CHARLOTTE, N. c., April 15.-[Spec-

says:
In the figuring on what North. Caro-
lima will get in the foreign branch of the
service, it is said that the. State will not
be entitled to more than $4,000 per
annum. As out of that the salary of
Minister Alexander is to be paid, it is
seen that either another mission or a
a consul generalship or a high grade
consulship would nearly exhaust the
quota, and in consequence those who
want consulates and do not expect a
very big one are anxious to have several
smaller ones given rather than anything
considerable. Of course those desiring an
important place think otherwise.

THE FRAGRANT GLOVE.
It's Culture the Chief Occupation of Arat
Planters In Zanzibar.

It's Culture the Chief Occupation of Arab
Planters In Zanzibar.
Sultan Seyed Said bin Sultan in
1880 introduced the Glove tree into
Zanzibar, since which time its culti-
walton has formed the chief occupa-
tion of the Arab planter in that part
of the world, especially those residing
on the island of Pemba.
Every portion Of the tree is aro-
matte, says the Detroit Free Press,
but it is the bud which forms the
Glove of commerce. The choicest are
of dark-brown hue, free from
moisture, and with full, perfect
heads. The cultivation OF this i'm
portant article of domestic economy
is very interesting.
The seeds are planted in long
trenches and kept well supplied with
water for forty days, when the sprouts
appear above the surface. These are
carefully watered for two years, at the
end OF which time they usually at
tain a height Of three feet. Then
| transplanting takes place, the shoots
being set out at distances of thirty
feet apart and watered until well
rooted. After this occurs the trees
require little attention, but are kept
| free, from weeds and the earth about
| them is worked over from time to
time. They do not bear until five or
six years old, when the buds are fully
| formed into clusters and assume a
| dull reddish hue. The harvesting
now begins and continues at intervals
for six months, as the buds do not
all mature at the same time. AS the
limbs of the trees are very brittle
| they will not bear the weight Of a
man, and The cloves on the upper
branches are gathered by means of
very peculiar looking four-sided lad
ders. Immediately upon being taken
from the trees the buds are laid out
in the sun, where in a short time
they assume a brownish color, when
they are placed in storehouses and are
ready for shipment.
The usual yield OF a 10-year-old
plantation is twenty pounds per tree,
while in one twice that age they
often produce 100 pounds each. The
stems also form an article OF com.
merce, possessing about the same per-
centage of strength as the buds, but
commanding not more than one-tiftt
their price. They are usually reduced
TO powder and enormous quantitie;
are sold. being preferred by many tC
the whole buds.
Pemba produces three-fourths o.
the entire crop of cloves, but those
raised on the island of Zanzibar, OF
account of being more carefully cult
waited, are considered superior to al
others in the market

"Merlno Schmidt"
Robert r. Livingston, OF New
York, known in American history as
Chancellor Livingston, was largely
responsible for the mania. Livingston
was Minister to France. He went
abroad, he said, to get information
which would be useful to his fellow
citizens, especially in agriculture.
Up to that time Spain had made the
rest of the world believe that merino
sheep could be raised advantageously
only In that country. She had put
the rest of Europe under tribute to
her for this precious commodity.
France, however, had begun to ex-
pertinent. Livingston saw, as he
thought, great opportunity. He
became convinced, after studying the
merinos, that they would thrive in the
United States. Through his influence
as Minister he secured two couples or
merinos in France and sent them home
to the United States. He followed
ND this beginning with other ship
ments. But on his return to the
United States in 1907 he. was aston
ished TO find that the subject of
merinos had attracted very little
notice. He set to work to enlarge
the number of his merinos as fast
as possible. He wrote articles tell
ing of the wonderful increase in the
amount and oualityof the wool which
the merlno cross insured. He was a
sanguine man, and soon had his

