is at the same time as with us. Take a
sample of our best tobacco to the most
expert Judge of tobacco here IN Tampa
and tell him it is grown in Florida, and
it out of sight. Take the same sample
to him and tell him it has been sent
by friend in Cuba, and he will con-
slider it as favorably as If it were Cuba
tobacco. The experiment has been
tried and worked as | tell you. |
don't mean to tell any one that all our
soil is good for growing tobacco, but by
experiment the best can be found in the
same way the Spaniards found their best
soil IN Cuba AS for curing the leaves,
there are plenty of men here in Tampa
who understand the Cuban method.
There is no special mystery about it.
Tn view Of the fact of the present war
in Cuba. the rise in the price of tobacco
and the chances that the whole supply
may be cut off, should make Spaniards
and Cubans, as we'll as Americans, alive
to the splendid opening which now
offers to make Florida the successful
rival of Cuba in tOba"cO culture. In
case OF the Cubans obtaining their
independence, IL is not improbable that
there will be contest between the

FOR THE FLORIDA AGRIcULTURIsT.
Tobacco Culture in Florida.

What better opportunity Can Florida
seize than that which now presents it
self in tobacco culture? Consider for
moment what field the tariff has
opened for US. all in the interest of
cigar manQfacturers-$4.00 per pound
and 25 per. cent ad valorem, 81. so per
pound on the leaf wrapper, lit is sold up
to $500 ger ponnd). For the ordinary
filler tobacco the duty is 35c. per pound.
These duties are simply immense. Now
if such duties had been put on any arti-
Gle to be manufactured, in which expen-
sve machinery would be required, I'M
told millions would be put into it and
it is a mystery to me why it is that
Americans allow all these profits to re-
main in the hands of Spaniards and
Cubans.
Tobacco can be grown at very little
more expense than Indian corn. 1t is
all nonsense to say that we cannot grow
tobacco of as fine quality and flavor as
can be grown in Cuba We have the soil
and the climate. The rainy season there

The Condition of Trees IN Polk County
Daytona. Florida.

AA0 OOAOAViOA Va AAOOC ia L OAh OOuuUy
The Barlow Courier-Informant says:
The orange trees in and around Barlow
are growing rapidly and the people are
beginning to feel very hopeful over the
outlook.
There were SO many large roots that
the sprouts which came up even from
the young trees, are growing vigorously
and in many groves the young trees are
as tall as they were at the time they
were killed. Many of the old trees
which were pruned of the dead wood
have grown and filed out so fully that
they look almost if there had been no
harm. Where the dead limbs were left
of course they still look ragged, but the
old limbs are serving as braces for the
new growth and besides will in due
time drop out.
Many who thought at first of aban-
doning their groves entirely, have long
ago changed their minds and i'll give
them the necessary attention, with the
full expection of having them in a short
time in fine and fruitful condition.

Secrets Of Canning.

Some of our readers who have grown
a surplus of guavas or other truck since
the freeze may find this useful: There
is such an immense amount of fruit and
factories that it will hardly pay anybody
to undertake it on small scale, except
farmers who have Them going to waste
and of good quality. The main secret of
canning is to cook long enough TO rup-
ture all the cells, and expel all the air
from the articles, but no longer. 1t is
the air left in them that does the mis-
chief. Strawberries are of little value as
ordinary canned fruit, they quickly lose
their color, become faded rapid and wa
terry. If cooked down a long time, they
become strong and throat-cutting. The
best method of preserving them ap-
proaches nearer to crystalizing than to
ordinary canning. Stem and pick them
over thoroughly, rejecting all that have
the least beginning of softness or rot, SUI
gar them down heavlly-almost if not
quite pound for pound, for our acid Flor
ida berries-then bring them to boil
and can at once. This preserves the
form and the brilliant color and makes a
very satisfactory preserve. 1t is almost
as rich as strawberry jam, and has not
that throat cutting quality. Tomatoes
especially need to be we'll cooked, most
of the Jumps reduced, in order to make
them keep Most housekeepers have
much trouble in preventing the cans
from breaking; they heat the bottoms
over the stove or steaming kettle until
thew are so hot that they cannot be held
in the hand, then put spoonful of hot
fruit in them and proceed to fill them up.
A much simpler plan is to set the jars
on three or four thickness of wet cloth,
then pour in the fruit at once. Stir 1t
with small stick to cause all the bub-
bles of air to escape. Let it stand little
while to settle; then fill just level full
with hot juice; wipe off the juice clean
from the edges without disturbing the
jar and screw on the top as tight as a
strong arm and wrench can screw it.
Never use a rubber the second time;
have new ones every year; these alone
are sufficiently elastic to exclude the air
and preserve your fruit.

became a machinist. He believed that 6 practical education to the average man or woman had treble the value of a smattering of the sciences as gained in the customary college course. He put this idea into execution when he estab- lished the Pratt Institute of Brooklyn, where young men and women are taught all manner of everyday trades, from carpentering, bricklaying, etc, to stenography and writing.
 Henry M. Flagler, another of the Standard Oil millionaires, was a wood man in the northwest in the days of his young manhood. He is worth between seventy and eighty million dollars to- day. He married the daughter of his employer. The latter, on a trip to Cleveland O., made the acquaintance of John D. Rockefeller, then a strug- ling young merchant, with a small store and no capital MT. Flagler's father-in-law became impressed with the extraordinary business ability of young Rockefeller, and wishing to give his new relative start in life, pur- chased half interest in the Rockefel- Ter store for $2,5OO. Soon after Flagler and Rockefeller entered actively into partnership, and that $2,500 was prac- tically the corner stone of the Standard Oil company, probably the richest cor poration on earth.

 There is big colony of self-made millionaires in New York, as every one knows, but very few people know how these great men made their initial bat tie with Mistress Fortune, or, in other words, how they earned their first mon- ey,
 Many of these millionaires find their greatest pleasure in telling over the sto- ries of their early struggles, and they gain g. vast amount of enjoyment in re- counting the mammoth obstacles sur mounted, the keen misfortunes over- come and the numerous setbacks mas tered.

Stores big and little are making all sorts of claims. Never larger stocks. Never greater sales. Never cheaper prices. This all may be true. Doubt less is, of it's kind. But, to return to the store, the Big Store, one must not only consider growth of trade but the compulsory growth of territory by reason of eyrceb- tso@cI growth of trade. We recently mentioned the re- moval of the picture busi- ness to second floor front. That was merely an incident in the marvellous growth of our Cloak Trade. More room I" it demanded and more room it got.
 Compare this important branch of our business with what it was one year ago. Why, business seemed to break through the bounds of narrowness month by month, until to-day you gaze upon added space, enlarged quantities and inn proved qualities.
