PREPARATION OF SEED BEDS.

PREPARATION OF SEED BEDS.
About the latter part of December pre-
pare your seed beds by selecting, if con-
venient, piece Of fresh ground or new
ground and clearing off the brush; then
cover the beds with a heavy layer of
brush and small growth, and let it dry.
About the first OF January burn off this
brush, which should leave a heavy mass
Of ashes. After removing all unburned
wood, dig up the ground some six inches
deep, rake level and smooth, lay off in
beds feet wide, with a pathway Of say
foot between; sow these beds carefully
In drills one foot apart, and when the
plants come up cover them carefully with
dead brush.
SUPERFICIES OF PLANT BEDS PER ACRE.
About 80 square yards of plant bed
should be prepared for each acre of con-
templated crop. Looking over my Jour
nal | find that for the crop of 184l,
planted January 10, 92o square yards !
January 26, 600 square yards; February
4, 800 square yards March 6, 100 square
yards. The crop planted in ls4l was
about % acres. First seeds came up
February 10th, or in 20 days. First
plants set out April 3, 81 days old. First

ners of the squares thus made form a
conical hill; leave the land thus pre-
pared until you are ready to transplant
from your plant beds. AT that time the
hoe will pass over, cutting down these
cones just before your planters, and only
so many as that planting may require
You have thus fresh clean hill for
your young plants. Your transplanting
will mostly be done during what are
called seasons, viz: periods of rainfall,
consequently will cover considerable
period. Since the necessity of having a
series of plant beds, as above, for if the
whole ground was planted in seed at the
same time, many of your plants would
be too large or "long-legged" when the
later seasons offered themselves.
THE CULTIVATION
Is simple, shallow blowing with sweep,
and hoe keeping the crop clean.
HARVESTING.
When the tobacco is ready for the
knife, careful hands splitting each plant
as it stands in the field from top to bot
tom, and then cutting it off below the split,
will lay it carefully on the ground, where
it will remain until the leaves and stems
wilt enough to be handled without
breaking. They can then be carried to
the house in any way most economical,
either by hand or on sticks suspended on
a wagon frame constructed for the pur-
pose.
HOUSING.

beams crossing the house at intervals Of

FLORIDA'S FOOD FISHES.
BY F. G. M. BoGGEss, OF OGDEN CRY.


Of the food fishes of South Florida
there are many varieties. The bass or
speckeled trout, cat apd Dream, of sew
eral kinds, inhabit the fresh water rivers,
creeks, lakes, and ponds; they multiply rap
idly mostly in ponds. If we have very
dry summer, so the ponds dry up, mil
lions die, and the following year there is
not much sport in fishing or eating them.
They do not raise much in rivers, as the
gar and small shark eat them as fast as
raised. 1t is surprising how rapidly they
raise. A pond will 60 dry and all the
fish will die, and the next dry season
there are millions of fish, many of them
large enough to eat. Any one could
have plenty of fish by keeping the ALI
gators killed out, as they principally
subsist on fish. The fresh water trout
grows to weigh 1s pounds, but a two
pound trout is not to be thrown away.
The United States Fish Commission
have put several millions of shad in diff
ferent waters they are not large enough
to catch nor have they been put in South
Florida long enough to give correct in
formation about them. The writer never
saw one.
If there was some way to get rid of the
gar, the waters would be alive with

FLORHDA'S CLIMATE AND
HEALEHFULNES

Florida is now attracting and will con-
tinue to attract more attention than any
State in the Union.
In a notable sketch of this remarkable
State Judge Knapp says:
Earth has but one Florida. One
peninsula in all earth is washed on the
west, south and east by the greatest,
warmest of all rivers, 'The River of the
Ocean, but one region in America, one
place in all earth over which devastating
cyclones and tornadoes do not pass, car
rying death and destruction in their path ;
but one semi-tropical land over which
siroccoes do not blow and parch but one
habitant for plants, animals and men that
is daily famed by ocean breezes, and
where men every day breathe basamic
odors from plants, trees and flowers
whose equally tempered atmosphere is
health-that peninsula is Florida. 1t is

