The Farmer's Calling.
That farming is as sure, stable, honorable
and remunerative a business as one can enter
upon has been asserted and proved over and
over again. It is true that other kinds of
business-trade, commerce, and some kinds of
manufacturing-that speculations of various
kinds---banking and joint-stock companies-
have, especially of late years, attracted much
attention, and have been popular with dash-
ing and ambitious young men; still, in the
experience of a few past years, the statistics of
business disasters and failures, the moral
wreck of character and the crash and ruin of
men who were reputed rich, have proven that
farming is an industry less fluctuating, less
depressed by hard times, less subject to fail-
ures--a pursuit in which temptation to dis-
honesty has had less influence and in which
men have pursued the even tenor of their way
with less anxiety and with less exposure to
financial ruin and wreck of moral character
than any other kind of business. That colos-
sal fortunes have been, here and there, now
and then, built up by speculation, sharp prac-
tices, gambling in stocks, spoliation of labor
and by indirect and direct robbery, we cannot
deny; but those fortunes, however large and
glittering, do not stand up to the public gaze
as monuments of honor, of patient industry,
of painstaking, honest labor, but they tower
rather as beacons, "warning men to beware of
the hidden rocks and treacherous quicksands
on which so many of life's voyages have been
wrecked. These fortunes have no solid founda-
tions to rest upon, and, when the floods come
and the winds blow they fall like the house
built upon the sand. Farming is a business
that rests on a sure foundation. It demands
honest work. It is not built up by the spolia-
tion of others. Its gains, though they may be
small, are legitimate and honorably earned.
There is more capital invested to-day in agri-
cultural pursuits than in all other industries
combined. It pays more for the support of
Government and receives less protection and
consideration from Government than any
other interest.
In looking at farming in the broad, full
light of practical utility, of safe investments,
of sure dividends and of the best public ser-
vice, we cannot help commending it, and urg-
ing it upon the young as a pursuit upon the
whole more satisfying, less hazardous, more
useful, honorable and remunerative than any
other business. It gives a scope to the intel-
lect, a play to the imagination, a range to the
affections, a field to the inventive powers, a
work for hand and heart which no other in-


dustry supplies.
But for any adequate realization of the ad-
vantages, the remunerations and the satisfac-
tions of farming, there must be among our
Patrons and farmers a high education, a better
culture and a larger appreciation of and devo-
tion to their own peculiar calling. They must
see and feel its importance in its financial, so-
cial, moral and industrial bearings, and pre-
pare themselves with as much zeal and earnest-
ness by careful experiment, close observation
and persevering study as those who propose to
enter the learned professions, or the paths of
science, or the study and the practice of the
arts.--Spirit of Kansas.

What Commercial Fertilizers Have Accom-
plished.
What the future of the fertilizer trade is to
be, time alone can determine. A very marked


I I


gone as missionaries to foreign lands, have car-
ried away from these New England farm lands
a portion of its original fertility.
Such a system, wherever pursued, must event-
ually result in barrenness and sterility. It is a
question of time only, when man can no longer
exist on a soil that is being constantly depleted.
Man's vision, unaided by experience and the
light of history, is extremely narrow. It is
not strange that the earth has not been better
cultivate and her fertilizing elements more
carefully conserved. It is nothing whatever
against the character of man that he should at
first live upon the spontaneous products of the


