for his money and labor. Fifteen tons
is said to be fair crop when cultivated
properly. AS five dollars per ton is the
price paid for such cane at present it
would certainly pay better, if sugar mills
were established at different points, than
cotton does even at 10 or II cents a
pound, price that many are inclined
to believe will never be received again.
With thousands of acres of pine land
being made ready every month for cult
walton, and with the supply Of cotton SO
greatly in excess of the demand as to
make the raising of it a source OF loss in
stead Of profit, tits certainly to be hoped
that further experiments will be made
with sugar cane and the attention of
farmers throughout this section directed
to it as crop worthy of their attention.
Once the cane is grown in sufficient guam
titles, the capital to establish sugar
works will not be lacking mirror of

Remedy for Plant Lice.

The old method of Immigration with
tobacco, so long considered the most
efficient method of destroying plant lice
or Aphis is almost, if not altogether,
abandoned by professional florists. To
accomplish the desired results tobacco
dust was also used. This, when busted
over the foliage OF the young plants, by
means of bellows, destroyed the lice
quite effectively, and with much less
trouble, But it's use gave the plants an
untidy appearance, so that better
methods were sought, and soon found.
Now, the favored remedy is to scatter
tobacco stems among the plants. If
bedded out, the surface between the plants
is entirely covered with stems. Tobacco
stems are also placed on the water or
steam pipes. For house plants, thestems
should be cut short and scattered over
the soil in the pots, which, not only kills
the lice that infest the tops, but the root
aphis as we'll. These underground enc
mics, are more injurious than those pre-
scented to view, and often kill the plant
without our knowing the real cause of it's
death. The water applied will carry
sufficient strength of the tobacco to the
roots to free them from insect enemies.
At the same time tobacco stems are one
of the best fertilizers that can be used
They contain more plant food than can
be found in the same given amount of
any other vegetable substance, and no
danger can arise from too liberal use of
them.-American Agriculturist.

Sugar Cane on Pine Land.

1t may be that among the crops that
will some day be raised on the land in
Georgia, South Carolina, Florida and
Alabama which is being rapidly cleared
of timber by the combined efforts of
navel stores men, the lumber men and
the farmers, that of sugar cane will be
classed as one of the most important.
Experiments made in the culture of
sugar cane on pine lands in Florida and
Alabama have demonstrated that it can
be grown at a profit. The cane of
course, is not as heavy as on the rich al
luvisl soils, but it is still sufficiently
large to insure the planter good return

The Industrial American writing about
Florida's natural products has the fol-
lowing: pineapple culture has rap
idly increased and the profits reported
are enormous. Thousands of acres of
new plantations have been set this year
and the crop of 1898 will >surpass any
ever grown. The area of pineapple
culture extends from the head of Indian
River to the extreme southern part of
the peninsula, including the KEYS along
the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. Some
growers are reported as receiving from
$500 to 5000 per acre for their crops.
while one grower is reported to have re-
ceived$100O per acre for his fruit and 49,
SO per acre for his slips sold to the'rgrow-
ers-making total of 81 ,25O per acre. It
will thus be seen that our estimate of
5000 profit, in our plan for a pineapple
plantation, at the end of the third wear
is a very conservative one. But we nre.
fer to be on the safe side in so serions