climbers. They make their way to
cliffs where nothing else without
wings can follow. There is nothing
in venison to approach this wild NUT
ton. Englishmen who have eaten 1T
say it surpasses the finest tame NUT
ton of their country.
On his second voyage to America,
in 1893, Columbus stopped at port
in the Canary Islands, and brought
live stock for breeding purposes in
the colony he was to found. Besides
the eight hogs, Columbus brought
small hook of sheep. In 1880 Cortez
had falling out with the politicians
lin the City of Mexico, went to Cuer-
inavaca and founded great sheep
ranch. The eight hogs imported by
Columbus were the progenitors of
countless thousands which stocked
the Spanish possessions. From the
Cuernavaca ranch of COrtez the fiocks
of sheep were driven in all directions.
They occupied what is now Old Mex
leo and Texas and New Mexico, and
were even driven into the Utah Of to-
day. Pizarro took some of these
sheep with him on his expedition for
the conquest of Peru, and the fiocks
spread over South America, crossing
the Andes and soccupying the great
plains Of La Plata. When Menendez
came, in 1865, under commission of
the King OF Spain, to COLOMBO Flor

ida, he brought 400 sheep, as well as
500 negro slaves, and San Augustine,
"the Oldest town in the United
States was founded. The traces of
that Spanish origin are seen to-day in
the sheep of Florida and Southern
Georgia.
Sheep played an important part in
the early settlement of this country.
The Catholic priests who established
q string of seventeen missions for the
Indians from San Diego to San Fran
cisco had over million sheep in
flocks attached to those missions.
Virginia in early times had law
prohibiting the removal Of any sheep
from the "collonle." At that time
tobacco was currency In Virginia.
The colonial authorities gave bounty
OF Ave pounds OF tobacco for every
yard OF wooden cloth made by colon
lists But he was a Virginia states
.man-John Randolph--who said he
would go out of his way any time to
kick q sheep" Maryland had sheep
from the very beginning of set
ltlcment. The Swedes brought
sheep into Delaware. They trimmed
the tails so as to leave a bunch OF
wool at the end like lions tail.
This was thought to improve the ap
.pcarancc, and also to make better
defense against fleas.
Kentuckians began early TO improve
their focks. In 1909 the hrst mer

tucky. In New York State the
merinos were eagerly bought at $500
or 81, 900 head, and even as high as
81, 500. That was in 1910 and 1911.
But the speculative fever ran only
short time. In 1915 merinos sold for
81 apiece.
After the war of the revolution
there was such rush from the
United States to import fine sheep
from England that that country re-
vived an old law to stop 1T. A pen
atty of 60 fine and three months
confinement was imposed on any per-
son who exported sheep from Eng
land. One of the most enterprising
sheep breeders in this country was
George Washington. He had flock
of 700 or 500. He bred them up until
they yielded five pounds of wool to
the sheep. Thomas Jefferson, as
Washington's Secretary Of State, be-
came so interested in the subject that
he concluded to push the number of
sheep" on his plantation, saying he
"had never before considered, with
due attention, the profit from that
animal"
After Washington's death some OF
the best of his sheep were bought by
George Washington Paike Custis
and taken to Arlington. A new
flock, with added fame, was created.
Custis inaugurated the custom of an
nual strengthening meetings. Gen
tlemen farmers came from the neigh
boring counties. The date was the
both of April. The meeting place
was the great Arlington spring, which
gushed out not far from the PotoTac

Takes Two Rascals to work It.

Land values increase so rapidly in
New York that it is easy to mortgage
such property pretty we'll up to the
selling value, and this fact has opened
the way to an ingenious method Of
something very like swindling. A,
representing himself as the agent of
b, purchases desirable vacant land
for say $175, 900, and before papers
pass, B sells the same to A at $500
900. b then, upon the strength of
this transaction, obtains a mortgage
OF s200,O00 upon the property OF
course A and b are in collision, and
the original purchaser really repre-
sented both, while the second trans
action was solely for the purpose OF
establishing price upon which the
mortgage could be obtained

in value long before the house was
finished. Within six months after
Long had completed Trotter's house
the same kind of sheep could be
bought for $40. Long kept his high
bred ram and eve until they were
worth no more than ordinary sheep.
Then he killed them, invited his
neighbors to a barbecue and thanked
God he wasn't worth dollar. Soon
afterward he died Of broken heart.

the breeds was not confined to Ken
