Bananas and Plantalns.

A pound of bananas contains more
nutriment than three pounds of meat or
many pounds of potatoes, while as a
food it is in every sense of the word far
superior to the best wheaton bread. Al
though 1t grows spontaneously through
out the trppics, when cultivated its yield
Is prudigious, for an acre of ground
planted with bananas will return, &C.
cording to Humboldt, as much food ma
terial as thirty acres of wheat or
over 100 acres of potatoes. The banana,
then, Is the bread of millions who could
not subsist without 1t. In Brazil it Is the
principal food of the laboring Glasses,
while 1t is no less priced in the island of
Cuba. Indeed, in the latter country the
sugar-planters grow orchards of it ex-
pressly for the consumption of their
slaves. Every day each hand receives
his ration of salt fish or dried beef,
