''Tef" a. Forage Plant.

A small plat of the grass known as
'"Teff" (Eragrostis abysonica) grown at
the Sub-Tropical Laboratory last year
elected some comment. The following
interesting notes on the use Of this grass
in tropical countries are copied from the
February, 1896, Bulletin of the Botanl-
cal Department of Jamaica:
Eragrostis abyssinica, Link,-A slen-
der annual grass, known in Abyssnia as
"teff," theft" or ''thaff." 1t is indigo
nous to the higher lands and is culti-
waited for the sake of its grain all over
Abyssinia. There are'several varieties
some, depending on the height Of the
plant, others on the color. According
to Richard, there are green, red, white
and purple teffs. The, grain crop re-
quires four months to ripen, In good
years it returns forty times the seed,
and only twenty times in bad years. ,
The -four of teff is very white, and pro-
duces bread of excellent quality. Seed
of teff was obtained by Kew in 1886, and
distributed to numerous establishments
in India and the colonies-Kew Bulletin,
1887. January, PIP. 26.
''The plant prefers light sandy soils,
and adapts itself even to the most sandy
it then produces slender, wiry stems,
and supports large weight of ear. The
grain is reported to make 'an excellent
fine hay in British Guiana and to ma.
ture IN six or eight weeks from the time
of sowing. For this purpose teff is well
worth cultivating. 1t is cleaner and
brighter looking than any oSher grass.
and is readily eaten by cattle and horses.
The reports from Australia and India
are equally favorable. The value of
this plant for fodder purposes is excep-
tienally high. It's chief merits in this re-
spect are the short time it takes to ma
ture, and its suitability to thrive in dry,
sandy regions where few other grasses
would flourish equally well.

tural- Horticultural society, 1888, p. 52'

on the old stump to be suckered by an
area of twenty feet of roots, am trying

This is my plan. do not recommend

An Old Grower Talks.

Mr.. q. s. Hardee, a we'll known and
experienced orange grower of the Indian
river section, is quoted as follows in an
interesting interview published in re-
cent mum Der of the Citizen:
81 came TO Indian river, said Mr.. Har-
dee, in the spring of 1868, young fellow
just out of a South Georgia cornfeld.
Planting an orange grove was about the
hardest work I ever undertook, for it
was all new to me, and I thought then
that If could raise 100 boxes year I'd
be doing fairly well.
81 bought eight acres of State land,
river front, upon which my house now
stands, and which I have used for a
residence site ever since, homesteading
the adjoining 100 acres on the west.
Here I began my eight acre Seeding
grove, which | lost last winter after
twenty-four years of bearing. Iplanted
the seeds myself, got my grove land
ready, did the transplanting, and then
worked hard to obtain results since
realized.
EVERY year I have learned something
new about the industry-every day, you
may say-and now, looking back upon
those first years, which may call the
years of idiocy, 1 wonder how l ever
produced any fruit at all. But my trees
grew and prospered. I enlarged my
area to more than thirty acres in time,
and at the time of last years freeze l
was shipping, and had been for several
years, 5000 boxes of oranges season.
"Within the past year have learned
more about orange culture than knew
in all of the preceding thirty years put
together. The freeze left me fiat, but it
was easier to start again in 1895 than it
was to start fresh in 1868, and it is easier
now for me to plant 100 acres than it
was then to plant two, although now I
have not half lifetime ahead of me as
had then.
Before the freeze 1 had just let
things rock along easily, each day bring
ing it's own work and ideas. But this
year have been putting into practice
many new ideas I was afraid to try
before. During the year have read a
great deal, chief among the matter

mo the climate and soil are very similar
to conditions on Indian river, and the
methods are almost the same, with one
exception. There the trees are at their
zenith at fifteen years, and at twenty
they are decidedly on the wane, just as
we have found on Indian river at twenty
five, or just before they are cut down
and destroyed. Well, no Indian river
grower ever had the courage to do that.

some three or four seers of seed, and
that the hill people have taken fancy
to the crop. The best thing he can do

piled to Mr.. Stevens the results obtained
appear very satisfactory for the first
season, and if the crop is found suitable
there should be no difficulty in establish
ing it next season.
"a very full account Of teff is given
by Mr.. J. F. Duthie, F. L. s., in the re-
port of the Saharunpur Gardens for the
year 1888, pp, lib. The following ex
tracts are of interest:
"Seeds Of the grass were sent to us
last year by the Director of the Royal
Gardens, Kew, with the remark that it
was an Abyssinian food grain which
might prove useful for india. Ihave a
bad opinion of it as food-grain, but
think better of it as fodder, and have
therefore classed it under the head of
fodder plants.
"Teff consists Of two varieties, one
with white seeds and the other with red
seeds. The white seed kind is said to
be cultivated in Abyssinia during the
dry season and the red during the rains.
We tried the two kinds here during both
seasons, and found. as stated, that the
white answered best for the dry season
and the red for the wet.
''Three sowtngs were made of the two
kinds, the first in March, the second in
April and the third in July. The March
sowing of the white variety gave an out
turn of grain at the rate of $50 pounds
per acre. while the red variety, sown on
the same date, gave an out-turn Of only
II pounds per acre. The crop was cut
IN the beginning of May, but sprang up
again in a second growth and yielded a
cutting of green fodder early in the rains
The note made regarding the weight OF
this cutting has, unfortunately, been
mislaid, and am therefore unable to
give it's approximate weight per acre.
"The April sowing of the white vari-
ETY. produced no grain, and the sowing
of the red variety made at the same
time returned only II pounds of grain
per acre. Both kinds, however, gave
good crop of fodder in the middle of
July, the red variety producing 1l,022
and the white 7,436 pounds per acre.
The cutting was in half-dried state
when weighed, or the figures would
have amounted to greater total.
"The July sowing of the white variety
gave an out-turn of II pounds of grain
per acre, and the sowing made on the
same date of the red resulted In an out

Her Sails Full of Holes.

People along the river saw strange
sight on the Delaware yesterday when the
Italian bark Salvatore Accame came up
the river from the northwest coast Of
Africa with every sail cut through by
numerous circular holes. There were
numerous conjectGres as to what had hap
pened to the vessel until it became known
that it was plan to make the vessel sail
faster, which had proved successful
There We're circular holes about a foot in
diameter, in both the square and fore and
att sails, presenting a strange sight when
all OF the canvas was spread to the breeze
to the passengers on vessels.
1t is claimed by Captain Andrena of
the Salvatore Accame-and he said it
was proved on the passage-that the holes
allow the dead air, which always accum-
ulates in the sails, to escape aid admit
fresh supply, which gives renewed i'm
petus to the vessel and drives her along at
speed which she could not reach or
maintain with the old fashioned sail This
was the first attempt ever made to
test the merits of such a sail, although it
has been discussed by experts for a long
time.
The passage of the Salvatore Accame
from Oran, Africa, in At days was an I'M
usually good one, considering the season
of the year and the fact that the vessel
was deep laden with full cargo
Experts believe that yachts and other
craft with the new sail can be made to

rate than with the old rig. Philadelphia
