A Florist Tells how to do it Without Soil g9

A 'St/? otii florist 'says':. Probably more

ground of fern or smilax, neither of whieo.lis

that spiked flower .that looks like jessamine,
never stain. Any o'r all' of these, placed on
smilax, for instance, the ends wrapped in tin-
foil, could ,i. worn with safety, though .a soft
handkerchief might p'be playedd' "beneath fort
protection. If the spraysahould .be. it' all

awhile will soon absorb the moisture. Corsage
'bouquets are placed with 'tli'.. pint, down.
SWith'a little care those flowers could be worn!

Who had been presented boxes' 6fthe;most ex-

"Why don't you, introduce the"'European
custom of using bright 'ol6red' flowers for

S"We are trying to. New York.ha alvady

who approve of it so far. The practice 6of
sending flowers to funerals is mu.c imivreased.
The pieces don't cost 'a fitiucl'ithey .i0ed to,
Which probably accounts for it."

amount of.waste permitted in our English
households, Ie.sd,a recipe :in use in my own
hbuse, where-we seldom 'buy meat on purpose
for soup more than once a week, although we
edt it every day. 'Have the bones of any freshly
roasted meat-beef, veal, pork, venison, mutton
or lamb-broken up into 1rgish pieces. he

while matton aii a iamb are better alone. Add

THE WOES OF COTTON PLANTERS.--Just
about the time the farmer begins to get his cot-
ton crop into market that he has toiled so hard
"tb make, paying exhorbitant prices and meat
and money to make it with, it begins to tum-
ble in price. .It must go, however-no help
for it., The poorer, the man the more surely it
must go, and prices drop, drop, 4(-op down, un-
til all the poor man's cotton is gone, and it gets
into the hands of the speculator and then it
goes up. This is indeed disheartening; but
how can it be avoided ? There is no way to
avoid it unless the strong will help the weak,
that is, unless the well-to-do farmer will have
some sympathy with his poorer bother and the
farming' cla* will combine, the rich giving
credit to the poor, so as to enable them to get
supplies at living rates. Nothing can be done
for the shiftless, the indolent, or the drunkard,
but a great deal can be done for the indus-
trious, the energetic, the economical. The farm-
'rs must, be united; it is more necessary for
them than for any other class. They must
workk together and help each other. Combina-
tion is the only thing that will benefit them.
If such a state of affairs were brought' about,
tihy would sopn become perfectly independent
as aclas.-- West Point (Miss.) Farm and Stock

dirTs of he F4nfda Dispatch :
WiJu you, through the columns of THE
FLORIDA DISPATCH, please give me some in-
formation relative to the propagation and cul-


you will starve to death. I said, "I won't," and
ain't dead yet. I didn't try the hogs-had
enough of them from my neighbors.. As to
smothering-that can't be done.
A piece of heavy palmetto land that I have
had cleared this fall was so dense and thick
that it was almost impossible for any one to go
through it, and nothing that I could see, ex-
cept a few wild grape vines, grew out of it, but
in about a month after grubbing it, I was pleased
to see a beautiful crop of Nut Grass spring up
all over it very rankly. I say pleased, advis-
edly, for in working my grove I have come to
the conclusion that it is a very good thing to
have in an orange grove. It looks badly, anid
makes one cultivate often, which, on my land,
seems to be necessary, and at each working*


not at all repulsive 'to them. A neighbor
ence scattered ashes close about the trees, and
coming in contact with bark at the dollar, for
.the benefit of his grove as he supposed, but
the result was a vigorous attack and a great
deal of daniage done to trees thus treated.
Both sweet and sour are alike affected; but in
my own 6kperience sweet stock has been the
.most eaten'. In a grove of 400 trees set
promiscuously to sweet and sour stocks, of
which no fewer than twenty-five have been
eaten, and this to, with but four exceptions,
'his been done to sweet trees. In the case of
the neighbor above referred to, the stock were
..There is.but one way of "coming up" with
tLiese ravages, that by keeping constant watch
of every tree in thi grove, and their presence
will be easily detected. The ,sap oozing from
the wound cakes or forms a oaeust, of earth
about the collar of the tree. They; commence
work just below the surface, working down,
destroying and barking the main stem and
rdots, perforating and destroying the tap roots,
which causes the tree to droop. Leaves turn
yellow, and finally, unless early found, and
a good opportunity for resuscitation, die. To
destroy the ants the earth should be entirely
removed from the affected parts; dust liBerally
with pyrethrum-a small powder gun will be
found most convenient for dusting. The
extreme nakedness of the ant renders the
application very effective, and their distorted
forms will soon be seen after the application
has been made.
CALIFORNIA PEACHES.-The Riverside
(Cal,) Press says: Heretofore we have been
compelled to allow other localities to publish
reports of the largest peaches, but now James
Bettner brings to this office fourteen Salway
peaches that weigh 10 pounds 11 ounces-an
average weight of 121 ounces. The largest
peach in the lot weighed 14f ounces. These
were the finest lot of large peaches ever
brought to this office, and we think we may
challenge the coast to produce their equal.


