DEAR SIR: Meeting your call for
dandeliOn seeds in the FLORIDIAN, and
your suggestion as to exchanges among
the members Of the State Horticultural
Society, l, by to days mail, send you a
box OF seeds sufficient to plant quite an
area in dandelions The seeds Were given
to me by my friend Mr.. Moses Gould of
Bradford, n. II and are fresh from his
this seasons crop. l think more can be
had OF him if wanted. l do not know
the best time to plant. butshould suppose
it would be well to put the seed in the
ground as early as danger Of frost is past.

Remember that good seed is an essentia
item in growing good crop.
Generally now the quicker the hogs are
fattened and marketed the better the profit.
Manure can not contain anything not in
food supplied. The quality Of the manure
depends largely upon the feed.
If we were each mindful of all the little
leaks and losses about the farm, we would
in all probability have less occasion 10
find fault.
That agriculture has attractions for
women is proved by the fact that in the
State of Iowa alone one thousand women
own farms and cultivate them.
Farm, Stock and Home is sure it
doesn't pay to thresh the oats or husk the
corn for feeding on the place.

To All Oorrespondents.

It pleases us to know that the farmers
are asking many questions concerning
future farming in Florida. Its good sign
and shows that there is an awakening all
along the line.
One of the objects of this article is to
inform the large number of farmers who
have written to US, asking pertinent ques-
lions, that it is impossible from financial
standpoint to answer them by letter, but
will gladly do so through these columns,
oftmes we receive "knotty" questions
that we are not conversant with, then we
haYe to apply to those who are better
versed for an answer, which causes delay.
Be patient kind reader, we will get around
to your case in due course Of time.
In the future we will carefully file all
questions where an answer is desired
and bunch them so that we can answer q
large number of readers with one letter.
Far away in the country as we are, with
a long mile between us and the nearest
white neighbor and statistics scarce per-
cludes the possibility of very prompt
answers
This we have to say in order that those
who have written us may see that our in
tentions are good and there is no desire on
our part to neglect them, but simply in
ability to secure the information required
to make exact answers to the queries
propounded.

A great deal of tobacco raised In Missoul

A great deal of tobacco raised In Missouri
is exported direct to Germany. 1t is not
the choicest leaf, but the coarse. large
black variety that is grown on rich bottom
land in St. Charles and the other river
counties along the Missouri. The Ger
mans must mix it with other kinds OF to-
bacco to temper it, for it is too strong to
smoke without being modified with an adj
mixture of weaker leaf but the German
factories adjust it to the taste of their Gus
toners, and it must find ready sale for
the demand is constant and uniform.
There was a time when hundreds upon
hundreds of hogsheads of tobacco stems
went abroad, but most of these are now
kept at home, and only the leaf is shipped.
The stems cannot be used in adulterating
smoking tobacco to any considerable ex-
tent, for the smoke of the stems has
biting quality that renders it very disagree
able, and when smoking tobacco bites the
tongue there is probably good deal of
stem in it.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Remarkable Feat OF Strength.

E. P. Kendall gave a remarkable ex-
hibition Of his skill and strength with a
ten-pound dumbbell at noontime. He
matched himself against eight strong
men employed upon the grade work
about the county court house, and
agreed to put up from shoulder to arms
length a ten-pound dumbbell more times
than the eight men could. Kendall has
a limb which makes it necessary for him
to use clutches, and as he is of very
slight build the result of the contest ap-
peared to be foregone conclusion.
One after another the eight men took
their places, Kendall keeping time with
each one, and after the eighth had
dropped his arm from sheer exhaustion
Kendall smiled pleasantly and ran up
his score Of consecutive lifts to an even
1000. His best score with twelve-pound
bell is $500 lifts, and he has brother
who holds the worlds championship

Why is good tobacco worth from forty

duction in good tobacco. 1t requires the

ninety cents or more. The trouble with
tobacco growers is just what my cores

Tobacco requires a great deal of atten-

Firing Tobacco.

