pete with the Cuban and ra an elegant,
nice, moneyed crop-with lesser crop
selling for 90 cents to SIS per pound,
while the greater brings about 10 cents?
In other words the Cuban 500 pounds
will bring over $500, while the large
leafed will bring from nothing to 5000
per acre. 1t takes less barn room, less
labor, and hence there is more profit in
the lesser leaf; besides good, small leaf
is always salable, and to-day New York,
sin have moro large tobacco than the
market demands.
Florida and Cuban climates are so
nearly identical that we can compete on
equal terms in raising as fine and as
good favored tobacco as the best Ha-
vana, and the only reason we do not
do so is because we do not
know how to raise and mature the weed.
There were two farms visited where
this small-leafed tobacco is being raised
this year near Jacksonville. One barn
is full, and the other, much larger,
nearly full Of tobacco of from six to four
teen inch leaf-carefully picked as it
becomes ripe, placed in baskets, carried
to the barn, and there strung on wires.

The other has Il special house with warm
water pipes around three sides of a room,
made tight as a refrigerator box, and
heated just enough to take away that
green, immature taste of barn-cured to-

complaint of smokers against Florida
tobacco. To make this fine-leafed to-

must not use the heavy fertilizers used

Bread Fruit in the Tropics.

The bread-fruit tree, ArtocdrpuS incisG,
seen in the Dutch East Indies and in
many of the islands Of the South Seas,
grows forty to fifty feet high, the fruit
being round or slightly oval in shape,
first green, then brown, and turning yell
low when fully ripe. 1t is from five to
eight inches in diameter, and tastes in
sipid when cooked. I could not deter
mine what the taste was, unless it were
grocery store brown paper. In Samoa
and Tahiti the tree yields a succession
of two or three crops during eight months
in the year. Its fruitfulness is said to
exceed even the generous plantain, upon
which The natives of the tropics SubSiSt
almost solely where the bread-fruit is
not grown. 1t dispenses entirely with
the labor of the agriculturist, the miller,
the baker; there need be no care for seed
time or harvest; there is no threshing,
no grinding, no kneading; in fact, the
islanders Of the South Seas have their
bread ready prepared, and have only to
place it on the Goals as they need it, :"
says Ober.
This placing on the Goals is a pict-
uresque affair, like Rhode Island clam
bake. The fruit is cut up, the core re-
moved, and, hot stones having been
placed in hollow in the earth and COW
cred with leaves, the fruit is laid on top,
and again covered with leaves and hot
stones, on which more bread-fruit is
laid then another layer of leaves and
stones, and on top of all earth is heaped
to depth of six inches or more. The
hot-stone bake lasts about thirty min
uteS, and the result is a brown piece of
natural bread, white, or perhaps yellow,
inside, and very nutritious Some think
it more like the plantain than wheat
bread. 1t is almost tasteless when cooked

had theplcasure on Thursday last of
visiting the Duval Experimental Tobacco
Farm under the supervision of Col. X.
ID. Chandler. He has two barns filled
with tobacco and large siXty-foot barn
under way to hold his large crop. That
forenoon the Colonel cut and housed to-
baccO, and in the afternoon he was driv-
ing his BemiS plantcr-planting out his
fall crop. No other climate or place,
save Florida, will permit harvesting
spring, and planting a fall tobacco crop
on the same day. Hence, if our people
will master the details of tobacco grow
ing and curing we can lead the world
with this luxurious weed.
The Colonel says that he will plant and
cut tobacco until Christmas, and much
of this crop is eight feet high, with about
fifty leaves to the stalk-a ton to the
acre-largely made from crcmatOr ashes
After cutting, many suckers have been
purposoly left, which makes the field
look as if only half had been harvested.
In a month this sucker crop will furnish
eight or ten wrapper leaves per stalk
and with the lesser Gormcrly rcmoved)
top leaves, will furnish wrappers for the
whole crop, which the Colonel will have
made into cigars.
This is, in appearance, the same size
tobacco as raised in Kentucky and In
diana for plug tobacco, and the query is,

and plug tobacco, and that much horrid
trash is used for cigar filters; but it will
never come in close competition with
the wOrldrenOWned Cuban weed. Last
week Cuban tobacco salesman present

