Our river men think the com
pletion of the railroad from Mar
gerum, on the M. g. G. to the Ten
nessee River at RivertOn will
materially increase their business.
And right now would be a good
time to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
putting in a light mail and passen,
ger steamer to make daily trips
between this place and Riverton.

and last Monday Alcorn County

be secured to Hardin County and

County having two railroads al
ready, knows better the advan-

county that has no roads, and if

The Japan Pea.

Has any one in Florida ever raised Ja-
pan peas? They grow on bush about
two or three feet high, bushy with much
foliage, bearing large number of small
pods which contain but few seed, which
are yellow, round, very hard and weevil-
proof. TO make them palatable they
must be soaked in water for night pre-
ceeding the day they are to be used then
cook as other beans. They have taste
of their own, but more agreeable than the
COW pea which is eaten by so many peo-
pie. They are very prolific. 1 plant
ed last year quart and used them once
aweek during the winter, besides savinga
half peck for seed. They grow best plant
ed and cultivated like cotton. When the
pods ripen they must be picked before
they burst and scatter the seeds. AS so
many plants from Japan do well in Flor
ida, should think that this bean would
be valuable. The people should try them,
and anything that will keep them inde-

Protecting Plants from Sun and
Frost.

Vegetables in summer are very desira-
bile in all ATTITUDES, and especially SO in
the South. To grow many of them sue
cessfully in Florida at this season of the
year partial shade is necessary. The
cheapest and a very convenient way to
provide this is by the use of grain and
fertilizer sacks ripped open and two edges
tackled to light strips of wood of appro-
pirate lengths. These can be supported
above the plants by stakes driven at
proper distances, on the outer side OF
which nails are driven, or holes arebored,
diagonally at the proper height. Nails
placed in the holes will form a support
for the ends OF the protecting frames,
which can be raised higher on the stakes
when required by the growth of the plants.
Should more humid atmosphere be re
quired, place like protecting pieces of suit
able length and width at the sides and
ends, as well as over the plants, aid
sprinkle the water on recovering. This
will prove very invigorating to many
plants and check the evaporation
of moisture from the ground. The shad-
ing cloth should be removed just before
sunset and be replaced in the morning be-

tomato crop. | clear a piece OF low, heavy
land, with hard subsoil and a heavy
growth of palmetto, slash pine, gallberry,
etc. Plow deep several times and bed up
in beds eight or twelve feet wide. Dig
surface drains if necessary. Thoroughly
enrich your seed bed, and provide some
covering if you want early tomatoes.
The Acme is a good variety, but the
Trophy is better if you can get good
strain that will produce smooth fruit. A
few days before your plants are ready to
set, lay off rows four feet apart in the
rows; put a good shove!ful of stable ma
nure in each hole, fill up with soil and set
your plants. Cultivate thoroughly and
you will be surprised, not only at the
quantity but the quality of the fruit

Four Acres Enough.

Buy four acres of land. Clear, fence and
cut surface ditch around it, and plant
out Florida lemons, seventy to the acre.
AS soon as large enough bud all but two
or three $50 as to have lemons at home
for lemonade making, bread and pies
Then prepare the land by plowing, har-
rowing and fertilizing, and plant field
crops or vegetables, and in working the
crop you work your trees, and you will
soon have bearing orange grove that
has cost you nothing. You will have no
foOt-rot or disease in your trees, and the
drouth will not affect them as bad as
seedlings. Buy pony-horse and wagon
and COW. Teach the cowto eat and re-
move the grass from the lot. Haul muck
to your grove in the dry season. Buy a.
good SOW, and you can always have
pork, and then you will have no need of
grumbling about your neighbours hogs
getting in your field, as you must of
course fence to keep your own out. The
four acres well cultivated and fertilized
will, with irrigation, produce more than
forty acres carelessly cultivated You
can also plant q guava between each
