carefully the experiments in fruit cult
ure in the various portions Of the coun-
try in recent years. The comparisons
that can now be made are of much prac
tical value in view Of the great pOssibii-
ties of fruit production in the United
States, and the Importance of ascertain
ing where the best results can be contained.
One of the greatest surprises to many
people is the relatively rapid progress of
Northern as compared with Southern
States We are so accustomed to think
ing Of sub-tropical climates as the most
varied and abundant producers OF fruits,
and Of the warmest countries as most
favorable to the culture Of SO many vari-
cites that it is natural to think Of our
own most Southern territory as the most
promising field for the extension Of fruit
growing California, however, lying in
higher latitude than Florida, South Car
DINA, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana or Texas, appears to gain
rather than to lose from year to year in
the comparison Of her products Of sub
tropical fruits with her more Southern
sisters. The States Of the most Southern
belt are making progress to be sure, and
even Texas is awakening its huge self to
the possibilities of fruit and berry cul-
ture, and Arizona and New Mexico are
credited with astonishing exhibits. The
surprises are, however, mainly, in the
showing made by more Northern States.
Colorado, for instance, is making good
her claim to being the producer of some
of the finest and most beautiful fruits,
and Washington, Idaho and Oregon are
showing a wonderful capacity for fruit
bearing. OF the distinctively Northern
fruits the best showing is said to be made
by the most Northern States in which
these fruits are grown at ALL Maine and
Michigan carry off the hOnors by their
exhibits of apples and altogether the
most Northern States, from the extreme
West to the extreme East, contribute their
full share to the striking feature of the
general showing.
These results are of special significance
to those who hold the theory that pro-
ducts attain their highest degree of per-
lection in the severest climates in which
they can thrive at all; that all growing
things are the gamers by resistance over
come, and produce the best results where
they are spurred to the greatest effort.
Be this as it may, it is for the South to
make good it's advantages and avail it.

Pineapple Culture in Florida
G. LOUTREL LUCAS.

EDITORIAL NoTE.-The American Po-
mological Society held it's session Of
1889 Feb. 20.22th at Ocala, in this State.
Sub-tropical fruits received full share Of
the attention of the members. Long be-
fore we had any idea We should make
Florida our home, we read with interest
the proceedings of this session of the
society, especially touching tropical
fruits and, having preserved our copy
of the publication, we now find we have
a rich fund of information to draw from,
which we shall from time to time avail
ourselves OF, for the beneftof our readers.
In this issue we present the main por-
ton of a paper on Pineapple Culture in
Florida, written by G. Loutrel Lucas,
of the Indian River Country. At that
time it had not been clearly demon
strated that pineapples could be sue
cessfully and proftably grown in the
open air anywhere else than in the Sec
ion the author of the paper resided in
aud upon the Keys at the end of the
peninsula. But time and experience
are proving that other-and more health
ful-sectiops of the State, such as the
Lake Region below the 28th parallel of
latitude in which we are located, are
fully as we'll adapted to the culture Of
this delicious fruit.-"Pineapple."l
Pineapple culture in Florida is in its
infancy, and is certainly worthy of more
attention than it now receives.
The growing of this delicious fruit in
the open air is limited to the extreme
southern portion of the peninsula, and
even there damaging frosts are liable
to occur.
There are thousands grown on the
"FIorida Keys" which the planters de-
pend upon exclusively as their living.
Being better protected there thar on the
main land, makes this industry GER
tainty.
Pine culture can be made success on
a large scale in South Florida, by the
selection of proper land and location.
The pineapple plant bears the second
year from the time of planting, and con-
tinues fruiting each succeeding year,
usually giving fve.crops, the plant oc-
cupying the ground seven years; at the
end of that time the field is plowed up,
the land allowed one years rest, then
we'll fertilized and replanted. The pine
apple plant bears fruit but once, then
dies, suckers sprouting from the base CT
the old plant, usually one, sometimes
two, three, and four; when there is
more an one the others are cut off and
planted the same as slips, leaving the
remaining sucker to do the fruiting the
next year.
Suckers are sometimes expected to
fruit in one year from the time they are
planted, but it is uncertain to expect

same. The fruit is of quite good size,
plump, sweet, juicy, Of good flavor. 1t
is the finest shipper we have. The plant
propagates slips and suckers freely, is
of vigorous growth, having leaves which
are somewhat thorny.
OF the fancy varieties, the Egyptian
Queen STANDS at the head, it being
truly the queen of pineapples; fruit of
more slender shape than the "Scarlet,"
but of good size, apple of deep golden
yellow both inside and out, of an ex
quisite strawberry flavor, flesh very
tender, including core, extremely juicy;
the eyes are small and deeply set, diff
fering from those of any other pineapple
that [ am acquainted with; foliage very
attractive, and plant vigorous--tbe best
variety we have for propagating slips
and suckers.
The Sugar Loaf is another superior
pineapple. of sugary sweetness, pleasant
flavor, flesh very tender, fruit quite juicy,
plants not so vigorous as others, but in
every way a desirable ACQUISITION.
The trinidad" and Egyptian Qucen
many mistakenly say, are the same
no mistake could be more apparent;
while the "Trinidad" grows to an eGor-
NOUS size, the Egyptian Queen is small
beside it; both fruit and f. lisge ar dis
tinct.
The "Trinidad" is not of fine quality,
but rather coarse in texture, and juice
with little or no flavor, fruit quite attrac-
tive and selling mostly on account OF lis
size.
The Ripley Qsen is, strictly speaking,
a fancy variety of little value for field
culture, but for the green house it is
truly an acquisition, being handsome
both in foliage and fruit, apple some
what small, eyes curiously marked with
bright red, plant equally RS curious.
The varieties INFESTED in this section
are Charlotte Rothchiid, Lady Beatrice,
Hampton, and Montserrat, all distributed
by the Department of Agriculture.
Pineapple culture in this section has
proved highly remunerative, and as 1
haye previously mentioned, this indus
try is young, and we have considerable
knowledge yet to gain concerning the
raising of this desirable fruit.
There are now under cultivation, at
Eden, some 100000 plants, and every
year new fields being planted swells the
amount considerably.
The shipments are beginning 10 as
sumo vast proportions, and at DO distant
date Eden will be known as one of The
largest pineapple producing sections in
the United States.