Father to His children, long reserved,
but revealed at this last day, DOS.
sessing treasures such as none of
her sister States possess, or can
secure. Florida is Incompatible with all
other countries and regions. Some would
compare it with Italy. There can be no
com arison except by contrast. Italy is
a region of hills and mountains, snow
capped during large part of the year.
Florida is nearly plain, and in most of
it snow was never seen and nowhere lies.
Italy is swept by cold mountain winds in
winter, driving men and beasts to hyemal
quarters, and by hot, relaxing siroccoes
in summer. Florida Is free from both of
these extremes. Italy is often parched
with drouths, making irrigation neces-
sity to the growth of vegetation. Florida
has rains we'll distributed throughout the
year. Italy is peninsula extending in

fishes. The writer is unable to enumer-
ate the many species of fishes that are in
Charlotte IIarbor. The principal food
fishes are mulet, grouper, bass or red
fish, jacks, sheephead, pompano, tarpon,
sailors choice and snappers.
The fish used principally for commerce
are mullet. They are caught extensively
in fall and winter. There is now loca ted
in Charlotte Harbor four large fisheries,
having as many as thirty men to
ranch, and catching them with senes one
fourth of mile long. Every ranch has
its own schooner, that carries the mulets
to Cuba, where they find ready sale for
both the fish and also the roe.
The mullet are diminishing yearly, as
they are caught all through spawning
season. They are split in the back,
through the head and dry sailed
There is tax levied by the State on
all foreign fisheries. The law is evaded
by citizens of the State, being at the head
of all of them. All of them are run by
Spaniards except one, and all of them are
owned and conducted by citizens Of
Florida.
The State derives no revenue, and the
mullet are getting less in number yearly.
The grouper is caught with hook and
line and carried by smacks in nets alive
to Cuba, and sold alive, bringing remuner-
ative prices. They are classed by most
persons as the finest food fish caught
in the Gulf of Mexico. Catching
them is fine sport, as they bite very rap
idly. They are caught among rocks in
deep water and resemble the bass or

fresh water tout, though superior table
fish
There is now many men engaged in
fishing in Charlotte lIarbor and shipping
them i'll ice, using seins and cast nets.
From present appearances it seems
that the fish would nearly disappear in a
few more years unless there is some way
to prevent them from being caught during
spawning season.
AS to food fishes, any one can have fish
every day in the year, that are fat, as
when some are out of season others are
in. 1t is interesting to be at fish ranch
when they make haul, catching at one
time twenty wagon loads of all kinds,
from the toad fish to the large shark,
which hover around school of mullet
and often bite the seine and turn the
whole catch out. Sharks and porpoises
are caught for the oil and to make fish
guano.
In the Legislature, at it's last session,
bill was introduced to protect the food
fishes. 1t was so complicated that it
failed to become a law. Some law
should be passed to protect our food
fishes; as it is at present, mullet,

half dozen long seines and the same

straddled over sticks long enc ngh to reach
from beam to beam-is suspended by
these sticks between these beams, begin
ming with the uppermost tier Of beams
and placing the sticks so that the sus-
pended tobacco will not touch the sticks
previously laid; but, when this tobacco,
in process of curing, "talls" or shrinks SO
As to give space, then, beginning at the
first suspension, 1t is closed up, still with
out crowding, and this process is contin-
ued until the tobacco is completely cured
AS room is made upon the upper tiers,
the sticks are moved up from the lower,
thus giving room for future cuttings.
In damp weather stove might be
protitably employed in the house.
BULKING.
AS the tobacco cures in the upper tiers,
taking advantage of early morning or
moist weather, it is taken down, removed
from the sticks, and laid carefully and
smoothly in long narrow banks in the
lower part of the house, after being strips
ed from the stalk and tied in hands of
say a dozen leaves; here the curing goe-
on. In dry weather, or as the day ad-
vances, this tobacco becomes too dry and
brittle to be handled, and until it be
brought into cease" either by moist
weather or by sprinkling and covering
with damp cloth, it cannot be handled
without great loss.
sTEMM1NG.
Bringing the tobacco into "case," the
"hands" are carefully taken from the
bulk, and the small end of the leaf stem
in one hand and the folded leaf taken in
the other, the stem is drawn cleanly from
the leaf, and these pieces, now ready for
the cigar maker, are laid carefully and
smoothly between damp cloths and car
ried to the factory.