ture of the Cassava root; and, also, if it is a
paying crop ? and oblige, yours truly, L.
REPLY.-The Cassava is propagated, like
sugar-cane, by pieces of the stem. It is sup-
posed to grow best on land of moderate fer-
tility; but the finest crop we ever raised, was
on rich land, well manured. There is something
of a "boom" on Cassava, at the new town oj
Taveres, in Orange County, where a mill has
been, or is soon to be erected for converting the
root into starch. It is said to pay well to raise
it for that purpose.-EDs.

"W.R. Fulford pranced into our sanctum
the other day, bringing a huge cassava root.
It was seven inches in circumference and
weighed 51 pounds.
"It was grown by Mr. Fulford without any
extra care, and shows what can be done in
Suwannee. Can it be beat anywhere in the
State ?'--Live Oak Bulletin.
Compared with the specimens of cdssava
grown here the above is small. We saw at
Sinclair's starch mill a root eleven feet long,
seven inches in diameter; and which weighed
over fifty pounds. It grew on the Mathes
place, south of Lake Maitland. It is no un-
usual thing to grow roots weighing twenty
pounds without fertilizer. Still as a profitable
crop to use on the farm, roots the size of that
grown by Mr. Fulford are preferable to larger
ones.- Tavares Herald.
Nut Grass-Again.
GEORGETOWN, FLORIDA, 1882.
Editors of The Florida Dispatch :
I see in THE FLORIDA DISPATCH, of No-
vember 13th, an article on "Nut Grass-to De-
stroy," which, after all, does not tell how to do
it.
I bought my place six years ago this month.
It was an old field, and I knew nothing of the
existence of Nut Grass. But one fine morning,
late in the following spring, I saw something
growing up All over my newly-ploughed and
planted grove; it was about as even, and as
thrify as a good field of newly-sprouted wheat,
and on my enquiring what it was, got a good
deal laughed at by those who knew all about
it, and thought. when I bought I was badly
sold. Much advice, too, I got with the laugh-
ter. "Take up your land and sift it" said one.
Another, "get a lot of hogs and root it all out"-
they had been doing that for several years pre-
viously-until the land was all hills and pits.
"Plant cow peas, and smother it out," said a
third, while one old man from Georgia very
confidentially told me he had a plan whereby
I could certainly get rid of it. It was this :
"Run away from your land, for if you don't,


BARRELS, NOT HOGSHEADs.-The Louisiana
Sugar Bowl, says :"We give precedence to
sugaE* barrels, for rapidly the antiquated hogs-
head is being disposed of by the neater barrel
package. Those who make clarified sugars
employ more and more barrels annually, to
supply the increasing demand, and sugars so
shipped usually bring from a half cent to a cent
more per pound.