- ---- i --- ---


change in the condition of the agricultural in-
terests of New England has been brought about
through the introduction of artificial or manufac-
tured fertilizers into commercial circles. The
man who manufactures or deals in plant foods
to-day, holds a position in society as high as he
who buys and sells pork, flour or grain, and
the farmer who uses them has the means to
rise above a dependence upon the scanty wastes
of his stable and pig-sty. If he desires to do so,
he can work the land and raise any crop he
may choose, without becoming connected with
cattle husbandry at all.
If the village mechanic wishes to have a gar-
den where he can employ his morning and even-
ing hour, he can do so without keeping a pig
to furnish the needful fertilizer. The bag or
two of dry, pulverized material which his gro-
cer will bring him for a few dollars, will enable
him to dispense with both the odors and the
music of the pig for a whole year. If the man
with broken down health desires to spend a
portion of his time in pleasant weather, in the
cultivation of small fruits, or in the care of an
orchard, he can do so without also keeping a
stock of animals to be fed, watered, cleaned,
and otherwise cared for. The potash, bone, or
other fertilizing elements required, can all be
purchased in the open market, and brought to
him in any desired quantity, and on any day
of the year.
If the capitalist or speculator has a fancy to
try his hand at raising corn, potatoes, cotton,
sugar, or tobacco, on a large scale as a spcial-
ty, he has only to select his tract of suitable
land, hire competent overseers and workmen,
buy his seeds, tools and fertilizer, and go to
work. He can buy just as much fertilizer as
he has money or credit to exchange for it.
There is now practically no limit to the amount
of plant food in market more than of other
forms of merchandise. But the most notice-
able effect of the introduction of plant food
among the articles of every day trade is the
comparative independence it has brought to the
practical farmer of moderate means.
It is a sorry statement to make, but never-
theless true, that since the settlement of New
England, the farming land under the system by
which it has been managed, has been growing
year by year, a little poorer, a little nearer that
point where cultivation no longer yields a profit.
Every ox, every hog, every lamb and chicken
that has been fatted, every bushel of potatoes,
every pound of fruit, and every quart of milk
that has found its way to the seaport or river
towns where sewage is wasted, has drawn fer-
tility from these New England farms. Every
son and daughter who have grown up to years
of manhood and womanhood, to find a new
home at the West or the South, or who have


earth. The animals do the same. It is when
man arrives at that stage of intelligence that en-
ables him, in a large measure, to hold control
over the products of the earth, to say what
plants shall grow and what shall not, that he
begins to show a superiority over the brute.
The wolf hunts for his prey ; the buffalo roams
for his food; the birds migrate to escape the
inclemencies of winter. Man has followed the
example of the beast and the bird till he has
learned from experience and from the study of
nature's laws, that it is possible to establish a
permanent home, and to draw from the soil,
when properly handled, a sure and constant
maintenance.
Could our New England soil be cultivated
without unnecessary waste, it would be capable
of sustaining a population many times greater
than its present number., Contrive a way to,
turn the waters out of rivers and harbors, made
filthy and dangerous to the health by the mil-
lions of human beings occupying our cities,
back upon the wasted fields of the country, and
there would be little call to send men in ships
half round the world to scrape the roosting
places of wild birds, or to rake the bones from
foreign battle fields. This whole trade in com-.
mercial fertilizers is but an effort to replace, by
the easiest and cheapest means, the fertilizing
material we are daily and yearly sending to the
seas in our sewer pipes and street gutters. And
yet this is a sign of progress.
We are beginning to learn something of the
laws of plant growth, and of plant feeding. The
change in the common talk of common farmers
upon this subject has been very marked' within
the past few years. The commercial ferti)izeire
trade is indirectly bringing practical agricul-
ture u on a sounder basis. Farmers are grad-
ually learning something of the principles
which underlie their practice. Men are begin-
ning to work the soil as they work their raw
material. They are studying how to cut, and
how to use without waste; how to utilize the
odds and ends; in short, how properly ahd eco-
nomically, to adapt means to ends.-New Eng-
land Farmer.

Irish Potatoes in South Florida.
After having tried numerous experiments
and having had many failures, I think I have
established the fact, that potatoes can be grown
here at a profit and become one of the surest
crops we can raise. Our experiment in agri-
culture proves nothing, yet several consecutive
trials, all giving conclusive evidence towards
one method, determines me to believe that at
last I am able to tell "what I know about farm-
ing."
Without enumerating in detail many fail-
ures, which would be of no possible use to any
except the merest tyro, by telling "how not to
do it." the entire method can be briefly stated.


