea
sown as early as the 1st of May may be altern-
ated with German millet, fodder corn, and


other quickly maturing crops, to be put down
in this latitude as late even as the middle of
July and gathered by the first of September,
and these in turn by the native crab grass,
Which will be all the -better for the later
start.
"And the promise is, accordingly, of adjunc-
tive crops rivalling in value and in their uses,
to the practical farmer particularly, the main
or corn crop; while again, the cost of growing
and gathering each and every of the entire of
these products is infinitely reduced, if aided in
the work by the improved power implements
now-a-days at every good and thrifty farmer's
command.
The annual cheese product of the United
States, for an average good season, is now esti-
mated at 400,000,000 pounds, and the butter
product at 1,200,000,000 pounds.


INCREASED VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS.-
A contemporary says: "In 1816 one bushel of
corn would buy one pound of nails. In 1882
one bushel of corn would buy fifteen poundsof
nails. In 1816 it took from twenty to eighty
dozen of eggs to buy one bushel of salt. In
1882 one dozen of eggs would do the same
thing. In 1816 it required sixty-four bushels
of barley to buy one yard of broad-cloth. In
1882 five bushels of barley would do the busi-
ness. In 1816 it required one bushel of wheat
to purchase one yard of calico. In 1882 one
bushel of wheat would buy thirty-five yards of
a better article. In 1819 a pair of woolen
blankets cost as much as a cow. In 1882 a cow
would buy from six to twenty pairs of blankets
superior in every way."
FLORIDA OYSTERS AND SHELL BANKS.-A
New York oyster dealer, interviewed by a Sun
reporter, gives his theory of the formation of
our shell banks. He said:
There's one man who comes here who al-
ways wants Florida oysters, so I get them. The
bed is right inside the mouth of the St. John's
River, at a little place called Pilot Town, and
they are the sweetest oysters you ever ate when
fat, only they're as fresh as can be. All they
need is plenty of salt. I've eaten them myself
right out of the water, and don't want anything
better.
"The oyster bed is a curiosity itself. The
whole town is built on ancient oyster beds, that
have grown to the surface slowly, and pushed
the river to the south ; this has been going on
for ages, so that if you dig a quarter of a mile
from the shore inland, you will come upon oys-
ter shells solid. I watched a man dig the foun-
dation for a house when I was there, and a foot
down there was nothing but the old beds. In
some places the shells were piled in mounds,
showing that the old settlers must have enjoyed
them, and there you can find all the old pot-
tery you want. In Key West, further down,
there's a part of the place called Conchtown,
on account of the fact that these shell fish are
eaten there. I've tried them also, but excuse
me. I took dinner with an acquaintance there
once, and he asked me if I'd have some conch
stew. It looked just like chicken stew, and
fine chicken at that-rather more like turkey
meat. I said 'Yes,' but I tell you when I took
the first mouthful, I wished I hadn't come."
CASSAVA.-A gentleman in Leon County,
who is familiar with the cultivation of Cas-
sava, puts down the yield at seventy tons per
acre. At $7 per ton, which is a fair average
price, an acre of land will yield $490 for the
crop of roots alone. The seed from an acre of
cassava will readily sell for $40, thus giving
$530 as the gross receipts from an acre of cas-
sava.
[Divide these glowing results by two, and
the business will pay.-EDS. DISPATCH.]


A GRATEFUL WIDOWER.-The Perry (Ga.)
Home Journal says : Mr. T. J. Cater harvest-
ed his town crop of sweet potatoes last week,
an abundant yield of large, smooth tuber s.
Through the kindness of his heart he sent a
bushel to each of the widow ladies in town.
When we went .home that night we found that
Mr. Cater had left a bushel of very fine pota-
toes there, and our widow requests us to return
her sincere thanks to the kind donor, in which
we heartily join."
Seth Green, the pisciculturist, will arrive in
Florida some time this month for the purpose of
observing the shad fisheries, and will follow the
fish north until they appear in the waters of
New England.
The United States produces. thirty per cent.
of the grain and thirty per cent. of the meat of
the world.

the South, and will be found a pleasant and
useful compagnon de voyage to all who visit our
"sunny land." We return thanks to our friend
"L. R. T," for the copy before us.
The old "Prairie Farmer" has of late under-
gone a very striking metamorphosis, and now
comes to us as the "Illustrated People's Week-
ly and Prairie Farmer-a Journal for Every-
body." It is a very handsomely printed and
splendidly illustrated sheet of 16 pages-size
of Harper's Weekly-and well filled with ag-
ricultural and miscellaneous reading, at the low
price of $2 per year, in advance. Address
"The Prairie Farmer Publishing Company,"

and purchasers of No. 1 obtain with it a very
beautiful picture, "The Mother's Pet," worth
Sfar more than the cost of the paper. It may
be had at the counter of Ashmead Bro's.

Fast Mail Service.
By reference to schedules, it will be seen that
the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway
continues the fast mail by immediate dispatch
from Savannah by fast train service direct to
Jacksonville, Live Oak, New Branford and
Albany, Ga. The fast mail train leaves Say-


annah at 11:10 a. m., passes Callahan 4:23 p.

