On his one acre Mr.. Lindsey raises
eight varieties of tobacco, namely, the
Vuelta Abajo (Cuban), the Little Cuba,
the Comstock Spanish, the Hyco the
Hester (from Connecticut). the Con-
necticut seed-leaf, the Sumatra, the
Burcklen hybrid and a hybrid of his own
production. The pure Sum atra he has
discarded as of no value for Florida, but
he uses it to produce this hybrid just
mentioned. In separate bed where he
wishes to raise plants to produce seed,
he sets out two plants of the Comstock
to one of the Sumatra thus giving in
the hybrid a preponderance of the Com
stock qualities. On his seed bearing
plants he allows only the first bud to
produce seed, all the others are plucked
off. S. Powers, lin Country Gentleman.

Immigration.

Instead of crying calamity and hard
times in the State, the people of Florida
should emulate the example of Clay,
Marion and one or two other counties,
and advertise to the world the manifold
advantages offered to settlers through
the wonderful fertility of soil and equa-
bility of climate.
Through energy and intelligent effort
much of the valuable land of Clay county
has been disposed of to thrifty farmers
of the Northwest, and early in the COM
ing year these people will leave their
present place of residence and rear their
household affairs within the borders Of
the Peninsular State. They are a class
ofpeople who make good citizens, and
any community of which they become
part is benefited.
These people will soon find that the
productive powers Of Florida soil are
continuous, and that diversity of crops
can be raised whose rapidly maturing
qualities have hitherto been undreamed
of in their farming experience in the
sluggish northern districts. They will
lind also that more returns can be Sc
cured from day. labor and more labor
can be done in a year than in any Sec
tion of the United States.
There are In the State of Florida va
can't and unreclaimed lands with pro-
ductive power sufficient to support q
population of millions, and there are
few counties wherein large tracts of
these lands do not exist, lying idle and
unremunerative simply for the want of
people to cultivate them. Upon these
lands colonies could be readily established
and in few years what is now wilder
ness would become garden.
There is large agricultural popula-
ton in the North and West which has
become weary and disheartened by the
rigorous climatic conditions that made
the safe harvesting of crops the excep-
ton rather than the rule. The eyes of
| these people are turned Southwark, and
nothing is more natural than that they
should go to those sections which take
the trouble to tell the world the advan-
tages they offer to settlers and home
seekers. Every county in Florida should
adopt some method of making known
it's resources and inducements to immi-
grafton, and if it were judiciously and
intelligently done the population and
wealth of this State would be many

fine cigar tobacco, cannot be forced very
much, or 1t will be.om too coarse and
rank and lose more in quality than it
gains in quantity. I have an instance
in mind where this assertion seems to
be measurably disproved.
Two miles north of Jacksonville, Fla.
lives Mr.. E. A. Lindsley,a former citizen
of New York, who has lived in his pres
ent place twenty years. He has a farm
of sixteen acres, and of this he cultivates
only one acre in tobacco, all the rest of
the land being devoted to forage and
food crops. He s ,ys he cannot care for
more than one acre. and do it properly,
and his system is certainly painstaklng
and thorough. He has three fine, large
Tennessee horses, besides some other
good stock; his house and grounds are
well-kept, showing prosperity, and at
one side of his grounds is substantial
building plaza rded as Ella Rose Cigar
Fac tory No SO, "where he manufactures
his little crop into cigars.
He calls his place blackjack ridge,
and there is considerable sprinkling of
oaks among the pines, but the majestic
water oaks and sycamores along the
roadside demonstrate that the soil has
some substantial qualities. 1t is a very
light, sandy soil, OF only few inches
depth, superimposed upon a subsoil,
which would be the delight of the orange
grower-a rich, golden sand, almost as
mellow TO the touch as velvet. There
is practically no clay bottom, at least a
nine-foot well has not revealed any.
There is swale of black, waxy muck
running down through the farm, which
is far richer than the adjoining ridges,
yet this swale is so frosty and treach-
erous that he is engaged with an ingen-
ious continuance in filing 1t up with
sand to improve It's agricultural uses.
He had one horse hitched to plow and
two others, each to long plank with
low sides. These planks were placed
end to end and furrow slice plowed on
to them, thus loading them in two Sec
onds with 700 to 1000 pounds of sand a
piece, which he then hauled down into
the swale and dumped. This stripped off
the few inches of real soil, leaving only
the yellow sand; yet he said he would
rather begin over again and create soil
on these peeled ridges than to attempt
to cultivate crops down on that rich,
black muck.
He uses only animal manure, and,
latterly, little ashes-not even cotton
seed meal. In addition to his own supply
he hauls good deal from the stables of
the Southern Express Company and
others in the CITY,. 1t lies widely scat
tered in his barnyard, which, of course
causes good deal to waste in the rain,
but prevents it from fire. fanging and
rots it throughly, without which it
is not fit to be applied to fine cigar
tobacco plants. He hauls it on to the
land without stint, seventy or eighty
one-horse wagon-loads to the acre, and
one of his powerful horses will haul as
much as two ordinary Florida ponies.
Next spring he will try some ashes
from the city crematory-not from the
main furnace where melon rinds and
tin cans are burned, but from the special
furnace where bones and dead amin ais

