Valuable Hint* Upon Orange Culture.
At the recent meeting of the Florida
Horticultural Society, Mr. Pierce read a
paper upon orange culture, from which the
following is an extract: Which shall we
plant, seedlings or budded trees? I answer
most emphatically, budded trees, and I think
that I but voice the sentiment of eight
tenths of the orange growersof Florida, and
*ll of the leading pomologists of the state.
In looking up the history and culture in
all the countries that lay claim to giving
it any attention, I find that budding is
universally practiced. Why should we not
bud our orange and lemon trees when we
wishto propagate a fine variety, as we do our
apple 6. pears, plums, peaches, apricots and
grapes? Some say that they deteriorate by
so much budding. I would ask all such if
they have done so in the older countries,
where budding has beeu practiced hundreds
of years 1 History does not show it to be
tbs case. I cannot find in any country
where it is practiced that the trees have in
any way lost their vitality. On the other
band, it is claimed by most writers in these
countries that trees budded on sour, bitter
sweet, and some kinds of lemon stocks, are
very much longer lived. If we bud we get
a duplicate of what we bud. The bud is a
part of the original, while the seedling is a
distinct individual, which may partake
largely of the parent, or be entirely unlike
it. We are never certain whether we are
going to have something as good as the
original, better, or very much inferior. The
budded trees will bear very much sooner,
giving paying crops long before the seed
lmg comes into bearing. A friend of mine
who has beeu favorable to seedling trees said
to me, “I am going to bud my young grove,
for I have decided that I shall not live long
enough to make a bearing seedling grove.”
He is only 45 years old. He said: “I was
looking over the seedling grove that I
planted out thirteen years ago, and I find
that on eight acres of large trees there will
not be fifty boxe3 of fruit this year, and it
ias never borne 100 boxes.”
Much more might be said in favor of the
budded trees, but I will not trespass on
your time. Having decided to bud, shall we
plant trees already budded, or plant trees
and bud them after they get established.
Put out budded trees every time, as you
will save much valuable time and money. I
was talking with a man who is interested in
a large company grove of over 300 acres,
which tried the plan of planting out and
then budding, thinking to save money by
doinc so. He told me they were satisfied
that they had done wrong, as it had cost
thorn more money, and he was satisfied that
they could have had a bearing grove by
this time; as it was, they had just finished
budding. This grove was planted some six
jears ago.
Trees can be cared for much cheaper in
the nursery. Your grove will be much more
even, if buddod trees are planted, as many
of your trees will not take bud at the same
time, some will be broken out in plowing,
end by the wind, and eaten by insects, how
scar well you may guard against it. Hav
ing decided this matter, the next question
will be, who* varieties shall we plant*
rni.w is at present a great confusion of
ipinion in this matter. There are a great
naay very choice varieties, all having
ihampions.
As for me the Navel, Jaffa, Majorca and
everal varieties of the Blood come the
learest to perfection, and have scored high
n the decision of the judges at most of our
;orticultural fairs. Still, I am not pre
wired to say that these varieties will be the
lost profitable for general culture. It
lay be with the citrus fruits as with ap
iles, pears, peaches and other fruits—the
ery choicest are not always the most
rofitable, as they may not be as vigorous
nd productive, nor ship well. Time will
letermine this matter in the near future,
imi;only a few of the more profitable varie
ies will be grown, except by some fruit
areiers as varieties. The varieties of lemons
lost generally grown here are the Villa
franca, the Bel air Premium (imported by
ten. Sanford) and the Eureka, which was
he first imported into California
It may be proper for me to make a few
emarks with regard to handling trees,
'loch should be done with the greatest
are, so they should receive no serious
hock, which might cause the loss of trees,
r stunting them so they might be a long
ime in recovering. On receipt of trees
pen package in a shady place; if not moist,
loisten well, and those that cannot be