As an illustration, of this annihi-
lation of space, the New York newspapers of
Monday are delivered in all of above named
places on Tuesday. We trust all the connec-
tions in Florida of this deservedly popular dis-
patch line will be enabled to take up this fast

Index for "The Dispatch."
MURRAY HILL,"
ORMOND, VOLUSIA COUNTY, FLA.,
November 13, 1882.
Editors of The Florida Di.patch:
Will you kindly inform me, as well as other
readers, if you are going to issue an index at
the end of volume 1 of THE DISPATCH ? If
not, I want to index mine, so would like to
know. We all think that we get more than our
money's worth in THE DISPATCH. I have
mine put up in a home-made binding for first
half of volume and keep the rest on file, and
find it very handy. I am, yours truly,
L. MORETON MURRAY.
REPLY.--We will have index and title page
for THE DISPATCH at end of volume and will
mail it to every subscriber. One is already
prepared as far as published.-EDs.
BiG YIELD.--The Economis-t says: "From
five bushels. of Scuppernong grapes, Father
Hugan, of this city, made 46 gallons of wine;
7 gallons from the pure juice, which he calls
No. 1 ; 22 gallons from the mass, putting in
'.Ou worun or sugur -Una Z Z gailuiu uiP w nt1
which he calls No. 2; and 17 gallons from the
dregs, adding 17 gallons of water and 50 cents
worth of sugar; this is No. 3. Besides this he
made 10 gallons of vinegar."-[Old Father Hu-
gan "stretched his blanket" a little too wide;
We should not like to be obliged to drink much
of the No. 2 and No. 3 "vintages"-to say noth-
ing of the vinegar. From three to five gallons
to the bushel of grapes, is about as much wine
as can reasonably be expected.-EDs.
HOME ADORNMENT.-Nature is active in
adorning her dominions; and man, to whom
this beauty is addressed, should feel and obey
the lesson. Let him, too, be industrious in
adorning his domain-in making his home, the
dwelling of his wife and children, not only con-
venient and comfortable, but pleasant. Let
him, as far as circumstances will permit, be in-
dustrious in surrounding it with pleasant
objects; in decorating it, within and without,
with things that tend to make it agreeable and
attractive. Let industry make home the abode
of neatness and order-a place which brings
satisfaction to every inmate, and which in ab-
sence draws back the heart by the fond associa-
tions of content.
WOULD LIKE TO COME !-A well-known
Chicago publisher writes one of the Editors of
THE DISPATCH, under date of Nov. 10 :
I would start for Florida to-morrow, if I
could sell my business, or arrange it so I could
do so. I dread the coming winter, for I am
very sensitive to cold or bad weather; but I
suppose I must stay and take it-though 1
don't like the prospect a bit."


SUGAR CANE IN ORANGE.-The Reporter
says: Sugar-cane grows luxuriantly in Orange
County, and it is a profitable crop to raise. Our
friend, W. H. Holden, has left a sample cane
in our office that was fifteen feet long, but we
had to cut it off five feet to make room for it.
It had twenty-seven joints, all well formed.
Florida sugar and syrup are superior to any
others made in the Southern States, owing, no
doubt, to our favorable climatic conditions.
-Let us do good, not to receive more good in
return, but as an evidence of gratitude for
what has already been bestowed. In a few
words, let it be "all for love, and nothing for
reward"-Jean Ingelow.


ITEMS FROM THE GULF.

Fertilizers-Fish--Oyster-Shell Lime-Cas-
sava, Etc.
The Levy Enterprise of 10th., has these
items :
Here at Cedar Key, or rather on an out-of-
the-way part of the island, should be established
a fertilizer manufactory, and the man with suf-
ficient enterprise, and a little capital, who goes
into the undertaking may make a fortune.
Here all about the town is the now worse than
waste material, poisoning the air we breathe,
and polluting the waters, which applied to its
appropriate use, would make Florida sand hills
blossom like the rose, and fill our markets with
the vegetable products so scarce and so much
needed.
Add to the compost heap the many barrels
of spoiled fish which are now expensively
buried, to get them out of the way, and the
practical economist sees still greater cause to
mourn.
Oyster shell lime is very much needed by the
agriculturist in the interior of Levy County,
and in spite of the uncounted millions of tons
xfxlG4,1i ly;"& fb T-ip f ty. t.hprp im none
prepared for market, and many tons per annum
are brought to this county from the Atlantic
coast, after the style of bringing coals to
Newcastle."
The markets of Cedar Key seem now to be
pretty well supplied with oranges from down
the coast-ripe enough to eat out of hand. We
put one on the scales the other day which
weighed a full pound. The best average lot
consisting of about 2,000 oranges, came from
the settlement of Hudson, in Hernando Coun-
ty, situated about midway between Bayport and
Anclote. Mr. Hudson presented us with some
samples, which proved of unusual sweetness,
and delicate flavor. One of these is a curiosity,
presenting the appearance as though one-fourth
of the orange had been tut out, and a quarter
of a larger fruit substituted, the suture being
well defined.
As the culture of cassava is one of the grow-
ing industries of Florida, we feel it a duty to
encourage it, and to let our neighbors know
what it will do in Levy.
We called on Mr. R. D. Simmons last Satur-
day morning, and he took us into his garden
and proposed to dig a cassava root for us. The
first one he struck was a monstrous root for one
year's growth. It measured five feet in length
and fifteen inches in circumference at the base,
and weighed twenty pounds. Mr. Simmons
also took up an arrow root that was fifteen
inches long and an inch in diameter.