The peculiDrity of the date Of 1896 j.
it's involved connection with the digit 3.
As that number is regarded by those
who hold superstitious belief as pro
verbally lucky one, from its association
with certain Biblical events, it is to be
hoped that the coming annual cycle may
prove this enc particular theory to be
true, and that Jan. l will usher III 40
suspicious season Of material and fluun
cial prosperity.
The number 1896 is equally divislblo
by 3. So is the sum of its digits, / plus
8 plus plus 6 (and the reverse is nee
essarily the same) equaling "a, which
again united, 2 plus 4, equals 6. Sepa-
rating its hundreds from the tens, Is
and 96 or 81 and 60, they are still mul.
tiples of 3. The sum of the first and
last digits, plus 6, equals Z. Added to
the two middle figures they produce SO,
which is the last two units of the date,
being equally divisible by 3, as is its
sum, 8 plus 6, equals 10.
The centuries IS are divisible wholly
by 9, 6 and 3; the number reversed, 81,
by 8 and by 3, by the product of these
two numbers 90 multiplied by 81 81,
and the sum of the digits, plus s,
equals o. The sum of the first two fig
ures in the date, represented as digits,
equals the third. Eighteen plus SO
equals ia, and SO minus IS equals rs,
over which the my site 3 has full con-
troll, as it does over the sum of the digits
in these latter numbers, plus plus
4 equals 6, and plus s equals 10.
And 10 minus equals 8, while Is plus
equals 81, the sum of whose digits,
3 plus /, equals 8. The product of the
digits in the year, l multiplied by s by
9 by 6, equals 432, multiple of 3, and
the sum of the unit figures, plus 3
plus 2 is 8, Eighteen minus equals 8,
and 8 minus 6 equals 8.
From this can be derived the infalli-
BILE rule that when the sum of the digits
of any number is equally divisible by 8
the number itself is common multiple.
For instance the numbers 261 equals 81
and H44l equals l2) must necessarily
be equally divisible by the mysterious
factor 3. ALBERT p. SoUTHwICK.

Double standard Mani. Sugar.

The Mohawk valley was settled by
the Dutch, as your readers know. When
the country was new, Yankee peddlers
came through the settlements and pur-
chased the crop of maple sugar. On one
occasion a green Dutchman sold Yam
kee his maple sugar far below the mar.
ket price, and his neighbors teased him
for being deceived. He said in reply:
You wait and | will vix him next
year" The next spring lie sold his crop
of sugar to the same Yankee AT the same
price. When his neighbors rallied him,
he said: II am no fool. / mace the sap
that sugar was made from Of half spring
water. " The green Dutch farmer had
just as much common sense as those
cranks who assert that 90 cents worth

Scorching and Reading.

The man who gets so interested in his
newspaper ON the street cars that he is
oblivious to women who stand and men
who climb over him has not endeared
himself TO his kind; but Kansas City
has produced even greater nuisance in
a bicyclist who reads as he rides. 1t
would seem to the casual observer that
the bicycle offered sufficient advantages
to infiict or receive accidents even when
the rider kept his eyes open and his wits
alert. This rider is described as going
scorching along with his attention APP
parently absorbed by what ne is reading,
while terrified pedestrians climb the tel
ephone poles and seek such other places
Of safety rs they can find. A few days
ago another rider followed him, hoping
20 be in at the death; but the literary
bicyclist rode ON, reading congenial
tales of battle, murder and sudden death,
until he turned down a quiet street,
where he folded his paper, put il in his
pocket and coasted safely into his own
yard. New Orleans Picayune

formed the basis OF more modern Euro.
pean coins. The form, coined in Flor
ence in tho fourteenth century, was
Che first regular coin Of western Europe.
1t soon became the recognized unit of
value in commerce and was replaced
only bJ the English sovereign, which
has since, remained the standard unit of
value for international trade.
The commercial world has chosen
gold as money because, all things con-
sidered, it is better fitted foI this pur-
pose than any other metal or substance.
Ii owes its position entirely to its H.
trIns1c worth. II has needed no specia,
legislation to sustain it, nor has the al
most unlimited special legislation in
the interest of silver and other metals
and substances been able to make them
las good as gold" in any modern civil
liked country. 1t has come by evolution
and will not go even by revolution. We
have passed the fishhook, wampum, to-
bacco, iron and silver stages of civiliza-
ton and have entered the golden stage.
Each year sees some progressive country
stop experimenting with the tickle and
huctuating silver standard and declare
for the stable and world recognized gold
standard Of value. Possibly we may, by
foolish legislation, make silver legal
tender for awhile and drive gold out
of circulation, but our commercial in
terests will continue to use gold, and
soon all interests will be glad to drop
Mexico and China and TO return to the
society of civilized nations.

Sheriff Hill. OF Baraga county, effected
n very clever capture OF the two men who
are suspected OF having burglarized the
post office and depot ut Baraga last Fri
day night. He traced them as far as
NewtOnvile Saturday and taking the
train came on to Houghton. where he
learned that his men had not been seen.
He donned rough-looking suit OF clothes
and went down the road toward the club
house and lay in wait for his men and
was rewarded early Sunday morning by
seeing them coming along towards him.
He drew them into conversation and,
watching his opportunity, covered them
with his revolver and took them back to
Houghton, where they were found TO be
heavily armed.
In climbing out OF the depot window
at Baraga one OF the burglars tore three
buttons oifhis coat, which were picked
up by the sheriff and found to exactly
match the buttons on the coat OF one OF
the men arrested. They were taken to
Baraga, to be held for trial, Monday
morning.