there is a good deal of vegetable matter to work
into the land. I am sure that my land is much
improved in quality since I bought it-not
from bought fertilizer, but from the Nut Grass
I have hoed and cultivated into the land.
I notice that when, ,and where the grass
grows rank, the trees do well; and when, by.
neglect to the land the grass begins to cease to
grow,*om looks yellowv and small, the trees be-
gin to go back on me.' To gardeners and farm-
ers it is undoubtedly a nuisance, but let no
man who has it in his orange grove be discour-
aged thereby. After working it in and observ-
ing the' effect on his land and trees, he will
surely ask as I do, what do you want to destroy
it for?
I have another piece of land where my nurs-
ery is, which is entirely free from it, and I am
glad of it, but were I intending to plant a grove
on it, I would/as soon as possible, sow it thor-
oughly in Nut Grass. AARON WARR.
The Farmer.
In his address, at the opening of the Wiscon-
sin State Fair, Governor Rusk said: "Agricul-
ture is the foundation of the business and pros-
perity of the whole country. When the toil of
the farmer is utterly lost; when, after planting
and tending and waiting, the harvest time
brings no harvest to him, every industry and
every interest instantly feels it. How com-
pletely a series of crop failures, or even of short
crops, paralizes the business of the country! So
a series of good crops stimulates every business
and revives every dx.ooping industry. The
railroad lines lengthen, the rolling mills are
busy, the iron mines, the saw-mill, the lumber
camp are all scenes of activity, and every in-
strument of commerce is in use. The hum of
the machinery is the natural accompaniment to
the songs of the harvest field. The daily pub-
lished telegram from the money centre of the
world is an unconscious daily tribute to agri-
culture and the farmer as the prime factor in
commerce. They note and chronicle every frost,
every rain, every hostile insect, as carefully as
the physician does the symptoms of his patient.
Stocks go up and down with the varying re-
orts as to the wheat and corn. The Wall
street gambler who never heard the meadow-
lark in the fields, reads with an eager interest
the news from the grain fields, as one fear-
ing for a friend would read the casualties of
a battle. But such tribute is temporary and
compulsory. It springs from selfishness mostly,
and the crop assured, indifference to agricul-
ture proclaims itself too often in an undue levy
upon the crop for carriage and in other ways,
which I have not time lo0",enition: With the
growth of the country, increased irbsperity anid
multiplied and sileridid educational facilities,
our colleges, universities, academies and other
institutions of learning are filled up with ambi-

A Challenge Accepted.
A writer in THE DISPATCH gives notice that
Levy County will contend for the premiums at
the Fair in February, by an exhibition of
"oranges, Bijou lemons. Japan plums, straw-
berries, corn and Guinea corn ; potatoes, sweet
an Irish; rice, field peas, syrup, honey, long
cotton, jute fibre and plant, hay, iron and ore,
valuable woods, etc." Sumter County hereby
notifies Levy that there will be a little compe-
tition in some of those premiums. Sumter don't
like the shot-gun plan of a general scatteration
and a universal summing-up, but will come to
the front with a few staples, and. Levy will do
well to look to her laurels.-Leesburg News.
THE DISPATCH knows if Sumter competes,
other counties will have to exert themselves,
and wehope Orange, Volusia, Hernando, Hills-
borough, Monroe and the other counties, will
not overlook this challenge. Let us hear from
you. We should also be gild to welcome Leon,
Jefferson, Gadsden and Madison, and would be


delighted to see one of them take the premium.
Counties, now is the time to show what your
section can do, and another such opportunity
for attracting settlers and capital to your State
and section may not occur again.
If rumor speaks true, California intends send-
ing some of her Citrus fruits 4o our Fair, and
it behooves us to take care of our laurels.
Cannot Louisiana send enough fine oranges
to compete, also ?

FOR quick time in the shipment of oranges
made between Jacksonville and Chicago, see

Road Company. Capt. W. C. Wallace the
coast agent of the line will have an office in
Jacksonville, to whom it would be well to
supply for a tariff of rates.







THE FLORIDA DISPATCH. S


Inspection of Commercial Fertilizers.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA., December, 1882.
Editors of The Florida 'Dispatch :
The last report of. the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture for the State of. Georgia, furnishes
some interesting items on the Inspection of
Commercial Fertilizers. This is a subject on
which our own State should take immediate
action, and it is respectfully commended to the
attention of the Legislature, soon to convene.
During the season of 1880-1, there were 152,-
464 tons inspected, which yielded in fees paid
by the seller, the sum of $76,232, and after de-
ducting $12,171.80, as the actual cost of the
operation--salaries of chemists, assistants, in-
spectors, &c.-the net balance of $64,060 was
turned into the State Treasury. There was a
falling off the next (last) season in th ,.use of
fertilizers, owing probably to, the severe and
.protracted drouth, extendifig well 'into the
autumn months. Still the Treasury received
over $50,000 as the pet earnings of the systemV.
Just think of a clear, revenue ,of $50,000. re-
alized by a State for protecting its citizens
against fraud. But this is not all. The honest
manufacturer is rewarded by the enhanced pop-
ularity of his goods, while the imposter, after
the disguises of his worthless imitations and
noxiQus compounds are detected and exposed,
is forced to seek some other field for his swind-
ling operations.
A thorough analysis, by disclosing the com-
mercial value of the constituents of the manure,
guards against exorbitant prices, and enables
the consumer, the farmer, to select with cofin-
dence the particular brand required.
In the absence of authentic registry, it is dif.
ficult to ascertain the exact quantity of com-
mercial fertilizers brought into the State within
the past year. According to the most reli-
able estimates, the number of tons ranges from
10,000 to 15,000. Suppose it to be 10,000. By
the Georgia schedule of taxes and expenses, this
quantity would yield in fees the sum of $5,000.
Deduct $800 to cover the cost of inspection,
and there remains a net balance of $4,200, not to
be paid into the Treasury of the State, as is done
in Georgia, but to constitute a fund for pur-
poses to be developed further on. It may strike
the reader as being better in these initial pro-
ceedings, to appropriate a larger per cent. or
perhaps the entire earnings for the support of
the Inspecting Department. It amounts to the
same thing, in fact, as will be seen, and obvi-
ates the necessity of changes in legislation af-
terward.


