A Farmer Who Makes Money.

AS an evidence Of the profitableness of
agricultural pursuits in Florida, and to
encourage those who have thought to
engage in farming in this State, nothing
is more conclusive than the operations
of Mr.. Randolph Eppes, of Jefferson
county. Five years ago, Mr.. Eppes in
herited from his uncle, the late MAJOR
Burton w. Bellamy, large plantation
in the northeastern part of that county.
AS heir TO the estate, Mr.. Eppes also as
slmed the bur den of debt, which rested
upon it. The plantation consisted of
5000 acres, well equipped with stock
and implements, and the debt was in
round mum bers 10000. During the five

sible. to avoid washing during heavy
rains. The land ought to be thoroughly
cleared and we'll plowed before any trees
are planted on it; and the ground laid
off in spaces, marking the places for
trees by stakes If the variety to be
grown is of vigorous nature and likely
to make large trees like the liberia, the
stakes should be from sixteen to twenty
feet apart; but for smaller trees, such as
Japan Blood and that class, ten to twelve
feet is quite sufficient. l used to ad-
vocate close planting to shield the
ground from our hot sun, and to prevent
scalding of the bark, but have altered
my ideas on that point little now, as
my observation and experience goes to
prove that the wider apart the trees are
planted, the better will be the quality
of fruit l planted my first lot of Ell
bertas twenty-five feet apart, intending
in few years as the trees got to matu-
rity, to plant trees between them,
making the orchard twelve and one
half feet apart all over when fully
planted; but last summer l found that
the trees that were wider apart had the
best fruit. 1t was higher in color and
the quality was decidedly superior
to that on the trees planted twelve or
fourteen feet apart. Some trees in the
neighborhood of DeFuniak are planted
even closer than that, and it was an OBJ
ject lesson to any one to observe the ap-
pearance of this fruit. It was of a
greenish hue even when ripe-spotted
and altogether very interior looking
fruit. In fact there were Elbertas ship
ped from here last summer that no one
would believe to be such as far as ap-
pearance was concerned.
But to come back to the planting, af-
ter the ground is properly staked, he les
should be dug at least three feet in di-
ameter-(larger if you can afford it,
and at least three feet deep, In planting
the trees they should be planted an
inch or so deeper than they were in the
nursery row. The holes have to be
filled up with surface soil and couple
of handfuls of cotton seed meal or any
other heterogeneous fertilizer spread in
the hole among this soil under the tree.

constitution by which he surrendered

THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.
Some Can Them "the Crossroads"
of the Pacific.
somstS,nR About the Country which Has
just Applied for Annexation to
the United states-Histor-
ical Matters.

The Hawaiian or Sandwich islands
are in the Pacific ocean, about midway
between North America and Asia. They
are 2, 100 miles from the American coast
and are situated on the course of ships
passing from San Francisco to China
and Japan as well as to New Zealand
and Australia.
The group is the most northerly clus.
ter of the Polynesian archipelago and
constitutes the kingdom of Hawaii.
There are twelve islands in the cluster,
four of which are barren rocks. The
name and area of the eight principal
islands are as follows:
Hawaii, 4,210 square miles; Maui, 760;
Oahu, 600; Kauai, 500; Molokai, 27O.
Lani, 150; Kahulaui, 63; Nihau, %. The
large islands are mountainous and con.
tain some of the largest volcanoes in
the world. Kilauea, the largest active
volcano in the world, is in Hawaii
Mauna Doa, the scene of an eruption in
1877, is also on this island. T.
The islands are said to have been dis
covered in 1542 by Gaetano, but Capt
Cook, first lord of the British admiralty,
rediscovered them in 177S and named
them the Sandwich islands.
The natives of the islands form one
of the families of the Polynesian race,
which also inhabits the Marquedas,
Tonga, Society, Friendly and Samoan
groups and New Zealand. Although
separated by 5000 miles of ocean the
Hawaiian and the New Zealander can
understand each other, the similarity of
language being great. The production
of the lands are sugar, rice, coffee, cot
ton, sandalwood, tobacco, arrowroot,
wheat, maize, tapioca, oranges, lemons,
bananas, tamarinds, breadfruit, guava,
potatoes, fungus, wool, hides and orna-
mental woods. The seat of government
is Honolulu, located at Oahu. The