Look Out for Cold I
One of the Northern weather-prophets pre-
dicts that a cold snap is again probable after
the 21st of the month. About 25th and 26th


heavy rain storms in southern and western-sec-
tions, with rain and snow falls in Northern
United States and Canada. The month will
close with an intensely cold dip and snow
storms through Canada and Northern and Mid-
dle, as well as Western, United States.

ton seed are thoroughly killed, with a sharp
hoe or mattock, cut down vertically through the
layers; pulverize and shovel into a heap, where
the fermentation will be renewed, and the com-
post be still further improved. Let it lie two
weeks after cutting down; it will then be ready
fo f use.
The following plan of mixture gives equally
satisfactory results: Mix the cotton seed and
stable manure inu proper proportion, moisten
them with water, apply the proper proportion
of phosphate and mix thoroughly, shoveling
into a mass as prepared.
There is some advantage in this plan, from
the fact that the ingredients are thoroughly
commingled during the fermentation.
FOR COTTON.-Apply in the opening furrow
200 pounds, and with the planting seed 75 or
100 pounds, making in all 275 or 300 pounds
per acre. If it is desired to apply a larger quan-
tity, open furrows the desired distance, and
over them sow broadcast 400 pounds per acre ;
bed the land and then apply 100 pounds per
acre with the seed.
FOR CORN.-Apply in the hill, by the side
of the seed, one gill to the hill. An additional
application around the stalk, before the first
plowing, will largely increase the yield of grain.
Agricultural Progress of the South.
Additional, although indirect, evidence of
increasing agricultural industry in the South is
afforded by the sales or settlements of public
lands. The total area of the United States is
2,306,297,600 acres. The area of those States
and Territories where Government lands yet
unsold exist, is 1,814,788,922 acres. Of this
last enormous sum, 784,906,980 had been sur-
veyed up to June 30, 1881--leaving more than
a thousand million acres hot yet surveyed. Of
government land the total amount sold for
oabh, taken.up by homestead entries or scrips
or locations of the several legal varieties, dur-
ing the year ended June 30, 1881, was 10,128,-
175i acres, while the total for the year ended
June 30, 1882, has attained the unparalleled
magnitude of 15,599,848 acres. It is impossi-
-ble, says the New Orleans Picayune, to find
fault.with the Government on the score of want
of liberality;' for the aggregate sums realized
by the Government for that magnificent share
in its domain was only $8,351,091, or an aver-
age of less than fifty-three cents per acre. The
greater part of the cash came from cash sales
of 3,699,899 acres of agricultural lands for
$6,877,271. The homestead entries, 6,347,729
acres, brought only $614,149 cash in commis-
sions, and fees.
It is these homestead entries which mark ag-
ricultural progress. In most cases a homestead
pntry means a new farm, another farmer, and
knot her thrifty family in the neighborhood.
The sales of agricultural lands for cash are a
less valuable juindication, because they may
cover a mere design to strip wooded land of its
forest-which is a serious and almost irreme-

South indicated by the census of 1880 is not yet
exhausted. It is probable that the eleventh

whole of the present decade, and before it is

A Sure Preventive for Chicken Cholera.
ZANESVILLE, OHIO.
Several experiments have been made dur-
ing the past five years by different parties for
the purpose of preventing the spread of chicken
cholera by inoculation or vaccination. We
have, during the past two years, vaccinated the
fowls in nineteen different yards where the
cholera was prevailing badly, and in each yard
we left some common fowls not vaccinated and
they all died. But of two thousand vaccinated
only eleven died, although they were in the'
same yard with those not vaccinated that were
all dying by scores. We have every reason to be-
lieve that this chicken vaccination will be as
effective in preventing cholera among fowls as
vaccination is in preventing small pox among
the human family. Vaccinate a hen and in
eight days her system will be thoroughly inoc-
ulated, then cut off her head and catch all the
blood in some vessel, then pour the blood out
on paper and let it dry ; a half drop of this
blood is sufficient to vaccinnate a fowl, and the
blood of one hen will vaccinate your whole
flock. Catch the fowls you wish to vaccinate
and with a pin or knife make a little scratch
on the leg (just enough to draw blood) then
moisten a little piece of the paper with the
dried blood on, and stick it on the chicken's
leg where you scratched it; then let the fowl
run and you need have no fear of chicken chol-
era. As the result of many experiments I have
now dried blood enough I would suppose to
vaccinate ten thousand fowls for which I have
no use as I donot sell patent medicines. If any
of your readers are enough interested in poul-
try to try this preventive, by writing to me I
will send free of charge enough dried blood to
start with. All I ask is that they send early
before the blood loses its strength, and report
the result of their experience to your many
readers.

-TQ THE FLORIDA DISPATCH.


"Where shall I find a place clean enough to
kiss on your sweet, happy, dirty little face, my
pet?" while her fine associates clasped their
kid-gloved hand and said: "How shocking!"
It is only the discomforts of cleanliness this
article deals with. We are not in sympathy
with the man who could wear a clean shirt six
months, nor with the woman who whitewashed
the legs of her hens, nor with people who can
eat off of soiled napery, but a constant brush-
ing away of infinitesimal dust, of scrubbing
human strength and heart and hope into insen-
sate boards, is foolish beyond measure, for life
is worth too much to be frittered away in such
a fashion.