For reasons constantly tending to that end,
chief among which is the large accession annu-
ally made to the ranks of vegetable and fruit-
growers, it is obvious that the consumption of
commercial fertilizers will be greatly augmented
another season. And that their use would be,
further stimulated by the removal of all doubt
as to purity and genuineness, is also clear.
Consequently, with an Inspecting Department
in successful operation, it would not be unrea-
sonable to expect an income of more than
$12,000. Such a sum would wipe out all indebt-
eik s incurred to set the scheme in motion,
and have a handsome balance to the credit of
the inspt ion fund. To accomplish this desir-


able result,,25,000 tone of commercial manures
would suffice;; whether imported or manufac-
tured, in the State. In a few years the revenue
from this source will equal that of Georgia, and
exceed it., The very nature of our products-
their greater value-together with the rapidly
widening area of cultivation warrants the seem-
ingly bold assertion.
No State in the Union offers iUducemeAut for-
intensive farming superior to Flprida. Nione
equal, unless possibly California. And after
otmrpeople have acquired a little more confi-
deuce in this (to them) "new method" of farm-
ing, the old ruinous $10 to $15 per acre system,
will be abandoned forever.
It will scarcely be questioned from what has
already been said, that an Inspecting Depart-
'ient would become self-sustaining from its in-
cipiency. A few thousand dollars Will be re-
quired, it is true, for laboratories, anid salaries
the first year 'or two, but only as a loan. Inb a lit-
tle while the Department will command an iii-
come more than adequate to refund all' ad-
vances, and meet evei'y obligation. "
The interest on the 'Agricultural College fund
-obtained, as is well known, by the sale of lands
donated by Congress for an Agricultural Col-
lege--amounts this. year to a little over $9,000.
It is said the curators of this fifid contemplate
at some future day, after a sufficient sum has
accumulated, the erection of a grand college,
"of which the State may well be proud. 'It is
to be hoped, however, that wiser counsels will
prevail. The experience of several Northern
States, with ten times our capital, have in-
dulged a similar faniy for magnificent Agricul-
tural Colleges, to small profit. They send forth
a few graduates each year, who are better in-
formed on every other subject that-' agrictil-
ture. But aside from objections of this charac-
ter, which might very properly be urged against
suffering that fund to lie longer unemployed,
notwithstanding its increase by compound in-
terest, is the pressing need for it at this partic-
ular time. The encouraging prospect held out
by the future in the way of large immigration,
enhanced value of lands, cheap rates of trans-
portation, new markets for products, &c., war-
rants the belief that the next generation will
be abundantly able to provide for its own wants.
Besides, every effort now expended to foster
agriculture, and instruct the rising generation
to appreciate and utilize the many advantages
of soil and climate free to the humblest citizen
of Florida, is calculated to hasten the advent of
general and substantial prosperity.
A deliberate/consideration of illthe interests
to be subserved, has suggested the: following
plan, which is designed to advance in sev-
eral ways, both directly and indirectly the
great cause of agriculture:
Apply a part, or thelwhole if nces~ary of
the annually accruing interest of the Agricultu-
ral College fund to the equipment of two chairs
of Chemistry. One for each of the State Semi-