Competition in Fruit u ture

The exhibits made by the different
States at the Worlds Fair, says the New
York Review, are said to contain many
surprises for those who have not followed

any, and when fruit does show,it is usu-
ally small and unmarketable. Slips
which grow from the stalk at the base
of the apple, are the iavorite for propa-
cation. requiring less labor to prepare
for planting, and producing a field of
plants, which at bearing age, are reg
ular in size.
The usual method of preparing the
soil is to grub the land and free the
same Of all stumps, burn the brush in
small piles, and scatter the ashes we'll
over the ground; after smoothing the
land, mark it off in squares, and we are
ready to plant. There is more or less
difference of opinion as to the proper
distance apart for planting at ore time
eighteen inches each way was thought
sufficient; now, twenty two by twenty
four inches is the favorite distance.
I favor planting 3x3 feet, firmly be-
lieving that the result will be better
yield, and apples of larger size. Some
claim that by setting plants more than
two feet, the weight of the apple is Ii
able to topple the plant, thereby causing
sun scald on the fruit, but, argue, why
not take some trouble to prevent it by
stalking the plant, when the extra labor
will be amply paid for by the superior
fruit which will be produced?
The pineapple plant and the air plant
seem to bear some relation, but at the
same time the pineapple plant needs a
rich, high, dry soil, and like any crop
amply repays the owner for fertilizing
and thorough cultivation, keeping the
weeds down and the ground mellow at
all times. The principal fertilizer used
in this section is cotton.seed meal,
although ground bone, commercial ma
nures and chemicals have been expert
mented with but more time is needed
to note results. Cotton seed meal
shows a greater improvement than any
thing else that has been used up to the
present time.
I have never noted any benefits from
mulching, AMI think the plants are bet
ter off without it, as neither wet or dry
weather seems to affect them, and in
fact, know of 10 enemy except frost.
Pineapple shipments generally begin
in this section about June LIST, and ex-
tend until September, sometimes later,
as the crop does not all perfect at the
same time.
We ship in Slated boxes (having par
tition in center) usually holding seventy
five pines.
About August we begin gathering
''sIips" from the old plants, so as to get
new fields growing before cold weather.
There are quite number of varieties
of pineapples, and nearly all can be
readily distinguished, either by their
foliage or fruit.
The variety usually cultivated is the
"Scarlet," or Red Spanish, and I believe

1t has often been observed that the
natural man does not like a number
of things which are demonstrably
good for him, while exhibiting q de-
plorable fondness for even more
things which are notoriovsly bad for
him in many respects. Among these
may be named ventilation, the de-
STABILITY of which was discovered
by sanitarians, but which uninstruct-
ed mankind persists in ne
glectiDg for the greater attraction OF
coZlness. Whether this positive lik-
ing of unscientific man for q stuffy
atmosphere has any justification, Is a
question which sanitarians would
probably decline to discuss. but it
suggests itself in connection wi tn
certain experiments of DR.. Rene du
Bots Raymond, recently described to
the members of the Berlin Physiolo-
gicsl society. This communication
went to show that q sensation of
warmth ensues on immersing the
skin, say of the hand In a vessel Con-
tanning carbonic acid gas. Some
other gases produce the same effect,
but they are gases not usually found
in air. The warming sensation pro.
duced by csrbonic acid gas is COM
pared with that of air at a tempera-
ture of IS degrees Fahrenheit This
phenomenon does not yet admit of .
physical explanation, but is regarded
rather as resulting from q chemical
stimulation of the sensory nerves
for heat perception. There may not
be any real connection between the
experimental truth determined oy DIR.

VOLZ TO BE RELEASED.
Evidence TO Weak TO Hold Him for
the Josie SimmOn Murder

Evidence to Weak to Hold Him for
the Josie Simmon Murder.
Alexander Volz will be released
when his case Is called In the Court
of Criminal Correction next Tuesday.
This intelligence was CLEANED from
an authoritative source yesterday. Volz
was arrested last week by the Fifth
District police for the murder of
Josie Simmop on October IL last. AS
stated in the Globe-Democrat at the
time the arrest was made mainly on
the statement of the wife of the &C.
cused, who WAS smartiDg from
imagined indigniries heaped upon
her by Volz. This statement did not
declare Volz to be the murder, but
contained conjectures as to how Volz
could have slain the girl. Chief Of
Detectives Desmond had this state-
ment a week before Capt Keeble OBJ.
tanned it, and did not consider it
sufficient to justify the arrest of Volz.
Capt. Keeble, after making the ar
rest, took the case before the grand
jury. The body spent two days in
examining the evidence and hearing
witnesses and then refused to find an
indictment. This fact was made
known to Prosecuting Attorney
Diekes. He had carefully looked into
the matter before hand and decided
that the case against Volz was too
weak to stand preliminary hearing.
He therefore announced that when
the case was called he would enter a
nolle prosecute. Mr.. Dierkes was of
the opinion that Volz should be re-
leased at one.
