SUGGESTIVE FIGURES.

Where Many Millions of Unclc Sam7s
Cash Has Gone.
California Fruit Grower: Collector
Quinn of San Francisco has made some
investigations into the amount OF money
remitted to China during the past 80
years by sons of the celestial empire for
whom Mr.. Cleveland has 30 tender a
place in his heart, Taking the average
number at ISL 600, as shown by the CEN
sus, and the average earnings at 81 per
day, Mr.. Quinn finds, after deducting
for living expenses, that there has been
sent out of this country never to return
the enormous sum of $810,0O0,O00.
Ii the we'll known fact that the Chi
nege do not make desirable residents in
this country cannot be impressed upon
our quasi philanthropie brethren OF the
east, including the president, perhaps
these figures of Mr.. Quinn may afford
TODD for thought.
OF course it may be retorted that
those who earned the ship Load of money
sent to China left in the country an
equivalent for it in the labor and SER
vices performed. While this may to q
great extent be true, it offers no excuse
luT COuLluuhQC6 VI bD6 policy
which made it possible to deport
80 much hard cash irom the United
States. Had not the Chinese been
here others would have performed
substantially the same labor, and
the proceeds OF their toll would
have gone to the upbuilding of the
country. Broadly speaking, not a
laborer's home has ever been found in
America by reason of the earning OF this
$S10, 100000 by Chinese. 1t is idle to
assert that these people have been a
necessity. They have been a convent
ence to those who profted directly by
their lower priced labor, and curse to
all. Practically every dollar earned by
Chinese in this country goes to China to
remain; and this one fact should be
sufficient to convince the most unrea-
soning Chinomaniac of Boston or else
where that as class they are not only
not desirable in this country, but they
are positively and always detrimental to
the welfare of the people and the coun-
try at large.

up off the bed of the stream until it al
most touches the eurface of the water
forming g curve over which the salmon
easily psss up stream, but making
barrier through which it is impossible to
return.
Now as night falls the salmon make
for the upper reaches Of the stream to
deposit their spawn and early dawn will
disclose wondrous sight. Thousands
OF fish returning tc the ocean, their
breeding complete, are checked and
packed against the bamboo barrier;
pushing frantically over each other uatil
the mass becomes go compact that
may easily walk over them from bank to
bank. And then commences a turmoil
i'm mpossihle to describe, as with yell and
shout the fishermen swoop down on
them and draw them on land with
hooks, spears and even their hands.
AS the shaki season ends they raise on
the margin OF the river several wooden
monuments covered with prayers in
Kats Kama for the souls OF the elaugh-
tered and by this time salted and dried
fish; for who shall say but that the
soui of some dear departed ancestor, in
the process OF transmigration, chose one
OF them for au earthly tabernacle.
But this is the provence of Sendai
and these our Yakouir contemporary
Say are crooked nosed salmon. 70 the
writer, however, the despised curve in
their nose was not in evidence, and an
arduous inquiry disclosed the tale that
in former days the damios. or local
dukes OF Sendai, claimed all the fish not
needed for home consumption. As re-
suit the fishers only caught for immedi-
ate consumption, and when child for
their laziness replied, "but my lord
seeH the salmon have crooked noses, and
are therefore unfit to present to my
lord" And so the story grew until it
ended in being accepted as true.

| have always felt an interest in the
progress and prosperity in the people of
Florida and enjoy the scenes where labor
has it's reward. When on trip to Chu-
luota | visited the vineyard of Geo. H.
Wright, who has twenty acres, three to
four years planted, and those who have
Florida should visit there. Also any who
delight to see the progress of such an
doubt in regard to the success of grape
culture in enterprise will be we'll re-
warded in seeing what has been done.
The foliage Of the vines is dark and
green and shows no symptoms of disease.
The crop certainly will compensate the
owner, and should encourage others to
enter on the same enterprise. | have
seen no labor that shows such results in
all the sunny South.
Most of these vines were planted three
years ago last February, and consisting
of Niagara with other large lux
urious looking punches hanging
in tempting form before the
eye. The Dutchess carrying fully
ten pounds on every vine, while the Ives,
Nortons, Virginia, Cynthaiana and Del
aware seem all loaded But that new
South Flcrida," q hybrid crop between
the Herbamont and Concord is marvel
to look at in vine form. The large dark
foliage with fruit hanging every four to
six inches. Tis simply a wonder.
Last year when only twenty-one years
from planting, the single vine yielded up
wards of forty pounds to the crop, while

this year the crop it appears will double

ONIONS.

ONIONS.
Onions are d light crop with us, and
there are but few for market. Some few
sets will be sowed from Bermuda seed to
plant early next fall.
Cules are light crop, and only d few
have been raised for family use.
The squash crop was quite good, and
prices realized have been profitable
There were but few watermelons, or
in fact melons of any kind, planted in
this section.
Corn is good crop here and looks fine,
but was not extensively planted, proba
bly, about half the usual acreage But
if talk will do it more will be planted
next season.
THE GARDEN.
The garden should be looked after now
and a variety of seed put in in order to
have a supply of vegetables for family
use. Beans, peas, lettuce, okra, sweet
corn, turnips, radishes bcets and in
fact all kinds of garden truck can be
raised on rich moist piece of land if
partially shaded.
Keep the ground clean and if you are
able to purchase a spraying pump and
can get water handy you will be able to
raise plenty of vegetables for family use
and some to spare.
Now is a good time to plant an acre of
tomatoes for late summer and fall mar
kct to sell here in Florida when the pres
ent crop is all off. The market will be
bear and the demand must be supplied
in tin cans by the grOcers. Plant one
acre now and another in July and con-
tinue to plant each month until time to
plant fall crop. 1t will not cost much
and you may strike a good thing. Toma-
toes will grow in Florida the year round
if planted and properly cared for.
COW PEAS.
Cow peas are in order now for sum
mer crop. Put in all the vacant land
you have for fodder and to plow under
for fall crop of beans and tomatoes.
The cOnch pea planted now will do we'll
for table use and be equal to the regular
garden pea. For fowls they are espeC-
tally fine, and qui.c profitable to sell for
seed.
Attend to keeping the corn field clean
and be sure to thin out we'll and pull off
suckers if you want a good yield of ears.
Also plant corn fpr fodder in rows three
feet part and WO kernels to the foot in
the drill. 1t will sucker and make small
nubbins and be ready to harvest about
the end of the rainy season.