naries, having especial reference to the claims
of agriculture. Let the incumbents of these
chairs, in addition to their ordinary duties of
instruction, be also required, to act as analytic
chemists to the State for those geographical
sections now tributary to the Seminaries
respectively. Now for the cost.
The services of a competent chemist are
worth $2,000 per annum, or $4,000 for the two.
As for suitable laboratories, can it be stated upon
the authority ofthe Agricultural Commissioners
of Georgia, that the one used by that State cost
$1,000 in 1874, the year her system of Inspec-
tion was inaugurated. It is true her present
analytic chemist. Professor White, who was
elected about two years since, is also pro-
fessor of chemistry in her University, and of
course has the use of the magnificent Labora-
tory belonging to that Institution which cost


originally $30,000. The expense of providing
one or two Inspectors 'will be trifling. Georgia
has seven, and instead of perquisites or com-
missions, pays them salaries averaging $743
each. In place of a Commissioner, one of the
Cabinet Officers might be required to exercise
'a gei eral supervision.
At the close Of the' first year, fixing the date
for inaugurating th6 scheme at October 1, 1883,
the account up to 30th September 1884 would
probably show as follows:
To 2 labaoratorles at $1,000 oach............................... $2,000
" Salaries of 2 chemists......................... 4,O0
SSalaries of 2 inspectors ............. .................1,500
SContingent expenses................. .........^. ..... 500
Interest on 9,000 at 10 per cent...... ....... 5.... 900
.. 8,00o
BY inspection of 20,000 tons fertilizers at 50 cent......$10,000
Balanie to, inspecting fund................................... .......J,100
The revenue accruing to this fund should be
invested and tl* e interest applied tp ; establish
experimental gardens, assist ,1 i geological
examinations, and kindred purposes.,
Au. indispensable anxiliary to every scliool
of agriculture, is an e.per Iental farm, or
garden. Practical lessons in the art of'cultivat-
ing the soil, are far more desirable than theo-
rhetical instruction,where only one is attainable.
But with the; two combined, practice to illus-
trate and impress the truths of theory, any
young man can secure an education which will
fit him for a successful and useful career in
life. Such a garden, under judicious manage-
ment, could easily sustain itself after receiving
a good set off at the start. ,A4d so soon as the
proposed inspecting fund warrants the expense,
gardens for testing new varieties of fruits and
vegetables, as well as for determining the
local adaptability of those already in use,
should by all icans be established in various
parts of the State. '
Some idea may be formed of the immense
trade in commercial manure, and the import-
ance if not absolute necessity of calling on
Science to select the good from thie bad, from
the fact that 270 different brands were analysed
by the State chemist of Georgia during the past
seaseoh J. N. WA ITNER.
'The "August" Lemon-Unfair Freight
Charges, &c.
MANATEE, 'FLA, November 25, 1882.
Editors of The Florida Dispatch:
-I heai that' at or near Crescent City, a
tminon known as the "August" Lemon is being
extensively planted. Will you please give a
'deScription of this Lemon in THE DISPATCH
ilnd confer a favor on your South Florida
readers? We have a Lemon .here, resembling
the Everbearing some what, which is called
the "Pine Island Lemon;" It ripens in August I
and Septeimber. 'Thought perhaps if might be
the same as the Atfigust Letit6n'. Can you tell
me whether th fbrulgn 'lemon brought to
flhis country from thB shores of the Medi-
terrhnean 'are allowed to ripen on the trees, or
are they picked hen' of a certain size or age,
and subjected to a curing prodtess, to prepare
tlietom for mil'ket? Onie thing inore and I" am


done. I recently: bought in Jacksonville a
cultivator for $13.50 ,and paid $2.71 freight on
it to Braidentown, 'pyi'g at the rate of nearly
31 cents per pound. While' a' neighbor of
mine just bought th sainie thing in New York
for $11.50 and the freight bn his 'from New
York to Braidentown was $1.24. This looks
as though Jatcksonville would not get a very
large share of'trade from this section, unless
the present freight rates are' reduced. Very
truly yours, F. N. HORTON.
REMARK-We shall have to ask our Cres-
cent City readers about the "' August" Leinon.
We know nothing of this variety. The charges
complained of are outrageous, and should not
be borne. We believe the foreign lemons
are all picked before fully ripe.-EDs.