Abajo tobacco wrappers. There was
not leaf in this handful ten inches long.
| was presented with a cigar made from
seven inch wrapper leaf of Florida
tobacco by Quincy manufacturer.
This cigar was fully equal to the better
Havana-made cigar, both in body, flavor,
burning and fine appearance. This man
ufacturer said that large-leaf tobacco
was worth at Quincy, Fla, IA cents d
pound for filters and binders, and that
good seven, eight, nine and up to twelve
inch wrappers were worth from $3.50 to
$3.50 per pound; and, if extra fine in
color, even more.
Tobacco raisers of Florida must raise
tobacco to compete with the Cuban
who raises 500 pounds per acre-or else
with the Northern and Western planter,
who can raise about ton per acre.
We can do either; and the query is,

light, of a rich yellow, turning to ma
hogany in use, just right for the dug out
canoe. Then the milky juice obtained
by puncturing the bole is used as gum.
Another use is to spread it about as a
bird lime, to catch the feathered song
sters of the woods. A preparation is
also made for tatooing. Usually the
Polynesian' s house is bamboo leaves and
grass; but sometimes bread fruit uprights
and beams are used. In fact this beauti-
full and useful tree is one of the choicest
gifts of nature to the brown man of the
tropic seas. Its deeply-lObed, dark green
glossy leaves, twelve to eighteen inches
long, and it's useful if not luscious fruit,
afford him shade and food, and if he
does not like baked bread, he puts guam
titles of it in hole in the ground, often
twenty feet in diameter, changing it
from sweet to sour, in which state it
will keep for months. Some Of these
silos hold couple Of tons. The indigo
nous trees Of the West Indies and South
America which are of the ArtOcarpaceU
family, allied to the bread fruit, are the
bread nut of Jamaica, and the milk or
COW tree of Demerara. st. Vincent was
the first island of the West Indies where
the bread fruit was planted, and there it
has f1ourished to a greater extent than in
any other of the Caribbean chain, even
invading the forest edges to find a com
panion in the Trumpet tree, which looks
something like it. 1t grows on planta-
tions, in groves, and in the deeper val
leyS in wild state. When at TimOr the
easternmost island of the Dutch East
Indies, last year, | was reminded of the
strange story of the mutineers of the
"BOunty." A vessel had been sent to
Tahiti in the South Seas by West Indian
planters, expressly to get a thousand
bread fruit roots. Lieut.. Bligh, who
had sailed with Capt. Cook was in COM
mand. Having secured the required
mum Der of roots, which were put in gar
den pots and boxes, filled with earth and
stuck into spaces sawed out to receive
them in the special floor built for the
purpose in the cabin, the Bounty sailed
from the Society Islands April 4, 1889.
The famous meeting occurred twenty
three days later, and Lieut. Bligh, with
eighteen adherents, reached TimOr after
a voyage in the ships launch Of thirty
five hundred miles. The Bounty with
it's cargo of bread-fruit cuttings, finally
reached Pitcairn's, Island and was burnt
by the mutineers, who established the
famous colony, which has thrived for
more than hundred years. But bread
fruit was designed to reach the West
Indies, and in 1893, Blight succeeded in
a second expedition, and St. Vincent re-

WASHINGTON, May S.-The serious
aspect of the revolution in Nicaragua
will probably result in the United States
sending a war vessel 70 the west coast
Of the perturbed country. Such action is
being considered by Secretary Gresham,

tion that now seems imminent he will

revolt had occurred. Newspaper ac-

istration that the affair is Of no mean
dimensions.