"Unco"-Cleanliness.
If any of our readers have ever had the
misfortune to be compelled to remain for any
length of time under the same roof with a
woman "prossessed of a neat devil," they can
fully understand the following from the Detroit
Post and Tribune:
There was a woman who had such a mania
for being clean that she scrubbed her floor
every day until she finally scrubbed through
into the cellar and was heard of no more, and
the writer of this recalls a mother who was the
direct cause of the death of an only and be-
loved child because she persisted in having his
room cleaned, before he had fully recovered
from an attack of diptheria. It is usually the
households who have the most need of comfort
who are afflicted with the cleaning mania.
The woman who makes the husband leave his
boots at the door so that he will not make
tracks on her clean floor, or compels her boy
to walk on stilts for the same reason, is a posi-
tive affliction. A writer on beauty in the
household says: "Wiser mothers leave their
households to a certain confusion while they
choose the better part and make themselves the
companions of their children the careful guar-
dians of their health, manners, minds and mor-
als." Some housekeepers are perpetually dust-
ing and sweeping. An old humorist called one
day at one of these houses. He was met as
usual by the wife, sweeping as if her life de-
pended on it. He looked at the heap of dust,
then at the woman, and his eyes twinkled as he
said: "Why, you must be the cleanest woman
in the world. My wife might sweep a week
and she would not get such a pile of dust as
that !" There are ladies who, in their own
houses, will move a book which a visitor has
been looking at and restore t to its former po-
sition, unconscious that their rudeness is a vio-
lation of the laws of hospitality. A nervous
man who was calling on a lady was astonished
and alarmed to see her spring from chair, run
half up the wall and catch a fly which was per-
ambulating there, "I spent the whole fore-
noon," she exclaimed, "in getting every fly out
of the house. That one must have come in
when you did !"
It is desirable to be kept in a chronic state
of dampness and soap with the constant injunc-
tion not to stop here or there, do this or that.
It would be preferable to sit down. in the dust
of ages in peace and comfort to tip-toeing
through life on newly washed floors. Cleanli-
ness is often an over-rated virtue when it mo-
nopolizes some of the best hours of life and
makes everybody uncomfortable. The little
Prince Imperial of France used to cry because
he was dressed up so fine he couldn't go out and
make mud pies with the little canaille in the
happy freedom of the streets. We recall a
young mother who, rich, wealthy and beauti-
fuil, picked up her rosy, romping child from
among his playmates, and holding him in her
arms, encased in rich silk, said laughingly,


special types, whether dumb or shaking, what-
ever may be its pathology, or nature, or origin,
is due as an existing evil here to decomposition
or exhalation and all the morbific and malefic
influences engendered about marshy or wet re-
gions and impure water beds. The best author-
ities are not sure, or agreed, on the question,
whether the disease is indigenous or imported,
or on the question why it is brought into activ-
ity at one time rather than another. They
generally concur in the opinion, on both sides
of the Atlantic, that it germinates or sprouts in
the human body from very minute spores, meas-
uring perhaps 3,000 to an inch. But how these
seeds are transported about, or what the condi-
tions of receptivity and susceptibility are under
which they are developed, nobody can yet tell.
There is evidence that sporadic cases occur in
dry, upland regions, but the disorder loves


THE RIGHT THING TO Do.-An example
worthy of imitation is thus recorded by the
Dawson (Ga.) Journal: "We presented a
small account of three dollars to a good citizen
in our county a few days ago, and he answered
that he had no money. Knowing him to be
perfectly good and reliable, while we very much
needed the money, we said nothing more about
it. A few minutes after we left the gentleman,
he said he got to thinking about the matter and
began to count up his little accounts around
town, and he felt like he was not doing right
to be holding his cotton in the warehouse when
he was owing money to men who needed it
probably worse than he did. He went straight-
way and sold a bale of cotton and paid up his
accounts.

Lateness of Frost this Season.
The New York Herald, discussing season,
weather, '&c., says: "The progress of the
season, judged by the extension of the frost
belt southward, is remarkably slow. In Octo-
ber of last year "killing frosts" visited New
England as early as the 5th of the month, caus-
ing great destruction of the crops, and on the
6th extended to Virginia, North and South
Carolina and Tennessee, with very disastrous
effects to tobacco and fruit crops. During the
present month, except in the Northwest, no kill-
ing frosts have been reported, and those which
have occurred fell mostly after the 16th inst.,
north and west of the Ohio Valley. The only
very severe frosts so far reported this month
have been those of the 19th inst. in Wisconsin,
unless we go further north and into the West-
ern plateau regions. The exceptional immu-
nity which the tobacco and cotton growers have
enjoyed from frost this fall will no doubt ena-
ble them, as it will farmers generally, to make
the most of the growing season and considera-
bly enlarge their crop profits. The lateness of
the present season's frosts is already almost as
noteworthy as was that of the autumn of 1877,
when the Signal Service reported that no frost
occurred during October at Lynchburg; few
if any killing frosts in this State or Ohio, and
in some parts of New England the color of
autumn foliage was late in turning. This was
a very late autumn and was followed by a mild
winter; whereas the fall of 1876 carried its
killing frosts, with ice, as far south as Georgia
and Alabama by October 16th, and damaged
the tobacco crops in Virginia still earlier in
the same month, and was followed by a cold
winter. The first frosts of October, 1878, in
the cotton States were reported by the Signal
Service as early as the 19th, and the ensuing
winter was generally severe. In 1875, 1879
and 1880, the mean date at which autumnal
frosts injurious to vegetation reached the cotton
and tobacco districts of the South was October
19th. It will be seen from these data, there-
fore, that the country has so far escaped this
fall from the usual severe visitations of frost in
the Central, Eastern and Southern sections.
Although a delay of these visitations is not al-
ways followed by a mild winter, and early
heavy autumn frosts do not always indicate a
cold winter, the period of their first occurrence
is rightly held to be significant and of some
predictive value. Judging by this test we may
hope to escape a winter of intense rigor.

