HOW TO FERTILIZE.

AS in orange culture so also here fer
tiliZation is the main bone of contention,
and there are as many theories as there
are planters. Cotton-seed meal, blood
and bone, and ground tobacco stems are
probably used more than any other fer
tilizers. Along with these sulphate of
potash is frequently used to increase the
amount of potash. There are a number
of commercial fertilizers on the market
which have apparently given very fair
results. From 1900 to 1000 pounds per
acre yearly of complete fertilizer is
usually considered necessary to give
good results. This is generally given in
two or three applications. The first ap-
plication is usually made shortly after
the plants are set out. If fertilizer

grade sulphate of potash or sulphate OF

The Hows and What's Of Pineapple Culture.

/ have been asked NUMBER or times
this spring in regard TO methods OF pine
apple culture, and whether it is probable
that pineapples could be successfully
grown at Eustis. 1t has thus been sug
gested to me that few notes relative to
general methods of pineapple culture
NAV be of some interest to the citizens
of Eustis. In considering whether pine
apples can be grown here we must re-
member the fact that they were at one
time grown to considerable extent
throughout Lake, Orange and Volusia
counties, but that the industry in these
sections has been largely abandoned.
At Orlando, however, the industry has
now in that section some thirty acres.
All growers engaged In the ind ustry at
this point consider that they are sue
ceeding just as well or better than the
growers of the Indian River section and
those on the Keys 1t must be admitted
by anyone familiar with the industry
in all portions of the state that the
Orlando plantations appear to have
succeeded as we'll as those in ether re-
gions. 1t is probable that many of the
failures in the central sections of the
state heretofore have been from wrong
methods of culture. The plants through
out these northern sections must of
course be thoroughly shielded as pro-
lection against frost. The sheds
which are being used at the present
time, the method Of construction OF
which will be explained later, cost from
$500 to $500 per acre. This would seem
to be an enormous outlay, which pine
apple growers in the southern part OF
the state would not be required to ex-
pend. 1t is fact, however, that pine
apple growers in all sections of the State
are coming to consider that shedding is
very desirable practice, entirely aside
from the protection which they afford
against frosts. The shed has the effect
of conserving the moisture, preventing
evaporation, sunburning, etc. Plants
grown under sheds fruit more regularly
and the fruit is larger and of finer
quality. Growers even in the extreme
southern part of the state are putting
up large sheds and claim them to be a
profitable investment. The sheds which
have been used heretofore in the Eustis
section were largely poorly constructed
affairs which were very unsatisfactory.
With the proper sheds and proper Gull
tivation | think it is probable that pine
apples can be as successfully grown
here as at Orlando.
HOW TO CONSTRUCT THE SHED.
Pineapple sheds are now usually made
from seven to seven and one-half feet
high in order to facilitate cultivation
and harvesting. They are covered with
three inches states placed three inches
apart. Some use narrower and some
wider strips, but the general opinion is
that about one-half of the light should
be cut off. The Stats are usually run
north and south, to better equajze the
light. The sides of the shed are usually
Slated up in the same manner as the
top In this region, where we are liable
to have quite heavy frosts every few
years, 1T will be necessary to board the

stderably varied, according to the lum-
Der accessible.
HOW TO PLANT.
Pineapples are normally propagated
by slips or suckers, the former being
lateral shoots formed on the stem under
meath the fruit, and the latter from the
main stem either below or near the sur
face of the SOIL Slips are smaller
than suckers and usually require about
twenty months to mature, while good
suckers often fruit the next year after
planting. Nevertheless, as whole, slips
are preferred by most planters. The
principal planning season is in July and
August, just following the fruiting sea-
son. 1t is important that one should
plant SIS early as they can secure mature
slips or suckers, as it is desirable to get
the plants we'll rooted during the rainy
season. The p ants are generally put
out in beds about fourteen feet wide and
any desirable length. In these beds the
plants or suckers are set from % to &c
inches apart each way. Red Spanish
are usually planted from 20 to % inches
apart; Queens about % inches; Abakkas
and Smooth Cayennes from % to "a
inches; Porto Ricos (the largest Variety,
about 30 inches apart. Before planting
the suckers should be pruned or trim
cd ic hot ic foxxy IF
the basal leaves should be pulled away,
and the basal end cut off squarely with
sharp knife. They are then planted
in the ground from four to six inches
deep and the soil thoroughly packed
around the basal ends.
WHAT TO PLANT.
The varieties which are considered by
most growers to be the best are the
Abakka, Smooth Cayenne, Queen, Porto
Rico, etc. These are all what are
termed fancy sorts. The pine which is
most common is that known as the
Spanish, or Red Spanish. This, how
ever. is by no means so good fruit as
certain other varieties, and if one goes
to the expense of shedding, which is
necessary here, it is not likely that it
will pay to grow the common variety.
The other varieties are just as hardy so
far as cold is concerned.
HOW TO CULTIVATE.
What may be termed clean cultivation
is followed by most all pineapple grow
ers in Florida: that is, the soil is kept
bare and as free from weeds as possible.
Mulching has been followed to some ex-
tent, but has not proven satisfactory.
Cultivation is done altogether with
long-handled shufde-hoe. The beds are
made narrow so that cultivation may be
done from the paths without necessitat-
ing the workmen to go among the
plants. They are usually hoed as fire.

weeds down.

HIS VIGILANCE REWARDED.
Tho Story Of n Man Who Was Prepared
For Footpads.

Tho Story Of n Man Who Was Prepared
For Footpads.
There is man i'll Buena Park who
has always been afraid Of being robbed
by footpads. A few weeks ago he decided
that he would prepare himself to defend
his property aud person if attacked. So
he purchased revolver-not an ordi-
nary revolver, but a long barreled one,
the sort the cowboys carry out west.
For several nights he carried the gun,
and the assurance with which he walked
no doubt frightened the footpads, for
they left him uDmolested. He was
pleased with the sense of security he felt
from the humping of this weapon
against his leg, and his fears were quiet
ed until one night not long ago.
The sidewalks were slippery, and he
was picking his way along toward his
homo, when man bumped against him.
The offender was profuse in his apollo
gies as he struggled to regain his foot
hold.
1t was purely accidental, assure
you, Sir" said he. Certainly, certain
ly," replied the Buena Park man, "no
harm done, land they separated.
A moment later ne felt for his watch,
it was gone. Then he felt for his gun !:
it was safe, and its size and weight gave
him courage. He turned and started on
the run in the direction the man had
taken. and before he had gone block
overlook him. He grabbed him by the
collar with his left hand, and, sticking
the pistol in his face, commanded him
TO give up the watch.
"All right, all right; don't shoot, {"
said the trembling man, as he handed
out watch, and, breaking away, ran
down the street as fast as his legs would
carry him.
iii teach you footpads thing or
two" shouted the Buena Park man, but
there was no response, and putting the
watch in his pocket he started toward
home. At each step he grew more and
more indignant ut the state of society
that permitted such criminals as pick
pockets and footpads, and when he
reached home he was very angry.
What makes you look so ferocious?''
were his wife's first words.
"Been held up; fellow took my
watch, but 1 got it back again, " he said.
"What are you talking about? You

watch that belonged to the other man.