lamed out immediately should be “heeled
i’’in the following manner: First, dig a
arrow trench, then place in a row of trees,
hen take the dirt from one side aad press
irmly on the roots; this will open a trench
or the next row, and so on until all are
leeled in. Do not at any time expose the
oots to the sun or wind, and keep well
noistened.
'iho next question will be, How far apart
hall we plant our trees? There are also
many opinions with regard to this. Sev
eral years ago the prevailing distance was
30 feet, but at the present time they are
generally planted nearer, from 21 to 25 feet
a part, according to quality of soil. The
poorer the soil the nearer the trees are
Planted.
r ‘ think a very good way is to plant them
30 feet apart in squares, and then put one in
the center, wnich will be about 21 feet 3
inches. If the fruiting varieties are
flamed, it will be a long time before they
"ill be crowded to do any harm, and when
ti.ey do the centers oan be removed, and
s u!l have the grove in good shape. Having
mqusred into this matter of setting trees in
toe older orange-growing countries, I find
Shite a difference, some planting 12, 14, 18
a nd 25, much the larger portion, however,
ng planted less than 20 feet apart. Some
c that an acre of ground in full bear
ing will only produce about the same num
oer of oranges, whatever distance the trees
are apart. Before planting all roots
should be removed and the soil well stirred
t° quite a depth, place the tree in the
ground so that the roots will be as near a3
possible in the same relative position that
y w ere in the nursery. I would urge
Special care in placing the tree in the
ground as near as possible as it was origin
ally.
Hie Mai de Goma (sore shin) has not
gi'en us serious trouble as I have been able
"•am, although it has been a cause of
kreat loss to growers in Spain; I give their
description of the disease with treatment.
(llse ase consists of a gummy oozing,
generally occurring either in the spring or
Lhn autumn. It attacks the trunks of the
■ ees just above the surface of the soil, or
roots themselves. This disease
commences to show itself by some drops of
gum appearieg on the trunk, which still
appears sound, but this spilling continues
increasing, the bark is perforated and the
flow of gum augments, being fluid, turbid,
grayish in color, and of a bad smell; the
bark then raises, drying or rotting on the
roots, aud the plant, which commences to
turn yellow, weakens and dies.
Reoent studies of this disease have proved
that its existence Is to be attributed to a
microscopic fungus, belonging to the group
of Spheroids. Where this fungus does not
exist there is no disease; where the germs of
it do not reach the disease cannot unfold it
self, and where the conditions of life are
wanting for this small vegetable, whether
proceeding from nature or artificially, the
fungus dies and the disease is extirpated.
The fruit of this fungus forms itself about
the end of July or August, being preserved
during the winter for propagating its
spores in the spring. The best remedy
against this disease, and which from experi
ence has given the best results, is sulphur
ous acid, mixing 15 bulks of sulphurous
acid, concentrated at 66° Baume, with 100
liters of water. Method of application; re
move the earth round about the tree for the
circumference of a meter or so, until no
diseased roots are met with. The hole
should then be dug deeper, but with great
care, so as not to injure the sound roots
near the trunk, to about the depth of half
a meter if possible. The earth extracted
should be piled up and burned. All roots
that have completely lost their bark should
be cut off, as also those which are in a state
of putrefaction, and these roots should be
burned. Afterward all tne sickly portions
of the trunk, until the bark is saturated,
are well moistened with the prepared
liquid, as are likewise the diseased parts of
the roots that may be met with in such con
dition. It is estimated that about five liters
are sufficient, and another five liters for
irrigating in the vicinity of the tree. The
hole is then filled up with either new soil or
the burned earth, and afterward watered
lightly. Ten liters of this water saturated
with sulphurous acid are more than suf
ficient tor a tree somewhat grown, but prac
tice will teach the greater or less quantity
that should be employed.
Farm Homes.
A farmer’s wife, writing to the Southern
Cultivator says: Someone has intimated
