A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil Of Fernandina was held Friday
night for the purpose OF considering
the advisability of taking the output
of shells from the canning factory,
as that would be big inducement
for j. N. C. Stockton and w. A. Ma

has been so long idle. The council
decided to take $4,000 bushels of
shells, which is about one seasons
output, for the Smelling of the

favorite the same.
''Just here I wish to call attention
to the unfair manner in which / have
allowed LeConte to be handicapped
in making these comparisons. Wher-3
ever any other variety has been quot
en- in the lead / have taken the max
imum figures for that particular vari-
ETY. on that day. These varieties in
clude Bartlett, Clapp's Favorite, Seek
ell, Louise Bonne, Beurre Bose, How
ell, Flemish Beauty, Bell, Catherine,
Jargonelle, etc., while varieties listed
as common kinds, near BY are too
far behind to be in the race.
81 find that LeContes started this
season (1895) at a maximum price of
$500 on June 2Sth, and that for thir-
ty-fve consecutive days the maxi
mum prices were quoted as follows:
Four days at $500, one day at $500,
six days at $3.50, four days at 1925,
two days at $500, three days at $3.50,
five days at 1928, three days at $500,
one day at $1.75, and six days at
$3.50. The first quotation by
the barrel on any named veriety 9th
er than LeConte, was on July 23d,
and the maximum price was $500,
and for thirty-fve consecutive days
up to September 4th the maximum
prices on other than LeContes were
as follows: (Four days at $500, four
days at $2.75, ten days at $3.50, seven
days at 1925, and ten days at $500,
which figures up an average maxi
mum price of $3.50, and leaves Lee
Conte 81 cents per barrel in the lead.
We have only thirty-five days of quo
tations on other varieties up to Sep
TENDER 4th, but if we include the last
| week of low quotations on LeContes
from August 10th to nth, and make
the average comparison the same as
above, we still find LeConte in the
lead on average maximum prices for
the entire season to date (Septem-
Der 9th). In considering these fig
ures it should be borne in mind that
1895 was a year of low prices for
pears of all kinds, in fact was an off
year for fruit of all kinds, so far as
prices were concerned"
The period of uncertainty as to the
market value of the LeConte has
passed. It has an assured place as a
market staple, and when shipped at
the proper time and put up in the
right way, can be depended upon to
net a fair profit. The generally &C
copied lesson Of the "big freeze" is t.
diversity our production. In casting
about for other fruits than oranges,
for fruits that will pay, and for fruits
that involve no frost risk, the LIE
Conte is worth considering, through
out the wide area in this state where
the LeConte is heavy, sure and reg
ular bearer.-A. III. Meanwhile, Secre-

The LeOonte Pear as a Money Crop.


Mary orchard this season, (1896) sold
on June 29th, and netted 1925 per
barrel. The last shipment sold on
August 3rd and Melted $1.66 per bar
rel. The entire crop from this Or
chard was sold in N. Y. City and net
ted right through on everything ship
ped an average of 1924 per barrel.
In 1893 the product of this orchard
Melted about $3.50 per barrel. In 1894,
$3.50 per barrel. 1895 was an "off
year." in market for pears of all
kinds; the fruit from this orchard
Melted less than in previous years,
but we had the satisfaction of know
ing that LeContes sold we'll, as COM
pared with other varieties of pears,
and that our fruit brought top prices
for LeContes.
It will be remembered that under
date of Sept. 9th, 1895, Mr.. G. L. Ia
Der wrote an article (Which appeared
in the Florida Farmer and Fruit
Grower for Sept. 21st 1880 on the
LeConte as a money crop, in which
he gave a resume of the prices OBJ
tanned for LeContes as compared
with other pears, taken from the Of
fetal Price Current of the New York
Market and extending over three
years. The following quotations are
taken from this article.
81 find LeContes first quoted in
1893, on June 10th at $500 per barrel
and for forty seven consecutive days
the maximum prices quoted on Lee
Contes ran as follows: two day at
5000, five days at $500, fifteen days
at $500 to $3.50, twelve days at $500,
six days at $3.50, and seven days at
$500. I find that for the same year
the first quotation for any other spec
flied variety was on July 28th, and it's
maximum quotation on that day was
$3.50 and that for forty-seven consec-
utive days the highest prices named
for any other variety than LeContes
ran as follows: ten days at $3.50,
nine days at $500, two days at 1878,
six days at $3.50, two days at 1925,
twelve days at $500, one day at $2.75
and five days at $3.50. By figuring
this up l find the average maximum
price for LeContes for forty-seven
days from the time they were first
quoted to be $4.14 and the average
maximum price on any other variety
for forty-seven days from the time
they were first quoted to be 1855, a
difference of SO cents per barrel in
favor of LeConte in the average max
imum quotations for forty-seven con-
secutive days after the different
kinds came into market in sufficient
quantities to be quoted by the bar
rel. These figures also show that for
twenty-five days of the forty-seven
LeContes sold as high, or higher than
the highest received for any other
variety when at their highest, and
that the highest, quotations on any
other variety by $1.5O per barrel.
'In 1894 there was a larger differ
ence in favor of LeConte than in the
preceding year. In 1894, LeContes
started at $3.50 to $3.50, and on July

the four quarters from Chicago to
Florida. The purchasers may be
obliged to pay on basis of five cents
pound plus freight, but we still
say AZ cents. The Florida butcher
must have good, fat beef for the tour
ist clearinghouse and hotels. Now,
assuming that man buys bunch
of fifty 6OO-pound steers at two cents
pound, and sells them at AZ cents
pound next February, and by the
generous feeding theyh ave gained 100
pounds each, the account will be
somewhat on this wise:
SO steers, 700 pounds each, Az
cents per pound ............ 81, 575
so steers, 600 pounds, cost 2
cents per pound ........ -. 600
1915
Now, assuming that the purchaser
can coax each of these fifty steers to
eat 500 pounds of cotton-seed meal
during the next four or five months,
the feeder will have fed twelve tons
of cotton-seed meal. At 500 per ton,
this will reduce his cash profits down
to $735. The meal would not in most
cases probably cost $40 a ton, but
some allowance should be made for
the hulls, which ought to be fed in
connection with the meal in about
the same relative proportions as they
are placed by nature in the whole
seed.
AS the steers are almost grown,
however, the increase of lean meat or
bone will be small. In the assumed
increase of one hundred pounds, the
increase will be nearly all fat, which
has no nitrogen and not much potash
or phosphoric acid, so that if the
feeder is careful, and has his cattle
shielded to prevent waste of the man
ure by rain, he will find his twelve
tons of cotton-seed meal in the man
ure-heap, except the oil. On stock
feeding in central, Prof. A. A. Per
sons, chemist of the Florida Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Bulletin
No. 20, page 20, makes the following
statement: 1.-The droppings from a
half-starved animal possess little val
lie as a fertilizer; it is hardly profit
alblt to use; but when the animal has
been we'll fed on a rich diet like cot
ton-seed meal or wheat bran, the
plant food locked up in the animal
manure has been shown to be more
valuable, from money standpoint,
than was the food itself when pur-
chased in the market" This statement
is perhaps a little too strong, but is
approximately correct.
Perhaps in no state in the south is
winter feeding more profitable than
in Florida. In all of the states not
one can be named in which fertilizers
are more needed, or in which little
fertilizer will go so far, or in which
fertilizers are dearer, or in which the
difference in the price of beef cattle
between September and February is
so great.-Citizen.

courage the ramparts OF Error and Vice.
