Pineapple Culture in Florida.

Thos. +. Richards, Indian River,
Fla, writes to the american Agricult-
Urist: came to Florida in the fall OF
1879 with impaired health and rot def
mite ideas as to what business | should
engage in. | settled on the banks of
the Indian river and found it free from
malaria and frosts. | decided to en-
bark in pine-apples, though | had it
all to learn, and no books or papers
threw any light upon the business. |
knew nothing of the kind of soil re-
quired for pine-apples or what culture
they required. But upon the advice of
neighbors obtained 10000 plants at
$40 per thousand and set them out.
They looked well for some four months
when they began to die in the heart or
bud. Nothing could save them; they
all died out. abandoned the land and
cam, across the sound and planted
few plants in my present situation and
they grew well. Finally | found
out why the first ones died, which was
my first lesson in pineapple culture.
The fact is, the pineapple will not
grow in shell land. Raw shell, either
fine or coarse, will kill pineapple
plants. In 1881 put out good patch
of pineapple plants; they grew well
and kept it, and have every year in
creased the number, until now | have
some 100000 under culture. With the
same amount of labor as is put into
orange culture there is more to be real
lied, for pineapples bring returns so
much sooner. We set 16, 900 per acre,
at a cost of $3.50 for plants. They can
be bought for less, but that is the price
of the best; and the second year from
planting they will yield nearly as much
per acre as a ten-y ear-old orange grove.
There is not as much land as reported
in South Florida that can produce them
without protection, but it would pay
to protect them. Where there is no
danger from heavy freezing very
slight covering will keep off frost.
| am sure there will never be an
over-production of this fruit which
proved excellent and had a fine bouquet.
also make cider from it; the acid of
the pine is one of the best for the
stomach. Vinegar is also made from
the juice which discounts Northern
cider vinegar. think good article
of brandy could be made from pine
apples, as there is great amount of
saccharine matter in them. They are
also canned, so that all can be used.
Pineapple growing will be the chief
industry in this part of the State in the
near future. have q few new vare-
ties of pine-apples, some being much
better than the standard sorts. The
Egyptian Queen is a better for most
purposes, but it is not good canned.
The large pines, such as Trinidad, are
shy bearers and rather coarse fruit,
but they are very handsome and bring
good price, from 81 to $3.50 per lp-
pie.

Feeding the Early Broiiers.

The Matching of early breilers will
soon begin, as the incubators enable
the poultrymen TO get the young chicks
out before Christmas. As soon as the
chicks are Matched they must DO put
In warm place. of ninety degrees
temperature, and no food allowed for
thirty-six hours after they are Matched.
If they crowd in the brooder it indi-
Gates that the brooder is not warm
enough, but if they spread out, and
keep near the edges Of the brooder, it
shows that the chicks are comfortable.
The first food should be stale bread
dipped in fresh milk and squeezed dry,
being placed before them in little
troughs made of lath. Give them this
three times a day, but keep a little
trough of clean, graduated oatmeal
before them all the time. so that they
can help themselves. Three times a
week raw egg may be beaten
and mixed with the bread and
milk. Hard-boiled eggs cause bowel
disease, and so will too much meat,
but little meat may be given them,
chopped fine, twice week. One raw
egg for twenty-five chicks is about cor
rect Mashed potato is always ex-
celent, and after the chicks are week
old they may be given cracked corn
and screenings instead of the granulat-
ed oatmeal, which is expensive. Give
whole wheat as soon as they are large
enough to eat it, and green food of any
kind may be given, though it is not es-
sential at first
II bowel disease appears, the chances
are that the heat is insufficient. If the
chicks become droopy. and appear
sleepy, look on their heads and necks
for the large body lice. If they have
leg weakness, the floor of the brooder
is too warm, but if they havele weak
ness with good appetites, and endeavor
to run about on their knees. it is due
to rapid growth, and such chicks will
soon recover. Keep water before them,
but they must only get their bills in to
drink. as dampness is fatal to young
chicks.
Do not attempt 20 veDtilate the
