THE VAGARIES OF NATURE.
ed coffee grown.

The ways of nature are always
mysterious, because man fails to
grasp the laws through which they
operate. At times, however, nature
seems to break away from it's general
practices, and then it's operations APP
pear doubly mysterious. Almeria, the
famous table grape growing district
of Spain, is located about eighty
miles from Malaga, the home of the
raisin grape, and in Almeria may be
seen some peculiar natural condi-
tions. There, grapes of certain va
riety are grown which, though thin
skinned, will Withstand what looks
to be a severe experience in packing,
and all injury in a shipment to a
great distance. Grapes and cork dust
are placed in barrel, in regular Or
der of course, until they rise to quite
a height above the barrel top. The
whole is then pressed down until the
head is put in place. So packed, the
Almeria grape is sent by rail and
boat to wherever market can be
found, and given only fair treatment,
will then keep until March or April.
Only enghty miles away, at Malaga,
where raisin grapes grow to perfec-
ton, the same type of table grape
will not pack, ship and keep as it does
in the Almeria district. Nature is eX-
ceedingly mysterious in it's produc-
tion of the fig or commerce. The fig
of Smyrna, in Asia Minor, is not and
cannot be grown of the same quality
one hundred miles away from that
district. Many other similar in
stances might be given California

of all, if it was true coffee bean
that would make a good beverage, we
cracked about a dozen, took out the
green kernels-two to each seed
and, browning them in tin pan on
top the stove, got, after grinding,
good sized teaspoonful of grain
which, under the deft manipulations
of the mistress of the household,
came upon the table as a sample OF
cascarilla coffee. 1t proved to be the
genuine article which, had the grains
been properly dried and cured, would
have equalled the best Mocha. If it
will grow in Florida, no family need
be without it's home grown coffee.
The manager of the Mexican Plant
company of Maravitie, Mexico in his
circular relative to this new plant
speaks very favorably of it as some
thing that will succeed in Florida.
He describes it as an evergreen
dwarf growing variety, does we'll in
good forest soil, very easy to care
for and considered more ornamental
than the rubber plant. 1t will flower
and fruit some at two years, and
abundantly at three years; Towering
and fruiting at the same time for
several months in the year. We have
seen plants four years old bearing
from four to six pounds of coffee;
while the rarity Of the plant itself is
worthy attention, the coffee berry is
certainly the most exquisitely flavor
ed coffee grown.

Oascarilla Coffee.

If the cascarilla coffee should prove
canable of culture in Florida it will
add a most important economic plant
to the home garden. A short time
ago we sent for some of the seed to
give it a trial. Curious to know, first

ghum, cassava, chufas, arrow root,
sweet potatoes. In addition to these
we can make a pasture of Bermuda
grass. Nothing that 1 have ever tried
makes hogs grow like cassava and
chufas. Chufas will fatten a razor
back and that is the strongest testi-
mony tlat I can give in favor of
them. Casava is a splendid feed.
Every thing likes it, and we can have
it the entire year as it will grow for
two years. The third year it will rot
yield of anything I have tried. 1t has
been known to yield as much as fifty
pounds to the hill, and 7 have dug it
where it had no specialcare and found
a root to weigh twentysix and one
half pounds, but it was two years
growth.
In order to fertilize the trees a part
of the feed would have to be grown
outside of the grove, and in the fall
the hogs could be penned and given
muck and leaf mold to work over,
which will help good deal.
just a word about commercial fer
tiizers. [ use them and in the care
of my farm, groves and gardens I
find I get the best results by using
farm manure and commercial togeth-
er. Lay the foundation of your crop
with farm manure and then add the
commercial fertilizer, and you are sure
of a good crop, but it is nessessary to
use potash any way. This soil does
not contain very much potash and
there's not much in the farm manure.
The fertiliZing value of farm manure
is but a small part of it's worth. The
greatest argument in favor of it's use
is the mechanical effect it has on the
soil, making it light and porous and
admitting the air.
The limited space allowed for this
article has prevented my entering into
details as [ would Like. A grove can
be made successfully with other kinds
of farm manures, but [ think there is
a better chance for profit by keep
ing hogs, as there is always market
for bacon. If large hogs are desired
all you have to do is to keep them
until they are two years old. [ have

with hawks, jiggers, mites and lice
there is very little rest for the person
engaged in it on a very large scale. It
is not an easy matter to find market

the price of a hen farm in Florida.
Nowhere that I have ever lived are
the hawks so troublesome as they are

other mode of warfare and hope to
