The nverage date of the first killing
frnst, of autumn is Dec. 3rd; average
date of last killing frost of spring, Feb.
10th. It will be observed that killing
frosts occurred ns early as November,
t»f the eleven November# during which
killing frosts occurred, It Is found that
eight wore observed as months when
the rainfall was below the average. It
may be well to add that there
marked deficiency In precipitation at
tills writing. The precautions taken for
Jacksonville and vicinity wl I probably
be timely for scollons as far south as
latitude 28 degrees, eliminating local
surroundings, such as proximity to bod
ies of water. Protection from frosls
and freezes Is of more Importance than
all the tarltr and llnanclal questions pos
slblo for politicians to evolve from their
storehouses of agitation.
An aoro of beans or strawberries saved
from frost and marketed early mean
money. Work Is llrst required; next,
timely frost, warnings when necessary
Of the latter, tills ofllco tries to he alive
to the needs of the producers, It is not
necessary to enter largely Into the con
ditions under whloi, frost Is formed
Methods of protection are more to the
point. Thu Idea Is to stop radiation
This Is partly accomplished by anything
that will produce a smoko, fog or even
vapor, Linds overlluwed with water
or thoroughly saturated will withstand
cold oondlLinn# which vegetation It
killed on a drier soil. The vapor In tin
air retards radiation. The renon In
smudges Is well known, and Is in gen
eral use In protecting groves. If a
choice in land can be made.lt Is al
ways best to plant to Iho east of bod let
of wator. Water Is a great protection
and may mean the salvation of a patch
of beans, or other prized products.
Dot us remember that frost Isdeposlted
when vapor of the surrounding sir I
ttondensod upon plants, and this is only
possible when radiation has gone on suf
ficiently for the temperature of the
plant to bo below freezing. Asaru'e
vegetation Is a good radiator, giving off
heal quickly, thereby reducing the
temperature of the very obj <ol sought
to bo protected, and It is fro plant that
vegetation mny be covered with hoar
frost when the temperature of the air at
higher elevation Indicates otherwise a
Tills higher temperature is caused by
boat radiated from objects near the
earth. The conditions fiivurabo h:r
frost formation are cloudless skies, suf-
flolcnlly low temperature and just
enough wind to cause a slight move
uienl of the air. With a temperature ol
30 degrees at 7 in the evening, and
southwest to north wind—light—it.
moro than probable that frost will bo
overo enough to cause damage. Ii Is a
fact that, as a rule, tt.o second night of
a oold wave is more damagi ig than the
llrst. This Is true In a majority of cases
The apparent explanation Is that nearly
all oold weather in Florida is proceed
by rains the night or day proceeding tin
llrst oold morning, and though the tem
peraturo may be decidedly low, tin
moisture In the air retards radiation
acts as an invisible cover throwing the
heat back to the plant
Among the recent addltlun.il .mxili
aries toward Irost prevention is the siv
tom of air drainage, and It possesses
some good points. The thoughtless fre
quently have obstructions to im
and south of a field. It Is evident that
this is an error The Idea Is to have
these sides free in older tt-ni the cold
air from the north and w.-si may ttnd a
ready outlet; put nothing ,n the way of
this enemy to y our , r oving llelds, on
the contrary accelerate Its movemeul by-
opening wide the gales to the leeward,
thereby creating a suction through
which the cold air will pass off.
Another point Where discretion can
be oxirolled the selection of Helds to be
p anted should receive more considera
tion than is usually given the suhj.-cl.
h is always preferable to select elevated
or level lauds to low lands. The air
near the earth sustains the superincum
bent portion above, hence its increase of
density. The cold heavy sir settles in
low places, ohihing severely if not
damaging vegnuion, and when the
temperature is 1 ov enough the "frost
streak" is much m evidence. This
Is particularly the case should a
Held be located between two hills, the
oold air flowing down the hill or moun
tain side enveloping aud condensing
upon the tender plants
I am impressed that the most potent
and available sourcis of pr le Oil on in
Florida are straw, bay, palmetto, and
probably some kind of cheap canvas
such as is in use in the Gainesville sec
tion.
During the severe winter of 1894-5,
I saw the cabbage growers save their I 1 wish pul into lay
young plants by covering with dirt; in
fact, the plants were covered with the
plow to be uncovered as soon as the
cold wave had pasted.
Admitting that protection measures
will be necessary this winter, now Is the
time to make them. Have the material
convenient, so even on short notice no
time will be lost.