and a few the week before Mr.. Clock
on the west side of Lake Howard, has
been the heaviest shipper so far, and
from now on will ship continuously
until the middle of June, or until toma-
toes from more northern sections are on
the market.
Mr.. Clocks tomato field is a striking
illustration of the effects of irrigation.
The vines are phenomenaily large and
vigorous and are loaded with blooms and
fruit. Competent judges who examined
the "patch'' few days ago, estimated
the yield 400 crates per acre, 300 of
which may be credited to irrigation, as
under ordinary circumstances it is an
excellent crop that will average 100
crates per acre.
If the above estimate should prove
correct and net prices throughout the
season equal those of last year, the in
creased production on four acres will re-
turn the entire cost of the i1rigating
plant-$l 800. Or to put it in another
way, Mr.. Clock would have done exceed
ingly we'll to get 1000 crates from his
ten acres without irrigation, which at
last years average would have Melted
1900. Now, if later developments
prove the correctness of this estimate
above mentioned, his ten acres should
return $4,000. This after deducting the
cost of the plant, would leaye him 81 200
with which to keep the wolf from the
door, until tomatoes bloom again.
Mr.. Clock, we believe, has fourteen
acres in the field referred to, but if we
are correctly informed, only ten acres
are irrigated.
But we have been dealing with esti-
mates, only. Laterin the season we will
give actual results from this and other
irrigated fields, and compare them with
returns from neighboring fields planted,
fortified and cultivated in the same way
and on similar soil, without irrigation.
That will show the exact value of water
in such quantities and at such times as
needed in growing tomatoes.

and always with the same result, until
the theory has been abandoned for
practice which works we'll at all times.
Underground pipes, with surface fur
rows, fulfill all the requirements and are
recognized as furnishing the only perfect
means Of irrigation.-San Francisco

Methods of Irrigation.

Methods Of Irrigation.
The great interest taken throughout
the arid region (which includes by the
way fully half the area of the United
States) in the sui ct CT irrigation has
been productive Of vast amount of dis
cnssion both in the press and elsewhere.
The ques'in how best to apply water to
growing crops is always tf interest, par
ticuarly to those " no are novlces In the
art, and vast amount " information,
some of ii OF a n ore than doubtfully use
full character, is afoat concerning the
matter.
The subject of subsir1igaticn appears
to possess a peculiar fascination Tor
many, and no amount of experience on
the part of those who have Tried this
method can convince novices that the
idea is utterly and entirely impractical
bic.
At the first glance sub-irrigation APP
pears to be perfection itself. 1t refutes
every objection that can be urged against
the surface application of water. The
theory is perfect and is as sim pie as that
two and two make four. Thus: The
primary object of irrigation is to supply
moisture to the roots of trees, vines or
growing crops. Those roots do not reach
the surface, but, on the contrary, have
universal tendency to strike downward.
Euoro +bo ,oooror ho is Qnn1iod RI
the roots the better will the object sought
be retained. Therefore surface irrigation
is tar less advisable than irrigation be-
meath the surface. Underground pipes
with openings at suitable intervals,
through which the water will escape and
supply the roots, is accordingly prefera-
BILE to the surface application of the wa
ter in open bitches or burrows. from
which it must soak into the soil to q
greater or less depth in order to reach
the roots to be benefited.
This is pretty theory, and theoreti-
cally tits perfect. There is not flaw in
it. No possible objection can be pointed
out. So let us undertake to sub-irrigate
and 60 to large expense in order to lay
the necessary pipes. 1t works like a
charm the first season. But the succeed
ing one it does not do SO well, and the
third season the trees and vines suffer
for lack of moisture and water has to be
applied on the surface. What is the
matter? A little investigation answers
the question. A section of the pipe is
taken up and found to be completely
choked with mass OF rootlets and f.
brous growth. Wherever there is the
slightest aperture these roots penetrate,
and it does not require any great length
of time to choke them up so completely
that not drop of water can find it's way
through them. Theexperiment has been
tried over and over again in California

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April 1.--Sheriff
Hamilton arrived here last night from
Kibbey, forty miles east of here having
in custody Robert and Oscar English and
Leslie Watson, charged with stealing
cattle. The men are in the county jail in
default of 81, 900 bail each.
The English brothers were surprised
and easily captured, but Watson got wind
that a warrant was out and he fed.
Judge Lee, of Kibbey, quickly gathered a
posse with Winchesters, and after a
nights chase captured him.
It is found by documents on his person
that Watson's real name is De Witt, and
it is said that he is connected with an
eastern family of high standing. The
three men capured were leaders of a
gang.
Their plan of operation has been tc
steal cattle from the range, slaughter
them, then sell the beef cutting up hides
and disposing of them so that no proof
could be obtained against them.