I

First, then, I try and get my seed from Nova
Scotia or New England, using Early Rose, but
shall try St. Patrick's and Burbank's this year,
besides. This selecting seed from the North-
east may be of no possible consequence, but
with the seed grown in that section I have had
the best returns. The potatoes should be cut
to two eyes, about ten days or two weeks before
planting, and if land plaster (pulverized gyp-
sum) can be had, it will pay to sprinkle this
freely among the cut pieces to absorb moisture.
With rows three feet apart, seed dropped eigh-
teen inches apart in the drill, it takes just four
barrels for an acre.
Second-Fertilizer. After trying every kind,
but one, that is sold in this country, I have set-
tled on Forrester's special potato manure as the
best. I know that some writers, who are con-
sidered authority, deride special fertilizers for
special crops, but with me it pays. What if it






THE FLORIDA DISPATCH.


is "ringing the changes on the three main chem-
icals" employed, if potatoes have grown better
on its special than where any other mixture was
used. The experiment of substituting other
than that manipulated for each crop, I have
tried but two consecutive years, using tomato
for potato, and vice versa, &c., with several
brands of Forrester's; and at the risk of being
laughed at, must say that I believe in special
fertilizers. I raise produce as much for profit as
for information, and it pays one to follow the
directions.
Third-Soil. I prefer high pine land, as good
as I can get, but have had success on high white
sand, though except for experiment, I would
never plant such land; hammock I do not like,
as the crop keeps poorly after gathering, while
with a rotation of cow peas, sowed at the rate
of two bushels to the acre, and left to die on the
ground, I can make high pine land very rich.
Fourth, Plow the land thoroughly, and
mark off in rows three feet apart; and sprinkle
the fertilizer along the furrow. I mix thor-
oughly with the soil, by running a cultivator
along the row ; then furrow out about six inches
deep, and drop the seed in the bottom, covering
about two inches deep-usually giving the crop
two hoeings, the second and last having the
ground very slightly raised. The crop will ma-
ture in from 90 to 100 days, but can be left in the
ground until July. I prefer to plant from De-
cember 20th to January 10th, though any time
until March, will do.- W., in South Florida
Journal.

Devons Out of Fashion.
Not many years ago the Devons were the
fashionable animals, not only in this country,
but in England. They were regarded, as com-
bining more points of excellence than any
other breed. The number of Devons imported
into this country at an early day were far in
access of all others. They were found to an-
swer every purpose for which cattle was kept.
They had fine form and color, and were excel-
lent breeders. The fine red cattle found in
most of the New England States contain a
large percentage of Devon blood. The strong
teams that have drawn the logs from the pine-
woods of Maine were Devons. The quick-
stepping oxen that ploughed the hillside farms
of Massachusetts were Devons. The finely
fatted bullock that supplied the Boston market
with the choicest specimens of beef were
Devons. The steers that drew the first settlers
to the western prairies in "prairie schooners"
were Devons, and they made as good time as
horses. The cows that gave the milk that pro-
duced the butter and cheese which supplied the
Eastern States for more than half a century
were Devons. This oldest of all the established
breeds of cattle is still in existence, and in all
its purity and excellence. The animals are
still as beautiful in form and color as ever.


They still travel quickly, draw heavy loads,
give a large amount of milk, and furnish ex-
cellent beef.. They are probably better adapted
to the conditions and wants of the far west,
where the feed is scanty, the climate severe,
and considerable heavy teaming is required
than animals of any other breed. They are
simply out of fashion. They are as sure to
come into fashion again as the old styles of
bonnets.--Chicago Times.

THOROUGHBREDS.-All thoroughbred ani-
mals, whether horses, cows, sheep or hogs, have
one peculiarity in common, which is fineness of
bone. It is one of the surest indications and a
valuable quality, for such animals give but lit-
tle offal and waste, while the net is proportion-
ately larger than the tare, as compared with
coarser kinds,-Farm and Garden.


