THE CLINTON NEW EJL
(Special correspondence)
VOr over two steaks; now the heat Das
been very trying. The thermometer has
renged between 80 and 90 in the shade dur-
ing the day and between 70 and 80 at
• night, were it not for a oonatant breeze
• the beat would be unbearable. I had often
beard that the heat of the south produced
latisitude end unnerved a man for oonstaut
haxa Work, and now I hav.e Been proofs of
oa an hande and heve personally realized
0 during these hot days. Oae simply feels
• like finding the breeziest spot and there
lyiug down to snooze. The negroes don't
appear to mind it a bit and they will work
nWeY in the eun— sometimes without a
bat—as if they enjoyed it. Vegetation
bere now is as far advanced as in our July.
The woods are in full bloom.
TREES AND 1,L0WEES
Since I last wrote the oleanders have
come out and %re a beautiful sight. There
are three colors—white. dark red and pink
•and they grow so tail and big that they
• melte a regular Shade tree. The benanas
are also in blossom and they are a curious
, eight. The big bunches we see hanging in
the shop windows grow on a very slender
etock. The mullberries are ripe, they are
the shape of our large blackberries, but not
to ray mind so nice to the taste. The
pomegranate is another shrub now in
bloom bearing a very pretty bell shape
pink flower, Of flowers the laatanas,
, Mlles, gladioli, nasturtiums, and all man-
.Eer of olimbers are in bloom. In the
• groves the orange blossoms arr changing
• into fruit, the lemons are in full bloom,
' and the plum, fig, grapes, guavit, pear, and
cherry are leafing and budding, I saw
some northern plum and app18 trees
amongst these, but they were still bare
and I was told that they stubbornly refuse
to leaf until there proper time. Our apples
amount to nothing here either the soil or
climate, or both, being unsuitable.
WHAT ABOUT NEWT?
• Most of your readers will no doubt have
the same notion as we had that fruits of all
kinds would Le plentiful here, but such is
not the case. Oranges, lemons, and straw-
berries have been plentiful but are now
getting scarce. Fortunately tor us Mr
Cameron's grove has lots of late oranges
and we can get all we want. We have
seen no bananas, or pineapples or °030a -
nuts The earliest bananas and pineapples
being such a big price in the northern cities
that they are shipped off as soon as ripe.
In the full season pineapples are cheap.
A good many fruits require an acquired
taste. For instance, the guavas in shape
and size is like our large oherries, the pen-
simmons like tomatoes, the promegranate,
• of which only the very centre is good, all
these I am told are only liked after a taste
• has been acquired for them. The great
-
staples are of course oranges and lemons,
and so I will keep my promise and give
you some particulars about ail orange
grove.
ORANGE CULTIVATION
In nearly every grove of any pretension
there are orange trees in all stages, there
aro the small seedlitig, perhaps three or
four inches high, MI comes the trans-
planted and budded tree and finally the
tree set out in its place. In all stages
these trees require a great deal of care and
attention. It is a curious sight to see
young orange trees in long rows two or
three inches high like our garden vegetables.
Along these rows every few weeks a man
goes carefully with his hoe rooting out
weeds and loosening the soil around the
roots. Budding takes places usually in
June, and every one says it is very hard
work indeed. The hardness arises from
the fact that the budder must get down on
hi knees in the hot sandy soil and work
away with a scorching sun over heart, his
body meanwhile twisted into all sorts of
yisitirs -orangeirien cared little
about special varieties, but now the new
trees budded are of special value, of course
most groves now bearing grow simply the
common sweet orange such as we get up
north. As the den, and keeps increasing,
however, for fruit of a special kind, the
, grove owners have to meet it, and so we
have brands with suoh fancy names as
• Mands.ims, Tangerines, Navel, Velvet, &c.