The March of Malaria.
The recent reports of the commissions and
scientific bodies, like the Board of Health, giv-
ing the results of careful and extended inves-
tigations, notably the papers of Dr. Chamber-
lain, of Hartford, and Dr. Adams, of Pitts-
field, though marked by the habitual caution
in generalization and inference which charac-
terizes the scientific mind, make it plain to
common sense that the fever, in its several

marshes, clings to artificial lakes or ponds,
riots by the banks of sunken streams and works
its burning and shivering damage most ma-
lignantly where the normal mutual relations
between soil, vegetable matter and stagnant or
moving water have been unsettled. Mention
is made of some compact rural populations
near foul mill ponds, where half the inhabi-
tants have been down at once. Speculation as
to causes, as might be expected, has been busy.
What causes of malaria exist now which were
non-existent, or in abeyance, so long prior to
this late day ? Not only is science shy of hasty
conclusions, but property, too, has its self-pre-
serving instincts, and the mill owners and man-
ufacturers are not unwilling to have a part, at
least, of the curse rest on other shoulders than
their own. What then arethe new conditions ?
Railroads and tobacco culture are two. The
railways are apt to open the surface on low
ground, and if there were enough of them it
might happen that an unwholesome- gas escap-
ing would affect the workmen, as it is said the
upturning of acres of old sod on building lots
affects the health of the people in the upper
part of the Island of New York. But there
are altogether too many railways where there
are no chills and too many chills where there
are no railways, to allow much plausibility to
this theory. It fails twice over. Much of the
same may be said of the tobacco fields. The
idea that the sickness comes of fertilizers used
for tobacco raising has even less support, for
that nuisance is of but a very brief annual con-
tinuance, and is far from being conterminous
with the malady. So far as the great forces of
nature are concerned, not much can be done in
the way of remedy. If, as there is some reason
to think, there is a constant shrinkage going on
in rivers, fountains, brooks and lakes, with a
diminished rainfall throughout this part of the
country, all we can do about that is to employ
every personal effort to remove or deodorize the
stench breeding and fever breeding matter
along the banks and to increase our forests by
planting or protection, as many thoughtful
land owners are now doing and as the late for-
estry convention in Montreal leads us to hope
may be done more and more. There are thous-
ands of citizens who, with only a moderate out-
lay, can stanch, on their own premises at least,
the offensive sources of pain and death-for,
though not regarded as ordinarily fatal, fever
and ague sometimes takes a congestive form or
otherwise overmasters the vital power, in spite
of the best treatment, and the patient dies.
Dwellers in bad climates study the laws of san-
itary safety and heed them. Out of door
night air can, to a great extent, be avoided.
Fires can be built evening and morning. The
human system can be kept free, vigorous and
protected by right living, temperance and flan-
nels. Some physiologists think a fine wire
gauze at open windows may keep out the spores.
A line of thick trees with underbrush has been
supposed to arrest them. There is plenty of
proof that good drainage counteracts this as it
does other kinds of sickness.-Boston Herald.





THE FLORIDA DISPATCH. 5-


The first appearance of cotton as an article
of commerce was a shipment of seven bales
from Charleston in 1757. In 1880-'81 the crop
was 6,600,000 bales.
A gallon of milk is said to have a food value
equal to two pounds of beef. But farmers at
the North sell milk for ten or twelve cents a
gallon, and buy beef at twenty-five and thirty
cents per pound.

Ashes should never be thrown upon manure
heaps nor mixed with any kind of manure, as
the caustic potash liberates the ammonia, which
is very difficult to save. Therefore, spread
ashes immediately upon the land, whether grass
or cultivated.
Many farmers injure their farm implements
more by exposure to the weather than by use
on the farm. An implement which with good
care would last twenty years will, when ex-
posed to the weather, become useless in five
years or even less. A farm cart which, with
good usage, would last almost a lifetime, will

THE ORANGE PROSPECT.-Our advices from
the Northern market in regard to oranges are
"that the orange crop is short in the European
countries as well as in the West Indies; that
the apple crop is short in the Northern States,
and that we may confidently look for better
prices this year than last." This report is en-
couraging, especially as it is thus far backed
up by actual returns for fruit forwarded, and
we hope the present short crop may bring nearly
the same amount of money that last year's
crop did. One thing, however, adds greatly to
the selling value of our fruit and vegetables,
and that is having neat and attractive shipping
packages, for it is a well-known fact that the
appearance of the boxes and the manner of
packing the fruit has almost as much to do
with its sale as the fruit itself. The eye needs
to be pleased as well as the taste in all produc-
tions that are not strictly indispensable. In "old
times," or at the start in orange and vegetable
growing it was next to impossible to produce
suitable boxes, as none were brought here and
none manufactured at home; but at the present
time there can be no such excuse to offer as the
supply of first-class box stuff is ample and
cheap, and the grower who attempts to ship his
fruit in bulk or home-made crates, makes a
mistake.-Putnam County Journal.




