seed, so that they could start an expert.
mental patch" In the meantime the
Daily Times, of this city, had sent to
Cuba, and had obtained quantity of
pure Vuelta Abajo seed, which was
genera usly offered to those of this neigh
borhood desiring to make experiments,
thus distributing the seed in very
judicious manner throughout this part
of the state, for they would let no one
have too large quantity. The result
of this distribution has been most bene
fetal, and to add to the life of the infant
industry, the Daily Times and Mr.. w.
H. Hendricks, together, have off cred a
prize Of 800 to the person or persons
growing the best acre Of tobacco in this
county, the product to be passed upon
by experts in the tobacco business who
are not interested IN the crop. This
special inducement has caused little
spirit of rivalry, and may bring about
most gratifying results.
All around this part of the state the
farmers are putting in small patches,
which thsy are watching with great
interest in hopes that in this crop they
will find solution or preventative
against hard times In future years. At
Dade City there are several patches
which give good promise and the same
thing can be said of Lakeland. In Polk
county, as we'll as in this county, the
desire for tobacco growing permeates
the entire farming districts. Every day,
almost, samples are brought into this
city from the outlying country which
growers wish to submit to the maEusac.
turers of this city for inspection and
opinion. Oftimes these samples are
made up into few sample cigars which
compare most favorably with the i'm
ported tobaccos. The taste generally is
pleasing, the ash of desirable white
ness, they burn evenly and are Of the
lightness that characterizes the Ameri-
can trade. The leaf, as rule, is sus-
ceptible of high polish; it is fine, with
small veins, at the same time being ex-
ceedingly firm in texture.
This applies to those crops which have
received the most attention, and not too
much detrimental fertilizers. In all
cases the value and appearance of the
leaf, ready for manufacturing, depends
upon the method of curing. Where the
tobacco is grown and cured by the Cuban
experts it's superiority is noticeable,
because they not only know all the
secrets of it's proper manipulation during
its curing, but they also know the man
ner of cultivation thoroughly. When
and how to pinch back the leaves of the
growing plant to make the leaf
broaden; how to cut the first crop of
leaves, the second, and the third crops;
what fertilizer to use; when to trans
plant the young plants; and, in fact, all
the little details with which the Ameri'
can farmers are not acquainted, and
which are quite necessary to the ulti-
mate success of the crop.
The tobacco company of Fort Meade
has sold it's entire crop to large German
firm; in fact, it had given that firm an
option on their crop before any of 1t had
been planted. From the reports that

the light lands of South Florida are sus-
ceptible of producing as fine wrapper
tobacco as can be produced anywhere.
FROM TAMPA.
The culture of tobacco in this part OF
the state during the past year has
proved thus far to be success, and as
the experimental crops have been so
abundant 1t is more than likely thai the
crops for the coming year will be lar
more extensive. Without single ex-
ception, those who have engaged in the
culture of the weed have been satisfied
with the results; in fact, it has more
than exceeded their expectations, and
the gist of their talk IS that they will
plant larger acreage next season. The
soil 10 thisolocality seems to be partlc-
ularlv adapted for the successful rails
ing of tobacco, and the climate certainly
agrees with the process of curing. This
much has been proven beyond doubt,
and it is now wonder that this in
dustry has not engaged the attention OF
the Florida farmers en- al extensive
scale before this.
When the question of tobacco culture
was first agitated by the Citizen one
year ago it became the subject of inves-
tigation by party of Cubans, who were
proficient in it's culture, and, adopting
plans suggested IN this columns, they
finally established successful colony
at Fort Meade, where they have made
great success of their undertaking.
When this party was considering propo-
sitions made them by the people of sew
eral localities thay had occasion to visit
many parts of the state, and from these
places they obtained samples of the soil,
which, after they had returned to their
new homes in this city, they analysed
and found all the requisite properties
In all but ole Of the samples. This
shows how we'll the lands of the state
are suited for this purpose. In the gulf
hammock, lying between Ocala and
Cedar Keys, they found most desira-
BILE tract of land which could be utll-
lied advantageously for this purpose,
and the rich hammock IS so wide in ex-
tent that it would give room for thous-
ands of tobacco farms. They also found
that Mr.. Kermode, an English gentle.
man. had raised some excellent leaf on
his place. This was tested and proven
to be of superior quality. Mr.. Ker-
mode is now raising a small crop of
leaf.
By this time the original party had
concluded arrangements with the people
of Fort Meade to locate there, but it
was their intention to establish branch
colony at Gulf Hammock. The success
of their work at their headquarters,
however, was so great that they thought
it would be better to conf1ne their opera
lions to one place. DR.. Corrigan. who
owns large tract of land near San An
tonic, became interested in the new
venture, and he obtained the assistance
of an expert grower, Mr.. Pequence, and
secured a colony of Cubans for his place.
He has given them comfortable houses
in which to live, and has just completed
a large curing house on his premises.