Dairy Farming.
The scarcity and high price of butter this
season shows at once how profitable a part of
farming is the small dairy. There is not a
place or section in all this country where a
small dairy could be so easily, cheaply and
profitably connected with every little farm as
here in Polk County. Nine out of ten of our
farms have a piece of land just suited to the
raising of Bermuda grass; and on moderately
moist soil, two acres of this grass, with very
little help, will keen five cows and calves.
Then, by having a milk shed and lot on a
slightly elevated spot, where the calves would
be kept through the day, and the cows through
the night, a drain to run down over another
acre of ground and gradually fertilize it with-
out the labor of hauling, enough Guinea or
Para grass might be raised to make all the
green feed that would be needed in connection
with the Bermuda pasture to keep the five
cows in splendid condition all the time.
Five cows thus provided for would give an
average of ten gallons of milk per day; that
would supply any family in the State, make
five pounds of butter each day, and leave at
least six gallons sour milk for the poultry and
pigs; and this would keep fifty hens and three
hogs in good order all the time, making more
good bacon, and more of eggs and chickens,
than any one family could possibly use, and
would add greatly to the family income.
If it was generally known that a gallon of
milk has more of nutrition in it than three
pounds of meat, our people would not be so
indifferent about it. But it is also the very
best food for hens, and nothing fattens a hog
faster than sour milk.
The first cost of preparing to keep cattle in
the way we have suggested, would not be great,
and when once under way, no ten acres on
any farm would pay so well as the four we
have indicated. The milk cows may be selec-
ted out of the herd of any common cattle, but
if blooded stock was used the product would
be more than doubled. And every farmer
could find three or four shoats about his place
to put in the pen to drink the sour milk, and
in six months 1,000 pounds of pork would be
made even if the shoats were very poor at the
start. Then, let us figure up the result:
Ten gallons of milk would supply fully half
the food of any ordinary family, and one
pound of butter would supply the demands of
the household, and four pounds could be sold.
This, in one year, would be 1,460 pounds of
butter, and at 25 cents, which is a reasonable
average, $365 would be received. Eight head
of hogs could be fattened to weigh 2,000
pounds, or twenty could be made weigh the
same amount, and be ready for weekly market.


and besides supplying the lard for the family,
and some to spare, would net at least $200
more.
This plan contemplates the cutting of the
grass from the fertilized acre at each feed, and
carrying it to the cows at milking time, and
the composting of ill surplus fertilizers for the
preparation of a new lot to follow the other
when exhausted, and also the rotating of milk
cows, by turning out all as soon as dry, and
supplying their places with fresh ones. This
would be easy enough after the first year, as
the stock kept up could be controlled so as to
make them come in just as needed. The ar-
rangement would not affect the general stock
of hogs or cattle, as any one could leave all
they had in the range, except such as their
pasture and grass lots would supply.
It would take the time of a youth of fifteen,


or say half the time of a full hand, to attend
to the cattle, hogs, and poultry; and even sup-
posing that nothing was produced by the
poultry yard, and that the labor cost $100,
there would still be left $465 as additional in-
come, beside the general comfort and health of
the family.
The poultry yard would add $100 more, at
least, if well managed, besides supplying the
family.
Nearly all the fevers we have noticed in
children here may be attributed to diet, and a
good supply of wholesome milk would prevent
them.-Bartow Informant.

MILCH Cows.-Dr. VOELCKER recently
stated before a meeting of the British Dairy
Farmers' Association, that he found that food
given to a cow while in milk would be converted
into milk within six hours from the time it is
eaten, and that a rapid improvement in the
quality of the milk follows a change from
poorer to richer food. He also spoke very de-
cidedly in favor of soiling as against pasturing,
the latter being a most wasteful method of feed-
ing.



Profits of Grape Culture in California.
"The discovery of gold in California," says
the San Francisco Bulletin, "was not so import-
ant as the later discovery of the capacity of the
rough hill lands of this State for the produc-
tion of the best grapes ever grown outside of
Europe. It will come to this, that the best va-
rieties of grapes now grown anywhere in Europe
will be found in California. Indeed, some of
the best are found here to-day. There are vint-
iculturists who have been over the vineyards of
France and Spain. They know what is done
there and what can be done here. There is no
grape which flourishes in either of these coun-
tries which will not come to perfection in Cali-
fornia. Another use of one of the most prom-
inent grapes in California has as yet attracted
little attention. The Muscat has this year been
used extensively for canning purposes. It is a
table and raisin grape, and ranking high for
wine, although it produces the sweet wine
known as Muscat or Muscatel, and which finds
favor with many. These canned grapes will
yet have a prominent place in the market. Of
course, grapes of this size and quality will make
very handsome raisins. But if the grower can
get from $30 to $35 a ton for them he will be
likely to let them go without restoring them to
the raisin process. A great many car-loads of
the Muscat and Tokey have gone East this year,
and they have probably returned to the grower
not less than two cents a pound, in some in-
stances much more, or say a gross return of
$300 an acre."

