FLORIDA.
While Florida is one of the oldest,
it is among fhe'youngcst of the states,
the larger portion still a wilderness,
and the state has made greater pro¬
gress in wealth and population since
the war than during all the {re¬
ceding 300 years of its history.
Few states have as great possibili¬
ties as Florida. The past year it
produced 3,000,000 boxes of oranges,
and in a few years it will produce
10 , 000 , 000 .
Lemons, limes, figs, pears, peaches
and pineapples are becoming staple
crops, and are about as profitable to
the grower as the orange; pineapples
even more so. Cocoa Nut trees are
beingjset extensively and when they
are in full bearing nothing brings such
large returns. Banaunas are grown
to great perfection and excellence
andgire likewise profitable. Straw¬
berries are largely cultivated,and the
acreage is increasing every year. 'I he
guava is a delicious fruit very profit¬
able, and the area of its cultivation
is extending. The Japan plain brings
from $5 to $6 a bushel to the pro¬
ducer and is destined to be a valua-
ble crop. The grape, especially the
scuppernong, is very prolific, produc¬
ing 1,000 gallons of wine to the acre.
Other fruits, as persimmon, pawpaw,
custard-apple, date, pomegranate,
nectarine, apprieot, almond, sappa-
dillo, avocado pear, grape fruit, plum,
prune, mango are grown with profit,
and blackberries, blueberries and dew-
berries are abundant in all parts of the
stat e.
In addition to Cocoa nuts, pecan,
J/aderia and Brazil nuts are grown
sum ssfulhyis well as pea nuts. Fruits

a ^ ar n** r acreage another year. It’ is
not t() late to plant the corn jet.
Get ^ithern corn. Prepare
£ roun 1 well, plant in rows about 3*
«et art, and about d niches apart
in the .*ow. Manure and cultivate
there ;hly and well,'the same as for
a first class * crop of ordinary corn,
During the Summer you can make
your >ilo. Next winter you will have
some lino feed for your cattle; next
year you vviil be prepared to put in
several acres of ensilage, add con-
siderbly to your stock and thus grad¬
ually work into the stock business.
The following experience of a Wis¬
consin farmer with ensilage, is taken
from fiie Gainesville Industrial News:
Siio.
My Silo.—-My silo is constructed
as follows: 26x24 ft.,14 ft. posts,frame.
Divided into two pits, 12x13ft. Built
on east end of hay barn, L sed 2x8
studding, two thicknesses of common
inch boards for outside and one thick
ness of common boards and building
paper for inside of studding, and till¬
ed in between studding with saw-
ust, extending roof of barn over silo.
Ring in with six inches of earth for
or.
'’'"'Filling—-Commenced cutting and
^’ling the silo the 7th of September.
Weather was not favorable,too much
rain. Corn had commenced to dent
when cutter was set in motion. The
last planted was the first cut. This
was Unfortunate, as there was at least
a week’s difference in the time of
the planting, time of and cutting, six days’ owing difference location in
to
of the field and condition of the
weather. I wish to call attention to
wasi superior to the other,planted last
and cut first. 1 tried to cut corn and
lay i» heaps to wilt, but this method
had to bo abandoned, as it made too
much work in spreading when wet.
Would cut corn for two days in each
pit, and allow the ensilage to heat up
to 120 degrees. As much as two thirds
of the field planted last was cut and
run ir.to one pir.
The corn from acres of ground
wa s cut into the silo, and completed
the 17th day of September.
Farmers Incredulous—The silo
was left uncovered for a week,until it
showed a heat of 130 degrees; then
covered first with tarred paper and
then with common inch boards. About
two tons of old marsh hay were thrown
t j to top of the boards,
and this well tramped. The silo was
little more than half filled, and con¬
tained about 90 tons of ensilage.
While tilling the silo hundreds of
fanners and business men of Taylor
coi/n'ty,and many from adjoing COUli-
ties, visited the premises and inspect¬
ed the process of filling the silo. - I
was informed by a large majority of
the visitors that 1 would have a large
pile of manure to haul out of the silo
in the spring; that unless 1 threw in
lots of salt it would not keep. Others
would ask me if 1 knew what I was
doing; that J was wasting my corn
crop; that it was too bad to waste
such a good corn crop, etc.
Opening the Pits,—1 assure you,
gentlemen, that it was with a great
deal of uneasiness on my part that,on
the 9th of November,! uncovered one
half of the pit filled last. On the
south end about six inches of the top
was moldy, but near the centre of the
pit there was not more than two inch-
es of mold on the top.
A very little rot and mould on
outside constituted all the waste in
pit No. 1. The dry stock ate almost
all the moldy ensilege, so that the
waste was almost nothing. On o-
pening pit No. 1 tne thermometer
showed 135 degrees. After remain-
ing open some tune the heat grew
less, so that the temperature
ed at about 100 degrees. 1 fed from
the top, and vised one-half the ensi-
lage in the first pit. This was about
the middle of December, and the
weather was quite cold. In feeding
ensilage from second pit 1 du so , bv ;
boards covering falling ensilage, The to keep the
cover remained from fresh, in. ensilage
and no danger from
frost was experienced. January 15th !
1 opened second (5 pit. 'to Temperature 140
decrees; from 8 inches of mold
and rot on too; sides c,...siderbly rot-
moldjei.s.iaire more
watery than first pit, All excepting
t h e top and sides near the board was
good. At a fair estimate there was
about 3 times as much loss in second
pit opened as in the first. This 1 at-
tribute to the corn being much green
er when cut, and a few loads lying in
heaps during a rain storm, and not