We publish in this issue letter to the
Hopknsvile Kentuckian concerning the
practice of firing" tobacco, which the
writer much disapproves of, and advises
| the farmers to discontinue. His principal
| reason for disseminating the practice is
that it is useless, detrimental to the leaf,
and prevents its sale TO the home manufac-
turers The argument that it is useless can
be questioned, for experience has shown
that tobacco will not keep unless some sort
of preservation is applied to it, and exper-
fence has also shown that this method of
firing" answers the purpose very we'll.
The method of curing by the patent barn.
is excellent, as the results have demOnstra-
ted, but it is more costly and requires more
attention than the old method, being more
complicated than the present simple one.
The tobacco growers of hOgshead tobacco
have. learned the present method from their
fathers, are thoroughly familiar with it,
and 1t would be unwise to change until
perfectly familiar with that which is to
time is spent in caring for the tobacco
while firing is not tenable. To do
a thing we'll requires time TO
do it. ANY other process will need
as close attention otherwise the results will
often prove as disastrous as they have by the
present method. Much good tobacco is
often cooked true, but good tobacco can he
ruined by other systems if not properly
taken care Of ut will not keep" says the
writer, but is it not true that those markets
where fired" tobacco is sold have been
more prosperous than those where it was
not practiced. 1t seems that there has
been no complaint from the foreign trade
that tobacco cured in this way does not
keep. The home trade does not take all the
tobacco we grow, and il would be foolish
to prepare tobacco solely for it. The
home manufacturers may object to the
firing" process, but the English manufact-
urers readily buy goods prepared for keep
ing in this manner, and if English con-
sumers disliked the tobacco we should
have 80 heard before this day.
The growers had better keep to the old
method until some equally simple and
non-costly one is introduced. They may
still continue to burn their barns and cook
their tobacco, but so would they continue
10 meet with misfortunes by any other
process if they neglected to pay attention
to it-New York Tobacco Leaf

About PhOaDhateS.

AT recent sitting with our bright and
pleasant state chemist, DR.. Norman Rob-
lnson, we gained valuable information
about phosphates. He said if our phos-
pilates can be properly utilized there is
no necessity OF buying those from other
states: First, it is highly necessary that
each farmer should know what his soil
needs. There are lands in the state that
phospbates will injure. Our low grade
phosphates contain rs per cent. of phos-
phoric acid. The raw phosphate is soft
when found; spread it upon the ground
and it becomes hard and there is no tell
ing when it will do good work. In most
cases the raw goods will have to have
some sort of treatment, fine grinding
for instance. then uniform and reliable
results can be obtained. If mixed with
well rO'ted stable manure or decompOsed
vegetable matter it will bring good re-
turns. This can be done without grind
ing.
All the low grades from the mine con-
tain more or less of magnesia, lime and
oxide Of iron. When purchasing get the
sand phosphate, because it is covered
with bone phosphate, then pulverize it.
It is, as before stated, soft and friable.
he advises one and all who can to make
experiments with our home phosphates.
If properly and accurately made they
will be actual and better in the long run
than his or any other laboratory can fur
nish. The professor told us many other
things about farm life that we hope will
be Of value to us and others in the flu
ture. L would be most excellent idea

the same, then impart the good results

The Cuban tobacco enjoys high repu-
tation, but only few districts in Cuba pro-
duce the best varieties. For aroma, COM
bustibility, elasticity and fineness of text
| ure the tobacco of the Manacaragua Valley
is unsurpassed by any. Its excellence is,
no doubt, due to some peculiar quality of
the soil, though that connot be stated, as
no analysis has been made It is said to
be sandy loan, and must be very rich,
for, although it has been cultivated for
hundreds of years, no fertilizer of any de-
scription is employed.
The valley is watered by arroyas, or
brooks, which flow from the mountains in
to the River Arimao, and curious thing
about the river is that. contrary to the usu-
al practice of tropical streams, there is
rarely flood, the river remaining nearly
stationary all the year. The seed is sown
broadcast in the nursery toward the end Of
August, and the plants are set out when
about four inches high. The utmost care
is taken in cleaning and pruning, and all
the worms and other insects are picked of
by hand. The first cutting of leaves is
about four months after planting, the other
cuttings according to circumstances.
The leaves are hung on poles and left in
the open air for day or two, guarding,
however, against rain; then are taken to
the drying house and treated much as to-
bacco is cured elsewhere, save that a fer
mented solution of the tobacco stems is
sprinkled over them from time to time in
the process of drying. The packing is done
in palm bark, and the bales are tied with
bark ropes. The cultivation is all in the
hands Ofsmall planters, who do most of
the work themselves. One man can at