Where the Woof romes From.
Let us see now where the -wol, of the world
comes from,.aind how it is distributed,, The
sheep of the world are estimated at 6.00,P00,000
head. This may be divided ipto fine ,(French
i and Spanish Merino, and, Selesian), medium
wool and long wool, eaph variety having dis-
tinct characteristics and being uniform, in tex-
ture and quality, and rough wool (medium
fine to coarse), but not uniform, in its texture.
When we say uniform, we mean that the more
modern and carefully-bred sheep produce wool
of constant and definite characteristics. For
I instance: Great Britian produces long, medium
and short-stapled wool; but neither 'of these
are known as fine wools. The fine wools are
produced by the. Spanish, the Saxiny, 'the Sile-
sian, the French and the 'Americdn Merinos.
The rough 'w6bis, as before stated, are medium
fine to coarse, but not" uniforn, nor ifideed,
nearly so, ifi their texture. N6w, this even-
ness of -quality,' whatever' the' :keed, is what
cpnstitutes the' principle 'value of the wool;
'that is,' ifnifiirmity dftbxturre and freedom
from long hairs, or the usually d~,dched halt's
sometimes found' in the flbece;' and whih h IVe
been denominated "jaf--this, 'inr fih& 'wo1l
sheep is especially objectiornable.--Bheded`s
Gazette, Chicago. '
The Walkinp H14tse.
The country would reap incalculable beine-
fit if the walk of its ordinary horse could be
accelerated a single niile per hour beyoui
what is now genera." It would put niill ions of
dollars extra into the jIati6ndal pockets 'every
year. We might hae might have horses which wopild
walk five miles per hour, jhst'as naturally and
easily as three tothreie'hn'a hai r, an' ra'.ely
four; as is pw. the rule. "All tiTe "arm and

What an Ardent Lover of the Turf Thinks
of the Improvement in Trotters.
James Grant, of Davenport, Iowa, one of
the most celebrated as well as one of the most
successful lawyers of the West, is in the city.
'He is President of the National Trotting Asso-
ciation, 'which controlA over two hundred tracks.
A reporter had an interesting chat with him
last iiight. M r. Grant, who is 70 years .old,
says: "1The 1reqd and use of trotting horses in
the past ten years has increased a thousand
fold; You may; travel through the countryany-
whe1 and fidnd farmers' 'boys training horses.
The boys are on the alert for good stock, and if
they find a horse to, be a good trotter they seek
every opportunityto put him in training. By
and by there is a, cpuaty fair., The boy enters
the horse and he,trots off with a premium and
a first-class record. Why, sir, the breeding of
tiottjig horses has become e great industry,
rringngngto Kentuqky, Ohio and other statess
hundreds of thousands of dollars."
,. -.What do; you think of ,he, fictitious value
.placed, popp yotoing gQrpes ?
.'Th. value ,o trotting horses has quadrupled
,within the ,past tep yeas, bpause pf their. su-
perior breed, pd trj0a ngy tira
,"W ^bhqi. yur 9ibpeAation; as to the increase
of speed iand thq methods, of' tr dining compared
wTh that; of years past?".
I haye pbsr.ved very closely, but kept no

2.40 tp.2.101, This is the fastest time pn record,
pmae by Maud S. A')great number of horses
have.made less than 2.20. I attribute this im-
proyem~ent ,more to good breeding than to train-
ing.- Tltp last ses ou has been productive of a
grefit'nmayhores .whose records are under

S'i's thereany difference between Eastern
and Western blooded, stock as to speed and
quality ?"
S"It Ij my opinion that the section of country
has pothipg to, ,o wifh the quality of a horse.
The blood of fine trotting horses is diffused all
oyer t heUnIedtates."..
Mr. Grant was probed. fqr, some points as to
the. methods emplopyed in the ,practices of fraud
an4 riokery ^e^tyrf t
"Oh, there are a thousand, whys of corrup-
tio.p" h,.ai4,. "They ore toaq numerous to men-
tio.., A common Fraptice is to throw off the
rae and makp the best horse the loser. It is a
fact that horss are often drugged or in some
WSy pliysi4mly ijipairqd in order to make them

SBi*etj W^ O~ V1R HoRSE.-When

befiu 'he 'has "n6t been properly taught his
btusiness.' To 'hip ahd misuse him is to spoil


him.- A' horse is naturally willing and docile
if well used, and much may be done by kind-
hess, patience and judgment in removing the
ill effectss of af o'g"tibaitment. A colt should
be trained when buihg, anid gradually taught
his dtities; the greatest care should be taken to
avoid frightening or irritating the animal, and
uiiich patience should be exercised. If the ani-
mil i*efties tW'do 'what i-'required, punishment
will 'Imake matterf worse; something should be
don '-to d-tr ct its attention, when it will gen-
erilly becoiie' dbile.-J-A-neiricah Agriculturist.