COMPOTE OF ORANGES.-Pare. the rind of
three oranges as thinly as possible, and set it on
one side; divide the fruit into halves, remove
the pithy cord which is in the centre, and cut


off the rind and pith in strips down to the quick.
leaving the halves of the oranges transparently
bare; dish them up in a high compote glass.
Throw the rind, cut off first of all, into four
ounces of sugar, boiled with a gill of water for
five minutes. Strain this syrup into a basin,
add a small glass of brandy, pour over the com-
pote and serve.
QUAIL ON ToAST.-Dry-pick them, singe
them with paper, cut off heads and legs at first
joint, draw, split down the back, soak in salt
and water for five or ten minutes, drain and
dry with a cloth, lard them with bacon or but-
ter, and rub salt over them, place on boiler and
turn after dipping two or three times into


melted butter; broil about twenty minutes.
Have ready as many slices of buttered toast as
there are birds, and serve a bird, breast up-
ward, on each slice.
CREAM OYSTERS.-Fifty shell oysters, one
quart of sweet cream, butter, salt and pepper
to taste. Put the cream and oysters in their
own liquor, and let them come to a boil; when
sufficiently cooked, skim; then take them out
the liquor and put into some dish to keep
warm. Put the cream and liquor together.
Season to taste and thicken with powdered
cracker. When thick, stir in the oysters.
STEAMED FIsH.-Place tail of fish in its
own mouth and secure it, lay on plate, pour
over it a half pint of vinegar seasoned with
pepper and salt; let stand an hour in the re-
frigerator, then pour off the vinegar, and put
in a steamer over boiling water; steam twenty
minutes, or longer if the fish is very large,
(when done the meat easily parts from the
bone); drain well and serve on a napkin gar-
nished with curled parsley.
TTHw TO PLTTCK POULTRY.-I have known
persons on market day to go out and kill twelve
or fifteen fowls and to bring them into a room
where there would be half a dozen women and
boys pulling a few feathers at a time between
their thumb and forefinger, to prevent tearing
them. Now for the benefit of such I will give
our plan: Hang the fowl by the feet by a
small cord; then with a small knife give one
cut across the upper jaw, opposite the corners
of the mouth. After the blood has stopped
running a stream, place the point of the knife
in the groove in the upper part of the mouth,
run the blade up into the back part of the
head, which will cause a twitching of the
muscles. Now is your time, for every feather
yields as if by magic, and there is no danger of
tearing the most tender chick. Before he at-
tempts to flap you can have him as bare as the
day he came out of the egg.-Journal of Horti-
culture.
SALTPETRE FOR GARBAGE WORMS.-A. B.
Howard, of Massachusetts, says: "A friend of
ours, who grows cabbages extensively for mar-
ket, has found that saltpetre dissolved at the
rate of one and a half to two ounces to a gallon
of water, and applied with a sprinkler, will
completely banish the European cabbage worm.
It has proved not only a sure cure for this nui-
sance, but a special fertilizer in stimulating an
increased growth of plant.
DENTIFRICE.-Honey mixed with pure pul-


verized charcoal is said to be excellent to
cleanse the teeth and make them white. Lime-
stone water is very good to be occasionally
used by those who have defective teeth or an
offensive breath.
What waste, what misery, what bankruptcy,
come from all this ambition to dazzle others
with the glare of apparent worldly success, we
need not describe. The mischievous results
show themselves in a thousand ways-in the
rank frauds committed by men who dare to be
dishQnest, but do not dare to seem poor; and
in the desperate dashes at fortune, in which the
pity is not so much for those who fail, as for the
hundreds of innocent families who are so often
involved in their ruin.-Samuel nSiles.


PINCHING BACK SQUASHEs.-The report of
the Ohio State Horticultural Society quotes an
experiment in pinching back the main shoots of
squashes and melons. One squash plant sent out
a single stem reaching over 40 feet, but did not
bear any fruit. Another was pinched back,
producing many side-shoots within eight feet,
and it bore sixteen squashes. A muskmelon
plant, kept thus within bounds, had twenty-
three melons. The narrator estimates the gain
by pinching to amount to 100 barrels on an
acre. The cases mentioned, if correctly re-
ported, were obviously extreme ones, but the
experiment is well worth repeating.
We must distinguish between felicity and
prosperity; for prosperity leads often to ambi-
tion, and ambition to disappointment.-Lan-
dor.

Splendid Citrus Fruits.
Rev. LYMAN PHELPS, of Sanford, sends us
from his own grove, "Lake Onora," and also
from the celebrated "Belair" grove, of Gen.
Sanford, a very fine and rare collection of cityrs
fruits, among which the following oranges, &c.,
are worthy of special mention : Maltese Oval,
Navel, Sweet Seville, Italian, Mandarin, Du
Roi, Canton Pomelo, Limonium Longifolium,
and other choice Lemons, etc., etc.
All these specimens, are fine, and some sur-
passingly so.. The Canton Pomelo strikingly
resembles, or is identical with the so-called
"Pink Shaddock." One of these specimens
measured twenty-one inches in circumference,
and had, somewhat the flavor of a ripe black-
berry. The oranges were not fully ripe, and
therefore not in fair testing condition, but
many were of very superior quality, and all
showed skillful culture and careful packing. Mr.
Phelps says the Pamelo "grew on sand as white
as ever seen in Florida," and that "the ground
has not been spoiled by muck--has simply had
Forester's Fertilizers."
In regard to varieties of the orange, &c.,
Mr. Phelps remarks: "I am sure there are
varieties of the orange we have not yet ob-
tained, that are superior to any we now have
in 'Florida.' You spok
about varieties, and the danger of having too
many. In time they will be weeded down to
only a few. None of the varieties have been
cultivated long enough for us to say positively
which are best adapted to our wants."
We return our best thanks to Mr. Phelps for
his thoughtful kindness, and hope to see some
of the fine and rare products of "Belair" and
"Lake Onora" at our coming State Fair.
Mr. S, H. BACON, of San Mateo, will also
please receive our thanks for a really splendid
specimen of the Navel orange, weighing
twenty-seven ounces. "Next ?"

