well removed, and when the vine reaches
just above the wire, pinch it back, and
that will cause it to throw cut arms on

Remove all shoots as they start out

The Great Possibilities of the South.

The Great Possibilities of the South.
Mr.. G. P. Huntington, the head of the
great Southern Pacific Railroad System,
recently took occasion to state his views
with reference to the future of the South
Among other things he stated: "The
section of country south of what is
known 90 the Mason and Dixon's Line
and east Of the Mississippi river possesses
opportunities for colonization not en-
joyed by any other section of this coun-
try. Climatic conditions, the fertility
of the soil, and the fact that filling and
planting of all kinds of crops is less ex-
pensive than in the northwestern and
far-off western territory will, [ think,
induce an increased immigration to the
South. Land is comparatively cheap
there and to large class of immigrants
the rigors of the blizzard weather in the
higher ATTITUDES are uncomfortable.
These views, coming as they do from
one of the best known and most pro-
gressive business men in this country,
are worthy of serious consideration.
They indicate with unerring certainty
the great possibilities of the New South,
and the pronounced movement of farm
ers from the northwest to the milder
climate and cheap soil of the South pre-
sents the strongest evidence of the ac-
curacy of Mr.. Huntington's judgment.
Within the past party of fifteen
visited the Tallahassee region. under the
auspices of the Clark Syndicate Compan-
les, and upward Of two thousand acres
were purchased in the Tallahassee re-
gion by farmers whe propose to settle in
hat oountry.-Farm and Fireside.

Ostrich Farming on the East Coast.

If ostrich farming on the East Coast
should prove success, and we see no
particular reason why it should not,
great credit must be given to Mr.. FL. j.
Tiffin, who is the first in the field to
make the attempt; and 1t should more
over be q very profitable undertaking,
as the value of the feathers ranges from
a few dollars to 5000 and $3.50 per pound.
1t lie estimated that to feed eighty birds
600 acres of grass are required, or seven
and half acres to the bird, and II the
grass is poor, as 1t is in this state, the
amount of nourishment must be supple
mented with shrubs and little corn now
and then.
The ostrich is the largest bird in ex-
istence, being from six to eight feet in
height, q full grown male weighing from
200 to 300 pounds. The general plum
age 10 a glossy black in the adult male,
the female and young having dark grey
with a few white feathers; the long
plume feathers of the tail are white,
with occasional black marks. The os-
trich is q voraclous feeder, and has been
known to swallow pieces Of iron, bricks,
glass, old shoes, etc; 1t is capable OF
withstanding a great amount OF thirst
...Shonld Mr.. Tiff1n's experiment prove
successful, his lead will no doubt be fol-
lowed by hosts Of others, and in few
years ostrich farming may be added to
the resources of South Florida.

Judge Locke, of the United States
circuit court for the southern district OF
Florida, has granted an order changing
the price for the sale Of the Jack
sonville, Tampa & Key West railway
from $1,000 to $3.50, 900. The reasons
given for this change are that upon a
further investigation Of the matter it
was found that there was large amount
of taxes due and unpaid, which had not
been considered in the former order
fixing the amount of the upset price.
This price is payable in cash or in the
receivers certificates that have been
issued by Joseph FL. Durkee, receiver
Citizen.
Some maliciously disposed persons
who are known by the choppers of that
section, placed some sweet potatoes con-
tanning paris green around the fields OF
tom atoes of Lippincott Bros, and some
other gardens in Clermont, and then
went to the cattlemen and told them
that the poison was placed there by
these gardeners to poison cattle running
at large. and then took the cattlemen to
the fields and showed the poisoned pota-
toes. OF corse, this caused great deal
of hard feelings against the gardeners
by the cattlemen. with threatenings to
innocent people, but there was no trouble
in proving that the men who told the
cattlemen were the very men who put
out the poison, and everything is quiet
now. No legal proceedings have been
taken against them yet, BUTT is thought
probable there will be soon.

fact that should furnish an object lesson

Messrs. Sulzer and Gibson--Reso-

Washington, March 19.-Cuba had the
entire attention of the senate today,
speeches being made by Messrs Gray,
Chiffon and Caffery, the debate being
enlivened by many spirited incidents.
Mr.. Gray's plea for Cuba brought on
a running cross fire of comment and in
quiry from Mr.. Hale. The Delaware
senator caused much amusement by re-
ferring to Mr.. Hale as the senator from
Spain.
A fresh and vigorous contribution to
the debate came from Mr. Chiffon of
Texas, who has seldom addressed the
senate. He urged that there was abun-
dant work at home to occupy the atten-
ton of congress instead of enlisting in
humanitarian crusades abroad with their
possibilities of war.
Mr.. Caffery also opposed the Cuban
resolutions.
Senators Palmer, Mills, Plat and some
Others are yet to be heard on the resolu-
tons and no time for vote has been
fixed.

in 81 seconds. His invent ton con-
sists, in part, of a tape which is to
be perforated so as to represent
each letter. A message thus can be
perforated at the rate Of twenty
five words minute. The message
thus perforated, when transmitted,
registers itself In dashes at the
end of the wire. No matter how
fast this perforated tape passes
through the transmitter, impelled
by whirling cylinders, the receiver
faithfully records each perforatlon
at the other end. One wire can
carry messages as fast as fifty or
more perforator operators could
get them ready. Over 10000 mes
sages, or letters, at Is words aver
age, could be thus sent daily from
New York to Chicago at Is cents
per message-received by postmen
and delivered by postmen. Elec-
trical experts are deeply interested
in this MISUNDERSTANDING.
