Gbrrespondence of the Detroit Aree Press. It requires very little money to set one's self up in Florida. Let us assume that a man with family has $2,000. He is absolutely In-. dependent. For $100 he can buy 100 acres of good land. For an additional $100 he can clear up and fence such as he needs. His orange grove will not need fencing. A mule and farm implements will cost $250. A house and outbuild ings will cost $400. Cheap furni ture can be had for $100. He will thus have expended '$950. He should then buy 400 orange trees four years old ; these would cost him $1 a piece, and ten cents each to set them out. He will then have his home, 100 acres of land, partial, ly cleared and fenced, a mule and farming implements, and a good young orange grove. All this will here cost him $1,890. He will have $600 left with which to cover all contingencies until his grove gets! to bearing. He can then go to work to support himself for four years. He will find that he has the richest sort of farming lan d.! Good crops can be grown with surprising ease. He can raise 200 bushels of sweet potatoes to the acre. Sugar cane grows as well as it does in Cuba, and with careful farming can be made to clear $100 to the acre and upwards. If he is near a city, a navigable river, or a railroad, he can mke truck farming very profitable. He can raise two crops of vegetables every year. He will find that the lakes swarm with fish and duck, and the w6dds abound with game. If he has ordinary industry he can not only support himself, but can lay up a little money while he is waiting. WHERE THE PROFIT COMES IN. In the third year after his grove of four-year old trees has been set out lie will get a few oranges, possibly $100 worth. The fourth year will give him an average of 100 oranges to the tree or 40,000 to the grove. Then he can sell at say $1.50 per hundred or six $600 for the crop. In the fifth and sixth years he will have 500 or 800 to the tree, or 200,000 to 250,000 oranges. These be can sell at $1.50 per hun dred, or $3,000 to $8,500 for the crop. This income will go up to $5.000, with an annual cost of $800 to $600. If he is wise he will have added a certain number of trees to his grove every year, so that he will have new trees coming into bearing every season. Let us supp:>se, however, that a man comes to Florida with only $250 in his pocket. That is, he has this sum in his pocket when he reaches his destination. He must, of course, begin on an humble scale. In the first place, lie pays nothing for his land, entering a homestead. He need not even pay the entry fee. For $25 he can put up a good; log house. He might buy 200. seedlings at twenty cents each, and have them set out. The whole cost' will be *50. He can bire a mule, and for $20 buy all the necessary implements. He will then have spent $100. He must clear his land as he needs it himself, or he can hire some help. If he finds that he can succeed in digging a living out of the ground, he might invest $50 of his remaining *150 in fifty four-year old trees, for of course it is essential to get money from his grove as soon as possible. In four years he will begin to get help from his grove, anS i seVen years it will more thaui sppot hirm. Of course, he will ha*e added^to It from year to year, and in 'teffegra he may be aeounted' fairly hide pendent, There we'be h1'dp o came to 1florld~ ne cirbaisMidoes 1e~ ,wil~ll 1 on atw. himse,lf and his family comfortably during the six years, and now is a rich man. He has 480 trees, of these 80 bore 400 oranges, each the sixth year, and 180 trees 100 each; in all 45,000 oranges, for which he received $700. These trees bore nearly twice as much the next year, and 100 new trees came in. He was taxed for $10,800 in the sixth. year after he had settled, and had money in pocket and a good home. As a sample of his crops, I may mention that he took 960 bushels of sweet potatoes out of a three-acre field in one year. Mr. Steller, a harness,maker, .so broken down with consumption that he .was utterly worthless in his trade, came to Florida and settled in Halifax county, four years before the time at which the estimate quoted was made. He had four in famil and $60 in cash in his pocket. He supported his family the first year by spending $40 of his capital. The secoud year he cleared $70 in cash, and in the third year $150. He put out no orange trees the first year, but planted several hundred seed lings. The second year he put out fifty four-year old trees, and the next year 150. He had at the end of the fourth year a grove of seed lings, some 600, worth the next spring $1 a piece, and fifty tress that would commence bearing the next spring and 150 that would commence the year after. He, re fused in the fourth year $5,000 in cash for the place he had entered as a homestead, and which had cost him nothing. By this time he is doubtless independently comforta. ble. He has - only thirteen acres under cultivation. Another case is furnished by three brothers and a sister named Batram. They seem to have been in some manner proteges of Mrs. Harriet Boocher Stowo. They had no money when they-came to Florida, but cleared a few acres and went to work. They determined to raise vegetables for Jacksonville, and the Northern markets. They cleared a few acres. They had, when they furnihed the estimate I saw, ten acres under cultivati.oiifnnd: fence They had a fine grore of 8.00 treev just beginning to fear. .They a 200 trees of other fruits sot'OUt and bananas, figs pineapples and grapes in large quantities. They had a, nursery of 5,000 :seedlings then three years old, lacking only a fe& months of being worth $1 each for transplanting. They had built a large house, and under the supervision of their sister it was filled with boarders- every winter. Their place would readily command $25,000 and is worth'aoi.. ble that to them. A TIMELY DOSE OF SClIENcK's Man. drake Pills is sure to prevent an attack of billiousness, when a short neglect of the warning symptoms may develop a serious case of fever, either billions, intermittent, or typhoid. Schenck's Mandrake Pills remove all causes of biliousness, prormitly start the secretions of the livex, and give a healthy tone to the entire system. It is no ordiniary discovery in medical science to have fo d a harmless cure for this stubborn complaint, which accomplishes all the results heretofore prodneed by a free use of calomel, a mineral justly dreaded by mankind, and acknowledged to be destructive in the extreme to the huma~n sysitem, That the properties of certain vege., tables comprise all the virges of calomel without its inijuriu quali., ties, is ho6w an admitted, fact, ren dered indisputabl~e by scientifle tests, Those whMtl tio he Meandraike Pillp will be fully.satisfied. thlat the,best medicines ar&t those ,provi'ded by nature in the cbdmiou herbs) and r'oots of the fields.