IRRIGATION AND TUE WET SEASON
An orange tree begins to bear when six
or seven years old, but bears only fully
when ten or twelve. On entering a grove
not. yet fully bearing a stranger is sure to
imagine that the pruning knife and trim.
sner are badly needed. Our friend Searle
hisedly o to. contain Mar:Telt.
the lower growth and shoots are all to grow
11, for a certain length of time, aim being to
have a shade over the roots, so as to keep
them moist as long as possible. Nine month
of the year are very dry. The l wet season
begins in June and lasts for three months,
but during the rest of the time artificial
watering must be done. As your readers
will likely know the orange tree never
sheds its leaves. It is undoubtedly the
scripture tree whose "leaf never fadeth and
which giveth its fruit in its season," the
bloom comes in February and March and
the fruit in the following December and
January, Of course as with allfruits there
are earlier and later varieties, but the big
shipments are made in December and
January, and by the middle of March the
groves are bare. A strange sight it is to
see the ripe fruit, green fruit and bloom all
on the same tree, this is of frequent oocur-
rence, to overcome the drawbacks of the
long dry season the larger groves are equip- I
ped with irrigating pipes supplied from im-
anense tanks. These tanks are filled by
steam pumps which pump the water from
some one of the numerous lakes found all
over the country. The small groves are
watered with a oommon water cart filled at ,
the lakes by colored workmen and hauled
by the patient mule. I visited a tank
which holds 600 barrels, this week, and
though the figures don't look much, it was,
as the boys say,"a cracker." It costs $4 to
fill it from the pump house, requiring a
half day's time. The irrigating pipes are
laid so as to shower all parts of the grove.
LOTS OF WORK
A ten acre grove will keep a man with a
colored assistant busy most of the time.
Besides the watering there is the plowing,
hoeing, spraying, and fertilizing to be done.
Trees are planted about 70 to the acre so
that on 10 acres there would be 700 trees.
The planters seem to have vied with each
other in making straight rows. The trees
are set with wonderful regularity. The
plowing is done between the rows several
times a year, and closer into the trunk, the
soil around the roots is hoed. "Spraying"
means throwing some kind of liquid insect
destroyer upon the trees,usually just as the
bloom is forming into fruit. It is being done
at present. The orange parasite is so small
as to be invisibie to the naked eye. The
spraying is very carefully attended to, two
men doing only 50 trees per day. Then
there is the fertilizing, there are various
kifids of fertilizers imported, for, although
there are large Wile of pheephate it hits not
as yet been manufacturedjot fertilizing
purposes. Fertilizing is done by nom°
once and by others twice a year. 'The
raore fertilizer the more frnit,ft is an or.
algeman's maxim. The grove not &MI-
ized is certainly a poor concern.
All these tlxings require work, and I have
not yet mentioned the pioking, raeaeuriel3,
peeking and marketing. It will thus be
seen that to keep even a 10 acre grove pro-
perly a man works all the year roundabout
as bard as our northern fernier. I find I
must still write another letter, as this is
quite long enough,
SORB DRAWBACKS
Perhaps I have given too rauoh the im-
pression that Florida has no drawbacks,
but ales it has plenty of them, there are
too many creeping things to make it quite
oomfortable. A few days ago Mrs Man.
ning and a companion were walking and
came within a foot of a diamond rattle
smake, it was killed and was about three
feet in length. Its !skin, covered with"dia-
monde," was beautiful. Its eting would
have been almost sure death. Then there
are the deadly moccasin smakes and lots of
other creepers. Mosquitoes are plentiful
and so are gnats. One forgets these things,
however, as he basks in the glorious sun
and is lulled to sleep at night by the carols
of the mocking -bird and the a hip -poor -
will. A. H. MANNING.

THE SPRING.
Of all seasons in the year, is •the one for
making radical changes in regard to health.
During the winter, the system becomes
to a certain extent clogged with waste, and
the blood loaded with impurities, owing
to lack of exercise close confinement in
poorly ventilated shops and homes, and
other causes. This is the cause of the
dull, sluggish, tired feeling so general at
this season, and which must be over-
come-, or -the -health may be entirely brokab
down. Hood's Sarsaparilla has attained
the greatest popularity all over the country
as the favorite Spring Medicine. It expels
the accumulation of impurities through
the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and skin,
gives to the blood the purity and quality
necessary to good healti and overcomes
that tired feeling.