THE FLORIDA DISPATCH.


Rowley's Improved American Dominique
Fowls.
Our old Kansas friend thus relates the his-
tory of the fine breed of fowls which he may, we
think, justly claim to have originated. Cer-
tainly there is no comparison between the very
best "American Dominiques" of the "Standard"
and the large and magnificent fowls sent out
by Col. Rowley. His Dominiques," (as we
have before said), are simply extra fine
Plymouth Rocks, with rose 'combs; and, if
they have any fault, it is the tendency to grow
too large:
MOUND CITY, KANSAS, Nov. 28, 1882.
Editors of The Florida Dispatch:
As I have been requested by you, the Poul-
try Bulletin, and others to give a description
of how I brought to perfection Rowley's Im-
proved American Dominiques, (which I do not
consider quite perfect yet, though I consider
them within one notch of perfection), I will
tell you exactly how I did it. In the start I
will give a few words as to their origin, as I
saw them some seventy years ago, soon after
their import to America. They were about the
size of our best Plymouth Rocks, evenly col-
ored, well barred with dark bars across the
feathers, with yellow legs and beaks, and with
Ssplendidrose combs. They had been crossed
and recrossed with almost all kinds of our na-
tive fowls so long that they had become degen-
erated and nearly run out. My knowing of
their points, etc., thought I would try my skill
and see if I could breed them back to what
they were at first. Some thirteen years ago I
commenced by getting the best hen that I
could get, and a poor cock, the best that I
could pick up, and begun business. For about
five years my chicks hatched all colors, and
my progress was so discouraging that not more
*than one man in a thousand would have gone
on with the experiment. I have had breeders
write inme that they had tried to do it and
failed, yet I determined to accomplish my ob-
ject, and kept at it, picking out my best
marked and largest ones to breed from, throw-
ing out the culls and cooking and eating them.
After five years of hard study, patience and
Spans in culling and mating, they began to im-
i)prove. The longer I bred them the faster
they improved, and for the last four years I
have not had -anything hatch but Dominique
in color, and I have brought them up to their
original size; the cocks when full grown in
good condition weigh from nine and a half to
ten and a half pounds, hens from seven to nine
pounds; they are good layers and a splendid ta-
ble fowl; good foragers, hardy and docile, and I
have brought them to this point from the little,
run out, mongrel Dominique without crossing
with any other, except four years ago I put
* three Plymouth Rock hens with a Dominique


cock in order to get the cocks darker col-
ored, and in the Fall picked out of that cross
the nicest and best marked young cockerel,
with rose comb, and bred him back to my
IDominique hens. That is all the cross that I
have ever made; the balance of the work I
have accomplished by patience, close study,
mating, etc. My knowing just what they
originally were helped me to keep that point
in view and breed for it, and now I have them
of even color, and 'quite perfect. I have
now some half of my breeding stock of hens
perfect in color and nicely marked, and the
balance very good.
I have 'written, this that othei breeders may
know the time and trouble that I have spent
in perfecting Rowley's Improved American
Dominiqucs," and they will see that even $8 or


$10 per pair is less than they ought to be sold
for. I have only offered them for sale the two
past years. I have spent the rest of the time
and trouble without offering one for sale, for I
was determined to bring them to a point that
would breed true, and so well have I succeeded
that I sold a young cockerel two falls past, and
he was mated with a flock of native small hens
of most all colors, and the gentleman told me
since his chicks hatched that every single
chicken was Dominique color. That being the
case, I think the mongrel blood must have
been pretty thoroughly bred out of him. For
the benefit of others it might be well for dif-
ferent papers to copy this. Now, if this will
benefit any I am well paid for my trouble of
writing it. SETH ROWLEY, SR.