last hortloultursl society meeting.staled J
that with plenty of fuel he could save •

Scrub Fowl*
The farmers of America lose millions
of dollars In the aggregate by keeping
scrub fowls. This is a proposition that
cannot be controverted. And many of
themlose money by keeping no fowls at
all for market purposes or fowls for rev
emit*. There is a great difference be
tween a mongrel and a scrub fowl
The mongrel may be a large, com
posite fowl of pure blood, that is,
may be made by a cross of pure bloods,
or a cross of pure bloods on common
stock. In either case it Is removed from
a scrub, which Is a measly little com
mon fowl, without a trace of good blood
In its composition Huch fowls, even at
maturity, do not dress more than from
one to two pounds, anti it is a good speo
imen that will dress the Utter weight.
A fe w days ago h ) ear-old hen was dressed
at the editor’s home which weighed five
and a half pounds when ready for the
pot. And It was a mongrel hen, tuo, a
cross of Browu Leghorn cock on Ply
mouth Rock hens. The hen was fat
but we could have pul a pound and a
half more of fat on, making the bird
weigh seven pounds.
Now, suppose every grower of poultry
—all breeders of fowls—was to put two
or more additional pounds of meat
the body of e ach fowl he raises, would
it not make a difference of millions of
pounds, taking the country over? It
would moro than double the total of
pounds for consumption of food Wher
a million pounds of poultry are now
raised, two million p •iiiids would be
marketed, and thus double the income
of the farmer or grower from this prod
not alone. The estimate is based on the
growing of scrub stock, which is a waste
of time and feed.
Rut this scrub stock can be improved
and doubled in size by the Introduction
of a few pure bred lomnl ns and a go >d
male or two, depending on the size of
i in* flock It -‘Fid' s, more »*»rgs would lie
produced, and of better quality, and
these would add to the farmer’s profl s,
li*t farmers everywhere improve their
fowls. There is good inouoy in I

Fruit as Medicine.
Why for ages have people eaten apple
sauce with their roast goose and suck
ling pig? S mply because the acids
and peptones in the fruit assist in di
gesting the fatsso abundant in this Mnd
of food. For the same reason ar. the
end of a heavy dinner we eat our cooked
fruits, and when we want their digestive
action even moro developed w« take
them alter dinner in their natural un
cooked state at dessert. In the past
ages instinct has taught men to do this;
today soieuoo tells them why they did
it. and this same science tells us that
fruit should be eaten as an aid to digi*s
lion of other foods much more than it is
a iw. Cultivated fruits, such as applet*,
pears, cherries, strawberries, grapes,
etc., contain on analysis very similar
proportions ot the same ingredients,
which are about one per cent, of malic
and other acids, and one per cent, of
tlesli-forming albuminoids, with over
eighty per cent, of water. Diges
tion depends upon the action of
pepsin in the stomach. Fats are
digested by these acids and the bile
from the liver. Now. the acids and
peptones tn fruit peculiarly assist the
acids of the stomach. Only lately even
royalty has been taking lemon juice
in tea instead of sugar, and lemon
juice has been prescribed largely by
physicians to help weak digestion,
simply because these acids exist very
abundantly in the lemon—Popular
Science Monthly.