DROP YOUR BUCKET WHERE YOU
ARE.
"Oh, ship ahoy 1" rang out the cry:
"Oh, give us water or we die 1"
A voice came o'er the waters far,
"Just drop your bucket where you are."
And then they dipped and drank their fill
Of water fresh from mead and hill;
And then they knew they sailed upon
The broad mouth of the Amazon.
O'er tossing wastes we sail and cry,
"Oh, give us water or we die!"
Oh high, relentless waves we roll
Through arid climates for the soul :
'Neath pitiless skies we pant for breath
Smit with the thirst that drags to death,
And fail, while faint for fountains far,
To drop our buckets where we are.
Oh, ship ahoy 1 you're sailing on
The broad mouth of the Amazon.
Whose mighty current flows and sings
Of mountain streams and inland spring.
Of night -kissed morning's dewy balm;
Of heaven-dropt evenings twilight calm,
Of nature's pace in earth or star—
Just drop your bucket where you are.
Seek not for fresher founts afar,
Just drop your bucket where you are;
And while the ship right onward leaps
Uplift it from the exhaustless deeps;
Parch not your lips with dry despair,
The stream of hope flows everywhere.
So under every sky and star,
Just drop your bucket where you are.
OH, WHAT A COUGH .

DREAMING OF HOME.
It comes to me often in silence,
When the firelight splutter}, low—.
When the black uncertain shadows
Seem wraiths of the long ago;
Always with a throb or heartache
That thrills each puleive vein
Comes the old, unquiet longing,
For the peace of home again.
I'm sick of the roar of cities,
And of faces cold and strange;
I know where there's warmth of welcome,
And my yearning Macke range
Bach to the dear old homebtead,
With an aching muse of pain,
But there'll be joy in the corning,
When I go home again.
When I go home again I there's music
That never may die away,
And it seems that the hands of angele,
On a mystic harp at play,
Have touched with a yearning sadness
A beautiful, broken strain,
To which is my fond heart wording—
"When I go home again."
Outside of my darkening window
Is the great world's oraeh and din,
And slowly the autumn shadows
Come drifting, driftiag in,
Sobbing, the night wind murmurs
To the splash of the autumn rain ;
But I dream of the glorious greeting
When I go home again.
THE THREE LITTLE CHAIRS,
They sat alone by the bright wood fire,
The grey•haired dame and the aged sire,
Dreaming of days gone by:
The tear drops fall on each aged cheek
They both had thoughts that they could
not speak,
As each heart uttered a sigh.
For their sad and fearful eyes desoried
The three little chairs placed aide by
side,
Against the sitting -room wall
Old.fashioned enough as there they
abed,
Their seats of flag and their frames of
wood,
With their backs so straight and tall.
Then the sire shook his silvery head,
And with trembling voice he gently said—
"Mother, those empty chairs!
They bring us such sad, sari thoughts to.
' night,
We'll put them forever out of sight
In the small dark room up stairs."
But she anSwered, "Father, no, not yet;
For I look at them and I forget
That the children went away.
The boys come back, and our Mary, too,
With her apron on of checkered blue,
And sit here every day.
"Johnny still whittles a ship's tall masts,
And Willie his leaden bullets casts,
While Mary her patchwork sews;
At evening time three childish prayers
Go up to God from these little chairs,
So softly that no one knows,
"Johnny comes back from the billowy
deep,
Willie wakes from his battle -field sleep
To say a good -night to me;
Mary's wife and mother no more.
But a tired child whose play -time is o'er
And comes to rest on my knee.
"So let them stand there, though ,empty
now
And every time when alone we bow
At the Father's throne to pray,
'We'll ask to meet the children above
In our Saviour's home of rest and love,
Where no child goat h away."