"Check Reins," and "Blinders."
All true lovers of that noble and indispensa-
ble animal, the horse, should combine to
put down such abominations as the check-
rein and blinders. The late Sir Arthur Helps
said that whenever he saw horses suffering
from tight check-reins, he knew that the" driv-
ers were unobservant, ignorant, pompous, or
cruel. Mr. E. F. Flower thus elucidates this
sentiment: Unobservant, or he would see that
his horses are suffering; ignorant, or he would
know that a horse loses much of his power of
draught, and cannot recover himself if he
stumbles; cruel, if observing and knowing he does
not remedy it; pompous, if he prefers his horses
should rear their heads on high and rattle
their trappings to being dealt with humanely
and reasonably.
An old friend of ours, living in Cambridge,
a great lover and a competent judge of horses,
called the other day. No one is more ready
to "talk horse," or can do it better. Said he:
" I keep three, and I have not used a check-
rein or blinder for many years."
Some use the rein with a moderate tension
as a help to recovery when the horse stumbles.
We believe the free play of muscles best for
man and beast. Suppose, friend, that you
stumble. Can you better save yourselves from
falling with no constraint of neck and limb;
or with head and arms held stiff?
Gov. HAOOoD, of South Carolina, in his
late message to the Legislature of that State,
gives words of encouragement to agriculture.
Being himself a practical and successful
farmer, there is no one who knows better the
needs and opportunities for improving the
farmer's condition. In alluding to the State


University at Columbia, he uses the following
language:
"The agricultural department should be so
developed as to materially aid in building up
the agricultural interests of the State. Not
only should the opportunity be given to the
rising generation of farmers to acquire the
scientific principles upon which their calling is
based, but the farmers themselves should have
the benefit of the experiments and tests of a
well-conducted experimental farm located in
their midst. Negotiations are now in progress
between the State Bureau of Agriculture and
the agricultural department of the College,
which will, if perfected, tend largely to bring
about this most desirable result. In order to
secure harmony of purpose and union and con-
centration of effort, the two departments will
be made to mutually assist and strengthen
each other. To this end the College will make


the analyses, researches and practical tests re-
quired by the Bureau of Agriculture, and the
results will be given to the public in the oc-
casional bulletins of the commissioner of agri-
culture. The report of the professor of agri-
culture will also be made a part of the annual
report of the bureau."
"Big Trees I"
Nearly all new beginners go in for "Big Trees"
-"some that will begin to bear right off." To
such readers we would say that in selecting
trees for transplanting, the largest are not the
best. Medium sized trees have better roots, are
easier handled, are less liable to injure from
transportation, start quicker and grow faster
than tall plants that have been drawn, up
weakly in thick nursery rows. Old trees have
wider spread roots, which are certain to be se-
verely abridged in the lifting. The tops must
then be pruned severely to correspond with the
destruction of the roots, so that there is nothing
gained in the way of size, and the check or "set
back', to old or larger trees is often fatal. We
see six, and even eight-year-old orange trees
offered as being desirable on account of size,
etc., but no experienced nurseryman could be
induced to handle such trees.
Plant small or medium sized trees, of healthy,
vigorous growth, and having plenty of roots,
and let the impatient "green horns" tussle with
the big trees !
GRAIN AND MEAT SPECULATORS.-In al-
luding to this class of "land sharks," an agricul-
tural exchange uses this strong language: "We
have in the larger cities a set of the most un-
principled swindlers and gamblers that ever in-
fested civilized society. They are the curse of
the age in which they live. The laws of supply
and demand have nothing to do in fixing prices.
It is all governed by a set of men whose only
aim is to take advantage of the necessities of
the people. It seems as if combinations now
control most of our products."
HAMILTON COLLEGE.-We return thanks
to our friend, Prof. EDWARD NORTH, for a
copy of the Seventy-first Annual Catalogue of
the Officers and Students of Hamilton College,
Clinton, New York, for 1882-'83. This Cata-
logue gives most gratifying evidence of the
prosperity of this time-honored College; and,
we are glad to see still among the names of the
Trustees and Faculty, many gentlemen long and
well-remembered for high character and schol-
arly accomplishments.
COTTON-SEED OIL AND MEAL.-The Cin-

cinnati Times-Star says: "Making cotton-seed
oil and cake is a comparatively new industry in
the South, but it is profitable and gives prom-
ise of wonderful development. In 1870 there
were only twenty-six mills in operation, in 1880
there were forty-five establishments. It is be-
lieved that in a few years the annual product
of these mills, which are now rapidly increasing
in number, will amount to $50,000,000."
-Unquestionably it is essential to the suc-
cess of farmers, as a class, that they be intelli-
gently educated in the way of doing business
and keeping a systematic account of all their
operations on the farm and elsewhere. Such a
training is just'as necessary for them as a legal
training is for the lawyer, a medical training
for the doctor or a commercial training for the
merchant.