Orange County Fair.
. The Orange County Fair Association holds
its Fifth Annual Fair at Sanford from the 21st
to the 24th of February next. We have re-
ceived the Fair Bulletin and Premium List,
and find the latter quite full and cominprehen-
sive. Among the fruits for which prizes are
offered, we notice the Pine-apple, Date, Ban-
ana, Avocado Pear, Sugar Apple, Custard Ap-
ple, Paw-paw, Sapodilla, Japan Persimmon,
etc., etc. The arrangements for the Fair are
evidently in the hands of men who understand


their business, and we wish the Association the
most. abundant success. The Corresponding
Secretary, D. L. WAY, Esq., has our thanks
for complimentary tickets.

WE call especial attention of our readers to
the advertisement of the Honey Moon Nurse-
ries, in this issue of THE DISPATCH. The pro-
prietor, Col. L. A. HIardee, is the Pioneer nur-
seryman of Florida, and has undoubtedly the
largest nursery in the South, comprising, as it
does, one hundred acres. He grows all the im-
portaIt varieties of the orange and other semi-
tropical fruit trees, plants, etc. As an old
friend of the publishers, we recommend him
to those desiring nu-rsery stock.

ularly pointed as those of a Spangled Hamburg
or Sebright Bantam. But we have one very
superior young cockerel, carrying a pea-comb
as marked and distinct as a Light Brahma.
Now, we respectfully ask our Northern fan-
ciers how we are to classify these unique and
beautiful fowls? They are too large and fine
to go into even the "Improved American Domi-
nique" class, ,and seem to possess all the good
"points" of the Plymouth Rock, with the added
beauty of the rose-and-pea-combs. We will
gladly give all of them we can obtain a "local
habitation," if our brethren of the Poultry Press
will furnish "a name."

vertisement.


Plymouth Rocks-"Pea Combs" and "Rose
Combs."
In Stoddard's able and interesting work 9n
"Plymouth Rocks," (elsewhere. noticed), we
find the following suggestive passages-p. 25:
"The experiment of attaching a pea comb
instead of a single one has been, we believe,
tried in several instances with more or less suc-
cess, and quite recently a breeder advertised
Pea-combed Plymouth Rocks under the title
of 're-improved.' We have been unable, how-
ever, to obtain any reply to our inquiries as to
how the pea-comb was obtained, and whether it
is firmly fixed as a characteristic.
"Whatever the success or failure of the ex-
periment in this particular case, the desirability
of a race of pea-combed Plymouth Rocks is so
evident that we may expect, in a very few
years, a number of strains of the variety."
It will be seen, by reference to our paper of
last week, that the expectations of Mr. Stod-
dard have been fully realized. Mr. Seth
Rowley, Sr., of Mound City, Kansas, has suc-
ceeded, after experimenting several years, in
producing a breed of Rose-combed .Plymouth
Rocks, which were briefly described on. page
532, DISPATCH, November 13th, thus:
"We have Dominique fowls from the yard of
Col. Rowley, which are equal in size, form, uni-
formity of color, &c., to the very best Ply-
mouth Rocks-differing from these;only in
having double or-rose-combs, and a lighter cql-
ored plumage. Col. Rowley is an old and very
skillful breeder of fowls, and has produced
some of the finest we have ever seen."
We used the word "Dominique" in speaking
of the Rowley fowls, because we found the word
thus applied in Harker's Poultry Bulletin ;
but these Kansas Dominiques (?) are as far
superior in size, to the ordinary "Standard
American Dominiques" as these latter are to
the Hamburgs and Leghorns. Col. Rowley
sent us last fall, a rose-combed cock and two
hens of his improved breed,, and, in the same
cage, two Plymouth Rock hens of excellent
quality. The rose-combed cock, in fair order,
weighed ten pounds and eight otnces,(10lbs. 8oz.)
and the hens, each between seven and. eight
pounds-weights, we think, too great for profit.
The rose-combed fowls were superior in nearly
all desirable "points" to their companions, (the
Plymouth Rocks,) and their progeny has stis-
tained this superiority-the cocks, especially,
being far handsomer and finer than any of the
single-combed Plymouth Rocks we have ever
raised. Most of the young cocks (Rowley
strain) have high rose-combs, extending far
back from the crown, and as beautifully and reg-