that he who has eyes for seeing, is a very
wealthy man—he owns the landscape!
Whoever is blessed with eyes, then, owes it
to God and his fellowman, that he should
contribute his mite of beauty and cheerful
ness to the world around him.
In no way can he do this with more tell
ing effect, than in creating a lovely home,
in building a comfortable and attractive
house, and making the most and best of our
surroundings.
No matter how small his possessions may
be, or how plain and cheap his mate
rials, it is always possible for every farmer
to make the landscape a little more pleas
ing, from the fact of his having a hand in
it.
If this seems a small achievement, and
one without “profit,” let the reader call to
mind those farm houses, seen too often,
whose rickety fences, unkempt door yards
and scattered tools, are an ugly blot upon
nature’s fair page, and I am sure he will
feel the great moral as well as financial
meaning that lies in even the humblest ex
pressions <>r boouty, thrift and ordo, —a
meaning that announces pretty clearly in
farming regions, the difference between the
man and the sluggard—between the gen
uine and worthy “lord of the soil” and the
black-souled pauper, who makes no honora
ble return to the acres that feed him.
It is a great thing to build the house that
is to be one’s home. There are few pleas
ures so unalloyed as that of selecting the
ground, laying the foundation, and watch
ing day by day the growth of wall and
roof that go to form one’s own secure
kingdom through the years to come. And
it is a pleasure that cannot be entered upon
too seriously. If there are to be but three
rooms, they will constitute the home, and
the opportunity exists to make them either
charmingly cozy and cheerful, or depress
ingly ugly. Therefore, even a small house
plan should be well considered. A house
plan is easily torn down and remodeled; it
costs nothing to add a paper window here,
or to remove a paper partition there; a pen
cil line changes the staircase or enlarges the
dining room; a few moments of inexpen
sive reflection lets the morning sunlight
into a cheerless kitchen, builds a clothes
press and remodels the pantry; or, if some
thing better is thought of, the Whole estab
lishment can be easily tossed aside, and not
even the shadow of the house mover’s bill
presents itself. But. having put a plan into
solid timber aud mortar, and then coming
to find how greatly the house might be im
proved—ah, woe the day! It is no idle
thing to meddle with the staircases and
partitions, and the gloomily-lighted
kitchen.
The building site is, of course, the first
thing to be considered. One’s first resolu
tions regarding it should bo to avoid all
anxioty to jump into the road. A house
crowding upon the highway loses all dig
nity and home-like ropose, and gains noth
ing but dust. Such choice of location may
possibly be an hereditary trait, coming
down from that long ago time, when
houses grew up along the faintly-marked
trails of emigration, and closely clung
there, as if in mortal fear of savages and
wild animals lurking in the background.
But in these peaceful days, it is better to sit
back in a leisurely and composed way, as if
not afraid of one’s own fields and woodlands,
but at home and happy with them. Let
no site bo chosen because of its proximity
to the road, or because it is ‘ ‘handy to
water.” Select the finest spot on the farm
—a place combining, if possible, elevation,
eastern and southern frontage, natural
trees, a pleasant outlook, and make all else
conform to it.
If there is a stream of water or a lake in
the vicinity, try to have a glimpse of it for
the living room windows. A landscape
without a bit of water in it, is almost as
pitiful as the face of a blind man, as any
one will testify who has once lived by bab
bling brooks, or near the shores of lake or
ocean.
There are opportunities for improving all
building sites, though the farmer, priding
himself upon his “good, hard comiiiou
sense,” may sneer at the term “landscape
gardening,” but properly pruned trees, a
well-kept stretch of turf, and shrubberies
planted in the right jHace, are just as much
to his credit, as a good barn or stanch
fences. Landscape gardening need not
necessarily mean littering one’s grounds
with rubbishy rockeries and puny ever
grees, or cutting them up with devious
paths and drives. T<? bring the best into
notice, and to soften and put out of sight
that which is not attractive, is all that is re