THE FLORIDA DISPATCH.


"Banana Land."
The Editor of the Bronson (Levy) Enter-
prise has been down to the "Ten Thousand
Islands," visiting the "Garden of Eden," and
here is his account of it:
A recent interview with Mr. John Jay Fer-
guson, commonly called "Alligator Ferguson,"
a hero of the "late unpleasantness," who lost
an arm at Chancellorsville on the day that
Stonewall Jackson met his fate, gives us the
following particulars:
Mr. Ferguson has lived in the neighborhood
of the Big Cypress for about five years, and
has been engaged in hunting alligators most of
the time, but two years ago concluded to settle
down, and started a banana plantation on one
of the Ten Thousand Islands," which has been
locally named the "Garden of Eden," while
not far away lies another islet, called by way
of contrast "Hell's Half Acre." The para-
disical island contains about thirty acres of
arable land, about four acres of which are in
bearing bananas, and more plants. The
bananas produced are of excellent quality, as we
can witness after testing them. The variety is
the French dwarf, ~ hioh Mr. Ferguson pre--
fers to any other. He states that he is picking
ripe bunches from plants set thirteen months
ago; and these bunches bear from a hundred
to a hundred and fifty delicious bananas of
good size.
The plants are set eight feet apart, giving.
680 to the acre, or 680 bunches bananas
bearing 100 to the bunch, low estimate. This
is 68,000 bananas to the acre-worth at one
cent apiece $680. Not a poor income from
one acre, considering the small outlay re-
quired; and besides the crop instead of need-
ing to be replanted every year, continually
renews and increases itself by throwing up
suckers-two or three of which may be al-
lowed to grow, each bearing a bunch of
bananas, while enough surplus slips are fur-
nished for enlarging the plantation.
Mr. Ferguson says this is the only locality
he has ever found where a man can go and
make a self-sustaining home in a year with
a' capital of $200 cash, and a hoe and axe
for tools. He speaks from experience, and
is a one-armed man at that. This halcyon re-
gion is one of perfect healthfulness, with no
chills and fever, and where one is always ready
for his hash-as Mr. Ferguson expresses it.
Of course it is somewhat out of the way at
present, but Mr. Ferguson has a little schooner,
the cabin of which holds about 150 bunches
of bananas, which he brings to market to
Cedar Key, returning with whatever stores
may be needed.
This "Garden of Eden" is described as situ-


ated about midway between the twenty-fifth
and twenty-sixth parallels of latitude, where
frost is unknown, and climate and vegetation
are distinctly tropical; it is seventy miles
southeast of the mouth of the Caloosahatchie
River, and thirty miles east of Cape Romano.
Ten miles to the eastward over the islands and
stretches of water the Everglades commence.
Mr. Ferguson states that the impression pre-
vailing in some quarters that much of the
region of the Everglades is susceptible of set-
tlement and cultivation is altogether unfounded.
Some one visiting that part at the height of
the dry season may have got that idea, but
with the heavy rains the country becomes sod-
den and submerged.
The natural forest and vegetable growth of
the Ten Thousand Islands is quite different
from that in more Northern portions of Flor-


ida. Among these are the r
wood, gumbo-limbo, wild
stopper and sea-grape whielh

Some Practical Results in Florida, Season 1882.
Ir. R. i. M ARVIN, Orange City, Fla., November 9th, 1882, reports. (roops--Oranges, Lemons, Limets and other semi-tropical Fruits, 800 trees on ten acres, ranging in age

Remnark s-"When i i p-rehae d this grove, the six acres of largo trees had been sadly neglected. They were stunted, starved and covered all over with the scale insect, in
fait, were in a dying condition having as many dead branches as alive. I used various fertilizers the first six months without discovering much benefit, when a year ago I
tdet-ermined to try The- Maes (r,.,, -Tree Manure. During the past year the trees have cleaned off, put on a heavy new growth and averaged at least one-third larger. They