A Boy's Potato crop.
Sometime last spring tlib poipridtor of the
Southern World offered: a' preiium iof $20, in
gold, to the boy under 16 years of,age, who
would report the best yield ofany crop, on .a
half arer of land. Master Bark battle, son
of Rev. J. R. Battle, saw the proposition and
contested for it. The YestiltA of lid tlbojr was
250 bushels of fine large swebt -.otatoes, on' a
half acre. A specimen,, busheL'of the ipota-
toes, and proper ,acy .4 jiryg certifcates-
sworn to by dismtterpsted parties--were for-
warded the other day 'to "tlie proprietor of the
journal mentioned. We commend the worthy
example of young Mr. Battles to the young
men and boys of Thomans. It shlwws what a
boy can do, when he trles. Boya make a great
mistake when they think that farming is only
drudgery, and cannot be made to pay. .What
the county needs is fbwer oleiks-, with hair
parted in the middle, fewer professiobaJ dronep,
pnd more manly youths who are not afraidand
ashamed to take hold of the plow, ut make
the country prosperous, and te 'towns will take
care of theitselVes. It is in the sbil whereI the
surest chances of success in, life are fodind; it
is on-the farm where the truest contentment is
found; it is around the country faeily.fireside
where the purest Virtue is found. Despise not
the country.- Thomasville (?Ga.) Temes.

POTASAI FOR MELONS.-Dr. Stuittevant says
that in growing melons, it seems well to add a
handful of sulphate of potash, or seeral hand-
fuls of wood ashes, :to -each hill. .The effect
seems to improve greatly the qmlity. of. the
fruit grown, and if his experience is sufficient
to generalize from, he would say that the ad-
dition of potash in excess to the soil upon
which the kmelon is grown Will add an ekcelleit
quality to the fruit.



THE PERFECT HATCHER.--Having noticed
from time to time, in the- Poultry World, the
various reports of scoeos oM failure of poultry-
men in artificial incubatidil, I thought it not
amiss for me to give, a fpw f c. r ating,to my
success with "The Perfect Hatcher,' iajde by
the Perfect Hatcher Comiipany; 'Imiraa N. Y.
After having runt an iiiicatbr Anitdi by other
parties which' provedi a- refrighdiar h: winterer
and an oven in summer, and, after having lost
a great many eggs by it, [ purchased, a Perfect
Hatcher, which I approached with many fears,
not daring to place' ovf' one huadr6d and ten
eggs in it at first. On the seventh'da)i:' A -
moved all but iinety-igh tklicth i pved fdr-
tile, and from these L. got; eightyrthree fine


chicks. After this I lhad perfect confidence in
the Perfect Hatcher, and kept itI''ul'lduring
the hatching season for two years or more past,
and with perfect success. I have, ti some cases,
got one hundred per ceit. of'the eggs placed
therein, and am satisfied that when eggs failed
to hatch that it was the fault of the eggs. and
not of the incubator .
I db not hesitate to give n as my opinion
that the'Perfebdt Hatchet is a Prff'fct siiccess,
and I do not see -how it coldd: ,te improved. It
is easily run and regulated, and so far; as my
experience, with it, goes, perfectlyy reliable.
Now I have no axe to grind, and no. interest in
the Perfect 'atdher wthadi!Vr, "doher than that
I feel' in, eery good thing. My objet in
writing is to assist those poultrymen .hlo "A
looking for an incubator that will do.,aawA,
if not better than the mother hen arnd. r~,d k
they will find it in the Perfect Ttihier.--P.
C. Sherwood in Poultry World. '

eral inducements as to terms and quality of material.
Draughts, plans, estimates and information furnished
on application.
We have also made extensive additions to our Plan-
ing Mill, and will continue, as heretofore, to nanufacu-

Laths, etc. .
July 17, '82-tf, Ellaville, Florida.

FORSALE.
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
Y mile lake Iront; 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 itLwith 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
