problems of the soil. The broad minded
agriculturist who avails himself of these
researches and discoveries is man to
be euvied. We may yet attain the art
of making malleable glass, and under
such protection acres may be devoted to
the growth of vegetables and tropical
fruits Tor our local markets. Rapid
transit and improved refrigerator cars
will enlarge the territory to be supplied.
The broad belts of the temperate zones
extending round the world will be eX-
plored in search of new varieties of
grain, trees, flowers and shrubs for our
use. TIE laws of animal breeding and
heredity will be better understood and
our domestic stock greatly improved.
America will possess the finest poultry
in the world, and the states fitted for
cattle raising and dairying will vie with
one another for the leadership.
The electric age will materially i'm
prove the condition of the agriculturist.
I look for the day when each farmer
will own an electric equipment to fur

Strawberries in the Far South

One popularity of the strawberry in
Florida IS the great length of the ripen-
ing season, says S. Powers in American
Agriculturist. Ripe berries are some
times picked in December and January,
but they are not usually shipped much
before February Is, or March l.. One
year l had enough berries to make a
dish February Land on July Amy chill
dren managed to find enough scattering
berries to make strawberry shortcake,
all from a single variety, the Neuman
Improved, or Charleston, which filled
the whole interval between the two
above dates with ripe berries every day.
But they ripen slowly; 1.-The pickers seldom
obtain more than half dozen berries
from plant-not more than two or
three on an average.

1t is notable fact that many of our best

prediction for rural life. Webster de-

Mount Vernon has been rendered classic

by the village of retired organ grinders,
which, we are told, is to be found in
Italy. They exhibit as great serenity

Pineapple Suckers Again.
Editor Florida Agriculturist:


Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Pardon me for asking little space In
your valuable paper to answer few
apparent points made by Mr.. Rowland
in the columns of the AGRICULTURIsT of
5th inst. He said the fine condition the
pineapple came in that received in De-
cember was on account of cool weather.
He forgets the apples came all the way
through a sub-tropical climate. Again
he says, the Smooth Cayenne grows in
the Hawaiian Islands; they being in a
tropical climate are controlled, while
those grown in Florida ripen in July
and August. Facts are what we are
after. The main crop of the Islands is
taken off in June, July and August. the
hottest months of the year. Yet they
ship them thousands of miles, to Japan,
China and North America in the best
condition. Again he says they grow the
Smooth Cayenne In the Azores Islands
because they are very large pine. and
more profitable; for the same reason we
grow them.
Mr.. Rowland informs us that there
are plenty Of Smooth Cayenne pines
grown IN Florida. admit this as fact,
and Mr.. Rowland would by this attempt
lead the would be planters to believe
that there are plenty of suckers to be
had in Florida today. This is an error.
venture the assertion that Mr.. Rowland
nor any of the gentlemen named by him
as growing the Smooth Cayenne, have
any suckers to sell now, and will not
have until after the next crop of apples
are taken off. The suckers follow the
fruit, and Mr.. Rowland informs us the
fruit ripens with him in July and Au.
gust, hence there will not be any Florida
grown suckers until several months after
that, and parties that contemplate plant
ing, will lose year if they wait for this
new crop of plants that he says he is
booking orders for. Mr.. FL. invites me
to visit the Indian river pineries and
learn thereby. I have already done so
and several other large pineapple grow
ing countries. Mr.. Rowland raises
new point, and one entirely foreign to
the subject My personal experience in
pineapple growing, venture the sug-
gestion, outranks his by several years.
The Smooth Cayenne pineapple is to-
day taking the lead, simply because the
people want it, and this makes it the
most valuable to grow; one more point
and leave the subject with your readers.
If there are so many Smooth Cayenne
pineapple suckers now for sale in Flor
ida, and especially along the Indian
river, why is it so many parties there are
buying Of me at this time from that To-
cality? l have one order for 100000
suckers and several smaller ones from
other gentlemen. GEO. WRIGHT.

ries ripen in the winter and early spring,
the sun is so low down in the south that
the plants need to be isolated, so that
the sunshine may find and color up
every berry. Ripening at this season of
| the year, the berries are tolerably acid
at the best. and if they did not have
high color they would not have
much to attract the buyer. Second,
owing to the cost of horse-keep. most of
the cultivation is done with hand plows,
which permits very close setting of the
plants; and as the latter are small, the
cultivation is very nice and particular,
putting TO shame the shaggy, matted
rows Of the northern grower, interlarded
with weeds and grass. Ninety-five per
cent of the manure used is commercial
| fertilizer, and it is more convenient and
economical to apply this in light
furrow close beside the plants than it
could be in matted row.
The plants are set in the fall from
August to November, and fruit the fol-
lowing spring. If protected and kept
alive through the summer, they will
bear more fruit the second year, and
even the third, than the first, but the
berries are never so large and fine after
the first year. Most growers set large
proportion of their beds fresh every
year. During the ''rainy season" of
midsummer there grows up a great
mass of trash, -chiefy crab gras and
bull grassland unless it is checked by
one or two hoelngs. or the plants are
shaded by some tall-growing crop, like
corn or rice, this trash chokes the plants
and kills them. The best growers cul-
tivate the plants half dozen times |
during the fall, and fertilize them three
or four times. In the thin soil of Florida, |
which are especially lacking in potash,
it is better to feed the plants along from |
time to time than 60 apply the whole |
ration of fertilizer at once. If plants |
are set early in the fall and make a
vigorous growth, they must be sus-
tanned with applications of fertilizers
especially potassic fertilizers-or else |
they will be attacked with white bud,"
cor die back" which is simply an in
die alton that they have consumed their |
ration of food and need more. With |
strawberries, as with Irish potaters, it
is found to invigorate the growth to
procure fresh plants from the north
once in two or three years.
One year shipped 1872 bushels from
two and one-half acres $4,000 plants),
and the shipping season ended while the
plants were still in the height of their
fruiting. The average yield of Florida
will not exceed so bushels per acre, and
many growers do not ship Is bushels
per acre. 1t needs very careful atten-
ton and from $50 to $40 worth of fer
tllizer per acre to produce good crops.
During the thee years I was giving my
personal attention to strawberry grow
ing, received an average net of 1870,

An Important Office.

To properly fill its office and func-
tions, it is important that the blood be
pure. When il is in such condition,
the body is almost certain to be healthy
A complaint at this time is catarrh In
some ofits various forms. A slight cold
develops the disease il the head. Drop
pings of corruption passing into the
lungs bring on consumption. The only
way to cure this disease is to purify the
blood. The most obstinate cases of
catarrh yield to the medicinal powers
of Hoods Sarsaparilla as II by magic,
simply because it reaches the seat of
the disease, and by purifying and vital
izing the blood, removsssthe cause, Not
only does Hoods Sarsapa riila do this.
but it gives renewed vigor DO the whole
system, making it possible for good
health to reign supreme.