quired. Simple but correct touch ea will
tell. A light foot bridge thrown over the
brook, where it winds into view between
the willows of the meadows, two or three
rustic seats grouped under some near shade
trees, a great vase made of a section of
hollow tree filled and surrounded with hardy
climbing vines, and placed near the curve
of the carriage way, a spacious sweep of
beautiful turf sloping away to meet the
darker verdure of a leafy hedge, a few firs
or pines planted where winter sunsets glow
through them—these, and similarly simple
“landscape” touches, add wonderfully to
the attractions of a farm home.
A Cure for Hog Cholera.
“Farmer,” Tallahasse, Fla, writes to the
New Orleans Timex-Democrat: This
disease among swine seems to be similar
to yellow fever or typhus fever, etc., in the
human family, and is undoubtedly a disease
of the liver, as the hogs that die, and even
those which recover, have their livers filled
with ulcerated spots, and leaving hard
spots, when they do heal, in the animals
tuat finally recover sufficiently to be fat
tened ;|f any one doubts this, let him open
any hog that has just died from cholera,
and he will bo convinced.
When this disease is complicated with
lung fever there will be much coughing .
among the hogs, and it will be much more
fatal than when the liver only is affected.
This disease is contagious like yellow
fever, etc., in the human family, and I can’t
see how certain kinds of food, salt, ashes,
etc., Or range, has anything to do with pre
venting it among hogs; for it is a
well-known fact that the ‘ ‘razor-back” is as
great a sufferer from this malady as the
finer breeds of swine, let their food and
keep be what it may.
Some hogs escape when the cholera is
raging, just as some members of the hu
man family escape when the yellow fever is
raging in a large city; from this fact wo can
account for the many preventives and some
of the nonsense written about the disease.
We must take a common sense view of t his
subject, as of everything else; and if it is a
liver disease, calomel is the remedy; but it
is not infallible, and any one who expects to
cure every case of this terrible disease
among swine will certainly be disap
pointed.
As it is a difficult matter to give medi
cine to hogs except when they are willing
and able to eat, care must be taken to give
it in time. W r hen they refuse to eat, calo
mel can be forced down their throats, en
veloped in lard, with an iron spoon with a
long handle. When the animal has
reached this stage I would suggest heroic
doses every other day, according to size 01-
age.
Au intelligent farmer who has used the
following mixture or remedy for fifteen
years, both in Alabama and Florida, says
that he has lost very few hogs from cholera
during that time. He gives the following
as soon as the disease is known to be in his
neighborhood:
Tnree ounces of calomel, 1 pound of
sulphur, one-half pound of copperas, one
fourth pound of blue stone, 1 gallon of pine
tar. Mix well and smear two ears of corn
every morning to each hog, for one week.
Leave off one week and then repeat for
three weeks. The sick hogs should be
separated from the well ones, and the best
sanitation established possible.
Fwm sixty to sevont.y-ftve drops of car
bolic acM 10 a gallon of drinking water is a
help in this disease, as it prevents decay of
the mucous membrane of the stomach and
intestines. Charcoal corrects the acidity of
the stomach, and is beneficial to that extent,
but it is no cure-all, as the advocates of the
“burnt corn” theory claim.
The burnt corn should be fed to the hogs
before they refuse to eat, as it then acts as a
preventive. ■ Medicine should be given in
telligently, even to hogs, or more damage
may be done than good.
Farm and Stock Notes.
Keep an eye to the future shape of the
tree, aud timely remove small, needless,
crossing or crooked limbs. This will ob
viate heavy pruning in after years.
Taking care of the tools and implements
is one of the best modes of economizing on
the farm. The value of the tools annually
depreciated from lack of cleaning, oiling
and exposure to weather, is enormous.
Cool nights are not favorable to corn and
tender vegetables, but the ground can bo
kept warm if good cultivation is given and
the weeds destroyed.
Whenever a crust forms on the surface of
the ground break up the soil with a cultiva
tor. A hard crust prevents absorption of
moisture and allows the rain from quick
showers to flow off to some extent. It also
prevents a complete appropriation of the
plant food nearer the surface.
It has beeu demonstrated that horses can
feed on ensilage with advantge, and that
where they are not required to do service,
as in winter, an allowance of thirty pounds
of ensilage per day will keep horses in good
condition.
A good appetite indicates good health.
It is no disadvantage to have an animal
that is a heavy feeder. Such animals
usually produce proportionately to the
quantity consumed. The f od is simply
tne material to be converted into products.

Ragout of Onions.—Cut a couple of
bunches of young onions in slices; add
double the quantity of potatoes, peeled and

Rick Omelet.—Take a small cup of cold
boiled rich and mash to a paste with an
equal quantity of milk, seasoned with pep

Pour a pint of milk on a quarter of a box of

sugar; cook one minute; take from the fire
and add the whites whippod stiff, flavor
with vanilla and pour into molds dipped in

Popular Science.
William H. Daniels of Chicago claims to
have discovered a preparation which will
preserve food for any length of time. It
consists of a powder, the chief ingredients
of which are sulphur and cinnamon. This
powder, when ignited, burns slowly, and
articles exposed to its fumes resist decay.
One pound of the powder will preserve a
ton of meat.
Where Shall We Summer It?
This is an important question, both to the in

Bowden Lithia, Georgia's wonderful Mineral

to both the health aad pleasure seeker.
Only twenty miles from Atlanta, situated di
rectly on the Georgia Pacific railroad. Trains
several times daily; full mail ami telegraph

Springs system of bathing. The finest mineral
water in the world; cool mountain air, and the
great Piedmont Chautauqua holding its summer
session there this season, make it especially at