Nansemond Potatoes for the North.
We have never succeeded in raising a satis-
factory crop of the Nansemond sweet potato in
Florida, but some of our neighbors, it appears,
have been more fortunate. The South Florida
Journal says: "Mr. J. W. Wellington has
been experimenting with the Nansemond sweet
potato, and has been so successful that he has a
large crop of them this year. After testing
their quality we do not hesitate in pronouncing
them the best potato in size, color and flavor
that comes to this market."
And John Simons, the well-known commis-
sion merchant, touching the glut of sweet pota-
toes in the Georgia markets, said to an Atlanta
Constitution reporter: "The trouble is they have
not planted the potatoes that will sell in the
Western markets. Our Georgia yam, while it is
the sweetest and best potato I know of, will not
ship well or sell well. What they want is the
Jersey potato, something like our Spanish po-
tato. It is white, (?) mealy and dry, resembling
the Irish potato in these points.. This potato is
a standard article in the Northwest and always
in demand. I have seen them sell at $5 to $7
a barrel in the Western cities.
Will it grow well in Georgia?"
"Yes. Commissioner Henderson has tried
it and so has Mark Johnson. It thrives well.
here and ships well, and sells high and steadi-
ly. It does not.produce as heavily as our
yams, but it ripens a month sooner, and thus
brings more money. In your article on pota-
toes some time since you warned the public
that the ordinary Georgia yam would not sell
well in the great cities. That is so. I have
tried it faithfully. This potato is what we
need."
"Savannah Guano Company."
A noticeable and very important feature in
the mode of putting their fertilizer before the
public, has been adopted by the Savannah
Guano Company," whose advertisement ap-
pears in present number. It will be observed
that each sack put upon the market bears the
tag of the Fertilizer Inspector appointed by the
State of Georgia-thus furnishing the customer
with some criterion of the contents and manu-
rial value. We commend to our Florida law-
makers this laudable attempt of a sister State,
to protect the interests of the agricultural com-
munity; and we suggest to our experimental
friends one trial, at least, of this guaranteed
fertilizer.
"Champion" of Florida.
The "North and South," one of the most
valued of our new exchanges, kindly says :


Florida has been fortunate in the possess-
ion of numerous champions, who have heralded
her resources to all parts of the world, but in
none has she found an abler one than in the
FLORIDA DISPATCH, published at Jacksonville
by Ashmead Bro's. THE DISPATCH is a hand-
some sixteen-page paper, published weekly, at
$1.00 a year."
The North and South" is a very neat
monthly, somewhat on the plan of the old
" Florida New- Yorker." It is devoted to Im-
migration, and the Agricultural, Manufacturing
and Industrial Resources of the South ;" and
is published at 191 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y., at
the very low price of 60 cents per year. Send

BRADLEY'S ORANGE
We have prepared this Fertilizer
especially for the culture of the or-
ange tree, and from the results al-
ready obtained from its use on the
orange groves of Florida, we feel
justified in claiming that it cannot
be surpassed, if equalled, by any
other fertilizer.
It is composed of the purest and
highest grade materials, combined
in such proportions as to furnish all
the elements of plant-food in prop-
er quantities and in the best form
to promote a rapid and strong
growth of the wood and insure an
abundant yield of fine fruit.
A sufficient proportion of its -
phosphoric acid, being readily sol-
uble in cold water, is immediately
,available as food for the young
rootlets of the tree, while a consid-
erable portion, being present in the
form of pure ground bone, undis-
solved by acid, becomes entirely
soluble iii the soil only by the ac-
tion of the elements of nature in
due course of time. Thus this all
important food is not soon ex-
hausted by the tree, or washed into
the ground by heavy rains, but is
supplied in abundant quantities


TREE


FERTILIZER.
throughout the season.
The nitrogen and potash also are
furnished in the most nutritious
forms and approved proportions
for this crop.
After giving this Fertilizer a
thorough trial of three years on or-
ange trees in Florida, we intro-
duced it last season quite exten-
sively throughout the State, and
the results have even exceeded our
most sanguine expectations. We
have yet to hear of a single instance
where the mostsatisfactory returns
have not been derived.
We have nothing to say about the
fertilizers manufactured or sold by
other parties, as we believe, with an
established reputation of twenty-
two years in the manufacture of
high grade fertilizers, we can stand
upon our own footing, without call-
ing the attention of the public to
the record of any of our competi-
tors, or to the value of their manu-
factures as compared with that of
our own. Our fertilizers are all an-
alyzed, when manufactured, by
competent chemists, and none are
shipped to market until they are
known to be up to the standard.


Manufacturers of the Celebrated


the Standard Fertilizer for all Field and Garden Crops, and especially adapted to the wants of the
Cotton Crop.

THE FLORIDA DISPATCH.


FOR SALE.
AN IMPROVED PLACE on the south side of Lake
Harris, in Sumter County, Fla., about a mile from Ya-
laha. It contains 225 acres of the finest, first-class high
hammock, about 50 acres cleared. There are two bold,
never-failing brooks -running through the place, from
which an unlimited supply of water can be had, mak-
ing the raising of vegetables a certainty. The place has
Smile lake front; the residence is a large, Southern
style house-six large rooms, store-room and kitchen at-
tached ; there are 500 old orange trees from 7 to 10 years
old, budded with choice varieties; also, 700 trees from 4
to 6 years old; lime and lemon trees in bearing. There
is on the place, probably, the finest guava grove in
South Florida. The estimated yield in 1881 was 500 bush-
els. This property is one of the most valuable and in-
viting tracts of land in this State. The quality of the
soil, besides growing orange trees, will make it, with the
advantages of Irrigation, and remarkable protection
from frost peculiarly profitable for vegetable growing.
It can be divided into 3 tracts sufficiently large for every
purpose. Daily communication at Yalaha by mail boat
connecting with St. Johns and Lake Eustis Railway.
Only the non-residence of the owner induces its sale.
Price, $15,000. Terms easy. Address