BICYCLE CoASTING DANGEROUS.
Advice to. Riders Who Are Apt to BE
Overventuresome.

OverVenturesome.
There is encouragement in pointing out
the risks of coasting on the bicycle, because
many have already realized the danger and
refrain from the practice. Those who ride
the wheel well know what temptation it
Is to take their feet from the pedals when
they come to long hill and run swiftly
down without any effort on their part. The
danger lies in not being able to get the feet
back on the pedals again when the ma
chine is moving rapidly, in case it be-
comes necessary to do SO. No bicycle oan
be controlled unless the feet are on the
pedals.
A number Of unexpected events are H.
able to occur to rider, and especially
when trayersing roads with which he is
not entirely familiar. Every precaution
should be used to guard against these. The
public has been startled by the experiences
of the Rev. John Britain Clark, who was
found in an unconscious condition and very
seriously injured near Hackettstown, N.
J. twas first stated that Mr.. Clark's ac-
cident was caused by his coasting down
long hill and running into ravine But
this turns out to be only a theory, for tho
wounded man has not yet SO far recovered
as to be able to give an account of the ac-
cident. He was found unconscious at the
foot Of steep hill, and If 1t develops later
that he was coasting another serious acct
dent will be added to the many which have
been caused by this hazardous practice.
Many people ride the wheel and the pro-
portion of accidents is small, but the ex-
perience just referred to shows need of
great care. Even persons who ordinarily
exercise caution occasionally get into trou-
ble SO that reckless riders are pretty sure
to come to grief sooner or later.--Brook-
Ign Standard.

Helmagen, u Roumanian country town
Of 1,e00 inhabitants, holds its annual fair
OIL the feast of st. Theodore.
On this occasion the place swarms with
newly married brides from some so to 80
villages in the district, though widows
who have taken fresh husbands remain at
home.
The young women, in festive attire and
generally attended by their mothers-in-
law, carry jugs of wine inwreathed with
flowers in their hands.
They kias almost every man they meet,
and afterward present the jug to his lips
The individual thus RECALLED bestows q
small gift on the fair bride.
Not to partake of the proffered wine is
regarded as an insult to the young wife
and her family. She is therefore reserved
toward strangers, and only kisses those
whom sho thinks likely to taste her wine.
The origin Of this custom is not known.
Some say that it dates back to the time
when the Turks made frequent raids into
Pennsylvania and carried away all the
young women on whom they could lay
hands.
Such of them as contrived to escape from
captivity, happening to return to Helmagen
at the time Of the fair, kissed their friends
and relatives and even strangers who con-
graduated them on their wonderful deliy.

Useful Tubers.

Great quantities of buttons, as well as
billiard balls, are now made from potatoes.
1t is not generally known that If the sub
stance of the common potato be treated
with certain acids it becomes almost as
hard as stone and can be used for many
purposes for which horn, ivory and bone
are now employed. This quality of the po-
tato adapts it to button making, and
very good grade of button is now made
from the well known tuber. The potato
button cannot be distinguished from tho
others save by careful examination and
even then only by an expert, since it can
be colorcd to suit the goods on which it is
used. 1t is every whit as good looking as
button of bone or ivory. The cheapness
Is a great recommendation and will no
doubt lead to much larger employment
in the future.
