How Allsplce Grows.

The pimento or allspce tree is Guilt
waited in the West Indies and Jamaica.
1t usually grows to height of about
thirty feet. &c has a straight trunk,
much branched above, and covered with
very smooth brown bark. The leaves
vary in size and shape, but are always
of dark, shining green color. During
the months of July and August the tree
is in full bloom, the blossoms consisting
of very fragrant, small white flowers.
When new plantation OF pimento
trees is to be formed no regular sowing
or planting takes place, because it is
next to impossible to propagate the
young plants, or to raise them from
seeds in parts of the country where they
are not found growing spontaneously.
Usually piece of land is selected either
close to plantation already formed, or
in part of the woodland where pimento
trees are growing in native state
The chosen piece Of land is then cleared
of all wood except these trees, and the
felled tim Der is allowed to remain on
the ground for the purpose of protecting
the very young pimento plants.
At the end of two years the land is
thoroughly cleared, and only the most
vigorous pimento trees and plants are
left standing. The plants come to ma
turity in about seven years.
In favorable seasons the pimento crop
is enormous, single tree often yield
ing hundred or more pounds Of the
dried spice. The berries are picked
while green, because if left on the trees
until ripe they lose their pungent taste
and are valuless. The green berries are
exposed to the sun for a week or ten
days, when they lose their green color
and turn a reddish brown. When per-
fectly dry they are put in bags and casks
for expectation.
The odor and the taste Of the pimento
berries are thought to resemble COM
bination Of those Of cinnamon, nutmeg
and cloves, hence the familiar name, all

An Acre of Land.

What can be done in the way Of agri
culture upon one acre of land upon the
Florida sand hill known as Avon Park
Our townsman, John T. Hendricks, we
knew to be somewhat industrious, and
knew that he had an acre of land on
Pleasant street that was properly cared
for. We investigated, and found the
following trees and plants, all in thrifty
condition on our neighbours acre; 1915
pineapple plants, nineteen orange trees,
twenty-five grapefruit trees, two lemon,
six Chinese and twenty-five Brazilian
guava trees, five lime trees, one persim-
mon, four figs, forty peaches, three
pears, two apples, Two royal poinciana,
one Australian oak, thirty Orinoco, siA
Harris choice, and twelve cavendis5
bananas, eight egg plants, thirtyone
tropical yamS, twelve rose bushes, two
beds chrysanthemums, four beds Of ge
ranlums, one bed OF tube roses, one CEN
fury plant, one sisal hemp, one great
cactus and one oleapder.
These trees, shrubs and plants are all
healthy and thrifty. They indicate that
the owner is an industrious man and
takes care of his garden. That IS all it.
is, simply a garden, and yet we will wa
ger that there is many fve-acre field,
under what is called thorough cultiva-
ZION, in the north, that does not yield it's
owner one-half as much as the acre we
have descibed.
Mr.. Hendricks gets plenty of pine
apples, guavas and figs from his one
acre garden. He has plenty of fruit and
vegetables. So could every other resi-
dent of Avon Park if they did little
more work and a little less growing at
hard times.-Avon Park Idea.

Our Forests are Doomed.

Professor n. S. Shaler, who occupies
the chair of geology at Harvard Univer-
sity, thinks it is clearly evident that we
cannot hope to preserve any cOnsidera-
BILE portion of our forest lands from
destruction. The need of subsist
ence s1ch as is drawn from the soil is
immediate and overwhelming. During
the last century Europe has been able to
preserve portion of It's forests, and,
indeed, to win back extensive areas to
the condition of woods. But Professor
Shaler saws that when our American
soils are occupied it does not seem likely
that other parts Of the world will afford
any such opportunity for obtaining
foreign grain. At most we may expect
that a small area, perhaps not exceeding
one-tenth of our original forests, may be
retained in their original shape, in order
to afford supplies of timber This opin
ion Of Professor Shaler is open to queS
ton. Whatever important function of
the forests to arrest the loss of water,
Professor Shaler proposes to accomplish
by creating artificial reservoirs in which
the waters may be for time retained
during the periods of flood Thus he
estimates that for an fficient system of
reservoirs for the Miss ssippi valley and
the valleys of the other large tributaries
of this river, capital expenditure of at
least 500, 100000 " ould be required, and
the sum of at least $40, 100000 year
would be needed for operating expenses.
Even at this enormous cost Professor
ShAler thinks the OUTLAY suitable from
the benefits TO be obtained from the plan.

Cotton Seed Hulls for Feeding.

OOLSOu O00u AuIl0 IOI l.
G. f. asks what is the value of cotton
seed hulls as food for milch COWS, and
how they compare with ordinary crab
grass hay and Bermuda hay.
Analysis gives the contents of the hulls
as follows:
Protein heterogeneous matter) ......... per cent
Carbohyd rates (nitrogen free ex-
tract) ............... ...............3o per cehC

Grab grass hay varies greatly, accord
ing to the time Of cutting, manner of
curing, etc, and so far as the protein or
heterogeneous matter is concerned, the
rarge is very great. Some samples
would show such hay to have no more of
this valuable element than the hulls of
cotton seed, viz, 4 per cent If the hay
is saved before the seeds are matured
and without being rained upon, it may
contain anywhere from to per cent Of
protein.
The crab grass hay is about 10 per
CCub IICACI III NdA OoAy vi o0Co OhOh OAAS
hulls, viz, 46 per cent and of fat it is
about the same-2 per cent. Between
frst-class crab grass and Bermuda hay
there is no great difference in feeding
value, but as ordinarily saved there is
marked difference in favor of the Ber-
muda. While analysis usually suggests
the possible value of q thing, yet the
real test is made in the lot or stable.
Many tests of this character have been
made, both by individuals and by ex-
pertinent stations, and the average of
conclusions may be reckoned as giving
to nice clean bulls about the same value
as bright clean oat straw. At the price
hulls usually sell for at the mills, they
are undoubtedly desirable article of
long forage for cattle, and in absence of
better material, there are numerous oc-
casions in the south, no doubt, where a
dairyman or farmer with cattle had
rather pay even S. per ton for hulls
than to attempt to get along without
any long forage, or ''roughage." This
is more than the hulls are intrinsically
worth, and twice as much as they
usually sell for at the mills. Savannah
