Here IA a story from life. told In a
Western paper:
A man took seat in a railroad car.
and piled the seal at his side with bags
and parcels. The car became crowded,
aad gentleman asked the person ir
this seat II the other half Of it was oe-
eupied.
Yes" said the other: those things
belong to a man who has Just gone into
the smoking car. and he'll be back pres
entity"
The gentleman had reason to suspect
the truth OF this statement
"Aii right" he said: Il will sit in this
seat until the man comes back"
He proceeded TO remove the bags and
bundles, placing them on the fioor or in
the rack The other man glared. but
could say nothing. AS a matter Of fact.
the man in the smoking car" was an
invention.
BY and by the owner Of the bundles
arrived AT his destination. He began TO
gather up his effects.

but you said these bundles belonged to
a man who had gone into the smoking
car. shall consider IT my duty to pre-
vent you from taking them. since by
your own statement they don't belong
TO you"
The man became violent and abusive,
but dared not lay his hands on the
bundles. The conductor was called in.
He listened to the statements OF both
men. and said:
We'll. / will take charge Of the
bundles myself. and take thoIa to the
station In the city and If no one else
claims them meanwhile, you"--indicat-
ing the man who had once repudiated
their ownership may have them /"
Amid the laughter and applause OF
the passengers the man got on at the
station, Just as the train was pullinS
out. without his baggag. He obtained
IL the next day, but was well punished
for the lie he had told for the sake of
monopoiiTing a seat that did not belong
to him.

Pineapples in Lee County.

A bulletin prepared by L. B. Wash
burn formerly superintendent of sub-ex
perlmental station at Fort Myers and
published by the State experimental
station is devoted to pineapples.
In his Introductory Mr., Washburn
says: Some delay in printing this bull
etln enables me to say that the expert
ence at Fort Myers. in the dlsas trous
winter through which we have just
passed has been most encouraging.
The young pines, which had been set in
the open ground but few weeks, or
three or four months was not seriously
njured. The pines, year or more old
were injured about 33 per cent, the
plants being so frozen as to soften and
decay. The other thirds of the old
pines are looking well, are now blooming
and promise good crop in '95. Young
pines in an ordinary pineapple shed,
made of three inch strips came through
in very fine condition.
Speaking of fertilizers for the plant he
says the pineapple is voracious feeder
1t requires heavy fertilizing, Nitro.
gen, phosphoric acid and potash are all
required in generous amounts. Perhaps
the following manures are the best
sources from which to obtain these re-
quirements. Poultry manure, stable
manure, guano, blood and bone, bone
meal, cotto nseed meal, acid phosphate,
sulphate of potash, and we'll routed
muck If compost is used, it should be
we'll rotted and ready for assimilation.
C ompost undergoing fermentation will
destroy the feeder roots. Pine lands
containing much silica or vegetable
mold, are the best for this fruit, espeo-

Spanish one and a half by three is uffi-
cient, it being best to have rows three

Seed should be covered three inches and
two seeds placed in each hill, the soil
being frmed or rolled after covering.
The crop should be frequently cultivated
to keep down weeds and grass. Ex-
pertinent has proved that level culture
has produced the best results in the
crop.
AS soon as the nuts have matured the
whole plant should be taken up and
cured and the nuts picked off by hand
at convenient time. Where the crop