Uses of the Sunflower-
The poetical nature of the sunflower
received ample attention from the pens
of writers, but its practical utility 18 just
beginning to be recognized. In China
and Russia the sunflower is considered
& valuable plant, and is raised for its
seeds al the rate of nearly half a million
p Minds annually. The poor farmers of
Italy and India Pkewise attach great
importance to tho plant, and the seeds
are harvested for antnvH hod and for
I oultry. One of the most important
uses for the sunflower seeds is as food for
poultry and cattle. It has long been
valued by progressive farmers as un
exce lent and cheap food for fowl-. Noth
ing makes them fatten quicker, and tney
will frequently leave all other food for
them. The seeds make the liens lay
better and greatly increase their weight.
They can be raised cheaper than corn
and give better results. As food for
cattle, experiments are now in progress
at several (if the experiment stations,
and the rem't so far obtained is very
satisfactory.
Sunflower oil made from th*- s eds is
in great demand in tb.s countrj. In
Russia, mi!)ions of pounds of the seeds
are raised annually for the oil, and large
quantities of this oil are exported from
that country. In the crude state It is
used by painters for inside work, but. it
does not jtiite equal linseed off for var
nish purposes. It is mixed with most
of our cheap paints, and also with many
prepared stains. Of late years efforts
have been made to refine the oil so as to
sell it in competition with olive oil. In
fact, purified sunflower oil is used quite
extensively to adulterate salad oils.
Many consider it quite equal to the ordi
nary grade of olive and almond oil for
table uses. It is of a pale yellow color,
flavorless and palatable. In Maryland,
considerable of this oil is made to supply
the Baltimore trade. After the oil is
extracted from the seeds the residue is
made into cakes for cattle food, and
while not so nutritious as the food made
from the fresh seeds, it is of consider
able value. The factories mat expr-s#
the oil sell the seed at a merely nominal j
sum. In the poorer districts of India
and Europe, a fair kind of bread is made !
from sunflower seeds, and the natives'
, ,,, tJ depend upon it for a steady article of !
, , , i diet. 1 heir cattle are fed with the sam"
diet, only the seed and heads are chop
ped up together, and even the leaves are
f< d to the animals The stalks, when I
stripped of their leaves and heads, are]
dried and used for fuel One acre of ;
sunflowers will yield a great many cords!
of good wood The stalks are large, !
tough, brittle and good burners. A few
acres of such fuel will last one winter.
There are many other use9 for sunllow-!
ers that the ingtnuity of man has de- j
vised, but the instances cited aresutli-!
cient to show the sunflower has outlived
its association with a decadent muhetic
philosophy, and become of practical
value if not of universal use.—Commer
cial Journal.

ORANGE GROVKN IN DKMAM).
Tho Tampa Tribune says that there is
going to be a big demand this winter for
orange grove property, Already real estate
agents are securing all of this class of prop
erty that is in sight and from the numerous
inquiries concerning orange groves we are
of the opinion that they will bring hand
some figures. It has already been demon
strated that Hillsborough county is in the
center of the orange belt and that in less
than five years south Florida will produce
nine-tenths of the oranges that are grown
in this state. Large, luscious, and prolific,
this fruit is destined to make this section
of the state comparatively rich. Growers
that were in independent circumstances
before the last freeeze in other portions of
Promising Plant for the South.
Crimson clover iu the south is growing
n favor. In fact, this plant is spread
ing from the Delaware let.usuia
through Virginia and further south
quite as rapidly as it is spreading
north. In some places it does not d*»
well, although where it once gels & good
stand throughout the middle south u
seems to survive the winter admirably
Il may be sown lu corn at the last c ut
vatiug, say at the rate of lo pounds ol
seed to the acre. Further South, along
the Gulf coast, there h&sbeeu no trouble
in getting a good stand front s.*ed Sown
in August or September, or even up tj
December 1, but iu many p aces ia the
extreme south, the plants turn yel.'ow
during the winter and are mostly dead
by March. At Artetia, LowudtsCounty,
Miss.. E G. Smith has raised a magnifi
cent crop this y.-ar on reddish y -dow