COUNTY,


D)ECE X1 BEIL 1, 1882. "
The town of DeLand is located five miles east of our landing on the St. John's River, where all river steamboats pass; very near the geomraphicol center, north
and south, of Volusia County, and almost in the center of the
GREAT ORANGE BELT
This place is about twenty-five miles from the Atlantic Ocean, and is almost constantly favored with a tempered
SEA BREEZE
id from i elevation abIove lth river, its location among the pines, and its isolation from all standing water, it is peculiarly adapted to the necessities of invalids. This
belt of land is about twenty miles long, and averages about five miles wide. Our lands are
UNSUJRPASED IN FERTILITY
by any pine lands in the St-ate. In our 'vi!.,, which is only six ct-n (id, Le h. ea
FINE SCHOOL BUILDING
used also ior C'hu.-ch &wrvices. A J.apt' .( Church is now built, c-tin- d -;.f, arnlshld and paid for. A Methodist Church is nearly finished and the Episcopalians are'
preparing to) build The P byi'terinsli hold service every otlier Sun;. in the chool-ihoue. VWe hve daily mails, and now have six General Merchandise Stores, carry-
mlg some of the la gest and best stocks in South Florida; also two Drug Stores, a Millinery and Notion Store, a Furniture Store, Bakery and Confectionery Store, two Liv-
ery and Feod tabless Jewelry Store, the Volus;' l County Bank, a Bardware Store nearly completed, a Masonic Lodge, four Saw Mills within two miles, and a Blacksmith
and Wagon Shop. Arrangements are being made for a High School to be established the coming season.
THE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIST
a large eight-page weekly, is published here, and is a valuable paper for those desiring information about Florida. We have a Bell Telephone line'in successful operation
between our village and our landing on the St. John',, River, and a railr ,,(1 from our landing via DeLand to the Atlantic coast is chartered with a land grant of 8,840 acres
per mile. The Palatka and Indian River Railroad which is now being built, will pass through DeLand, and will be completed, as far as DeLand, by next whliter. Ourheo-
tels and boarding houses afford good fare at reasonable prices:. P. senvers v-wl find a conveyance atDeLand landing on the arrival of the up mail boat dqily,' and dfar-
riage will be sent upon order, by telephonaI., t oitlher times. For tle inflortnuIt on of invalids we will add, that several good physicians are settled in our midtcultivating
oranges as a buisin-ess, but a!'o rding excellent mi.n dical aid wihen required. The population now, in and near DeLand city, that trade there, 800 to 1,200. ;
The cRih;,ate is ,.m i-t'opi("al. ange of thermometer last four years-lowest, 2i degrees; highest, in the shade. 101 degrees. Weather-Fall, Winterand.Sprint dry
and ileasant, with occasional rain Summer, sunshine and rain alternate. Soil--sandy, uderlaii with clay in many places, covered with a growth of wild grass. 1Wter
Sn wills 20 to 40 feet deep, usually soft and good. Surfatce-genitly undulating. Timber--Yellow Pine, 80 to 100 feet high. Average product of Orange Trees in full beating,
1 000. A r,'age prive of fruit in grove, $1.50 per 100. Number of trees per acre, 50 to 75. Extra good care and culture of course produces better results. Best months for
planting Orange trees, January and February, June and July. Other "roducts--Sweet Potatoes, Cotton, Sugar Cane, Corn, Pine-Apples, Bananas, Melons, Pears, etc.
Good .Board 1$7 to $10 per week; $1.50 to $2.00 per day. In.gardening excellent results have beQn obtained in a small way; and this business will be developed with added
experience and better transportation facilities. No cases of yellow fever, cholera, sunstroke or other epidemic or prevailing fatal diseases have been known here, add all
climatic conditions are most favorable to health and longevity. Many settlers from the north and northwest are coming in, and our orange belt will soon be thickly set-
tied.
A CHAIN OF LAKES
norl west of us affords protection from frost so perfectly that the extreme cold of December 29, 1880, did not injure our orange trees or fruit.
We are offering these choice lands to actual settlers at from $15 to $50 per acre. Village lots and improved property for sale also. For further particulars, call on or ad-

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
// mile 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