may be turned in and left to harvest the

has been thought best to answer them
in this department.
PARsNIPs.
One of our subscribers has always
failed with parsnips, and wants to
know how to be successful with them.
1t is probably the most difficult vege-
table to raise in the South that
there is and success is by no
means certain to the most ex.
perienced and careful. The ground
should be we'll manfred and cultivated,
and the seed sown in drills Is inches
apart, and seed covered to the depth Of
two and one-half to three inches on
sandy soils. On muck lands half
this depth is sufficient. The soil should
be thoroughly rolled or frmed after
seed is planted. 1t terminates slowly,
and apparently the cooler the soil the
better the termination The best ger
mination of parsnips In this vicinity was
Immediately after the February freeze
of this year. Sow them at the coolest
season of the year In Florida and Gull
states. AS soon as seed has terminated
the cultivation should be the same as
for carrots.
This is valuable ground nut to grow
for hog or poultry feed. Ground should
be prepared in the same way as for pea
nuts and narrowed down level after
blowing Plant them in drills two feet
apart and one foot apart in the drill,
planting two or three chufas In each
check and cover three inches. These
should have clean culture as grass or
weeds greatly retard the formation of
the nuts under ground. The maturity
of the crop is indicated by the dying
down of the tops, at which time the
hogs can be turned IN to harvest them
It does not pay to gather the nuts ex
eept for seed purposes.
Chufas are considered by pork raisers
in the South the most profitable crop
that can be grown for fattening.
PEANUTS.
Considerable inquiry has been made
as to cultivation of peanuts, especially
the Spanish variety which seems to be
t!92n. 1n.ost popu..c.. among the Gulf State
growers
The culture of peanuts can be con-
sidered with two objects in view, first,
the nuts, and second for the foliage.
The Spanish is a small, upright grow
ing variety, with rather small pods, ali
of which are formed near the tap root
AND adhere to the plant when harvested.
Al though the nuts are smaller, they are
of better quality than the com mon OF
Virginia nut so generally used in com,
merce, and as confectioner's stock fol-
use in candies, bring a higher price
This natures quickly and can be
planted as late as July Is. in Florida
June Is to July l in states further
North.
The Spanish must be harvested as
soon as ripe, if planted for an early CROP
as they sprout very quickly after ma
turity if left in the ground. With its
bushy top it is much more easily cut
for hay and cured as easily as beggal
weed or crab grass If grown for the

-Ex-Treasurer Schwartx, Of Bright
wood, Settling HIS indebtedness.

After six years of waiting, the little town
of Mt. Jackson is enjoying the privilege of
burning natural gas. The question has been
agitated from time to time, but satisfactory
arrangements could not be made with the
gas companies. The best proposition made
was one that contemplated the payment of
x,50o guarantee fund by the citizens. This
was considered exorbitant, considering the
size of the place, and was not entertained.
Matters ran along in this way until recently,
when the necessity of one of the companies
became the opportunity of the town. For
some time the Indianapolis Natural Gas
Company has held the contract for furnish
ing gas to the Central Hospital for the In
sane. A short time ago the contract was
relet for a period of three years. The

awarded the contract. The company pre-

reaching the hospital through Mt. jackson.
At this 5uncture, the Mt. Jackson officials
entered the ring and insisted that the COM
pany should argee TO furnish gas to private
consumers as a consideration for the grant
ing of a right-of-way. An agreement was
reached and gas is now furnished Mt. Jack

dianapolis rates are paid. and in this re-
spect Mt. Jackson fares better than other
suburbs, some of which pay fifty per cent.
higher for their gas.
The town board recently passed an ordi-
nance providing for the laying of
water mains and the placing of
fire plugs. a fve-cent levy was
ordered to meet the expenses in
cident thereto. The water mains will be
laid in the spring. The town is in excellent
financial condition. No levy was necessary

THE STATE SOLDIERS HOME.


The trustees OF the Indiana State Sol
diers' Home made their first report TO the
Governor yesterday. Contracts have been
let for six buildings, which are now near
ing completion. and will probably be ready
for occupancy by January. They will be
lighted by electricity and heated by steam.
There will be an ice plant capable Of cool
ing the cellar of the commissary building
and making one thousand pounds OF ice a
day. The amount appropriated was s75,-
600 for buildings. to which was added a do
nation by the G. A.. r., making the total
amount available SIS. 80. OF this amount
the contracts for building and appurten-
ances already let amount to s76.S24.97, leav-
ing a balance of a little over 5000 for fur
ishings. The trustees DO not anticipate a
great deal of expense in furnishing the
buildings, for much OF this has already
been looked after by the W. r. C.'s OF the
State.
Besides this the Indiana Department of
the G.. A. II. has donated 5000 to be used
in building cottages. Other donations for
this purpose are: State w. II. c., xs7. 76;
